NEW
SHIRTWAISTS
FOR GIRLS

Just as dainty and simple and
pretty as girls blouses should be
are these new shirtwaists that have
come in time to accompany Easter
suits.
Often they are all in spotless
white, but occasionally there Is a
blouse with a touch of color. A
few dotted Swisses have pink or
blue dots.
And it is amazing what variety
and attractiveness may be obtained
with tucks, tiny frills and lace
for that is all that is used to make
these blouses pretty.
Some are of fine white batiste,
some of white lawn, and others of
sheer white voile.

satisfied with no less. A plank was
inserted in the platform urging Re-
publican legislatures that have not
acted to ratify the suffrage amend
ment, but they did not appease the
ladies. In the last few moments OF
the last session they dropped from a
balcony great yellow banner on
which was the statement that they
wanted votes. not planks. AS for the
Irish, they too. made big demonstra-
ton in Chicago and Devalera, the
president Of their republic" was
there to deliver speech before a
great gathering. But something went
wrong with the plans, and the plank
which was tentatively shaped for the
platform suited them so little that It
was omitted entirely and nothing put
In Its place. There was q story that
this resolution had been drawn up by
Justice COhaian Of New York in the
hope that It would be unsuitable and
that the Democrats In San Francisco
would be enabled to take advantage
of the circumstances. So, though con-
siderable space has perforce been
given to the platform of the Rspubli-
can party, it is not because 1t must
be considered as a great or q particu-
larly strong announcement. Lots of
men and women in the party are far
from pleased with many parts of it
and 1t must be confessed that the
writer failed to find any one who was
crazed with enthusiasm over it.
The story of this convention would

be intensely interesting If one could
tell all the truth about the secret In
fluences that governed Its actions. On
the surface It was not very excit-
ing affair and the enthusiastic out
bursts that characterized some OF Its
sessions appeared too often to be
facetious. For five days the 1900
delegates, alternates, seat holders and
possessors of tickets that allowed
them to stand about the few open
places and hamper everybody else
gathered faithfully in the Coliseum.
prepared to howl with glee over ex-
pected contests and triumphs. But
most Of the time all they could do was
to cheer for their favorlte on occasion
and try to keep up with the strong
lunged song and cheer leader who
had been brought up from Camp
Deyens.
From the first 1t was heralded a.
that most unusual thing. an Embossed
convention. All the experts asserted
that the delegates were going to do as
they pleased and that the Old-time
leadership was impotent. For day
or two this seemed true but then the
senate eoterie got into action and from
that time to the end what was done
was generally what it wished done.
To start with, Senator Lodge was
selected as temporary chairman. wa

ScarcaIy an hour Of the day or night
when he was not la communication
with his friend John T. King. He
knew all that was going on, and 1t Is
fair to assume that in most cases he
knew beforehand that 1t was going to
60 on. What happened, happened be-
cause he willed that it should happen
This is not written exactly In criticism,
fer 1t may be that what Penr0se de-
creed will suit the party and result In
Its victory in November. But the fact
cannot be blinked that some eminent
Democrats who attended the conven-
ton went away with grins of satisfac-
ton decorating their faces.
To go back to the beginning, some
thing must be said of the keynote
address by Chairman Lodge. 1t was
one Of the most scholarly efforts Of its
kind, and the great mass of the dele
gates, to say nothing OF the audience,
utterly failed to comprehend 1t. The
senator did not once descend to the
level of most of his hearers and con-
sequentIy he failed to arouse any
great measure of enthusiasm.
It was noticeable that his address as
well as every other speech and the
platform as well, devoted its denuncia-
tory pages not to the Democratic
party as usually the case, but to Presi-
dent Wilson. 1t was always his acts
and his policies that were condemned
and the language used in dealing
with him was scorching. OF course
the reason for this is that, from the
viewpoint of the Republicans, Mr.
Wilson has been the Democratic party
for the last seven years.
The first day found three candi-
dates In the forefront Of the race for
the nomination. And while the pre-
liminaries were completed their work
ers were straining every nerve to have
them make the best possible showing
on the first ballot. These men were
Governor Lowden Of Illinois, General
Wood and Senator Hiram Johnson OF
California. From their elaborate
headquarters In the hotels swarms OF
men and women flocked to the Coli
scum with banners and buttons and

