POTENTIAL INcENDIARIEs

Asmotorist tells US of an incident
in his Sundays trip. Another
motorist had driven his car up
alongside a growth Of wood beside
the road. All about was the finder
Of dried sticks and leaves in the
midst of which he was building a
fire for making his coffee.
That motorist was a potential
incendiary. taking chances with lives
and property. He should be hailed
to court. fined heavily and then sent
to jail for as long as the law would
permit. The criminal. who steals a
purse, has not by that act exposed
so many human beings to danger
or been as potentially destructive
Of property as that motorist build
ing a fire Of the finder by the road
side.
This is a fact about which there
may be no dispute. Then why not
regard that careless motorist as a
bad citizen. whose society is to be
avoided, whose ways are open to
suspicion? Above all why not in
some way infiict upon him the
penalty he deserves?

CAUSES FOR CONFIDENCE

The unquestionable purpose of the
Governor and Council honestly and
accurately to ascertain the facts
respecting the Republican primary
vote and the methods which they
have employed are cause for con-
fldence that the result will be found
acceptable by those who make up
the Republican party in Maine,
assuming. of course, the willing
ness of the successful candidate to
stand upon the Republican plat
form.
We have no apprehension Of such
unwillingness. especially In view of
the closeness of the vote. 1t has
been a very trying experience, not
only for the candidates and their
loyal supporters but for all who
have the interests of the Republican
party at heart. Moreover it Is an
experience which most-among Re-
publicans-would avoid in the
future. That being so, it is none
too soon to contemplate means for
ascertaining the popular will by
some more adequate method than is
now afforded by the primary law.
The experience is further cause for
confidence that this will eventually
be had.

You remember what the toad
said in the story before this, that
everyone who came into their king
dom would lose his fingers, don't
you? Wasn't that a dreadful thing
for Little Jack Rabbit to hear?
Well, 1 guess it was. and there
were so many toads that If he had
tried to get away he would have
stepped on them, and you know
what an awful feeling it Is to
step on toad.
For a moment, the poor little
bunny boy didn't know just what to

Editorial Comment
One Year
(BoSton Herald)

Boston Herald)
At 2:47 A. NJ. on Aug 3. 1923,
Calvin Coolidge became President
of the United States. In the year
that has passed since then he has
become one of the dominant figures
of world affairs. He has become so
for two reasons: Because of the
office he occupies, the United States
holding now position of pre-
eminence, and because he is dis
tinct and unusual, if not unique,
personality.
The year has been one OF political
trouble and uncertainty. 1t has
been a period of political turmoil.
The worlds affairs are distrausht
All governments are facing problems
which involve their very existence.
The spirit of attack is militant.
Cabinets and ministries are insecure.
Monarchs, such as are left, live
politically from day to day. Long
leases of power do not hold. In our
own country are those who would
tear asunder what we have been
building for a century and a half.
For it they would substitute I'M
tried things. They void exchange
republic for a social laboratory
They would set aside a representa-
tive democracy for a political expert
ment station.
Against this seduction stands the
sanity of Calvin Coolidge and of
those who uphold his American po-
Jltical philosophy. Expect to be
called a standpatter. but don't be a
staEdpatter. Expect to be called a
Gemagogue. but don't be a dema-
aogue. Don't hesitate to be as revo-
lutionary as science. Don't hesitate
to be as reactionary as the multi
plicat ton table. Those were his
words to tho Massachusetts state
Senate on being chosen it's president
They sum up his political philosophy
now.
This republic stands today as the
reliance of world security. Here is
strength. Here is pcrmanence of
liberty under law. To this country
turn the eyes of the world for hope,
encouragement and confidence.
In a time when mems minds arce
doubted andt when mems motives are
questioned, none doubts President
Colleges sanity and none qeustions
his motive. In time when ac-
Quisitiveness is enthroned in many
high places, none challenges the in
tegrity Of Calvin Coolidge. In
time when selnshness sways m6lti-
tudes in our country 120, 500 900
persons know that the President is
not selfish.
There are critics and opponents of
President Coolidge. Other parties
and groups seek to elect their candi-
dates for the Office he now holds.
None among them dares to impugn
his honesty.
Calvin Coolidge is dominant
perhaps the dominant-igure today
in the worlds affairs because he is
the embodiment of the strength,
sanity and essential honesty of an
honest nation
One year has so placed him in
the thought of the world No ac-
cumulation of years to come viii
rate him less than that.

