COURTING NEW ENGLAND

The La Toilette band wagon in tends to traverse New England rather thoroughly it is stated in dis patches inspired by the central head quarters of the third party. The as tonishing news is given that there is "a chance" to carry "one or more states" in New England, those men, toned being New Hampshire, Rhode Island and Massachusetts.
 We thought Chairman Butler of c, O. P. national heaquarters had swallowed all the optimism eXtant throughout the country, but now we know that some of it has been garnered at the La-Follette head quarters.
 Still, the condition in Rhode Island is a pretty kettle of fish for the Cool idge party. With a poison gas attack in the senate in theN background, a Democratic governor in the saddle, and widespread textile labor disturb ances on tap. it isn't safe to bet a postage stamp on the G. o. r. out look there.
 The Democrats appear to be look ing at the spectacle with a compla- cent attitude. Most of the third party voters, after having broken away from the Republican national ticket, may vote for state Democrat ic candidates in lieu of any to be voted upon on the LaFollette ticket.
 This is an aspect of the campaign that the Democrats cannot afford to overlook. Coolidge may carry most of the New England states, but the state Democratic tickets will assur- edly gain considerable as a result of the disaTectioa in the Republican ranks caused by the third party split.

CURLEY AND THE COMMISSION.

Mayor Curley of Boston got the undivided attention of his hearers in Springfield when during a speech he said that, if he is elected governor, he will do all in his power to break up the secret understanding between the public utilities commission and the transportation interests of the state.
 As trolley fares had just been raised in Springfield, through an or- der of the utilities commission, this listened well' to the embattled strap hangers.
 The plan of the Democratic plat form in Connecticut to have the members of the utilities commission elected by the people. so as to in- sure more sponsiveness to their in- terests, is even better Mayor Cur ley should adopt the plan.

FINES "GO UP"

The cost of automobiing is in- creasing: that is, such part of the cost represented by paying fines for infractions of the rules.
 A beginning is being made in New York. Chief Magistrate McAdoo in the metropolis announces that the only way to stop improper parking and violations of traffic rules gener- ally is to increase the fines He an- nounces stiff increases, to go into effect at once.
 The magistrate opines that the only way to pound sense into the craniums of some drivers is to sub tract cents from their pocketbooks.

NEW KHAN RULINGS
Hereafter State Realms Are To Have Big Voice In Selection Of Grand Dragons Appointed.

Kansas City, Sept. 26.-A promise that state realms hereafter will have voice in the selection of the grand dragons appointed to rule over them was made to delegates attending the imperial klonvokation of the Ku klux Klan here yesterday by Im- perial Wizard H. W. Evans.
 T am going to tell you something that will make you feel mighty good" he told the delegates. Here after each grand dragon whom I ap- point will be subject to the ratif- cation of the klan in the state where he is appointed. Now, isn't that democratic, boys?
 The militant klancraft gives the wizard the right to appoint the grand dragons, but I'm going to do more than that. I'm going to let you boys say whether you want the grand dragon I appoint"

OTHER MEMS CLOTHES (By George s. Chappell)

 night, ef And gain the quiet of my flat, I find, when turn on the light, I've got some other fellows hat, And when l try 1t on, 1t fits; l like it's shape. its ribbons tone. In fact, every detail, it's Much more becoming than my own. And so with borrowed shoes or ties Or major garments such as shirts, They are so pleasing to my eyes The thought of parting with them
 hurts. And so, upon my closet shelf, I guard and keep this raiment fine. And with the thought absolve myself, They're doubtless just as pleased

A Fablegram

A hare and a tortoise undertook to run race.
 In few bounds the hare was so far ahead of the tortoise that he lay down in tho sun and slept for three hours.
 When he awoke, the tortoise was still so far behind. as to be barely visible.
 Poor fish," said the hare, as he sauntered leisurely to the goal, nibbling at lettuce all the way. When the tortoise finally reached the goal, three days later, he was so chagrined that he apprenticed him. self to an optician for tortoise shell spectacles.

PULLMAN CHARGE ARGUED
II. R. Companies Say It Is Necessary While Travelling Men Say Need No Longer Exists.


 No Longer Exists
 Washington, Sept. 26,-Final ar- gument for and against abolition of the railroad surcharge on Pullman travel was heard today by the in- terstate commerce commission.
 Representative of the nations railroads, contending that the car- riers render a service to the Pullman passenger for which they are not otherwise reimbursed, claimed that to end the surcharge would add a burden to them which would be un- justified in view of present passen- ger earnings,
 Spokesmen for national travelling mems organizations based their op- position to continuance of the sur charge mainly on the contention that 1t was created for an emergency which no longer exists.
 Abolition of the surcharge was recommended to the commission by its examiners after an investigation and the commission then heard tes- timony from both sides. The argu- ments today constitute the final step before the commissions decision.
