 Coald the ownsr tgn inst what was going to happen and whan. praper pre1- aratdons might be made to prevent plossons, but 1t is that degree of uncer- tairsty, the impression which has been gained that they are not dangerous and the ar1abiHty to t4ll when someone is go- ing to take chances with thsnh which cail' for the taking of precAuEions be- fore 1t Is too late. Such relics are like railroad torpedoes. They do no harm If uroperly used. but when young anyesti- gators or others begin to chap them with an ax or pound them with hammer there Is quickly emphasized the fact that safety first has not been properly observed.
 1t is a case of dealing with the unev- pscted but 1t is possible to anticipate such to a certain degree and those whe heed the advice to properly dispose T or render harmless loaded shells will 5e doing a wise thing.

THE HARrronD CONVENTION.

Where there is smoke there is usually some fire and such proved to be true in connection with the contest for the places on the democratic state ticket. The contests were for the most import ant offices and whether they were of a character to continue beyond the con vention remains to be disclosed though the majority was decisive enough to set tie the matter, even though the cam paign and convention caucuses develop ed considerable feeling. They were in decided contrast to the manner in which the nominees were selected for the same offices by the republicans last week, In his kynote address to the conyen- tion Homer s. Cummings undertook to point out some mistakes made by the present administration without nanag- | ing to get very far. He was partieu- larly concerned over the address Of Sem ator Brandegee and endeavored to make i 1t known that he could not accept all
 his. claims but without putting forth a
 convincing statement of facts to the | contrary. and when he came to dealing
 with state affairs he was quite as wid. | of the mark.
 I He made the most o6 his opportunity to chide republican leaders because of the failure to refer to the state admin I istration in the convention platform but he made a weak effort when he an dertook to decry the state adrninistfa- ton. As he knows conditions have had
 to be met in connection with state gov
 ernment quite the same as with natiena government but he cannot disregard tht economy In administration that he hal ; been accomplished under Governor Lake

How important 1t Is that thDse who are involved in crime should be ade- quately punished for the influence 1t will have upon their future acts and the increased respect for law which it will create in the minds of others was em- phasized by Judge Thayer at session of the high court at Springfield when he took occasion in sentencing three who had been involved in a big fur robbery to set forth that the community was entitled to and must receive pro4ection It was a case where strong efforts were made to work upon the sympathy of the court but it was pointed out that while the population of the common wealth had increased 14 per cent in he last decade crinie has increased II per cent and the protection of the coGnmu- nifty demanded the situation be dealt with firmly. Two involved in the rob bery were given eight to twelve years in state prison and the third received from three to five years He took cnt of the short cuts in giving the iawles; to understand that violations and craEns actually carry a penalty that Is wortt avoiding.
 It. Is QuAe III keoptn8 WIIu InlS S2Hs attitude when Judge Chase in Yer mont court sentenced an sautcmobill | thief to state prison for nine years, ap parcntly being moved by the fact tha If the law is going to have any effec in checking the great number of theft it must be shown to have teeth.
 In other words it 9s time to sto1 handing out slap on the wrist day il and day out for crimes which are stead fly increasing. The recognition of thi by all the courts instead of causing surprise now and then by what seems t be an unusual sentence compared witt what have been handed out would no only go far to place check upon crim' but 1t would accomplish it in no grea period of time. Just as long as the i'm pression is permitted to prevail througi the display of leniency that crime car ries no serious punishment 1t can be ex pected to flourish and increase out of al proportion to the increase fin population as 1t has done in Massachusetts.

FROM LUCIL.LE'S DIARY

Why, Lucile, how did you happen out here so early in the season 2" was the rather l1ngracious greeting which received from the mistress of Hill. top when drove into the place a week ago today and found her working in the garden.
 Why you see, explained, I met your brother on Thursday, and he told me that he was looking for some one to help you out here, and after we parted it suddenly occurred to me that I could come just as well as not. So here am, bag and baggage, as you see? Shall have the man put my trunk in the blue room, where stay cd once before 2"

LOADED sHpEu.

Those who have left unexpRoded shells where children could play with them, and those who have put them on the parlor shelf among other war relies have been brought face to face with the danger involved but not without q de- plorabls sacrtaps of life.
 The idea of retaAaIng war relics ca wen enough as far as it goes but dn sev- eral instances it has been demonstrated that shells which are referred to as "duds." because they did not explode at the time an attempt was made to fire ,hem, and th6ss which no attempt has been made to d4scharge are an actual menace. To place them about a room or on a shelf seems harmless enough in. asrnuch as they are intended for exhi- bition purposes but a properly dlrsutst hIow or an accident which, topples ens oa and down onto the hoeF has rsssit.

