 Reaching his personal headquarters after an all-night journey from Rock land. Me, Mir, Davis went into eon- ference with his field marshal. clem NJ, Shaver.

W. Bryan. 10 cooperate with the Coolidge adminl- stration in carrying out national de- fense day in September.

BUTLER MAY STAY

Gen smedley D. Butler. director ni
 public safety in Philadelphia, whom
 politicians would like to see return to
 the marine corps, whence hs came,
 may not accommodate them, The
 general has been in tho city Of Brotherly Love long enough to dis cover the why and wherefore of the machines power and Is inclined 10 remain long enough to smash the in- ner workings.
 The Philadelphia situation has at tracted nationwide attention. It Is the first successful attempt of an "out- sider" to set things to rights in an alleged stronghold of corruption It is likely that a native Philadel- phian, no matter how exalted his in- tentions, could never have attained the success of the general from the marines. Gen. Butler, in the first place, has been identified with an organization where efficiency and honesty is the first requisite, and if these two attributes are not obtained, the boss speedily finds out the reason why. Obviously, his methods were Of the high handed" variety. but there is no doubt that other methods would not have sufficed in place like Phil- adelphia, city in which reformers have been unnecessarily battling with the iniquities of corruption for years.
 Gen. Butler ought to stay and com plete the job he began so auspiciously. If he does not 1t will mean the great est victory for machine politics in the history of American cities for a gener- ation. He can at least put in few good licks before Mayor Kendrick, the reform mayor who is supposed to be courtine the favor of the machine element in his efforts to be reelected, can have an opportunity to throw him out, The general is a speedy actor and should show the mayor and the ma- | chine what a hair-raising finish looks | like before he steps out

PROBLEMS GAINING

According to figures sent out by the trolley companies of the country have showed slight advance in patronage the past year; some of them are mak- ing a little money for their stock holders.
 These statistics indicate that in 1923 the electric lines carried IS billion passengers. which is roo million more than the year previous and billion and 2 half more than in 1917. Revenues in 1923 were 2.5 per cent more than in 1922. but one per cent of this was absorbed in increa ased z operating charges
 The average of fares the country over is f-2 cents Tn 1918 the aver age of fare was 5.og cents
 The association refers to the good :. effect" Of motor bus operations where is has co-opcrated with the electric lines, and the Tess adverse effect where such operation has been in di- rect competition with the troIleys In other words. motor bussrs the coun- try over are making il less difficult for the electrics to survive. But fl should be noted that this has nothing to do with isolated cities where such competition has been of q devastating effect.
 The associattoss figures. Of course.

Egotism of Intolerance. (Ohio State Journal)

Tn aeletter to this newspaper. Rev. Dr. John Collins Jackson of Ports mouth. a retired Methodist minister, discussing the case of Gov. Smith of New York, makes these truthful and liberal statements:
 "Sectarianism is almost altogether matter of heredity, environment and education. An exchange of these conditions between his (Gov Smith's) adherents and his defamers would have made them almost 100 per cent the opposite of that which each now is. That is simply human nature"
 These facts are perfectly obvious but many people deliberately look the other way and do not see them, and that accounts for much of the re- liisous intolerance which uphappily exists. If the Methodist had been born and brought up Catholic he would be a Catholic today. and vice versa. The accident of birth and early training determines one's church affiliation, as Dr. Jackson says, in almost 100 per cent of the cases. So to feel superior 10 fellow mortal and hate and persecute him because he is not of your sect is like assuming that attitude toward him because he did not go to your pre- paratory school. Religious intoler- ance is pure egotism. than which nothing is more shallow and absurd. How do you know that you and your opinions are so much better than your neighbor and his?

 Paris, July 31.-Germanys totaI reparation payments in cash and merchandise are given as s,ioS,s3e.. 900 gold marks in a revised provi- sional statement from the reparation commission as of June 30. made pub lie today.
 About one third of this amount, consisting for the most part of book keeping credits for cables. ships sub marines. etc., remains undistributed.
 The statement shows revision in a number of credits because of re- valuation of German payments chiefly downward. There is no allowance for the costs of the American army of occupation.

