Today
Slowly Breaking.
Coolidge Not Troubled.
And Civilization Goes
I On'—
Eastman s 21 Millions,
^By ARTHUR BRISBANE^
The convention, tired of hearing
itself balloting, reading over names
and figures, adjourned a little be
fore 4 Wednesday until 8 in the
evening. That will give men run
ning things in private rooms, away
from the convention, a chance to
i “3ee” delegates, and “talk sense."
News of the afternoon was Mis
souri's break, a majority going
from McAdoo to John W. Davis,
tairing the entire 36 votes to Davis
under the unit rule.
John W. Davis’ vote rolled up to
129% votes on the 24th and last
ballot of the afternoon.
Smith had 308, a gain of 68 over
the first ballot; McAdoo 438%, a
gain of seven over the first ballot.
When the break came in Mis
souri, William J. Bryan left to
consult with McAdoo at the Van
derbilt hotel, six blocks up Fourth
avenue. There will be a lot of con
sulting and arranging done. Bryan
I will fight the nomination of John
: W. Davis as he fought that of
Jf Parker, perhaps no more success
fully.
! At this time, just before the night
session, the opinion of politicians
is that both Smith and McAdoo
will be eliminated, each being strong
enough to kill off the other.
[ A colorless candidate would suit
the powerful element in the demo
cratic party that wants peace first
i'i of all, and would be content to let
y democrats run his office, while re
publicans run the government.
■ That kind of candidate wouldn’t
disturb Mr. Coolidge’s peace of
mind.
in fact, no candidate would dis
turb Mr. Coolidge much, judging
by conditions now.
Mr. Stone, attorney general, hav
ing indicted the biggest oil and gas
oline companies, about 50 of them,
and the chief figures in the oil
scandal, fcas taken the “oil issue”
away from the democratic party
and made it a republican issue, and
a first-class one.
i If the democrats know enough
to nominate Senator Walsh of Mon
tana, they could get back their is
sue. He is the man that made the
indictment and the prosecutions
necessary. But to nominate Walsh
would require two things. First,
common sense; second, emancipa
tion of the democratic party from
the power that nominated Parker.
There is one pleasant thing
about politics. You turn your face
away from the cheating and lying,
bribing and treachery, to find the
! real civilization, with which poli
tics has little to do, is steadily
progressing.
Three United States flying ships,
manned by skillful, courageous
men, have becun their daily flights
across the continent.
And the executive departments
and scientific establishments of the
government are in conference at
the Navy department, planning a
thorough investigation of ocean
ography.
When there are enough Ameri
can flying machines in the air and
American submarines exploring
. wealth hidden under the ocean,
It there will be no more worry about
interference from other countries,
European or Asiatic. And that
will come.
Five year ago, George Eastman
of Rochester allowed fi,000 em
ployes of his Kastman Kodak com
pany to subscribe for stock in the
company at par. Yesterday the
employes got their stock, worth
; $21,000,000.
They paid just half that price
for it, originally, making a profit
of 100 per cent. That’s a good
way to encourage good work and
interest workers in their jobs.
Patriotic reformers that favor
control of campaign contributions
and want to keep predatory wealth
out of politics, might begin by build
ing a big hotel or boarding house
somewhere for political delegates.
In New York already many dele
gates are hard up, tired of the big
hotel bills, ready to listen to almost
anything in reason, to get home
and away from the expense.
William Jennings Bryan told this
1 writer yesterday that while he ac
cepted the “facts” of the Darwin
ians, he rejected their conclusions.
“ ‘The cow has milk, the cocoanut
has milk, the milkweed has milk.’
I say yes to all that. But when
they tell me that the cow, through
evolution, descends from the milk
weed, I say no."
What will Mr. Bryan say to the
maki, fresh from Africa, living at
this moment in the Bowery, not far
from Mr. Bryan’s room at the Wal
dorf? The Maki makes a noise
like a wild turkey, has a long tail,
red fur, topaz eyes, with an ex
pression like that of a candidate
whose delegates are leaving him.
It ia said to be the link between
the monkey and the raccoon.
■ .
Except by evolution, how can
Mr. Bryan explain that maki, or
the blue-faced mandrils, the swine
monkeys that came with it? Is it
conceivable that a Supreme Being
separately manufactured all those
queer creatures merely to amuse
Adam and Eve in the garden? It
seems unlikely, especially as the
Supreme Being, being omniscient,
knew that Adam and Eve wouldn’t
stay in the garden long, not half
long enough to count the animals.
Japanese are worrying our de
voted missionaries, declaring that
Americans no longer have the right
to preach Christianity in Japan.
That’s sad, but, of course, it is for
the Japanese to decide whether
they want to get to heaven or not.
It isn’t for their amusement that
missionaries are trying to have
plenty of Asiatic associates in heav
en although the United States na
tion declines to have them here.

Girl Sells Pop

ing lee.
■ '1 —“ •
"I am sending this dollar bill
to buy milk for the poor babies
who need it. I earned this money
selling pop. I have a pop stand
at Thirty-ninth and Dfidge streets.
In the corner of our yard.
• GRACE C. REDICK."
Bless you, Grace! The next time
we pass that corner we're going to
patronize your stand and drink pop
till we fairly ‘‘bust.”
You have learned early that it is a
blessed thing to help the poor and
helpless. It is a thing that pays big
dividends in happiness all through
the years.
Money Is greatly needed to care
for the Increasing number of babes
and small children in homes of pov
erty who are In danger through the
heat of summer.
You may not have time to operate
a pop stand, but you can probably
afford to give a dollar or two to this
praiseworthy work. Give now, If you
can, because the need Is great and
urgent.
