is difficult to understand western psychology; but judging from a de- tailed dispatch in yesterdays Herald. the charges made against Dawes have largely gone unanswered by Dawes during his western speaking tour, which naturally lends an air Of suspicion 10 the situation,
 It is rather farletched to claim that the La Toilette party and Brook hart are In conspiracy to Injure the Republicans in Iowa If the charges against Dawes, which he appears to ignore except by calling the instiga- tors Of the charges "pee-wlts" and other innocuous names, remain an unanswered issue to westerners.
 It is fair to expect Dawes himself to clear himself of the charges, and if he cannot do so the cries of con spiracy appear quite worthless.

THE UNIVERSAL BUS

A few days ago the Boston & Maine railroad eliminated use of a gasoline coach on one of its im- portant branch lines and placed a motor bus in operation on a parallel road.s
 IL has been comparatively recent that the development of the gasoline coach for use of railroads on poorly paying branch lines was hailed as the coming developme One railroad, the Ann Arbor. which runs into Michigan, adopted the gasoline coach on an extensive scale; others were supposed to be ripe for the in- novation where traffic conditions were supposed to merit it. Patrons on parts of the New Haven in Con- necticut have been clamoring for 1t.
 Yet here is the Boston and Maine deliberately giving up the gasoline coach in favor of busses. preferring to run only freight trains on the branch line from which the gasoline vehicles were taken.
 The bus is an all-conquering vehi- cle. Models have been seen passing through New Britain. evidently en route. from manufacturer to the places where they were to be used, which suggested Pullman car com fort.
 Every passenger buses carry is business lost 10 other transportation companies unless said concerns, like the Boston & Maine, themselves go into the bus business.

THE PENNSY's INCOME

Although the Pennsylvania rail- road reported a decrease of ss,5oO,- GOO in operating revenues in August, the decrease in operating expenses was s10,437, 900, so that the net revenue from operations yielded a gain of nearly s600,000.
 The record from the first of the year, however, was not as hearten- ing, there having been a decrease of more than $5, 800, 900 in operating income compared with the same months the previous year.
 The Pennsylvania, operating be- tween the largest cities of the coun- try, is regarded as a comfortable in deX as to railroad conditions.

MODERN PREACHING

Ministers of the gospel nowadays are faced with greatly intensified | problem-the problem of whetting the interest of folks a goodly pro. portion of whom have good intel Iccts, are well read, have a catholcl- ty Of taste based on liberal educa- ton, and sometimes know-or think they know-as much about some subjects as the preacher
 The modern preacher faces much more critical audience than was the case half d century ago. The audience desires good oratory, the merger of a vivid presentment of facts and opinions with good pulpit presence.
 It is to the credit of our modern ministers that there are so many men of high attainments and some distinction who are glad to be identi fed with the churches. They not only find no fault with the preachers, but nine times out of ten are a source of inspiration to the clergyman.
 The advances in general knowl- edge have been so rapid the past three or four decades that methods of presenting the gospels message have been affected considerably. Old time emotionalism seems to have largely disappeared. There remain some preachers of an evangelistic type who depend more upon arous- iEg the emotions than upon .stimulat- ing the intellect but their number has dwindled. The modern evange. list is of a different type than the old-time haranguer before whom folks cried aloud for mercy and wept and shouted hallelujahs.
 Perhaps it would be an advantage to have some of this in our blase day; but it is a question open to too much debate to discuss in a short article. A preacher must combat con- ditions as he finds them and the con- ditions appear to demand less emo- tionalism, more intellectually and forceful presentation of the religious message.
 Considered as a whole our pulpit utterances arc of a high grade, well worthy of the great cause of righte- ousness and religion the speakers represent. Most of them gain results commensurate with their efforts. There are dark patches in the world. but sincere dispensers of the faith iu all churches carry the torch of good will and brotherly love to the dark places. The result of their combined efforts to improve and perfect civili- zation cannot be ovcrestimatcd,

AN EDICT AGAINST KISSING

An edict against kissing Natural ly, the place is Russia.
 If Dr. Nicholas semashko, soviet commissioner of health in Moscow expects his edict to be obeyed in all instances he possesses a naivete com- mensurate with Kindergarten actiyi- ties.
 Of course, the Russian system of elaborate kissing ceremonies upon meeting friends informally, and the national custom by men of kissing the hands of lady friends when they meet them, are two ridiculous methods of showing pleasure.
 But the right kind of kissing un- der the proper circumstances
 We'll we think young Master Cupid has much more power, even in the soviet, than the health commissioners

Worcester Telegraph.
 The Bristol Press has closed its advertising and news columns to anything from the "discredited La Toilette camp"
 The motives of the Press cannot be questioned Neither can it's right 10 do as it pleases, regarding what 1t shall or shall not print. But The Press in taking it's attitude of sup pression has ceased to be genuine newspaper. It becomes merely distributor of part of the news. It becomes practically propagandist.
 If The Press is convinced of the danger of the La Toilette candidacy it ought to be able to convince its readers of this danger. The only Nay to do this is 10 give in it's news columns extracts of MT. La Fonette's speeches and then to at tack these speeches in its editorial columns. The Press, by doing what it can 10 keep it's readers from Knowing anything about MT.

