DEALING WITH REED.

whether the convention does anything ,lse or not there appears to be deter uination to see that Senator Reed of Missouri is not permitted to take his seat as a delegate in the democratic conven- .ion at San Francisco.
 Senator Reed has baked at the Wilson eadership. He has refused to be guided by the administration whip and he has not been backward in displaying his op- position or in voicing his opinions as a democrat in the senate. The result is that he doesn't stand we'll with the or ganization and being bothered by the ,act that he has been named as a dele sate and may insist upon saying some hing that would embarrass during the onvention strong arm methods are be- ng employed to keep him away from the onvention hall.
 The first move came when the state . ionvention tried to freeze him out as a district delegate by throwing out his ere lantials. The demand that his district iarns another in his stead was refused md he was again chosen as it's represen- ative. There thus appears to be noth- rF irregular in his choice. And it is his very fact that is giving so much bother for t will mean that if the na- lionai committee or the committee or credentials refuses to seat him that any egally appointed delegate is liable to be denied his place in the convention.
 lt thus remains to be seen whether the Missouri state organization Is going to be permitted to say who shall or shall no represent a district in that state in tht convention not because the indiVidua aas displayed any lawless inclinations put because he has opposed certain lead ership and held to opinions of his own which in a democratic party would no Seem to be such a strange course
 , Reed may not be liked and it may TO trs possible to control him. but tha doesn't furnish sufficient ground for try ing to throw him out of the party or fo denying him his seat in the convention to which he has been duly elected

connection with the seating of conteeting delegates from Pennsylvania. In this grapple between Bryan and ahti-Bryan forces, the Bryanites were sustained by a twc-thirds vote of the convention.

HANDLING TURKEY.

If we are to judge from the reports coming from Europe Turkey will not be given longer than Saturday of this week
 in which to accept the terms of the peace
 treaty At last the fact seems to dawn
 that enough time has been lost already
 and that the situation needs adjustment
 at the earliest possible moment.
 IL cannot fail to be realized that there is more than. the present Turkish gov ernment to be considered for while it is with that government that the peace terms are being arranged, there is ris- ing up an opposition government under Mustapha Renal which threatens no end Of trouble to the arrangements that are about to be concluded.
 The adjustment of the Turkish situa- ton has not been an easy one for the allies to accomplish because of the di- vision of opinion and the conflicting in terests but it is apparent that there can be no encouragement allowed for the na- ! tionalists under any leadership for the purpose of that faction is of course to { get control of the Turkish government and then cast to the winds the agreement entered into by the present government. l Due recognition of the situation is. in- dicated by the decision of the allies rel ative to the Turkish treaty, and likewise l by the acceptance by the allies of the 1 offer of Greece to furnish an army i'm
 mediately for such use as may be re- quired in dealing with the situation,
 carrying out the treaty terms, protect | ing Constantinople and the Dardanelles and putting down the threatening atti-
 tude of the Turks under Mustapha Ke- nal.
 Greece is in a position to deal with 1 the situation quickly and effectively along with such assistance as the British
 and French can give with their maya
 vessels, and Greece is anxious to under
 take the task. Thus the giving of 8 free hand to Premier VeniZelos satis. hes the ambition of Greece and promise: to strengthen the position of that coun try in the future relative to it's claim.

 DEMOCRATIC CONVENTIONS Copyrighted by G. N, Adams Service
THE CONVENTION OF 1908.

The democratic national convention of 1908, which assembled at Denver on July ', was loyal to the leadership of William Jennings Bryan of Nebraska from first to last It gave him his third nomination for the presidency on single ballot at a5o o'clock in the morning of Friday, July 1o-although according to a mem dacions clock on the wall facing the platform it was still Thursday midnight. Such vas the reputed concession to superstition which sought to- avoid an unlucky. day. On this one ballot. Rryan's vote was s92 1-2. His only opponents
 were Judge George Gray of Delaware with s9 l-2 and Governor Johnson. of Minnesota with .4s. On motion of Mime sota, followed. by Delaware and Georgia (which had also been faithful to Gray) the nomination was made unanimous With similar ultimate unanimity. John ! ". Kern of Indiana was nominated for vice president by exclamation after three other prospective candidates had with l drawn. In this latter trio were Charles
 A. Towne (formerly of Minnesota but 1 then of New York), Archibald McNeill of Connecticut and Clark Howell of Georgia 1 The woods were full of ambitious vice ] presidential timber until after the presi- deatiai nomination was out of the way.
 At that point. Tong distance" confer | eace with MT. Bryan clarified the atmo- sphere.
 The temporary chairman was Theodore A. Bell of California. The permanent chairman was H. D. Clayton of Alabama

JOHNsoN's PLACE.

