Drafting a Candidate.

Norman f.. Mack Of Buffalo, ma
tional Democratic committeeman for
the State of New York is one of those
who has been most persistently seek
ing to persuade Coy. Smith to take
another nomination.. Ever since the
close Of the Madison Square Garden
convention he has been dinging and
donSing at the governor on the score
of his duty to his party and the
State whenever the governor has in
timated that he would not consider
running for another term. He has
kept at him in and out of season. He
will not take mo for an answer. He
persists in his optimisnl-or is it
pessimism regarding the necessity of
the governors aidc-and finally he has
put the situation thus after Il con-
ference at Albany with the elusive
executives:
The governor tells me- that he thinks
he has been governor long enough and
that this is the time for him to retire.
He has pointed out to the governor
that to run again and he reelected for
two years more will not kill him and
that this is a party necessity which
rises high above his personal desires.
| know very We'll that if the conven-
ton names him he will accept, although
he has not told me that.
If that is the situation. if the gov
ernor accepts in case Of nomination
regardless of his professed wish to
be excused, then Mr.. Mack will have
his way. 1t would seem to be a
very simple situation. after all, on that
basis. Let the governor keep on pro
the convention at Syracuse so ahead
and name him and then let nature
take its course. Very simple indeed.
OF course. when the Syracuse con-
vention meets Gov. Smith will have
something to say privately to those
in charge which will perhaps infiu-
ence its action. If he really hon
estly and truly does not want to be
run again, which may or may not be
the same thing. the convention can
not dragon him. For he is the head
Of his party in the State and no
party unless he was chloroformed
And there is small chance Of APP
plying anesthetics to SO astute a poll
tician as Alfred T.. Smith. If he is
nominated it will be because he wants
to be and not because he is forced.

New Styles in War.

Most persons privately prefer peace
to war, even as war was fought in
the oldfashioned way, with rifles.
cannon, bayonets and sabers. When,
in the recent war, the German sons
Of Mars strangled men with gas,
dropped dynamite or INT from mid
night skies on people in bed and in
hospitals and blew up passenger ships
at sea, drowning non-combatants by
the thousands, most persons thought
that the limit of atrocity had been
reached. But men with a talent for
war and promiscuous murder are not
putting Che brakes on their genius.
The DEVILS inventors are busy, and
they promise that in the next war
they will show a line Of goods which

There has been e meeting of sci
entists at Philadelphia in honor of the
centenary Of the Franklin Institute.
Some of the men who spoke-and they
seemed to speak with knowledge and
suthority-told that among the new
weapons that would be used in the
next war were chemicals that would

Jail the Speeders!

A young man in Detroit of high
social standing was sentenced to
spend five days in the house of cor
rection and to pay d fine of 500 for
speeding his motor car. The penalty
was not excessive, considering the
danger to which the public was ex-
posed through his recklessness. 1t
would be well, making for greater
safety, if such penalties were inflicted
regularly. To send a speeder to Jail
is far more effective a correction than
to administer a fine.
Speeding causes most of the motor
accidents. A car that is under con-
troll will not strike dangerous blow.
4 speed of above 20 miles an hour
in crowded streets is likely to bring
about fatalities at any moment. A
car going at that rate cannot be
safety. Greater speed is not essential.
Those who regard themselves while
driving motor cars as above regula-
ton. and especially above the rights
afoot or awheel, should be given
heavy penalties whenever they are
caught. And they should be caught
and punished before they cause acct
dents. Successive cases should be
punished by cumulatively heavier
penalties
Whenever a fatality occurs which
is due to speeding the driver should
be held for manslaughter and quick
ly brought to trial and, if convicted
punished by Jail term. Only by
such dra site means can the habit of
scorchins in the streets and on the
roads of the suburbs be cured.
Jail for the speeder is likely to
prevent hospital treatment for the
victim.

The Holy Name Society.

From all parts of the United States
today come delegates representing the
membership of a great religious or
ganiation, created primarily FOR the
strict observance of the Third Com.
mandment, the Holy Name Society.
This body of Catholic men is one of
the potent moral forces of this coun-
try. It's membership comprises 1,5O0,-
900, who are pledged against profan-
ity. They meet now here in Wash
ington in annual session with about
5000 representatives, who will hold
sessions during the remainder of this
week and on Sunday will head great
procession of Holy Name societies,
comprising, it is estimated, over 100,.
900 marchers.

Washington's public schools will

Monday again confronted with all of
the undesirable conditions accumu-
lated since the beginning of the
World War. magnified by the ever-in-
creasing shortage of classroom ac-
commodations, which this year loom
more serious than ever before.
The minimum increase in the school
enrolment during the new term is
expected to reach 1000. The summer
has given, in the way of additional
school facilities, only one new build
ing-the eight-room Bancroft School
at Eighteenth and Newton streets.

