The magnificent gift of the flfty-acre Grant
County farm to the James Whitcomb Riley hospital
for crippled children at indianapolis has attracted
much favorable comment, as it should
Gift to Boz Miss Maggie Fankboner has made
hoJ uJ fine contribution to the boyhood and
"O0N "f'" girlhood of the State, and to an insti-
GirlhOOd tuition which is doing wonderful work
for the crippled children. We have
often wondered why more people do not make such
contributions to humanity. We not imagine any
thing which could possibly cause more JOY more
genuine happiness than such acts of unselshness We
believe that unsel1sh people are more happy than
people who selfish And are confident there is
ghr type of unselfshness than gifts to public in
situations. People not take their money with
them. Much of that we leave behind will be wasted
But through public benefacons it is possible to have
the assurance that money will be used for worthy
and noble purposes.

Old Guards Fears Rise

The whole trouble arises not be-
cause President Coolidge's atti-
tude has been doubtful, but be-
cause the Old Guard shrinks at
the problem Of finding success
sor.
The Old Guard is afraid of
what the West may demand with
Coolidge out of The race.
1t is afraid because it mas no
other Eastern candidate who is
acceptable to the West.

Coolidge Not QuibbIing

Republican politicians might
just as well give up the illusion
Z that MFR. Coolidge will be a candi-
date in 1923.
When he said, IT do not choose"
he meant IT do not intend" as
any one familiar with the New
England vernacular should know.
Instead of quibbling, as many
have tried to imagine, he thought
he was making an emphatic state
nent.

Maine Avoids a Mistake

Maine grown wise, stands pat
1t refuses to gamble again the old caucus and
convention method of nominating political candidates
In referendum Tuesday the State voted down al
most two to the proposed adjustment OF It's dl-
rect primary system, in effect since 1911.
This attack on the primary was ironical, for what
could be more ironical than to ask voters to vote
away their voting privilege.
But the attack was also insidous. If successful
it would have placed Names entire political future in
the hands, not of the entire voting population but in
the hands of few men, the wise wire pulers and
the back-room bosses.
What the attack really meant would have been
clear had it been leveed against the Maine cleo
ton system itself. Had anyone popped up in Maine
with determined effort to co away with the general
elections there would probably have been uproar
from coast to coast.
AS matter OF fact the attack the primary sys
tenn meant in effect the same thing.
Since 1911 the primaries have been the deternin-
ing factor in the State elections. Maine isn't quite
such one-party State Arkansas, for example,
where the United States senatorial primary in 1926
poled 22o,81e Democratic votes and the senatorial
election, the issue having already been decided poed
only 1924 votes.
But, as any down-Easter will tell you the Demo-
cratic party in Maine has been anything re-
5embling vow The Democratic party up there is,
to say the least negligible, and the Darkroom Bosses
by controlling Republican caucuses and conventions
would almost inevitably control the elections.
Maine voters we're wise in voting to retain their
present system, which was won only after years Of
effort but it is somewhat startling that with their
rights in such eapordy only some 900 out of pos
sble 100000 took the trouble to go to the polls.

There's at least one characteristic about Indiana
that many other States not claim for themselves

In all likelihood Governor jackson was foolish like
the fox in refusing extra gcssion of the Indiana
Legislature Ed hasn't been yet accused of not being
politician, and knowing when his bread is buttered
on the right side So many nasty things might come
out of an extra session, you know with so little to
do and lot of uneasy men trying to earn their pay.

What ever became of that libel suit of Senator
Arthur Robinson against the indianapolis Times?

And then the senator from Indiana went into his

take back; no lawsuit.
