MORE THAN A HIT

He was a very shy young man. For
two long years he had been paying
her attention and had not yet even
squeezed her hand.
One evening, as they fingered in
the shadow of the trees by her gate,
he asked timidly:

Florence thought he wanted

head cOyly on his shoulders, lifted
her face temptingly to his and re-
piled:
"Well, George, / should think it de-
cidedly out of place."

Shackleton Safe.

Whether or not he succeeded in reach
ing the south pole, the return of Sir
Ernest Shackleton safely to the Falk-
land Islands is most gratifying. This
intrepid explorer, whose achievements
in the southern region of ice have
marked him as an exceptional man, was
thought to have been surely lost when
his ship was found adrift and was
brought northward to harbor. Just how
he made his way to the islands remains
to be disclosed. When Shackleton was
in Washington, after his first return
from the south polar field, he made a
deep impression for modesty and abil-
ity upon all who met him, and this city
holds many who feel keen personal
interest in him. Even though he may
have failed to reach the goal touched
by the lamented Scott, it is assured that
he has brought results from his e1pedi-
ton, for he is one of the most skilled
explorers the world holds today.

Mr.. Marshall at St. Louis.

The secretary of the democratic ne
tional committee has arrived in st Louis,
and this is attributed to him:
"A vice presidential fight is certain
in the convention. President Wilson
will sweep the field
Is it not in the power of the Presi-
dent to sweep the field" for Mr..
Marshall' Could he not by mere hin.
dissipate the opposition to his yoke
mattel His say will be powerful in
the matter of the platform. In fact. in
very large measure, he will be the
platform. No detail of importance will
be adopted without his knowledge and
wise The St. Louis convention will be
of. by and for the President.
Why should not Mr.. Wilson, Il neces-
sary, sweep the field" for Mr. Marshall!
He has had as much approval from his
associate as any President ever received
from a yokemate. The word assist
ance" is barred, for the reason that Mr..
Wilson is not the sort of man to invite
assistance from any source, or even ac-
eept it when offered. He "goes it alone"
as a rule, and seems to like that way
of playing the game.
But the st. Louis situation as respects
Mr.. Marshall may be affected by what
has been done at Chicago. Suppose the
republicans have nominated Mr. Fair
banks for first place. Or suppose they
have nominated him for second place
On ticket with Justice Hughes. Either
performance would increase interest in
Indiana, and force the democrats to con-
fess the importance of the state. And
the proper confession would, of course,
be the denomination of Mr.. Marshall,
personally the most popular OF Indiana
democrats.
Roger Sullivan has been mentioned
for MI Marshail's place, but no encour
aging response from outside Illinois has
been heard. The suggestion lacks
felicity. Mr.. Sullivan is an ardent viii
son man, but the ticket Of Wilson and
Sullivan would want proportion, SO to
say.
Gov. Major of Missouri would like the
nomination, and has a boomle-te. But
the proposition upon which the boom
lette rests proves too much. Granted
that the nomination of Gov Major
would make the ticket safe in Missouri,
what must be the democratic situation
elsewhere if Missouri needs saving" IN
that way! And what strength outside
his own state would Gov. Major bring
to the tickets Well and :avorably
known at home, he is but little known
elsewhere.
Should Mr. Marshall be turned down
the democrats would face question
difficult to answer. All through the
campaign they would be asked to ex-
plain why Mr.. Wilson had been taken
and Mr.. Marshall rejected. And any
answer rejecting upon either Mr..
Marshail's democracy or his record in
the vice presidency would injure the
party rather than the man.

One Hundred Days at Verdun.

After one hundred days of furious
batting the fight at Nerdun is continu-

Final Adjournment.

An interesting question is, How long
after the national conventions have
completed their work will Congress re-
main in session. Some of the most
important measures are being held back
until the national tickets have been
named and the platforms adopted.
The answer to the question should be.
As long as may be necessary to give
those measures full discussion and put
them in the best shape possible. If
two months. let it SO be. There will be
an attempt to rush things, but it should
not succeed.

Roosevelt as Street Attraction.

These were the parting words of
George W. Perkins yesterday upon leav-
ing home for Chicago:
II am going to do all ] can for the
colonel and expect him to be nominated
and elected President. The demenstra
lions for the colonel at Kansas City, st.
Louis and everywhere else he has been

