PERSONAL VICTORIES.

Comment on the nomination of Gif- ford Pinchot in the Pennsylvania re- publican primaries, for the governor ship of that state. has brought unanimity of opinion in one particu- lar-it was defeat of the machine, of course. Some people have beer looking honestly for the significance, politically, of the personal victories" recently noted. .M....
 In Indiana the nomination of Rev. eridge over New was a similar defeat of the machine. Locally the nomina- tion of Quigley over Curtis, if not q defeat of the machine, was evidence of its comparative weakness. Certain ly the election of Mayor Paonessa was further evidence of the failing power of the republican machine here.
 It is not necessary to go as far as some partisan papers and assert Lhat the nomination of Pinchot was a pro- test against the manner in which af- fairs are being conducted at Wash ington, although there is ground for this argument. It is not necessary to urge that Mayor Paonessa was elect ed here because the voters did not like President Harding's way of doing things. ".
 But few will fail to see in these personal victories" further devel- opment of independence of the cleo torate and a breaking away from sub serviency to organizations. What conclusion follows? The natural answer seems to be that there is q tendency to leave the party which is and which has been always the party of organization, the party constricted by conservatism, boasting of it's "old guard" the party under which pros perity has come to the country, but the party which is losing it's hold be- cause of rebellion against machine politics Grand Old Party"

sACRILEGIous yoLIvA

Wilbur Clam Noliva, Supreme Die tator of Zion City, would be shocked to know that he has been most sac rilegious in his assertion that heaven used to be underneath the earth, as hell Is now, according to his asser- tions, but that il was moved away and carried above the earth.
 Voiva bound by tradition, cannot get it out of his large e-dimensonod head, that his lake Of fire which he describes with such intimate minute ness, must be down there somewhere. He cannot think of the spirit of an evil man rising. it must descend and, of course, it must be clothed in the sort of flesh WI know about or the burning lake would not cause the anguish necessary for the good of the sinful soul.
 Granted that Nolivas lake of fire, in which the devil will perish event ually, is located somewhere under meath Noliva's flat earth. It is not possible to grant that heaven was ever located near it and that it was moved because hell was so close. To conceive of this possibility it would be necessary to grant that the proprietor of hell was more powerful than the Spirit of heaven-that heaven, not hell was forced to move. This Voliva's most ardent followers should not grant. ..
 II is submitted in all seriousness that discussions of such matters by men whose intellects are of the type of Noliva's are to be condemned as thoroughly as similar attempts to ex- pound divine truths by illiterate and ignorant persons.

RADIO TO THE RESCUE.

Most of us have dreamed that we were lost in the darkness, reaching out in every direction, not knowing which way to turn. The nightmare is terrible. Some have found themselves, awake but unable to see, groping in the darkness searching for d path to familiar place.
 Unpleasant as are such experiences they give but an indication of the ter TOT that must come to those aboard a ship, lost but within easy reach of safety if the hidden dangers may be escaped. Such has been the exper- fence of ships on Lake Superior. The master of many vessel has cried out silently for knowledge of just where his ship, upon the deck of which he stood, was heading. This knowledge would mean safety. For the lack of it many ship has gone down
 Today mere boys are setting up paraphernalia which, in more power- full shape, will give that information. The first naval radio compass station on the Lakes opened at White Fish Point May 14. Passing ships, lost in the fog banks may call the station and ask the position in which they are travelling. Other stations will be opened. Over the desoate water will go news that will save ships. lives information that will be like a great light in place terrible because of unseen dangers.
 The thought is wonderful in the hope it brings Never has the tritc saying, "A word to the wise is sui f1cient," been better illustrated, or the great truth Knowledge is power" Thinking people bow in respect for the achievement of science.

tn egame are interpreted by the dif- forent entrants,
 When Secretary of States Hughes referred to the Russian rote of May importance Yesterday Lloyd George told the Russians plainly that if they that as expressed in the memorandum of May II the Genoa conference would fail, as far us they were con cerned. A paragraph Of what he Is quoted as saying sums the matter up.
 When you are writing letter ask ing for more credits were his words. let me give one word of advice to anybody who does it--let him not in that letter enter into an eloquent eX- position of the doctrine of repudiation of debts. It may be sound. but it is not diplomatic"
 The abandonment of this princi- pie by Russia and the adoption of the principles or sound business upon which business Is based by the peoples of the world, is the basis for trade" to which Secretary of State Hughes has so often referred, without which there can be no official recognition of Russia and no trade relations.
 Perhaps 1t may be, predicted that, by June l5, when the nations meet at The Hague, Russia, which sees the point now, will be ready to make necessity virtue and be forced into action that will give her a chance to prosper.

TRADITION,

It has beef suggested in these col umns that the day will come when even the law will be less strictly bound by precedent. Precedent, and the desire not to infringe upon states rights, compelled the declaring of the Child Labor law unconstitutional The decision was good law as law stands today. Moreover it would be no more legally proper to say that the law should have been upheld because it protected children, even though it did it by means of an illegal action, than it is proper to say a murderer should not be condemned because the man he killed ought to have been killed anyway.
 But discussing the decision the gen. eral secretary of the National Child Labor committee raised sound point, looking to the future, when in re- ferring to tradition" he said: Chief Justice Taft says ours (traditions) have preserved us for 150 years. The political traditions of Babylon we are told, preserved it fer nearly 2,G00 years and the political traditions of Egypt for a longer period. By com parison our own institutions are in !, their Infancy and it might not be amiss for American statesmen to dis cover some way of avoiding the errors by which the earlier governmental ex- periments have failed"
 Tradition is struggling hard to re- tain it's supremacy. It holds many of our statesmen. It holds politicians who rely upon organizations of the past because they have been success full. Men who believe that because a certain plan has worked well in the past it will work we'll always and that nothing better may be found, still walk the streets in self satisfac- ton. Those who cry out Tt was good enough for our fathers, it is good enough TOT us, are Stlll at large and boasting of their proud titles of leading citizens"
 Many of them need education Is much if not more than the illterate, for they are in positions where their narrow, blind words have weight
 The decision regarding the child labor law was proper-it was good law" But the day is coming when ? it will be held, as it has been held in . few isolated cases in the books" that good law is bad law in a cer- tain particular instance. Then tra- dition will give its death gasp.
 In the meantime it would be we'll for those in position to influence legislation in proper manner to aid in bringing enlightenment to the legis- lAtors of the cruelty selfish states which are careless in their protection of children. And Tn this blacklist, | which does not include Connecticut,

LABOR DISPUTES COSTLY
Estimates Place Upwards of $500, 900
 Working Days Were Lost Duo to , Trouble in Great Britain.

Working Days Were Lost Due '" Trouble in Great Britain.
 London, May 2o.-It Is estimated that $500, 900 working days were lost in Great Britain in March owing to la bor disputes involving 2so,oo0 work CTS. The principal disputes being in the engineering and shipbuilding in- dustries.
 Unemployment in March, though still bad, showed further slight im- provement despite the adverse effect of the engineering dispute, says the Labor Gazette, which publishes the estimate above. y,
 Among industries showing improve ment were iron. mining. pig iron man. ufacture. the building trades, the cot ton and wool textile industries and the clothing trades.
 Changes in rates of wages report ed as having taken effect in March resulted in a reduction of over f223,- GOO in the weekly fulltime wages of about 1,350,0oo workers and an in- crease of $500 weekly in the wages of about 10000 others.
 Coal miners in Northumberland, Yorkshire, North Staffordshire, North Wales and Scotland sustained reduc- tons varying from under two per cent to over eight per cent, the paper states. g-'
