ST. LOUIS, Mo-, June S.-The
democratic national committee is an
unhappy organization, Judging by the
two dozen members here preparing,
Tor next weeks convention. The com,
mittee is distressed over the action
OF President Wilson in naming ex-
Governor Glynn of New York temper
airy chairman and Senator Ollie James
OF Kentucky, permanent chairman o.
the convention. 1t is even more dis
tressed at the action it fears he may
take regarding the craftsmanship of
the national committee itself.
The committeeman say they do not
object to the two men named-though
the member from Kentucky, Trey
Woodson. is James political enemy
and some members sympathize with
Woodson. Their objection is to the
TACT that the committee was not con
suited. They had to depend on the
newspapers for the newl. they sar,
ana they ask: How can they do the
inside work of the democratic organi.
cation If they aren't on the inside?
They have some very definite views

be modified in q way which recognizes
the submarine. But the law cannot be
changed while the war is In progress.
The rules, though obviously affected by
the change Of conditions, must stand
until amended by consent Of the great
powers of the world. And under those
rules, which constitute international Law,
q merchantmen armed for defense In
the terms of the former condition must
be rated as defensively armed today,
even though the gun with which she is
armed may be deadly weapon against
the frail undersea boat, though Of not
the slightest avail against a battleshlp.
The United States has in official CORE
spondence admitted the desirabnity Of
a rewriting of the international code on
this point, even addressing itself to Eng
land and France ON the subject. Those
powers refused to accede to any modi-
fication Of the rule which permits mer-
chairman to arm for defense without
losing her status as such, and the United
States is perhaps bound to accept and
maintain that rule in its dealings with
all the belligerents.

Domestic Service.

The movement Of the Federation Of
Women's Clubs in this city to promote
steadfastness in domestic service is dis
closing many interesting facts with ref
erence to the relationship between
householders and family "help" NJ
merous instances are brought to light
of longtime service, in some cases run
ming over many decades. 1t is, however,
not the rule in this city, as probably
in others, that domestic servants remain
long in one employment. Perhaps the
federation's inquiry will adduce the rea-
son for this shifting.
Is the average domestic servant prop
erly trained for that works To judge
from the complaints of housewives, there
is lamentable lack of real training in
household service. Comparatively few
of the COOKS working in Washington
houses have ever had lessons or instruc-
ton of any sort save that picked up
in their home kitchens. The public
schools have done little along this
line, but unfortunately few graduates of
the schools go into domestic service,
largely because of the small wages they
are offered, but chiefly because of the
mistaken notion that work of this kind
is socially deelassing. There is a dig
nifty about well performed household
service which should be preached broad
ly by all who are interested in social
economics. This lesson should be taught
in the schools.
A survey of Washington's household
service conditions would be Of great
value in determining the causes of the
ills of which housewives complain, the
shortage of help, the incompetence Of
servants and the uncertainty of tenure.
Perhaps the wages paid here are too
low Perhaps the fact that the great
majority Of the domestic servants live
at home instead Of at their service places
has to do with the situation. In any
case, the matter is of vital interest to
every person, and the Federation of
Women's Clubs could do no better work
than to continue the present research.
Meanwhile the examples Of long and
faithful service brought to light from
time to time are helpful in that they
emphasize the fact that it is possible
to maintain this relationship uninter-
ruptedly and with perfect satisfaction on
both sides.

Tammany.

| Well, Tammany marched in the pro
cession. Mr.. Murphy himself showed up
wearing a smile and carrying flag
If there was expectation in any quarter
that he would ride with Mr.. Wilson il
was disappointed. He took his place
among, the plain people. 1t was the
proper place, and the effect was not lost
on the crowd.
Mr.. Wilson received the Tigers sub
| mission without any special sign. His
manner differed from that Of Mr.. Bryan
| who in 1896, when in New York city on
stumping tour, exclaimed to the crowd
"Great is Tammany; and Croker is its
prophet" Mr.. Croker in that campaign
did all he could for the candidate, al
though he was troubled about the name
He referred to him in conversation as
O'Bryan. If the o and the apostrophe
| we're intended as sly bid for the Irish
| vote the maneuver failed. At any rate
| Tammany could not deliver the state
to the man whose candidacy rested on
a proposed fifty-cent dollar.
It is not likely that Mr.. Wilson feels
any friendship for Tammany, or Tam
many for him, as the result of this DEM
onstration. 1t was simply business
sort of gamble on the part Of both. Mr.
Wilson needs Tammany this year, and
if he is reelected, Tammany will need
him next year. 1t is a bit of political
comedy, with which the big town and
the whole country are familiar.
Tammany is both comedian and philos-
opher. 1t does not cherish resentments
1t forgives readily. It shifts ground
and takes on and leaves off coadjutors
with great ease. Many men who are
training with it today will be against ii
next year. This year they are happy to
be in its company, and will gladly &C
eept the fruits of its utmost activity
Next year they will post it as an enemy
of good government, and threaten il
with the police.
But better is expected Of the Presi'
dent by Tammany. If he gets second

