The Nations Name.

1t is a fact that is not generally
known to Americans that the title. the
United States of America" which is
tion Of this country, was not, strictly
speaking, adopted in the Declaration
of Independence, the anniversary Of
which is celebrated today. AS a matter
of fact there was no such organiZation
when the Declaration was signed. The
title of that instrument is, literally:
The unanimous Declaration Of the
thirteen united States of America .
Thus the word united was used there
purely as an adjective. Again in the
body of the resolution following the
preamble the same usage occurs thus:
I'VE. therefore, the Representative of
the united States of America in Gen
eral Congress Assembled
Probably those who signed the
Declaration had no purpose in the use
Of this adjective save for description.
That is to say, they had no intent to
give the new political organization a
King of England the fact that the
colonies or states of this country were
united in resistance to his authority
as they had been united in resistance
to his impositions of injustice.
When, however, the constitutional
convention proceeded to draft the
fundamental law the adjective became
part of the formal title. The pre-.
ambe reads:
We the People of the United States, in
Order to form more perfect Union,
establish justice, insure domestic Tran
quility, provide for the common defense
promote the general Welfare and Sc
cure the Blessings of Liberty to our
selves and our Posterity, do ordain and
establish this Constitution for the United
States of America
This designation is carried on to the
first section Of the first article, which
vests all legislative powers in Con
gress Of the United States"
The Constitution is the basic instru-
ment The Declaration was an express
sion of the spirit of independence. The
use of the word united without a
capital letter, as an adjective alone, in
the Declaration was significant Of the
fact that when the signers penned
their names to it they little thought
that they were subscribing virtually
to the baptismaI certificate of a new
nation.

On the Road.

District automobile license plates are
parading on many roads today. Tens
of thousands Of the familiar signs,
ID. c., 1924" are moving to and fro
on every road on which a wheel can
fairly turn within 200 miles Of the
city. The town is quiet and there is
plenty of room in the streets. A holi-
day is the chosen time for people to
leave the city. and the Fourth Of July
is the holiday when more than the
usual number of city folk get out "in
the open." Washington's population
has spread itself east and south to
the bay and west to the mountains
Trains Of our cars have crossed the
Catoctins, rolled through the passes
Of South Mountain and gone over the
Blue Ridge and are moving along the
valley roads.
The Fourth OF July has been q great
day for outings almost ever since it
became day Of historic significance.
Our ancestors went on picnics and
attended patriotic celebrations at
Springs and woods" nearby. There
used to be Fourth Of July speeches,
fireworks, tournaments, firing of can
non by local organizations, military
drills, quadrilles, and prize target

A Double Birthday.

For the first time in the history
Of the republic President of the
United States celebrates his own
birthday on the national anniversary
Mr.. Coolidge is fifty-two years of age
today, while the nation commentaries
its 14Sth birthday.
The twenty-nine men who have &C.
cupied the White House have been
born in the following named months:
Two in January. three in February,
four in March. four in April, two in
July, one in August, one in Septem-
ber, four in October. five in Novem.
ber and three in December. There
have been no Presidents who were
born in May or June. The only other
July president except Mr.. Coolidge
was John Quincy Adams, born on the
11th of that month. Mr.. Harding's
birthday occurred on November 2,
which in 1920 was the day Of his cleo
ton.
Mr.. Coolidge thus occupies unique
position among the Presidents. He
shares. in way, with Uncle Sam the
honors of the occasion. Political
prognosticators may see in this CO.
incidence an augury. The election in
November next, however. will be de-
termined by no such chance, but by
more substantial considerations.

Radio and the Convention.

At the outset of the Democratic con-
ventin it was enthusiastically assert
ed by many Democrats that the radio
reports Of the proceedings in Madison
Square Garden would be highly help
full in the party's prospects in Novem.
Der. 1t was figured that the speeches
of the keynoters and the nominators
would make converts among listeners
in and evoke high enthusiasm for the
ticket to be nominated.
1t may be seriously questioned
whether the radio has helped the
Democratic prospects at all. On the
contrary, it may be that the long
Aawn-out proceedings faithfully re-
corded by even the smallest crystal
set and brought to the ears Of the mil
lions will have a contrary effect. Sure
ly the day-by-day and nightly might
any particular degree Of party enthu
siasm. Those who are partisans Of the
candidates for the nomination among
the listeners-in must have had their
feelings hurt by the antagonistic mani
festations. The chants Of the galleries
for Smith whenever a McAdoo compli-
ment was paid in speech or voting.
and the counter yells of the McAdoo
following whenever Smith gained an
advantage had not been calculated to
evoke harmonious feelings among the
partisans sitting in front Of loud
speakers or with ear phones clamped
on their heads.
1t has heretofore been remarked in
this connection that the radio may
prove to be liability rather than an
asset in campaign launched by such
intense factional feeling in one of the
parties. The memory Of these past
days may fade somewhat before No
vember, but the radio audience cannot
forget all that has happened. 1t can
not forgive the long spells Of ear
splitting clamor as anti-climax has
succeeded climax, and as results have
been delayed in this historic political
fight Of the Kilkenny cats.