PHANTAsY, ONE SORT AND AN.
OTHER

The Court, and indirectly the
public. have BEEN asked by the de-
fense Of Nathan Leopold Jr. and
Richard Loeb. to believe they plan
ned long. deliberately and with
much detail the horrible murder of
the Franks boy in obedience to a
childish phantasy." 1t does not
appear whether the alienist's con-
illusions would, IL accepted, result
in the murderers being returned to
college where they were brilliant
students, being given a tweak Of the
ear or possibly a good spanking by
way. OF penalty. He possibly might
admit that for Appearances sake
II would be better to restrain them
for brief period while the public
could forget all about 1t. Probably
1t would not require long treatment
for Matte Leopold and Dicky Loeb to
recover from their mental difficulties,
including their emotions of five-year
old children. which the alienist de-
clares possessed them.
Should the father of the murdered
boy happen to have a Childish
phantasy" and use violent methods
upon them we cuppose some alleged
expert in mentality might be found
who would characterize his act as
due to a phantasy. 1t Is interesting
to learn that this aIienist when ask
ed whether these young fiends
with their demonstrated intelleets
did not possess the power of choos-
ing whether to murder or not to
murder replied: II don't know"
1t is noteworthy to secure from an
alienist such an admission as, II
don't know" 1t helps to confirm
from the expert himself what many
have long suspected. This is not
intended to imply that all the con-
illusions of alienists are moon
. shine" 1t is possible, indeed prob
able that the development OF the
moral perceptions of these youthful
murderers was inferior IL not as lit
tie as that Of a five-year old child
dslishting in torturing the cat. 1t
has been a matter, however. Of
general observation that a suitable
punishment Of the f1ve-year old af-
fords the cat greater assurance of
enjoying the nine lives to which it
is said to be entitled. Society, as
well as cats must be protected from
childish phantasies, but II the
dictum OF this particular alienist is
to be accepted 1t will become i'm
possible to protect society. Already
1t is, wofully unprotected because
of phantasies or worse on the part
OF those who have the administer
ing of penalties for wrong doing.
The home town of these young
thugs. Chicago. has a record Of a
murder day. No less an observer
than, Sir oliver Lodge. the eminent
scientist, has reached the conclusion
that penalties do deter the weak
minded and are absolutely necessary
for proper restraint.

SHOULD KNOW MORE ABOUT IT

The reopeniag Of the institute Of
politics at Williams College re-
minds the editor Of the Washington
Post there is a need in this country
of q national institute "of compar-
able dignity for the study not Of in
ternational affairs but Of the Con-
stitution Of the United States"
The reminder 10 especially time
ly by reason of the fact that one
candidate for the Presidency. Mr..
Davis. would have tho Constitution
amended so that the ratification of
treaties with foreign countries
might be had by vote not of two
thirds Of the Senate but Of q ma
5ority Of both houses; while an
other candidate, LaFollste, would
make the judiciary inferior to the
legislative department.
A moments consideration Of the
condition of the present Congress
ought to be sufticisnt to convince q
person having common sense Of the
danger that there inevitably would
be were the LaFollstte plan adopted.
A demasogue has the whip hand of
the Congress now In power and no
demagogue was ever known to hold
the scales Of justice with an honest
hand. Unfortunately altogether too
many do net apply their common
sense to such questions as are In
rolved in Constitutional amend.
ments.' Besides there are at least
four or Ave million illiterate voters
fl this country and no one knows
how many. not illiterate. are Inn
practical or needless. whether by
means OF Constitutional institutes
or by more general method It would
be better to so about rousing In
terest In and comprehension Of
questions pertaining to our Com
stituticn and laws. we do not know.
but there should be no doubt re-
specting the need OF disseminating
such Information wisely and per-
sistently.
