A ThanklesS Senator
New York Times)

When Seantor Shipstead of Minnesota,
Farmer Labor insurrecto, was taken. into the
Republican fold and given Senate chairman
ship, it was predicted that he would file for re-
election under the old party banner. But the
winds from the prairies bring the blighting
news that he will run as a FarmerLaborite
again. AS the radical spirits in Minnesota
rise and such objurgations as "turn-coat" are
joyfully withdrawn, so do conservative spirits
in Washington sink. The Democratic shadow
falls again across Minnesota. Woodrow Wilson
came within less than 400 votes of carrying
the state in 1916; Governor Smith has power
full bipartisan support there; and the failure Of
the Minnesota Republicans to lure back Ship
stead will mark Minnesota in red on the cam
paign maps this fall
Locally, Mr.. Shipstead's decision saves the
Farmer-Labor party as state entity. While
the required affidavit for filing in the Repub-
lican primaries would apparently have prevent
ed the senator from entering them under any
circumstances, he had the choice of standing as
an independent after the primary and letting
the Farmer-Laborites sink like plummet in
the blue waters of Lake Superior. That he did
not do this keeps alive the only definite symbol
of radicalsm in the Northwest, for it is with
in the Republican ranks that the Wisconsin
factions are fighting. From the Times Watch
tower at St. Paul the statement comes that
Mr.. Shipstead would have preferred to run as
a Republican because of it's effect upon his
status in Washington. But the Gordian knot
lay before him, and he had-however reluct-
antly-to use a sword.
Not since the 1916 campaign will the upper
Mississippi Valley be so hard fought as this
year. if the advance of Hoover continues and
he is nominated at Kansas City. Observers
agree, with more to support their view than is
usual in long-distance guessing, that Lowden
would have a preponderant chance to carry
Minnesota and Iowa against any Democrat.
But Smith-Hoover contest would make bat
tlefield of these states, and also of Wisconsin.
The corn and wheat would bend before the
breaths of the orators. and the prairie tremble
with the tread of their feet before the SHOWS
of November fall.

Editorial Comment

(The Milwaukee (Wis.) Journal

Justice Walter H. North of the Michigan Su-
preme court reveals the real difficulty with the
fourth offender laws of Michigan and New
York when he says that, There are scores and
scores Of statutory offenses classed as felonies
which involve no moral turpitude whatever"
He is doubtless thinking of the case of Fred
Palm, Lansing who has appealed life sentence
under the fourth offender" act. Palms
fourth conviction was for the possession of a
pint Of gin. His first conviction was for rails
ing Uncle Sans currency. For this. he served
five years at Leavenworth. The other two
were also prohibition violations.
Justice North apparently feels with most Of
us that simple prohibition violations are not as
serious as murder. He feels that they belong
to small class of feonies which are really of
misdemeanor grade. Feeling this way he con-
dems as an outrage" the Michigan law which
makes it mandatory on Judge to sentence a
person convicted Of this type of felony for the
fourth time to life imprisonment. He de-
nounces "any law which prevents a circuit
judge from using his common sense and judg-
ment."
Either our conception of what constitutes a
felony should be changed or the law for fourth
convictions should be revised. Mr.. Palm has
already fully paid the penalty for his first three
crimes in accordance with law. His fourth
crime is trivial. Yet he is sent to state prison
for life on the assumption that this fourth
crime has now definitely established that he
is an incorrigbe whom it is unsafe to leave at
large. If possession of a bottle of gin is q
felony, Milwaukee is full of felons. But under
Michigan's law, the Judge has no voice in the
matter. He must imprison for life man who
is in no way serious danger to the community.

A Broadway cafe that was enjoy
ing but medium patronage now jams
its doors each lunch hour and over
flows into a second-floor series of
dining booths because it employed
one Of the oldest Of the French side
walk cafe gags. A clever young
artist was retained to make carica-
lures Of Broadwayites prominent in
the theater, movie and newspaper
world. Instead Of charging for the
sketches they were arranged around
the cafe wall. Naturally this
brought the vanity Of the celebrities
to the surface and they began to
congregate in the cafe at lunch hour.
When the celebs arrived the Broad
way "mQb" followed. Today you'll
see more of the Broadway cognos-
cent? at this place than at any other.
It's a variation on the old theme
of seeing your picture in the paper.
Which, in turn, is a variation on the
personal columns in the small-town
newspapers. And whether it's New
York or Saug Centers, the same
formulas work.
When / first took newspaper job

For years F. p. A., widely-fol-

assortment of slang personals issued
in q New York publication. Herein
you fill find that so-and-so will

young wits Of the other papers have
done this small-town feature the
honor Of satirizing it and initiating
it. Even the erudite contributed
columns Of the New York press are
but glorified improvisations on the
good old written" department we
operated in years gone by on the
Oxnard (Cal.) Courier. And which,
for all I know, may still be func-
tioning, as it functions on many an
