SENATOR MCLEAN RTTTIES THE WELKIN

Senator McLeap's address at the Republican state convention was like a breath from olden times, when men were men and all poli- ticians were statesmen. He gave q candid exposition of the genuine article in politlral doctrine - not at all unlike that which will be stressed in the 1926 and 1928 campaign hook - mixed in some personal belief, which he carefully annotated as such, and then added q lace of Mclean humor. He was in good form. fuIl of those little deviltries Of speech which at their best have always given q certain distinctive Individuality 10 the ut tcrances Of the senior senator. For tuncately he does not give the pub- lie so much as Of his verbal pab- ulum aa to threaten overlooking. 4 speech by Mclean still has the flavor of novelty.
 AS was the custom of spcllbind- CTS q generation ago, Senator Nc Lean included a discussion Of eco monies.
 How arc we going 10 continue 10 get from tho consumers more money than. they are paid by the producers?". he ssl5s. 'It must be done If the producer is to continue 10 make money" And then; How are they (the American producers) going 10 supply the purchasing public with moro money than they are paid by the producing public"

TELEPHONE NS. BOX
 ALARMS

Chief W. J. Noble of the fire de- partment, who some time ago warned citizens that telephone alarms were not as definite and conclusive as box alarms, the send CT. of telephone alarms frequently being too excited to give an ac- curate account of where the lire happens to be located, now has modified his views to the extent Of warning the public not to ring Tn box alarms for trivial fires.
 A telephone alarm, he ayers, IS enough for trivial fire because the party of the first part can tell the fire company it happens to be trivial, and that they do not need to hurry along every pound of available luggage, as is frequently the case when an alarm is sent in from certain boxes.
 This is we'll and good. Tse main point, however, remains. The fel- low doing the telephoning ought to watch his talk and not claim a conflasration Is in progress up here near the sand patch when all he means to say is that the Kitchen range is smoking.

FRANCES CALL FOR REDUCING ARMS

In proposing an early conference upon disarmament, the sincerity of France cannot be questioned. The proposal closely follows announce ment of a material voluntary re- duction of the French army and indicates the Partisan government is thoroughly convinced the future looks secure. This conclusion, of course, is predicated upon the go- ing into effect of the Locarno treaties and the admission of Ger many into the League of Nations. No reasonable man would need any further evidence of the good will being engendered by the Geneva Organization.
 The French war ministrys plans for reducing tFr army will be a sterling contribution to that na- tional economy which the nation needs in it's efforts to stabilize the franc and balance its budget. The minimum age of conscription will be raised 10 21. thus cutting down materially on the 1927 and 1928 recruiting totals. The present IS months term of compulsory enlist mcnt is 10 be replaced by a 12 months term, which also will re- duce the totals materially. How much progress has been made can be judged from the fact that dur ing the period before the World War the term of enlistment was three years.
 The call Of NJ Paul Boncourt at Geneva for a general conference of disarmament at the earliest pos sible date will do considerable to obitcrate the recent technical dis cord in the military subcommis- sion which considered the possi- bility. The report at Geneva that the American administration was watching the actions Of the Euro pcan nationals as 10 disarmament with much displcasurc. likewise had is effect.

NEW PHASE IN CASE OF SAC(O AND NAN/I.TTI

The Sacco- Nanzeti case, the Massachusetts cause cclcbre of five years standing, which has created more world wide rcvcrbcrations than any modern murder convic- ton, is due for an additional louche of the spotlight. William C. Thompson. one of the foremost members Of the Boston bar, a Rack Bay silk stocking" lawyer of he highest type. has thrown him self heart and soul into the case, saying the men are innocent The alleged confession made by Clcstino Madciros. condemned murderer absolvlng Sacco and Vanzetti, fig ures as the trump card of the de- fense. in addition 10 the testimony of 63 persons read into the records by the new defense attorney in an effort 10 obtain retrial,

Gence as to it's need, a new trial should and probably will be grant, ed. At any rate, he is prepared to take the matter to the Supreme Court. Particularly is it important 10 get to the bottom of the charges frequently made that the convic- ton of the two men was due to their allcted political leanings rather than for any other reason. Heretofore the defense has lacked the public confidence which Thomp- son radiates. With this foremost and unimpeachable Boston lawyer working in their behalf Sacco and Vanzetti are most certain 10 get square deal and proper considera- ton. The popular reaction will be that if Thompson is sure of his grounds, it Is well for others to hesitate before coming to final opinion.

and naturally the G. o. P. gets the credit. Tt would appear" he says that our industrial prosperity is based for the most part upon ris- ing prices There are some grave questions" and san in crease in price means nothing more than a corresponding de- crease in the purchasing power Of the dollar.' Thoughts of attempts to decrease the cost oliving still survive, and some may have been under the impression this was be- ing done: but - well, there they are. some more "buts." Tho "buts' and the ifs" however, must be well taken care of by the-(pause for thinking purposes)-we have 1.-the tariff.
 The senator's booming upon the tariff was strictly orthodox, in keeping with the opinions of those who benefit most thcrefrom. Few in these parts will find fault with it. The senator wasn't speaking in Iowa, Nebraska or Wisconsin.
 We've got to elect men who un- derstand the fundamentals of things. Most Of those who are run ming may be lax, but then, they cant all be McLeans or Binghams.
 His tribute to the League of Na- tions was in line with what he all ways believed. He favored American entry under the Lodge reservations; and he voted for the World Court. He is proud of his record and is not wavering on these points.
 His position on the wet and dry question lends a clue to explaining the position of the administration. To make an issue of the temper ance question means the election of Democrats, If 1t means any thing; and it also means minority victories" We don't know about the latter, not being sufficient of a prophet 10 know such things; but we have no doubt about the advan- tage to the Democrats if they were to make this an issue. The same reasoning would lead to the as sumption that those Democrats who, like the Republicans, soft pedal the issue simply help the grand old party.
 As we said at the beginning, Sen ator Mclean is worth his salt. He does not deal in pish-tosh more than the exigencies Of politics de- mand. He is frank, and engagingly humorous without "riling" the butt of his jokes. One cannot help thinking he would lead the party in the state to more liberal pas lures if he seized the wheel in- stead of being content to steer from the back seat.

 The total vote was smaller b, more than 67,000 than that cast il the last election two years ago Mayor Mclean and other democra tic leaders declined to comment oi the significance of this fact. Cover nor Brewster said early today:
 Both republican and democrati, leaders in the nation have empha sized the significance of the vote il Main. The normal vote in an of year reflects the satisfaction of th, citizens of Maine with the republi can administration in state and na ton. The policies of President Cool idge meet with cordial endorsement here in Maine"

COLONEL OSBORN AND
 MIR. IONERGAN

Colonel Norris G. Osborn, editor of the New Haven Courier-Journal, appears to be journalist first and a politician never. For a politician would have warmed the cookies ot his heart over the suggestion made by former Congressman Augustin I,orergan that he be the Demo- cratic nominee for the |. 5. Sen ate. Colonel Osborn, instead of be- ing pleased at this public mention Or the publicity as the mod erns term it - gives indication Of having become slightly peeved thereat. If the former congress- man didn't desist in using the coloneTs name so "carelessly," by lingo, the colonel would never support Lonergan flor any office" And thus the verbal skirmish ends.
 We do not wish to get the col oneps dander directed against us but we are bound to make the ob- servation that he would make a capable senator, one who would know how to do battle for the public veal and who no doubt would make his voice heard in the national assemblage to advantage of himself, his constituents and the nation at large. The colonel is one Of those who is not afraid to have his say at the right and prop CT time. and who never finches about saying the right thing in the most forceful manner.
