A THOUGHT FOR CHRISTMAS.

Time has healed most of the
wounds of the war. In the United
States the scars have almost vanish
ed. But in Central and Eastern Eur
ope great open war wound remains.
Its sufferers are little chidren-chil-
dren of war Allies and war enemies,
Catholic and Protestant, Jew and Cen
tilC-but all too young to have had a
part in making the circumstances of
which they are now the helpless vic
Tins.

them who will die or suffe- perma-
nent injury through the stunning of
mind and body from the effects of I'M
derfeeding unless America continues
its great se'f-imposed charity of r,o o.
v'ding them with supplementary food
and necessary medicines.
In order 20 save these children,
eight great American organizations
have banded together as the Erro-
pean Relief Council and have anDeal-

than spend the long winter in the ex-

journey back to the North in June,

As matter of fact, Harding was the
choice of Senator Penrose many months
ago as revealed in statement from the
Pennsylvania senator today.
"We must kill off one at time"
was the word as heard from the Pen
rose headquarters before Wood, Lowden
and Johnson were eliminated and the
process by which that was done was
super'strategy itself. First inroads
were made in the Wood delegations
where instructions for Wood had been
given in the primaries but where the
delegates were faithful members of the
Republican organization of many years
experience in balloting conventions. 1t
was recognized that Wood must be;
equalled and passed. This was done,
too, and in the meantime delegates were
quietly taken from Johnson and the
whole convention showed a fatigue that
made all want to end the deadlock with
anybody rather than somebody. The
suggestion of Harding was backed by a
recollection of the splendid nomination
speech made by Governor Willis of Ohio,
who pointed out that New York and
Pennsylvania and the other eastern
states were safe, but that Ohio had gone
Democratic in 1912 and 1916. This, he
argued, should mean summons for
Harding, who had carried the state when
he ran for senator in 1914 by an over
whelming majority. The Democrats NAV
be impressed by the Ohio argument, too,
as Governor Cox has three times been
elected on the Democratic ticket in Ohio.
Certainly the selection of Harding would
seem to insure Cox place on the ticket
lie says he will not run for vice -presi
dent, but that's what all contenders for
first place say. If poll of persons at
the Republican convention were taken
it would probably show prediction that
McAdoo will be the Democratic nominee
references were made to him in the
nominating speeches. The selection .ot
Coolidge for vice president was clever
move for while labor doesn't like hin
for his attitude in the police strike il
Boston and the Democrats would ap
peal through McAdoo for the labor vote
1T must not be forgotten that Presiden
/ Wilson himself sent a message of con
lgratulations to Governor Coolidge on til,
day of his election-and Republican
orators will make skillful use of tha
message.
Harding and Coolidge is a good, old
fashioned Republican ticket, but that
what this convention wanted and that
what most of the delegates think tn,
people want. Back to the good ole

C. O. p. TO RAISE
DOLLAR" FUND
Chairman Hays Will Ask for $1,000
900 From 100000 People
$1,000 the Limit.

CHICAGO, June Irrational Chair
man Will Hays will gather campaign
fund which will not place the Republi-
can party in the position of having to
favor any interests or any rich man. The
plan, which is already in operation, repre-
sents the chairnan's determination to
clean up politics SO far as his party is
concerned.
To begin with, the preliminary expenses
OF the natione! committee, the convention
cost and other outgoes have been paid
for out of contributions which average
from 1925 to $3.50 an individual contribu-
tor, and there is handsome sum left IN
the national committees bank account.
The remarkable fact about this money IS
that so per cent, of it was given by men
and women that had never before given
dollar to the Republican cause. Some
of the money comes from southern states
and a good deal of it is credited to the
border states
No contribution of more than $1,000 will
be accepted from anybody. That Is Hat
The belief amounts to a certainty that
sufficient funds can be obtained by this
method to finance the campaign. More
over. the books of the national committee
will be wide open. Anybody who wants
tn find out where the Republican organl
cation Is getting it's money may have ac
cess to the records. 1t is probable that
they will be volunteered to the public
in the shape of statements, sworn to be
fore notaries public, from time to time.
Early in August there will be call 10
81 contributions A drive organized ex
actly as the successful popular Red eros
appeals were made will be started tn
country over to raise s2,Oo0,OOO IN 81 con
tributions. Chairman Hays and Wee
Chairman William Boyce Thompson ar
now working out the details OF TIN
popular appeal and they see dayligh
straight through it. They merely NEE
requests that have poured into the nat
ional committee from every section, tn
South by no means excepted.

ceived. The program opened with a
professional, the children marching into
the church from the Sunday school
rooms. Different departments had a
part, and many of the pupils were in
costume, representing children of for
eign lands without Sunday school priv
ileges. Five children were baptized
and Bibles were presented to IL chill

this church. Another pupil received a

SAYS THERE LII BE NO SPLIT
Senator I,enroot Does Not Believe
Hearst Stories About La Toilette.

CHICAGO, June IA. = Although the
Hearst newspapers and the Hearst lieu
tenants dropped like a hot cake their
cry of tJohnson must be nominated or
there will be a third party" rumors of
some sort of a radical drive to be
backed by Hearst persisted last night.
The latest of the kind. vaguely
was that Robert NJ. La Toilette
will lead the general insurrection
against the Republican and Democratic
parties, with the backing of several va
rieties of the disseminated.
Doubtless this rumor was based upon
the action taken by Edwin j. Gross of
Milwaukee, La Folette's spokesman in
the convention. Saturday, when he de
family voted "A of Wisconsin s % for
La Toilette to the end, and declined to
join in the reclamation for Harding.
Senator Lenroot says, however, that
talk of La Toilette leading split is
absurd, that there will be no split, and
| that Wisconsin will be found in the
Republican electoral column. Other Re
publican leaders heavily discount tht
