Senator Hale of Maine has been renomfnated. He was accused of a. variety of things, among which was the damning charge that he is a bachelor. He beat his opponents two to one, from which it must not be inferred that the women voters have decided that the bachelor is to be commended An election is decided upon a single issue. as a rule, but up- on a complex. a large bundle of facts in which the chief fact often is that the candidate is in and not out
 The election will come along in due season, and we shall see if any votes will be cast against bachelors. There is one thing yet to try. Some bache- Tor might offer himself to the hand son1est woman in the county which gives him the most votes Our own Brandegee fell behind in the woman vote. two years ago, but not because he is a bachelor.
 It is easy to talk, but not easy to talk intelligently. A man usually is not talking intelligently when the facts of life dispute strongly what he says Occasionally somebody comes along with new fact, like the telephone. and the rule doesn't apply.
 James M. Beck. well known lawyer, says that the American people have limited their freedom to declare war, because the great nations have each sent many immigrants. Perfectly inaccurate The first war was with the mother country. It was made by the people against the very peopIes from whom most of them were de scended The war of 1872 was in the same category. The Civil War was the people fighting each other. The great war was opposed by the two most powerful immigrant groups. MT Beck's idea does not measure against the teaching of history. He has forgotten that Cain slew Abel.
 
 These things might stop war. A nearly universal mind that it is a savage pursuit; a belief that it is unnecessary; a means for settling disputes without war; The League of Nations. the International Court, the Four Power Treaty, the program for disarmament may inhibit war. Race, blood nor religion never did.
  The election in Ireland goes heavily for the Irish Free State. Slowly the balance inclines upon the side of peace and prosperity. Conditions are slowly progressing to that goal which was predicted by this writer, after he had visited the scene, and talked with many of the actors in the con test. The Irish people are over whelmingIy in favor of accepting the Dominion form of government. They want a period of peace, work and prosperity in which to recuperate their fortunes and their happiness.
 Autom obiIists regulate their lights so that the beam will be somewhat diffused. They want light, not too much concentrated. Marconi trying to drive Radio communication more certainly to destination, employs re Hector which concentrates the beams of radiation. and makes them stronger when they reach the receiving in- strurnent He. expects to make airless conversation between cities certain and continuous, because the reflected signals are so much stronger than the diffused signals. The future has even greater wonders in store. The longest days are coming. They will be the hottest days. Life ought to be adjusted to the conditions. More work in the cool of the day. less in the middle. More at the end. En tire suspension on excessively hot days Daylight saving is a step in inc direction of superior use.
