of taking vacations. The primary elec-
tion held Saturday was only prelimir
ary affair. In all cases where there
were more than two candidates, and
none of them has a majority, the candi-
dates must participate in another
"run-off' primary late in August, and
then the successful candidate in the
August primary will fight it out with

Once upon time, as Uncle Wiggily
was hopping past the house where Ned
die Stubtail, the boy bear lived, the
bunny gentleman saw Mrs. Stubtail,
the lady bear, standing in the doorway
of her cave house.
"Good morning, Mrs. Stubtail,'
called Uncle Wiggily, with II low and
polite bow of his tall silk hat. :" How
are you, this morning' How is Mr..
Stubtail, and how are my two little
bear friends, Neddie and Beckie.''
"Well,'i remarked Mrs. Stubtail, as
she rolled her paws in her apron, for
she had been washing the dishes and
her paws were still wet "well, every
one is all right except Neddie. -
"What S the matter with him' ~
asked Uncle Wiggiy.
"He has the toothaehe," answered
Mrs. Stubtail. 81 just now left my
dishes half washed to come to the door
to look out and see if DIR. Possum might
be coming. We had to send for him
because Neddie had so much pain from
his tooth that he cried nearly all
night.
"That S too bad" spoke Uncle Wig
gily, following Mrs. Stubtail into the
cave house, for there was, as yet, no
sign of DR.. Possum. ~ m very sorry, -
went on the rabbit gentleman, for well
he knew that a big chap like Neddie
the bear had more pain with the tooth
ache than a little chap like an ant bow.
Besides ant boys haven't any teeth,
though some of them have pincers apd
strong jaws for biting.
"Oh dear' howled Neddie, as Uncle
Wiggily and Mrs. Stubtail entered the
room. "Can somebody do something
to stop my tooth ache' Oh dear, how
it hurts!'

And Now Champagne.

The brightest flower in the boot
legger's garland has just been dis
covered blooming. 1t is synthetic
champagne, manufactured at cost
of S1.75 a quart, and said to sell as
high as $40 a quart. Synthetic gin
and colored alcohol. even limitations
of tawny Scotch, did not have the
touch of the audacious which belongs
to an artificial champagne. 1t is as
If somebody undertook literally to
distill moonshine. 1t Is like pouring
soda pop into the nectar goblets of
the gods.
This champagne is said to have the
effect, the flavor and the appearance
Of the genuine. The enforcement au-
thorities who have become aware Of
its existence report that 1t is made
ON base of either pure white apple
cider or pure white grape wine. The
cider is carbonated to give 1t sparkle
and supplied with motive power by
the addition OF grain alcohol. Imita-
tions OF the French labels and bottle
caps are used.
1t Is another triumph for the label.
Others besides the bootlegger know
the labels potency. Put foreign
label on suit of clothes or a top
coat and the suit or the coat is glori-
fed in some eyes.
Fake champagne at $40 quart! A
larger figure than the weekly income
Of most New York families; enough
to have bought man a glass of beer

America Grows Up.

Now when the colleges are begin
ming another academic year and again
when they hold their commencements
come reminders that American civili-
zation is not so young, so lacking in
background. as some would have us
believe. In thirteen years Harvard
will be three centuries old. Yale all
ready carries on into her 222d year.
Columbia has seen 16S academic sea-
sons come and go.
There are no fewer than twenty-six
colleges and universities in the United
States whose doors were first opened
during the eighteenth century. Some
of these, IL is true, are small institu-
tions whose effect upon the currents
Of American life has been negligible.
They have taken on no increase in
stature since their foundation, nearly
two centuries ago, and their student
bodies i'm some cases number as few
as a hundred.
But there are other distinguished
institutions OF learning besides Har-
ward and Yale and Columbia which
will soon be counting their age in
centuries. There are the University
of Pennsylvania, founded in 1910:
Princeton, 1916; Brown, 1864: Dart
mouth. 1859. While WASHINGTON was
still President there was Bowdoin, as
far north as Brunswick, Maine; there

STATE FACTORY WAGES
UP 80 CENTS IN AUGUST
Largest Gain Was in RailUay
Repair Shops.

ALBANY, Sept. 2S. - The average
weekly earnings of factory workers in
New York State were $3.50 in August
gain of 33 cents, compared with July.
This Is an increase of IS cents since the
lowest average earnings. in April, 1922,
and is $3.S3 less than average earnings
at their high point in October. 1870.
This statement was issued to-day by
the Industrial Commissioner, Henry d.
Sayer, and Is based on the monthly re-
ports received from representative man
ufacturers by the State Department OF
Labor.
The largest gain in August was due
to the increased earnings in the rail-
way repair shops, where strike condi-
tions curtailed earnings In July, but re-
suited in very high earnings in August.
Most Of the metal trades, the stone
products industries and the wood manu-
featuring industries reported gains.
There was also a seasonal gain in the
clothing industries and seasonal re-
duction in the food products industries.
In the textile industries earnings av-
e.aged somewhat lower as u result of
vacations. In the paper goods indus
tries and the chemical and oil products
industries average earnings were slightly
reduced. Few changes in wage rates
were reported. but tho increases were
much more numerous than the de-
creases.