votes OF their home states and few
more. OF the Wisconsin delegation, 2@
voted for IaFOllette; and 1t may a.
well be recorded here that those -
delegates kept voting for LaFOllette
to the bitter end, and every time the
announcement was greeted with
groans and Misses from the galleries.
In the following three ballots WOOD
climbed to 3141a, which the wise ones
said was about his maximum strength.
LOwden also increased his vote. going
up to 2S9, while johnson reached 1401a.
The vote for the dark horses did not
vary to any great extent though But
Ter lost steadily and Pritchard SOON
dropped out. BY this time everyons
was ready for a rest and the conven-
ton adjourned to Saturday morning.
The crowd filled the Coliseum to
suffocation on what was destined to
be the final day OF the convention. for
1t was felt that the conferences of the
preceding night would be fruitful. The
senatorial cOteria had been in session
many hours and the word was passed
around that they had picked on Hard
| ing as the nominee. In the early bal
lots of Saturday the ohiOan did not
gain rapidly, and all were waiting for
the moment when the big delegations
from New York, Pennsylvania and
Massachusetts would find the time
ripe for a break The men from the
Keystone state had been voting almost
solidly for Sproul, for the bosses were
not decided between him and Harding.
And the New Workers really did not
know to whom to throw their strength.
JOhnson's vote dwindled gradually
and then the Lowden column suddenly
began to 60 to pieces. He was really
the victim Of the shift, for the Wood
delegations stood by the general almost
to the last moment. On the ninth bal
lot 1t was seen that Harding could be
put across" so the uncertain ones
climbed into the band wagon on the
tenth and gave the Ohio senator a
grand total of 6745k. which was 1914
more than necessary to nominate.
The hubbub was deafening and after
Pennsylvania put go votes in the Hard
ing column the clerks could scarcely
complete the roll call. At its finish
the usual motion to make the choice
unanimous was made but those "a La
Toilette men from Wisconsin voted in
the negative and marred the love feast.
There still remained the task of Sc
lecting vice presidential candidate.
Senator Lenroot Of Wisconsin, Cover
nor Allen Of Kansas, Governor Cool
idge of Massachusetts, and Col. Harry
Anderson of Virginia were placed in
nomination and the roll Of the states
was called. Lenroot received good
vote, but Coolidge was the evident
favOrite and long before the roll was
completed his nomination was assured.

literature. Each of them was. certain
of victory-for public consumption
but each of them knew in his heart
that he could not win If the senatorial
bosses had their way. All the rest OF
the possible candidates really ranked
as dark horses. They included Her
bert Hoover, DR.. Nicholas Murray But
Ter of Columbia university, Gov. Calvin
Coolidge Of Massachusetts, Senator
Poindsxter Of washington, Senator
Howard Sutherland OF West Virginia,
Governor SpFoul Of Pennsylvania,
Senator Phiiander Knox Of Pennsyl-
vania and Senator LaTollette Of Wis
consin. A long enough list in all con-
science. E'rQm these dark horses, IL
was predicted, would emerge the win
ner. and the prOphesy was fulfilled.
It required three days to get
through with the preliminary work Of
the gathering and TO have the plat
form built, read and adopted. The
latter took place on Thursday. As
has been said tie resolutions met
with almost unanimous approval. A
young man from Milwaukee was the
only dissenting member Of the COM
mittee and he presented a minority re-
port that embodied many Of the poll
Giles advocated BY LaFollette. The
audience did not want 10 hear him
and he took advantage OF their Inn
patience to try TO place himself in the
position Of q martyr. but Chairman
Lodge cleverly forestalled this and the
i minority report was speedily dumped
into the waste basket.
| Friday was the day Of oratory. Men
who thought themselves, eloquent and
others who really were eloquent
mounted the speakers platform in
procession throughout most Of the day,
to place before the convention the
names and qualifications of the can.

among those who seconded the nomin-
atoms. and usually they acquitted
themselves much more to the salts.

ship. The governments authority to
deport and exclude undesirable aliens
was upheld, but assurance was given
that the rights of free speech, free
press and free assembly will not be
abridged.
A large number of minor topics were
handled in the platform, and then the
plank on Mexico. It dealt very se-
verely with President Wilson's policy
and pledged that the party will not
recognize any Mexican government
unless the lives and property Of
Americans are protected. Armenia
came next in the list Of planks. Deep
sympathy was expressed for the Ar
menians, but the president was con-
demned for asking for authority to
accept an Armenian mandate and II
waa added that the Republican party
was unalterably against the acceptance
Of a mandate for any country in
Europe or Asia.

