Voice Is Weak
Few Attend Public Hearings Call
ed to Decide Important Ques-
tions in Dawson.

The voice of the people. When
and where is it heard?
Open meetings for the public"
are frequently called in the city, but
a bakers dozen is counted crowd
at these gatherings.
Only small handful of people APP
pear at these meetings, despite APP
peals. When some matter of public
interest needs attention and it is
wished to hear the voice of the peo-
pie it is usually hoarse, has cold and
cannot speak above a whisper.
What is the reason? Too busy with
their own private affairs is one an
swer. Prejudice and animoslty
against some citizen who is taking a
lead in the matter is another.
1t is also noticeable that the So
called public meetings usually draw
the same ''stock audiences. A
few citizens who are interested in
the city's welfare can usually be
counted upon, with slight fringe OF
hangers-on who seemingly have moth
ing to do.
The officials of the Chamber OF
Commerce frequetly express regret
that the business and professional
man seemingly lacks interest in pub
lie affairs, and that but corporafs
guard can be called out on an I'M
portant public matter.

entirely unrelated to any act OF the
accused, that bit of evidence was sui
ficent TO shake ever so little the be-
lief that Pettibone was guilty of the
crime of killing his wife, and, al
though the case of the state still
doomed large, that little doubt be-
came more and more powerful as the
debate on the case grew and as the
iurymen realized they were deciding
life or death for fellow man until,
finally. the element of doubt sub
tracted from the strong case OF the
prosecution left verdict of guilty of
course of this
murder in the second degree, The
course of this trial, as well as OF 9TH
ers heard in Vermont courts indicates
that it is hard matter to secure a
conviction of murder in the first de
gree, with the death penalty attached.

CURRENT COMMENT
Mrs. Coolidge, a New England House
keeper.

A figure deserving all the attention
she received in yesterdays ceremonies
at Northampton was Mrs. Coolidge. 1t
is part of political life that the pub
lie eve should be turned on the homes
of officials and of candidates; the Cool
idge home is one which the American
people may at this time observe with
interest, profit and satisfaction. From
the home of no other candidate on the
two tickets could the halt to extrava-
gance and the call to simple, unosten-
tations living which was part OF Gov.
Coolidge's address, have come with
such force of sincerity and example.
Hardly had the applause at Gov.
Coolidge's nomination subsidized in the
Chicago convention when it was pre-
dcted with friendly humor among the
Massachusetts delegation that the gov
ernors home, measured by the 1872
monthly rental, would become one OF
the effective items of the campaign.
But the suggestion was made that I'M
lses Congress should increase the wee
presidential salary the governor would
fine it difficult to get along in Wash
ington in view of the different scale
of living and the social obligations OF
his presumptive office. To this the an
swer came from an intimate of the gov
ernor's: "Well, perhaps that's true.
But. there's Mrs. Coolidge! And she
is a wonderful housekeeper' So,
whether or not the governor himself is
overrated as a mower of lawns or
maker of doughnuts, the members OF
the notification committee had yester-
day chance at luncheon in the Cool.
idge home to enjoy the hospitality OF
a housewife of whom New England is
proud,-Springfeld Republican.

THE PETTIBoNE CASE.

In the presentation of evidence in

ing uxoricide because of infatuation
for another woman, the prosecution
presented a remarkably strong case
and one in which there were, seeming
~, few holes, the chain Of evidence in
GLIDING what purported to be the con
fession of the accused that he placed
strychnine sulphste in a dose Of salts
which his wife drank. Taken by itself
The case Of the prosecution seemed
absolutely convincing. Nevertheless.

The decision of William G.. McAdoo
to go on the stump and work otherwise
TO assist the candidacy of Gov. Cox for
president undoubtedly meets the un-
qualified approval of the managers of
the Democratic campaign, as hereto
fore McAdoo has maintained a certain
aloofness following the convention in
which McAdoo was one of those
strongly supported for the presidential
nomination. While there was, per.
haps, no indication that McAdoo was
disgruntled over the result of the con-
vention's vote there was some fear
that he might not lend his influence
in behalf of the nominee. That inhu-
ence was desired very much by the
Democratic managers as it was known
that McAdoo maintained much pres:
tige in the country as a whole as a
result of his work as secretary of the
treasury during the war period. II
was felt that McAdoo could give ma
terial assistance to Cox. Hence Nc
Adoo's decision, Just announced, to 60
on the stump and speak in behalf of
the Democratic ticket was welcomed
joyously by those who have in charge
the conduct of the Cox campaign.