The Parcel Post Rate Lesson.

Parcel post rates are going up sufii-
ciently to put 60,000.000 year more
into the Governments income, which
is now $3.50. 100000 to 100000, 900
below the Governments outgo. The
parcel post rates ought to go up when
the loss in that service accounts for
nearly tenth of the estimated total
deficit. The rates ought to go up
under the circumstances, although
there is no tax or charge that hits
the general public more frequently
and completely than the parcel post
rate.
This $60,000,000 year more on the
parcel postage bill of the American
people will mean an average of about
60 cents year to every man, woman
and child in the country. This is an
average to every family in the coun-
try OF about So year, or 25 cents
month.
If 25 cents more a month for par
eel postage looks trifiing, think what
ii means to raise more than ten times
sixty millions merely to take care of
the Treasury deficit. Then give a
thought to what it would mean to
Iaise on top of that enough to take
care of a bonus distribution of five
billions of dollars
Since $60,000,000 a year is not a
drop in the bucket compared with
what it would have cost to pay the
bonus which President HARDING could
not approve when there was not a
cent in the national Treasury to pay
it, and when it could have been paid
cnly with Treasury borrowings or
with enormously increased taxation
bearing heavily on everybody in the
country, one gets an idea of what the
Governments financial problems are
and OF the responsibilities Of the
Harding Administration in solving
them.
And the more the American people
come to understand the vast burden
the bonus would have put upon them
with increased taxes, direct and in
direct, with increased Government
charges for mail service and in
creased prices charged by the man
who had to pay more taxes on any
thing he sold or rented or otherwise
did as a service sold to the public
the more the American people con-
slider all this the more they will be
grateful to President HARDING for his
wisdom and courage in protecting
them from an additional burden the
magnitude of which they could not
have borne.

Murphy Runs to Form.

At Syracuse Mr.. MURPHY is run
ming true to form. His methods, un-
changed in the twenty years of his
ownership of Tammany Hall. do not
dcviate now from the old standard.
Even the possession of power over
the State organization as well as the
city machine has not led him to at
tempt to substitute leadership for
craft. This perhaps is fortunate for
himself, but 1t has not helped the
Democratic party.
Part of Mr.. MuRPHY's system in
politics is pose and part is general
ship BY imiteting the Sphinx he
gains a reputation for wisdom and
likewise avoids coming ont and cast
ing his lot with somebody or some
thing that may be beaten. He pro-
oeeds on the great negative theory
that no man loses anything by keep
ing his mouth shut. He gets some
practical results from this silence.
In a case where there is friction
between two elements In the organi-
zation, as there is now in the State
convention. MURPHY let's them grind
each other until one--or both--is
worn out. If. for instance, the Hearst
men can wear down the Smith men
MURPHY accepts HEARST and smiles
gladly in the direction OF Mr.. HEARsT's
friend Mayor HYLAN, who throws
Boss MURPHY many patronage bone.
II SMITH demolishes the Hearst boom
then MURPHY remarks to HyrAS that.
after all, conventions must control
the nominations.
1t is true, OF course, that MURPHY
could have nominated either SMITH
or HEARST yesterday. But to declare
quickly and openly for SMITH would
mean the alienation OF the Mayor
and summarily to dictate HEARsT's IS
nomination would mean more vio-
lent row in Tammany Hall than may
come II HEARST Is named after q pre-
tense Of affection for SMITH. No

Tammany or out OF it, is going to

The Republican State Ticket.

The Republican State Convention
did its work quickly and we'll. 1t
nominated NATHAN l.. MILLER and
with him a ticket that is in full SYM
pathy with him. That was all the
Governor asked; that was what the
Republicans of the State intended he
should have.
There was never a question Of
the conventions choosing Governor
MILLER to lead the fight. With all the
good human material that the Re-
publican party has in this State
MILLER was head and shoulders above
every other available man. His record
for economy, for courage, for keen
understanding of the people of this
State and their problems was known
to all.
While the heaviest work of the
campaign viii fall to Governor MIL
IER, the convention gave him good
aide in the person of Colonel WILL
LAM J. DONOVAN, the nominee for
Lieutenant-G Governor. He, like MIL
LER, is a fighter. He. like MILLER,
ia known from one end of the State
to the other. The man who led the
165th Infantry in France is as fa-
miliar to Broadway, New York, as he
is. to Main street, Buffalo, his home
town.
MILLER and DoSovAN-no voter will
have to ask who they are or what
they stand for!
