lurking spirit of enthusiasm The flag unured when

The Washington times., 1920-06-29

When a large size picture or the
President was unveiled the conven-
tion had it's first opportunity to vent
it's feelings. The demonstration last
ed for some twenty minutes, during
which the delegates marched through
the aisles carrying the standard of
the States and crying Justify. The
applause was renewed when Tempo
rary Chairman Cummings referred to
the President and the treaty.
Mr.. Cummings speech was well re-
ceived and It embodied, as such
speech should, review OF Democratic
achievements-nota a complete review,
for singularly II omitted all reference
to prohibition-the greatest achieve
ment to which our party can lay
claim.

1t would seem impossible, were it
not usually true, that any Democrat
large enough to be considered for a
keynote speech could be terrorized
into silence by the friends of the
saloon, even after the liquor traffic
has been barred by the Constitutional
amendment and that amendment en-
forced by criminal laws sustained in
every respect by the Supreme Court

think that the question should be

When did a corpse heretofore po-

avoidance of the subject is due to
political expediency what an indict-
ment against the defenders of the
home that their zeal should so lit
tie impress politicians. But Chair
man Cummings halls from one of the
three States that failed to ratify,
and a recent convention in his State
declared for wine and beer. He may
have thoughtlessly mistaken this for
State convention. The delegates
from the remaining forty-five states
may repair the harm he has done by
adopting a dry plank congratulating
the party on its honorable part in
this great. moral victory.

POLICE SAYHE
POISONED WIFE.
Undertaker's Aide Said to Have
Confessed Administering
Dose Of Strychnine.

BENNINGTON. VT. June 29.-It was
decided at a preliminary hearing here
yesterday that Byron NJ. Pettibone.
an undertskers assistant will be
tried during the week OF July for
numbering his wife. While the pros
ecution asserts IL has corroborative
evidence, IL rests Its case mainly upon
an alleged confession by Pettibone
In which he is declared TO have ad-
mitted that he gave his wife strych-
nine sulphide on the night OF April
q, concealed in a dose Of salts.
Mrs. Pettibone. who was sixteen
years older than her husband. went
to bed on the night OF her death ap-
parently in good health, was taken
III and died in less than half an
hour. The attending physician re-
fused to sign a death certificate. An
autopsy disclosed strychnine In the
dead woman's stomach.
Prosecuting officers have stated
that the only motive given by Petit
bone in his alleged confession was
that he was worried over the pay
ments on a $1,000 house which no
and his wife had recently bought.
Miss Helen Irene Guillow. trained
nurse with whom he became ac-
quainted while removing bodies from
the hospital here, is under 81 900 bond
az material witness. The under
takers assistant and the nurse were
80 much in each others company i'm
mediately following Mrs. Pettibone's
death that the young woman was
asked to resign.
Pettibone underwent an operatioA
for the removal of tonsils at the Troy
City Hospital. and Miss Guillow was
employed as special nurse. While re-
cuperating from the operation, Petit
bone remained at Miss C"i''~'". Ho-re
in the adjoining town of Shaftsbury.
VT, and came directly To a.. ..,S-
ton on the day he was subjected to
the long grilling which is alleged TO
have resulted in his confession, which
includes the method he adopted to
steal the bottle of strychnine from .
Bennington drug store.
While the investigation was in
progress. Miss Guillow. who is a ma
tive OF Hoosick and who graduated
from the Albany City Hospital Train
ing School for Nurses, was kept un-
der close surveillance. as the prose-
cutting officers believed that she was
implicated in the alleged crime. The
trial will be held in the superior
court at Manchester.

