Treaty Issue Befuddled.
Much of the concern over the
prospect of Senator Boies Penrose
coming to the convention traces to
the desire of the leaders here as
sembled for some voice of authority.
Many of the State leaders would
prefer to know what Penrose

over the supposed effort to steal his
delegates after they shall have voted
for him long enough to discharge
legal obligatiors under State pri-
mary laws is not consistent with the
facts in the case. The party organ
ization is no more eager to have
Maj. Gen. Leonard Wood chosen for
the standard bearer than II is to
yield to the Johnson leadership.
Most of the half-hearted delegates
on the Johnson list are for Wood.
1t is the purpose of the Old Guard
group to have them stick to johnson
as long as possible instead of flop
ping to Wood. in order to keep the
convention divided until some sort
of agreement upon one man-most
likely a dark horse-has been ef-
fected.
johnson Is Pleased.
The plain fact of the situation is
that Senator Johnson realizes the
confused state of affairs. and is pre-
pared to make the most of ii. He
is posing as the champion of Amer

that the greater issue of condemn

Philip p. Campbell of Kansas pro-
posed q special rule for the con-
sideration OF resolution. There
was no quorum present. conse-
quently the House could not recess.
The time remaining before the
hour set for the recess was just
enough for a roll call. The men,
bers of the House consequently
filed out of the chamber while the
Speaker maintained his place In the
chair until the time for the recess
had arrived.
The proverbial sectionalism of the
House Is very apparent in the night
over the conference report on the
Jones shipping bill. The measure
is being sponsored on the floor oi
the House by Representative George
w. Edmonds, of Philadelphia, mem
ber of the House Merchant Marine
Committee. The strongest objection
to the bill. which has already forced
the bill back into conference twice
is coming from INLAND Democrats
One OF their points OF attack has
been the provision In the bill CIV

the development of their industry.

All the news from Chtcago' OF
dark horse" possibilities has en-
several men in whose minds
alone the Presidential bee has been
buzzing to renewed efforts. WASH
ington newspaper correspondents
were circularized today with,a three
column article discussing from ev-
cry angle the splendid availability
of Senator Lenroot. of wisconsin. as
the Presidential dark horse" that
would be certain to lead the Demo-
Gratis out Of the wilderness.
During one of the recent sessions
of the Senate committee investi-
eating campaign expenditures. pro-
ceedings were delayed because SEN
ator James A. Reed. of Missouri. had
u toothache and was forced to go
to see his dentist. The Senator from
Missouri has a rather savage way
with a witness that resembles the
third degree methods of criminal
lawyer, and this caused one of his
associates to remark that 1t was
lucky for the witness that Senator
Reed did not attempt to cross ex-
anime while the aching molar was
still in active eruption.
The closing hour of Congress
serves one purpose at least; II Is
keeping the members of Congress
upon the floor. During the rest of
the session it is the exception
rather than the rule to find more
than one-fifth of the members In
their seats. AS time-gets short,
however, they come a-running IN
an effort to get the chairs atten-
tion in order to press the especial
legislative pets that are still hang

Men and Business
By RICHARD SPILLANE.

As an economic measure a bill
has been introduced into parliame
in London to register the names of
the fathers of children born out of
wedlock and endeavor to compel
the male parent to provide for the
child.
The bill passed its second reading
by an overwhelming vote. although
many of those who supported it
criticized some of it's features, and
insisted upon correction in commit
tee. They feared the bill as drafted
left too many loopholes for black
mail and, in some respects, was too
drastic, but in its general purpose
they were for il. despite the fact
the government opposed 1t.
Vital statistics show that of an
average of $4,000 illegitimate chill
dren born in Great Britain annually
10000 die in the first year. OF the
legitimate children born the ratio or
death in the first year is only one
half so great.
The reason for the high mortality
of illegitimate children is obvious,
the chief cause being inability of
care and attention bestowed upon
the child born in wedlock.
Apparently the British, aside
from the great injustice done TO
innocent children under the exist
ing system, feel that the nation
after the great human loss in the
war period, cannot afford the sacri-
flee of life the present disregard OF
the babe of unmarried parents en-
tails.
Illegitimacy is a great handicap,
but some rise above it. The man
whose influence next to Washington
was greatest in the early days of
| the republic and whose name is
held in reverence bore the bar sim
lister.
In Great Britain ESQ newspapers
and periodicals raised their prices
in the first four months of this
year. Now the Manchester Guard
ian makes the 2S1st. 1t has gone
to "tuppence"-4 cents-a copy.
Since January, 1919. the cost of
paper has nearly doubled in Great
Britain, as it has in the United
States and all the rest of the
world. The price of ink has ad-
vanced even more than that of pa
per. Wages have gone higher pro-
portionately than material.
The woes of the publisher the
world over are many these parlous
times.

A. Ferguson. Ferguson admits he
is not a prohibitionist. but says he
believes in keeping the law. he
also says it keeps out a lot of

not serve.
Ferguson says he believes liquor
should not be sold at drug stores
for any purpose. The present loop
hole which allows a druggist to sell
liquor for medicinal purposes, he
says. Is too hig a temptation for
many druggists.
