CURRENT COMMENT
The Platform.

The Republican convention at Chica-
90 steered safely through the rock
strewn channel of platform making
There were few big differences TO be
adjusted aside from the plank relating
to the league of nations, but for time
the difficulties of agreement there
doomed big and serious indeed. Inc
compromise is like most compromise
it NAV not have been the bravest
thing to do. but it was the politically
expedient. 1t prevented any danger OF
a split or bolt. As for the rest Of the
platform, there are some outstanding
things to emphasize. 1t supports the
Governor Coolidge theory of mo strike
against government 1t emphatically
opposes government ownership OF rall-
roads. II avoids the soldiers bonus
issue. II handles with some spirit the
sedition question in relation to free
speech. 1t treats the protective tarlif
idea with a moderation quite without
precedent in Republican party history.

pre before the convention and men OF
as great drawing power as vote getters,
yet they fell by the wayside in the
deadlock or were given but scant con
sideration by the majority of the dele
gates. Harding really was child OF
chance, and mighty lucky one too. He
was not counted as real possibility
prior to the opening of the convention
and he was not probability until the
Wood -Lowden- j ohnson deadlock made
it evident that compromise candidate
would have to be agreed upon In the
consideration of a compromise candi-
date it became necessary to count upon
geographical location as well as other
places of delicate situation. Ohio is
pivotal state. Ohio is at present
Democratic state. Ohio is a mother OF
presidents, thereby furnishing what
ever psychological influence such pres
tiee gives. Harding was ,Ohio's son, al
belt not wholly a favorite son, in the
convention. Moreover, Harding was not
djspleasing to the senatorial leaders OF
the various wings of the party, What
more natural, therefore, than the nomi-
nation of Harding of Ohio? Nothing.
So the turn of chance, as it were,
brought trailer up to the front OF the
race, and Harding, man OF minor
ability and unknown to the country as
whole, is the standard bearer of the
party.
However, there are worse things than
being comparatively unknown, and
Harding is bound to rise out of the OBJ
scurity in which he has remained, out
side of his own state. He is looked up
on as a strict party man, good mixer,
an agreeable companion, an eloquent
speaker and a man of much mental at
tainment. His was period of strug-
gle during his early life. He was com
PEELED by force of circumstances to bat
tie against odds for an education and
against further odds for his start in
business life. His political career has
not been unmixed with defeat, he hay-
ing lost his race for governor OF Ohio
although later being elected United
States senator by rousing majority.
But if the first part OF the Republi-
can ticket is weak and only slightly
known, the remainder makes up for the
deficiency although it can be stated In
all truth that Gov. Calvin Coolidge OF
Massachusetts,, a native Of Vermont, rs
bv no means self-seeker after pub
licity in politics or anything else. His
rise into national prominence was due
to his endeavor TO perform the duties
OF his Office with fidelity to his oath as
governor. That's why Calvin Coolidge
il known from one end of the country
to the other; and that's why the dele
gates literally fell over each other In
the convention to second his nomina--
tion. Himself modest, retiring man,
rarely saying anything but always to
the point when he does speak, Coolidge
is fine type of the rugged old Puritan
"a man of sturdy character, OF good
mental attainments and of answering
determination to do that which he
thinks is right Coolidge adds immeas-
urably to the strength Of the Republic
can ticket, and much of the turn OF the
election will depend upon him.

In wretchedly poor taste if there was
my hope to win over delegates, and
ZONE sections were absolutely repel-
lent. Those drawbacks, taken in con-
Junction with Johnson's personal fail
Ings, eliminated him completely from
serious consideration. 1t takes as much
tact to give nominating speech as it
ioes to handle hedgehog.

The Population of New York City.

The new census figures. though
tentative, seem to make it certain
that New York is the largest city In
the world. Precise comparison with
London is difficult because OF differ
encea in the way in which the city
limits are defined, but statisticnns
will have more TO work upon next
year when new census of London
will be taken. Whatever subj a
comparison may show, the time is
large and acute difficulties of hous-
ing and transportation are likely to
come to be the ease in ancient Rome.
These factors may have had some
thing to do both with the declining
rate of increase during the past dee.
ade and with the actual decline OF
population in Manhattan, which is
the most interesting point in the
news census figures. From 2,33l,-l
$40 in 1910 il drops TO 2,2s4, 1903, a
loss of 47,439, or 2 per cent, and
is now pressed close by Brooklyn,
which has increased from li634,3Sl
to 2,022 ,262, gain OF 1857 ,Sll, or
census year Brooklyn should be well
in the lead. Ultimately Manhattan
NAV be a kind of terminal station
for people who live somewhere else,
a hive of trade and center for
hotels and theatres but decreasing
ly place to live in. Such ten
dency. from Manhattan's point of
view, is to be regretted.
Although the percentage of growth
has declined from 1871 in 1910 70
.I7.9 in 1920, the total increase OF
New York for the decade is s54,267,
which is large enough for any city
properly to take care of. Whether
there viii be a new acceleration in
the next few years depends on eco
nomie and political conditions abroad
either temporary check or a phe-
nomenal growth is quite conceivable.

The proceeds of the bazar and

by the Keyport Engine Company
exceed $4,000 which amount will be
applied afterward to the payment OF
the American la France truck pur-
chased last year. At the bazar held
last season more than $4,000 cleared
at that time was paid toward the
purchase of the truck. and with the
proceeds of this years event more
than half the cost of the truck pur-
chased for $40, 500 has been met.
The company expects to continue
holding events of like nature until
the entire debt has been wiped out,
for although the borough agreed to
pay half the purchase price the
engine company desires to pay the
entire amount.