Ascension and revelation on this sub
Beet: What and why are rainbows; and
Ahat are the best means for knowing
hem and chasing thems
It is unnecessary to declare that rain
bows arc not the products of this cam
baign. They are rockribbed, and an
eient IS the sun, so to say. Their re-
aation to the sun, by the way, is we'll
and widely known. Politicians have
been using them for ages. They we're
brought over in the Mayfower, and have
been in employment steadily ever since.
1t is conceded that, If an evil, they are
a necessary evil; that we need them in
our business; that, without them, We
should have to make some radical
changes in our methods Of playing party
against party for the control of the gov
eminent.
The evil in them is known. Some per
sons have suffered terribly from it.
Take, for instance, the ardent partisan,
who not only believes in his party, but
in everything the party managers tell
him. While campaign is in progress
he reads all the encouraging news from
his side; and when the file leaders tell
him and the public that it is all over
but the shouting, he puts up his coin, If
there is sporting blood in his veins, on
the assurance. Then, if he loses he is
distressed, and sometimes makes his
feelings known.
Nor is he much comforted when told
that he ought not to have wagered ON
what he considered "a dead sure thing" /;
nor that he should have known the
tricks of the trade; nor that the too
ready appeal to the wallet is an evil
dence of excitability, and that the true
sport should be superior to excitement,
taking everything, even the best things,
calmly. All the loser knows is that he
hss lost, and that his heart aches within
him.
But, while not new, the rainbows this
year have been unusually brilliant, and
chased with an eagerness and assidulty
far out Of the ordinary. And for this
veason we should all be told-the laity
% to say, who are not charged with the
duty. of rainbow Notwithstanding
further about the article, SO that we may
be able to appraise them when they sp-
pear, and be prepared next time against
taking them for what they are really
not worth.

Shockingly High Food Prices.

At the present rate of food prices this
winter wiiA find the American people
paying more dearly for the necessities
of life than ever before in their history,
save in the days of the civil war. A
recent advance of 90 per cent in the
price of bread is but one item. Milk
prices have also risen here and in
other cities. Eggs are going up at
an appalling rate. The other day
in Pittsburgh they sold at IS cents
a dozen, or 81 cents apiece. Other
articles are advancing at SHOCKING rate.
Vegetables, which cost no more to raise
now than ever. are almost forbiddingly
high. Cabbage, which once was one of
the cheapest Of foods, is now one of
the dearest. 1t is strange fact that
in all this orgy Of high prices meat is
not advancing. 1t is relatively the
cheapest food in the market today. But
housewives are fearful of an advance in
this commodity at any time. They go
to the stores and the markets from day
to day in fear lest beef and lamb, veal
and pork have risen over night. Usual
ly it is meat that leads the advance,
and the fact that it is down in COM
parisop while everything else is up sug-
gests that the high prices in food arti-
! cles are the result of artificial stimula-
ton For the same conditions that make
the cost of dairy COW maintenance
greater should make the cost of meat
cattle rise as well.
II this government were to investi-
gate the food prices searchingly it would
probably find much less of real war
rant for increased costs than the pro-
duceYs and wholesalers claim. Such an

months, would be boon to the public.

long protracted that they fail Of their

Armed Merchantmen.

The question has been raised in the
Marina ease whether the presence Of a
gun ON that ship will be cited by Ger
many as an excuse for her destruction
without warning in case it is proved that
the vessel was torpedoed before an op-
portunity had been given to put of her
company. 1t is suggested that Germany
has never conceded the point of the ode
fensive armament" of merchantmen,
while the United States has not agreed
that the presence of defensive gun on
a commerce carrier deprives her OF the
right to full warning before destruction
Because of the fact that there has been
no agreement between the two countries
on this point, it is possible that in the
present instance, if the ship was sunk
without warming, there may be a seri.
Gus conflict of opinion.
Germany's argument on this point il
that any gun, of whatever caliber and
wherever placed, constitutes merchant
man an armed ship as against sub
marine. Unquestionably a small ealibel
gun can destroy an undersea boat. So, in
fact, can an unarmed ship. if il
can be so Unanswered as to ram the
frail submarine. Thus potentially any
steamship is armed against submarine
whether by its PROV or by its so-calied
defensive gun.
International law. as framed in the
past, does not take submarines into ac
count, because they were not part Of
the war-making enginery when thes,
laws were formulated, and views mer
ehantmen as unarmed If only defen
sively armed, as against pirates
etc. The advent Of the submarine
has rendered the old provisions, ap