HARD oN THE GOVERNOR

The conscience Of judge, In ad-
 nilnisterins the death penalty 10 a convicted murderer is clear. He con. soes himself with Inc thought that the jury found the victim guilty and he merely applied the penalty pro- ,ided by law.
 But frequently in such cases the governor Of the state is asked to grant reprieve or 10 change the death sem tence to Imprisonment. The governor is made 10 believe that he. being in fhe nature of court of last resort is responsible for the execution if he permits it. The claim usually is un- fair but one can, with slight exercise Of the imagination, realize the emo lions of governor when confronted with the necessity of making such decision.
 Gov. Cox of Massachusetts the other day was faced with this dilemma. If memory serves rightly. 1t was not the first time that he had to choose be- tween letting the death penalty take its course or changing the sentence to Imprisonment. Fortunately, he had no evil precedents behind him, and he could act in conformity with justice and the law unswayed by maudlin sympathy.
 The Massachusetts governor had be- fore him the case of one Cyrille J.. Vandenhecke, who had murdered the husband of woman with whom he previously had eloped Vandenhecke vehemently protested his innocence and the governor was told by his at- torney that if he changed the sentence of death to life Imprisonment he was convinced new evidence favorable to the prisoner would be unearthed.
 Such claim will put any gover- nor in a quandary. The Massachu- setts executive critically examined all the evidence and rightly decided to snermit the death sentence of the court to stand. The man went to his death proclaiming his innocence; and there doubtless were many persons in Mass achusetts who concluded that an in- nocent man was put to death.
 The governor of state should not be expected to function as court of last resort. It is the business of the | courts, not the governor, to try prison CTS. By reviewing the evidence and | listening to the opinions of counsel for the condemned man, and likewise ob- faining the opinion of the prosecuting | attorneys and perhaps other experts, | the governor was forced to give quite as much time to the case as re- viewing judge would haze done. h. deed, the governor in effect acted as reviewing jurist It must be said to his credit, as to the credit of other governors when confronted with similar situations that he went to infinite pains to fulfill the onerous task unnecessarily imposed upon him.
 When criminals are convicted by the courts after fair and impartial trials, governors should not be forced to function as a final court in vain attempt by defense counsel to win their cases for their clients.

ROBBED HAIR SITUATION"

Women citizens, or women whe
 vote, may be greatly or mildfy-ws
 believe the latter-agitated over the i political situation; but unless we are more mistaken than customary when contemplating the inner workings oi lovely woman's mind, their thoughts also are somewhat engrossed with the
 infinite varieties and possibilities Of
 bobbed hair.
 Consider the woman in Salem,
 Mass, who celebrated her s2nd birth
 day by having her hair bobbed. Mrs.
 Eliza Heffernan is her name. Her
 verdict, after the barber had done his
 best-or his worst-was that she
 felt like 1S."
 Now if bobbed hair makes woman
 of S2 feel that way, there is no longer any need to seek the fountain of per-
 petuial youth of Ponce de Leon fame. This woman experienced its effects
 when her locks were shorn, and in a
 jolly frame of mind she danced a jig, forgetting to use the cane with which she previously had tottered around.
 Barbers who have been doing the bobbing have been forced to acquire special schooling to do d neat job. This has become so onerous in some cities that specialists are being developed among the craft who consider them selves superior to the shears and razor wielders of the average crafesman. The specialists do not claim that 1t requires a college education and an art course to bob hair properly, but they do claim that it is essential for ba rbers to "go to school" to learn the tricks. Of course, these experts be- lieve they require a larger income, commensurate with their skill which women are willing 10 pay. it appears.
 At the convention of the American Cosmeticians society in Chicago the astounding information was broadcast that expert bobbing barbers are doom- cd by new invention, nothing less than false bobs which can be worn over any assortment of hair. By fall' 1t is predicted nearly everybody VIII be wearing false bobs," and that 1t von't make any difference what style is desired. Shingled, Dutch, snakes, hips, hottle-epener or any other special bob can be secured from hair goods merchants. it Is announced. Since these false bobs merely slip over the hair "as it is now worn," it is stated. there will be no trimming to 1o."
 But that kind of false bob must be | ike false teeth--an imitation of the | .cnI thing which nobody will care | bout so long as she has real hair to | ipge. Half the thrill of bobbing hair, { is said. is contemplating the loss Of he cherished locks-cherished since ,irlbood-and then the moving process al the hands Of the barber pecialist. \ false bob. we take It. .nuid not have made the Sslem wom- Tn feel like fS:" it requires the genu- ne article 10 bring that about.
