Romance Rampant.

Romance still lives. She who
doubts it has only to look at Fiume.
Whoever approaches that city these
days does so with a gesture. If he
doesn't actually don doublet and
hose he goes through all the mo-
tions as though so attired. So mat
ter-of-fact a profession as the
Fourth Estate is not unaffected
Witness the description of the As
sociated Press reporter as publish
ed the other day. No prosaic entry
on foot or in a f1ivver for him, por-
table typewriter in one hand and
fountain pen in the other. Instead:
The correspondent reached Fiume
from Triest. being buried in coal in
the tender of a locomotive for the
last part of the journey. Once
or twice the correspondent lifted
his head above the coal. but most
of the time he kept himself buried
though almost suffocated." 1t
was Mr.. Lowell who said that no
writer seemed able to touch upon
Shakespeare without being inspired
above himself. No one seems able
to go near Fiume without being in
fected-"almost suffocated"-by the
romance now rampant there.-New
York Evening Post.

POLITICS
By The Occasional Prophet

Is New Jersey slipping? asks the
New York Evening Post. This is the
anxious inquiry from Republican to
Republican as they read that Chair
man Hays has sent a letter to Chair
man Stokes. suggesting that a victory
in the Presidents State this fall
would be highly appreciated. or

he has any reason to fear defeat. He
merely wishes the Republican victory

the nation in most emphatic terms

Will H. Hays, chairman OF the Repub-
lican National Committee. has written
a letter to Republican State Chairman
Edward c. Stokes.
THE Republican party will measure
its future steps forward by the new
needs of the nation with absolute JUS
tice for all" writes Mr.. Hays. Under
this wise guidance the labor of the
country is entitled to and will receive
fair representation in all the councils
of the nation. We will have just rene
dial legislation for the betterment of
this important group of our population
at all times. not only because 1t is
their due. but because by justice al
ways weecan prevent the insidious m

l. w. w. from taking hold in the
ranks of real labor.
Vigorous and thorough shall be our
efforts to make certain for the busi-
ness Of the country that opportunity
and encouragement which will insure
its development and. growth. In the
great readjustment ahead business
must have sympathetic help, not an
tagonistic curtailment."
Mr.. Hays declares law and order
shall reign, and says there should be
strong Federal regulation. not Federal
ownership. He promised a national
budget system.

earned the gratitude Of all good cit

the conscientious and intelligent
performance OF the duties Of his Of

that has given Chairman Mapes con-
siderable perturbation-the persist
ent taking away of District Day in
the House from the committee 1t
appears that there are some Repre-
sentatives who have little regard
for matters Of moment to the Dis
trict. and some of these. are ready
on the regular District Day TO set
aside District business and devote
the time to other matters. For in
stance, Rep. GRAHAM. OF Illinois,
last Saturday made an effort to
have the next District Day set aside
to the House on the sale of the war
plant at Nitro. w. Va Rep. Mapes
does not believe the disposal of the
plant at Nitro is of more importance
than the transaction of important
business for Washington. the Capital
of this country, so he vigorously op-
posed Graham's effort
1t is such matters as the foregoing
that make strong arguments in
favor OF the restoration OF the vot-
