MR.. TAETs uNLUCKY GOOD HABIT.

THERE is no evidence that when the Rev. J.
Edgar Park wrote his clever essay on ''The
Bad Results of Good Habits" he had in mind the
q special case Of our only living ex+President,
y Time and the course of events alone appear to
justify an individual application of this titular re-
Election.
To Mr.. Taft there evidently is native what In most
men would be the good habit of taking the better
and broader view Of affairs; of putting the best
face" on matters of immediate concern and, pos
siby, of uncertain issue. And more than once or
twice uncomfortable consequences have followed the
crossing of his kindly custom with the demands of
party prefering, for platform purposes, jugglery
to clear judgments.
At this moment Mr. Taft is in the position of
having allowed the lgh' of his mind so TO shine upon
the treaty plank adopted at Chicago as to reveal
what an ANXIOUS and compromising leadership does
not care to submit to illumination.
In his act of Interpretation the former Executive
is true to his own course and convictions concerning
the League of Nations. He is inspired by real de-
sire to have his party show itself as honest as himself
But in the face of his fair intent the opposition
SCOTS and his own side scolds Even the candl-
dates own organ of Marion O., opinion takes an
editorial hot shot at what it plainly regards as an
intrusion upon the privileges Of compromise.
Mr.. Taft has invited this visitation Of wrath from
his party colleagues
He shows too plainly that he learned nothing from
the Roosevellan rebuke of 1912 about the perls Of
an un-Republcan way of being right
There is every reason to believe that to the end
Of his political days he will continue to accumulate
the bad results of the good habit Of taking the
larger, more hazardous view Of party enterprise.

A SOUND AMERICAN MAY.

7 Asst week the members Of Brooklyn congrega-
l. ton undertook to beat the high cost of paint
ing the church edlfice by doing the job themselves.
Many hands made the task short Before sun
down the job was done. In the evening, mothers,
sisters and wives spread dinner for the willing
workers.
On Sunday the congregation noted with approval
the results Of their handiwork.
Somehow the feeling comes that the improved
appearance Of the church was one of the least of
the benefits from the Saturday afternoon painting
bee" staged by the Grace Reformed Church.
Unless the Grace Reformed Church was vastly
z different from most city churches the services were
more or less formal affairs in which the congregation
participated in their Sunday best and with Sunday
manners. PehaDs the pastor knew the names of

And take your turn at making stir,
While those Of us who went before

WHERE IS THE POWER

w AO 4 IL 4 ~ w LINZ
7 ORD BRYCE says an eminent American told
l. him twelve years ago that the two great
parties in the United States-Republcan and Demo
cratc-were like two bottles:
"Each bore label denoting the kind Of liquor it
contained, but each was empty"
We doubt if either platform or candidate put
forth by the 1920 Republican National Convention
at Chicago has gone far to persuade Lord Bryce
that his American nfomant's twelve-year-old esti-
mate is out of date.
On the other hand, there is the possibility that
when the Democratic Party convenes at San Fran
cisco next week some stirring realization of its op-
portunity some qhckening impulse worthy Of its
past, may start new and vibrant chapter in party
history.
We wonder if professional politicians are capable
Of seeing how many American voters of both parties
are just now ready and eager for such chapter.
Party organization and party leadership are neoes-
sary.
But without freshening Of party principles and
party convictions, without party initiative to raise
new issues and fight for them, party organization
and party leadership become the mere functionng Of
well-oiled machinery modifying party votes for
periodical contests over party power and patronage.
Experts who work the machinery are the first to
lose sight of the need of more than the machinery.
If left to themselves, after preliminary wranglngs,
they plane all platform planks to meaningless
smoothness. They eliminate edges that offend any
faction. They select candidate who fits into party
plans and purposes. Issues are valuable to them
only as they discfedit opponents. NJ o.
Once their own quarels are patched up, plenty
Of smoothing, plenty of oil, plenty Of well-rounded
phrases that pass for principles, are all they ask for
campaign :
They rely on The party loyalty of voters to do the
rest.
These were the type of party experts who ran the
Chicago Convention The results are before the
country.
What party managers forget is that time comes
when the hum of party machinery, the beating of
party tom-toms and the usual denunciation Of all
the other party has done no longer satisfy growing
number of voters who demand something substan-
tal, constructive, notwithstanding that drives
straight into current questions instead of crclng
them.
To many intelligent observers of party politics
in the United States it seems that such time HAS
come.
At the present moment the country faces the
largest international issue that has ever challenged
the progressive rstnct-to say nothing Of the honor
and good faith-of the American people
Domestic problems also, of far-reaching recon
structive importance, are waiting to be solved.
There is enough of the "old American" left II
millions of voters to respond at such moment witt
old-ime enthusiasm to an appeal from party tina
dared TO declare for downright straightaway poll
-clean-worded, definite and bold
Americans used to admire that kind of part,
courage and rally to It.

commencement" II Beginning.
To the Editor Of Tue Evening World;
AN Everyday Reader asks why
we use commencement" when we
mean a Finishing" and bride" when
We mean "wife?"
The dictionary meaning OF "com-
mencement" Is a beginning" Grad
uation implies the completion OF a
course of study. If we take the mean
ing implied in both these words,
commencement" would mean the
end OF a course of study and the be-
ginning OF a new task. AS we know,
graduation means. TO most college
men, the beginning OF their struggle
in the business or the professional
world. 1t is the beginning or "com-
mencement" OF their success or fall
ure.
The term bride" Is applied to a
woman only on her marriage day. II
he means that woman is called a
''bride" a week or two after she has
been married, think IL is a mistaken
use of the word. In such a case, the
woman should be called a WIFE," not
O bride" JOS. II.
