WHEN THE CONVENTION MEETS.

When the republican convention
meets there will be four leading can
dates. Lowden, Wood. Johnson and
Harding of Ohio. All OF these will
come to the convention with q real
following Of delegates. They Will be
the leading candidates.
Poindexter does not appear to be
gaining delegates or making progress
with his candidacy: but he will go
10 Chicago with the Washington
state delegation; Sproul OF Pennsyl-
vania will probably have the first
votes of most OF that state delega-
zion: Hoover will have votes; DR..
Butler Will have some scattering
support
There may and probably will be
other candidates. Certain 1t is that
receptive candidates will not be
lacking. Also it is likely to be a
convention with a very large number
Of uninstructed delegates in it.
The situation Is its own complica-
ton. The possibility Of dead lock
between the leading candidates
makes hope for the dark horses and
compromise candidates. In fact that
prospect Is the chief dependence Of
the Hoover supporters. If bad blood
and dissension mar arise or be Gull
tivated between leaders the profit c;
such personal and sectional differen-
ces falls to the dark horses.
Who shall be nominated at the
Chicago convention? Make your own
guess. The convention has the last
guess.
Older voters will recall the con-
vent!on. also at Chicago, when Gar
field with a scattering vote thru
days of deadlock between powerful
candidates stepped in and won the
prize.

SELECTING THE FAMOUS.

Nominations for the hall OF fame
at New York University to which "a
names will be added this year include
the names of Susan 8. Anthony, Bar
bara Frietchie and Frederick Douglas.
The decision Is interesting because
1t is the first time a negro has been
included in the nominations OF the
university.
That is about all, interesting, little
more. So far as Barbara Frietchie's
famous defiance or Stonewall Jack
son and his army no alleged hall Of
fame can add to what Whittier has
established. Whittier made history
when he wrote the poem. That he
took advantage OF the license accord
ed to poets and made q good story
better is neither here nor there now.
The American people want TO see the
dusty streets OF Fredericksburg and
the brave old figure leaning out of
window as Whittier saw them and
refuses to abate one jot or little Of
the spectacle the poet describes.
Fred Douglas was the first slave
to rise TO actual influence and respect
nationally and officially after emanci-
patton. He belongs in hall OF fame
not because Douglas was especially
great as compared with white jour-
nalists and publicists and. let Us say.
statesmen, but because he represents
the sunrise Of race. Susan B. An
thony will have larger nail OF fame
than any university can establish. She
is as much part and parcel Of the
equal sufffase movement as John
Adams and Patrick Henry of the
struggle Of the colonies for indepen-
dance.
Perhaps, within a generation or
two, some great university shall vote
Carrie Nation into its hall OF fame;
for Carrie was the Daniel Boone and
Lew Wetzel of prohibition.

On the wing tho chimney swallow
looks like an athlete stripped for the

SCOTT COUNTY PAVING.
rDayenport Democrat.l

The board of Supervisors decided
wisely that II Scott county 10 to have
paved country roads, 1t may a. well
have roads that will last. II could
have built roads that would be cheap
or than brick. but 1t might have been
necessary to rebuild them inside Of .
decade-undoubtedly would have been
necessary where they had to carry
the heavy traffic that will concentrate
on some Of the county's main thor
oughtares as soon as they are paved.
So il decided to build roads that
would stand UP. and be as good ten
years from the time they are opened
to the traffic as they were on that
suspicious day. The decision VIII
have the commentator Of everyone
who will use the roads. and Of those
who have to pay for them.
The supervisors were also wise in
not deciding to defer the paving pro-
gram. It Is not at all certain that
dollar could have been saved by post
ponement- Undoubtedly many coun-
ties and states will postpone, and it IS
we'll for a country wide paving pro-
gram not TO pe attempted al n one
year. But that does not make II less
to the advantage OF a county to have
been one OF the first to pave. Scott

be multiplied by being the first in the
field. While the cost is higher than
average costs have figured in the past
We take il that this is because prices
nave advanced as everyone knows.
and because average costs are figured
on less permanent forms Of pavement.

ONE BREWERY INCIDENT.

Over at Maquoketa a few years
ago a brewery was doing a flourish
ing business. It was extremely pro-
ftable for its proprietors until the
restrictions put on intox!cants closed
it down. Il stood there vacant except
for the hope that the promised re
vuIsion" would arrive and the good
old days come back bringing with
them the huge profits to the brew
er and the corresponding deficit in
clothes. bread and shoes to the fam
ilies, whose earnings created the
profits. But the revulsion never came.
Things grew worse and hope died.
Then the proprietors of the brewery
leased the building.
For what? Merely a condensed milk
factory. The machinery is on the
ground. the milk contracts made with
the farmers and the factory is TO
start up soon employing a number Of
persons.
From the economic outlook ahead
and behind is 1t likely that the peo-
pie Of lIaquoketa and vicinity would
trade that condensed milk factory for
another brewery? Would they De
better satisfied to see the cases"
coming out under blanket or the
milk cars going in openly? Would
the farmers prefer to exchange high
prices paid them for milk for high
prices paid the brewer to- beer? And

CUMMINS IS NEEDED THERE.
fWaterioo Courter.1

Senator Cummins, when mis- present
srm expires will have served twelve
years in the senate. His record IL q
good one. He has stood for the things
Inc people Of Iowa desired. He has
yiven attention to the peoples BUSH
less. He has grown in the esteem
# his colleagues and of the people Of
he nation; he has made good. He
mas Just finished the enormous task
II getting thru congress . railroad
bill. It is not perfect nor all that
everybody would desire. but II IL
probably as good rs any other hu-
man being could have engineered
past the multitudinous rocks that be-
set It. and II Is probably better than
Mr. Brookhart would have gotten
had he been chairman Of the senate
committee on interstate commerce..
Senator Cumrains has had twelve
years experience in the senate; IL
president pro tempore Of that body,
and possesses large influence. He
ia in a position to render to Iowa and
the nation important service: SER
vice that il Is impossible for any new
senator. regardless Of his brilliance to
achieve. short of six years. The sit
uation IN the country and in the SEN
ate Is such that to substitute new
md inexperienced man for Senator
-urnmins. at this time, would appear
20 the country at large to be not only
without warrant but wholly lacking
The usual Iowa common sense. II
would be like replacing an able. ex-
oeriefced superintendent OF public
schoo, system. in the midst Of crit
cal situation. with man wholly I'M
familiar with educational affairs and
the technique of the school system.

Next morning down Broadway
passed the strangest procession rev.

In front marched Thaddeus clad only

full force Of the soviet's Chinese
