A Dark Horse.

As the Chicago convention is on
the eve of balloting for presidential
candidate, interest is keen in talk
about a dark horse and about the true
definition of a shadowy equine.
The term, properly used, would ap-
pear applicable to man hitherto I'm
associated even with speculation about
the presidency. Not nobody. Not
man without experience in public
service of any kind. Nor yet a man
without positive convictions on any
of the leading issues of the day. But
a man who has. escaped notice in this
time of feverish and strenuous en-
deavor on the part of number Of
men to land the Chicago prize.
Now, clearly, the term dark horse
would not apply if Hughes, or Per
shing. or Harding, or any man of
that sort should be nominated. They
are we'll known, and could be identi
fed easily on any of the issues with
which the Chicago platform is likely
to deal.
There has been no Hughes boom.
The Pershing boom has not the
boomee's Endorsement, and hence lack
ed the proper try-out. The Harding
boom has been q modest affair, but Of
sufficient size and respect to put the
boomee adequately ON record. The
country knows what these men repre-
sent, and voters could plump for or
against either one Understandings.
While the situation is such that near
ly anything may happen, the nomina-
ton of dark horse, properly So
called, does not seem likely. The en-
trants are numerous; and, while the
jockeying is confusing, the line, in
the end, may be Strengthened out to a
good start, and the purse 60 to the best
nag openly in the race.

Police Promotions.

The police promotions announced
yesterday are in line with the general
policy that has prevailed at the Dis
trict building for long period. Of
recognizing efficiency and seniority In
the filing Of vacancies and new posi-
tions. 1t does not invariably happen
that seniority alone stands as the sure
ly determining factor, yet length Of
service should and does count ma
terially. Tho combination Of the two
elements is the safest guide, and it
is fortunately the case in the present
District service that through the stead
fast recognition Of the mort princi-
pie in recent years II has become pos
sible almost automatically to advance
the ranks and insure the most salts
factory results.
One notable feature of yesterdays
announcement is the advancement of
the head of the woman's bureau to
lieutenant. Mrs. Van Wrinkle now
holds, under this promotion, probably
the highest police rank In the coun-
try. The bureau Of which she is the
chief has fully proved ito value, and
nov, with an increased appropriation
for its work and moro adequate quar-.

The Convention City.

The present is the tenth national
convention the republicans have held
in Chicago. Six of the nominations
made there-that of Lincoln in 1850,
that of Grant in 1868, that Of Gar
field in 1880, that of Harrison in 1888,
that of Roosevelt in 1904. and that Of
Taft, l90s-were successful. Three
that Of Blaine in 1884, that of Taft in
1912, and that Of Hughes in 1916
were unsuccessful. A score of six out
Of nine-two to one-is good record,
and should prove a heartener this
year.
Chicago has not won these prizes
solely on account Of her central loca-
ton and her equipment for housing
and entertaining big crowd. Those
two things have, of course, counted
for much. A crowd Of visitors likes to
be well housed and well entertained.
But Illinois and neighboring states
have always been good fighting terri
tory for the republicans. Illinois her
self is normally republican. Ohio has
now and then elected a democratic
governor and now and then demo-
cratic senator. One of her senators at
present is a democrat, and four years
ago she paralyzed the country by Civ
ing a democratic national ticket nine
ty thousand majority. But normally
Ohio is republican.
Indiana was q close state for many
years, while Iowa and Wisconsin have
sturdy republican records.
OF the successful men nominated at
Chicago these were from the middle
country-Lincoln, Grant, Garfield, Har-
rison and Taft. The two who failed
Blaine and Hughes-were eastern men,
though they were at no disadvantage
in the middle country because of that
fact. Blaine was defeated in New
York, and Hughes in California.

War Taxes.

