Does it indicate that he is act- ing in his officlal capacity and doing what he considers his duty at State's Attorney in making the protest or is he acting in a private capacity | as attorney for the church people? If he is doing the latter he must be un- willing to see Mr. Klett get appoint- ment as he has proven that he will not take a case with which he.is not in accord “in principle,” as witness the refusal to accept the case of But- terworth, who fought for control of the American Legion state fund. If, | in his capacity as State's Attorney, he\ is making the charges, he is very| secretive about them. [ Just what the contention the | protest against Mr. Klett may be is not known. Mr. Alcorn will not talk, Mr. Kiett will not talk, certain church will not talk and, ar- at gives rise to mind a in association offitials altogether, we have a formidable ray of silent ones. Conjecture is not lacking among politicians and those interested in public afairs. Tt is said that the fact that Mr. Klett has been | attorney for the moving picture in- terests, opposing a bill before the leg: islature against Sunday movies, has won the dislike of the churches. It| is said that the action of the Leg- islature, when Kiett was a member, in refusing to endorse the prohibition amendment, may have been a factor. In either of these cases, unless there were circumstances of which we are it does not seem as if the| breach unaware, candidate was guilty of any of etiquette, legal or political, suffi- cient to win him disapproval. The complaint, if founded on these things, | is not deserving of great considera. tion. We have still to learn the cause " of the trouble, and simply | make our conjecture as others are do- | however, ing. It appears that the protest a Mr. Klett is not going to serious set the plans of the Republican pow- | ers that be and that he is, barring| further complications, practically cer- tain of the appointment as a reward for his “regularity’ in the past. nst v up- CHARTER CHANGE!

The editorial complains that “too many Americans losing all sense of what the dollar means., spending wildly, trying to outdo one another in a con- extravagance, Some of them can afford to throw the money away. Their offense, and it is a serious one, they setting an example a pace for their less fortunate and even more foolish neighbors, But New England people will be | specially interested in the portion of that editorial which reads: lon's appeal to the be more are They are test of 18 that are and The founders of New England and the other colonies were per- sons who took life seriously but not sourly, They found joy in working, in saving and in those intellectual pleasurfes which have been man's best mental refuge since the invention of printing. They raised families of useful children. They saved a compe- tence for old age. They were not abeve wearing mended clothes or carrying bundles. ‘With a pardonable pride in people of New England today, not all of whom are descendants of the “founders of New England” either, one may assure the alarmists that the people of New England today are not ‘spending wildly,” nor are they “try- *Ing to outdo one another in a contest | of extravagance.” No one is “throwing money away" in these parts, and real- ly respectable people may be seen wearing ‘“mended clothes” and rying bundles.,” With the same well- known pardonable pride one may point to the increased savings last year of the people of New England, as noted in these columns. The ac-| curacy of the statements of the New York Herald in regard to Americans | generally may not be questioned— | which makes the evident serene sanity | of the people of New England all the | more admirable. “ear- “WILLIE" KEELER.

It would be interesting to hear what Mr. Brisbane has to say about the French mental-healer, Coue, who in- sists that the imagination will always overcome the will in a battle between the two.