NEW YoRK,s COAL PRICES.

New York state adopAted special legis-t lation far the purpose of dealing withl the coal situation and a single headed fuel commission was arDointed. Of in-, teresf to more than the people of that city win be the scale of prices which was announced for New York city by the assistant to the fuel administrator. in which 1t is shown that dealers are, to sell coal for household use for $13.25. a ton. an advance of only IS cents over the pulce obtained last March.
 While there will be few who will feel that they ought to be taxed to make up for the idleuess of the mines due to the refusal of miners to work, which IS the reason given for the increase, there win be no disposition to fight such an increase provided fuel can be obtained. It is much smaller than there had been reason to believe 1t would be- and so small that 1t will add no great burden to the fellow who has to pay the winters coal bill. He will in fact be ticxled to think in view of the things ttaat have been done to him to think that he can get out of it that easy. He will not be able to get his coal supply in before the snow flies but if he can get enough to keep warm h's chief worry will be that the price will not hold good very long.
 Just what bearing the special legisla- ton passed in New York state has up- on this price list Is not indicated. For that reason it Is impossible to judgs h1w other states will fare when it comes to paying for coal. but with the scale of r-lszs being made public and explained hv the fuel administrators office 1t would at least appear to have his ap- provaL
 Such being the case it Is reasonable To assume that if it is possible t~ nro- vide the coal for New York consumsTu at no more than an advance os += cents a ton over prices before the strike the szme ought to hold good concerning con runners in other states, or at Hast the situation ought not to be any worse New York appears to have set the pace in this matter and consumers who through the winter without. being obliged to pay more should consider themselves lucky. although there is still good reason for feeling that even that s too high price for coal

 Well, it's done now. but
 'Yes, you are right, Miss Belinda, things without remedy should be with l out regard. Whats done is done..' You see read Shakespeare
 Really ?" remarked Miss Belinda 1 vaguely, and she was so repressed and distraita Il through luncheon. which she barely tasted, that was distinctly un- comfortable. had always thought she had bettle mental boise than to be up- set about such small matter as the loss of few grains of corn. Although I hated to tear myself from book, I 1 offered to asst her in the garden. as wished to show my willingness to
 make amends for my unfortunate ht- tie mistake. .fNo, thank you, Lucille don't be. lieve gardening is your forte" she re- piled. T discovered this morning that you had pulled up all my portulaea." Why was that stuff some flower l I thought it was parsley
 Tt does bear a very slight resem- blanoe to it, admitted Miss Belinda coIdly. Indeed her attitud was so un-

THE sHrp supsrpY NATTER.

When President Harding stressed the need of giving attention to the question of a ship subsidy he let it be understood that if 1t was not taken up at the pres snt session of congress he would call 8 special session to deal with 1t The idea of dealing with this matter at this time failed to meet the desired response and by agreement he refrained from insist ing upon action but 1t cannot cause sur- prise when 1t is now announced that q special session will probably be called for the 18th of November for the p.ir- pose of considering the nroh'an that urrounds our merchant mraine.
 Thls will be following the election and 1t will be possible to deal with it without having that in mind, a fact which Is no little imporance in view ct the need that surrounds our shipping What is called for Is to take e1.-N ae. ton as the facts in the case call for
 We have obtained merchant marine after a large expenditure of money and we are able to meet our requirements as to transportation needs. It has no' only cost us much money to get A1neri- can ships win which to carry ARneracar goods, but it ds costing US much to main tain them and American ship owners are having their troubles endeavorine t, compete with foreign shipping
 The question seems to be a sqnpa, one. If we want to retain our merehan marine for which we have been elamnr ing 90 many years, we seem to be dut. bound to give the same eneouragefnea to American ship owners as Is given t, owners under foreign flags. Tn view 0 our laws and regulations concernin, shipping American shipping is placed il an unfavorabie position. If, of course we do not want to have a rlerohan marine We can insist upon discourasin, American shipping and that end will D quickly secured
 Shipping is an important matter fo this country and 1t Is this which th president believes should not only ge proper attention but should get t a quickiy as possible.
 A special session would provide tn necessary nme for getting this matte started before the regular session open n December.