The seriousness Of the situation is

the current District appropriation bill
for the construction of additional
schools. Schoolhouse construction
will be at standstill throughout the
lS24-1925 scholastic year.

Once perplexing. the problem of re-
lieVing congestion is not giving
school authorities this year any grave
concern. Their only remedy is to in
crease the number of oversize and
part-time classes, thereby sacrificing
educational efficiency by giving the
pupils about 20 per cent of a normal
schooling.
Portable buildings, those unSightly,
fimsy, one-room frame structures,
pressed into use in the war time
emergency, when Washingtons popu-
lation rose to unprecedented heights.
will continue to be used, despite the
persistent efforts of school officials to
rid the school property of them. All
of the IS portables will be occupied
on the opening day of school. and
others could be used advantageously
IL funds We're available for their pur-
chase.
Decidedly helpful as temporary cx-
pedients, these portables are not sat
isfactory in extremely warm weather
or in cold, windy weather. Heated
by coal stoves, these buildings are
poorly ventilated and their very
presence on school property shows
the need of additional permanent
school facilities in the same region
How many oversize classes will be
organized this year officials will not
be able 10 answer until the peak Of
the enrolment is reached the latter
part of October. The number is
bound to exceed last years when
more than 500 classes had an enroll
ment of more than 40 pupils and
sometimes more than so. Classes of
10 and 50 pupils nrcessitate mass in
Struction. The desirable individual
instruction is impossible. As a re-
suit many pupils fail of promotion
and hence must repeat a grade. This
not only retards the pupil, but in
creases the congestion in the school.
Part time is 4 term used in Wash
ington to refer to classes receiving
less than a full day of instruction.
One class comes in the morning and
goes home at l. or 1890. and another
comes at | and goes home at or

made to accommodate two classes At
best, each class il receiving 3 IL hours

a plane that can be. guided without a
rider and which will dump explosives
on non-combatants as freely as on
combatants. Gen. Patrick, chief of the
Army Air Service, is reported as say
ing: I'VE have really gone so far as
to now believe that transportation of
an expeditionary force across the seas
is an impossibility. If the Germans
had known in the World War what
we know now, few of our million
men would have reached France"
We seem to be on the eve of some
monster development in air naviga-
ton. But there is consolation in
knowing that what can be used for
offense can be used for defense. In
view of the progress which war max
ers are registering, it would seem that
the peace keepers should make few
strokes of progress. 1t does not seem
fair that a hundred million people
sleeping in their beds or planting
cabbages in their fields should be
killed because a few men work them
selves up into Il fever of what they
call patriotism about a boundary line
or some bales and boxes Of goods
called trade. The great mass of peo-
pie are for peace, and in the end
the people will have their way.

Eyes on Iowa.

Candidate John w. Davis, reaching
Des Moines yesterday, took cognizance
of that feature of the presidential sit
uation in the State characterized by d
disposition on the part of the party
managers to hold that the contest
is between Coolidge and La Toilette,
as if 'disregardful of the fact that
there is a Democratic candidate in
the field. where do you get that
line of TALK" he may be imagined as
ports from the East of talk of like
tenor-that he is running third in the
race.
So he took prompt steps to put
think he was to be whistled down the
wind to third place. He got in touch
with leading Democrats, including
100 county chairmen, and proceeded
to instil a, little of the enthusiasm he
had accumulated in his tour up to
that time and tell them to brace up
and show that the Democrats are in
the running and will have to be ac-
counted for at the polls.
He is justified in that policy. All
reports to date agree that Iowa will
be a close State. 1t is quite within
the range of possibilities that Iowa
may prove the crucial State in the
election. The three parties are in a
desperate contest to hold it.
1t will be we'll worth while to keep
eyes on developments in Iowa as the
campaign progresses.

lief. Often, however. profanity is a
matter of thoughtless habit. 1t has
become part of speech without
meaning. Yet whatever the thought,
or lack Of thought, behind profane
words they are debasing in their in
fiuence.
The Holy Name Society, however,
seeks more than the mere purging of
speech of irreverent words and
phrases; it seeks a higher standard
of life. sounder system of morals.
1t is one of the beneficent, helpful,
constructive movements of the peo-
pie.
Washington, which is the site of
important institutions OF the Catho-
lie Church, is an appropriate scene of
this gathering. The delegates to this
convention are welcomed to the Capt.
tai. whose doors are always open to
Americans Of all degrees, all faiths,
all works.
