Cummings, in his entertain ing krynote speech at the San Francisco con Vention, said many misleading and extravagant things, after the manner of able democratic partisans from time immemorial. It was to be expected that he should do so, otherwise his ad- dress would necessarily have failed of its pur pose to arouse enthusiasm. The unadorned truth would have had a most unhappy effect on the delegates, who had traveled a long way for comfort and for relief from political facts. Having been engaged as counsel for the de fense of the democratic parly and the president who controls it, Mr. Cummings made his plea, as is the custom of lawyers with a bad case, one of appeal to the emotions and avoidance of the x truth so far as possible, and did well at it. "Political malice" followed the president to Paris, he said, and cited the senatorial "round robin" as an instance of partisan purpose- to de stroy the influence of Wilson at the peace" conference But the truth is that the "round robin" was signed to warn both Europe and the president that his position would be repudiated by the senate, as has since happened. It came into being because the president violated his word, pledged to keep congress informed of "all he was doing" in Paris. Instead, his cen sorship of wires and mails kept the senate in absolute official ignorance of his bargaining abroad. But of course Attorney Cummings could turn that fact loose to his audience. The president's lamentable illness and dis ability re ittributed by the lawyer for the de- . fense to the partisan animosity of his political - opponents. On the contrary, it was the direct result of the president's distrust of the men of his own party even of his own cabinet. He could not or would not trust them to follow his directions, so went to Paris himself when be should have remained at home, and was both worked and overworked there by better minds than his own. When he returned home there were " no democrats big enough or willing enough t de fend his course to the people, so the swing around the circle was undertaken, the stroke fell, and "for months the president lay in the White House struggling with a terrifying illness and, at times, close to the point of death." Thus we have the first open official avowal of a fact hitherto concealed while the interested liars who surrounded the president denied his disability in order to keep Tom Marshall out of author ity. But all this, says Cummings. was the re sult of wicked efforts to destroy the president's work abroad "this is crucifixion." And, this , another effort to exalt the mistakes, the ambi tions, the clutching for fame, the desire to wield world power, of Woodrow Wilson to the same plane is the everlasting teachings and infinite sufferings of the gentle, sweet and immaculate Jesus! Did ever unholy laudationof an erring man for political purposes go quite so far? Can it be that Lawyer Cummings thought anybody could be bamboozled into believing Woodrow Wilion political Chist? Republicans and "First Voters." ' The plans laid for organizing republican clubs throughout the country have in view the important work of interesting the "first voters" in party politics. Democrats sneer at the sug gestion of Senator Harding that'party govern ment is to be substituted for personal govern mem as a better and more satisfactory way of maintaining constitutional principles. For seven years the United States has been under personal government; where the constitution interfered with the august will of the president, it was set aside. Mr. Wilson has gore so far as to demand that, the senate of the United States abandon a duty laid on it by the fundamental law, "and surrender to him tfie groat powers which the framers of the government wisely thought should be shared between the executive and legislative branches of the government. No president has ever more completely justified the wisdom of "checks and, balances" in our form of government. Therefore, a return to constitutional govern ment requires the dominance of a party rather than of a single individual. The republican party makes an especial appeal to the youth of the land. It has from its birth stood for and fought to achieve and preserve those things to which the young men instinctively turn. Human freedom is its goal, the broadest of personal liberty, the fullest opportunity for each under laws that rest exactly on .ill, the conservation of public interests anl the safeguarding of the pub lic' welfare, engage always the attention of its leaders and its spokesmen. It is a party of progress', the sixty years since it first came into power failing to show a single backward step. Young men and women who are just com ing into their majority should not only study the . platforms of the two great parties, but should look up their records. Such an examina tion will disclose the reasons for voting for the republican nominees in November. "Uncover I" With the Fourth of July one day in the fu ture it is not improper to urge the observance of certain marks of respect for the -fijag and the National Anthem. To uncover and stand ,:. t : - - " 1 - ' at attention is no hardship when the national banner passes, nor is it '.oo much to give the same courteous attention to the national anthem when it is sung or played. During the war many a man was rudely and sometimes savagely ordered to take off hi hat when the Flag passed in parade, and the public was educated to give visible evidence of respect to that symbol of all America holds dear, as well as to our national anthem. It is a beautiful evidence of appreciation of gallant services rendered by the nations with which we were associated in the war to uncover when' the strains of France's "Marseillaise," or the Italian hymn, or the Portuguese hymn, salute the air. The Democratic Dodgers. ( In all the weary waste of words of the democratic platform, presented to the conven tion at San Francio not a tingle issue' is sharply outlined or clearly marked. Evasive ness characterizes -the document in (all its as pects, even the praise of the president lacking the sincerity of true patriotic devotion. On the three outstanding issues on which the party was expected to take adefinite stand, the League of Nations, prohibition and labor, only a more or less diplomatic straddle is noted on the first and third while the second is omitted entirely. Just how the leaders hope to satisfy either wet or dry element by no utterance on the issue is beyond understanding. The Coxes and the Edwardses as well as the Bryans in the party demanded some expression on the point, and must come away with ;n impression that the framers, of the platform did not have the moral courage to face the issue thrust upon the con vention by influential factions in the party. That the republican party does not recognize -prohibition as an open issue hardly justifies the democrats in failing to say one thing r an other after all the fuss that has been made by the clamorous wets and the equally vociferous drys. The League of Nations plank already has been commented upon. Giving apparently abso lute endorsement to the president's work in the esonant language of a skilled platform builder, the Walsh amendment takes out of tfte main declaration any vitality it might have held as regards Mr. Wilson's parsonal attitude, and in effect endorses the position of the senators who favored reservations. The labor plank is very similar to that adopted by the republicans. Mr. Gompers seems to have had no better luck at San Fran cisco than he met at Chicago. Told in more words, the democrats promise labor just what is contained in the republican platform, and no more. - The pledge to federal employes that they will receive higher pay if the democrats be restored to power must be read alongside the record of the party. Seven years of democratic control brought no response to the appeals of under paid government workers. Pay-rolls were enormously extended in time of peace as well as in time of war, but the wages of the individual got Scant attention, until the situation has come to be a, national disgrace. Especially is this true of the postalservice, which has been under the continuous domination of Albert Sidney Burle son, during all of Mr. Wilson's regime. A sop is thrown to the Irish in the equivocating plank that expresses sympathy and promises aid' as far as "the comity between na tions" will permit. This means nothing, for the comity between nations will not admit of the United States "government aiding the Irish. Whenever such material or moral aid as asked is extended, comity ends and war begins. Abuse is plenteously heaped on the repub lican party, particularly because it has not .restored the country to the pVosperous condition in which the democrats found it in 1912. In reading the financial plank it will be well to keep in mind that when Mr. Wilson entered office In 1913 the Treasury held a clear and free surplus of $350,000,000, and that at the end of the fiscal year closed on Jxine 30, 1915, this had been converted into a deficit" of $350,000,000. This deficit grew at the rate of a million dollars a day until our country entered the war. Such an exhibition of miserable mismanagement of the country's finances can not be paralleled in all our history. Numerous other assertions, claims and promises of the party will be considered later on. Terusal of the inordinate platform in all its length is recommended to everybody. No bet ter evidence of the effrontery of a band of po litical freebooters could be afforded! A Line 0 Type or Two Ht te the Lies. M ths sulM fall trfitr ttiey any. OX ARRIVING IX LONDON. At last I move within the world's great core, Uorne on by tides of men from every land Shanghai, Calcutta, Cairo, Samarcnnd, Quebec and Sidney here their savor pour, Mixing and mingling In a mighty roar As of the sea upon a rocfty strand; FiaV this is London: not Prospero's wand Sueh wonder wrought, nor Merlin dreamed of yore. Though I am but a drop in this wide flood Tumultuous, rlohened, I onward fare, , New charged with energy to wander far. Keeling new ichors in my freshened blood, Seeing new visions mirrored high in air, Seeing within my soul a new-born star. " C. G. B. No "Fourth" in the