ed. With Smith as the likely Demo- cratic candidate 1928 will be no year for untried personality experiments. The slogan is. if smith is going to he the Democratic candidate Cool idge will have to be drafted to save the nation.
 It was only the other day, how ever, that President Coolidge said he would spend his time, when he emerged from the White House on March 4, 1929, in whiting.
 We fear that in spite of all the hullabaloo the grand old party is in for a frec-for-all. There should be no trouble in finding a candidate. Every Republican senator in Wash ington is potential candidate; not 10 overlook a few representatives like Nick Longworth, nor a few governors-from Len Small down, or up; or a few mayors-from Bill Thompson down, or up.
 It is our conviction, based on a survey of the field, that Herbert Hoover will be the grand old party candidate in 1928. And that William NJ. Butler will not be his campaign manager.

BRISTOL'S HAZARDS

Bristol and Forestville, like Plainville, are suffering from the same trolley hazard eitua- ton. The situation is one common to great many small cities and also to some larger communities. Trolleys have been permitted to park in the center of the city, and patrons are hard put to avoid being run down by automobiles.
 The difficulty is a logical fruit of the system whereby trolley cars are allowed to park on city property, using 1t for terminal purposes.
 The proper kind of a terminal is q private terminal.

GIRLS AND THEIR CLOTHING

An exalted Investigating commit tee in New York, after due deliber- alton of the facts unearthed during an exhaustive survey of feminine uuart. has come to the conclusion and has publicly announced that the average working girl in the metropo- ! lis spends S200 year on clothing. 1 The committee in addition, eager to make the job complete, justifies the expenditure. Girls, it says, have the privilege Of appearing as hand some as possible; it is their inalien- able right regardless of costs,
 Those with good eye for feminine beauty will agree heartily; those whose eyes have gone bad will be cynical, of course. Most of us still retain good eyesight for such mat ters.
 ! If the girls are inclined to spend S2GO a year on themselves that's their business. As a matter of fact, most of them earn the money them . selves, and it is nobodys business how they spend it, Without their aid most Of the wearing apparel shops would be hard put, if not entirely hors de combat. Business which caters to the needs of feminine trade have developed into one of our leading industries.
 What is the object of wearing such finery? The answer lies in the aptitude of the mere male to be at ] tracted to the best dressed girl; at least, those which combine pretty looks with fine clothes. The stand ard has risen. It used to be said that Q pretty girl would be pretty in a gingham apron. That may still be true; but find the gingham apron The modern girl knows fully that clothes make beauty artiCulate.

 On the same day along came both the New York Herald Tribune and the Boston Herald with first page stories that monster campaign has been started to draft Coolidge for another term.
 No less a Iuminary than William NJ. Butler. chairman of the Rcpub- liCan national committee, was credit ed with being behind the drive.
 The boys won't accept "choosc" as meaning no" there are too many letters in the word, or some thing.
 Chain letters have been started, and they seem to continue despite displeasure in the White House.

COMMEMORATE MARRIAGE"

"Companionate marriage" seems to be gaining. Being Of conservative build in such matters We cannot un- derstand. how any marriage can be anything but companionate. But Judge Ben Lindsey of Denver had some fine distinctions to make which incidentally lost him his ju- dicial seat-and now E. Haldeman- Julius of Kansas comes forward with his blessing over a companionate union of his daughter and her sweetheart.
 Of course, we are thankful to Mrs. Haldeman- Julius for her warn ing not to confuse companionate marriage with trial marriage. There is, after all, a difference. A trial marriage, we learn, Is exactly the opposite to companionate marriage, OA " lllI 1T 'lIC SciNS lltlt dI z llipu- sands in the country today. To be specific about it, a companionate marriage is one in which neither husband nor wife assume all the if nancial responsibility. These are her own words. From this we reflect that a marriage where dad assumes some of the financial responsibility comes under that classification, al though this might be indignantly de- nied by the parents of companionatc married folk. The other suppostion Is that companionate marriage is one in which both husband an wife share the financial responsibility of maintaining 1t; and of these, Of course, there are thousands being lived.
 The fine distinction between the two types Of marriages quoted falls down, however, when one contem- plates the Haldeman- Julius an nouncement of the actuaities. If the union proves satisfactory and love continues between them, an ordinary marriage will result. Otherwise a divorce will sever the relation.' That looks to us like trial marriage.
 Perhaps there is no need to get unduly excited over the situation. In view of the large numbers of di- vorcos being granted, it would ap- pear that an almost equally large total of the regular marriages" are in the nature of trial affairs. The way things are moving, if the lov- ing couples don't like the manner of their loving, they get a divorce. Miss Haldeman-Juliuss plan at least has as good chance of being per manent as many other regular" marriage.

TEOTBIES OF MINERS

The coal mining industry is in the doldrums the world over At the time when bloodshed occurred dur ing the Colorado mine strike several thousands of Welsh miners marched ! to the House of Parliament and there denounced various officials, in cludiug Premier Baldwin. Underly- ing the trouble in Wales as in Colo rado is the same economic phenome- non-there are more miners in the business. and more mines being operated. than the consumption of coal would logically demand.
 Natural enemies of soft coal con- umption-mostly used in the in- dustMcs--are the growing use of hydroelcctric power and the increas- ing use of oil as a fuel. It is said the consumption of coal in this country today is no greater than it was 10 or 20 years ago, despite the increased population and more in dustries.
 With such q condition facing the coal mining industry if is clear that it is the victim Of an economic revo- IuIon. On top of this situation is the fact that the mining industry has increased rather than curtailed it's potential output.
 Not much of this is reflected In tHc price Of coal, however; but this i# due to a considerable extent upon inc increased costs of transportation since the WAT; and the increased cost Of producing and managing the industry.
 So far as the Colorado shootings are concerned, the probability is that tHev were entirely unnecessary. The .ansa as given by either side differs; but if there were less eun-toting ,uerc would be less chance of trig- #.r-mlijug
