A Chance for All to Help.

Bv this time everybody in Washington
probably knows all about the summer
outings charity that is conducted here an
nually for the benefit of the women and
children who by this means are given a
chance to recuperate in the fresh air and
under the influence of good food. This
charity is in need of further funds to In
sure its success during the present season.
as The Star set forth the other day, and
1t is incumbent upon the citizens of the
capital to come forward with their sub
scriptions promptly, that those in
charge of the work may know just what
they can depend upon for the summer s
activities.
Today and tomorrow booths will be
opened at various places about the city,
where these subscriptions can be given
with greatest convenience. There will be
no direct soliciting of funds. There is no
tagging device and no symbols will be
sold to those who wish to contribute to
the fund. Opportunities win simply be
afforded to those who wish to give at
minimum of trouble. and it will be dis
appointment if during the two days
enough money is not raised TO insure the
complete success of the summer outings
work throughout the present season.
If there are any who doubt the need or
value of this charity and do not quite
agree with the necessity of sending the
women and children Of the poor to the
country for a fortnight. let them go to
Camp Good Will or to Camp Pleasant or
TO the baby camp and see for themselves.
They will be welcome there They can
easily find the way by communicating
with the officials of this enterprise at the
headquarters of the Associated Charities.
and they will be given facilities for seeing
all the camps If they wish. OF course,
these camps are not SHOW places" There
Is no disposition or wish to exhibit
their occupants TO the public curiosity,
but there is strong desire to make all
Washington understand what the work
means. how important it is, not merely to
the health of the few hundreds who are
directly helped. but to the community
at large, by adding to the general phys
ical tone Of the capital 49,;
This is q hfe-saving work, the results of
which can be visibly seen and accurately
measured in terms of saved humanity.
Every dollar helps and goes long way.
for these camps are administered with
care and economy, and whoever gives to-
morrow or Thursday-better tomorrow
than Thursday-may be sure that each
penny will be applied to give strength and
happiness and perhaps life to a woman
or a child.

from the. United States. Scoring 81 out Of
17S points. the American athletes missed
an actual ma jority by q bare four points,
which would have been gained but for an
unjust disqualification In one Of the races
This is perhaps the most conclusive proof
that the American representatives at
Stockholm were, man for man and all
together, the superiors OF their cornpeti-
tors. True, they missed the first place In
the marathon, the most conspicuous event
Of the entire meet, and the winning OF
which is desired by every runner But
they made gallant showing even in that
race sending a man across the line in
third place, close on the heels of the
leaders. and having ten of the twenty
seven who finished and proved their stam-
ina by staying in the race even when
they knew they were beaten for posi-
tion. More than consolation for losing
the marathon is the fact that 1t was an
American, and an American Indian at
that, true son Of the western soil, who
took the prizes that marked him as the
finest all-around athlete in the world.
James Thorp, as winner of the great
decathlon contest, stood in the stadium
at Stockholm in the presence of the King
OF Sweden and an immense multitude. as
the real champion of the Olympic games.
Thus the American contestants will re-
turn home with the largest grand score
for the meet, with numerous first, second
and third prizes, with the honor of hav-
Ing broken several worlds records. and
with the trophies that mark the highest
honor that can be given in international
athletics. the winning of the remarkable
series of competitions constituting the
''ten-game' test of individual merit. They
should be welcomed as BELTS their per-
formances, as conquerors, who have sent
the flag once more to the top of the mast
for all the world to see.

tive ard referendum and the recall They
steered around those dangerous topics.
and into the deep sea Of geneEalities and
agreed things.
The result was a platform upon which
any candidate before the convention
might, and would, have stood. Neither
Judge Harmon nor Mr.. Underwood. black
listed by Mr.. Bryan az reactionarfes'
would have hesitated a moment. Etner
would have accepted the nomination on
the terms thus laid down..
Nevertheless though drawn so Skill
f,Ily the platform should be most care
fully examined by Mr.. Wilson: and the
time he has for the purpose-three weeks
is not too much. Every little movement
has meaning all Its own.
Evening star., 1912-07-16

