OF DEMOCRATIC DODGERS., , Mr. Bryan, by all signs and portents, prom ises f be the one big man at the San Francisco convention. His preliminary work rivals and in our judgment excels that of the president, in. true leadership, of the democratic party. '. This is certainly true if it be the .purpose of .leader ship to put the party away decently and jn.order at the election, with a hope of subsequent resur rection in 1924. If it be the purpose to end all .past, present and future in one stupendous party disaster, Mr. Wilson may wear the horns. ' Mr. Bryan is stirring his party's conscience He says: . The democratic convention is fiet far off, and a number of democrats are offering them selves as candidate's they are not making a canvass for delegates, but are eagerly .recepive.. SEEB Strange' that none "of them have seen fif to 'tout line a platform or announce their position on "T't"?" public questions. Why? Do they think them selves so superior to platforms that issues cut" no figure? Or do they think there are no issues? Or are they afraid? - - "Prohibition is an issue. Shall the demo cratic party stand for the amendment that was ratified bv every democratic state, or become .. the champion (if an outlawed traffic? What say" you, candidates a;. ,"And what aoout thi treaty? .

Mr. Bryan has his I faults,. but with them he has principle and cour tage, and he is neither a dodger nor a shk.ui just now' he is calling in vain upon, 'a group 'of artful dodgers who seek party preferment by way of the back stairs. Mr. Bryan and Mr. Wil son alone stand at the front door, while the can-1 didates seek to enter covertly and, take posset ' sion of the plurn without being taged;by eithej one of them. Liking and Loving. Discussing the prayer book marriage service in which the man and woman promise to love each other until death parts them, and criticisms of the vow because love sometimes dies, the American Church Monthly presents a curious'' statement of what love means in the marriage ceremony. We quote it: ' .. Underlying this criticism there is a strange confusion of thought, which is extremely common in these days. H is the confusion of loving with liking. What people really mean when they speak of a man and woman being in love with each other is that they like each, ' other. They are sexually attracted to one another, they -re congenial in their tastes, social habits, thinking and spiritual and moral ideas. .. To love here means what it means in the New Testament. It means to be kind, to protect, to help, to befriend, to make sacrifice for, to forgive. It is one of the fruits of the Spirit, and it should be the spiritual gift most : desired by all who in faith and repentance re ceive the sacrament of holy matrimony. If , this kind of love has been lost it can always be regained if only the husband and the wife will allow the good Lord to bring them back into a state of grace. ,,. . . This exposition is not exactly in harjnony with the dictionary, which defines the verb like as "to be attracted towards or pleased with; to regard with favor; to enjey." On the other hand, the verb love is defined as "tender and , passionate affection for one of the opposite sex," -.' The popular and common acceptation of love as a sound reason for marriage is that it is'an ardent affection so strong that a man and v woman who experience it for each other can never be happy unless-united for life. It means more than a mere liking or admiration for one of the opposite sex. A married person may J have that feeling toward a score of persons. ! i t , ,T4ie love for the true life mate is the most deep- 1 , seated of all human emotions, and as we believe can never be felt for more than one) person of the opposite sex at a time. , . . .,v The Monthly continues: When a man and woman who like each other very much come to the church to be joined together in holy matrimony the church is not so foolish as to require them to promise that they will always like each other an will: .never be bored by each other's society. No human being in his senses would make such a vow as that. . The church asks them to promise that they will love and cherish one another, "for better, for worse, for richer, for t poorer, in sickness and In health," until death parts them. 1 ;i The explanation seems inadequate to us. We-; wonder wnat othys think on this subject Love'; has always meant more than liking to us.' Which Shall Be First? " Four opinions' of the League-Of Nations are held in the United States, two in the republican party and two in the democratic party. -.-Some democrats are for it exactly as sub mitted to the senate by the president; others consent to reservations whicli will nftt destroy the vitality or authority of the covenant Some republicans are for it with-reservations that will unquestionably safeguard the United States from participation in European wars and not vitiate our sovereignity; otberj ajc flatly against it as a thing dangerous to tour national independence. . . . , i .-..,,,.,' "'The vital point in these differences of opinion is this: The democrats as a whole aire for Uhe League, with reservations only if, they cannot be avoided, but for the League First. The republicans, as a whole, are for a league only if it shall be constructed without the slightest weakening of the Independence and sovereignty of our Ration, but for Our Country First,.. . .. t . t In other words, one party is for the League First and above everything else. The other ?s for the United State First and above every thing else, Take, your choice. t '. Sunday Ice Delivery. Mayor Smith is right in his stand on the Sun day ice delivery. ' Experience of last summer taught him, as it taught the people of Omaha, the impracticality of forbidding the supply of this 'pre-eminent' necessity" of summer-time health and comfort on,jhe seven-day schedule. He, like all the rest of the community, -sympathizes with the drivers of ice wagons, and wants them to have one day of rest in seven. Lv: That this desirable end may be accomplished without; the necessity of interrupting a service that is most essential to the health of the people is amply proven by experience in other indus tries. A schedule of working days may be ar ranged so,as to give each man engaged by the ,ice companies one complete day off each week, and without shutting down on delivery on any one day"! ? ' . This is the private aspect of the case. The public's rights are tO'have the service. Ice is needed to preserve food, to cool drinks and for other good and recognized purposes, and is as much needed on Sunday as on any other day. Very many of the housekeepers have no facili ties for storing sufficient ice to last from Satur day until Monday. Under the city ordinances, they are forced to buy their provisions for Sun day use ths day before, and must have ice for he preservation of perishable foods. Likewise, the sick and the babies need ice continually dur ing hot weather, and finally, as last summer showed, to be deprived of ice on a hot Sunday works an inexcusable hardship on everybody. Theemployes of the ice .companies are en titled to-a day of rest in each seven-dar. period, and easily may have it if the proper arrange ments are made. But Mayor, Smith is eminently correct in his refusal to submit an ordinance to forbid the delivery of ice on Sunday. The Harding Ancestry. The Hardings or Hardens were fighting men, says the Toronto Globe, discussing the Scotch and Dutch ancestry of he presidential candi date. It quotes from 'Scott's Lay of the Last Minstrel: 5 f Yes, I am come of high degree, " For I am the heir bold Buccleuch, And if thou dost not set me free, False Southron, thou shalt dearly ruel For Walter of Harden shall come with speed, ' And .William ofyDeloraine, good at need, And every Scot ' ronv Esk to Tweed, .And if 'thou dost not let me go.N ''epite thy arrows and, thy bow, j I'll have thee hanged to feed the crows! Billions for Unnecessary Things. Last year the American people spent twenty two billions;, of dollars, ion . nonessentials nd Juxuries. ' Th'e Wall' Street Journal says it may not be long until they are compelled to choose between food and luxuries. No doubt "there's a sharp turn in the road .somewhere iahead.

