THE MORBID MOB

We hope the accounts Of the mad
struggles of a morbid mob ap-
preaching the bier of Valentino were
exaggerated. That there was gross
unseemliness displayed by these in
quisitive If not morbid people may
be presumed. One wonders how
many OF the hundred and ten mill
lion people in this country would re-
act in that way under like condi-
tons.
Has not the race progressed since
the mob hung on the words of
Antony? If SO in what proportion?
The New York mob seems to have
been little improvement over the old
Roman. Is the percentage of such
large among those who enjoy the
right of suffrage and regulation of
popular government? And how
many Of them all considered how OBJ
jectionable such demonstration
would have been to the dead actor,
If what his intimate friends say of
his character be a true estimate?

One Of the leading characteristics
of the late United States Senator
Bert NJ. Fernald of Maine was his
habit of silence when he had moth
ing to say, and the vigor with which
he expressed himself when he did let
go, more often in the course of an
interview or statement than on the
floor, for he never aspired to shine
as a speaker. Washington even now
recalls the manner in which he blaz-
ed out against the League Of Ma
tions when many of his colleagues
were temporiZing. and his stout re-
sistance to the reform methods of
some Of the insurgents, particularly
in their endeavors to regulate the
packing industry, with which he was
familiar. Senator Fernald was de-
pendable as a regular Republican.
yet with an independence of his
own, especially in foreign affairs,
which indicated the sterling stuff of
which he was made. He was a
practical farmer and one. moreover,
who had made farming pay, and his
beautiful estate in West Poland was
frequently inspected by visitors as a
model institution. In his death
Maine loses a representative who,
while not snowy, nevertheless was
one of the most useful cogs in the
wondrous machinery which goes to
make the Government of the United
States.

Water Routes, Why Not Use
Public Ledger


Secretary Hoover is right Water
routes in steamboat days built up the
Middle West and carried civilization
into the Northwest. They were vital
then and only a little less vital now.
Everybody agrees, with the possible
exception Of some railways, that in
land streams should carry vast
amounts of freight. Deep-waterways
associations meet and highly resolve
this should be so, and Congress is
always besieged for more appropria-
tons for river work. Everybody
talks about inland navigation and
most everybody agrees 1t would be
a fine thing; but the barge lines and
packets are hardly ever embarrassed
by more freight than they can
handle. The Ohio, Tennessee. Ill
inois. Mississippi and Red Rivers are
all navigable and all have consider
able water transport, but they are
not overburdened with traffic. Water
routes are vital to the Middle West,
but just why is it that these are not
used more than they now are?

AS NEW ENGLAND SEES 1T

(By APP
Motorists touring southwestern
New Hampshire have to keep q
sharp lookout on the innumerable
curves Of the roads which wind in
and out Of the hills but when they
enter the city Of keene they are al
most bewildered by the amplitude of
open space. Keene boasts that 1t
has the broadcast Main Street in
New England. Parking space is
provided not only at the curbs but
in the middle Of the street right In
the heart of the business section and
when this space is filled with cars
there are still avenues on each side
wider than the principal streets in
many other cities. The ELM City"
lives up to its nickname. Large
trees are abundant even in the
centre of the city and on many of
the residential streets the branches
of the elms form an unbroken arch.
Mrs. Lovina Jane Durkee of Chit
tenden, VT, "a years old, thinks she
may safely claim to be the cham
pion grandmother of New England.
She has II living grandchildren and
25 great grandchildren, scattered all
countries, one of them as far away
as India Born in Palmyra. Mich.
when 1t was a frontier town. she
was married at the age of Is. Seven
of her ten children are living and
she also reared six stepchildren.
Mrs. Durkee is of long lived stock,
her grandmother having lived to the
age of 100 and her mother 80.
A combined appeal to the sense of
honor and to the self interest OF the
consuming public has been made on
behalf of the lobster by William c..
Adams, Massachusetts director of
fisheries and game. Calling atten-
ton to the legal penalties for pos
session of live Holsters less than
nine inches long and boiled Holsters
less than "a inches long, the d.
rector says: "All residents of the
commonwealth who believe in the
proper conservation of our natural
resources and the perpetuation of
the important lobster industry have
a moral obligation not to purchase
illegal Holsters. This sense of moral
obligation should be a greater deter
rent factor than the Aenalties pro-
vided by law. In the long run this
policy will react to the benefit Of the
consumer, as it will mean a large
increase in the number of legal lob
sters available in our waters"
Attention is called to some Of the
lesser known industries in New Eng
land by figures published from time
to time by the federal department of
commerce in it's census of manufac-
lures. Within the last week the de-
partment has made public statistics
relative to the production of edible
gelatin and Clues of animal origin.
Massachusetts, is one of the six
states manufacturing gelatin and it
has seven of the 40 principal glue
plants in the country.
Building trails has been the sum-
mer occupation of two Norwich Uni
versity cadets, Harold w. Hall of
Gardner. Mass. and Harold r. Con-
nell of Fall River. They have blaz-
ed a triangular trail connecting the
three highest mountains near North
field. VT, Bald, Scrag and Paine.
Part Of their work has been on a
trail over a 40-mile mountain ridge
which eventually will connect with
the long trails of the Dartmouth and
Middlebury college outing clubs.

