successful This year, the same tao
tics are resorted to, though in less
crude manner. Judge Gary indicated
the new system. When asked for his
views on the political situation, he
made this statement to the public
press:
s.If the majority of the voters are
wise, we shall see big. business coming
on pretty fast after election. II un-
worthy politicians have their way,
business will not be as good and
.dleness will be increased"
Judge Gary's notice recalls the
DAYS of 1896 when placards on fac
tory walls announced: "This factory
will close if Mckinley is not elected" !"

GRADE A FOOLISHNESS
First prize for general all-around
foolishness goes to a lawyers COM
mittee which denounces as bolshev-
ism the La Toilette proposal to limit
the powers of the supreme court.
Lawyers are supposed to be judi
cially- minded, but the statement Is
sued at New York by the committee
is far from being judicial. Consider,
for example, the following paragraph:
"The La Toilette attack upon our
constitution and the supreme court is
but the first step toward socialism,
bolshevism and chaos 1t would be
the death knell to the stability Of our
institutions and to the prosperity and
happiness of millions of workers,
honest Americans"
How's that for reasoning? Simply
because the progressives propose too
limit the supreme courts power to
thwart the will of the people, they
are called workers for bolshevism and
chaos.
The committee is working for the
republican candidates. 1t is no Won
der that men capable of emitting such
piffe as has just been quoted are
backing Coolidge and Dawes. Moth
ing but support of Coolidge, the I'M
movable standpatter, and of Dawes,
the iniunctionist and "open shopper"
could be expected of it.
Far from being step toward boil
shevism and chaos, as the reaction
aries contend, reform of the courts
is big step toward the elimination
of the bitter discomfort that leads
to bolshevism and radicalism Of the
most extreme brand. This truth
never seems to penetrate the alleged
intellects of the standpatters.

ARTHUR BRISBANE SAYS:
La Toilette denies unnecessarily
that he is working to cause a dead
lock and throw the election Of a
president into the house OF represen-
tatives. If the election goes to the
house, he cannot be chosen president,
and he knows it.
He is working for an idea; that OF
Independent action in politics; not for
himself. There is no more unselfsh
figure in national politics than Sem
ator La Toilette, AND ENEMIES
THAT LIE ABOUT HIM KNOW 1T.
To pile up the biggest possible vote
for the independent idea is what ne
wants - nothing else. After the
treatment which he got from the Cali
fornia court his vote ought to be big.

DR.. Knappenberger's stand on al

divorces are on the increase In
OnOndaga County, according to fig
ures made by Mrs. Emma X. Cal.
lanen, statigtician In the County
Clerks office.
Mrs. Callanen's figures show that
more divorces are granted IN this
county than separations or annul-
ments. This Ii contrary to beliefs
OF the average person who thinks
that the latter DEGREES are much
more numerous than absolute oepas

Mrs. Lieber White, widely. known

plan.