An Old War Anecdote.- 1 Captured American soldiers told many ridiculous stories to Germans who sought information from them, usually of a character intended to puzzle and mislead the enemy.'" A good one of the same type has been remem bered of t the fxatracidal conflict between - the North and the South in the 60's. Two outposts were within hailing, dis.tance of each other. "Hello, Johnny," sang out the Union picket, "what regiment is yours?" "The Twelfth Vir ginia! What's yours, Yank?" "The 175th Rhode Island." "You lie, Yank! , Thar ain't a hundred and seventy-five men in Rhode Island." Asked what his foreign policy would be by a French newspaper, the New York Mail says Senator Harding replied: "This is not a one--man government, but I will say this: IfI be come chief executive I assure you J will foster the spirit of friendship with France." Do you get "one-man government" business? We thought you would. . Now it is said the reticent Col. House is bound for Europe to persuade Ambassador Davis to accept the democratic nomination for the presidency,' because he is the only man Mr. Wilson approves. We doubt the story. There is One who would be all right And then there's William 1 It is, a curious fact that in the three national Republican conventions marked by prolonged balloting,- OTiio born men were nominated Garfield. Harrison and Harding. Two of them i were elected and it seems certain that the third will be, also. . ... , Vice President Marshall says he would do anything for Harding except vote for him!

Windows meant nothing in the life of the civilian in charge. A detail, comprising men' from the outfit, was formed, and our duty was a fully restoration of the useful purpose of the windows.

' It takes a generation- to make pro hibition effective, and there are .still a few thousands who will be int,er. ested in the recently published con clusions of a British research commission-on alcohol, v There are, 1ri fact,; two reports, one dealing with the art of getting drunk and the other- with the effects. The report .relates to the acute effects alone, nothing being said about chronic alcoholism or, any late ef fects of alcoholism. ''Speaking generally,' the effects of alcoholism are proportionate to the amount of alcohol consumed, though there are exceptions. A beverage containing 50 per cent alcohol is ten times as intoxicating as one contain ing 5 per cent alcohol. A man can get just as drunk on S per cent beer as he can on 50 per cent .whisky, pro vided he takes ten times as much of the beer and In the same length of time. The experimenters not only Judged of drunkenness by the usually ac cepted signs,, but they analyzed the blood to discover the amount of al cohol It contained. . The research commission thinks still more work should bw Vlone along the same lines. The amount of alcohol in the blood reaches its maximum in about one hour after drinking. , The body gets rid of alcohol slowly, about twenty hours being required to rid the blood entirely Of It.- - The effect " is about the same, whether a-man. takes ail of his drink at-one drink or as several drinks, provided the Intervals between drinks is less than three hours. Diluting alcohol slows up the rate of Its absorption. A liquor contain ing 20 per cent alcohol gets into the blood quicker than one containing 5 per cent.' . . Thecommission compared the ef fects of , whisky and stout.. The whis ky useefceontained 28.5 per cent alco hol. - The two specimens of stout 6.5 and S.9 respectively. They conclude that the alcohol in stout absorbs morejilpwly. both because it is more dilute '"and"' also because there is something in stout which makfes it absorb slowly. The barroom dictum that it was well to drink milk with your booze is' found to be scientifically-' correct. Mlk, whether taken with liquor or two hours before it, lessened its ef fect The same was true of all forms of i fat. Cheese ' made from skim milk, and low iri fat had little effect. Cream cheese should be more ef ective. ' . Drink taken with meals is less in toxicating, than., that taken on an empty stomach. The. low per cent beverages were less intoxicating than the high, per Whenever you Need Gasoline There is usually a Red Crown service station close at hand ready to serve you.
