OVERDOING THE FILELD The ambition of Frank A. Munsey to make one newspaper grow where two g appears to have failed. Mr Munsey, regarded by many critics as the| greatest dealer in metropolit®h news- papers of modern times, must ook askance at developments since his recent elimination of the New York Herald through its amalgamation with the New York Tribune. The outlook now is that New York city promises to be oversupplied with newspapers, or supplied to the ex- treme saturation point. The fleld there 1s enormous, of course, but it is doubtful if it hasn't its limitations, even in the promulgation of such‘ [ silly journalism as a few of the new- | comers are following. | Two addittonal newspapers been started since Mr. Munsey “kill- ed” the New York Herald, and an« w before in New York city have ford, another negro.

FAVORS THE FAVORITE SON The Boston Post, an independent Democratic newspaper with the largest circulation in New England, announces that it proposes to sup- port Calvin Coolidge, ‘“not because he is a Republican but in spite of it." “ye are not blind to the short- comings of the Republican party in the past four years,” the Post says by way of explanation. “Much of its record is little short of disgraceful. As a party it does not deserve to win. Calvin Coolidge doe! The paper refers to its “duty” as a New Lngland-newspaper to sup-! port & New England president. The favorite son {dea seems to be the guidepost of its reasoning, which includes thq following: o “Amid all the admitted wrong do- ing of the Republican regime, our New England president stands out clean and blameless. He mherited a situation which would have crush- ed a clear-headed and fesolute man. He grappled with it courageously and efficiently.” ‘When the Post goes as far as that it appears to be mangling the record. In the first place, President Harding himself stood out as “clean and blameless” a8 any president could have done, Harding's fault, as virtu. ally everyone {8 agreed, was that he permitted hard-boiled politicans to enter the government under the mis- taken belief that they were, K goft- boiled.

He did not take an adding machine with him and he did not need one, He found that there were eighit American flags on poles on or near Main street. Of, these two are flown every day, 8o the net result was, six. The parade was something which deserves tommendation, It ‘fa’ dif- floult to stir the average American up to & high pitch of excitement during times of -peace.

He Illkes to see' parades, but as for getting out ‘and joining the ranks, well he {un wont, and that's that. Perhaps it is self-conselousness, It certainly 1s not lack of patriotism because in the hour of stress your American reponds promptly and with his fists doubled, ready for ac- tion. The juveniles in the parade were splendid. The 'Boys' club band made a blg hit on its first ofticial appearance in this city. The Girl Scouts drum corps: received the usual ovation along the line of march. The chlldren_g‘om the Pol- ish school, dressed in their national costume, lent-a touch -of color to the procession which should not be allowed to pass without favorable comment. Young America was in his ‘glory at Walnut Hill park during the mimic warfare. It was with diffi- culty that the military companies executed their exhibition because the proverblal small boy insisted on '| crowding. He had the time of his young life with a thrill a minute. And when the guns began fo pop, well, he was just boy and most of us who were once boys but now are decorous, more or less, aduits, en- 1 joyed watching him and knew all about the shivers running up and down his spine. If the boy lost the real meaning of the day in the ex- citement of the moment, who will blame him, and who won't wish that “them days were not gone for- ever?” R A review of the day would not be complete without proper apprecla- tion of the policemen and firemen. Fine, husky, upstanding men, Chlef Hart and Chief Noble can well take ride in them. They were one of he principal features of the parade and thé Observer hopes they will turn out as often as the opportunity permits. . . . Defense. Day was the sixth anni- versary of the first great achieve- ment of the American forces in the World war, the wiping out of the St. Michiel salient. This was one of the very few completely success- ful maneuvers of the entire war, being executed with dazzling rapid- ity and achieving its objective with but comparatively little loss té the American forces. The St. Michiel salient, east of the famed Verdun, dug deep into the allied communications and was a constant menace. Early on the morning of September 12, 1918, Pershing's men, acting in conjunc~ tion with French troops, unexpect- edly struck both sides of the salient with great force. 8o sudden was their move that they met with but Iittle resistance and advanced rap- idly. The Gérmans, to escape the closing jaws of the trap, streamed northward in full retreat, but ear- ly in the morning of the 13th the converging Amerlcan forces met on the road near. Vigneulles and closed the avenue of escape, bagging over 12;000 German prisoners and great quantities of war material. The clearing of this four-year-old salient with such ease was the brightest spot in the American cam- paign in France, for much ground and glory was won by troops which suffered relatively small losses. It cleared the western front of its last dangerous position and pre- pared the way for'the general ad- vance which followed. It further showed that the quality of the American troops was as good as that of the othbr Allies and that the A. E. F. was the preper unit for thes clearing of the Argonne forest, perhaps the most diffFult oftensive operation in the war. And, in connection with Defense day, it showed that good preparation and |a quick, smashjng start saved much time and many lives. * R New Britain men who visit bar- ber shops—and most of them do at least for a hair cut—will welcome with open arms the announcement that a Main street barber is soon to move into new quarters where there will be two separate roofns, one for men.and.the other for wom- en.

FRANK CRANE'S DAILY EDITORIAL '_______________.____——————————'— " Science and Crime By DR. FRANK CRANE \Ir. Burdette G. Lewis, the Commiasioner of Institutions and Agencies’ fn New Jersey, and in charge of the prisons and hospitals of that state, declares: = > “Soclety can wipe out a great proportion of crimes of violence, and indeed of all crimes, whenever it wants to.” His plan is to detect dangerous abnormalities in childhood and gor- rect them. He admits, hpwever, that criminals of certain groups aré be- yond cure at birth. Among these are moral imbeciles, persons who have no power of distinguishing right from wrong. Even in these cases, he contends that medical treatment given to the mothers before birth might result in the subject's coming into the world normal. “It is chiefly’through the schools, public and priyate,” says Mr. Lewis, “that the ideal community of the future wilj do its work of detpcting the possible trouble makers. The search will not necessarily be for ‘bad boys,’ so-called. The net may let them slip through its meshes being perfectly normal boys and it may catch boys who -never ‘give the teacher a minute’s worry. “Such a net was spread, recently, in a State university west of the Alleghanies. The haul showed that among.the undergraduates of that in- stitution there were forty-five moral idiots.
