Probably somewhat than third of the Democratic voters of the elty turned out yes thelr preference as to who should be the party candidate for the alty, Alderman A, M. the successful contestant, heavy vote from the naturally Dem- ocratic sixth. The lates him on the evidence of confidence in him hy those especially of his own community. Any less a rday to register mayor- Paonessa was drawing a Herald congratu- cexpression of this man has reason to feel a certain pride in proof of the fact that those among whom he lives, those of his own ward who should know him the best, be- lieve in him. It is probable that the bad weath- er aided the successful candidate. His support is mainly sentimental” sup- port, his friends ar friends who both by inclination and habit of life would do they wished to do without thought o convenience or comfort. The vote he received was more of a tribute to the tation for honesty and cnergy and to his popularity, than it was a criterion by which his fitness for tie high of- fice of mayor may be juds But more than the weather down the vote. Its small size was the first public indication of the general protest against local politics in gen- eral. The weather conditions today are something like those of vesterday. The same lack of interest may be shown in the Republican primaries as was in evidence in the Democratic action of yesterday. There is in the city, especially among the intelligent voter, the ipspiration for the excla- mation: “Oh, what's the use?” warm what man's repu- kept THE “STAMESE TWINS." Volumes of practical, medical and psychological works might be written on the thoughts questions sug- gested by the death of the "% Twins.” There is tragedy pathos in the surroundings which should not be forgotten in the unique character of the event. Human feel- ing should find its place in the mental attitude of those who contemplate it. But the p! cal aspect, of the case will interest science. Ir the two per- sons so strangely joined be considered as one individuality, the question of whether or not an operation should have been performed becomes the question to whether a presumably vital part of a dying per- son should be removed in order to save the rest of the organism. If the “twins” be considered as two {ndividualities the matter seems more simple to all except, probably, those who realized, such as the. brother may have done, that they could not be viewed thus, as two people. Scientifically, it is to be regretted that the operation was not per- formed. A life might been saved, though the chances arc against that result being attained. and amese a and as have It is interesting to note the atti- tude of various interests toward the views a Usually a person wireless. new thing in the light of how it will affect him personally Will it make more common the thing in which he deals and thereby lessen the demand for his commodity, or will it increase that demand to his personal ad- vantage. Certain vaudeville managers {nsisted singers agree not to give their services to radio telephone concerns have for the purpose of broadeasting their gongs. It is the belief of those people, of course, that if are able to hear their singers by radio telephone they will not be so eager to pay to hear them in person. The managers pelieve their business would suffer Elther they fail to see that hearing a singer over the radio telephone might create a demand to hear that singer in person, or they refuse to believe that such wouid be the result. At any rate they refuse to take chances. They take the safe, selfish attitude. A newspaper's commodity is news Now it is predicted generally, as it was predicted by a speaker in New Britain the other evening, that im- portant news events will be broadcast- ed so that all may hear.

And here youth was served at the ex- pense of comparative youth, as the ages of men are judged. A “miscue” was probably the di- rect cause of Hoppe's defeat—a lack of the exact quantity of chalk placed on the cue's tip or a compact which did not create the exact friction necessary to give the cue ball the necessary movement—that was all. And “miscues” may be explained hy is degree of the shade of more weary nerves com- ing, perhaps, after more years of use or strain. The match is worthy note for its uncertaint of especial up to the end omed to sce father, ieorge other men of their more advanced years two dec- \les ago, marvel at the closeness of It was a splendid match, and People who were accu the young champion's Slosson, and and this contest. bringing applause for winner joser alike and bringing the prospect of many future matches of brilliance between these two men, one extremely young as champions usually go—with the exception the phenomenal Hoppe—and the other, that same Hoppe, not even of middle age. of SCHOOL KNOWLEDGE It will be discouraging to the pes- simist to learn that more High school students in the United States are more familiar with the doings of Briand, Gen.

Senator treaties declaring international toms, are as the is concc as far strength enforee- ment ned. As summarizing the whole of the conference treaties those remarks are worthy of value emphasis. “There is no obligation of force in this treaty,” he said “There is no ob- ligation that one of the nine nations signing the treaty can call on another nation to But there is a moral obligation that will make the nation that violates it an outlaw in the face of the civilized world. More than that, a nation which would vio- late this compact to respect the rights of China would be in a very serious it other nations all use force. position, with ei signatory to this treaty, in reference to its position in world affairs.” If the one nation violated the treaty Senator Underwood added, concerning the other nations: “They would make their protests ful that I think which violated would reconsider continue that violation.” This covers the whole matter of the force and effect of the treaties of the Many weeks ago it was so carnest and so force- other nation the obligation its action and dis- the had conference, pointed out in these columns that this moral obligation, this spirit, was the basis of any effectiveness latent in the The other day Senator Wads- worth indicated, in his comments on the provision against the use of poison zas, his doubt of the usefulness of such a regulation.
