PLAT-rsBURG. Oct. 5.--Gov. Smith
started his upstate campaign here to-
night and in speech to Plattsburg's
Democrats outlined his ideas of what
should be done to develop to its highest
efficiency the natural water power of the
State. He analysed the need for good
roads. and said that he had divorced poll
ties from the Department of Public High
ways by installing Major Frederick
stuart Greene as Commissioner He told
also what he had done and tried TO do e.
better the New York school system.
The other speaker at the meeting was
Miss Harriet May Mills. The chairman
was former Lieutenant Governor Con-
way.
The Governor defended public devel-
opment and control of natural water
power and said that his ideas on the
subject are In conflict with those OF
Judge Miller. the Republican nominee.
He then gave the history of water
power development as far as it has
gone, recounting the work done by pri-
waite interests, and declaring that un-
less the State had stepped in with the
authority Of the Burton act behind it
the scenic beauty of Niagara Falls
would have been ruined.
after years of careful study of the
water power problem" said the Gov
ernor. II am prepared to say what the
policy of the State should be.
II take my stand with Gov. Hughes,
who was responsible for the act that de-
clared for the policy of State develop
ment, State ownership and State con-
troll I see that Judge Miller brings into
the controversy his old friend ooopera-
ton. There is no cooperation required
for the development of the water powers
that unquestionably belong to the people
of this State"
Gov Smith then said that the CO.
operation lacking IN, the past has been

between the executive and the Legis-
lature. He referred TO the water power
development bill passed In the Repub-
lower house.
Concerning highway administration
as it has been handled during his adj
ministration the Governor had this to
say
1.-THE fact is that the Democrats
throughout the State are pointing with
pride to the achievements of Demo-
cratic Governor in giving to the people
for the first time a real. thoroughgoing
practically organized highway depart
ment"

Collier was an ardent follower of Theo-

1.-THE constant appeals of Gov. Cox
for the support of the former Progress
sive vote prompts me to write to you
that as one of the followers of Theodore
Roosevelt in that movement / have con-
sidered It duty as well as a pleasure

Germany and Austria.

A special dispatch from Vienna tells
Of an increasing propaganda conducted
by Germany to induce Austria to join
a union of Germanic states. 1t is re-
lated that recently one Austrian law
yer handled 4O,0O0,000 marks. which
would normally be equivalent to $l0,
100000, for this purpose. One tan
gible result of this expenditure was
demonstration by students and alum
nj societies shouting for such a union
This is a character lstic German per-
formance. The purchase of Austrian
patriotism is probably regarded as
perfectly legitimate. German propa-
ganda has always been conducted on
commercial basis. In the case of Aus
tria the object is not. however, so diff
cult of attainment that it should re-
quire very large expenditure, unless
there is a graft along the way from
the Berlin source of funds to the Aus
trian objective. The present state and
the prospect of Austria are gloomy
enough, indeed, to cause the remnant
of the former empire to be willing to
60 to any haven. Real money prob
ably looks very good in Austria, what
ever may be the depreciation of the
mark. Real food is scarce, real cloth
ing is hard to get. it is not remark
able that students can be found for
few pfennigs to shout for union, when
through union may come some amelio-
ration of an undeniably sad state, for
which there is no prospect of ameliora-
tion.

The McAdoo Boom.

The McAdoo boom is referred to as
"shadowy" Is that an appropriate de-
scriptioni Is there any boom palmer
to the naked eyei Can it not be seen
in and from any state in the Union
It is unique. but. not shadowy.
Mr.. McAdoo's name became asso-
ciated with the presidency Immediate
" upon his retirement from the Treas
ury Department.. Indeed, in some
quarters his retirement was inter
preted as the first move on his part
toward securing the democratic presi-
Dental nomination. He was freeing
himself of all official cares and ex-
actions in order to devote his whole
time to his presidential aspirations.
But those who took this view Of the
matter observed that Mr.. MeAdoo was
not proceeding in the convential way.
He did not announce for the nomina-
tion. and when interrogated on the
SUDJcSL WOulu SO AO 4uI tACI IMAM "
say that if the nomination should be
offered he would accept-an entirely
superfuous declaration.
Nevertheless, discussion of Mr.. Nc
Adoo's strength and availability grew.
and was persistent. 1t was heard in
both political and business circles, and
wherever indulged in showed men of
prominence and substance behind it.
Today, within a month of nomina-
tion time, Mr.. McAdoo is placed in
popular belief first on the list of those
mentioned in connection with the San
Francisco prize. No delegates are in
structed for him, for the reason that
he has refused the use Of his name.
But; somehow, the opinion has OBJ
tanned circulation that Mr.. McAdoo is
distinctly in the running and that
when the convention opens he will
show strength enough to give him an
excellent start in the balloting.
There is McAdoo boom, though not
of the garden variety.

A Sportiug Fieht.

