DEMOCRATS MEETING
TO SELECT LOCATION
AND CONVENTION DATE

Keeping Mum
.(By United Press)

Washington, Jan. 8.-Leaders o.
the Democratic party gathered here
. today to fix a date and select a city
for the party's 1920 national conven
tion.
Like the Republicans, who met
here nearly month ago, the Demo.
Gratis face the probability, leaders
! said, of wide open fight for nomina.
:, ton, with a full crop of favorite sons
and other aspirants to the honor.
+ The committee will hold a public
session at the Shoreham hotel, to be
followed tonight by the Jackson din.
ner at the Willard, where prominent
Democrats from every section of the
h country will discuss the issues of
the campaign and the position of the
party. Incidently, it has ben decided
that hereafter the Jackson Day din
ner, which heretofore has been held
lbut once in four years, shall become
e n yearly event, and that instead of
bsing District of Columbia event,
it will be nationalized. 1t is to serve
ia future as an annual Democratic
party love feast, ct which ideas for
the good Of the party will be ex-
aRged by chieftains from every Sec
7tioR.
3s5S Fight Spirited.
+: AS the Democrats gathered, the
fight for tho convention was spirited
San Francisco, st. Louis, Cincinnati,
Cleveland, indianapolis and Kansas
City. all have been urging their
claims, and presenting alluring offers
to- the party leaders.
gR The most absorbing topic on every
hand was whether President Wilson
will be third term candidate, and II
he is not, whether he will indicate
his choice among the many who are
being discussed. 1t is considered GER
tain that the President will make his
position plain on the third term ques-
tiOn before the convention is held.
That he will not again be a candidate
was also the belief of most of the
leaders. They expect him to keep his
hands Off and to have no part in
selecting the nominee.
q Chairman Presides
:, Homer S. Cummings, chairman of
the national committee, is to preside
both at the committe meeting and
the dinner Women from many states
are here for the session, as are many
Of the Democratic state chairmen,
who were included in the call for the
meeting. 1t was expected, leaders
said, that the session might last two
days.
Among the most talked Of as can
diiates today are William G. Nc
,Adoo, former secretary Of the treas
tury, and President Wilson's son-in-
law: Senator Atlee Pomerene of
Ohio; Senator Gilbert Hitchcock of
Nebraska; former Secretary of State
Bryan; former Ambassador to Ger
many Gerard and Senator Oscar I'm

When an army was conquered In
Roman times. it was obliged to ''pass
under the yoke" as an evidence Of
defeat at the hands of the, enemy.
This yoke" was sometimes made by
setting up two. spears and putting a
third across the, top. Our English
word subjugate derived from Latin
>"sub." or under, and "jugum," or yoke)
thus contains In it's composition a
spectacular custom from the military
life of the Romans. 80 j..,.

 Big people are just like the rest of us in their hours of leisure" says Eu- gene R. Johnston of the Hardie-Tynes Company. My brother w& at Fort Sheridan, near Chicago, in the summer of 1918, along with other Auburn Col lege boys, taking the officers course. One evening a lot of them went into Chicago, and during the evening they gathered in their room at a hotel and began singing college songs
 "A stranger knocked at the door and asked to be admitted as @ member of the choral party. Asked who he was, he said he would later give his name He joined the boys in their glee songs, singing so well that the others almost forgot their parts in listening to him. After half sour or so one of the boys again asked him who he was My name is John Mccormack was the reply. After the first shock of sur prise at entertaining such celebrity the young men and Mccormack re- stunned their singing for another hour, after which MT. Mccormack bade them simple farewell and retired to his own room in the same hotel. MT. Me Cormack told the boys that he en- joyed singing with them much more than he had enjoyed entertaining a packed audience at local auditor ium earlier in the evening"

Even when she finds that her clothes

 she is getting fat She'll explain that her clothes are shrinking Whisky is $l00 gallon in Chicago. And just to think that a few years ago a mail order house would send you a gal Ion of whisky, four whisky glasses, four cockscrews and a handsome picture all for $1 .67.
 Of course it is none of our business But any man who uses a white horse to haul coal wagon should send the pool nag to the laundry once in a while. When two men have it in Tor each other they are looking for chance to have it out.
 The man who is always advertising the fact that he wears a No. shoe never says a word about the fact that he wears a No. hat. ! The trouble with giving a boy two mid dle names is that he'll waste lot of his
 time in life using both of them After the world saddles the blame on a man it will spend lot or time riding all over him.
 If girl can get familiar enough with man to make him drop the prefix Miss" when he speaks to her, she is getting ready to have him substitute the prefix Mrs A married man should nor crow over the fact that he can fool his wife. This is one of the rules that work both ways.
 Man is born to wish He spends the first half of his life wishing he w 2 married and the second half wishing he
 wasn't married.

High Rents Everywhere

N"It is pretty much the same old world wherever one goes" says Carl c. Brown, general sales agent of the Gulf States Steel Company, who has returned from a business trip carry ing him to all the principal cities of South America, on both the east and west coasts.
 When I left home I heard great cry about high rents and the housing famine. At Montevideo, Santos, San Paulo, Buenos Ayres and Rio de Ja- neiro there was the same H8Fain. Just as in Birmingham, they said they had not been building houses for series of years and the need was great. The complaint of high rents was as vo- ciferous as in this country. On the other hand, there was every evidence Of wealth. South America has a lot Of money made incident to the war and Birmingham manufacturers can get their share of it if they go for it with the goods which that country wishes. Inasmuch as South America wants all sorts of goods, there are no exceptions as to trading opportunity"

A REFUGE IN PRISON


we were to taunt him with going back to prison he might reply with some justice that after all he was only fol- lowing a policy of watchful waiting. and that just as soon as the prices came down he would be ready to try another bout with the world
 When he reads in his newspaper that the cost of living has increased 2 per cent during the last three months. that real beer is non existent, and that milk is 25 cents a glass can we blame him for not taking the plunge at such an unfavorable <moment? Many people have given up all hope of building for this year. The ex-convict has gone only one step further and has temporarily given up hope of earning living.
 There is nothing very strange about this, yet such a frank acceptance of things as they are by an ex-convict may lead to surprising. even apalling re- suits. It may be the only way to lay low the profiteer is to start wave of petty crime throughout the country. The voluntary incarceration of some millions of potential victims might com pei the profiteers to cut down their prices. But probably we are too sensi- tive to public opinion, we lack the sturdy common sense of the criminal oI

 ruffled calm of prison life has,
 S of course, found tn esurest rem e6y for the high cost of living. Rather than battle with the profiteers person. ally he prefers to have the government do the housekeeping for him. Most of us will scoff at such lack of initiative, but after all are we in as good a posi- tion to judge as the convict?
 Presumably this original was born a free man and after due consideration he decided upon the profession of bur g1ary. Evidently he met with little success, or at any rate he antagonized his fellow men to such an extent that he was deprived of civil liberty. Thus he knows the game of life both as spectator from the jail and as an ac- tual player. Asia spectator he behaved so we'll that he was released, only to find that the air of freedom was so cholzed with high prices that existence became intolerable.
