Judging from distance, it would appear that
the Hughes forces, satisfied with the proof Of
their strength furnished by two ballots and su-
premely confident of their mastery of the situ-
alton, were quite content to permit the postpone
ment of their triumph until today The demand
of the Republicans of the country is faithfully
represented in the convention. Today the men
of New York and Pennsylvanis will, no doubt.
recognize the inevitable, If they have not al.
ready recognized it, and the third ballot or the
fourth at latest will witness the stampede for the
band wagon

1t is conceivable that the nomination Of Jus
tice Hughes, now the leading candidate, might be
prevented by an expression Of hyphensted over
fondness, though it may well be doubted whether
1t would weaken him as opponent Of Presi-
dent Wilson, since there is no shadow OF doubt
of his sterling Americsnism. Also, it is quite
safe to assume that, once in the campaign, Jus
tice Hughes would find il quite easy to counter
act the effect of any expressions OF approval
from German sources.

Meantime the Hughes sentiment is growing
and, with no word coming from him, it seems
to be taken for granted that his views upon the
great and important issues coincide with those Of
the majority OF his countrymen, much so that
in some quarters widely separated the nomina-
ton is conceded to him. And it must be admit
ted that recent political developments of
nature to justify in no small measure these

A Line o Cheer Each Day o the Year.
By JOHN KENDRIcK BANGS.
First printing Of an original poem. written daily
for The Washington Herald
The WORLD

Despite its sorrow and its pain | rather like the
world we live in,
And hone some day to come again its scenes to
pass another spell in
lik. its shape like its air; like its pleasures
and its labors.
I like its people everywhere-my friends my
enemies and neghbors.
like the scheme of Age and Youth. like such
words as Sister, Brother,
As Love, and Honor, Wisdom, Truth, and Faith,
and Father, Friend, and Mother.
| like its Rivers, Hills, and Dales; l like the
broad sweep Of the Ocean.
! like its Light that never fails, its lovely sea-
sons eer in motion.
I like the plan of Night and Day-its coloring
deem exquisite,
And after | have passed away I'd like to make
another visit.

An English manufacturer of explosives who
has just arrived in this country, says: England
is making all her own ammunition now, and has
enough in sight to carry her to the end of the
war. She will award no more contracts in the
United States Among other reasons, the prices
here are extremely high and delivery uncertain.
The military authorities are preparing for an
other winter campaign" But possibly this only
is way OF. avoiding the huniliating confession
that the new Admiral of the Atlantic" won't
let England take any more of our munitions

Throughout the pre-eonventon campaign The
Washington Herald has held to the view that
there can be danger that Col. Roosevelt will
place any obstacle in the way Of the election Of
the candidate nominated by the Republican
ism or party obligations, such the
part of Col. Roosevelt in view of his repeated
denunciation of the policies Of the administration,
would bring his brilliant public career to an ig-

The Hughes boom is the most remarkable po-

months. Apparently it originated spontaneously
with the people generally, and being confined to
no one section it represents today the most

There is no question to his Ameresnsr;

Of the Hughes boom proves that not all of the
rank and file OF the Republican party look with
favor upon Col Roosevelt their leader.

Monopoly ALWAYS Feared.

Probably the word grocer origin
ally meant 'Tne who sells by the
great, or utters his commodities by
wholesale" and they trace it to the
French word "grossier." An act en-
titled 31th Edward III c. was di
rected against grocers engrossing
marchandizes" shat is to say, against
the absorbing or monopolizing OF
trade. Here there appears to be an
early instance of hostility to the run
ming of great stores. Blackstone, the
legal authority, distinctly states that
engrossing was the getting into ones
possession, or buying up large quan
titles of corn or other dead yictuala
with intent to sell them again.
