 May Ride de Luxe

New York, July S.--After having crossed the ocean five times hidden behind bales and boxes, Mike Gill hooiey, IA years old Champion sto- away" may within few months travel luxuriously along trans-At- lantic liner bound for Europe for a temporary visit to promote his edu- cation.
 This became known today when Mrs. Marion V. c. Curry, who adopted the rish-Belgian war orphan, mascot of American troops, denied an err roneous report emanating yesterday firm Ellis Island that she had inquir- ed of immigration authorities there how she could be relieved of the custody of her ward.
 Mrs. Curry taid that she had asked Ellis Island officials what she would have to do if she wished to take the boy to Europe on trip which she is contemplating. She said that she did not want the boy deported, sbut that evidently the authorities had mis- understood her.
 'The boy has been good as gold" said Mrs. Curry, "and I do not want him deported. He has just completed school and is now going to boy scout camp for the summer"

However, the public might be more interested in what is being done in the way of financing the Cox and Harding campaign. Wood and Palmer are done for. The time to find out what is being done in behalf of Har- ding and Cox is now and not after the money raised for them has done it's work.

in his path. Voters have not been re- assured by the prominence of Senator Penrose, not only in the proceedings at Chicago but especially since the lconvention. The Pennsylvania boss speaks like one having authority. If he does this immediately after the nomination, what will he do after a republican victory at the polls? The republican party saw it's last admin Iistration wrecked upon this very rock of senatorial coordination" Presi- dent Taft with the best intentions in the world attempted to work with the leaders of his party in the senate and they seized the opportunity to "co-ordinate" with vengeance. In two years they had "co-ordinated" q republican congress into oblivion, and in four they had "co-ordinated" the party out of power.
 DeHdLOF IldTuiuS dSSOCidtiohS anu his utterances also place squarely upon him the burden of freeing him. self from the suspicion that by "co- ordination" with the senate he means this sort of thing. Nothing that he has said yet can dispel the unfavor- able jmpression in this respect created by his nomination. Soofer or later, and the sooner the better, he must say whether or not he means to be president or only super-senator. The country may be willing to make senator president, but it most decided ly does not want president who IS only a senator.
