The Convention of 1916

The outcome of the democratic Ma tional Convention of 1916 was fore gone cocnlusion months spefore the dei- gates assembled in St. Louis on June 14. President Wilson was in complete command of the situation. EK-Gev- ernor Martin Glynn of New York was temporary chairman.
 The arrival of Secretary of War Baker, as President Wilson's personal representative-the night before the nvention-promptly established a harmony program: CD because Sec retary Baker brought the news that President Wilson desired Vice Presi- dent Marshall renominated; CD be- cause Baker effectually disposed of a vice presidential boom which had been launched in his own bahalf;. and ev- eFything was ready for sure and amicable action.
 Governor Glynn's opening address was trenmepdeus eulogy of President Wilson and his policy of maintaining he United States in World War neu- trality. Senator James of Kentucky as permanent chairman, followed with an eqaully growing apestrephe to Will sons attitude in foreign affairs, At the end of the second day the track was cleared for nominations and Pres

RAILWAY WAGES.

Interest will attach to the result that s obtained from the telegram that has Seen forwarded to the chairman of the railroad labor board by President Will son as the result of the request made by an official of the Brotherhood of Rail- way Trainmen
 IL has been maintained that some of he uneasiness in connection with the railroad employees has been due to the fact that the decision of the board re- ssrding the wage question has not been rendered before this time It is an un- reasonable position fer it is believed that whatever the decision of the board t will be retroactive so that the railroad men will lose nothing by what they con :ider 10 be 2 longer wait than they should be made to suffer.
 II is not to be expected that the rail road labor board will withhold their de- cision for any period longer than is act uailY necessary. There is nothing to show that such is the case now, but there is an element among the railroad men, who are probaAy waiting to refuse any award unless it corresponds with every- lining they ask, who are eRdeavoFing to
 
 sibly hoping by the course they are pur- suing 10 influence the decision in their behalf regardless of the facts in order to avoid what their unauthorized strikes plainly indicate.

Dandrufy Heads
 . Become Hairless

Y If you want plenty of thick, beauti- ful, glossy, silky hair, eo by all means get rid of dandruff, for it will stsrve your hair and ruin 1t If yeu don't.
 It doesn't do much good to try to brush or wash 1t out, The only sure way to get. rid of dandruH is to dis solve it, then you destroy it entirely. To do this, get about four ounces of ordinary liquid arVoR; apply it at night when retiring; use enough te moisten the scalp and rub it in gently l with the finger tips.
 By morning, most if net all, of your dandruff will be gene. and three or four more applications will com l pletely dissolve and entirely destroy every single sign and trace of it. You will find, too, that all itchina digging of the scalp will stop, and your hair will lock and feel a hundred times better. You can get liquid arven at any drug store, It is mex. nensive and four ounces is all yey will need, no matter how much dan- druff you have, This simple remedy l never fails.

SONGRESS PUTS
DLDIER BONUS
UP TO PARTIES
saders of Both Sides Agree
! TO Wait Action by Ma
tiOnaI Conventions.
NEW TAXATION FEARED

WASHINGTON. April THE question
Of a bonus for men who served In the
military and naval forces during the
world war will be settled at the national
political conventions.
Leaders of both parties in congress to-
day had agreed upon such a plan, and
there will be no definite action on bonus
legislation until after the conventions.
Republican Leader Mondell and Repre-
sentative Kitchin, a democratic leader,
are both known to favor such a course.
There is little likelihood of any cash
bonus legislation during the present ses-
sion Of congress until the national con-
ventions direct it, leaders admit.
In the bonus problem, members OF con
gress are facing one of the most delicate
political questions they have to solve.
RIVAL SIDES
OF PROBLEM.
Rejection OF the bonus legislation
might incur the dIsfavOr Of the soldier
vote
If a bonus is granted, it has been
agreed that the funds for the bonus must
be raised by direct taxation and addi-
tional taxation at this time would be
generally displeasing to the nation.
Five subcommittees OF the house com
mittee are working on the question OF
bonus legislation, but the action of these
committees is controlled by a main sub
committee, composed OF Chairman Ford
ney of Michigan. Representatives Long
worth Of Ohio and Green Of Iowa. re
publieans. and Kitchin of North Caro-
lima and Rainey of Illinois. democrats.
A careful canvass Of members Of con
gress shows that the preponderance OF
opinion is against a cash bonus at this
time. although few members are willing
20 make statements for publication 10
this effect.
There is an apparent desire to do some
thing for the service men. but the eject
Of new taxation is feared more than the
opposition of the soldier vote"

that a cash bonus would cause a great
slackening of the effort Of labor, which
would be injurious to the business inter
ests of the south.
This pressure is so great that the
southern delegation in congress would be
almost unanimously against a bonus now.
A bonus in the form of land grants
would solve the problem for congress,
and congress is willing to legislate for
such a bonus, but there is no strong de
mand for a land grant bonus from the
former service men.
