THE SHENANDOAH

The American dirLSible Shenan- doah has made remarkably suo- cessful beginning of a trip that is to extend 5000 miles across the con- tinent and return. During that voy- age 1t will show Itself to millions of people who have never seen a dirigible before Every city, town and village over which the dirigible passes greetas the ponderous cruiser of the air with whistles and bells, The trip over the continent virtually is @ trip Of triumph,
 About a year ago 1t was intended 10 fly to the North Pole and return with the dirlgiblc; but after making extensive preparations the contem- plated thrust into the Arctic was abandoned. Cynics say the Arctic trip would not have been abandoned had a national election not been in sight
 if something had gone wrong 1t would have figured in the campaign it was feared. Be that as it may, il is our firm conviction that the Shenandoah can fly to the North Pole and return without difficulty.

A BRITISH TPSET

Again we have an Illustration or what can happen to a government in England when it losces an important vote in the house of parliament The Macdonald government simply steps out of the picture when a comoina- +;on of Conservatives and Liberal cartvites carry motion against the wishes of the Labor party.
 A British ministry usually is very touchy upon such matters, If some tbipg of importance against the marty in power gains headway In narIiament, the grand step-doWn takes places and the matter IS thrown to a vote of the people, Ii the vote favors the stepped-down minis trv it will step back into poWer' otherwise a ministry with another poitical complexion is formed

WALTER JOHNSON'S FAREWELL

Instead of being d hero in the world series, Walter Johnson, vet eran pitcher, turns out to be a pa thetic remnant of his former great ness. The great Walter had been in fair condition throughout the season, but in the world series, after pitching one brilliant game, he collapsed and opposing batsmen found little difficulty in battering the offerings of the 'old master"
 Johnson has pitched effective baseball for IS years and during all that long period looked forward to the time when. he could figure in a world series When the great climax finally came he collapsed, like the one horse shay. The idol of the pitching science has fallen, but it was an honorable fall. The old man remained on. the mound, taking his punishment grimly. and probably thus will end his pitching days.
 Unlike "Cy" Young, the great progenitor of the Johnson type of pitcher. Johnson has been below his previous standard in the post season clash. They didn't have world series in Young's days, but they had post series games which amounted to the same thing; in the old National league the teams that finished first and second played the series. Young was at his best in these games and 1t was next to impossible to win games against him in which he pitched during the early part of his career especially, After the Johnson fiasco, Young probably remains se- cure as the worlds greatest pitching ace of his time.
 Johnson was at a disadvantage yesterday because of the weather Old seasoned pitchers need warm weather to be at their best; yester- day was cold, snappy day, which was no kind of weather for the arm of an "old man"
 Johnson's pitched great games during his IS years on the mound and his fame will have to be based entirely upon the record of thes' games rather than upon his per formance. in the world series. SH' couldn't come through with victories because he was already too near be ing through his pitching career.

FREEDOM OF NOMINATIONS

The Republicans partyas well as the Democratic party, or any other party is privileged to nominate any one it chooses without reference 10 the details of the nominees political views. The Hartford Courant ap- pears to be a little confused as to these fine points in modern politics, but if it wishes further enlighten- ment it can communicate with Re- publican leaders in this district and ask them why they habitually join the Democrats in nominating Judge B. r. Gaffney to succeed himself in this probate district.
 Judge Gaffney is listed as having Democratic procliytes. The Re publicans arc glad to support him on their party ticket,
 The Courant wants to know when a boss is not a boss. The answer appears to be when a boss doesn't boss. There is a difference between legitimate leader who leads in democratic manner and an autocra- tic boss,
 As weird as the Democratic na- tional convention happened 10 be, its ultimate fruit was an unbossed can- didate. The weakness of the conven- | tiorg-was that it erred in the other direction and for days there was a lack of even democratic leadership. For a time it may have needed some scmblance Of autocratic control to put it back upon its feet, but even this was lacking, No one in hls senses can claim the convention was i b6sscd. and for several days, when the convention threatened to end in turmoil and disorder, wise heads prayed for a benehcent boss in the hope of bringing order out of chaos 1 But finally the convention, After dis posing of Al Smith and w. G. Me Adoo, calmed down and in an entirely democratic and rational manner halloted until John W. Davis obtain
 ed the two-thirds majority.

 New England

On Board Davis Train En Route to New York, Oct. 9.-His campaign drive in upper and western New York ended, John w. Davis, demo- cratic candidate for president, swung east today, headed for New York city to prepare for two week tour of the middle west.
 MT. Davis boarded the train im- mediately after his speech in Buff falo last night was concluded. Ha told friends who escorted him from the auditorium to the railway sta- tion, that while the New York trip had been strenuous, he felt more than compensated.

 On the western tour, scheduled to begin Friday evening MT. Davis will go first to Richmond and Indiana polls, Indiana, arriving Saturday. A swing through Lafayette and Terre Haute will be made and later visits to Springfield and East St. Louis, H., St. Louis, Nashville, Tenn, Louisville, Ky, Evansville, in Gin cinnati, Ohio and to New York city by October 25.

SLUSH FUNDS

spokesmen for the Republican party vehemently deny that "slush fund" has or is being collected to put over Coolidge in doubtful states. But nobody expected them to admit 1t,
 The, Republican, Democratic and Progressive parties need money This is legitimate necessity of parties, as with individuals. But the Repub- lican party always has had and at present enjoys a marked advantage in the accumulation of campaign funds.
 There Is no reason ts believe that the Republican campaign fund is not much the larger of the three. The c. o. P. has in it's ranks large proportion of the interests that for well known reasons want their" party to remain in power and are willing to contribute to the strong box. Corrupt practices are barred and methods have been devised to get around the law, as letters from time to time made public aptly il- iustrate.
 The Democratic party likewise needs money, but it is a matter Of general knowledge that it lacks the financial respurces of the G. o. P. because it is primarily political ene- my of the moneyed interests. Some rich men belong to the Democratic party, but for one such there are half a dozen individuals burdened with this worlds goods who belong to the Republican party.
 The Progressive party is relying upon small contributions from the rank and file, and the party is bellev- ed 10 have less financial resources than either the Republican or the Democratic parties.
 The Republicans, manifestly haV' ing by far the largest assortment o' moneyed interests to appeal to-in' deed, it is a party of the interests it therefore is logical to assume tha during a campaign which they ad milf "menaces" the continuation 0 the party in power, there wll he flow of money commensurat with the circumstances. This prooa bly means that slush fund IS penn raised.
