STALKING THE LABOR VOTE

There is a noticeable effort in various parts of the country on the part of the Socialists to capture the vote of the American Federation of Labor. The un- dertaking has been in no way success ful, despite the activities of some of the labor leaders. Organized labor is not controlled by it's leaders in the matter of voting, as has been demonstrated in more than one election. The Charlotte Observer says that in North Carolina very little of ''the goods" will Gompers be able to deliver, and our contemporary adds that evidence is already cropping out that large part of organized labor in that state will register effective ob- jections to being bartered and sold to LaFollette or any other man.
 Similar reports come from many parts of the country to indicate that a large percentage of the labor vote resents even the suggestion that it is to be dictated to as respects its support of any paftic- ular candidate or party. It has not been apparent to a very large part of what is known as the labor vote that LaFollette and his program for amelioration of workers conditions are sound. The la- bor vote is directly interested in the pros perity of the country, and is doing lot of thinking for itself. There is no evi- dence that it has confidence in LaFol- lette's ability to make good his program, even if it were promotive of the work ingman's interests.
 Making promises to get elected is one thing; fulfilling those promises is quite another. The labor vote has considered the platforms of the three parties perhaps more thoughtfully than ever before. For this reason the flare-up and trumpet blowing of the Independent, Third Party, or whatever it may be called, are appealing to the rank and file of workingmen less than when the movement was launched. Some of the workingmen will support one party and some another. It is idle to talk about delivering the labor vote to any party as whole, or anything like en masse. The interests of labor are too varied and too complex for it's leaders successfully to carry out any such under taking.

in Illinois for the execution of minors the judge felt it incumbent upon him to follow precedent. Inasmuch as the law of Illinois gives the court discretion as to whether it shall impose the death pen alty or life imprisonment, it appears that the justice was merely exercising his specific legal authority in the premises. Although the public mind has been somewhat inflamed by the sensational nature of the testimony and disclosures, sober reflection will convince that the sentence conforms strictly to the law under which it is delivered Other judges in similar situation might have taken the other view with equal logic and support of law. But that constitutes no reason for any public feeling that the court has not meted out justice, as it appeared to the court.
 It is noted also that Justice Caverly especially stresses the importance of the fulfillment of the sentence to the end, and of the individuality of the exercise of any parole or executive clemency Tn the premises. The court was in diff cult position. It is not found that the court has failed to fulfill its legal func- tion, no matter how strongly public sen- timent may have leaned to the sterner decree.

A AIouiik D,Artagnan?

Leon Trotsky, probably encouraged by
 George Bernard Shaw's cOmmendation of his first book, which G. B. S. called "the most
 marvellous piece of polemics in contemporary
 European history" is going to branch out as a 'romancier." Trotsky, according to dis patch, will write novel on the heroism, sac
 rifice and death of the communists of the Fearly days that is the November, 1917, rev olution. The book will have as title "The
 Three Communards" and Trotsky has ordered a little Trianon-like cubicle in his garden to write undisturbed. A dispatch quotes him as saying "TO write such a book as plan, one must look in a garden, one must have beau ty and air." That's probably true. But there may be too much garden. Trotsky will do
 well if he creates half the beauty and life contained in that book the title of which he
 paraphrases 'The Three Musketeers." Net Dumas had such a small garden and such pit iful quarters that once he told his son in
 solemn mockery: Alexander, open that win dow so that our garuen may nave some air.

To Be Near His Mother

President Doumergue, of France, personi- fication of the genial and gallant Midi, often visited his aged mother during the critical days of the war when he was government minister and later senator. His mother, however, thought that her son should not leave Paris and neglect his responsibilities. There is nothing here but ennui and in Paris is your work" she would tell him. To quiet her scruples, M. Doumergue had a charming idea. In the neighborhood of her home he bought a large vineyard. From that time onward he could come and visit her with out hearing the maternal protestations. In- stead, it was ''Ah, Paris can wait, you must keep your eye on the workers in the vineyard, Gaston," she would say. Just what M. Dou- mergue wanted. %..

