FAvoRs THE FAvoRrrE SON

The Boston Post, an independent Democratic newspaper with the largest circulation in New England, announces that 1t proposes to sup port Calvin Coolidge. mot because he is a Republican but in spite of It."
 We are not blind to the short comings Of the Republican party In the past four years" the Post says by way of explanation. Much of it's record is little short of disgraceful. As a party 1t does not deserve to win. Calvin Coolidge does"
 The paper refers to its duty" as a New England newspaper to sup port New England president. The favorite son idea seems to be the guidepost of its reasoning, which includes tho following:
 Amid all the admitted wrong do- ing of the Republican regime, our New England president stands out clean and blameIess. He inherited a situation which would have crush ed a clear headed and resolute man. He grappled with 1t courageously and efficiently"
 When the Post goes as far as that it appears to be mangling the record. In the first place. President Harding himself stood out as "clean and blameless" as any president could have done, Harding's fault, as virtu- ally everyone is agreed, was that he permitted hard-boiled politicians to enter the government under the mis- taken belief that they were. soft boiled. He did not live to see the exposure of how they violated the trust he placed in them. Coolidge inherited situation" but whether he "grappled with 1t courageously and efficiently" remains in doubt; in- deed, there is evidence that he en- deavored to help the administration out of the slough of scandal 50 as to tighten Its political burdens and improve the future outlook. Coolidge acted cautiously, but not necessarily "coura geously and efficiently" He had virtually nothing to do with the house cleaning process and in fact can be accused of helping to throw technical Instructions in the path of investigations.

ANOTHER REAR-END COLLISION

On the Pennsylvania railroad In Maryland freight train is derailed, Before trainmen have time to run to the rear in an effort to flag an ex- press train the latter bowls into the wreckage, overturning the locomo- tive. By a miracle no lives were lost.
 This was another instance of trains being operated too closely to- gether. Only afew weeks ago a wreck was caused on the New York Central for similar reason. It is about time that the Interstate Com merce Commission, which is sup posed to dominate the railroads, took a hand and enforced few common sense rules.

 Essen, Sept. 13.--Almost 4s per cent of the area affected by the Franco Belgian occupational advance of January 1923 has already been evacuated and the foreign troops now are virtually only occupying Prussian territory which is not in- cluded in the provisions of the treaty.
 The French have also dismantled their intelligence service and have otherwise encouraged the belief among tn native population that the system of invisible evacuation new being carried out will result in com plete liberation of the Ruhr consid- erably earlier than the date guar anteed by Premier Herriot of France at the London conference.

OVERRIDING THE FIELD

to make one newspaper grow where two grew before in New York city appears to have failed. MT Munsey, regarded by many critics as the greatest dealer in metropolitan news- papers of modern times, must look askance at developments since his recent elimination of the New York Herald through its amalgamation with the New York Tribune.
 The outlook now is that New York city promises to be oversupplied with newspapers, or supplied to the ex- treme saturation point. The held there is enormous, of course, but it is doubtful if it hasn't its limitations, even in the promulgation of such silly journalism as few of the new corners are following.
 Two additional newspapers have been started since Mir. Munsey Kill ed" the New York Herald. and an- other publication is to open shop next week. The late newcomers are F. w. Enwrights Bulletin and Hearst's tabloid Mirror" The latest newcomer is to be Bernar Macfad- den's Graphic" to be published next week.
 Mir Munsey has been one of the most successful business men ana accumulators of money in the me- tropolis, but those very qualities that have made of him a successful deal- CT in grocery stores and hotels, ana made him a good stock market pa- iron. have worked against him as a newspaper publisher, in the opinion of many observers. The newspaper business requires more than business training and more than an eye for profit. It is business Of service 10 the public, much of which cos's money and brings no returns except good will. The servitor must have the unstinted confidence of the pubic and must not conduct his enterprise as q mere business institution A newspaper has nothing to sell out advertising space, and the greater the good will and confidence or the ,uh,ic toward the publication, and ths more thoroughly the public N carved through the news columns and the other features of the paper tho greater inc value of the space Efficiency as a newspaper begets CIT culation, good will and confidence

Mrs. Vannels divorce suit was the one topic which kept even the oldest club members awake. Just fancy winning a decree with parrot as chief witness for the plaintiff. Un- usual but it was snappy evidence. Mrs. Vannel had been at the shore for the hot months and upon her re- turn the bird greeted her with: "Oh, Van, I know it's wrong, but do love you" Anything is right when two people love each other like we do. little girl" "Wilf you promise you'll never tell a single soul?'' There was more, much more. The judge cleared the court and heard the rest of the parrots evidence in chambers. He must have enjoyed 1t, for Mrs Vannel won her divorce.
 So we were waiting to rag" Van the old Don Juan. Presently he ar- rived and the first question was: Well, Casanova. didn't you have sense enough to put the parrot ir another room while you were mak- ing love?"

FIRE IN SUBWAY
Motor Catches-Panic Among Pas scngers on Train

New York. Sept. 13,--Several hundred passengers on a southbound Lexington avenue subway train were panic stricken today when the motor of the train caught fire after a short circuit. Hospital surgeons treated several persons for minor injuries and hysteria.

 Police reserves were called out to clear crowds from the platform and subway entrances and exits.

\ LONG 90 YEARS

Young Leopold and Young Loeb who today are being initiated into the mysteries of penitentiary life at Joliet, H., have gone through their first thrill, that of solitary confine- ment for one day. The young in- tellectuals had an opportunity to ponder upon the hardships of this world, and also to rest up prepara- tory to the long, hard grind at man. ual labor, which. on the face of the verdict. will be their portion for the remainder of their earthly existence.
 Nothing like getting used to it." The prison warden told them dryly. But the trouble is in getting used to 1t.
 At a. m. every morning except Sunday, when the prisoners are all lowed to sleep until a. m., Messrs. Leopold and Loeb will have to leave the hard scantlings of their beds. Half an hour for the ablutions, and then a scanty and frugal meal. Then sharply at the hard manual labor of the day begins. Dispatches do not say what particular jobs the two ex- millionaires' sons will have except 1t is hinted the jobs will be hard and onerous. The prison warden has read all about their atrocious crime and blandly told reporters the slayers won't have any white collar sinecures at his establishment. He added the youths would be kept separate and might never be able to speak to each other again.
 Another frugal meal at noon, and then hard labor until the shades of evening descend. A few hours for "recreation." consisting of an oppor- tunity to cultivate remorse, and then all to bed at p. m., and lights out in all the cells. No pleasure trips, no automobiing, no friendships no flap pers, no bright fights, no frivolity- nothing but the dank depths of a living death.
 Same old grind every day; much toll, just enough food to keep alive, early to bed and early rising. A lifetime of tiff the sentence is car ried out.
 As Judge Caverly rightfully ob- served, two brilliant young men like Leopold and Loeb, who had every ad- vantage to become acquainted with the vanities and opportunities of life will suffer such punishment much more than the average type of crim' inaI, whose mind is too dull to plumt the depths of such poignant suffer ing.
 The two intellectuals entered then tomb with smile. But this smile will wear off; their lips will lose tho red bloom of youth and will become bloodless; their cheeks will pallor their heads droop; the life Of a con vict will begin to wear them dowl to the beast-like level of the others
 But their thoughts will always b . with them-thoughts of terror an' remorse, of the knowledge that the! threw themselves away upon a sei of thrills that led but to the hVinl tomb
