Governor MiIler's Victory

Ala ZIG uepdeS DeLWGSU dOyCEHOr
Miller and Mr.. Smith defeat for Mr..
Smith was inescapable, and it has
clearly come. 1t has come not be-
cause Governor Miller is the more
eloquent. Quite to the contrary, Mr..
Smith is the experienced debater, q
far more ingratiating speaker in
every way. Crowds have focked to
hear him as they have fiocked to
hear other attractive speakers-be-
fore Mr.. Bryan's day and since. He
has had every aioe on his side-ex-
cept the facts.
Governor Miller has fought him
With that pitiiess efficiency with
which he has fought corruption and
waste in the states affairs. He has
fought him slowly, carefully, stead
lily, with facts and figures, with
out attempt at eloquence, without
humoring his audiences. He proved
the waste under Mr.. Smiths regime,
The savings under his own. He
showed the efficiency gained, the
great projects carried forward and
the taxes lowered. He went into ST..
Lawrence County and told the
voters why the st. Lawrence canal
was unsound and uneconomic. He
went into Buffalo and told labor
why it could not use violence in
strikes so long as he was Governor.
One by one he has taken up the
issues. Upon one after another Mr..
Smith has argued and pleaded and
explained--and been utterly beaten.
Pursuing Mr.. Smith here to New
York City, Mr.. Miller squarely chal-
lenged Mr.. Smith on the transit
issue. Mr.. Smith declared that he
would abolish the Transit Commits
sion. Governor Miller showed what
he had already accomplished through
the Transit Commission and what
would be accomplished in the future.
Seldom have the voters of the city
witnessed such complete discontinue
as befell Mr.. Smith on this vital
issue.
Thus beaten on every real issue
Of the campaign, Mr.. Smith had no
choice but to fall back upon irrele-
vancies. He ends the campaign with
but two talking points left-the wet
plank of the Democratic platform
and the Republican tariff. The one
is cheap pretense that can fool
only the most credulous. The other
is an issue utterly irrelevant to the
campaign for the Governorship of
the State of New York. If Mr..
Smith were elected Governor unani-
snously he could not draw one glass
of real beer for the werkingman or
alter the Fordney tariff by the frac-
tion Of cent. To proclaim such
issues Is to admit defeat.
Governor Miller's victory has been
earned by hard, efficient work on the
stump-exactly as ne has earned the
right TO reelection by his hard, eff
ficient work at Albany. He is not a
snowy fighter any more than he is a
snowy worker. He began his term
without blare of trumpets; he
worked without display. He had on
his side only the fact that he was
one of the two or three ablest execu-
tives the state has ever had the good
fortune to find. How he can work
and how he can fight are written in
the records at Albany and have been
/, abundantly borne home to Mr. Smith
and the voters in the last few days.
Governor Miller is to-day one Of
che outstanding figures in American
public life. New Workers can be
proud Of him and thankful Of their
!. opportunity to return him to his
mask for another two years.

And, though I've often bit sweeter bit,

Ambassador George Harvey, very
evidently trying for an effect of
whimsical humor, seems to have
succeeded in getting himself in bad.
No one capable of thought at all,
and taking the trouble to think for
a minute, really supposes that Mr..
Harvey wishes to go on record with
| the serious statement that he be-
lieves that women have no souls. 1t
is merely that gentle josh has
gone wrong. And he is being repri-
manded for it as Indignantly as II
he had spanked q white-haired
mother with shovel.
| A noted public speaker once told
US his recipe for getting across a
| joke OF piece of satire 10 a mixed
| audience with the assurance that it
would be understood in the mood
and spirit in which it was de-
| livered
"It takes three operations" he
said. First you tell them that you
are going to tell them an amusing
story Then you tell them the story,
telling them that you are telling it.
| Then you tell them that you have
told them an amusing story, telling
them once again just what it is.
Then they get it and get the fact
that you are not serious about it..
A whimsical mood may survive
print. But we have noticed that it
seldom survives the telegraph. Mr..
Harvey should adopt the principle
Of explaining at least three times
that he is merely being amusing,
and should insist in the future that
his explanation Of his humor be
tclegraphed to the world along with
| the huracr itself.

Franklin X. Lane, Secretary Of
the Interior under President Wilson,
and Josephus Daniels, Secretary of
the Navy, disagree as to what hap
pened at certain Cabinet meetings
in 1917, where both were present
and where both made notes, at the
time or Immediately afterward. How
can historians hope to get the
straight Of anything when eye and
ear witnesses who were at the same
time participants are at variance?
Possibly it will not make great
deal of difference history is written

VERSE O. CHEER
BY Edgar L. Jones

GIRL o. NINE.
The girl. who owns the heart o. me,
So dainty, sweet and fair to see,
Shy and modest, just the kind
OF girl I've always tried to find.
Many years I gayly played
With love, to find the only maid
In all the world. and know that she
Was willing to belong to me.
And now when I am by her side
Ny happy heart is filed with pride.
To think this little maid divine
Is owner Of this heart o. mine.
Tho years may come and years may
go
With worry, care and pain and woe
I'm happy that 1 know that she
Is here 20 share it all with me.
Thru golden Joy or fretful pain.
Thru sunny skies or storm or rain
It's good to have someone to share.
It's good TO have someone TO care.