with the employer, one from the
classes supposed to be in sympathy
with the employe. and the thlrd Sc
lected with view to finding per
son as nearly impartial as possible.
This commission should have author
ity to Investigate an industrial dis
pute at the request of either side or
upon it's own initiative.
In each dispute two members would
be chosen by each side, in order
that each side might be sure to
have a representative on the COM
mittee. A little time would be
allowed for investigating. The re-
port of the commission wouldn't be
binding on either side. but would be
a guide of public opinion.
Such a commission would not make
strikes impossible, but the fact that
such an investigation could be made
would go far toward compelling con-
ciliation, and the establishment or
such a means of adjusting disputes
would reduce to a minimum the IN
fiuence of prejudice, just as peace
full means of settling international
disputes is calculated to lessen the
partisan propaganda that in itself IN
creases the probability Of conflict

and vet it is the public that furnishes
the money for both employer and en-
ployes.
The need for some such plan was
forcibly emphasized last fall when a
strike threatened to close the coal
mines just before the beginning of
winter. The mine workers numbered
between 100000 and 100000, and the
number of stockholders in the mines
could not have amounted to many
hundred thousand. The most extrava-
giant estimate would not put the num-
Der of indirectly interested in both
sides at more than a million. Count

than FIVE million men, women. and

"You believe In going on with the

Then tell me: Do you ever know
OF Woodrow Wilson sticking with the
organization In all his life?"
II don't know" replied Cosgrove.

big. too much a humanitarian TO be
bound by a machine. He Is a friend
Of humanity"
Reed himself did not attend the
hearing. leaving his friends the task
OF looking after his interest.
The Smith hWatson-Palmer case
was more easily disposed OF than was
the Reed contest.
HARDWiCK TO INSURGENTS.
The insurgents were represented by
ex-senator Thomas Ii. Hardwick. OF
Georgia, and by Col. II. IL. Perry, OF
Gainesville. They presented the facts
OF the three cornered Georgia primary
to the committee, stressing the fact
that the Palmer delegation represent
ed but on-third of the Democratic
voters OF Georgia. while the Smith
Watson combination had received the
vote OF two-thirds.
DRAWS MANY LACGHs
The Palmer delegation was re-
presented by Albert Howell. of At
lanta, and by II. IL. Dean, of Gaines.
Vile. They declared that Georgia
laws gave Mr.. Palmer the right to
send a delegation to the convention
as he had polled a slight plurality
over both Smith and Watson in the
primary.
Dean drew many laughs from the
committee by comparing the case to
q three handed poker game. Palmer
he said. had shown down a pair OF
aces, Watson a pair of kings, and
Smith a pair of jacks. By all the
laws Of Hoyle, he declared, Palmer
was the winner, but after the show

IL is declared by the Cox men, un-
hesitatingly. that nothing could in

gage with Palmer. The wet issue
may not get into the platform, but
the wet issue got into the candidacy
controversy. for IL was booze which
wagged the scandal tongue with
boomerang result, according to lobby
gossip.
IT'S ANY MANS GUESS.
If Cox does not show heavily in
the balloting, say on the fifth or sixth
turn OF the wheel, which many ex-
pect he may, and II McAdoo's peculiar
is not on the wing of sue
cess by that time, the stable door is
pretty sure to open and the brunette
steed trot forth. Ambassador Davis
must not be lost to view in this cal
culation. But it's any mans guess.
Secretary OF Agriculture Meredith
is still much discussed as Vice Presi-
Dental material.
Opponents of McAdoo were going
strong today in their talk concerning
"Crown Prince" Wilson dynasty,
"A Administration steam-roller." son
in-law heritance," and similar argu-
ments on the negative side, causing
the faithful Treasury band to spit
fre in the hotel lobbies or wherever
they were wont to gather.

Old convention campaigners say
this is one of the most comfortable so
far as arrangements, acoustics and

been held. Notable among the hun
dreds OF correspondents gathered
from the four quarters OF the coun-
try are a number of women represent

ems magazines.

For women are here for politics,
not to supply emotional thrills to that
particular kind of editorial sanctum,
and they have very definite ideas, far
removed from sob stuff AMI lovely
distractions. Nothing more fiercely
downright and concrete than wom-
an bent on political action has ever

sooner had the women adopted a reso-
luton OF thanks to Governor Roberts
of Tennessee for calling special
convention in order to urge ratifica-

the women OF eight States will lose

action is taken. Once we would have
been content with the mere announce

No-everything except politics is ad-
