If recent precedent is to govern, it
would appear that Newberry should be
excluded from the Senate by an almost
unanimous vote, but, as the lawyers
say, his case is not exactly on all'fours
with that of Berger. The position of
the oratorical gentleman from Wiscon-
sin was weak because he never consti,
tuted a majority of the House and he
never was able by his vote to give or
to deprive any party of a majority.
Counting only one in minority, out
he went.
While in law and in morals New
berry's status may be the same, po-
litically he is impregnable If his elec-
tion had not been bought the Republi-
cans could not have reorganized the

Mr.. Hooven's Candidacy.

The Lowell Courier Citizen, OF
which Philip s. Marden is the talented
editor, unwavering in Repubicanism
and conservatism. declares in recent
editorial that 40 out of every 100
voters in the United States at this
moment, regardless of their usual party
leanings, seriously want to vote for
Mr.. Hoover for president and for no
one else whomsoeyer. The Courier
Citizen declares that il bases this OBJ.
.servation on what 1t hears.
While this is a strong statement,
perhaps an extreme one, it is not un.
representative of what people are say
ing in and out of newspapers. Hoover
is the one American emerging from the
great war who has impressed the pub
lie Imagination We do not say this is
sufficient qualification for the pres
idency, or that he has in other respects
the necessary training. To take him
would be like drawing a number in a
lottery, even though all the evidence
from friends and working associates is
entirely to his credit.
We believe that Hoover benefits from
his lack of oratorical power The
country has been fed up" with dis
tinct reaction. We are not sure that
Mr. Hoover is not stronger because he
is business man who cannot make
speech, but whose public papers, like
his announcement yesterday morning,
are of extraordinary clarity and force

Coaling New England.

Time and again during the winter OF
10000 the cry of coal shortage has
been heard in New England. 1t is not
a pleasant cry. Nearly every branch
of modern life and activity is depend
ent on coal, and any threatened de
ficiency off this basic commodity in
stantly threatens a deficiency of all
other commodities. Even SO, had the
dangers of coal shortage presented
themselves to New England during re-
cent months alone. they could perhaps
be but lightly regarded. They might
be set down simply as incident to a
very unusual winter season, marked by
uncommonly bad weather conditions.
and therefore, not worthy of lasting
concern. Unfortunately, however, as
all will remember. this is far from be-
ing the truth of the case. The occur
renee of coal shortages in one and an
other region of the United States is no
new phenomenon. The country began
To scratch for coal as long ago as 1916,
and it has been scratching, more or
less, ever since. In the first war year,

lowing year, from 1918 to 1919, when
the winter was mild. il is true that

tant truth. however, is that they did
not look very far up. BY no means
did they rise high enough to conceal
the fact, apart from any and all condi-

duction depends first Of all on ability
TO maintain distribution. Such great
bulk does this commodity have that it
can be mined only about as fast as it
can be carried away. Although some
operators have made extensive provis-
ion for storage, even for them the
problem, as it presents itself at the
mine mouth, is too vast to permit real
solution. In general, and very forcibly,
the statement holds good that coal can
be produced only as the railroads can
supply cars TO transport it. A matter
of vital Importance, therefore, to all
coal consumers is to aid prompt trans
portation. No single phase of the task
OF distributing freight should be long
err conducted in haphazard fashion, in
ways which make wasteful use of
equipment, in ways Of any kind which
are less than the best and most mod
ern.
Especially is this true in regard to
coal Individual manufacturers and
other large consumers should undertake
the promptest possible unloading and
return of coal cars received on their
premises, as James j. Storrow con

Will the Republicans Consider Mr..
Hoover?

Have you seen any test of sentiment
among the people at large, on the presl
Dental nomination which did not point
towards Mr.. Hoover? We think you
have rarely. The town in New Hamp-
shire which, on deferred primary day
passed resolutions declaring for his
nomination by both parties, was not
| far out of the running. Brown uniyer-
sity gave him on straw ballot nearly
as many. votes as all other candidates
combined These are straws, and only
straws, but they are significantly plen-
| tiful
If the Republicans should nominate
Hoover. they would have made and
won their campaign. With the support
of the independent voters of all groups,
with his appeal to the idealistie ele
ment everywhere, and with the Repub
leans who, as party men, support the
ticket anyhow, his success would be
overwhelming. He would carry every
ballot counting state. The women
would like to vote for him. 1t would
be all over but the shouting as soon as
his name went out from Chicago.
If the Republicans do not nominate
Hoover, they may have a real battle on
their hands; and particularly would
this be the case if the Democrats by
any chance should pick him up. Poll
tics are mighty onsartin'; nobody
knows what would happen with any of
the regular candidates now under con
sheraton, none Of whom makes a con
spicuouslv large popular appeal. The
one far in the lead to-day is Gen
Wood But the Mississippi valley does
not like military training or the mill

own divesting of military parapher-
malta. He is at his best now, and in
this section. His campaign is most eff
fectively organized. 1t is spending money
at rate which would make Newberry
look like piker. 1t may not look so
well in October.

themselves all the trouble and worry

The Poetry of the Road.

The other day we read a poem on the
joys of riding in Pullman car. And
IL wasn't so bad The passing land.
seape, the stars in their wild pursuit
across the night sky, the ring for the
porter when the train stopped in silent
fields, the stentorous snore from the
travelling man in upper ten, all were
recited in tripping rhythm and jolly
rhyme. Even the man who occupied
the entire smoking compartment while
engaged in the swaying ceremony of
his morning shave and splashing sblu-
lions received his prosodieal need from
the poet.
But why should not the Pullman and
modern travel in general receive more
attention from the muse Why should
we concentrate our attention on the
cinder in our eye, on the dust that set
ties layer upon layer on the smelly
plush of the seats, on the alpine diff.
culties of climbing into an upper, on
the fresh drummer or the verdant
youth ostentatiously on his first trip
without parental care? The truth
probably is that we of this generation
are SO busy getting there that we have
little fun going there. In the old days,
when men were cramped in stage
coaches, they seemed to derive far
more fun from travel There is more
humor in few pages of Charles Lamb
or Dickens on travel by coach than
there is in the whole literature of the
Pullman. The difficulties furnished
and the intimate contact
with fellow creatures was provocative
both Of sentiment and of humor.
They did it more leisurely then.
Travel itself seemed the thing. Destina-
tion was but an incident. People were
enjoying life. They were not merely
getting there" - Cincinnati Times
