\ JUST REBUkE

The finish of the legal argumenta- ton In the Franks case was on a
 par with the entire trial States Attorney Grove received rebuke
 for what the judge termed a COW ardly and dastardly assault upon the courts integrity, the rebuke re- sulting from Groves reference to a friendly judge" and a reference that rioting might follow failure 10 hang Loeb and Leopold.
 Sometimes the prosecution in a criminal case is al an advantage and at other times at disadvantage. Grove from the start had the ad- vantage of a clear case against the accused so far as their guilt was concerned, but when Clarence Dar- row put in plea Of guilty for the youthful slayers and began court campaign for mitigation of punish mnnt on the score Of their alleged mental condition, the tables turned in favor of Darrow, the most able lawyer Of the two.
 Whichever way the verdict goes it must be admitted that Darrow made masterly defense to obtain what in effect amounts 10 clemency. Groves prosecution was far less subtle relying almost solely upon the brute force of denunciation, end- ing in being stcrnly rebultcd by the judge. Grove probably expected th" rcbuke by the judge. but moments reflection before he uttered his would have told him he was injuring his case

SPLENDID LEAGUE RACE

The close pennant race in the
 American league has served to in-
 crease interest in big league base
 ball this year, including the smaller
 cities who are not on the big cir
 cult.
 The New York Yankees have been
 prime favorites In New Britain. but as this aggregation has won series of pennants there are some who will be satisfied to see another team in the running. Hope was rampant earlier in the season that the Bos- ton Red Sox would be up among the leaders in that league this year, but after preliminary streak of speed they have have dwindled in power and prestige.
 Ty Cobb's Tygers have been con- testing first place with the Yankees fercely, but the team, due to a pre- ponderance of young players, has lacked staying power, although any team that is as close to the leaders as Detroit still has a chance to win the pennant.
 Satisfaction is expressed that the Washington club Is doing so well. There arc large numbers of persons Throughout the country who would like 10 see Washington get into the world series for no other reason than 10 see Waiter Johnson. the 1 greatest pitcher in baseball, perform in such series. They believe pitcher of such outstanding skill IS entitled to hurl in a world series al least once in his career. IL IS be- Iieved that in such series he could win every game he pitched. Not since the days Of Cy, Young nus Ihere been such wonderful md his record is all Inc more remarkable in that during most of his career he was iden- .iaed with an also-ran club, when was not the i'll fortune of Young.

Harry C. Brown has returned from ten days trip to Halifax. He reports a splendid time.
 There was night blooming cereus at the residence of James Gaffney last evening and number of persons gathered there to witness the unfolding of the flower.
 Some one occupying a room on the third floor of the Stanley build ing threw lighted lamp into the street last night X number of peo- ple were on the street at the time and there was rush for nearby doorways.
 The committee appointed to se- lect new principal for the high school held a lengthy meeting last night but failed to agree. It is now thought that principal will not be selected in time to open school next week.
 The monthly police report shows that there were S1 arrests during this month. This is an increase of month of August last year.

MOSCOW BRUTALITY

Sentencing to death Of twenty-five eounter-reyolniionary officers in Moscow again illustrates the inherent brutality Of the soviet. Some Of these officers engaged in counter revolution st time when the reds had not completed their own reyo- lntion, and one would think the eountef-resoltors had as much right to engage in that particular pastime as the red revoiutlonists. But the reds somehow have remained in power and with 1t goes the power over life and death.
 The story Of Gen. Boris savinoff. one Of those convicted. Is especially appealing. He distinguished himself in the war against Germany, and was one of those who started the original Russian revolution, but when the reds ended the constituent assembly he originated his own revo- iution. He had been military gov ernor of Petrograd and became as- sistant war minister in the kerensky cabinet.
 As Gen. savinoff has impressed the reds with the fact that he has changed his mind his life may be spared, The lives of the others also | should be spared. They merely bet | on the wrong revolution.

SMITH TO STAY PUT

Gov. Smith Of New York apparent ly has definitely decided against running for reelection, thus refus- ing to meet the exigencies of the political situation in the Empire state.
 With Smith on the ticket it would have been tremendous aid to the Democratic party in carrying the state for Davis. With him off the ticket it means that the Republicans are better fixed to carry the state for Coolidge.

Just Like a Woman.


 She had been convicted and con- demned 10 die by hanging. Many believed in her innocence, but when the fateful day came no pardon had arrived, There was no hope, and the hours flew by until the fatal time came. She was led to the gallows and the moose was adjusted about her graceful neck. She was calm and composed.
 '1s there anything you wish to say before the trap is sprung?" asked the executioner There were tears in hns eyes-he believed her guiltless of the crime.
 "Yes," she murmured.
 At the end of two hours she was still talking and she was only inter- rupted by the arrival of the pardon.

WAR ON srIcKERs

The warfare against placing pie lures of bathing girls and similar stickers on the windshields of auto mobiles has reached Massachusetts. where Registrar of Motor Vehicles Goodwin has ruled the practice is unlawful.
 Satire accompanied his statement:
 Aside from the fact that they obscure the vision it is fair to assume that any operator who is so much interested in this school of art as 10 paste bath ing girl on the windshield of his car is very likely to be so ab- sorbed in curves and contours just as some child runs into the road, that the inevitable crash will occur"
 The war against the practice in cludes political posters, or anything which obstructs the view.