Though William Jennings Bryan was
present throughout the entire life Of
the convention with the avowed pur
pose Of persuading the Republicans t
insert "dry" plank in their platform
he failed, possibly because the timel,
decision OF the supreme court seemed
to render unnecessary any explicit
declaration. The convention merely
declared that all laws should be en-
forced and let 1t so at that.

utlve budget and condemnation of the
presidential veto that defeated this
financial reform was coupled with
caustic characterization Of the manner
in which the president, according to
the Republicans, clings to his war time
powers. Revision of taxation also is
demanded.
Coming to the great iss.'e Of the
high cost of living, the committee drew
up declaration to the effect that the
present conditions are the result Of an
initiation of the currency and of credit
which the party pledges itself to cor
rect by deflation, the prevention Of
unreasonable profits and the stimula-
ton of private thrift by a change in
the income tax law. The party re-
affirmed It's belief in the protective
tariff and pledged the encouragement
of an American merchant marine by
the application OF the workman's COM
penSation act and the exemption from
canal tolls Of the merchant marine.
Profiteering was condemned, govern
ment ownership Of railways opposed,
waterways encouraged and the regula-
ton of industry and commerce prom
ised in order to prevent monopolies.
Resumption Of trade relations with
every nation with which America is at
peace was pledged. No changes were
promised In the existing immigration
laws, but the lettering of naturaliza-
ton laws was pledged and the party
went on record as favoring policy

The Ukrainian federation appears
not to have been born under the luck
lest Of stars. 1t seems that before the
Federation overcomes one difficulty,
second obstacle has arisen, and it is
hard to fny whether bad luck or bad
administration ought to be blamed.
In the first place there was the
trouble with the Joint Distribution
Committee, which was not willing to
approve all the commissioners which
the Federation had nominated. Lucki-
ly. with tht assistance OF one Of the

hundred per cent" Americans, that
"Red" is not a Jewish color. Among
the 249 deported, there are only Is
Jewish names, and 1t may be expected
that in the next groups to be sent out,
the percent will be still less. However,
the English press stuck to its old stand
by, that where there are "Reds,"
there are Jews, and those papers
which printed Photographic Of the de-
portees, presented none except photo
graphs Of Jews, so that the general
impression was that this was nothing
more than a Jewish affair.

commissioners who happened to be in
Washington, the Federation secured
passports for two commissioners. The
Federation took to advertising this
great triumph far and wide, and to
making use Of it for propaganda pur-
poses. Some money was provided for
the expenses Of the commission, when
along came the irate Secretary Of
State, Lansing, and informed the jew
ish deputation, that no commission
may now be sent to the Ukraine. He
gave as reason the statement that the
American government cannot guaran-
tee the safety Of the commission.
Now it is learned that a small COM
nittee has been formed Of prominent
Ukrainians who are dissatisfied with
the entire management Of the Feder-
alton, and which is demanding that
the Federation call conference Of all
the Jewish organizations in New York
in order to re-organize the admins
tration Of the Federation.
The truth Of the matter is that such
n step would be advisable and timely,
because the public is already begin
ming to wonder a little how II hap
pens that such prominent Ukrainian
Jews as Colonel Harry Cutler, Joseph
Barondess, DR.. A. Karolynk, and 9TH
ers are so aloof from the Federation.
It is to be hoped that the conven-
tion will be called forthwith, in view
Of the incontestible Importance at the
present moment Of Federation Of
Ukrainian Jews. Such a Federation
must, however have the confidence Of
all Ukrainian organizations and in
stitutions, and its administration must
be determined by the most prominent
Ukrainlan Jews.

which the -Zionists are prcpar-
ing to issue. has already secured an
