"What I'ricc Glory?"?
The Mayor and certain mem-1
bera of the City Council s??em to i
regard Uie size of the attorneys' 1
fee in the litigation of the city
with the utility corporation!! as
Justification for the action taken
by the Council last week In
abruptly terminating this lltigs- '
lion by virtually uniting tlu?
terms which the corporations I
bave been offering the city for the I
past three years or more.
Without attempting to Justify >
tho fee. The Advauce takes pre
cisely the opposite view. The fact |
that such a fee was charged ludl- 1
cates that the counsel represent
ing the city In this litigation con-1
aldered the victories which they j
won for the city Wtl and not
Pyrrhic. What t!?*? City Council I
did then, in accepting the utilities' '
terms, was to throw away all the '
money that It has cost tliem to j
fight the case in the court, with
out oven attempting to realize
anything on a decision In the
city's favor that was being hand
ed down even while the Council
waa In the act of offering the utII- ^
Ity corporations their own price
for their properties.
In Its effort to be fair, The Ad
vance has given Mayor Goodwin
the opportunity to express in Its1
columns his reasons for the step
taken; but we do not wish to bel
understood an retracting one Inch
from the stand taken by this
newspaper In the first Instance
when It learned of what the City
Council had done in Its special
session of last Wednesdsy. We
are still convinced that the action
was hasty and III advised and that
at least s show of effort should
hsve been made at compromise
and that then, that falling, arbi
tration should have been resorted
to. Our Idea, and we ank no
body to take It for more than
what It is worth. Is that the
Mayor's contention that the city
stood a reasonsble chsnce of hav
ing to pay more thsn 1375.000 for
their property? by srbltrstlon Is
absurdly ridiculous and ridicu
lously absurd.

New York. Oct. ??The radio
day In being accused uf taking 1
all the "pep" out 01 the Presi
dential campaign. It It? ho easy
to stay at home. Hit In the old
rockliiK chair and wear the old
*lippern, and hear all the spell-'
hinders In the vicinity, why
should any one go to a political
meeting?
Even tin? l'r< sldent of the I "nit-1
ed State? will on occasion* come'
to your doorstep* and knock for
admittance on' the radio. The ?
downtrodden electorate Ih coiii In k
Into I Ih own ut last. The campaign
Ih being brought to it. The elec
torlite doe* not hove to go out1
and llfihj ih* crowd* aud
lice -nnd ret It* Tujek**** pieke^H
and all the other Inconvenience*
i that belonged to the old political!
; order. e _ _ .
n> the same'token'the eTecfor
, ate (Iwrni'l have to yell it*elf
hoarse over IIh favorite candi-,
date. It I* figured, however, that ,
?more people are being reached
with political propaganda than
ever before In the history of the
country. Thl* may be alright
from tli? educational point of
view, but It 1* taking all the Are
and the color out of the content.,
It 11 making the alien t tote more
silent than ever and the political
prognostlratorK are up a tree In
most of the doubtful vicinities.
| _ Tlii: .radio la grt-at for tola g out;
after the vole hut then in DO re
sponse to It. You can't tell
whether your stuff Ih getting over.
That is why moat of the old time
' political orators hate the micro
| phone h ml all it* work*. Thia type,
or orator never haa viry much to
Ray and nothing much on his mind J
when he-starts to say it.- _ -7
He fit-is fatupon applause or
laughter or cheera and he even
enjoya the conventional "come
backs" he can nivo to the heck-}
lor?. There Is nothing more chll-'
ling than to tell a funny story in
to a radio broadcastinK machine.
Few of the most expert of the
stage comedians can do It. Occa
sionally two comedians working
together can put over some funny i
stuff, but It is well nigh Impos
sible when one works alone.
The radio Is ideal for a man of
the temperament of President
Coolidgo and also admirably suit*
his particular style of speakiog. i
His voice, while full of typical j
Yankee Inflections, flows rather i
smoothly and evenly and once the
listener-in gets his dials set Just j
right his worries are at an end.
This even flow of language Is n
delight also to the broadcasting ?
export*. They measure a man's
voice and when a speaker has
wld?* varianc?* In his volume of
?XpmalOB It keeps an engineer1
busy with the modulating appara- i
tus. The President .never utters |
any unexpected sounds.
The late President Roosevelt
would have been a hard one to'
handle on the radio. He had that !
famous falsetto pitch to his volco. I
sprung upon an audience without
a single note of warning. Young'
T. It. has the same trick In his
speech. Inherited from the elder
generation, and while he Is to
make 185 speeches In 18 days of
campaigning for governor of New
York state It la not belloved a
treat deal of It will go well over
the radio.
Senator LaFolfette has had to
change his oratorical style, com
pletely for broadcast work. More
than once he has found himself
betwoen Scylla and Charybdls. He
has had to disappoint either his
j visible audience which expected i
some of the old-tliae LaFollette
fireworks, or hI? Invisible audl
'ence which had to be "told" in a
carefully modulated voice. Much
of the effect of the Senator's blK
speech in Madison Square harden
recently was lost upon the 12.000
or1 13,000 packed Into the audi
torium. because he was so Intent
upon getting his message out on
the air that he kept his mouth
i close to the microphone and did
not emphasize his points with the
usual I?aPollettlan manners and
gestures.
So here again the radio Is rob
bing tne campaign of Its "pep."
It not only keeps scores of thous
ands of potential political rooters
at home, but It chills to a large
degree those that go to meetings
where the speeches are to be
broadcast. It begins to look as if
the orators would have to divide
{their efforts, making their radio
speech?? in the seclusion of a
studio and forgetting the radio
completely when they are actually
on the stump.

ty Attorney Leigh had prepared
an ordinance which would have
required the muzzling of dogs on .
the city street when not In con-.;
trol of their owners, but Council-|
men thought that "under the con

tic a phrase. They pasaed the
ordinance requiring the muzzling'
of dogs on the street on the re
commendation of Dr. C .B. Wll-j
liama. County Physician.
- Suggestion -was ?made--that It
would not be necessary to make k
the ordinance effective during the

but I)r. Williams said tjiat so far
as he kn?*w cold weather was no