Mum is the word thus far from Hiram Johnson. He had gone back to Califor- mia to sit down on his porch and listen to what the waves have to say. He has nevertheless congratulated the republi- can nominee and he has also declared that he would not bolt. Under the cir cumstances it would therefore appear that there was only one sensible thing to do and that is to put forth his best eff forts for the election of Warren G. Hard ing and turn a cold shoulder to the in fiuence that is trying to push him into backing if not leading a third party.
 MT. Johnson knows that he had as great an opportunity as any candidate could ask for to get the nomination at the republican convention. There was a hard contest, 1t is true, but he was de- nied no privileges. He made his cam paign on his chosen lines and he failed to get the necessary number of delegates in favor of his choice. The speaker who nominated him didn't help his fight, but that was the fault of no one else, and following the early ballots it was evil dent that Senator Johnson was out of the running, not by the action of the steam
 rolder but because he could not muster sufficient votes
 Such being the case, with the. added fact that the platform was one which conformed to his ideas, there is only one course that he can consistently pursue There is not to be forgotten what l'l, effect was of the action in which he par l ticipated eight years ago. None has de plored more than the senator from Cali fornia the autocracy that was made pos
 sible because of the course followed thel and none should be better able to ap
 preciate now what is required to ent that than Senator Johnson,
 l We have had the example and result 1 of the man who could trust no one bu , himself. and certainly now it is not t l be expected that Hiram Johnson is go 1 ing to follow in such footsteps especial I ly after such action as the party conven
 tion has taken. Listening to the wave and sensible second thought should pu 1 Senator Johnson where he belongs sol

MORE UNJUsTIFIED STRIKING.

Additional disregard for the welfare of the people and an apparent willingness 10 increase the transportation difficulties from which they are suffering at the present time is indicated by the action Of the striking railroad employees Con ditions have to a considerable extent been made what they are because of the ac5icn of railroad employees, but regard less of the trouble that is being expert enced there are those who are disposed to add thereto by offering increased em- barrassment
 The trouble seems to be a continuance of that which was started some time ago by the outlaw strike in Chicago. That radical influences are still at work is likewise indicated. It is admitted that there is an effort to break away from the present organizations of railroad men and the movement toward the formation of one big union seems to be the outcome -sf opposition to the heads of the broth ,rhoods. whether justified or not. Ger .ainly the strikers, whatever their griev- tnce with brotherhood heads may be nave not hesitated to break agreements and disregard contracts.
 Regardless of the merits of the contro- rersy it is fully disclosed that those who 1ave gona out on a strike have no regard rratever for the situation in which they place the pubic by their acts. It is the same old attitude that has too CfteT 1.en manifested that it makes no differ -snce what happens to the public so lonl as sufficient attention can be attracted and trouble created to secure the de 1ands Trouble>within the brotherhood should not be made to place handicai upon those who are dependent upor transportation for food and fuel or up ,n industries which require it in ordei Q keep in operation.

GETTING FARM HELP.

There are sections of the country where they shut down shops and close stores that every possible bit of help can be secured in the harvest fields. There was never year when some such action was needed more than it is this year. There is need of help not only during the harvest periods but there is need of more help for all kinds of work In connection with the farm. and this is true of the small farmer as we'll as of those who go into the raising of crops on 2 large scale.
 With the idea of contributing as much as possible to the production of food stuifs efforts are being made in some sections Co secure at least part time as- sistance in farm work from the employees of industrial and mercantile establish nents. There are large possibilities from such assistance while other agencies are making strenuous efforts to recruit farm abor.
 There is always during the summer months a large number of high schoo and college students who are available for just such services as are required or the farms. It means more than spend. ing the day in a hammock. or course but there is no more healthful employ msnt than farm work and none better a. physical developer Through such en listments it should be possible to go g long way toward meeting the situation and it should be remembered that farm labor these days commands far better pay than 1t used to.
 But the call for farm labor meets the same difficulty that was experienced ir keeping labor on the farm. There are SC many oDportunities for better paying em

HARDING

 Tho nieture I had of Senator Harding a week ago is not the picture l have Of him, now that have come to know him better
 Following him all the way up from the farm through ~hildhoon, young man. hood seeing him as printer at the case after he had finished his education i; seeing him as the venturesome young ed- itor-owaer of small country newspaper daring to. put himself to the test in one of the most difficult of all. fields Of endeavor and winning success; seeing that small country newspaper grow un- der his wise and vigorous handling in to a prosperous and influential journal that has made him financially independ- ent; seeing him as senator in the leg isIature of Ohio seeing him as lieuten- ant governor of his state and then as United States senator from Ohio, and now as the candidate of the republican party for the presidency-the highest honor party can bestow on d man-all this spells something, means something, Men do not pick up records of this sort in the street They do not come by accident. There is merit in the man who achieves as Senator Harding has achieved
 Senator Harding is not a genius. If he were genius he wouldn't be level headed. Geniuses are never level headed He is, however, better than a genius for an administrative job, because he is prac- | tical man of common sense.
 So far Senator Harding has not startl- ed the world by anything he has done or said in, the United States senate. He has 1 made a fine record in that body as a 1 sound, safe man, who thinks we'll talks well, and has the courage of his convic- l tions. As a matter of fact. Senator ! Harding has taken quite as conspicuous | a place in the United States senate as ] any man well can take in his first tern 1 in that body. The senator who projects 1 himself into the foreground and essays 1 to be a leader and a maker of public 1 opinion in his first term, as rule talks l to empty benches and strews stumbling i blocks in his own path. An examination of Senator Harding: work in committee and on the floor ant 1 an examination of his speeches and gen. 1 eral bearing as a first term senator show 1 admirably in his favor.
 As q sound. clean, human man, Sen ator Harding, like Mckinley, looms large | We could welcome such a man in tn, White House again. With Harding a,
