II 1t is true that history repeats it,
self, it is inevitable that We shall
have hard times soon A period OF
unrest and huctuating prices has fol
lowed every war in history. This So
called prosperity which has followed
the world war is built on mighty
vacuum and will topple sooner or
later. We may escape it, but the
evidence is against it, Read little
history and see if this is not true.
You will find that high cost of living
and extravaganza has followed every
war--that this period thru which we
are passing is not worse than many
that have preceded. We had Just such
time after the Civil war.
Then why can we not take lesson
from these past experiences? Why
must we invite disaster by throwing
our income to the four winds of hea-
ven2 Where are all the wiseacres that
were talking about preparedness a
few years ag0Y Why don't they show
little caution now and prepare
against money panic2 He who takes
advantage of this prosperous season
and lays away some of this money
can afford to laugh when trouble
comes, And If it does not come, if
the panic should be averted. he surely
has gained by his prudence.

DEATH comes to all of us but there
Is vast amount Of difference in the
manner of its coming, and there is a
vast amount of difference in the inn
preston that IS left by the Grim
Reaper. 1T may be glorious; it may
be ignomini0us. We gain the clear.
est idea of glorious death when we
picture the brave doughboy who
plunged over the top and met the en-
envy without ilinching. lie was serv-
ing no selfish ends, but noble idea
he was in very truth laying down his
life for his brother.
Then there is this latest form OF
death~from wood alcohol 1t seems
almost iucouceiyable that humans on
the same planet and with practically
the same environment could be the
possessors of such widely dissimilaI
instincts which lead to the same re-
suit, at least as far as physical con
uition IS concerned. Ii is undoubtedly
the duty of the state to protect its
citizens even against their own brain
lessness, but II is difficult matter
to refrain from Caustic remarks where
these wood alcohol victims are con.
cerned. 1t seems decidedly unfair that
we must spend hundreds of dollars in
legislation and red tape to prevent
further deaths and more hundreds to
care for those made blind thru THEFT
own mad craving, When so much
should be done for our boys who
were crippled and MANNED in The
Great War IN order that these same
6rainless fools M ght enjoy safety ant
freedom.

keynote address, urges the party to
wage the fight for President:

than 1t had ever before achieved.

Republicans Secret Foes Of Treaty
The Republican platform not only
repudiates the League of Nations. but
praises, without discrimination all of
the Republican Senators who nartici.
pated in its defeat Its words of bene.
diction fall alike upon the irreconciI.
ables, the Lodge reservationists. the
mild reservationists and those who pro.
posed separate peace with Germany.
1t is consistent In one thing only, the
recognition OF the fact that the open
foes OF the treaty, the secret foes OF the
treaty, and the apparent friends of the
treaty who consipred with its enemies.
are equally responsible for the destruc,
tion Of the instrument itself. 1t would
be idle to- inquire by what political
legerdemain this meaningless and vet
ominous declaration was prepared.
Party Stands for Wars Ideals
LET the true purpose of-our party
be clearly understood" Mr.. Cummings
said in concluding his address. 1--WE
stand squarely for the same ideals of
peace as those for which the war was
fought. We support without flinching
the only feasible plan for peace ahd
Justice. We will not submit to the re :
pudiation of the peace treaty or to any
process by which It Is whitfield down
to the vanishing point. We decline to
compromise our principles or pawn our
immortal souls for selfish purposes. We
do not turn our backs upon the history
of the last three years. We seek no
avenue of retreat. We insist that the
forward course is the only righteous
course.
1--WE seek to re establish the fruits of
victory, to reinstate the good faith of
our country and to restore 1t to its
rightful place among the nations of the
earth. Our cause constitutes a sum
mons to duty. The heart of America
stirs again. Tho ancient faith revives.
The immortal part Of man speaks for us.
The services Of the past. the sacrifices
of war, the hope of the future, consti
tute spiritual force gathering about
our banners. We shall release again
the checked forces Of civilization and
America shall take up once more the
leadership of the world"

Edward w. Quinn, mayor Of Cam

man from Massachusetts, by the dele
CATION from that state.
Withdrawal of Daniel #. Doherty,

minute, resulted in seven delegates re
fusing to cast their votes, 1t was said.
The caucus named Senator Walsh to
the resolutions committee, and selected
him to head the delegation.
The six District of Columbia dele Il.
gates, including Bainbridge Colby, Sec
retary Of state, adopted a resolution
pledging their support to Attorney Gen.
eral Palmer for President. Secretary
Colby was selected as a member of the
resolutions committee.
Virginia delegates elected Represent
ative II. d. Flood chairman of their
delegation, and named Senator Carter
| Glass to be a member of the resolu-
tions committee.
Ratifying the instructions given them
by the state convention, the delegates
resolved to cast a solid vote on the first
ballot at least for Senator Glass as
presidential nominee, but took no bind
ing action as to further votes.
No causus was held by Wisconsin
delegates, but an informal agreement
made en- route to the convention, by
which Joseph T.. Davies, former federal

Detroit, June 2S.-(By A. P.)-

ten states, and who was convicted il,
Milwaukee of stealing the chief Of po-
Ices diamond studded badge and later
escaped from the Wisconsin state prison
according to the police, was captured
by detectives here yesterday.
Cushway barricaded himself in an at
tic when officers visited his rooming
house, but finally gave up two revolvers
and surrendered without carrying out
threats after resisting arrest.
A woman also was arrested. charged
with acting as an accomplice with
Cushway in pillaging numerous Detroit
houses. Cushway attempted to escape
from officers taking him to police head
quarters today by trying to jump from
an automobile. In the lining of his
coat several steel saws were found.

Only McAdoo's final and unequivocal

of a dark horse.
The woman vote is a big factor, too,
with regard to the platform. The
declaration regarding prohibition will
be dry, or it will be a meaningless
straddle 1t won't be wet. The lib

cially the southern drys, who think that

See Presidents Shadow
Over the convention hangs not only
doubt of it's leading candidates inten :
tions, but doubt about the White House
The Democrats would like to get Mr..
Wilson out of the way. They think
that this would leave them all free, in
cluding Mr.. McAdoo, for they impute
his hesitation to some doubt about the
Presidents intention and feel sure that
in some way, directly or indirectly, the
White House was responsible for the
McAdoo statement of Withdrawal.
The administration forces bere are
divided. Senator Walsh, Of Montana,
always faithful administration man
in Washington, is here set down as an
anti administration candidate for per-
manent chairman. He leads a faction
which is restless over the President,
keeping himself constantly in the pic
ture. This faction thinks that the
President ought to declare himself not
a candidate for a third term and thus
set his party free. There is much re-
sentiment here at the administration g
silence. No one here thinks for q
moment that Mr.. Wilson will be nomi :
mated again The delegates will moi
take him.
But many here believe that the third
term idea is cherished in or near the
White House, and that it came near
wrecking the McAdoo candidacy, and
may yet do SO.
