The New York Campaign.

On the eve OF the close of the New
York campaign the usual guesses and
predictions are in order. The fight
for the governorship and the senator
ship has been conducted with anima-
lien, with some vituperation toward
the fifth time for the highest State
ONCE, has been attacked by Repre-
sentative Mills, his Republican op-
ponent, on several issues, notably the
question Of the milk supply and lat
teriy the question of control OF the
power resources of the State. Mr..
Mills has driven valiantly against the
governors remarkable popularity, and
there arc evidences that he has
thrown a scare" into the Democratic
organization. Yesterday the Repub-
lican State chairman predicted vic
tory for Mills by 10000 plurality.
When asked what he thought about
this prediction. Gov. Smith replied:
George X. Morris is a nice young
fellow. He personally told me that he
knew nothing about politics. and that
ha did not know how he ever got into
it. That expression from him to me
gave rise to no argument. admitted
IT."
This left.handed indication OF the
governors confidence has caused
Tammany to chortle with glee, and
some OF his metropolitan supporters

get a majority of not less than a
quarter of . million. Much depends,
however, on the size Of the governors
majority II he does. indeed, win the
election. In 1924. while Coolidge was
carrying the State by $4,000, Smith
was elected governor by 100000 over
Roosevelt. Smiths political fortunes
are in a way at stake. II he should
be elected by less than 100000 this

A Peril or a Blessingf

Discovery of a new ray is an.
nounced, in terms which arouse high
expectations Of fresh wonders of
science. This ray, styled cathode.
has been heretofore suspected. prac.

x.ray tube, and has now been Eek
tracfed" from the tube by DR.. w. D.
Coolidge Of the General Electric Co.
That marks the second stage Of the
research. It now remains for some
one to find means Of controlling this
terribly powerful force and making
it subservient to medical science. At
present 1t is merely destructive. H.
lustration is given of it's sinister quail

discovery has been proclaimed as a
step toward advance in medical
science. Plainly 1t Is thse hope that
this newly found or isolated power
may be applied to healing rather than
to destruction. Much has been &C.

The process Of splitting up the mys-

apparently endless. Several rays"
have been identified, each with its

THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES E. TRACEWELL.

| Each eminent politician is so con-
vinced, himself. and each one so con-
vincing to us-as we listen to him
| that We wonder which one. after all.
| is correct. And if we cannot settle so
| simple a subject as the tariff, what
| can we settle?
The discriminating will prize a GER
tain ruggedness In writing above
smooth facility in handling words.
The latter may be learned by almost
any one. but the ability to pack mean
ings between lines is born in one.
The proper use of connectives Is of
small moment compared to the usage
of ideas.
The short story that secures the ef-
feet desired by the writer Is greater
than q "prose poem," whatever that
is. eve once thought we knew, but
have come to doubt our knowledge.)
In music there has been sharp re-
sentiment of the old idea that melody
must just flow along. Exponents Of
modern dissonance may not be right
in their theories, but, at least, they
are interesting.
Personally, we hold the opinion that
Richard Wagner would be the world s
greatest composer, beyond peradven-
turte, If he had possessed a more me-
lodic gift.
Wagner was rugged. More inven-
ton in the way Of genuine tunefulness
would have made him soften down his
grand outbursts to music we could
more easily understand ,>
This great composer was a child Of
nature. He had no more regard for
our civilized ideas Of smoothness than
has the ocean when it goes on a RAM
page. He was rough and ready with
his notes. He surged, where others
went softly. He was vital, at least.
Smooth prettiness perhaps plays a
larger part in painting and sculpture
than in the other arts. Here it is not
so much a matter Of originality as of
showing what has existed. A too pho
tographic art, however. being general.
ly decried, the artist has opportunity
to inject some of the ruggedness
pleasing in the other arts. This may
do in a variety of ways. so long as
he does not violate the civilized can
ons Of good taste.
Architecture. involving mathe-
matics, must hew closer to the line,
hence we have no futuristic buildings.
but edifices that reflect, at their best,

was the Gothic cathedral, and such
is the giant Office building Of today.
In landscape gardening a certain
informality, taking into account nat
ural features of work already pres
ent is preferred to too rigorous ad-
herence to an immaculate prettiness.
In the last analysis, it is seen that
the somewhat rugged is the natural.
and the natural after all, is the most
acceptable, whether it be in manners,
clothes, music, buildings, paintings,
writing, gardening, or what not.
This pleasing naturalness, too, is
mostly secured by allowing the innate
forces Of Nature to flow freely. Hence
it is less trying on human nature, as
work, and more acceptable to the ma
jority Of human beings. as works. 1t
is this certain good ruggedness which
makes Key Bridge neighborhood In
teresting, as we'll as "Lohengrin"

The Nations remarkable confidence
in the Marines Is exemplified by the
general assumption that mail robbing
will be suppressed, now that the Devil
Dogs" again are on guard. 1t Is taken
for granted that the Marines will do
the job in characteristic fashion and
will shoot to kill and first --- when
necessary.
"It is just as we'll to remember" the
New York Sun points out. that the
Marine on duty bound Is no person to
waste time in light persifiage with
those who seem to him to be interfer-
ing with his work. He is likely to hit
or shoot first and ask questions after
ward. For such a policy in the per-
formance of his new task it will be
hard to blame him. The bandits who
recently robbed a mail truck In New
Jersey gave none of the custodians
the slightest chance to protect himself.
They came up shooting and went away
shooting. Since that is the accepted
technique Of modern mail robbery, 1t
would scarcely be fair to blame those
whose duty is to protect the mails if
they also should prove themselves
ready with club, fist or the trigger
I'm other words" the Manchester
Union Is convinced, common sense
will dictate denial Of Indulgence in
idling near spots where the guards are
on duty. There may be curiosity to

visable to crafty this at long range.
The Government Is In earnest in it's
determination to check the depreda-
tions Of the gangs of mail robbers,
and the corps has orders to shoot
when necessary. Skilled marksmen
as the Marines are, there can be no
guarantee of safety for bystanders un-
lucky enough to be made a cover for
a gang raid. The rule of safety will
be to give the Marines plenty Of elbow
room. and 1t will be a mighty good
rule to follow"
