WHAT WILL THEY DO WITH
HIM ?

The whole state of Massachusetts is
agitated with the absorbing question,
'sWill Butler run again next fall, and if
he does can he be beaten?" If he does
reconsider his determination not to be a
candidate for reelection and is renomi-
mated, it is evident that the state will see
the liveliest campaign in its history. The
governors remarkable course has natur-
ally aroused a great commotion. He has
devoted all his energies since coming into
office to persistent and INSCRIPTIONS
assault upon the good name of the state.
Whatever was respectable and honored
he has attacked, and he has shown no
squeamishness in the choice Of his weap-
ops. The result is that he has succeeded
in uniting the respectable voters Of all
parties solidly against him. He has
made it matter of State pride for every
loyal son of Massachusetts to denounce
his course. If he goes before the people
for reelection it will be as the candidate
of the ignorant and disreputable, and the
only question will be whether those
classes or the intelligent and respectable
people are numerically in the majority.
A republican leader in the state says
that Harvard's refusal to give the COVER
nor decree instead Of injuring the re-
publicans will help them, for it has set
the keynote of the next campaign. The
issue will be on the perpetuation of But
lerism or the return to dignified and re-
spectacle administration. Butler has GER
tainly not succeeded in developing any
other issue. His Tewsbury inquiry is
confessed on all hands to be a failure,
and there are unmistakable indications
that before the defence is closed public
sentiment will censure the governor for
his course in the whole business. Bos-
tonian said day or two ago that the

fectly to Butlerism as displayed in the

nee, by plurality of "a 800; but last fall
the tidal wave rolled over the state, and
as a result the democratic candidate for
secretary of state received a plurality of
1915 At the coming election both par
ties seem confident of success. Mr..
Thurman says there is no doubt of a
democratic victory, and other leaders
say the same thing. On the other hand,
Gov. Foster says the republicans are
sure to win, and the same certainty is eN-
pressed by other prominent politicians.
We shall see, next October.
New Jersey chooses governor, next
fall. There was no state election last
year, but on the aggregate vote for con-
gressmen the democrats had plurality
of 2093, and they had a plurality of six
on Joint ballot of the legislature.

ELECTIONS TO COME.

-Four state elections Of more than usual 4
interest and Importance are to be held the
coming faH-those in New York, Massa-
chusetts, Ohio and New jersey. All
these are ''tidal wave states-that is,
states in which the republican party was
temporarily but disasterously engulfed
by the tidal wave of last fall-and their
vote at the coming election will be of in
terest and Importance as showing the
drift of popular sentiment. In Massa-
chusetts, Gov. Butler had a plurality of
13,949, against republican plurality of
1928 in the preceding year. 1t is gen.
orally understood that he is a candidate
for reelection, and there will be a good
deal Of curiosity as to whether his years
incumbency of the gubernatorial office
has helped or hurt him. He has beyond
all question increased his popularity with
a certain class by his tilt against Tewks-
bury; and the snubbing he received from
Harvard college will undoubtedly help
him i'll some quarters-he says himself
that it will give him ten thousand votes ::
but on the other hand, his very undigni-
fed bearing, his petty quarrels and above
all the very meager character of his per-
Torrance when compared with the ante
election promises he made SO profusely,
will, we imagine, ALLEVIATE many voters.
The canvass will of course be a lively one
nothing is tame in which Gov. Butler
has hand-and the issue is doubtful.
But however that may be, Massachusetts
is, and will continue, republican state
on minor state officers the republican
candidates had an average plurality o.
twenty-five thousand votes over those or
the Butler ticket-and the election will
have little bearing on national issues
further than giving Gov. Butler a posi-
ole boom for the democratic presidential
nomination.
As to New York, we need not recit
the humiliating story of last fall. In
few months minor state officers are to b
chosen, and we shall then see whether O
not the tidal wave has receded. The re
publican prospect is not quite so brigh
as we could wish, but still it is niue
brighter than at times in the past.
reconciliation of the factions is in cours
of negotiation and an effort for harmon
not so vigorous as might be desired
being made. But the republicans bes

Senator Beck, the prominent democrat

''The way view the situation for the
next presidential campaign is this: The
majority of the people of the United

that we can be trusted. We have a ma

The Free Press is entirely right in char
acterizing it as ga reproach to Vermont"
that certain criminals convicted of forge
~, robbery, or similar heinous crimes,
should escape punishment by the forfeit
ure of their bail. 1t specifies three mark
ed instances of recent occurrence. Yer
mont may be a sinner above her sister
states in this respect. We are inclined
to believe that, as whole, justice is even
more infieXible here than in other COM
inunities in decreeing the punishment of
crime but cases like the following cited
by the Free Press, bring the administra-
ton of justice into disrepute and should
be increasingly condemned by the press
and people. Solomon NJ. Field, q
wealthy citizen of Newport, charged with
passing counterfeit money, escapes by
paying bail bond of $4,000. Other
cases in our recent history might be men,
toned, but those we have named are par
ticulaPly fragrant and the circumstances of
them are widely known. In the case Of
Flelu, IL WAS well kuOWn GudG he was
man of wealth; he was taken red-handed,
as it were; and the evidence of his guilt
was absolutely conclusive Yet his bail
was fixed at the comparatively nominal
sum of three thousand dollars. 1t was
the common remark at the time that as
matter of course Field never wonld APP
pear for trial, and the fact justified the
inference. OF course he did not appear
for trial, for the bail was not of such
amount as to ensure his attendance, or as
to make it probable that he would so APP
pear. The result is that notorious Of
fender escapes justice by the payment Of
a sum which to him is almost insignifi-
can't"

What n Child's Kiss Could Do.

In a prison at New Bedford, Mass,
there now Is Ii man, whom we shall
call Jim, and who is prisoner on u
life sentence. Up to last spring he was
regarded rs desperate. dangerous man,
ready for rebellion at any nour. He
planned II general outbreak, and was
"given away" by one of the conspira.
tors. He plotted general mutiny or
rebellion, and was again betrayed. H.
then kept his own counsel, and while
never refusing to obey orders, he obeyed
them like a man who only needed
backing to make him refuse to. Que
day in June, party of strangers came
to the institution. One was an old gen.
tle;nan. the other ladies, and two of the
ladies had small children. The guide
took one Of the children on his arm,
and the other walked until the party
began climbing the stairs. Jim was
working near by, sulky and mOrose AS
ever, when the guide said to him:
"Jim, wont you help this little girl
up stairs?"
The convict hesitated, scowl on his
face, aud the little girl held out her
hands to him and said:
"IfyOu will, guess I'll kiss you"
His scowl vanished in an instant, and
he lifted the child ms tenderly rs faith
er. Half way up the stairs she kissei
him. At the head CT the stat she
said:
"Now you've got to kiss me, too"
He blushed like u woman, looked in
to her innocent face, and then kissed
he: cheek. and before he reached TIL,
foot of the stairs again the man hal
tears In his eyes. Ever since that day
he has been changed man, and no
one in the place gives less trouble.
Maybe In his far-away western home,
he has a little Katie of his own. No
one knows, for he never reveals his In
ner life; but the change so quickly
wrought by child proves that he has
u heart, and gives hope that he may
forsake his evil ways.

A Hint.

Betrothed people are apt to he absorb

to lovers TO Withdraw themselves from

for future happiness, that would hold
the old ties more nearly and dearly be-

all; which would be sedulOus to spare
the home circle any slight, any sense
Of loss beyond the inevitable. one Of

Of God, but II should he crowned with

not a tyrant who debases them. "A no.
