Of tobacco merchants has held ma
tional convention" -:
The claims of Washington as the con-
vention capital are being needed
throughout the land. Organizations con-
templating a national conference feel
the call of Washington, and they yield
not reluctantly, but smilingly. There is
appropriateness in the selection of
Washington as a meeting place by rep
resentatives of the tobacco industry. In
the classic days of yore when all men
were pious and patriotic and all ladies
devoted themselves to quilting and pre-
serving, the land on which marble, mon
umental Washington has risen, was to-
bacco land. Perhaps on the very spot
where these delegates will meet an old
proprietor of the site of Washington
raised tobacco, and still within few
miles of the capital, especially in the
Maryland county of Prince Georges, the
handsome plant with it's heavy, broad
deep-veined and gummy leaves grows
strong and rank, and it's pink blossoms
unfold as regularly as the summer sun
comes north.

Arbitration Of Differences.

There is cause for satisfaction that
the differences between the Washing
ton and Old Dominion Railway Com
pany and its employees as to wages and
working conditions are to be settled by
arbitration. II would seem that a fair
and final adjustment of the disagree
ment which caused a strike on that road
three weeks ago will be made. Disputes
between employees and employers in pub
.sc s,-viee corporations always entail
trouble and usually hardship for the in
noeent bystander or the innocent patron.
and in the matter of suburban rail
way on which thousands of commuters
rely for service conflict between men
and company is distinct hardship.

Appearances.

You mustn't judge person by the
clothes he may wear.
You might have done SO years ago, but
now it isn't fair
A man may be responsible and serious
of mind,
Yet wear a little overcoat that's belted
in behind.
he may be all profound Of thought and
yet display with joy
A hat that looks as though intended for
his youngest boy.
That the apparel oft proclaims the man
has been believed,
But now the statement with share Of
doubt must be received.
You mustn't trust appearances. At pres
ent you will see
A general effort to appear like twenty
two or three;
And those who put on glasses and look
solemn, as a rule,
Are principally youngsters who are not
yet out of school.
As has been wisely said, this world is
but feeting show;
We are optical illusions, as upon parade
we 60,
And perhaps it's just as we'll for us to
do the best we can,
And help improve the scenery upon the
modern plan.

about money for the campaign. It is
already assured that there will be plen-
| ty of money for our needs. 1t isn't 60
ing to take a great deal anyway"
Part of this prediction may be ac-
cepted without question. How could
i there be "any trouble about money at
a time when money is so abundant The
banks are full Certain lines Of bust
ness are overwhelmed with orders, with
their profits sky high. Private capital
lists, although venturing little because
of the worlds convulsiOn, are flush as
seldom before. Using popular phrase,
we are rolling in wealth. The political
campaign collector, with good credit
in financial circles and reputation for
knowing what to do in politics, should
find no difficulty in filling the hat he
passes this year And this is true of
one side as of the other.
The fact is that the situation in this
regard has created some anxiety in CIR
cles where the too liberal use of money
in politics at election times has long
been deplored. There is fear that col
lections being easy may be too large
that so-called "slush funds" because Of
their size may prove temptation, and
that scandals may result. STRIKERS"
will gather in numbers. Countless
schemes for creating and "accelerating"
sentiment will be devised and sub
mitted. Many new and expensive meth
DDS of campaigning will be urged upon
managers straining to win.
A national campaign is truly big
thing. 1t calls for large sums for legit-
innate purposes; and sometimes large
sums are spent outside of those pur-
poses.
Mr.. Morgenthau's declaration that ait
is not going to take great deal any
way"-meaning moneys a campaign
flourish intended to express the opinion
that Mr.. Wilson will have an easy vic
tory. Such is not the opinion of many
democrats who have been observing and
appraising matters at close range while
Mr. Morgenthau has been in Turkey.
They see hard fight ahead for their
party; and maybe the transfer of his
abilities from Observation-Disclosures
they were we'll exercised-to New York
where they will be very much needed
until November-is a sort of confession
by Mr.. Morgenthau that, in reality, he
shares that opinion.

The Democratic Organizations,

Mr.. Taggart had to take it. He tried
to put it by, but the democrats of In
diana insisted, and as good party man
he yielded.
The Star suggested this result at the
time Mr.. Taggart announced in this
town that he would not seek the sena-
torship at the hands of the people.
Doubtless he was sincere, but he did not
take into account sufficiently the ext
gencies at home.
Rumor had it at the time of his ap-
pointment that, as a return favor, Mr..
Taggart would urge the nomination of
Gov. Ralston when the state convention
met. But the fact soon appeared that
the governors name in that connection
inspired no enthusiasm. So, as the man
was not acceptable, the master had to
submit to the draft.
The nomination will bring out the
full organization vote. Mr.. Taggart has
perfected the organization, knows how
to employ it, and is entitled to it's ac-
tivities. He is popular with the rank
and file.
But the Independents in the state will
balk. How numerous they are, and how
warmly they will resent the nomination,
will appear later.
This action, coupled with the action
taken in Illinois the other day and GER
tain maneuvers now under way in New
York, may be accepted as showing how
much Importance friends Of the ma.
tional administration are now attach.

will be in position to demand an un.
