ingS of industrial corporations that
have spent neither time nor money in
any equivalent degree"
The point that precisely the same
alternatives are offered the Western
railroad conductors and trainmen that
could have been had at any time dur
ing the past three months" is empha-
sized by the Newark Evening News,
which refers to the 80 days within
which the parties to the dispute may
give their decisions. and concludes as
to the time allowed, Before it has
elapsed it is to be hoped and expected
that common sense and good judgment
will displace the attitude which resulted
in strike vote being taken in August,
although its exact result has not yet
been publicly recorded"
President Coolidge's expression of
confidence that when the conclusions
"are studied by the parties at interest
a satisfactory adjustment of the contro-
versy will result" is quoted by the Char
lotte Observer, with the comment that
IAN eventuality of this kind would
cause the country to rejoice" That pa
per also gives attention to the fact that
each of the propositions offered in
cludes continuation of the existing diff
ferentials for mountain and other spe-
cial service and addition of the re-
quested increase to baggagemen for
mail, express and dynamo service"
The possibility of "a severance of all
relations" is viewed as matter of con-
cern by the st. Joseph News-Press, with
the assertion that IAN amicable adjust
ment is highly desirable, else there may
be something consequential to worry
about" The News-Press agrees with
the assumption that "the report of the
board leaves the situation about where

| a sea?-E. D.
A. Roughness depends to a large ex-

! than a small body of water forming
a sea- Many inland lakes may become
extremely rough during prevailing
| storm. For instance, the English Chan

The Happv Warrior.

Gov. Alfred E. Smith has announced
that he does not expect ever again to
run for public Office. He has devoted
quarter Of century to municipal and
State affairs and, having now Of
fered for the presidency and been de-
feated, he feels that he should retire, as
it were, to private life and devote him.
self henceforth to business. He has
already been rendered a lucrative en-
ployment with corporation with which
he was identified during his single va
cation from the governorship in the
course of period of ten years.
Although beaten by the largest elec-
toral and possibly the largest popular
vote in the history of the country, Gov.
Smith nevertheless has made a remark
able campaign. The result of Tuesday
may be regarded as a landslide in one
respect, but it did not deny him the
support of the largest number of voters
who ever advocated losing candidate.
In this campaign Gov. Smith did not
spare himself. He plunged into the
fight with zest and he enjoyed the ex-
perience. He was no stranger to the
stump. He had been on the hustings
in New York for nearly quarter of a
century, first in Manhattan and then
in the State at large. Not within the
memory of man has either party put
forward as presidential candidate a
man with so much experience in "elec-
tioneering"
His severest critics could not accuse
the Democratic candidate of lack of
courage or nerve in meeting situations
and stating his convictions and his pro-
posals. He showed this, indeed, at the
outset of the campaign, in the very first
hours after his nomination, when he
precipitated the prohibition question by
his telegram to the Houston. convention
and thereby gave the contest a charac-
ter that was perhaps the determining
factor.
No candidate for the presidency has
ever drawn larger crowds than those
that assembled to hear Gov. Smith on
his various tours. He was a magnetic
force. He was picturesque and always
entertaining. Even his opponents and
his critics, listening in over the radio,
found him interesting. His camaraderie,
his forcible, If at times inelegant, die
ton, his ready wit aroused his irnmedi-
ate audiences to high pitches Of enthu-
siasm. But, as many another candidate
has found, cheers do not always mean
votes. Perhaps all those who cheered
him voted for him, but great volume
of sound can be made by a minority,
and it is significant that in only one of
the States that Gov Smith visited and
In which he spoke during the campaign
did he receive majority of votes.

The Gamblers Code.

Arnold Rothstein, New York's most
spectaaular gambler, died Tuesday
of the bullet that hit him last Sun
day night in hotel room to which he
had been summoned for a conference
There win probably be revelations OF a
sensational nature, leading to prosecu-
tions. Had he survived his wound he
would probably have engaged IN his
own reprisal and perhaps started
feud warfare lasting for years.
The case of Rothstein is somewhat OF
a mystery at present. mystery mainly
in point of the identity of the men
with whom he conferred Sunday night.
his creditors, and especially the man
who fired the shot. But the general
circumstances of the case are fairly
we'll known. Rothstein for years has
been one Of the biggest plungers Of
New York's gambling fraternity. He
was a cold, nervy, steady gambler, In
different to the size of his stakes, scru-
pulously abstemious, methodical. Some
weeks ago. the story goes, he sat in a
game that lasted many hours and at
the close of it he was some 100000
II debt to other members of the party.
TIe calmly declared that he considered
that In fact he owed his antagonists
cnly about $4,000 and that the bal
ance was Cancelled by reason of shady
methods of dealing the cards. In short,
ne accused his contestants of cheating.
'rhe marvel of the matter is that he
left the scene of the game without
molcstation. Ever since efforts have
been made by his creditors" to collect
the balance of the so-called debt, which
Rothstein has steadfastly refused to
recognize.
1t is an unwritten but inviolable law
that a sporting debt must be paid and
that charge of crookedness must not
be made without proof. Rothstein had
evidently violated this law in both re-
spects. At any rate, so far as is known
he had never demonstrated that the
-ame in which he claimed to have been
fleeced was marked by fraud or trick
His creditors, it would seem, have been
more intent upon getting the money
they claim to be owing to them than
upon avenging their honor" Tbs