White House. It is not in Mexico alone that the Wilson ad ministration has abandoned the rights of Amer icans and left them to a cruel fate under a policy by which citizens leave this country at their peril, with no hope of succor for either property or liberty so far as an indifferent Washington government is concerned. A recent instance of callous disregard for Americans abroad followed the capture of two American missionaries in Turkey Mr. and Mrs. Nilson of Wheaton, 111. The outrage was duly reported "by the commander of a vessel of the United States navy. Apparently that ended it, for no sign of action by our government has followed, not even a "note" such as the sinking of the Lusitania brought forth. The torpid resident of the White House continues so en amored with dreams of world and party domina tion that he has neither time nor inclination to concern himself with the liberty of his own coun trymen. It remained for France "Glorious France" to get after the unspeakable Turks. At Tarsus her officials have seized twenty Turks in retalia tion for' the enslavemfnt of American citizens which apparently excited no interest in the labyrinth of indecision, inefficiency and disability which exists throughout the Wilson administration. "Love will find a way" to nominate Mr. McAdoo, says a woman delegate. This is the first notice that Cupid i's actve in the convention. - The jam for the jam ought to remind the women folks of what the administration did for sugar. ' San Francisco can not complain that the democratic bosses are not delivering the goods. Up to the last minute Mr. Wilsort has not said he would not accept a third nomination. Douglas county people were promised brick, and want brick for county road paving. This is as good a time as any for the land lord and the tenant to have it out. OUR valued contemporary, F. P. A., consid ers t,he best Loz Onglaze story to be the' re mark of a Loz inhabitant: "Well, this is a beautiful day, if I say so myself." But we like as well the remark of the Loz man at a fu neral: "If no one wishes to speak of the' de parted I shotild like to say a few words about Loz Onglaze." BY the way, if you wish to get a rise out of a Californiac, ask him innocently, when he speaks of "the coast," which coast he means. "I DON'T MIND THE HEAT, MY DEAR; IT'S THE HUMIDITY." (From the Sanfran Chronicle.) We exclaim when in San Francisco the thermometer climbs to 92 degrees, as it did Saturday, but only because that is an un usual temperature. We do not suffer in the least. In this dry atmosphere 92 degrees is nothing compared to the same temperature in the humid air of New York. Here that temperature is merely pleasantly warm, on the Atlantic seaboard it is dangerous. WE should like to see the League of Nations made the chief issue of the campaign. And we are not certain that the Democrats could not ride to victory on it. There must be many thoughtless persons like ovrself who believe that no covenant can bind a people to do some thing it is averse to doing. Another Immortelle Swims Into Our Ken.

And wind the handles with pale blue baby rib bon, and hang them just above the what-not. In the corner where stood the'six cattails tied with orange satin? The first time I saw a pancake turner thus adorned, I gurgled with glee, "Oh. mamma, see the baby-spanker!" D. A. B.

U is an ethyl ester of chalmoogra oil. . Ohalmoogia oil lias' long enjoyed a limited reputation a." a cure for It prosy, but it was so unpleasant to take that it was not makinjr much headway as a cure. Surgeon General Cunvmings'says that sufferer come willingly for treatment to the kp rosy investigation station In Hawaii and not' a single secreted case was fcund on the island. In October, 1919. 48 lepers treated by this method were found to be free from active evidence of the dis ease, were paroled, and up to the present time they have remained fre from the disease. Even before this remedy was dis covered leprosy was regarded as a moderately curable disease. In 'an address on leprosy by Dr. F. L. Hoffman of the Prudential Life In surance company the statement is made that 4.2 per cent of the males and 13.2 per cent of the females ad mitted to the Louisiana leprosy col ony have boon discharged as cured. In all probability most of these were treated with some preparation of chalmoogra oil. The theme of Dr. Hoffman's ad dress was the need of a leprosy iVon ference and also the establishment of the national leprosy colony fur which congress appropriated three yours ago. It we have a leprosy cure- on the one hand and a consid erable number of lepers .on the other, we have all the elements call ing for action.

Dr Martin Engnian's estimate is son. There is no city of size in America but has one or more lepers walking the streets. This is partly because physicians do not ku.nv leprosy when they see it, partly because the eailier symptoms are not known tc the public and . partly bejsnusa there is no place for a leper. A leprosy conference, some publicity as to sifcnfj of the disease, and one or more lepu sy colonies would remedy these defects. Cun Injure! Intestines. M. E.