It would appear from an announce
ment made yesterday that certain mer-
chants in this city-probably not at
all unlike others elsewhere-have been
"holding out" on the government in
the matter Of war taxes through fail
ure to put the necessary revenue
stamps on goods sold. A round up has
been started in the field, and it is ex-
pected that shortly the tax evaders or
withholders will be made to realize
that they have been trifiing with a
very serious possibility of punishment
In some lines the war tax payment
by the merchants is somewhat a mat
ter of good faith. II is obviously in
a tax system of this character impos-
sible to insure inrariable and com
plete payments to the Treasury of
taxes collected. On some commodi
ties no stamps can be affixed. Nor is
the customer sufficiently familiar with
the law to know when taxes should be
exacted and when stamps should be
placed on the goods, where possible.
In practically all transactions the deal.
er is the only one aware of the re-
quirement.
In this matter of the war tax the
customer is, in truth, at the mercy
Of the dealer. When he is told 1.-TWO
dollars and half plus war tax or
Seventeen cents with three cents
more for the government" he pays
the sum asked without question. trust
ing implicitly to the integrity of the
salesman. II there is any dishonesty
whatever the customer may be muIcted
in more tax than the law requires, or
indeed, in a substantial war tax when
none is exacted by the Law.
Fortunately, with but very few ex.
captions merchants are strictly honest
in their dealings with their customers

The Chicago Keynote.

If the speech of the temporary
chairman of national convention is
truly "keynote" for the campaign,
that of Senator Lodge yesterday as
sures that the republican party will
this year make its appeal to the coun-
try chiefly on the issue of the league
of nations. Denunciation of the demo-
cratic administration is, of course, In
volved No political campaign can pos
siblv be conducted without a profess
sion of unmitigated disapproval of
what has been done by the opposition.
Specifications are not lacking in Mr.
Lodges declaration of war. Mexico,
the railroads and the high cost of hv-
ing are enumerated. But the burden
of his indictment is that President Will
son, with the approval and support Of
q majority of the members of his
party in the Senate, sought to impose
upon the United States a treaty of
peace which involved this country in
international entanglements and liza
bilities contrary to the spirit of the
American Constitution.
1t was inevitable that the leader of
the fight against unreserved ratifea-
tion should make the treaty and the
league the principal topics of his adj
dress. But there are other questions
involved in the campaign that will de-
mand equal stress in the party plat
form. The republican party will not
60 to the country on the league issue
alone. 1t is even now embarrassed by
the difficulty of harmonizing the diff
ferences between the "mild reserva-
tionists" and the "bitter- enders." Skill
full work is necessary to frame the plat
form declaration to prevent a split and
to insure at least outward unity. Thus
this issue, dominating the "keynote
speech" is not so clear-cut as the
present spokesman for the party would
have it, fact which in a large de-
gree deprives the opening utterance Of
the campaign of much of its signifi.
canoe.
As a rhetorical performance Mr..
Lodges speech is admirable. He is
a finished writer and a more than or
dinarily effective speaker. His de-
nunciations of the administration were
greeted with the enthusiasm to be ex-
pected of partisans assembled for the
purpose of naming a candidate who
they hop will defeat the opposition's
nomination. As an historical docu-
ment Mr.. Lodges speech is interest
ing, even important, though it adds
little. if anything, to the record. 1t
contains quotable passages that will
serve the speakers well in the cam
paign.

tiers for the house Of detention, which
constitutes its most essential feature,
it is to be expected that the capital
will handle with effectiveness the diff
fcult and delicate problem Of the care
Of the women who have fallen into
difficulties.
The police force as now organized
commands the full confidence Of the
community. 1t has proved itself re-
peatedly and positively. Its personnel
is Of high grade, despite the compare
lively small compensations granted by
the appropriations. Its leadership is
excellent and its standards are su-
perior to none in the country. A
spirit Of loyalty pervades the force
and the leaders hold the respect and
are given the support of the men in
the ranks. It is gratifying thus to
survey the police situation, in the light
OF these well deserved promotions,
and to feel that Washington is we'll
guarded.

The confidence that the man who buys
places in the man who sells is merited
in all but the rarest instances. 1t is
to the interest, therefore, OF the
strictly conscientious merchant now to
have this campaign for war tax hon
esty succeed. to bring to punishment
those who have been evading or VIC
lating the law and to assure the public
that in all cases the war tax schedule
is being fully and fairly followed, with
every penny thus collected turaed over
to the government.
