the Postmaster General as political
spokesman for the White House, the
development was accepted as indlcat-
ing which way tne wind OF adminis-
tration influence would blow. daspite
BurIeson's assertions that he was.
acting on his own initiative.
A complicating feature OF con
vention floor fight would be the
unit rule, under which many state
delegations are Instructed to vote
as body. 1t was suggested today,
however, that there might be a gen
eral agreement to let each delegate
be counted according to his own con-
victions when the prohibition issue
came to its final showdown.
Both Predicting Victory
On that basis both sides were pre-
dieting victory and many OF those in
a position to know were declaring
the outcome would be close.
Some of the oldest leaders in
fact, declared that the division might
be close enough to make argument
and oratary on the convention floor
the deciding factor. In any case
such an open fight would be likely,
it was predicted, to furnish many
thrilling turns. William Jennings
Bryan would be expected to lead the
bone drys, and he probably would
find pitted against him strategists
and orators of the first rank
w. Bourke Cochran Of New York,
was one OF those mentioned who
might be asked to match wits and
eloquenee with the Nebraskan In
the convention debate.
Two Decisions In One
Closely intertwined with the pro-
hibition question Is the problem of
selecting a nominee in accord with
the platform as finally agreed upon,
and among many of the practical
politicians there is feeling that
the two decisions must be settled
virtually at one stroke. So the pleas
Of candidates managers are falling
on deaf ears while the leaders get
their bearings on the more imemdldte
question of the bone dry or beer
platform.
The League of Nations disagree
ment along with several other dis
puted platform issues, has followed
the question OF candidates into tenn
porary eclipse. Among most Of the
leaders 1t is agreed th;0 whatever
trouble develops over the treaty
will be only a drop in the bucket
compared to the prohibition fight.
Bryan's League Plank
Bryan today made public his pro
posed League of Nations plank, fav
oring ratification of the Versailles
Treaty as approved by the Senate
majority and demanding a Consti
| tutional Amendment eliminating the
two thirds rule necessary to ratify
Administration leaders regard the
plank as embodying much the same
proposals as outlined by Bryan al
the Jackson Day dinner.
Such talk as there was today re
garding candidates seemed tC
strengthen the prospect OF dead
lock for several ballots. Some d
those in the inner circles OF politi
clans said II was hard to conceive
how the two thirds necessary t.
J nominate could be brought into on,
column for two or three rollcalls at
ileast. and they pointed out that il

to say it would not affect

We are separated from those who

Of saints, the communion of the spirits

CHARLES W. ELIOT YOUNG AT EIGHTY.FIvE

Charles w. Eliot, president
emeritus of Harvard, is an object les
son Of what correct living will do for
man, according to DR.. George s.
Meylan, professor Of physical educa-
ton and medical director of the gym
nasium at Columbia. He says:
"The striking thing about every
man I meet who is an exception in
health, vitality and long life is that
each mentions moderation as the rea-
son for his long and active life.
Charles w. Eliot is eighty-fsc (por-
trait herewith) and his long, active,
working life still continues without
the slightest bit Of slowing up. Hc
still works as hard as ever, but also
still takes his early-morning exercise.
l remember Doctor Eliot many years
ago. In rain or shine, sleet or snow,
the bitterest cold, each morning found
him cycling, horseback riding or walk
ing. And Doctor Eliot is as hard a
walker as ever"

STUART HITS THE SHORT BALLOT

William II. Stuart the able and
popular political editor of the Chicago
American. has this to say about the
short ballot proposition
Beware of the short ballot propa'
ganda
Back Of It lies corporation scheme
to make judges appointive, instead OF
elective.
The inner circle of the constitu.
tional convention has the short ballot
and appointive judges on its program
The judges probably would be named
by the Governor.
The plan is to give the Legislature,
through the proposed constitution, au-
thority to make judges appointive.
The short ballot propagandists are
not out in the open with their judicial
scheme. They argue that now the
people are bothered about the election
Of "a lot of unimportant officers, clerks
for instance" They say nothing about
judges.
The fact is. the elimination OF cler'
zeal positions would shorten the ballot
but little.
There are but half dozen elective
clerks In all Cook county.
But in Cook county there are over
seventy judges.
Citizens. guard we'll the sections OF
the present constitution which pro
vide for and guarantee the election OF
judges!
Keep in close touch with the pro
ceedings at Sprinfeld!

From the starting point it will be
a continuous climb, since the plane

full load and crew the airplane will
weigh 1900 pounds, Its speed will
average 93 miles an hour.

SPAIN STARTS MOVEMENT
TO AID DRIVE FOR BOOKS

Spain has started a Books for
erybedy." movement. II has gone
a step farther than the American
Library Association in its enlarged
program to bring books to the people
and people to the books.
In the public parks Of Madrid
Spanish authorities have set up
small collections of books for the
use of frequenters of the open places
Of the city, and the success of the
innovation has been attested by the
demands made on the little Libraries.
Spain evidently recognizes the
value Of. extending opportunities of
self-education through proper reading
matter and has adopted this novel
scheme to tempt those wltr few
minutes or hours leisure to employ
their minds to the best advantage.
In this move it is running on 4 par
allel track to that of the American
Library Association which has
launched its Books for Everybody"
movement throughout the United
States for the main purpose Of
bringing the best in the world of
literature within easy access of every
man, woman and child in the nation.
BY promoting the extension of
library service to the $4,000, 900 per-
sons now inadequately served, the
A. l.. A. hopes to open wide high
ways of vast opportunity for self
education, better citizenship and gen
eral advance in knowledge. Closer
acquaintance with American history,
ideals, and traditions, and transla
ton of such literature into the var
ious foreign tongues for the benefit
OF the 100000 new Americans.
who do much to solve many of the
social, economic and industrial prob
lens of the day, the Association be-
lieveS
The A. l.. A. to carry out the
broad scope of its Enlarged Pro-
gram, is now obtaining fund Of
$2,000,000 to be directed toward the
work in the next three years. No
intensive drive methods are used
Instead, Librarians, library trustees
and friends of libraries having the
matter in hand, are raising the
money through their individual eff
forts.