THE COUNTY REVENUE

The growing value of taxable property dn Jefferson county, exclusive of auto- mobiles, invites the attention of the citi- zens of this progressive and rapidly ex- banding county. Some general figures are interesting in this connection. Ac- cording to the digest of the tax assessor for 1924, taxable values are $251,214,- 654, an increase of $9,109,713. If au- tomobile values are the same as last year, the total increase will exceed $13,000,000. The total values will doubtless show an even larger ratio of increase, and it is believed that the number of automobiles in the county is considerably larger than last year.
 In addition to automobile taxes the property owners will pay state and county taxes of $4,521,8 which will be an increase over the previous high mark of about $250,000. While the greater part of these revenues goes to the county, some idea of the resources available for its expenses can be under stood. If taxable values in this county continue to increase, it is said that pub lie improvements can be greatly extend ed throughout the county in a few years. At least, that is the way members of the board of revenue are reported to view the situation.
 The rapid increase in the taxable values of the county is so much the more reason why its public authorities should feel a larger measure of responsibility. They are called upon to administer nail lions of dollars of the public funds an nually. As rule there is temptation towards extravaganza and waste, without due observance of the proper economies in the administration of funds. Instead of taking steps to provide a surplus from the rapid increase of revenue to put the county on a cash basis, and provide for such expansions and emergencies as are sure to come with its growth, there is a disposition to incur further expendi- lures and even to call for bond issues to meet them. There is no better time than now to call halt with the purpose of establishing proper sinking fund and surplus. It is the incoming boards opportunity to do a distinct public service.

|C REAT consternation reigns in French \ I intellectual circles over an incident in
 Greece. There the new German ambas- sador sent the president of the Gneek repub- lie two copies of the usual discourse made by new ambassadors. One copy in French and the other in German. Upon receipt of the two copies, the Greek government asked the ambassador for the reason. He replied that he had added the German text because French is no longer the language of diplo- macy" The Greek government promptly re- turned the German text, but the incident has given rise to many violent outpourings in the French press. One Paris morning pa- per says that the blame of the disrespect for the French language is to be laid with the French statesmen at the Versailles conference. who admitted the English language on equal footing. It is true that French has always been the language of diplomacy. At the treaty of Frankfort, after the Franco-Prussian war, the negotiations were carried on in French and not even Bismarck thought anything of it. At Portsmouth, where the Russo-Jap- aneSe war ended, French was spoken and written in the treaty At Versailles, says the Figaro, we gave in to the English as we did so often and herewith played the game of Germany. The French language is inc no danger. The maxim of Riyarol: What is not clear cannot be expressed in French" is still its great strength and that's why one provision of the Versailles treaty says that if there be any doubt on any of the clauses, the French text shall be regarded as authentic and authoritative.

THE CHICAGO VERDICT

While public sentiment may suffer some disappointment at the Chicago yer dict in the Leopold-Loeb case, yet a careful reading of the judges opinion shows that he kept entirely within the law of Illinois in his decision. Although it has been suggested that the testimony of the alienists was influential in de- tracting from what might otherwise have been the death penalty, yet Justice Cav erly himself explicitly stated that "the [ xreful analysis of the defendants and of their present mental emotional and ethical condition has been of extreme in- terest and is a valuable contribution to criminology. And yet, the court feels strongly that similar analysis made of other persons accused of crime would probably reveal similar or different ab- normalities Since they concern the broad questions of human responsible ity and legal punishment, and are in no wise peculiar to these individual defend ants, they may be deserving of legisla- tive but not of judicial consideration. For this reason the court is satisfied that his judgment in the case cannot be at- fected thereby"
 The court declares that the plea of
 guilty entered without agreement with the prosecution, and the minority of the
 defendants were influential in causing
 him to give the penalty of life impris-
 onment. Because 4here is no precedent

w THEN the salty fishermen living in w weather-beaten farmhouses facing out
 to sea at the mouth of the Kennebec go down over the granite shores to their boats in the mudflat channels O mornings and find the gulls flying high, and the wind from the east, they shake their heads, for out beyond the sandspit of Popham beach across the bay the merrie-men are dancing in white spray above the black rocks. "Gonter be too rough ter go out" they say, and turn to mend ing lobster traps.
 The gulls and terms circle above Bay Point screaming challenges to the wind. A bald eagle comes circling hungrily above them. hoping they have found dead fish he can rob them of, but is driven away by black coated crows from up the inlets.
 Out beyond Seguin light, q white bank, torn to feeciness by the wind, closes in, and across the tumbling water comes the deep, melancholy cow-mooing of the outer lights's fog siren. Almost before the summer visitors are awake, the fog rolls up the Kennebec past the sugar loaves, and the bell at Pop ham is tolling. But the mist ghosts do not prevent the city mermaids from, playing in the rOllsSs- along the beach.