BUILDING COMMISSION TAKES RIGHT VIEW

The building commission appears to be acting with proper caution in failing to pass Sayorably upon cer- tain petitions for building permits. When Chairman I, Wexer opined that 1t was time the commission watched it's step, he made a remark freighted with wisdom; and if the commission sticks to that notion it will be serving the public valiantly.
 The building situation just at this moment is at critical point so far as types of buildings to be permitted in certain sections are concerned. As Chairman Wexer pointed out, there is the probability of the long, -talked-s of zoning regulations going into ef- feet, and human nature being what 1t is. a number of petitioners can be reasonably suspected of attempting to obtain the right to construct the wrong kind of buildings in the wrong neighborhood before the zoning gulations are definitely established.
 The zoning idea is beyond the realms of argument; its value is un- questioned in the large number of cities where it has teen placed into effect. But such law requires CO., operation from all departments of city government, and also from all citizens who have no desire to take advantage of conditions prior to its establishment.
 The building commission should lot only sit tight, but sit tighter. If care is not exercised in passing upon petitions for structures much Of the wholesome and valuable effect of the zoning regulations will have been vitiated before they go into effect. In such a case the final application Of zoning law would he like locking the garage door after the automobile is stolen.

|GOULDS ACCUSED
 .0F CROOKED DEAL
Attorney Charges They Used S2
 Million Estate for Own Ends

New York, Oct. i.--Charges that George Jay Gould and Edwin Gould entered into an agreement to use the money and securities of the sse,- 100000 Gould estate to further their private ambitions. and that George Gould destroyed his personal records and accounts in 1914. were made at the hearing for an accounting yester- day by Walter J. Walker, attorney for Frank Gould.
 The attorney. speaking for Frank Gould and his sister. Anna, now the Duchess de Talleyrand. made these statements in demanding that the trustees, who also included two other heirs, Howard Gould and Mrs. Fin ley. Shepard, restore to the estate money lost in deals which violated the provisions of the will of Jay Gould, father of the six children and founder of the estate. 4
 Frand Gould and the duchess ask cd the accounting on the grounds that since they were minors in 1892 when their father died, they were not appointed executors, and their interests had not been properly pro- tected. One of the provisions they allege was violated was that the will stated the estate should be kept in six separate parts, for the benefit Of each. whereas 1t had been com mingled.
 In this process, MT. Walker stated, the sound assets, consisting of bonds, mortgages, etc., had shrunk from 10 per cent to one per cent.
 He charged that George Gould. had lost s3.ooo, 900 in one transaction when he changed the holdings in the Missouri Pacific railroad from. Ia comparatively small portion of pre- ferred stock without voting power to stock represeting thirty pef cent of tn eroad's capital, that he might control 1t. ..
 MT. Walker asserted that out of the deal Edwin obtained the Mis- souri and Southwestern.
 The hearing will be continued Monday.

GHPATRIC's PLEAS

c. Harold Gilpatric, who IS charg- Ad with having distracted s700'oOO from the assets o1 the First National bank at Putnam during a period Of seven years, faces 33 counts in hls indictment. The number is consider sble and it is not surprising that the sorrer state treasurer will plead not guilty to some Of them.
 The average indictment usually contains every count prosecutor can reasonably get into it. We haven't seen the Gilpatrc indictment and it probably is long document hut even if Gilpatric denies some oI inc s9 counts the probabilities are ,bere will be enough of them left to which he pleads guilty to warrant summary punishment.
 The peculiar feature of the Gill .atr,c embezzlement remains that a,,r,pp the seven years of his alleged nec,,lations at the bank federal ,anr examiners made two eXamina- lions every year, or fourteen in all No shortages ever were disclosed oS .,,a examiners. The bank had cap
  ,tal of $500, ,Ooo and deposits of Sl'- 100 oO5 and more than half Of the total was abstraeted and the eA- sminers didn't notice it!

IOWA REPUBLICAN
 CALLSIT A BOLT
Insist That Bro0khart Has Left
 the t. Q. P.
By The Associated Press.

By The Associated Press.
 Des Moines, Ia, Oct. 4.--Senetor Smith w. Brookhart yesterday threw down the gauntlet to the national and state republican organizations with an attack on the records of President Coolidge and Charles G. Dawes the republican nominees for president and vice-president and in doing so announced "a repudlation of and bolt from the republican party" according to report of the Iowa republican central committee.
 The committees report declared that the senator had by his public utterances made seif-impelled bolt from the party.
 This bolt, the report said, was the result of conspiracy to defeat the right of the people to elect a presi- dent at the polls" thereby throwing the election into congress.
 Tt is our belief" the report con- tinued, that this action on the part of Senator Brookhart has been in- spired by the heads of the LaFollette party for the malicious purpose Of attempting to turn the attention Of voters from the real issues of the campaign.
 While the committee was still de- batting it's course. Senator Brookhart was delivering his address at Elm metsburg, in which he attacked the president and explained that points of issue between President Coolidge and himself. He departed from his set speech only to include state.- ment he made public earlier in the day in which he again called upon. the Republican National Committee to ask for the resignation of MT, Dawes.
