From a, eachuet et entitled to the use for hes credited to {tor Dot otherwise SEP ihe focal news pu herein AL SMITH. aaa GOVERNOR, by a plurality that beats all records for a Associated wis now Governor-elect Gubernatorial candidate! One of the greatest testimonials of public es- teem ever bestowed on a son of this or any other Commonwealth was what the people of New York gave Al Smith yesterday. No other man could have piled up such a mountain of votes against Gov. Miller and Gov. Miller's record. No other man could have so gloriously fulfilled the desire of good Democrats of the Empire State to rehabilitate their party and set a shining ex- ample to an aroused Wemocracy aii over the Nation. What happened yesterday was worthy tribute to the Al Smith who stood by his’ guns at Syra- cuse and saved his party from the millionaire demagogue Hearst. It completes the work of Syracuse in the Democratic Hearst. ‘Moreover, the Smith victory was something in- finitely surpassing a Tammany victory, amazing up-State vote for Smith proves. The Syracuse Convention contest meant inevi- table concessions in the Democratic State plat- form—concessions which many Democrats were bound to regret. The Evening World was frankly sorry to see one plank in that platform a sweeping pledge to undo the work of the present Transit Commis- gion, It was frankly sorry to hear Al Smith in- dorse that promise in the campaign. When Gov. Miller imposed his Transit Law on the City of New York no one objected more strenuously than The Evening World to the high-handed manner in which the Governor went about it. Even against the telling argument of Hylan inaction and incompetence, this newspaper up- held the fundamental principle of home rule and the city’s right to something Thore than a voice in the settlement of its own traction affairs. There is no question that the just protest which arose from the City of New York against too heavy-handed an exercise of State authority in- repudiation of as the oo ie eleneeernennnenaseneienneinrenanet einen tien fluenced the composition of the Transit Commis- sion and its subsequent attitude and policies. Protest against up-State political domination will continue until removed. ‘ constitutional causes are The fact remains, however, that the present Transit Commission has not done what there were just fears it might do, It has not favored the traction It has put forward » com- prehensive 5-cent fare plan based on expert study companies and prepared at no small cost + The Evening World cannot believe that even with a Democratic Legislature, Al Smith would ever attempt—merely for the sake of flattering whe Hylan Administration—to sweep aside all the Transit Commission has done to date Al Smith is not the man to keep the ty wait- ing for transit relief in order to gratify Hylan hatred of the Transit Commission by trying to Substitute a scheme Al Smith is not the man ever to confuse munic- ipal home rule with Hylan misrulc The Evening World hopes and believe That Al Smith, will oppose Hylan pettiness with the same broad-minded determina tion shown by Al Smith Authority ; That Al Smith, for municipal home rule on a plane above that of a Hylan-fammany aap for patronage and graft. € Al Smith's whole record justifies this wild and costly Hylan transit Governor memoer of the Governor, wiil keep the faith And if ever 4 man should feel proud, hon ored by public confidence and strong to deserve it, Al Smith is that man to-day. OUR NEW SENATOR. FRHROUGH one of the most astonishing over- politics, Dr. Roygl S. Copeland becomes Senator-elect from New York State. Picked out of a disc a turns American ind of Democratic hope- lessness, he was nominated, not from any desire but because none of the gentlemen the hazard of the of his own, with ambitions cared to rick campaign. Dr. Copeland to the people of the State doctrine of democracy 4 once. to show himself began at tanding on the simple against the privilege- / peddler who opposed ti not a Smith wave is That he was not swe} quite clear. Opposing an accomplished politician who never allowed a hole to appear in his fences Dr. Copeland wins as representing the great re- buke handed the Harding Administtation and the Tariff Jobbers in the United States Senate. The people have discovered the hollowness of Normalcy; they have discerned the fatuity of the theory of protection applied to a country that can always sell more than it buys. American common sense has again asserted itself in no uncertain terms. ALL FOR HIZZONER! Mayor Hylan’'s first characteristic comment on Al Smith's victory ts “The Miller-McAneny traction plan {s dead. McAneny and $15,000 par-each associates are through.” Maybe the Mayor really thinks yesterday's landslide was for his special benefit. Maybe he , thinks it was meant solely to sweep the un- speakable Mr. McAneny out of his path. That fs about as far as the yor ever thinks nowadays. AS ORDERLY AS IT WAS SWEEPING. Miller and Generai Gilbert failed to HE gloomy forebodings of Gov. Deputy Attorney materialize. Yesterday's elections were orderly to an un- usual degree The courts open for election cases were vir- tually idle. The police found little er nothing to do as far as maintaining order was concerned. Not even Gilbert's partisan watchers found much of anything to criticise or condemn. A big vote was polled. Men and women went to the polls and cast their ballots in a quiet, peacable and orderly manner. That the whole story The $100,000 fund Mr. Gilbert administered doesn't score as one of the Miller economies.

WHAT IS CONTENTMEN’ Sitting beside ‘a fire, with a stomach a rich milk, is the tabby cat’s idea of contentment. Digging furiously at the mouth of a hole into which a chipmunk has just disappeared better suits the average pup. The eat will hunt on occasion and the dog will sleep by the fire. But preferably the cat sleeps and the dog digs. Contentment—which is most people's idea of happiness —will be defined by the billion and a half people in the world in a billion and a half different ways. Your right-hand neighbor may think it consists of roll- ing about over the country in an automobile with a chauffeur sitting importantly at the wheel. Your left-hand neighbor may think it means lying on his back under the car, trying to find out with a screwdriver and a wrench what is the matter with the oil feed system. If contentment were definitely defined as a certain dition, and a law passed b. there would be a revolution filled with n nation making it compulsory, week after it had passed. In America the drys are contented with the Prohibition law—all except its method of enforcement—and the are furiously discontented with it. There is a question whether contentment, which is al- most eve man's ambition, is very good for him after he has got it. When it takes the form of an acquired fortune it is de- structive, for it usually removes all incentive for good work and keeps the world. from the fruits, of an intelligent and productive mind, The readers of these articles have supplied many defini- tions of wealth and ambition which have been interesting to other readers. We should like their ideas of contentment and will be glad to print them, so that perhaps for the first time we shall be getting an average idea of what constitutes the perfects peace of mind for which, theoretically at least, we have all been straggliig since our cave ancestors first made their habitation wild beast proof and were able, for a part of their time at least, to “rest ae We hope our readers will make their letters short and really try in them to define the condition which they think best suited to bring happiness to healthy, right-thinking men and women. wets easy. : STE for the time and effort of honest oc- Whose Birthday? agains the Neg Perces Indians, and] oination, Voluntary idleness is only OY, §-OLIVER OTIS HOWARD, | 1) fhe Hace venn dateated to enforced idleness 1s far s wornling oe 6 he wis promoted to Industry, honest oceu us American General, was t ee the rank of Major General mot dior she e th Nit of the 4 oF 3 dled | tirec 9 : ea a le ati Miaibnean dita Lecds, Me,, Nov, § 1880, and dled /tired in 1594, living until hs death af Kia ty put upon {dienes th et, £6, 1909.

Instead, he entered into negotiations with the Turks, and the upshot of the negotiations was that the Turks re- cognized him as prince of almost all the southwestern part of Serbia, Hence the Austrian jibes at the Obre- dynasty as the ‘‘swineher@ {a early age, a shep- brother, Milam pering greatly At that time the for export was the his step Many Europeans have told of the rough-hewn peculiarities of ‘‘self- made’ Americans.
