Women will from now on have an
equal voice with men in planning and
managing Republican campaigns. This
Is assured through the adoption by
the convention of the report of the
committee on rules, the chief recon-

executive committee shall have a mem
bership of fifteen instead Of ten as
heretofore. The makeup of the com
mittee will be seven men, seven wom-

committee will have woman vice
chairman, ranking next in dignity to
the chairman. There will also be an
assistant secretary who will be a
woman. The women of the majority
got everything they asked for from the
convention Notwithstanding the fact
that a strong delegation of their sex
who are opposed to suffrage was on
hand. These latter were disappointed

The Supreme courts decision up
holding the prohibition amendment
and the Volstead act came at an OPP
perfume time to relieve the platform
trainers of embarrassment on the
question. The hopes of anti-prOhibi-
tlonistS which went from wet to moist
are now scarcely humid. Their only
recourse Is in the election of a CON
gress which will repeal or amend the
VOstead law.
Gov. Edward l. Edwards of New
jersey, who is making the race for the
Democratic presidential nomination
largely on the question of personal lib
erty, advocates a nationwide refer
endum on the question of prohibition.
He believes that the sentiment of the
people so expressed, will force an
amendment to the law. His conten-
ton is that the act goes too far in
attempting to regulate the habits Of
millions of citizens; that it places in
the lawbreakng and criminal class
millions of women all over the cOun-
try who make light wines from home
grown fruits for domestic use and
millions of farmers who make and ma
ture cider from their own orchards :;
that by the prohibition of beverages
of light alcoholic content, it has in
creased the Illicit dlstillatlon Of harm
full liquors to twentyfold their former
production; that many of the agents
Of enforcement, both state and fed
eral. have become either blackmailers
Of the lawbreakers or partners In
crime; that it is the main impelling
cause why 100000 men of foreign
birth have returned to their native
lands and that It menaces the whole
industrial fabric, and millions of work
ers are filed with resentment on ac-
count of the invasion Of their personal
liberties.
The New Jersey executive attacks
the law on several other counts and
one easily dlscerns that the question
is going to cut much larger figure
at San Francisco than 1t has at Chi
cago. In the Republican convention
the only entry similar to Governor Ed
wards was Senator France of Mary
land, and he never had chance, for
at no time was there any prospect Of a
wet track.

Reports of operations on the long
battle line of the Poles and Russian
bolsheviki extending from a point
north of Dvinsk on the Latvian from
tier to the Dnlester river and the Rou-
manlan border show a series Of at
lacks and counters with the net result
somewhat in favor of the Poles Their
campaign Is strengthened by the fact
that they are more than holding their
own. Moscow admits an additional
reverse suffered by the bolsheviki near
Perekop at the neck Of the Crimean
peninsula, but claims to have recov-
cred some of the lost ground.

Now that eggs are a little more

they do for breakfast. They can we'll

Agreement on the platform was eff
feCted in the Republican convention
Thursday night without any of the
fireworks which had been predicted
and anticipated. The pyrOtechnicS oc-
cured In the committee which framed
the platform and did not reach the
public nor the great body Of delegates
excepting through the press. The
League of Nations plank was the great
exciting cause and the difficulty was
the Republican senator's who had taken
such varying attitudes on the question
ever since President Wilson brought
the peace treaty and the league cove
nant back from Europe. The result
was accomplished in a very adroit
compromise which abuses the admin
istration as un-American in its stub
born insistence upon the league as
framed in Europe, pats on the back all
elements whether reServatiOniStS, mild
reSeryatiOnists or irrecOncilables in
the senate majority who opposed the
Wilson league; pledges the party TO a
continuation Of the policies of Wash
ington, Jefferson and Monroe and to
an international association which
shall provide international courts, de-
veop international law and secure in
slant and general international confer
ence whenever peace shall be threat
ened.
To many this must look like an In
dOrsement of the principle Of League
Of Nations although nothing is said
about mandates nor the duty of Amer
lea to take part in foreign embroll-
ments. On the other hand the plank
specifically states that the United
States shall have the right to deter
mine In advance what is just and fair
without becoming involved as partici-
pant or peacemaker in foreign quar-
rels. Much of this was gone over in
the senate debates and ii always
caused division in the Republican ma
jorlty, but at the convention 1t seemed
to satisfy all parties. Johnson claims

The Spa conference at the insist
enCe of Germans and Italians and in
the hope that the United States will
send a representative, has been post
poned until July 5. One of Germanys
big protests at the conference, aside
from the PREPARATIONS bill, will be
against reimbursng the allied nations
for the expenses of the armies Of oc-
cupatiOn and of the several control
commissions. These expenses are said
to amount to upward of 1OO,OO0OO0
marks or normally about $25,OOO,OOO a
day. If the cOnferees can be CON
WINGED that German resources will
stand this big sum in addition to the
huge PREPARATIONS, the money will be
very acceptable in tightening the mill
tary budgets of England, France, and
even the United States, unless our al
truiSm prevents the acceptance of a
portion OF it.
In spite of the uncertain political
situation in Germany, the problems
with which the Spa conference will
wreStle, the state Of affairs in Russia
and in the near and far East, note
Of distinct optimism comes from Eng
land and from sources close to Prime
Minister Lloyd George. The word Is
that the whole world is settling down
and that nations gradually are return
ing to sanity Ireland Is said to show
definite signs of returning TO peace on
a basis of permanent connection with
the British empire; Egypt is ready to
abandon its claim to complete indie
pendence and to accept a progressive
constitution; pan-Moslem agitation in
India is said to be dying down and
the Turkish situation Is clearing. In
this optimistic condition OF mind It Is
impossible to say to what extent the
wish fathers the thought. But If Eng
lish problems really are clearing 1t
argues well for improved conditions
all around. That the principal coun-
tries Of Europe are achieving a better
basis, materially at least, Is evident
In increased production, more ship
ments to the United States and a
slight amelioration Of exchange condl-
lions. Past history has shown France
and England at least, TO be wonder
full In the comeback sense.

Look to. Your Window Boxes

enware pot and all. The little box, made of wood and painted like the house, is attached to the house wall under a window. Some houses are made with one of these boxes at each bedroom window, each holding, for in stance, big pink begonia or pretty hanging vine. Altogether the idea is charming, and it is far easier to keep the contents of these tiny one flower boxes in order than to be troubled with keeping {. whole miniature garden in order.
 It would not be an expensive Or diff ficult matter for .'ou to have these little boxes made to match your house, and some man in your family can fasten them up without difficulty.
 Remember, when looking to the eff feet of your window boxes, that you can do a good deal by making the flowers carry out the color scheme of the awnings. That is. if you have bright red awnings, remember that purple flowers do not give the best re- suits. Red geraniums will be most ef- fective with red awnings. With green and white awnings any colors may be chosen for flowers in the window boxes, and the same is true of brown and white awnings. But if you have vel low and white awnings the flowers must be chosen with this color scheme in mind.
