One of the points urged against Hale was that he was a bachelor. On such frivolous issues the advantage is over- whelmingly with the incumbent. No outstanding personality challenged either Senator and the choice of the voters was wise. Either Hale or | Kellogg after service in the Senate is better {qualified than a nonentity without service. Both Senators are supporters of the Adminis- tration, cronies of the President. Their victories |” break the run of misfortune the Administration group suffered in Indiana, Pennsylvania, and lowa. But that is about all that the results mean. The next real primary test is in North Dakota where Senator McCumber must face the voters late this month. A substantial Republican vote against McCum- ber would be a sign indeed. Mex Pete went wild again yesterday. This is the stock that Commissioner Enright helped to make famous. HE convict who escaped from Sing Sing Sun- day night was recaptured yesterday morn- ing only a few miles from the prison. Most of the time the hunt was under way the prisoner claims he was hiding within the prison walls. But Monday evening the escaped convict was “seen” in New York City, An acquaintance re- ported his presence to the police, who made a vigorous search as the result of the information. It is not impossible that this “appearance” in New York may have been part of a scheme to draw attention away from the vicinity of the | prison and so improve the convict's chance to } escape. t More probably, however, it was another ex- | ample of mistaken identification, an honest error, + another example of the fallibility of evidence. | | “SEEING” NOT ALWAYS “BELIEVING.” | “Prima donna” temperament has no place on a the ball field.

HE same day Maine did its time-honored Republican duty by renominating President Harding's friend, Senator Hale, Massachusetts fur- nished the following item of news: While in Northampton, attending a meeting of the trustees of Smith.College, ex-Gov, Samuel 'W. McCall issued a statement in which he said: “I shall not be a candidate for the Republi- can nomination for United States Senator.” At first glance this might seem to lift a load of worry from the sensitive breast of Senator Henry Cabot Lodge. it wili be noted, however, that McCall does Not go so far as to shut off the hopes of those who might later try to persuade him to run as an in- dependent candidate for United States Senator when the renomination of Senator Lodge is as- sured. In a three-cornered Senatorial campaign } there is probably no man in Massachusetts who could take more votes fyom Senator Lodge than could Samuel W. McCall. It will require from Mr. McCall more state- {| ments than that of Monday to satisfy the soul ' of the senior Senator from Massachusetts that all is well in the old Bay State. eae Lee Mi It required seven years to reach a compro- mise on the Eno will. The lawyers were the only ones to profit by the delay. ! PROSECUTION IN GOOD FAITH ? é rs second of the West Virginia trials grow- ‘ ing out of the Logan “war” is drawing to a close. The Rev. J. E. Wilburn is charged with murder | fim the first degree. The probability of conviction seems small. ; First degree murder requires evidence of pre- ; Meditation. The language of the “fighting par- ‘~ gon” was general rather than specific, Jt might have supported a charge of felonious assault, in- citement to riot, or even one of the degrees of manslaughter. Again, as in the Blizzard trial for “treason,” the prosecution seems to have overreached itself. Indeed, it has laid itself open to the charge that it is not seriously trying to convict and punish the leaders of the miners. There is further reason to suspect that the prosecution, at the behest of the operators, is try- ing to prolong and intensify hostility in the region, to provide an excuse for maintaining standing armies of mine guards for use against union efforts ON THE FRAZZLE. E hope perturbed leaders of the Republican Party who are looking for comfort didn’t turn this morning to the editorial pages of the two leading Republican newspapers of this metropolis. If they did they know how Job felt. Under the caption “The Road to Disaster,” the Tribune denounces both the Tariff Bill and the Bonus Bill as “perilous gambles, economically and politically,” and declares that neither bill should be passed this summer. Says the Tribune: “To speculate further along these lines is to invite economic injury and political disaster. Common sense would urge the Republican lead- ers in Congress to adjourn rather than to try to ‘muddle through’ with two such inopportune and dangerous campaign offerings as the tariff and the bonus.” The Herald sees “Republican affairs in the United States Senate brought to a dangerous pass,” chiefly by the political greed of the bonus pushers. The Herald says “Republican majority control has become a pitiful farce and the Senate proceedings resemble a riot.” The Herald adds: “The Republican majority in Congress can- not be incessantly made a laughing stock of by the Democratic minority and retain either the respect or the support of the American people.” In the mean time President Harding has con- sented to have action on the Ship Subsidy Bill postponed—with a wistful hope that when Con- gressmen “take the problem to the people at home” they will “encounter a favorable reaction.” Somehow, despite all effort expended on it, the Republican legislative programme remains just about as popular as a traffic jam on a hot day. Even good, stiff Republican collars are wilting. Some of the trustiest Republican tempers are on the frazzle. Theatrical managers are opposed to daylight saving. Some people had rather spend the added hour of light in healthful outdoor exer- cise. The howl of the amusement sellers Indicates that a good many folks have this preference, NEW YORK KIND TO NEWLYWEDS. meee of New York as a honeymoon centre are sadly lacking. It is easy enough to get an estimate of how many potatoes arrive, how much cotton is exported, how many cars of flour reach the city daily. But no one knows how many newlywed couples see New York as part of their wedding trip. The reason is obvious, Potatoes do not try to masquerade as cabbages. Flour is flour. But newlyweds usually try hard to give every indica- tion of being anything but what they are. It takes an expert observer to be at all certain when he sees a couple of honeymooners. Such a one is the officer of a steamer plying to Bermuda who has observed honeymooners by the thousand in his years of voyaging. He says that New York—in June at any rate—is full of the self- conscious young things. “The bigger the crowds the easier it is to be alone,” this authority points out. “In New York nobody knows them and the city’s too busy to care much one way or the other.” There is more than that. The city is tolerant and sympathetic even when it observes. Volun- tarily as well as involuntarily it makes prov: for honeymooners. First it offers them all they need to be happy. Then it protects them by the kindly breadth of the back it turns on them. ACHES AND PAINS. Thoughtful people agree with Secretary Hughes in his plea that we assume a decent attitude toward other nations, but his remarks add to the puzzle as to who was behind the barrage of mistrust fired from the State Department previous to the Arms Conference, . Maine continues to be one of the politically petri- fled States of the Union, It only shakes up when some ism comes down the line. . Somehow there is a latent sympathy in most of us for a jail-bird who makes an ingenious getaway. . Overheard in the gloaming: He—Suzanne, do you love me? She—Yes, Philip. He—Why, Susanne? Bhe— I give it up! . First we get the tariff, then the bonus, The tarigt pays the bonus and all goes well—exrcept for the tax devoured, .