Mum Is the word in higher democratic
circles until after Mr.. Wilson has inter-
preted the Baltimore platform. Good
sense. Good politics.
Mr.. Wilson and Mr.. Clark were in con-
ference at Seagirt for two hours Satur-
day, but at the end Mr.. Clark, though
piled with questions by trained news
paper interviewers, could not be induced
te discuss the issues OF the day. He in
vited questions on ell other subjects, but
barred politics. He asked time for
study of the party deiiyerance upon
which Mr.. Wilson is standing. ''Tomor-
row." as the Spanish say.
OF course, Mr.. Wilson Is reserving his
fire. AS the candidate he is to open the
battle. and will do so in reply to the
formal notification OF his nomination. On
that occasion--some three weeks hence
he will declare what he thinks the party
at Baltimore intended to declare, and
what at any rate he will be guided by In
case OF election.
Judge Parker queered himself eight
years ago by telegram. interpreting
before the ink was dry on the platform
that had been prepared FOR him the most
important plank It contained. His WAL
street friends thought the telegram
magnificent. but it proved not to be war.
BY 1t he made special play for eastern
support. and lost heavily in the middle
states and throughout the west. He
missed the mark even In the east For
his gold telegram secured no votes in
either New York, New Jersey or Con-
necticat- As the event showed. he was
too quick on trigger. II would have been
better had he taken little time for re-
f1ection.
The Baltimore paatform was drawn by
Mr.. Bryan and Senator O'Gorman work
ing together. Nebraska and New York,
after sixteen years of bitter controversy.
during which New York had rejected all
OF Nebraska's 8 suggestions, at last met at
the committee table IN q spirit OF har-
n,ohy and accommodation; and that spirit

The Generals-in-Chief.

Mr.. Tafrs campaign will be conducted
by man familiar with the situation and
on terms of Intimacy with the candidate.
In all the important work leading up to
the Chicago convention Mr.. HiIies was
ir the confidence of his chief, and par
ticipated in the consultations held. He
starts in. therefore, we'll equipped for his
work. He knows the men with whom he
will be thrown. and can assign them to
duty with an understanding Of their ca
paeities He has the respect Of the coun-
try regardless Of party.
Mr.. McCombs' relations to Mr.. Wilson
are quite as confidential. He planned
most of the work done in MFR. Wilson s
behalf prior to the Baltimore convention;
and while 1T was Mr.. Bryan's strategy
and forcefulness which secured the nomi-
nation, Mr.. Bryan's 1abors would have
been in vain if Mr.. McCombs had failed
to present his man at the convention in
vigorous form. McCombs is not as widely
known as Mr.. Hilles. but his acquaintance
enlarge and enable him to proceed intel
ligently without delay.
Mr.. Roosevelt has yet to make his Sc
lection. Mr.. Dixon is indicated by the
fact that he stood to Mr.. Roosevelt prior
to Chicago in the same relation that Mr..
Hilles stood to Mr.. Taft. He was the
right hand man of his chief. and helped
shape things. His Claims and procla-
nations were all that desperate cause
demanded, and couched now in enthusi-
asm and now in insult to the opposition.
He fell in readily with the Roosevelt
manner, and did his part to his chief s
liking.
Mr. Dixon received much assistance
from Mr.. Finn and Mr. Perkins, and
they are likely to continue near him.
Bossism and trustism are two Of the
Roosevelt cries; and Mr.. Finn can act
as the precentor in the one case and Mr..
Perkins in the other. Each knows how
to give OUT the tune 80 as to insure q
large volume Of sound on the part OF the
congregation.
Mr.. Wilson has been more fortunate
in this matter than either Judge Parker
in 1904 or Mr.. Bryan in 1905 Mr.. Tag
was forced on him by the politicians,
while Mr.. Mack would not have been
Mr.. Bryan's choice il the vice presiden-
tial nomination had not gone to Indiana.
1t thus became necessary to recognize
New York in some way, and the place
Of campaign manager was accorded her.
New times. new men. These are all
new men. Four years ago neither Mr.
Hilles nor Mr.. McCombs was known to
the country at large. Mr.. Dixon was an
inconspicuous western senator; Mr.. Finn
as a boss was still In the parochial class
and Mr.. Perkins had just begun in a
modest way to rescue the business world
from the slough OF trickery and selfish
ness. He had just left the fetid atmos-
phere Of Morgan and Company, and taken
up residence in Altruria.

The Olympic games at Stockholm closed
with Americans triumphant in SO many
events that they lead the world. II has
been a decisive and glorious victory for
our runners and jumpers and vaalters
and performers in all other lines of sport.
There have been defeats for some of our

Credit for Taft in Mexican Trouble

From the New York Herald.
Owing to the attention demanded by
the larger and more important affairs at
home, the Mexican revolt has not been
observed closely by the American public.
But now, with home matters settled, for
the time at least. and when eyes may
again be turned toward Mexico, 1t is to
see the rebels. held together for months
by the very capable captain. Orozco. in
full fight badly beaten at Bachimba
Pass, in what one newspaper dispatch
describes as the greatest modern battle
fought in Mexico" Thus 1t appears that
Mexico has settled her own affairs with
cut Interference on the part Of the
United States, and the wisdom Of Presi-
dent Taft in refusing to plunge this coun-
try into the strife at the behest of agi-
tators, jingoes and unscrupulous CONNER
cial exploiters is vindicated.
