prominent in the convention and
in the management of his cam
paign for the election.
Republican politicians say that
the party has a leader in whom it
has confidence and who is recog-
nized as a politician of sagacity.
Chairman John T. Adams of the
national committee, who is volun-
tarily retiring, probably will
leave political life altogether, it is
said, and devote himself to his
business interests and his books.
His long service with the commit
tee as vice chairman and subse-
quently chairman made him one of
the best known Republicans in the
country and he was very popular
with the rank and file. President
Coolidge is known to have un-
bounded confidence in him.

The presidential boom of Gov.
Alfred E. Smith got off with a
flying start last week when
Franklin ID. Roosevelt, who was
assistant secretary of the Navy
under President Wilson and
Democratic candidate for Vice
President in 1920, was chosen to
head committee to manage the
Smith campaign. He will be as
sisted in the management by a
committee of upstate leaders.
The selection of Mr. Roosevelt
is construed by Democratic politi-
clans as meaning that Gov.
Smiths friends realize it to be
advisable to take off the curse"
of the cry of TOO much Tam
many" and to camoufiage the
tigers stripes.

LEGAL
 FATHER OF FIVE MONTH OLD BABY

The board of guardians at Lewis ham, England, were recently con- fronted with a problem and have just solved it, establishing a record. The board corresponds to the American overseers of the poor and maintains a nursery Among the inmates of the nursery was a fve-months'-o old baby. The institution was visited by bache- Tor, 30 years of age, who was attracted to the baby and made application for permission to adopt 1t.
 The board did not know how to act, holding that an unmarried man was not usually the proper person to care for and bring up a baby of such ten- der age. An inquiry into the appi- cant's habits, reputation and standing was instituted, and the reports sub stantiated the bachelors claim that he was capable of giving the child every comfort and withall as well equipped to be foster parent as a woman.
 His persistency won and the board agreed to permit his adopting the baby, and the decision stands as the first making an unmarried man man of family.

PRISON-MADE GOODS
 OPPOSED BY BUSINESS

New York, June 28-Work shirts made i'll Florida prisons will be sold throughout the country without dis tinguishing mark, said F. A. Allison, | secretary of garment manufacture CTS association, in protesting to Gov ernor Hardee of Florida against con- vict labor in that state.
 The governor hassigned a contract with private concern to- employ 250 inmates of the Florida state prison farm in the manufacture of worb shirts.
 Governor Hardee, Mr. Allison said, apparent ygave no consideration 10 the advisability of adopting the states use" method of employing prisoners, in line with action taken by other states.f He pointed out that Florida will receive maximum of 721l cents per dozen, contrasting with wages of $2.50 per dozen and more paid to free workers for the same labor.
 The 721z cent rate, according to MT. Allison, will not compensate the state for its expenses, 'the public of Florida and all Jother states being bound to lose through additional taxes neces- sary to make up the deficit"
 In defending his action, Governor Hardee said he, is authorized to em- ploy prisoners upon public roads and at other public work which will aid in making prisoners se1f-sustaining MT. Allison pointed out that the en- p1oyment of prisoners upon public roads or similar work provides a say ing to the state through the ability to avoid the hiring of high priced free labor, but the use of such pris- oners by private contractors, at one fourth the wages of free labor serves only to enrich the private contractor.

proclaims openly the purpose to re-
store the old conditions of Europe,
territorially and otherwise. If they
accept the British solution, and the
Germans presently repeat the 1914 per-
formance, then they are automatically
invaded, and they have not the
smallest promise Of British aid, no
matter how wanton the aggression.
1t is then no more than perfect
nonsense to imagine for a moment that
tho British solution will find any
favor on the continent If there is
to be any general organization to
preserve peace it can only come from
a compromise between the British
and continental states. The latter
cannot be asked to run all the risks.
But in exactly the same fashion the
British cannot and will not be per-
suaded to assume risks beyond their
own interests. They cannot escape
responsibility for the defense of a
system wantonly attacked. but they
can in every way safeguard the
method by which the character of
the attack is established. And that,
after all, was precisely what the
London agreement recently made did
in the matter of reparations. 1t left
to arbitration the determination of