fears to quit even in behalf Of a salts
factory third man lest his rival might
take advantage of the change to forge
ahead.
Two OF these outside chances" have
been advanced only to fail. First came
a boom for Davis Of West Virginia,
who at the outset had the ''favorite
son" votes Of his own state. with q
small scattering of other ballots. He
gradually advanced by small accre-
tons until on the 10Th ballot he had
S4h. Then came a drive for votes for
him, and on the Goth ballot he jumped
to 1872, rising on the 23d and Gath bal
lots to his high point Of 12912. He
slipped back, at first slowly. then more
rapidly. until on the 58th he was back
at 39is. Then Oklahoma. which has
been the most mercurial of the delega.
tons, save perhaps Mississippi and
Missouri, turned its 20 votes back
again, and he closed the day with 60.
1t has been said that the Davis boom
was started prematurely. But was it?
The same thing happened to Ralston,
who started with only his own 80 In
diana votes and held them steadily,
with a very few small additions. until
on the 49th ballot he was jumped from
81 to 81. and then rose to 81 on the
55th. That stood as his high-water
mark to date, for after the 57th ballot
he slipped, and when the voting closed
early this morning, on the 61st ballot
he was back to 371a, or only 5le above
his starting point.
Thus it appears that the third man
drive" cannot succeed as long as the
two leading contestants remain in the
race and hold their strength. One or
the other must yield to a compromise
candidate. In view of the fact, as
stated, that neither is inclined to quit
as long as the other is in the race, it
would seem that the only chance for
an agreement is for them to quit
simultaneously and let nature take its
course.

Disaster-Inviting Record Breaking.

II there is anything in mere record
breaking the Democratic convention
has assuredly accomplished it. But
record breaking is not in politics in
itself a particularly important pro-
cedure. What is wanted is a ticket
that will appeal to the country, that
will win enough votes in November to
gain the victory. And a record break
ing convention is not calculated to
yield such ticket.
The mere fact that for over sixty
ballots, the greatest number futilely
taken in the history of American par
ties, the Democrats have been unable
to agree upon a candidate does not ap-
peal 10 the voters. Nor does the fact
that in the course of this futile ballot
ing the most rancorous feelings have
been manifested and the most bitter
partisanship has been displayed make
for support at the polls.
1t is an old saying that a party may
quarrel over the preliminaries Of
campaign and still harmonize for the
election. But that, like many other old
sayings, is not necessarily true. There
was, for instance. the Republican
plight in 1912, which enabled the
Democratic party to elect Mr.. Wilson
Personal ambition split the party in
twain at the convention and opened
the way for the Democracy to enter
the White House. At Chicago in 1912
Mr.. Roosevelt bolted and formed
new party. While neither Mr.. McAdoo
nor Mr.. Smith may bolt from the de-
cision of the New York convention,
even if one or the other of them is
nominated, the final decision of the
convention is certain to leave one of
them and his following in a bitter
frame of mind.
Analysis of the siXty-one ballots
that have been taken at Madison
Square Garden shows clearly that but
for the two-thirds rule probably one of
the candidates would have been nom-
mated long ere now. At no time has
either of the two leaders been near
enough to the two-thirds point to make
winning by any combination short of
the collapse of the strength of his
chief rival. unless all of the other can
dates Of lesser magnitude should have
combined for the higher of the two.
In other words, Mr.. McAdoo has at all
stages needed the votes Of all the
secondary candidates, plus some of
those given to Smith. This. in the
temper of the convention, has been i'm
possible. And it has been even less
possible for Smith. who has always
had more than hundred less than
McAdoo and closed in yesterdays bal
loting 1881 votes behind him.
The two-thirds rule is check upon
any convention where there are two or
more strong candidates. 1t is a dan
gerous factor. Had it not been for the
Republican split in 1912 it would prob
ably have left party animosities that,
apart from any other considerations,
would have caused the defeat of the
Democratic party. In 1860 it caused
a defeating split, though in that case
the party was irredeemably divided on
fundamental question. In 1924 it
threatens to leave the party in a con-
dition to invite disaster.

Caustic Comments by Press
On Rhode Islands Deadlock

Rhode Islands legislative deadlock
with the Republican minority sena-
tors in retreat across the Massachu-
setts limo after sessions marked by
fist lights and an attempt to rout the
Senate with chlorine gas, has drawn
caustic comment from the press. The
trouble, editors point out, is over the
minority's effort to block a conven-
ton to revise the state constitution
and replace the present borough sys-
tenn Of representation.

ings is the independent Providence
