er. The new member is placed at the bottom of the
committee list. A those at the top die or are de-
teated, those below are advanced, and each member
may expect his turn at tire craftsmanship if he lives
long enough.
Senator McCumber. recently second among
the Republicans on the finance committee, was ad-
vanced to the position of chairman on the death of
Senator Penrose. Senator Smoot of Utah is next
in order, and after him, comes Senator LaFollette.
On the retirement. Of Senator McCumber next
March. Smoot will be in line for the Craftsmanship.
1t has been reported that he does not desire the posi-
ton, one reason being that he is likely to be elevated
to the position of head of the Mormon church, of
which he is a member, in. which case it is believed
that he will retire from the senate. That would
leave the place open for LaFollette, and there are
many who believe that the performance of the pro-
verbal bull in the china shop would be tame COM
pared with what might be expected of LaFollette as
chairman Of the finance committee.
Senator LaFollette has been careful to retain,
technically, his party regularity, though he has con
tinually been a thorn in the side Of the Republican
party, and has, as one writer puts it, always been
pleased to learn of the defeat of any Republican
other than himself. Mr.. LaFollette has on several
occasions denounced the seniority rule. Some Of
the reasons which he has advanced are excellent,
though there is more than a lingering suspicion that
his chief objection was that the rule DELAYED his own
Now that the rule. if followed. seems likely to land
him in one of the best places to be filled, it will be
interesting to note whether or not his views on the
seniority rule have become modified with the pas
sage of the years. -

David found Lady Gertrude as be-
fore, shy but cordial. She talked to

many questions about his country. A
perfectly natural remark of Dav1d'S
towards the conclusion Of the dinner
! created a situation which he abso-
lutely failed to understand. She was
asking him about the architecture Of
| the capital, and after a few sentences
of explanation he spoke to her Of

WHO IS THE LEADING CANDIDATE?

Those who are fond of fitting figures together
like the pieces in a puzzle arc always able to find
congenial occupation in the inspection of election re-
turns. In the present case it will interest them to
observe that some four thousand more votes were
cast for governor than for senator, a straw which
helped to show where the interest lay. -Four thou
sand persons who voted for governor were not suffi-
GENTLY interested in the senatorial contest to vote
for either candidate. '
Not only were more votes cast for governor
than for senator. but Nestos, candidate for governor
received a thousand more votes than were polled by
Frazier, leading candidate for senator.
The sudden death of former Senator Gronna
withdrew from the campaign an element which
otherwise would have affected the result very ma
~terially. Had Mr.. Gronna lived and been able to
conduct the vigorous campaign of which he was ca
pable when in good health, he would have received
a large vote. He had a very large following among
the league members, many of whom desired his en-
dorsementi rather than that of Mr.. Frazier. His
following among the Independents was less impor-
tant. 1t is safe to estimate that he would have
drawn two votes from Frazier to one from McCum-
Der. That process need not have been continued
long to balance the votes of McCumber and Frazier,
and after that it would have been anybody's race,
with the probabilities strongly against Frazier.

FRIDAY EVENING. JULY I, 1922.
SHIPS AND PROHIBITION.

An attempt is being made, as was to be expect
ed, to make political capital Of the sale OF liquor on
American ships. Regardless OF the political angie,
and regardless of the legal tcchnicalities of the case,
it seems at least uniting that liquor should be sold
on ships belonging to the United States government
or, what amounts to the same thing, to the shipping
board. when tho federal constitution prohibits the
sale of liquor within the United States.
In a general way, the constitution and laws OF
the United States arc supposed to follow the mag.
A ship which is entitled to fly the Stars and Stripes,
whether owned by the government or not, is tor
most purposes considered American territory,
wherever it may happen to be. And the logic OF the
case would seem to indicate that acts which the
federal law makes illegal when committed on shore
are also illegal when committed on American ships.
But, while the courts may have other opinions
on this phase OF the subject, considerations of fit
ness and consistency demand that the government
itself should not permit acts to be performed on it's
own ships which are prohibited to all American citl-
zens on dry land.
1t has been said that it would be impossible for
the government ships to compete with ships OF for
cign registry if prohibition should be extended to
them. The former German chancellor, it will be
remembered explained that the Germans could not
get at France without going through Belgium. The
obvious answer was that they were at liberty to re-
main at home. 1t may be that the country has got
itself into a distressing predicament by adopting the
prohibition amendment. But the amendment was
adopted. 1t is law. 1t makes no exceptions. And
all the explanations that can be made will not make
the sale of liquor on government ships consistent
with the spirit of that law, no matter what the
courts say about the letter.

Food for growing children should
be simple and easy of digestion. Tea

cocoa and water will give them suffi-

All highly seasoned foods, sauces

a manner as is possible. One who

the afternoon before u.s."
Gramont left the house, and headed
down toward the bayou shore.
He took a letter from his pocket,
opened it, and glanced over 1t anew. It
was an old letter, one written him
nearly two years previously by Lucie
Ledanois. 1t had been written mere
~ in the endeavor to distract the
thoughts Of a wounded soldier, to
ibring his mind to Louisiana, away
from the stricken fields of France. In
the letter Lucie had described some Of
the more interesting features Of Bayou
Terrebonne-the oyster and shrimp
fleets, the Chinese and Filipino vii
lagos along the gulf. the far-spread
cypress swamps; the bubbling foun-
tains, natural curiosities, that broke
up through the streams and bayous of
the whole wide parish-fountains that
were caused by gas seeping up from
the earth's interior. and breaking
through.
Gramont knew that plans were al
ready afoot to tap this field of natural
gas and pipe it to New Orleans. on
had been found, too, and all the state
was now oil-mad. Fortunes were be-
ing made daily, and other fortunes
were being lost daily by those who
dealt with oil stocks instead Of with
Oil.
"Those gas fountains did the work |"
reflected Gramont. "And according to
this letter there's one of those foun-
tains here in the bayou, close to her
property. Just opposite the dock, she
says. The first thing is to find the
dock, then the fountain. After that,
we'll decide If it's true mineral gas.
If 1t is, then the works done-for I'll
sure take chance on finding oil near

Gramont came to the bayou and be-
gan searching his way along the thick
and high fringe of bushes and saplings
that girded the waters edge. Present
ly he came upon the ruined evidences
of what had once been a small boat
shed. Not far from this he found the
dock referred to in the letter; nothing
was left of it except a few spiles pro-
truding from the surface of the water.
But he had no need to look farther.
Directly bofore him, he saw that
which he was seeking.
A dozen feet out from shore the wa
ter was rising and falling in a continu-
Gus dome or fountain of highly
charged bubbles that rose foot above
the surface. Gramont stared at 1t,
motionless. He watched it for space
then. abruptly, he started. It was a
violent start. start of sheer amaze
ment and incredulity.
He leaned forward, staring no longer
at the gas dome, but at the water
closer inshore. For moment he
thought that his senses had deceived
him. then he saw that the thing was
there indeed, there beyond any doubt
Ia very faint trace of iridescent light
that played over the surface of the
water.
