Even correspond ence between them shows a notable falling off. Q -:o: The Gregorian calendar, which has been in general use 3 centuries, has just been adopted by the Russian Orthodox church. Great movements are slow. Historians tell that for two hundred years peasants of one of the old countries carried their sack of wheat to mill with a stone to bal ance It on the horse's back, before someone thought of dividing the grain itself. :o: According to the guy with the cash register there are more autos in proportion to population in the small towns than in the large ones. The little cities of from 1,000 to 5.00C souls house only 9 per cent of the population of the country, but they possess over 20 per cent of the motor cars. In the small town the Ford seems to have taken the place of the wheelbarrow. :o; Railroads in the last 10 months put into service more new freight cars and locomotives than in any cor responding period of the last 10 yeara. The exact figures are .151, 872 freight cars and 3,371 locomo tives. This is less than the steel in dustry hoped-for, because railroad buying for several years had been very low. But it's a lot of new equip ment and it'll help prevent shortage of cars and motive power a decided factor in cost of living, especialjy cosh f . Another thing we like about liv ing in a small town is that you don't have to let on like you are making $20,000 a year. -:o: Recovering from the Thanksgiving feast should not make us insensible to the necessity of early Christmas shopping and mailing. :o: America must wait, we are told. , for the billions due us from Euro pean countries. No change of hab its will be required over here. :o: of these doesn't know about party management, if anything, the other two bosses know perfectly. It is a triumvirate with six eyes on results. A major event is required to get the attention of so formidable a group of men. They have no time for mere political frivolities, hut when the presdency of the United States is the stake even these business citizens are sufficiently interested to devote some days to its discussion. So Murphy Taggart and Brennan travel to French Lfck for their quad renial appraisal. Mr. Murphy would like to see Al Smith in the White House. Mr. Tag gart and Mr. Brennan are willing to help, although the former has a half notion that the party might run better chance to win with Senator Ralston at the head of the ticket. The trouble with Smith is that the American people seem to have no en thusiasm for him. Of course, the triumvirate might nominate him, but even their perspicacity and power could not be counted on to elect him. A wet candidate who carries a key to, Tammany's front door does not appeal as a winning probability, even when viewed through the spectacles of French Lick optimism. Nothing less than catching anoth er "cross of gold speech In next year's convention could, the three wise men believe, carry the day for Smith, and so far as his repertory. With Smith thus practically elimi nated, the conferences are a bi puz zled. They are opposed to McAdoo. The thought of Ford gives them cold shivers. Ralston might do, but they doubt it. Underwood they bar for geographical reasons; - Davis because it requires too much explaining as to who he is. So the triumvirate leaves French Lick not much wiser, so far as the public knows, than when they ar rived. They still insist they will control at least a third of the con vention, enough to veto any nomina tion not agreeable to their high po litical ideals, if not enough actually to nominate. ' They think they can dictate-the platforms - BuT there is small profit in naming candidates and principles if the probability re mains that both are likely to be re- ected at the polls. The trouble with the Murphy-Tag- gart-Brennan game Is that advanc- ng political intelligence .has pretty nearly outlawed it. It does not dove- tail with presidential primaries and state preference votes. .' Primaries 1 are not yet perfected to the point where they can be depended on to control a national convention, as several recent nominations show, but they do exert a powerful influence. No three or any other number of bosses can say seven months before a convention what more than a thou sand delegates will do. If we were to advise any aspirant for next year's democratic nomina tion we should suggest the desirabil ity of not letting his candidacy get too closely identified with the wish es of the triumvirate at French Lick.

They are suffer ing to relieve unfortunate orcupahts of the White House of their strenu ous duties by creating fonr or five more departments or cabinet posi tions. It is hoped that President Coolidge, who seems to be a hard boiled nutmeg-state New Englander, will not fall for these kindly offers of the bureaucrats he knows hard work never hurt anybody. More presidents have had their ca reers shortened, by banqueting, strong, dark cigars, and social life forced upon them by the cruelties of hard work, or even the worriment of appointing people to dffice. The bureaucrats are always ready to propose a new cabinet' position, or a hew department, and then fas ten the myriad occupants on to tax payers for life. -:o:- FATE OF C00IIDGE Republicans who have for weeks been fearing the effects of President Coolidge's silence on their chances of victory in 1924 are now dreading the consequences of his speech to con gress. They are growing more and more uneasy as the time for the pub lication of his messagp draws closer.
