Democratic convention, but the rule.
adopted before the war, stiu holds
good.
Those who favor the continuance OF
the rule argue that two Thirds of the
delegates to a convention are likely to
nominate a better man than bare
majority. They say it is often possible
for am objectionable candidate 10 secure
a majority when he could not secure
q two-thirds majority. On the point
that a minority should not be permit
ted to defeat a nomination II is argued
that a minority would hardly be able
to defeat the nomination Of a first class
man, while it could not possibly bring
about the nomination Of bad man.
When al is said It IL a fact that VIII
be generally conceded that the man
who can secure majority Of the dele
gate votes in q national convention is
very apt to secure at least txo-th!rds.
The history of national conventions
teaches Us that the delegates keep very
close track Of the voting. When it is
seen that a candidate has received a
majority, and often long before he has
received majority, the band wagon
feliows'' begin tumbling into line and
by the time the roll call is finished and
the changes all recorded the candidate
has received a practically unanimous
nomination.

wRoHe IDEA or RIGHT.

GEORGE W. KENDRICK of Phila.
y delphia has curious notion Of
right and wrong. AIr. Kendrick is in
possession OF property that does not
belong to him although he has perhaps
a color Of legal title to it. The prop
erty consists of a family Bible that
once belonged to Martha Washington,
wife OF the first president Of the United
states. 1t contains birth records that
identify it beyond the possibility Of
question.
From the Washingtons it was handed
down 10 the Gusts family, and through
the Custises TO the family Of Robert Z.
Lee. The book contains an entry Of
General Lees birth and as an heirloom
in the Lee family it is priceless The
Bible was stolen from Arlington, Va.
where the Lee residence was, by a
soldier in 1861. He sold it to an army
suffer The sutler sold it to another
soldier and that soldiers son sold il to
Eendrick.
Ever since the Bible was stolen the
children of General Lee have been
looking for it. Not Ions since a daugh-
ter learned that il had been used on
the occasion Of the celebration Of the
one hundred and fiftieth anniversary
of Washington's admission 10 the Ma
sonic order. 1t did not take long for
the daughter to learn that the Bible
had been loaned for this event by Ken
drick. and she promptly made a de-
mand on him for it's return. Greatly
TO her surprise and indignation Mr..
Kendriek refused TO give the volume
up.
This or the claim that he has owned
it for more than twenty years. But he
declares his willingness 10 turn the
book over to the Smithsonian institute
or the Mt Vernon association, in itself
a practical admission of his knowledge
that the book is not rightfully bis. And
it isn't, morally speaking, at least.
Kendrfck mas TO right TO dictate the
disposition Of the volume. It is his
duty to surrender it to its rightful own
ers 50 that they may dispose of it as
they see fit.

THE Two-THIRBs RULE.

1JARPER'S WEEKLY. which is not
II ordinarily q reliable authority on
The subject Of Democratic politics, says
an effort is to be made al the coming
Democratic national convention 20
abolish the rule which requires that the
presidential nominee must receive two
thirds Of all the delegate votes cast.
The proposition seems sound enough.
1T IS against Democratic principles 10

thirds rule.
in practically every other political
the rule is that the candi-
date who receives a majority Of the
votes is entitled to the nomination. The
majority may be only a fraction Of q

PORTO Rlco's COMPLAINT.


IUHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO
" about Porto Rico? This with
reference to the RESOLUTION passed re
Gently BY the Porto Rican legislative
assembly demanding that the island
be either admitted TO the Union as q
state or that it be granted its indepen-

that the Porto BieaBs are entitled to
or qualified for statehood. It would be
grave blunder to admit them to full
fellowship with us. But can we let
Them 90 after we have taken them in
as subjects?
These questions must be answered
before long. The Porto Ricans are dis
satisfied with their present anomalous
condition. They are not citizens. and
the imDerial.sts would have uF believe
they are not subjects. What is TO be

to take them in as citizens of the

their territory part of the United
States. Now they ask us TO let them

arise within the next few years. There

Mrs. Katherine Sullivan,
mother Of j. G. Sullivan whose
mysterious disappearance from

April has never been satisfactor-
lily explained has just been
cruelty victimized by a Minnea-
polls detective agency and il her
story is correct the methods en-

Grief stricken since the disap-
pearance of her son, who was
dutiful in life and believing that
has fallen the victim Of foul play
Mrs. Sullivan has never been
quite able to reconcile herself to
the very unsatisfactory account
ing for Sullivan,s disappearance
which=the county authorities
were able to make after the most
searching Investigation. She has
written frequent letters TO
County Attorney Loud, who has
exhausted every effort to bring
some new light on the case with
out result.

was referred to a man named

that would warrant the begin
