Editorial Review
MR.. NcADOO AND THE
ENTE NTC

In purely personal way Will
liam G. McAtco may find some
thing agreeable TO his pride in the
prospect that 1t will be case OF
himself against the field in the
striving for the Democratic pres
idential nomination, but as pTac-
;ical politician il is doubtful If he
surveys this situation With unal-
loyed satisfa ction.
Mr. NcAdoo - not such an out
standing and towering candidate,
that he and his friends can look
with complacency upon the triple
or quadruple entente that appears
10 be forming against hin. Many
nomination in the two old parties
in the past suffered defeat for the
very reason that in advance Of the
conventions they held places of
prominence like that which Mr..
McAdoo now holds 1t vas their
detached grandeur that drew the
fire CT the combined opposition.
1t IS reported from Washington
that when the Democratic national
committee meets in Washington i
week from today adherents OF Mr.
McAdoo will seek TO abrogate the
rule requiring twO-thirds vote
or the national convention 10 make
a nomination. II is readily seen
that IL a majority vote Of the dele
gates were sufficient 70 nominate,
the chances CT Mr.. McAdoo to be
chosen the party, standard-bearer
would be greatly enhanced.
II an effort is made to depart
from te historic custom OF the
Democratic party in this respect,
the rank and file Of the party may
confidently look for dramatic
fiare-up in the committee and for
consolidation of the forces Of those
who are not in sympathy with the
McAdoo candidacy. At this dis
lance it looks as if it might be
poor politics" for the McAdoO ad-
hesion in the committee to under
take this revolutionary procedure
BY the same token it looks to be
correspondingly good politics"
for the opposition entente 10 de-
clare for retention OF the two
thirds arrangement.
The man who is now the dis
tinguished father-in-law of Mr..
McAdoo was nominated in Balti-
more in 1912 because the two
thirds rule, and only that rule,
prevented the realization of the
aspirents of Champ Clark Of Mis-
Souri,, who was able to muster ii
majority OF the convention. 1t is
not an extravaganza to say that ii
it had not been for the two-thirds
rule at that time, Mr.. McAdoo prob
ably never would have come intu
conspicuous place in the councils
OF a Democratic national admins
tration. 1t seems a bit ungrateful
therefore, for the admirers of Mr.
McAdOo to have any purpose of at
i. lacking the rule at this time. Pos.

ADVENTURE OF
THE TWINS
BY Olive Roberts Barton

When the travellers landed in Bal
loon Land the magic dustpan dumped
them off right beside the forest
where the baby balloons were grow
! ing
GLOW do you do?" said a voice,
and there stood large paper ele-
| plant balloon that had foated up to
Balloon Land on the Fourth of July
How d. do" answered Daddy
Gander. did you see two little fell
lows come this way, Mister Ele
phant? Each Of them was holding
onto big bunch of circus balloons
and they blew away with them. /
mean the balloons blew away with
| the little boys. The boys didn't blow
away with the balloons"
The balloon elephant was just
about to answer, when they heard
Mother Goose's voice say, "Here,
Mister man, III take that yellow bal
loon, and that silver balloon, and the
red one with a white cat painted on
it, and the green one that looks like
watermelon, and that pretty blue
one, and those two white ones. My!

year. l never saw them grow so
large before. Cut them all off the

hurry. must go back to Mother
Goose Land because it's circus day.
l want these extra fine balloons for
some of my little friends.
Dear me! Oh, dear mel" gasped
poor Daddy Camden. It's Mother
Goose herself! She mustn't see US
for she'd never understand any
thing"
But no sooner had he spoken than
Tweedle Dunn and Iweedle Dee ap-
peared, still holding onto their bal
looms, or rather the balloons still
holding onto them, for by this time
the strings were SO tangled they
couldn't have let 60 If they'd
wanted to.
"How on earth did you two ever
get us here?" cried Mother Goose
breathlessly.
Then the TWeedles told her the
whole story. How they had been
down watching the circus come in
and how the californian had asked
them to hold his balloons for a min
ute. And how a wind had come, along
and carried them up to the sky be-
fore they could let. go.
well, I'll take you both home on
my broom" said Mother Goose, but
suddenly she thought Of something.
my goodness! Lforgot! I'll have
to jump on my broom at once and
go up to Bfust4r Gust Land and
tell Mister Sprinkle Blow to send
nice weather for the cirrns. ! don't
know how to get you home.
At that Daddy Gander stepped out,
and SO did Nancy and Nick and the
circus man, who had come along.
"Hello, mdther!" said Daddy Gan
der heartily. 81 will take them
home. I brought my magic dustpan
along and it's Big enough to hold
everybody"
Mother Goose wasn't a BIT cross.

Missez Tweedle got her boys home
