A REAL MANS ION.

The gentlemen who are to name the
secretary OF the State Democratis
headquarters. which IL to be of'ened
soon In this city. have a far
weixhtier problem on their hands than
they seem to believe. II ono may judge
by the talk in Democratic circles
A very grave mistake Is going to he
made IL the secretary is merely some
nice chap. who la popular socially
but lacking in ability and leadership
While this man will be technictlly
known as secretary, he can do far
more than his duties require IL he
possesses the qualifications of a leader
No person who cannot command the
fulsome respect of his fellow-citizens
should be given this position. And
the man who does get the post must
make of headquarters not a rallyine
point for loafers. but a place where
self-respectine men and good women
will wish to gather. Any other sort
of headquarters will prove to be a dis
NAL failure from the start.

WANT THEM TO STAY.

With the restoration of peace be-
tween America and Germany, the
question that comes more and more
to the front Is: VIII General Allen
and his troops be permitted to hold
the bridgehead at coblenz7 In the oe-
cupied territory itself, the wish ir
universal that the Americans may
remain for long while. despite the
excessive value of the dollar and the
corresponding cost Of maintaining
them. 1t Is the general impression that
tho good work done by them as un-
official mediators more than offsets
their costs.
Anyhow, every German schooltpy
around Cobienz knows that IL the
Americans leave the French will take
their place. But apart from the gen.
eral feeling of welcome to and kindli-
ness towards the Americans on the
Rhine, there Is the specific question
uf the personnel of the Rhinelane
Commission. Gen. Allen has done som,
unforgettahle work in this connection
but he remains the commander of tn,
troops. and though he has "voicee In

WHAT OF NEMnERRyi

Commander Newberry, that brave
and chivairous gentleman whose
friends purchased senatorial toga
for him several years ago. remains
in the Senate, despite the fact that
1t has been proven without shadow
of doubt that his seat was obtained
by immoral methods. The gentle
man was indicted on a charge OF vio-
lating the corrupt practices law. and
would be wearing tho prison stripes
today II the Supreme Court OF the
United States had not declared that
law unconstitutional. A Senate sub
committee for months has been In
vestigating this case. but for some
peculiar reason no report has ever
been made of the affair. 1t is not
known what pressure. IL any. has been
brought TO bear on that body to hush
the entire matter Indefinitely.
In the United States Senate there
are many~chivalrous and upright Re-
publicans who would scorn To have
any connections whatsoever with
an immoral acf~ They are men who
are beyond reproach and who
feel most keenly the disgrace % their
party permitting such a man to re-
main within its councils. No doubt
II they had their way Newberry's seat
would become vacant. But unfortu-
nately those men are I'm the minority
within their party, and therefore
must bow to the will OF the majority,
which is perfectly willing for the
brave commander to remain a shining
light of Senatorial wisdom.
Many men in Newberry's position
would have the grace TO resign. but
II seems that this person has that first
requisite OF the politician--the hide
of a rhinoceros, and therefore con-
tinues unabashed TO help make the
laws which hts honest fellow citizens
are to respect and obey. II Newberry
had stolen ham he would have prob
ably been imprisoned fdt Ave years
or SO. But obtaining a Senatorial seat
by the use of money Is difreran,
thing.

FACTORS IN UNEMPLOYMENT,

Preliminary studies OF the unen-
