ROUGH ON D.iUGHERTY

When an alleged bribe becomes a fee, and when an alleged disposal of money becomes q campaign contri- button, will still have to be decided in court, is the decision of L.. &. Attorney Buckner in New York. The government prosecutors decision to call for new trial of Harry NJ. Daugherty. former attorney general, and Thomas W. Miller, former alien property custodian, will hinge upon these two points. On the whole. de- termination to proceed with a new trial comes as surprise. as the earlier disa greement of the jury in i both cases had come 10 presage a { belief that conviction under the cir cumstances would be difficult. and would not be attempted.
 John T. King, former Connecticut political leader. and Jesse w smith, Daugherty's contiiant, both Of whom are now dead, would have made capital witnesses in this trial King, like Daugherty, probabl, would have known when not to talk or at least when to forget. but Smitf was a man of different tempera, ment. The case loses much of it, | possibilities as result of the death. ! of these two men.
 It is said in New York that at tho recent trial of Daugherty and Mil Ter the jury stood six to six on tn, former and ten to two for conviction on Miller. Both cases were ably de
 tended, but Buckner for the prose ! cution vas subject 10 some criticism
 later for alleged failure to pres
 certain matters Perhaps he has de
 cided to go the limit in anothe | trial.

Andrews Is Envious of
 Wife's Business Success

Washington, Nov. Pl-Asslstaut Secretary Andrews chief of the dry forces, said today that Mrs. Andrews who recently entered business. is making such a success it almost tempted him to follow her example.
 "I'll admit we both were a little skeptical over her business venture. but after looking over her results I take off my hat. Yes. we both miss the break in home life but she is enjoying the experiment in busi- ness"
 While he is convinced women have place in the business world. General Andrews said he had no in- tention of employing women on the prohibition staff.
 Mrs. Andrews surprised Washing ton recently by her announcement that she was joining a friend in the organization on a travel educational service in New York.

The victory of David l. Walsh
 over Senator William M. Butler,
 Republican. in, Massachusetts, was by a plurality of 10000. At the same time Governor Alvan T. Fuller, Re- publican, defeated William A. Gas ton. Democratic candidate. by about 1S0, 900. If there had been nothing but party voting in Massachusetts this could not have happened. The dominant power dislikes independ- ent voters because nine times out of len. when independence is exercised. some important Democrat gets elected along with the Republicans.

TY CODES DECISION

Election returns are important. but on the day when they were be- ing sprawled ali over the newspapers the information that Tyrus Raymond Cobb had resigned as manager of the Detroit baseball team, and would no longer be identified with the na- tional game in this capacity. got first page notice in every newspaper in the land
 Cobb has been an institution. He Is the baseball player who, during q years of service in the big leagues. has broken more records than any other man In the history of the game. Babe Ruth has broken the home run records, but Cobb has nearly every record that Ruth has missed.
 This lynxlike player will no longer perform in the box scores or figure in the news reports as a man. ager. For six years he has been at tempting to develop a team capable of winning a pennant. but failed, al though he had a strong aggregation of battling performers each year. Some years, had he had a few good pitchers, he might have won a pen- nant. Cobb has been notably defi- cient on picking or developing good moundsmen.
 Cobb admits he knows no other business than baseball. The likeli- | hood is na will purchase an interest In some club and spend the remain der of his days as a mogul of the game. Of course, he will have to be careful not to pick lemon, such as could be found in Waterbury, but will need to exercise that cir cumspect particuarity which will make him the owner of club in q good-payng town.
 Or maybe he will take up some- thing more certain of remuneration, such as going into the automobile business. Anybody is privileged to give the Georgia Peach advice as to what 10 do In the future; but it must not be overlooked that the peach never took any advice, not even from Navin, the Detroit club | mogul

Marshal Sun Likely to
 Lose Another Province

Annoy, China, Nov. P-The im- pending capture of another province from Marshal Sun Chuan-Fang by the Antonese is suggested by reports that the southerners have taken Chang Chow in the southern part of Fukien province and are nearing Yenping from the north.
 Observers are predicting that Cantonese will have full control of the entire province within few days. Until recently Fukien was in the undisputed control of Marshal Sun Chuan- Fang, as one Of the six eastern provinces under his military domination.

SCHOOL RADIO PROGRAMS

The state board of education must have a good reason for desiring 10 broadcast radio programs for the public schools every other week. The decision to assist thus in the educa- tion of the school children of the state must have been taken only after due deliberation and the weighing Of the possible benefits. The programs are no doubt designed to be of q nature 10 enlist the inter est or students and lend them selves to their development. But by unani- nous action the board of education in Bristol has again rejected CO., operation in that city, on the score that no activity he permitted 10 in- terfere with regular school sced- ules. This means, of course, that the state boards radio programs will not be received In Bristol.
 As the Bristol board. in taking such action, merely emphasized former votes of similar result it Is evident that the state board has been insistent that its programs be accepted. Perhaps the same cam- paign is being waged by the state board In other cities and towns. all of which have enough self-govern- ment left in spite of the present legislative practice to decide for themselves whether they want the state boards programs.
 The programs given hy the state must cost money. If too many local school boards take the action of the Bristol board the effort by the state l will have been wasted, and the costs l thereof also. There must be many citizens. however who favor these progra ms. and 1t would be well for all local boards to consider the pos abilities with great care. Such pro- grams. given every two weeks, can- not possibly result in a serious en- croachment upon school time; and | there is 10 be considered whether | the service given by the states | school radio is not Of a nature to more than counteract any possibli- ! ties of lost time" In addition, how 1 much would it cost any community 10 get the same service. if desired { from individuals within the school building? These things, obviously are merely mentioned to aid in the discussion.
 States supervise the kind of edu. cation which shall be given In the schools, regulating the system gen erally with few if any local varia. lions, Our school system is "a state system, not a city or town system ! despite local management of the | buildings and teachers. From this
 We would not be surprised to learr
 that if too many communities re.
 fuse to accept the states radio pro
 grams a law will be passed making
 this compulsory. The day when radio
 and moving pictures of m educa
 tional nature are made part of tn,
 educational process cannot be ia
 distant. The states radio scheme u]
 to now is merely an experiment
 Later 1t may become an integra
 part Of Johnnys educational oppor
 tunity.
