An Immediate Start.

Candidate Harding took the right
course III starting his campaign. He
started il immedia.ely. The party no
sooner decided the question of the
standard bearer than he decided the
question of the campaign manager.
There was general expectation thai,
in any ease, Mr.. Hays would continue
at the head Of the republican national
committee. His services in that place
have been much appreciated; have
shown him to be very apt and capable
in organization work. He had ex-
hibited quality in a local field-that of
Indiana-before entering the national
field; and in the national campaign
of two years he handled matters with
skill. Hence the feeling that. regard
less of how the convention might
choose, Mr.. Hays would be the right
man to manage the campaign.
The choice of Mr.. Harding strength
ened the ease of Mr. Hays The two
men are from the same neck of woods.
They have been educated. so to say,
in the same school of politics. Ohio
and Indiana are next door neighbors.
Strenuous politics has for years mark
ed both states. Hence, it will be easy
for candidate and manager to under
stand each other. and work together
in entire harmony
Mr.. Hays has the situation clearly
before him. Since taking his place
in the national field he has been tire
less traveller on committee work. He
has visited nearly every state, famil-
iarized himself with local conditions.
and made local acquaintance. All of
this is now to the good, and transfer
able to Mr.. Harding.
1t looks like warm campaign.
There is much confusion and quite as
much anxiety; and both parties will
be well advised if they begin work
early, keep it up steadily, and take
nothing for granted. Hullabaloo did
not win at Chicago. and is not likely
to win either at San Francisco or in
the contest before the people.

Mr.. Bryan's One-Term Proposition

=
Not line in the Chicago platform
declaring against second term in
the White House. But none was e1-
pected. Except in the case Of Mr..
Hayes-who by express pronouncement
had taken himself out Of the calcu-
lation-the republicans have always
renominated their Presidents. Lin
coin, Grant, Harrison, Mckinley, prac-
tically Roosevelt, and Taft, found
party Endorsement In convention as
their first terms were closing.
Mr.. Harding Is ffty-fve years old,
physically as fit as robust man OF
forty, and, if elected, is likely to
show up four years hence-verging on
si1ty-as strong as today. He has
had experience Of official cares, ana
will know how to adjust the pack Of
the presidency to his shoulders.
What about San Franciscoi Will
Mr.. Bryan renew this year, and ask
the democratic convention to indorse,
his well known views about second
termf He has been outspoken on the
subject for long time, and eight
years ago at Baltimore tried to settle
the matter 30 Far 40 the democracy
vas concerned.
But, as he afterward discovered, he

reckoned without the nominee. Mr..
Wilson would not be bound by the
conventions expression. He left the
matter to time, and time decided in
his favor Mr. Bryan eoul5 not raise
the point in 1919, because he was not
a member OF that years convention,
and 10 delegate did. So Mr.: Wilson.
Notwithstanding the one-serm plank of
the platform of 1912, was reneminated
with whoop.
No man whose name will be present
ed at San Francisco is carving weight
for age: Hence, any of them should
still be fit four years hence, and In
physical condition to stand for sec
ond term if given a first.

Every one is called upon now and
then to visit the sick room. Condi-
tions surrounding the bedside vista
tiOns present wide variation. There
is one rule that holds good under all
conditions, and that is to carry cheer
and sunshipe-not long face, but a
smile. If the patients are able talk
to them of what is going on outside.
Help them to forget themselves. A
man who for over twenty years had
been paralyzed, was visited by a
friend who was profuse In expressing
his sympathy and regret at the sick
mans helplessness. AS he was about
to leave, the afflicted man said, "Come
again, won't you. but when you do
please forget to tell me that you are
sorry for me as every one tells me that.
I've heard 1t every day for twenty
years. Help me to forget 1t. Bring
me breath Of the outside world"
