Wilson and the Convention.

Our Republican contemporaries evi-
IDENTIFY seek to misinform the public as
10 the situation at San Francisco by
slanting their news to fit such headings
as Wilson Has the Whip Hand or will
son Grips the Convention" or Wilson
Bosses the Convention"
There has never been the shadow OF
doubt that Wilson would control the
convention. The whole campaign was
made around Mr. Wilson and his record,
and the party is pledging itself to uphold
his course. Ii was therefore logical that
the convention should be guided by Will
sons intimate followers, by men who
stand with him solidly on the Treaty
and the League of Nations. The ad-
ministration and its record was the only
issue before the Democratic voters at the
primaries earlier in the year. and on that
issue the fight was made and won.
The President is the undisputed leader
Of his party and he is impressing his views
on the national delegates precisely as he
should. The Democratic party is grateful
for such leadership, and the fact that VIII
son is guiding his party gives Republicans
food for very serious contemplation
in a campaign that centres around the
record Of the President
The G.. o. P. is considerably surprised
and dismayed to discover its opponents to
Be % solidly united and to discover that
the heralded break in the party is un-
hkelv 10 materialize The foes OF the
President have been promptly singled and
have been shown to be without following
and, consequently. impotent. The con-
vention early drew Senator Reeds Ger
manophile fang and has intimated to Mr.
BRYAN that his council will be listened
10, but that ne is in no position to enforce
his views on the party.
No Democratic convention for years
has been so nearly unanimous on the
essentials of the policy to be declared IN
the platform. There are. of course, a few
dissenters. men with hobbies, seeking the
party spotlight, but they will not overawe
the majority by threats; the platform
will represent the full expression of the
party's views.
Under the guidance of the Presidents
friend. the convention will naturally
pick a candidate to fit the platform and
while Mr. McAdoo seems TO have the
strongest call there is no indication as to
who will be chosen, according to dispatch
es from the editor of Every Evening, who is
in San Francisco sending his survey OF the
situation by wire daily.
The earlier assertions that the Presi-
dent could have the nomination by simply
expressing a willingness TO run again is
fully confirmed. but there is not the least
chance OF Mr.. Wilson asserting TO head
the ticket
1t is interesting to note the difference
in the reports that come from San Fran
cisco, in comparison with those sent from
Chicago. There IS no charge of trying to
purchase the nomination, no threat of
bolting, no impugning the honesty of
rival candidates as was the case when
johnson was placed in nomination.
The gathering is tremendously en-
thusiastic and everything augurs well for
the victory of democracy at the polls in
November as Mr.. Taylor has noted in
his dispatches to this paper.

Every Evening has withheld for a long

Every Evening has withheld for long
time publicly entering complaints
against the Philadelphia and Wilmington
Traction Company's failure to give the
city satisfying transportation or electric
power and lighting service. In neither
branch of its undertaking does il render q
service that approaches what our people
have a right to demand. and for which
they pay generously Its light and power
service is most inefficient.
The management of the railway com
panies is open TO the same charges OF IN
efficiency While the company has had
one or two advances in fares, there has
been improvement neither in the service
nor in the comfort offered by the cars,
most of which are obsolete and like the
lone hose shay" of fiction seem ready TO
collapse and all at once disappear.
The people here have not objected TO
paying the increased fare even with the
transfer rights curbed so as to make pas
sensers who are compelled TO use the lines
paw almost twenty per cent more, plus
great inconvenience, but they want and
demand decent, safe and prompt service,
timed to meet the needs of this big COM
munity.

The society reporter of the Work
house notes frequent functions for the
edifcation of the colony within the barred
gates, and at the present rate of progress
our citizens need not be surprised TO re-
ceive cards for lawn party in the early
dog days. The warden evidently believes
that if treated agreeably the guests will
eventually refuse to leave the institution.
Home ties probably are strong bond,
but Shakespeare recommended hooks of
steel as the better things to hold on with.

WILMINGTON IN THE CENSUS.

Wilmington takes a moro and more
important place in Delaware, as the first
returns for State in the 1920 census
show. Since 1890 the population of the
little city has grown from 81 ,43l TO no.
l68, while the population of the State
outside Wilmington, almost at a stand
still. has risen from lO7, ,O62 to 1l2,s35:
Two decades ago Wilmington contained
Al per cent Of the total population of the
State; now it contains almost so per cent.
IL Is only natural that in the years Of tho
Great War the city which contained the
largest powder plant in the world should
grow as mover before. But it is TO be
hoped that the actual decrease registered
IN Delaware's rural population is no
indication Of what the Western returns
wall show.--Ncw York Evening Post.

Suffragists have decided to picket
Harding during the time of formal no.
tihcation that he has been nominated
for the Presidency. The announcement
will tickle Wood and johnson as well as
Lowden and probably cause them TO re-
ioice that they were discarded by the
Chicago convention. With it's increasing
annoyances it will soon be seen the man
who is defeated for the Presidency will be
regarded as the real winner.

ART AND GAS.

On noble books, immortal tones.
I'd like TO make my bids-the
works of men whose bulging domes
wore number fourteen lids; | had
no schooling in my youth, and
now I'd like To store my mind with
chunks Of pregnant truth, set down
by seers of yore; such trenchant
works would surely please my
starving mind, | ween; but how can
man buy books like these, and still
buy gasoline? I'd like TO buy some
works of art to hang upon my walls,
some masterpieces, to impart a
lustre to the hall; where'er such
works of art you find, in frames
without a crack, you know there
is a cultured mind somewhere
around the shack. To own the
works of artist kings, my painting
soul aspires; but how can one buy
Rembrandt things, and still buy
rubber tires? For all the finer
things | yearn, and yearn for them
in vain; for all the money can
earn is spent on my old vain.

Still the Cities Grow.

Each batch of census reports given out
in Washington tells the same story-the
cities are continuing to grow IN population
at much more rapid rate than the rural
communities. What has become of the
back to the farm" movement, Of which
so much was being said year or so ago?
Did it fizzle out or is il merely that the
winter is not good time TO preach the
sweets of life on the farm2
More likely the cause is TO be found
in the fact that agriculture has become. in
small way but none the less decisively,
an occupation in which capital is required.
In spite of higher wages for farm labor
and increased costs Of production general
ly fertile land is worth more money today
probably than ever before. The farmer
has become business man, If not actually
capitalist. H keeps books, be studies
market quotations and he knows how
TO tell whether he is making profit or
just eking out an existence.
While farm profits are larger than in
other years, it seems that the very fact
Of their increase tends TO send farmers to
the cities. The sons and daughters want
to go to college, and when father becomes
prosperous he either sells or rents his
property and hies him to some big city
or TO the county town.
All this is regrettable-not that the
agriculturist makes money but that his
profits should cause him to give up pro-
ductive career merely to become one Of
the mad and maddening urban throng.

There is thought that the Democratic
Convention may not get through with its
task before the Fourth of July. 1t is
working with deliberation and there is
much work ahead yet, 80 perhaps the
nomination of the ticket may be made on
Independence Day. Nothing could be
more in keeping with the spirit of our
national birthday than the selection of
leaders to go into the fight to permit
America TO unite with other civilized
nations in the Wilson plan for the future
peace and liberty Of the world.

1t would seem that the foes Of President
Wilson were ill-informed when they de-

vass of their own party leaders.