EXEMPLAR OF THE AMERICAN
CITIZEN

It Is said the London news
papers devoted but three lines to the
news report of the death of Charles
William Eliot, the most celebrated
educator in this country II not in the
world. Assuredly the American
newspapers shine in contrast with
the English. This mans facile and
at times trenchant pen has graphic
ally written his conception of an
American citizen; his life ex-
emplifed 1t. The intelligent public
appreciates this.
Columns are being written re-
garding his exceptionally full life,
which was useful up to the time
when old age became such a burden
his friends were glad that he might
be relieved. We hope these are be-
ing generally read for they contain
much that may not too frequently be
impressed on the mind Of the public.
A feature that especially, 1t seems,
should not be overlooked was his
attitude toward those who differed
with him, and there were not few
of those In his early career when he
was struggling to lay sound founda-
tons for the modern university, in
the face of formidable opposition.
On his Goth anniversary one Of the
tributes paid to him was that Of
Dean Briggs, who reminded the
venerable educator that time had
indicated his policies and op-
ponents had come to recognize his
open mindedness and tolerance. It
was recalled that he allowed free use
Of the university press to those OPP
ponents on the faculty, who wished
publicity to combat Eliot's theories;
that his future treatment Of in
structors who had differed from
him at this crucial time showed that
he bore no rancor and remained un-
prejudiced: dealing Justly and
generously with them; that while
the strongest man on the faculty he
was the most effacing as well as
the most effective.
He was an American Of the type
that has insisted on tolerance, on
understanding, on the truth; that is
able to campaign strenuously for
his political ideals, and quietly step
aside when convinced his opponents
have won the contest. In our two
great political parties. in each of
which there necessarily is much Of
compromise in order to hold factions
10 the effect Of unity on essentials,
the American citizen has received
shis priceless training in give and
take. But for this those parties
could not have retained their re-
spective organizations and the real
American citizen would not have
developed for US the America we
have. And among those who have
richly contributed to that splendid

men working in the tunnel have been
practically completed and the work
on the tunnel is scheduled to start
shortly. The help employed has been
recruited mostly from the surround
ing towns and the management Is
employing native help in preference
to foreign laborers. The sleepy lit
tie town of Grand Falls has in the
short space of a few weeks changed
into a hive of activity. The activ-
ity at Grand Falls has resulted in &C
tivities in the neighboring towns
also, and it has affected the work OF
the customs service in that section
more than any other activity, and the
extra activity Is especially noticeable
on Sundays and holidays when the
number Of automobiles crossing the
border is more than double the
traffic on week days. About every
foreign car calling at the customs
houses inquire the road to Grand
Falls, showing a manifestation of
wide interest.

Editorial Comment
Mistaken As To Its Enemies



The labor men who hope to save
the direct primary from all attacks
in next winters State Legislatures
are mistaken about the identity of
it's enemies. Apparently labor
spokesman have the innocent, no.
ton that "all over the land the poll
ticians are plotting to amend or re-
peal the primary" On the contrary.
Most of the politicians would be lost
and undone without it. They know
every trick and turn in the game Of
manipulating primaries, and most of
them will fight for it to the end.
Having mastered all the intricacies
of the primary system and having
adapted it to their purposes, they
will keep it if they can. Politicians
do not like responsibility. and there
was never a device for lodging all
responsibility for weak men and
misgovernment that could equal the
direct primary.
