section of Ohio.
An interesting development in con-
nection with this campaign is the
movement, which has come into being
in the last few days, to memorialize
certain rooms in the new building.
That is to say, there are a number
of people and several organizations
which are planning to furnish the
funds to build and equip room, the
same to be named for them, and to be
used in their honor

easily figured, however-the demand
for coal is greater than the supply
produced, the operating hogs know
they can get the price and-they get
it. In this, too, is seen the reason
why most mines are operated only
two and three days a week-the pur
pose being to keep the supply just a
little short of the demand so that the
price is easily kept to the peak mark
The miners getting no more for
digging, the mines being operated but
two and three days week, the rail
roads getting no more for hauling,
yet the price of coal soaring-consist-

For years the number who have
taken part in the primaries and cleo
tions have decreased in comparison to
the increase in population. It is esti-
mated that there are 56,000,0O0 people
over 21 years of age in the United
States who are eligible to vote, but to
the overwhelming shame of the neg
lectful, less than SO per cent went to
the polls in 1924 in a presidential lee
ton, and in presidential elections the
greatest numbers vote.
In "off years" there is falling off
of millions of votes.
This is an "off year," but if the
wage earners of our country and all
other loyal, just-minded citizens ex-

than in the last presidential election.

GET OUT THE VOTE

The elections November 9 will de-
eide whether the reactionary trend of
federal and state legislation will con-
tinue or the congress and the state
legislatures will be composed of
members who know their duty to the
people and will exercise it.
Reaction has sunk it's fangs into the
heart of nearly every government in
the world.
Stupendous efforts have been made
to discredit legislative bodies and thus
aid the reactionaries in their cam
paign towards relationships.
Efforts are increasing more and
more to delegate the powers of con-
gress and state legislatures to execu-
tives, thus giving the predatory in
terests greater influence in having the
laws enforced to suit them.
There is no higher duty of a citizen
than to take the part the constitution
gives him to select public officials

HUNCHING

How much farther is the railroad
company to be permitted to go in the
hunching of its tracks higher than the
street at the South Second and South
Third street crossings? For years
the railroad has gradually and grad
ually boosted its tracks along Syca-
more street until today they are way
above the actual level of the street.
But during the past few weeks they
made one of their biggest boosts.
From Front to Third streets they
raised the tracks above the level of
the ground and then filled in with
gravel. At the crossings they made
big jump without any protest,
though many comment on it. The
Pre- believes that here is food for
thoueht on the part of the Second
Wand Improvement Association.

COAL PRICES UP

Most all local coal dealers have had
to increase the price of coal SO cents
a ton, and another raise is in sight.
The local dealers are not to blame for
the increased prices, the raise being
due to the increased prices the dealers
must meet at the mines. The reason
given out for soaring prices of coal
at the mines is the strike of the Brit
ish coal miners, causing demand for
foreign shipment, creating shortage
of certain Goals, like Pocahontas,
smokeless and bituminous, and there
by giving the operators an excuse for
boosting prices.
The miner and the consumer, OF
course, can't see why the boost when
the cost of producing is not increased
one cent, the miner getting no more
for digging nor the railroads any more
for hauling. The price boosting is

Shows No Regret
For killing Mother

Springfield. Mass, Aug. 7.-(P-
Richard Clarence Bearse. son of Fred
A. Bearse. treasurer Of Hampden
County. who killed his mother at
their home here Friday morning will
probably be sent to Bridgewater for
observation to determine his sanity.
His father and the dead woman's
sister visited the youth this after
noon at his cell in the county Jail
where he is temporarily held on
order Of the district court. The
youth showed no regret for is hor-
rible act and is said to have not
fully realized what he had done. He
seemed glad to see his relatives.
Miss Marie Wilson, pretty stem
ographer. who had promised to
marry him after an ardent two
weeks courtship, could see no rea-
son for the crime. She was inter-
viewed by detectives at the hospi-
tai where she is recovering from
collapse suffered yesterday on
hearing of the tragedy. She refuted
the fathers belief that the son had
gone mad because another man held
her love. She denied that she had
spurned his attentions and that there
was another man in the case.
Judge Wallace r. Heady Of the
District Court defended his actions
for sending the youth to the local
Jail instead of to the insane asylum
at Northampton. He had been criti-
cized by General Embury c. Clark,
sheriff of Hampton County. The
judge declared he was not rushing
murderers to insane asylums."

