to reach across this continent from ocean to ocean. The men in the
 trenches. in the reserves and in the training camps were the most capable.
 the most active and the most fit f~r
 civil pursuits, possessed by some thirty nations, engaged in the appalling con
 flict. These nations quickly turned
 away from the processes and purposes
 of peace, threw all their physical. all
 their economic and all their moral
 powers and resources into the most
 stupendous mortal combat of all time. The great war was in Europe. It eX- tended quickly 10 the continents of Asia. Of Africa. of Australia. of North
 America and of South America. Every great nation on earth was belligerent. Sometimes, in very truth. it seemed that western civilization. and eastern civilization as well. was being wiped
 out. There was doubt and discourage ment. but not yet despair, in the faces of stout hearted men and women everywhere. Then this world convul- sion subsided. The armistice was signed The stupendous conflict ended. And then the nations. and the men and women within the nations, began the reorganization of their af fairs. and Of a new world order: and began the organization of new, a higher. and even a better civilization than the one that has SO suddenly and l so Tuln1RSSiN been torn apart AAiA NilAt

union as unexpected as it was over Whelming.
 The scene was unparalleled in the memory Of the oldest convention ob- server.
 There was no feature lacking to draw the thousands from their sober business into a riot of feeling and the convention surrendered unconditional ly. Flooding silver light from the electric arcs high in the galleries bathed floor and platform in a strange appealing glow; the crash and clamor of the military bands. the great i'm pressive sweep of the arched roof of the auditorium. and always the solemn elation in the voice of the great organ tuned to the melodies of other days, were not to be resisted.
 Even before the convention was called to order before noon the hall was touched with the hint of what was to come. Hooters for Palmer and for Cox had come armed for great demon strations. There was no mistaking that The crowd expected it.

 Smith May Be RunninQ M ate

TO strengthen their program. the inside leaders hit upon plan to take Governor Smith of New York as a rum ming mate for the candidate they hope to ultimately select. despite the notice which w. Bourke CockEan gave to the convention today that New ork would accept no second place for the gov ernor. It was no secret that the Tam many delegation came to san ffan- cisco with no intention of holding to Smith for very many ballots, and as for the breaking up of the unit rule, many delegates were expected to go eventually to Cox or Edwards. Rather than push Smith too hard, the plan of the Tammany managers, II Is said. was to run him again for governor Of New York and then hold him in reserve for the candidate for mayor of New York after second term at Albany.
 The demonstration which swept the convention today after he had been placed in nomination byR w. Bourke Cochran was not on account wholly for Smiths nominatioa. Nevertheless. it served the purpose of putting the convention in a very happy and fr-end- ly mind toward the New York gov ernor and there were possibilities of its being capitalized in the situation suddenly presented when the party leaders decided to make an effort to beat McAdOo.

June 30-Lifted out of itself by hours of oratory old songs that tugged at the heart strings and the throbbing appeal of a mighty pipe organ, the Democratic national convention brought nomination day to d tremendous emotional crisis that had nothing to do with candidates or plat form issues.

DELAY TO SUFFRAGE
Sougth BY Maryland In Injunction
Proceedings.
Would Restrain Proclamation Until
Validity of Amendment Is Passed
On BY Court.

Washington.-Acti of the Mary
land Legislature in directing the at
tOrney general to seek before the SUI
preme court an injunction restraining
the secretary of state of the United
States from proclaiming the federal
ratified by SO states. until its validity

tiOnal Association Opposed to Woman
Suffrage to be a novel step in Amer
lean legal procedure which might af-
feet the presidential election in No
vember
Miss Mary G. Kilbreth, president of
the association, said Marylands action
meant that for the first time the valid
ity of proposed constitutional amend
ment would be passed on by the courts
before it was made a part Of the ma
tons fundamental law, instead of
after, in which it is strikingly different
from the prohibition amendment,
which is in effect while being con-
tested in the Supreme court
IF the suffrage amendment were
proclaimed on mere official notices as
the State department recently in
formed our association it might dc"
Miss Kilbreth said, the entire presi-
Dental election might be thrown into
the courts on account of the doubtful
legality of ratification in various re-
ferendum states and others where the
legality is being contested.
The resolution authorizes not only
an injunction to prevent proclamation,
but also seeks to take up the entire
questions of validity from the power
OF Congress to submit such All amend
ment to the right of a legislature to
ratify it without the consent OF the
people
While the action of Mississippi and
Delaware proves that there is no i'm
mediate danger of So states being
counted for the amendment, Maryland
now has erected stone wall of de-
tense against federalized woman suf-

MALEKULAf!S NOT ALL BAD
Pugnacious South Pacific islanders
Scrupuiously Honest, Though
Careless of Human Lie.

The sending of a small naval force
rides, for the protection of planters
against the natives brings some Incl
dental information about peculiar
people with the undesirable fame of
being the most bellicoSe inhabitants
of any island in the South Pacific.
Malekula island has long been under
the joint control of France and Eng
land and at intervals some display
of force has been necessary to make
the islanders respect the local repre-
sentatives of a more advanced civil
iZation. Despite their reputation for
pugnacity, however. there is much, de-
clareS a recent writer. to be said for
the MalekulanS. For one thing. they
are remarkably honest: the traveller
who goes among them knows that
however. he may fare as regards per-
sOnal safety, he is in no danger what
ever of losing his personal property.
And if he is careful not to irritate his

GOES BACK TO ANCIENT DAYS
Expression Concerning Fires of Faith
and the Torch of Religion Traced
to Fire Worshipers.

my faith is like a burning fame"
many martyr has said when he was
being sorely tried. II may carry the
torch of the true religion forward" is
ar expression so often used that it
seems almost trite. Is 1t an accident
that many of the most fervent religious
phrases are connected in one way or
another with the fire-image?
One of the curious customs of Lithu-
ania gives a clew to the answer to
this question. Religion and faith are
expressed in fiery terms because most
of our ancestors were fire wOrshipers
The tradition has Outlived pagan
ism, has come into Christianity itself
and remains most plainly evident in
the language we use when talking of
religion.
In Lithuania family councils are held
only in front of the hearth. All impor-
tant gatherings are connected with
the fireplace. The fire is never allowed
to die out. 1t is the duty Of the old
est woman in the family to tend to the
fire, 70 cover it. with ashes at night
and to revive it in the morning.
Why the oldest woman rather than
the oldest man? Because in pagan
days the attendants of the sacred fires
were always women, the vestal vir
gins, whose lives were devoted to that
one task.
When we speak of the fires of faith,
therefore, or of the torch of religion,
we are barking back to the ancient
days, the days when fire was faith and
religion a torch.