want him
The demonstrations at Kansas City
and st. Louis prove nothing except that
Mr.. Roosevelt as street attraction is
bowling success. But there is nothing
new in that. 1t was already known. 1t
has been shown repeatedly in the past
sixteen years He can raise and ride
street excitement to beat the band. His
equal in that matter does not live in
this country Mr.. BRYAN possesses such
power. but not in as great degree. 1t
takes Mr.. Roosevelt, riding through
human lane of men, women and children,
to give the supreme touch to hullabaloe.
He can make them all. for the moment,
want Teddy
But such demonstrations, such express
sions, are no fit guide for the nomina-
ton of a candidate for President. Flee
tions are not carried by such means. A
candidate for President is under e1-
The Chicago nominee will be under the
strongest glass for four months odd
Mere shouting and tumult cannot be
made to cover such a period. Refiec-
ton comes: and a candidacy which can
hot stand the acid test. of course, fails.
How would the republicans explain
Mr.. Roosevelt as their leader? By his
own confession, repeatedly made, he is
not one of them He has denounced
and tried to destroy the party. That
the party survives and is in its present
n ilitant form no thanks are due to
him. Rather is the fact the sharpest
possible rebuke to him.
How would he explain his clear and
positive promise not to seek another
term as President. He encountered
that four years ago. and found it more
than annoying He would encounter it
again this year, and find it more en-
harrassing than then. He would like to
forget it, but he cannot make the peo-
pie forget il.
As the candidate of big business
the Steel trust heading the procession
with Mr.. Perkins chief marshal, what
appeal would Mr. Roosevelt make to the
rank and flei What explanation would
he offered of the change of attitude on
the part of big business! It was once
his bitterest foe. 1t is now his most
vigorous sponsor. What has brought
about such a radical shift of position?
What is the understandings
Preparedness is great issue, and Mr.
Roosevelt is on the right side of it. But
i: is not the only issue. and it would
not hide other issues on which he is not
on the right side. as the repu blicans
would find out under his leadership.

The President as a Mareher.

Washington's preparedness parade
viii be distinctive above all others that
may be held in this country. At its head
will march the President of the United
States. as a citizen of the republic. This
announcement of Mr.. Wilson's desire to
participate individually in the parade
assures the success of the plan beyond
all question No citizen can withhold
his participation in the demonstration
in the light Of this example. The Presi
dent. as an advocate of preparedness
will attest TO his belief in the need of
al adequate national defense by his
physical presence in the line, and with
him should march every other Wash
inytonian What matters it if the en-
fire city parades, with none left for
spectators Such manifestation Of
unanimity would be the most striking
evidence Of the popular feeling for pro-
sision for the country's safety.

was urged that adjournment should be
taken before convention time. Mem
bers, it was pointed out, would want to
take part in the tieket-making and plat
form building. But it soon became ap-
parent that the congressional card ear
ried too much to admit Of such thing.
So here we are. on the eve of the first
Of the two conventions, with some of the
most important features of the card not
yet reached.
After the conventions, some impa
thence will be manifested by senators
and representatives looking to their
campaigns for reelection. They will
want to get home as soon as possible. SO
much is at stake, they will feel a strong
desire to take personal charge.
This is very natural feeling; and
present conditions are very unusual
The eve of the chief is better than that
Of his lieutenant. And, of course, the
chief, while working for himself, will
be working also for his party's national
ticket.
Nevertheless, there should be no
hurry in finishing up here. Neither the
local nor the national campaigns will
be in full swing before September. Cam
paigning these days is expensive. 1t
takes DOT of money to set such huge
machinery in motion, and keep it in
motion once started. September and
October, therefore, will witness the big
Mheels in their fullest and swiftest revo-
lutions.
We may expect the post convention
debates in Congress to be enlivened by
convention echoes. The records Of the
presidential candidates will be exam
ined. The promises contained in the
platforms will be compared. Many
things will be pointed to with pride, and
quite as many viewed with alarm. But
allowing for all that, much of interest
bearing directly on measures under dis
cussion will be in order, and should be
said in a way to command attention.
Hurry might make worry.

been enjoying comparative respite
from active duty for some months. It
is also reported that Austrian forces are
reaching Verdun or have already ar
rived. Evidently the German general
staff is bent upon piercing the French
line at all costs.
The reason for this persistence, which
has cost the German armies, it is esti-
mated, more than 100000 casualties
enc French computation lately made it
$50 000-is plain. Germany has reached
a stage in the war at which some sort
of conquest is necessary. A victory at
Verdun. of however small military value
in itself, would undoubtedly fire the
hearts Of the German people and would
moreover give Berlin an advantage in
any peace negotiations that might soon
be begun.
From a military point of view the cap
ture of Verdun remains of as little value
now as in the early days of this drive,
nearly four months ago. If the French
lines were merely bent back behind
Verdun, remaining intact, there would
be arrangement of the front with
out the opening of a gap through which
the Germans might begin a new drive
on Paris. But Paris would be of no
more importance as an objective now
than in the first days of the war, when
the German columns were deliberately
turned aside from that goal in order to
overtake, and, if possible, outfank and
capture the French army. The capture
of Calais would be of real advantage
to the German cause. The capture of
Verdun, now merely she'll of a city,
with the French communication lines
behind it recognized already in antiei-
patton of its possible capture, would be
of no more than moral value. The cost
of the effort has already been appalling.
