PART TINE SCHOOLING
ONLY TEMPORARY

Although it Is deeply disappoint-
ing to the city that the beginning
Of the present school year cannot
see the elimination Of part time,
1t is gratifying to learn that this
Irritating change in plans will be
only temporary, or until the new
buildings are. completed.
Buildings are not erected by a
wave of the hand. however, and
citizens who have taken the trou-
Bic to inspect the shells of those
under construction are prepared to
vouch for the elaborate work ne
cessary. And as there has been con-
siderable rain. the work naturally
suffered somewhat from this cause.
The main thought in connection
with the buildings should be that
when they are completed they will
be a source of pride to the city. In
the case of the two elementary
buildings under construction, none
quite as fine has ever been con-
structed in the city before. As one
observer stated, they have every
thing but a swimming pool. But
49,, 49, rat hoipo noctr,,cta5 for
the present only, but to meet the
demands for at least 80 years; and
is. it to be hoped that 80 years
from now they will not be deemed
greatly out-of-date.
The buildings will all be in use
before the first of the year, at the
latest; and possibly earlier. The
part time scheme will set back
several thousands Of pupils to
some extent, but there seems to be
no other way out of the jam. The
school committee has the conf
denee of citizens generally and one
Is safe in concluding IT is doing
the best within its power. One
might feel inclined to find fault
with the contractors, but this no
doubt would be unjust considering
the large orders they have under
taken, and the circumstances I'M
der which they have been COM
PEELED 10 labor. All will be well in
time.

Political campaigns eliminating
in the congressional and senatorial
elections of November will be
the first to be governed by the new
federal corrupt practices act of
1895.
But the limitations of expendi-
lures provided in the new act sup
ply only to the final election in No
vember, and not to expenditures in
primary campaigns.
The only recourse Of Congress
against those elected, but whose
nominations were due to "exces-
sive" primary expenditures, is to
deny them admission to their
seats.
Congress is given the right to de-
eide the fitness of an elected men,
Der, and those in whose behalf too
much money vas expended in
primaries can be adjudged unfit to
take their seats.

A BIG YEAR FOR
CHANNEL SWIMMING

Nearly every year has seen
swimmers attempting to plough
their way through and across the
English channel; but this year has
seen more such efforts made than
ever before. And more successful
attempts than ever took place in
any one year.
Although there have been major
successes this year, there also
were major failures; but one hears
less OF the failures than of the
successes. ...
1t is just as difficult to swim the
channel as it ever was, but we
know more about swimming.
The victory of Ernst Vierkoetter
in breaking all channel swimming
records lends color to the claim
that the faster the swim is made
from the start the better the chance
Of avoiding the serious out-tide at
Dover - the point where so many
swimmers have failed. Mere man,
who was becoming more mere for
several weeks, again finds his sex
in possession of the best time for
the channel swim. To those who
take such things seriously, this
will prove considerable of a salts
faction. The prompt manner in
which Miss Ederle challenged
Vierkoetter to a swim across the
channel next summer indicates
there has developed keen rivalry
among channel contestants.

lures In primaries. Yet the results
of the primaries in the Democratic
states of the solid south, and in
states similarly dominated by the
Republican party, practically de-
termine the results of the final
elections.
One of the states in which the
prediction selection of candidates
practically determines the winners
at the election is Connecticut.
The election in Connecticut is
merely a matter OF form. The Re-
publican state convention really
selects and virtually elects the i'm
portant candidates.
This would not be the case were
the Democrats stronger through
out the state. But it is reality, not
the possibility with an If attach
cd" which determines the actual
condition.

The new federal corrupt prac-
tees act of 1925 was attached in
the Senate to a rider on the postal
salary increase bill, and was signed
by President Coolidge on February
2S, 1925.
The new corrupt practices act
attracted very little attention at
the time it was passed as a rider
and it is probable that many can
didates are unaware of its ex-
istence.
The new act is a substitute for
the federal corrupt practices act
of 1910, which was invalidated in
part by the Supreme courts deci-
sion in the Newbery case, and for
all other similar legislation pre-
viously enacted in Congress.

vania, South Carolina. Vermont and

The provisions of the new act

The provisions of the new act
are stringent. 1t provides for:
Publicity of campaign contribu-
tons and expenditures in the form
Of public reports by candidates and
political committees both before
and after the elections.
Limitation of campaign expendi-
lures by candidates under new
formula for determining maximum
lawful expenditures - in substi-
tute for the $4,000 and $4,000
limitations OF the corrupt prac-
tees act of 1910.
Prohibition % of campaign con-
tributions by corporations and ma
tional banks, (2) of the use of fed
eral patronage or any other form
of consideration in payment for
votes in political campaigns.

Trainers of the new federal cor
rupt practices act accepted the
majority of opinion in the New
berry case as placing a permanent
obstacle in the way of regulation
of expenditures in primary cam
paigns by federal legislation. The
recent debates in the House and
Senate in connection with expendi-
lures in the senatorial primary in
Pennsylvania make it clear that
this view is shared by a majority
of the members of both houses, al
though a close reading of the ma
jority and minority opinions in the
Newberry case plainly suggests
that a new attempt to regulate
primary expenditures - on the
basis of the constitutional amend
ment adopted in 1918 for direct
election of United States senators
would be upheld by the Supreme
court,

The fact that expenditures In the
senatorial primaries in two of the
1 above states, as disclosed by the
! investigation of the Reed commit
/ tee, have succeeded the dsUr epnt
! tee, have exceeded the S19S,000 ex-
pended in the 1918 primary in
Michigan which the Senate de-
! clared to be contrary to sound
public policy, harmful to the
honor and dignity of the Senate
and dangerous to the perpetuity of
! free government" - is expected
| to lead TO a new effort to regulate
primary expenditures, directly or
indirectly, in the next session of
Congress.
The first move. however, may be
the invalidation by the Senate of
the election of candidates on whose
behalf excessive sums have been
expended in this years primaries.
After this the Senate will tighten
the strings about primary expendi-
lures - directly or indirectly.
Meantime the ten states which
have no limit to expenditures re-
garding primaries have an oppor-
tunity to justify the cry that the
states have inalienable rights and
are capable of attending to their
own business.
These ten - mentioned above -
have a wonderful chance to do
some housekeeping of their own
accord.
But the party bosses will have
to be willing.
