bility can these give to him enough to
constitute one third of the national
convention. He will. therefore, not
only not be in the running as far as a
nomination is concerned, but his forces
viii not be able to veto the nomination
of any other candidate that the con-
vention may decide upon under the
two-thirds rule.
There is one good feature about the
large number of delegates. almost equal
to the number instructed for Judge
Parker, classed under the supporters
of favorite sons and under the Delphic
word doubtful With the exception of
the 16 votes of Nebraska and possibly
those of Maine, they are anti-Hearst
forever and a day. We do not know
what the delegates from Pennsylvania,
or Ohio, or Wisconsin, or Massachu-
sets, or Maryland, or Michigan, or
West Virginia will do when breakup
comes. We know what they will not do.
They Will not vote for Hearst All of
them were chosen by conventions bit
terly antagonistic to him after a hot
fight, and there is no hope for him in
any of these states. In considering
convention possibilities, therefore, as
far as they can be anticipated from the
election of delegates thus far ahead,
We may set down few things as GER
tain.
l. The Hearst following will go to
st. Louis as less than one-third of the
entire convention and win probably
never exceed 200 votes.
2. 1t can exercise no influence upon
the shaping of the platform whatever,
since that depends on a majority vote.
8. 1t cannot prevent the nomination
of any candidate under the two-thirds
rule, and it can exert an influence in the
selection of a candidate only in the
choice between two or more men taken
from the opposition ranks. Between two
anti-Hearst candidates with nearly
equal forces, the Hearst strength might
insure the success of one by going to
him solidly.
4. Judge Parker will have third of
the convention positively instructed for
him and will receive on the first ballot
a very large number OF additional votes.
from the states classed as doubtful.
On the second or some other early bal
lot he will receive important additions
from the states that are instructed to
cast complimentary votes for favorite
Sons.
5. If he is not nominated on an early
ballot, there will be prolonged baAoting,
with the appearance of a dark horse
and his nomination by the friends OF
Parker and the united support of the
conservative element. The probability
is that Parker will be nominated. The
certainty issthat all hope of a decisive
Hearst interest in the convention is de-
feated. The remainder is uncertainty

THE SIMPLE LIFE

President Woodrow Wilson, of
Princeton, to our way Of thinking one
of the greatest educators of the coun-
try, confounds wisdom with words if
his baccalaureate address is reported
correctly. He is right of course, in
saying that ethical and spiritual infiu-
ences are keenly alive in our time. and
that 1T is by no means given over to
gross materialism.. He is right also in
saying that ''the simple life" may be-
come selfish and beIittling. But these
things are mere platitudes the sorry
stuff that one hears from too many
pulpits, where expediency bids one go
softly and make the most and the best
of that ''other side which can be found
to every question under the sun
President Wilson should know and
does know that the simple life, like
every other good thing, can be abused.
One can make it the excuse or the
palliation for Incidence, for =selfishness,
for absence of half the manly virtues
that adorn and ennoble life; just as one
can use wealth to crafty and to stinnu-
late the baser passions until it be-
comes the master reproach and mon
ster of the world. But neither extreme,
gross and irrational, should be consld-
cred when we are weighing the condi-
tions and marking the tendencies of the
times.
They who covet earnestly the best
things are fully convinced that closer
return to the simple life would make
for human happiness and the better
ment of the world Life is needlessly
complicated. 1t is wrapped about with
superfiuities that have become neces-
saries and clasp it with iron bands.
Due perspective is lost while we strug-
gle for these worthless things. Just as
the modern child sits bewildered and
discontinued and irritable and unhappy
in the midst of a wilderness of toys.

lost their charm, so men and women.

it would give rest and breathing space
to those exhausted with chasing after
many inventions and many gods, it

ton. Should the pendulum swing in

and ease of simplicity withdraw Us too
much from those larger labors that we

Today we err on the side of com

dangers and consider only the beauties
of simple living and simple thinking

cation of combined wealth and power
has slaked its fevered thirst in one
long, calming draught from the foun-
tain in the garden where God walks

Boiling Would kiII Rryan

If those who will control the con-
vention really think it worth while to
keep hffIi (Bryan) from boiling it is
not likely to prove necessary, accord
ing to present indications, to offer him
the nomination or even the privilege of
writing the platform. His price is
necessarily less than it was in 1896 or
even in 1900. A seat in the senate may
well suffice. But in any event, though
Bryan may well make every possible
use of the threat to bolt it seems
very improbable that he will carry it
out. To do so would be to sign his
own political death warrant.-Provi-