A truly sporting venture has just
been started by q British airman.
Lieut.. Hink1ey, who won honors in the
air during the war, has set off on a
lone fight from London to Australia
in SMALL machine, with thirty-fve-
horsepower engine. His fuel tanks
will provide for from 600 to 700 miles
Of continuous fight. This will call
for a carefully plotted course, as fuel
stations are not to be readily found
in the eastern lands. So far as is
known Lieut.. Hinkley sets no time es-
innate upon his fight. He simply
starts out with definite objective and
is trying to make it by air. Truly,
the adventures of the air are equal
to. those OF the earlier explorers who
went into wild and strange lands seek
ing routes and riches. They may be-
come the favorite sport of men of
means with taste for risky enter
prise.

titled to the maximum of the cash
bonus and, in case this bill becomes
law, demand it in preference to other
forms of aid, and the remainder are
entitled to $500, the total Of this
money benefit may be S2,250, ,000, 900.
1t is impossible to estimate the full
amount with any degree of precision.
If it is put at the lowest conservative
figure that has been advanced, ST ,5Oo,-
100000, the tax burden on the people
will be enormous
The inequity of this proposed leg
islation has been sharply and repeat
edly pointed out in the course of the
weeks in which the House has been
maneuvering to bring in the measure.
1t is needless now to urge more than
that the bill itself, originally asked
by numbers of former service men who
did not count the cost and did not
realize the unfairness and the danger
of this sort of legislation. is now de-
nounced by them. Whereas few
weeks ago a sentiment favorable to the
bonus prevailed in the ranks of the
veterans organizations, now that sen
timent has changed and the strongest
opposition to any form of bonus leg
islation comes from the representa-
tives of the great army that carried
the American colors to victory without
thought of reward. The Senate is ex-
peeted to recognize this opposition and
also that Of the mass Of the people
who must pay the bill invol7ed, in
whatever form the cost is provided,
and who are unable at present to stand
any additional taxation, for whatever

Cummings Receives Instructions.

The Presidents friends and his op-
ponents have formal notice now that
he is very much interested in the
campaign. Chairman Cummings of
the democratic national committee
spent two hours at the White House
yesterday, and later returned for lunch.
He leaves today for San Francisco, to
plunge into the preliminary work of
the convention.
Mr.. Cummings will be the key
noter. His selection was Wilson win
ning-a sort of first blood for the
Presidents side. He is q strong and
aggressive Wilsonite. His full infu
ence, both as keynoter and chairman
Of the national committee, will. be
thrown at San Francisco for the Presi-
dents program.
During his call yesterday Mr.. Cum
mings received an Endorsement of his
keynote speech, and heard discussion
of the situation in general. In two
hours it was possible to cover a good
deal Of ground, and presumably good
deal Of ground was covered. The
President is reported as in good
humor, and must have been in fair
physical shape to participate in so
lengthy conference.
Mr.. Bryan and his friends in the
convention, therefore, will be able to
determine from the keynote speech
Just where they are-in what things
and how far they differ with the Presi.
dent as to policies and campaign pro-
nouneements. Mr.. Cummings will be
speaking by the card, and fresh from
headquarters, and in possession .of
more inside information than any
other democrat in the country can
boast Of
Some eighteen months ago Mr.. Cum
mings was outspokenIy for a third
term" Since then, however, many
things have changed. Has Mr.. Cum
minss changed with themi II would
be unreasonable to expect an answer
before convention time. but at that
time, and maybe early in the conven-
tion proceedings, it ought to be pos
sible 10 get line on this matter.

The Bonus Bill.

After emphatic declarations of oppo-
sition, members of the House on Satur-
day followed the lines Of supposed party
expedieney and voted for the soldiers
bonus bill, giving it heavy majority.
The vote in the House was more than
three. to one, whereas from the state
ments OF republican opponents of the
measure before the adoption of the
special rule it had been indicated that
the bill could not command enough
votes to pass. The action was, there
fore, q surprise, and, it is not to be de-
MED, shock.
Now the bill goes to the Senate for
concurrence. A belief prevails that it
will not pass that body. Certainly it
cannot pass there before the recess or
adJournment,. whichever may be the
course taken in closing the sessional |
work before the conventions. Even if
a favorable report were ordered at
once from committee the Senate's rules
would permit debate so protracted as
to prevent action before the fall of
the gavel. For this assurance the coun-
try must again be grateful, as on GER
tain former occasions, for the fiexi-
bility Of discussion in the upper house.
This bill proposes to grant to mem
hers of the military or naval forces of
the United States serving at home or
abroad between AprAs i5,, lel7, land No
vember Il, 1918, the choice ef;fse forms
of aid, .s follows: Adjusted service pay,
adjusted service certificate, vocational
training aid, farm or home aid and
land settlement aid. The proponents
of the bonus are chiefly interested in
the first named form of aid, a cash
payment on scale Of 81 a day for
home service and $l.25 for overseas
service, the former up to maximum
Of $500 and the latter up to $625.

The School Organization Problem.

1t has been the understanding up to
now that the Senate select committee
on District school affairs would seek
to have its recommendation for or
ganic changes in the school admins
tration enacted into law at this ses-
sion of Congress so as if possible to
start the. new school year, through ap-
pointments made to the school board
during recess, with a new organiza-
tion. Time is short, however, and
some doubt has been expressed as to
this possibility. The House has made
no survey of the school situation, and
if it acts at all it must do so on the
strength of the Senate committees in
vestigation and report. It is possible
to add the school reorganization leg
islation to one of the surely passing
bills, such, for instance, as the general
deficiency act. There would then, how
ever, be no time for the President to
nominate and the Senate to confirm,
new school board before adjourn
ment. If recess appointments were
made subject to confirmation the ap-
pointees could assume Office and lro-
ceed with the school administration.
If, however, no legislation is had and
the whole matter is postponed until
autumn or winter the existing organi-
zation will stand, with three members
of the school board retiring or reap
pointed by the court on the 1st Of
July. This would leave the present