Vacation Caution To the Editor of The Evening World: At the opening of the vacation sea- son a few words of caution should not be amiss, These may be con- densed thus: 1, There are two kinds of vacationr —the kind that exhausts and wearles and the kind that rests and invigor- ates. It {s easy enough to tell them apart. Choose the latter. 2, See your doctor before you make your cholce of a place. He can help you, Vaccination against typhoid will be wise. 8. When you get to the spot— especially if you are camping—watch carefully the source of your supplies of milk and of water. This is highly important. 4. The best vacation is that which enables a person to build up the high- est power of resistance to the dis- ease assaults that are sure to come later, If it does not accomplish that it is time wasted—or worse than wasted; but if it does it is a success of high value. 5.

NEW YORK TUBERCULOSIS AS- SOCIATION, No. 10 East 39th St. June 19, 19 Outside Wheels Up. To the Editor of The Evening World? I read the letter of Martin Meyer and wondered, My word, how he carried on! Spoofed himself that the public is laboring under a delusion while it’s he that is the dupe all the time! ‘The theory says that the inst.le wheels of an automobile go up when rounding a curve, so he goes no fur- ther but proceeds to tell the public not to believe their eyes but be blind to facts, even as he. I see the outsit2 wheels of an auto go up, but he says no, it can't be; the theory is, and so forth. What Kind of fool business do you call that? He also says that rave trecks are banked on the inside, but, fortunately, they don't build rac® tracks to coincide with his theory; they build them in the shape of bowl—in other words,to overcome the natural forces, not the theoreti- cal forces Meyer, Ph. D., accredits to physics. D. K. BE. A Protest, To the Editor of The Evening World: I have just finished reading an ar- ticle in our evening paper by Mr, August A. Busch, President of the Anheuser-Busch Brewery of St. Louls, in which he charges our own country’s shipping board with permitting sales of liquor on board ships outside the three mile limit. I would like to ask as a citizen of a country I once loved, why such an eutrage is permitted, when here in our own country @ poor, hard work- ing man can't buy even a glass of real bee-, It seems to me it is about time our President and Congress- men woke up to the seriousness of conditions which prevail in this country. Why they should be so blind I simply can't understand. The laboring class is wise; we are not blind and stupid as they seem to think, Next election will tell the tale. To the Evening World | will say, I am proud of the stand you have always taken in regard to the rights of citizens and the stand you have taken against the 18th Amend- ment, which we know was put over on us by a small minority. Mr. Busch’s protest was justified; to think of our Governinent buying beers and wine In Germany to sell on our ships! I sincerely hope this little letter of Mr. Busch's will stir the country as never before. We are being fooled continually by a gov rnment that Is supposed to be one ‘Of the people, bythe people and for the people."’ I. PROTEST. Torrington, Conn., June 14, 192 TAN the World Goes Dry, To the Editor of The Evening World: Young Adoiph Busch has cleared the air, He is right. Admiralty law makes the deck of a ship flying the United States flag to be ‘United States territory,” no matter where that ship may be. By no other logic can the Admiralty law be sustained, and for centuries all civilized Govern- ments have accepted this reasoning. The jurisdiction of each Govern- ment is agreed to extend three miles from shore, and the right of any Government to refuse landing privi- lege to an unwelcome ship is as old as ships and as well-settled as any law can be. Every boat of any kind which carries liquor within the three mile limit of this country carries con- traband, and is in contempt of our laws, our Congress, our court, and our Supreme Charter. An emergency exists, Smugglers are flouting the majesty of the United Stutes! That creates the emergency and justifies the Congress in vassing a law, well within established prec- edents, that would end this affront in the politest way within one year's time for the remotest foreign ship; and that would end nine-tenths of the trouble in one month's time after the passage of such an act, For one of two things would happen instantly—either this flouting of the law of our land woula cease or American shipping would leap to a leaders. mich wee?* be unparal- leled and even unapproachable until the whole world went dry!
