gates were there from many states-a number
OF them from Illinois-who were for Wilson
from the start, not because some politician
had lined them up, but because they had faith

which kept growing daily during that loLg

They were for Wilson from conviction when
they went to Baltimore and they never weak

Then Bryan did the rest.
McCombs did not make Wilson president.

and studied the delegates and watched the poll

strength was the only obstacle standing in the

Bryan destroyed Clarks chances there was an
immediate rush for the band wagon. McCombs
was only small factor in the nomination OF
Wilson for the presidency.

New Ships for England.

Speaking recently before the house of COM
mons Lloyd George announced that the British
government had decided to proceed with the
construction Of four new capital ships for the
navy at a total cost of 2S,O0O.0O0 pounds sterI-
ing. The governments decision. continued the
prime minister was not intended as a threat
against any other nation, nor was it the first
move in the precipitation of new international
competition in armament. The new capital
ships are needed to replace vessels which have
become obsolete. and the government, Lloyd
George affirmed, would be failing in its duty il
it wilfully permitted the efficiency of the navy
to be impaired.
The British determination to continue the
construction of capital ships has especial
significance in view of the coming disarma-
ment conference at Washington. 1t proves that
the English government not only considers that
the capital ship is still necessary to an up-to-
date navy, but that it holds equally firmly to
the belief that the British empire will need
modern navy for some time to come.

Artist and Gentleman.

According to his physician, Caruso was not
only great artist, but a fine gentleman as
we'll. Caruso's life, indeed, has a lesson for
temperamental stars of lesser magnitude, and
the spoiled chits of actresses in the movie
world who skulk because their dressing rooms
lack a southern exposure. Measured by the
usual standards, Caruso could not have been
a great artist He refused to give the manage
ment trouble. He was prompt at rehearsals.
He kept with his own hand careful record Of
the tickets that he dispensed among his friends
in order that there might be charge that he
was buying popularity. He was kind to his as
sociates, and big brother to the younger
singers. Instead of being aloof and naughty
he was genial and gracious
So business-like was he in keeping appoint
ments that he once made a hurried trip from
New Orleans to Atlantic City in order not to
dsappoint an audience before which he was
scheduled to appear, even though the perform
ance was purely for charity. Caruso certainly
must have been lacking in the artistic tenn
permanent, for he never slapped an understudy,
drove a manager to suicide, put director
in a sanitarium. Or may it have been that
this who for almost quarter of century
combined the gentleman and the artist
so assured of fame that he did not have to
strive for cheap notorety so much sought after
by the ephemeraI darlings of tickle public?

For two or three years l have

Answer - Your own physician

corning your diet. l cannot assure
any reader that the karell regimen

why not wait a little longer, and
take up the Karell regimen after
you have weaned the baby?

Governor Len Small, in demanding an i'm
mediate trial of the grand jury charge that he
embezzled state funds while serving in the
Office of state treasurer, roundly scores those
responsible for insttuting the proceedings
against him, alleging that he is a victim of a
conspiracy on the part of his pc litical enemies.
He declares he is innocent of any wrongGoing
and that his traducers have wilfully brought
disgrace upon the fair of Illinois. III
this latter claim the governor is mistaken. No
one or crowd of men blemish the
name of Illinois. Men will continue to err
but old Illinois holds her head high and re-
mains clean and true. Governor Small, as
The Argus has said repeatedly, will not be
convicted by the jury that tries him But he
will be given the political knockout. That's

Going to Brazil?

If you expect to attend the next worlds
fair you will be obliged to make a trip TO
Brazil, the country from which comes our good
coflee. There hasn't been a decade in the last
half century without its worlds fair, and per-
haps several OF them. City after city set out
to stage one, confident in its advertising value,
sure that it would bring thousands of visitors
and millions Of dollars to home merchants
Usually such cities have been disappointed.
Worlds fairs seldom pay those who promote
them. Those who pr0ht are the visitors.
Next year there is to be a worlds fair
worth while. Brazil is to hold it in celebration
OF the centenary of the establishment of the
Brazilian state on Sept. 7, 1922 Already the
. work of leveling one of Rio Janeiros famous
hills into the bay to form an exposition ground
is well under way. Rio is the capital, and
therefore gets the exposition. The independ-
ence of Brazil, it happens, was first pro-
claimed in San Paulo.
The exposition will include exhibits of ma
tional products of every kind from every quar-
ter of the great republic. as we'll as displays

Dramatized Sermon on Divorce.

A sermon which lasted week without
wearying any preached by Rev
Charles Carver of Christ Episcopal church, New
Haven, Conn, when he recently acted the lead
ing role in nine performances C THE Divorce
Question" on the boards of local theatre. Mr..
Carver, now curate of Christ church. was once
actor we'll known to New Haven theatre
goers. In presenting the divorce drama he
gathered about him a cast of professionals and
amateurs, who played to crowded and enthus-
iastic houses. MIR. Carter took the step part
of Christ church's determined effort to bring
to the attention of the people of New Haven
the great divorce evil.
THE idea that we are trying to carry out
is to plant in the public mind the increasing
evil Of the divorce system which is making
America the laughing stock of the world, and
which is poisoning our national life at its
source" says Mr.. Carver MY belief is that if
our parents are not to have control of our
moral instruction and teach our children that
marriage is sacrament and not contract or
thing to be terminated at individual caprice
then the church must undertake the teaching
plainly and firmly from the pulpit in order to
save the nation from ruin. The stage is one
OF the most powerful allies that the church
can have in promoting Christian teaching on
this vital subject 1 utterly opposed to the
type oI sermons which l read in some news
papers, which express sweeping condemnation
of the theatre The theatre is evil only when
men and women make it such. We shall give
plays and continue to have them as part of
the Kings business. The plays will serve as
a background for Christian teaching"
The presentation of "The Divorce Question
was described by the local newspapers as the
most novel event in New Ravens theatrical
history The play is a strong drama depicting
the result of divorce between Mr.. and Mrs.
Herbert lockwood. At the time of their d,-

the other hand, recall the slumpy,

an expression, merely, of vigor,
health and cheerful mindedness, or
is health of body and mind a state
more or less dependent on good

this question is a matter of opin-
ion. In my opinion good posture
is rather the determinant of the
physical and mental health that as

in that popular injunction, smile

Memoirs of McConbs.

The memoirs of the late lamented William
+ McCombs, former chairman of the Demo-
cratic national committee. have been published.
The outstanding feature of these writings is
the bitter condemnation of the author upon
woodrow Wilson, whom he claims to have ele-
waited TO the presidency of the United States.
Mr McCombs was a capable chairman an able
politician, and deserved much credit for the
wilson nomination, but he does only his own
memory violence by these anti-WIson ont
bursts His statements may give some tenn
rorary comfort to those who desire to hear
things condemnatory of Woodrow Wilson. bu,
those things are of value to society and
they are entirely lacking in anything construc-
tive or worth while. They are Just a Duff of
wind and soon forgotten.
Mr.. McCombs died a sorely disappointed
politician Possibly he did not receive the DO
litfcal reward he deserved at the hands of
Wilson as president but that is personal to
him and a matter entirely individual rather
than concerning government good
No one man made Woodrow Wilson presi-
dent Such politicians as identified themselves
with him may have aided materially at times,
but II any one man nominated the former New
Jersey governor at Baltimore in 1912 it was
woodrow Wilson himself Next in importance
