Disguised the Duke.

From the Kansas City Star.
The Duke of Wellington, toward the
latter years of his life, disliked being
offered assistance in his walks about
London. 1t was not ingratitude, but a
case Of trying to persuade himself that
he was not growing old. And, further
han that, he had no patience with the
kind Of person who would rush to his
aid for the mere sake of being able to
relate afterwards to admiring friends
that he had been of assistance to the
great soldier. hat was entirely re-
pugnant to him. One evening he was
standing in Picadilly opposite Apsley
house. The street was crowded and
the duke hesitated on the curb for a
chance to cross. A gentleman nearly as
old as the duke swung out of the crowd
and made a pretense of helping the
famous man across the street. When
the duke reached Apsley house he
touched his hat and thanked the man.
The elderly stranger Immediately I'M
covered and with a bow began: my
lord, have passed : ioae and not uli-
eventful life. but never did 1 hope to
reach the day when 1 might be of the
slightest assistance to the greatest man
that ever lived" The duke eyed the
man colby. He was unstirred by the
rapture that glowed in the strangers
breast. Without a trace Of emotion in
his voice he retorted quickly: Don't
be a damned fool" and walked into
Apsley house.

.GOMPERS U"NCOMMlTTED
ON PLATFORM AS YET

San Francisco. July 6.-Samuel
Gompers. president Of the American
Federation of Labor, now enroute to
Washington, Sunday. telegraphed the
Associated Press this comment on the
platform adopted by the democratic
national conventions:
from the view point Of the present
impending political campaign it is too
early to say anything regarding the
declarations of the convention which
is still in session. 1t will be judged
by what it has declared and by whom
it selects as it's standard bearer. The
delegation Of the American Fedora
ton of Labor which attended the
convention will shortly issue q state
ment setting forth labor's attitude
toward the platform adopted"
Mr.. Gompers denied published re-
ports originating in San Francisco
that he had commented adversely on
| the platform.

Why Jeer La Toilette?
From tbs Milwaukee Journal.

A third party with La Toilette as can

would get La Toilette and Pinchot out
Of the republican paIty.-San Francisco
Chronicle.
Is that fair or square? There was all
the chance in the world to get La Fol-
lette out when the Senate was organ-
Ted a year ago. Not a move was made
not to recognize him. He was a good
republican then. What has La Toilette
npne since then that he had not done
before? The Chronicle is the paper
which represents the bourbons of Cali
fornia. Why should 1t want La Toilette
of the party?
The same thing - said on all hands.

yention teered." Some men have q
right to jeer. But did anyone heal Of
teers when he voted for the republican
organization of tha Senate and SO made

against the treaty?
Is it fair to use a man when you need
him and jeer him when you'd like to
have it understood that you stand for
something wholly different?

gates who have supported him, his
sincere gratitude, and to advise the
convention hat he is unwilling to
delay the deliberations longer.
Palmer, he said, feels the delegates
should have an opportunity to nomi-
nate the next president.
Therefore, he said, Palmer uncon-
~ditionally released his delegates.
Various delegates addressed the
groups, urging them to vote for Nc
Adoo, or for Cox.
The floor was a scene of turmoil,
men and women milling around, some
shouting through megaphones, with
the fate Of the democratic nomination
possibly being decided in the midst
of the confusion.
Ringing over the dramatic spectacle
were the insistent strains of the band,

Palmer Controlled 2f1 Votes.
On the 39th ballot, the last taken
before Carlin's momentous announce
ment, Palmer controlled I'll votes.
1t became known that Secretary
Daniels, Secretary Meredith and At
torney General Palmer were in con-
ference when h decision for Palmer
to release his delegates was made.
This, many observers believe, indi-
Gated definitely that Palmer's action
was part of a prearranged plan
whereby McAdoo, as an administra-
ton candidate would ge the bulk Of
the Palmer vote. Cox hackers, how
ever, professed to be sure Of a fair
share of the spoils.
Thomas Taggart announced the
Indiana delegation would be split, II
for McAdoo and 10 for Cox, on the
tnew alignment.
District of Columbia delegates said
they would transfer their six votes to
Cox.
The Il Palmer votes in the Ala
bama delegation, and the 10 in the
Virginia delegation were expected to
swing to McAdoo.
Georgia delegates first said they
would vote for Cox. Later, however,
they left the hau to hold a caucus.

they would be willing to open tho
discussion informally. After q con-
ference, Lloyd George and Milierand

This now permits a meeting On a