Country folk and city people rubbed
elbows at the service while a quartet
was hastily assembled from Ludlow
and the summer residents to furnish
the vocal music. John Wilder, so
years old uncle Of the president. join
ed the quartet and sang all Of the
hymns heartily. Clarence Blanchard,
cousin of the president, ushered.
Many Of the tourists were observed
to assist generously in the collection
when Mr.. Phillips explained that he
had been surprised to learn that for
long time it had not been the Gus
tom OF the church to take collections,
while a new roof. was badly needed
for the edifice. and he had noticed
that many of the prayer and hymn
books had mysteriously disappeared,
fact perhaps traceable to peculiar
habits" OF some souvenir hunting
tourists.
Mrs. Almira Goodhue, mother Of
Mrs. Coolidge, who occupies the Cool

came from visit today, making the
trip from Massachusetts by automo-
bile and bringing a number Of pies
and other good things to eat for her
daughter and son-in-l law.
She left late in the afternoon for
Northampton while Mr.. and Mrs.
Coolidge will return tomorrow to
White Pine Camp at Paul Smiths,
N. Y, where the summer White
House is established.
Late in the afternoon Mr.. and Mrs.
Coolidge visited the grave of their
son. Calvin, in the hillside cemetery

SPECULATION OVER
FINANCES OF five
YEAR AIR PROGRAM

washington. Aug. S.-(P)-Specu-
lation as to what policy the admin
istration will adopt for the financing
of the five year air power expansion
program authorized by congress has
given little zest to the hot weather
meditations Of army and navy folk
in Washington. They may get some
light when the limiting figures for
the next appropriation bills are
handed around August Is by the bud
get bureau; but they will not share
it with the public because of the
rigid secrecy requirements Of the
government on budget matters.
On the face of the authorizing acts
for the army and navy and prelim-
mary estimates of cost which f1gur-
ed in committee hearings, the gen.
eral aspects of the financial problem
are plain. 1t Is clear that a supple
mental air budget of $50,0O0,000 and
upwards is in order for the first
year of the program. What that up
wards" might involve is not so clear.
That congress intended this huge
sum to be appropriated at the last
session and to be superimposed on
the current appropriations for the
two services, amounting roughly to
$685., 100000. seems quite clear. The
language of the army air increase
act makes it seem mandatory. In re-
porting it to the house Chairman
NORM of the military committee said
the air expansion was to be accom-
plished without taking this increase
away from the "other arms" and the
same Is at least implied in the navy
air program.
Authorized strength and actual
strength, however, are two quite diff
ferent things from a budget point of
view. The present authorized
strength of the army enlisted force
is and has been since 1922 fixed at
10000 men. exclusive of the air
corps increase. It's actual strength
has been held at $4,000 under presi-
Dental budget policy. For the navy,
congress has authorized construction
Of eight new 10000 ton post-treaty
cruisers.
The budget has asked congress up
to date to provide funds for con-
structing only two and for drawing
plans for three more. 1t remains to
be seen what the presidents budget
proposals will have to say as to the
air power program.
The combined program calls for g.
500 active planes at the end of FIVE
years, 1000 for the navy, and 1900
for the army and national guard. 1t
also authoriz ID two monster dirigi-
bles for the navy. But when con-
gress closed up shop and went home
to fix up political fences it left be-
hind appropriations of only S307,500
to start the work. OF that 100000
is for an all-metal experimental diri-
gible for which the navy did not ask
and the remainder is to pay the first
years salary Of the new assistant
secretary for air in the navy depart
ment.
