C. 0. r. APATHY.

It is said that political apathy pre- vails in Connecticut. This supposi- ton is based on the fact that no large gatherings are listening 10 spellbinders presenting the issues" ," that there have been no torch light processions followed by party rallies, and no poitica banners are on dis play,
 The New Haven Journal Courier waXcs lugubrlous at the prospect. The editor says, this newspaper has been fixing its eyes on the conduct of men for a period of years greater than the age of the republic and long before opposition to the feder- alists gave birth to an anti-foderalist party; long before the followers of Hamilton and Jefferson came to grips. It, therefore. views the pre-  Vaiing apathetic mood with lively curiosity" And then goes on to de- tail the things not being done today that were done in the good old days. There was something worth while in the old order of things and the polls showed handsome percentage of citizens votng," he concludes.
 The Journal-Courier is a standpat Republican newspaper of high stand ing in the state. Its Jeremiah-like utterances appear to reflect condi- tions in the party quite accurately.

MORALITY.

Don Marquis, humorist on the Kew York Herald Tribune, discussed the controversy that has arisen as d result of the play, What Price Glory" which faithfully portrays the |. S. Marines in action, language and all.
 Wou)d-be censors have been after the play, particularly army censofs' who claim the play hurts enlistment But the chief discussion reVerts around the morality depicted 50 with this as subject, Don Marquis proceeds;
 The word moral has been so
 o,crworkcd by various grabbers
 of the spotlight. who are seeking
 some temporal power from
 bragging of their alleged spir-
 Huality. that it almost makes
 me gag to hear it. They have

SACCO AND NANZETTI.

Refusal 10 grant Sacco and Van zetti new trial is of national, if not international, moment; not because of the charge against them but be- cause of radical propaganda that was caused 10 circulate through publicity channels at home and abroad.
 It is somewhat astounding, if not disconcerting, that two foreigners, arrested, tried and convicted of the murder of a paymaster and his guard at South Braintree, Mass, should have their cases so thoroughly broadcastcd throughout the civilized world; and all because radical pro- pagandists claimed the two men were charged with the crime be- cause of their professed radical lean- ings and not because of evidence that they had committed the deed. Judge Webster Thayer of Norfolk county. Mass, in denying five mo- tions having as their object the granting of a new trial, is regarded as a fair-mnded judge; but like every judge who realizes he Is pre- ! siding over a case of national or in ternational interest, he is willing to share the responsibility of applying justice. If I have erred in my iudgmcnt-and I fully realize that am human-lct me express the as- surance that the supreme judicial court of inc commonwealth will in due time correct the error" he de- clared.
 It is likely that this cause ceIebre will reach the supreme court in Washington. To leave the case rest where it is would stimulate more radical propaganda to sthe effect that the pair were convicted because or their political beliefs,
 The history of the case is a net work of legal .technicalities. The paymaster and guard were killed during a hotdup at a shoe factory in South Brajutree on April 15, 1920. Following & long search, police ar rested Sacco, a shoe worker, and VanzettLa fish peddIer, as two of the five robbers. and put Nanzetti on trial for another ho,dup in which ne was sentenced to 12 years in prison.
 After long trial both men were convicted of first degree murder in the Brairtrco shoe factory holdup. i Worldwide demonstrations by radl- : calls accomrauied tho court case, The defense was that Sacco and Nanzetti feared -ho police because of their radical activities and that they had always carried guns for sctf-protoc- tion.

WHOSE CHAOS Is IT?

WHOSE CHAOS Is IT?
 Republican campaign managers are enormously pcrturbed over the situation in the west, and to indicate the extent of their mental perpleX- ity have coined the mellifuous but innocuous phrase, Coolidge or Chaos"
 The chaos that is referred to, how ever. is a hay connection of the mind. It can be interpreted as meaning several things-the chaos of having the election decided by congress, which would not exactly signify chaos, but would be strictly according to the constitution; or the chaos of Coolidge not winning the election. which Republicans would not consider sufficient chaos to worry about,
 The west is topsy-tuNy political Iy and gives no promise of improV- ing before election day. Indeed, it is extremely likely that the situation will get worse.
 Senator Brookhart's defection is terrible setback in Nebraska. Sena- tor Norris is combating the G. o. P. in Iowa with all the power of his in- fluence and caustic tongue. Senator Hiram Johnson is making no effort in behalf of Coolidge in California; his influence may be oVerrated, but he probably has enough left to injure the ticket considerably. La Toilette in name remains a Republican; in- deed. there seem to be many kinds of peculiar Republicans.
 Then there is Senator Borah Of Idaho. What particular gymnastic turns has this gentleman made so far in behalf of the ticket on which he was the prime consideration as the vice-presidential nominee? What he has done so far is cipher with the rim omitted.
 Other Republican leaders in the northwest are no better or worse than those mentioned, The enthus- iasm for the ticket is somewhat like a plunge in a tank of ice water,
 This is the chaos that the Repub- )can party asks the Democrats and Independents to assist in avoiding But it is a chaos with which they are no+ in the least identified. It is of, bv and for the Republicans; it has been manufactured in their oWn party and is not a part Of the Dem- ocratic or Independent establish ments. The New York Times aptly remarks on this subject;
 This is the state of things
 which Republicans call chaos.
 Almost tearfuIly they are ap-
 healing to independent voters
 and patriotic Democrats to avert
 inc great peril by voting for
 Coolidge. Whether it could be
 averted in that way is a queS-
 tion which we do not discuss
 here. But there can hardly De
 two minds about the cffrontery
 of the Republicans in asking
 outsiders to save them from inc
 results of their own party dis-
 runtion. Looked at closely ana
 coollv. the chaos is purely q Re-
 nulJican creation. Democrats
 did not force or foster the La
 To,lo+tc movement. In its party features 1t is essentially a Re
 nubljcan split. And if independ-
 snts and Democrats were 1n-
 cIired to look al tho matter in a-
 sniri+ of brutal reality they
 could reply to the beseechlng
 Rcpubicans. why bother us
 ahout your chaos? You brought
 if on vourse1ves. Now attend 'o
 it yoursolycs'.'
