The Union, leading Republican paper of Western Messachusetts, took the Senator to task, and the storm that was created among those of all ¢l Republicans vell as Democrats, was so great that Senator Gillett in a letter to the press denied that he had ever made the complained of cam- parison or that he had said a word, or entertained a thought, that Mrs. Smith well quali- fied, culturally, socially or otherwise for the position of mistress of the White House. He said that for a decade she had been the “First Lady” of New York and that I reports were that she had graciously and charmingly fulfilled all the requirements of the station, and that her popularity among those of all strata of saciety was ample evidence that nothing could be said against her that would not be untruthful. Whether or not Senator Gillett ever the alleged charges, in private conver- sation, his public settled® the contro- versy, for at worst was a complete retraction. The Springfield Union's calling down the Senator of its own wanted to do its part toward “nipping in bud” a seeming disposition in many quarters carry on an unthinkable campaign of nastiness against Gov. Smith, It declared that so far as results are concerned that such a campaign could only operate against Mr. Hoover. At least, he said, it would sacrifice the New England States where people are familiar with the records of Gov. and Mrs. Smith, and where they are im- mensely popular. °8, was not made , even statement it reason for party the to OUNCEME OUR GOOD WISHE! When Tunney was suspected THE TUNNEY AN) S AND announced his retirement it many that an engagement an- nouncement would soon follow. Several writers guessed it out loud. It has been discovered that thg bride-to-be is a woman of large wealth as well as culture and beauty It is probable that the wealth of Miss Lauder had no part in winning the affections of Tunney, but it is possible that it had something to do with his retirement from the prize ring. While Tun- mey is rich there is no sign that he would not like to be richer, and be the active heavyweight champion pugilist of the world worth several hundred thousand dollars vear even without a half-million-dollar, or better, battle, When one considers Tunney's youth, health, habits and ready reaction to training, it is to under- stand that the heavyweight championship would be worth several millions of dollars to him during the next five years. That is probably more than he could make in any other way, notwithstanding the flattering offers he has received in both the banking and commercial worlds However it may all be, the best wishes of the country will accompany ex-fighting Champion Tunney in his tramp through Europe with writ- ing Champion Wilder, winner of the Pulitzer prize for the best novel of the year: they will go with him to college in London, by to a Dallv 4lasha Emplre ‘ and Main | retire | Springfield | was that ft| |moment he was helpless, unable |to give any quarter {saia was opened and|?

No finer piece of sportsmanship was ever seen anywhere than that which Tunney exhibited dur- inz the eighth round of the fight Thursday night. In that round, it will be recalled, Heeney suddenly developed trouble with his eye. Afterward it was explained that the lid was turned under by a punch from Tunney. But at the moment nobody knew what was the matter with it, least of all Tunney. All that was known was that in one moment Heeney was fighting hard and in the next to see, brushing at his eye with his glove. Now, by all traditions of the prize-ring this should have been the signal for Tunney to step in and make the kill. Heeney was absolutely at his mercy and there was no rule that compelled him whatever. But what did he do? He stood and waited until Heeney was able to go on, He did not walk off and make a grand- stand play of it; he merely withheld his attack until Heeney resumed the fight of his own accord. Say what you will, this was a magnificent thing. If Tunney actually feels that he is a little above the general run of prize-fighters, as he is to feel, then he proved that he actually is them by this piece of sportsmanship. It is that he had little appetite for work that he was called upon to do in the final round. The issue had been decided in the tenth round, with Heeney beaten to a pulp! and unable to get to his feet. To subject him to further chopping was unseemly, and that Tun- ey was squeamish about it shows that he i really a man of fine sensibilities, he is said | to be. All in all, fight a much ove also to his credit the gory as the champion emerged from this bigger man than he had been thought to be. He proved once more that he is a superb boxer; he proved that he is a fighter; he proved that he is a man. Small-Town Scandal. (Cincinnati Enquirer.) Most people who have had experience with small-town life are familiar with one *‘whose legs are faiutywith haste to propagate the lie his soul had framed.”” And it need not necessarily be a lie—the tale-hearer may carry a true tale, but one which Is as deadly as the sting of the rattlesnake Malicious gossip, for more of human any other one evil experience. But there perhaps; has been responsible sorrow and suffering than ent in the history of humkn is a lot of loose talk indulged in by people in small communities and by neighbor- hood groups in cities, which exactly is not slander, but a sordid and unkindly sort of inter- ‘communication which makes for cheapness of character, for impoverishment of soul and is responsible for the dissemination of much hap- piness. A writer in the current American Magazine offers a recipe for happiness in the small com- munity—and it is as worthy of application in the units of a city-——which with profit might be fol- lowed by many folks whose hearts are as shriv- eled as their tongues are sharp. First, one must possess a sense of humor, or make effort to cultivate it. This is a prime essen- tial, says the writer. Other requirements for hap- piness in town, village or city neighborhood are tolerance, kindlin. human interest, discretion, neighborliness, contentment, magnanimity, mod- esty and interest in work. Bear no grudge if you says the writer. “Be slow to take offense. Over- look much. And when it comes your turn to forgive, be a good forgiver.” All are very commendable and true recipe is to be found in very old hook not too generally read in these hurried, days, and not likely to be serially reprinted in the American or any other magazine, but which still is available to those who would be happy, in a small town, or elsewhere. want to be happy, The same perhaps hectic Sometimes we suspect that President Covlidge spends a good deal of his time on the Brule River meditating on the wastefulness of this coun- try as reflected by payments of money to Senator Heflin for talking.— (Buffalo Courier-Express.)
