The Wet Flag Raised in Jersey.

The Republicans Of New Jersey, in
State convention, voted yesterday for
a wet referendum-a referendum SIM
liar in all respects to that which
received the approval Of the voters of
New York last year by more than a
million votes. In effect, the action OF
the Republican State convention yes
terday was a hosting Of the wet flag.
Hitherto the Republican party in New
Jersey has not committed itself to
any proposal to change the prohibi-
ton laws. 1t has. however, nominated
and elected on two occasions wet
United States Senator, Mr.. Edge.
The vote in the convention yester-
day was a victory for the Edge wing
of the party, and was bitterly re-
sisted by some Of the leading drys
among the Republicans and all the
woman members Of the convention.
The State convention pledged the Re-
publican party to support a resolu'
ton in the State Legislature propos-
ing a referendum on the following
Questions:
Should the Congress of the United
States modify the Federal act to en-
force the eighteenth amendment so
that the same shall not prohibit the
manufacture, sale and transportation
Of beverages which are not, in fact,
Intoxicating as determined by the
laws of the respective States, within
the limit set by Congress? Should
the State transmit to Congress the
result of such expression OF opinion!
Republicans supporting the pro-
posal for the referendum frankly de-
clared that the Democrats had won
the gubernatorial election in New
Jersey time after time because Of
their stand against prohibition IN
it's present form and because the Re-
publicans have been dry.
There seems little consolation for
the drys in the New Jersey situation
today. The most they can do, II they
will, is to split the Republican vote
and force the election Of wet Demo
Gratis. These were the tactics adopted
last year by the dry Republicans In
New York State, when they nominated
for Senator Franklin w. Cristman.
an Independent dry Republican, and
killed off Senator Wadsworth, the reg
ular Republican nominee and a wet.
The drys can punish the Republicans
in New Jersey for falling away from
the prohibition path by similar meth
DDS. But where will it get them?
The Democratic party in New Jersey
Il as "wet as the Atlantic Ocean"
However, it may be expected that the
bone drys would rather see the Re-
publican party fiat on its back in Jer-
sey than to see both the major par
ties wet and triumphantly so. 1t re-
mains to be seen whether the dry Re-
publicans in the State will vote their
party ticket or will vote bone dry,
whether party or prohibition is to

During the later days OF June the
humming bird came to our garden
again.
1t was just at dusk, when the eve
ming star had begun to take on its
customary brightness. that this small
est winged friend made his 1927 ad-
vent.
For four years, now, a pair Of hum.
mers has honored Esstee Alley. In
| our ignorance of bird life, we fondly
| believe them the same pair. Maybe
some one can tell us about this.
The gladiolus Is what does it.
If you want to attract humming
| birds to your garden, plant the gladio-
lus. A ruby-throat, the prevailing
species hereabouts. almost assuredly
| will come as the result Of your trouble.
Then. there will be. of course, the
Incompatible beauty of these wonder
full flowers, second to nothing in the
garden, with the exception of the
roses, and to some extent, at least,
surprising even the queen of flowers.
One knows not what quality it Is
about the gladiolus which appeals. any
more than it is possible to isolate the
one charm of some lovely lady that
calls to the one chosen.
| Perhaps, it is, both with lovely
| "glads' and ladies, a feeling that here
is one long known, who simply Is a
part Of one.
II knew you, fair one, by the side
Of the pyramids, 5000 years ago"
The gladiolus strikes this note with
| thousands of flower lovers.
Love Of 1t Is more of a conversion
than anything else.
Perhaps this is why 1t has such in
| tense friends, who are never done
singing its praises, although they bore
those not yet converted.
| X X X +
The garden that grows gladioH al.
most surely will have humming birds,
the male with it's ruby throat, the
more sedately green-clad female.
Somewhere in the neighborhood, al
most at the top of yonder highest tree,
| perhaps, there will be a nest that no
| man shall see. In time there will be
a pair Of tiny eggs, no bigger than the
end OF a little finger. And in time
| farther on, there will appear two birds,
the size Of bumble-bees.
Few there are who ever see these
| treasures of the bird world. The
| growth of the baby birds must be very
rapid, for they should be gone to parts
South by the time Autumn, with it's
nipping froSts, comes to Washington.
One wonders how they manage to
| find their way so far to exactly this
spot, this back street, if one may so
call our alley, in great city crowd
| ed with streets and alleys.
Can their little eyes spot the gladi-
| oil, or can they sense them in some
| other way? AS matter of fact, none
| was in bloom when the Jewel of the
air" arrived this Summer. Perhaps
| the waving leaves looked good to him.
| Or maybe 1t was the restful green Of
| the grass, with nearby trees calling
| to repose.

CARROTS Hat in the Ring.

FINS J. Garrett of Tennessee,
minority leader of the House, has cast
his hat in the ring. He will be can.
didate for the Democratic nomination
for Senator next year against Senator
Kenneth Mcclellan. The nominating
primary will not be held until August
2, 1928. Mr.. Garrett is giving his
friends and his opponents ample time
to prepare for the fray. The contest
between Mr.. Garrett and Senator Nc
Kellar will be a real battle. Senator
Mcclellan has a hold on the affections
of his constituents that will be diff.
ficult to pry loose. He has been indus
trious, indefatigable in their interests.
He has been dry, strongly Democratic
and progressive. He has twice been
elected to the Senate by large votes.
Mr.. Garrett, on the other hand. Is
known as the ablest debater on the
Democratic side of the House cham.
Der, perhaps in the whole House. He
speaks clearly, convincingly and with
eloquence. He is an authority on the
Constitution. He is parliamentarian
Of wide experience. He is partisan, as
he must be in the position Of leader
of the Democrats. But he is also fair
in his dealings with the opposition. He
has sought to expedite legislation
rather than to hinder it, when no
party principle was involved in the
measure. He has the respect of the
opposition and the liking of his col
leagues. For twenty-one years Mr..
Garrett has been a member of the
House and when his present term ex.
pires he will have served twenty-five
years in that body. Only five members
in the present House outrank him In
longevity Of service-Cooper OF Wis.
consin, with more than thirty years.
although not continuous: Butler Of
Pennsylvania. Haugen Of Iowa, Pou
of North Carolina and Garner OF
Texas.
Strangely enough, one of the argu'
ments used against Mr.. Garrett In his
campaign for reelection to the House
in 1926 was his length of service.
Twenty years, his opponents urged,
was a long enough period for any man
to serve in the House and receive a
salary from Uncle Sam as member
of Congress. No member Of the House
from Tennessee, it Is said, has ever
served more than twenty-five years.
In other States, long service with Its
full experience and important COM
mittee and other assignments Is con-
sidered a distinct asset to member
Of Congress. Indeed, it has sufticed to
return many men to the House at ad.
vanced ages. Mr.. Garrett is by no
means old. He will be fifty-two on
August 26. He was renominated In the
ninth Tennessee congressional district
last year, but by a narrow margin-so
narrow as scarcely to be an encour-
agement to offer for the Senate. His
hope, however, is that statewide
contest will be another matter.

equipped or managed. There must be
some check upon him, and such q
check as will give his passengers abso'
lutte security, regardless Of his orders,
regardless Of his disposition to cut
the margin Of safety, regardless Of the
weather.
, AS the case is at present understood
this was fragrant instance Of the ig'
noring of signals. The weather was
clear. it was at high noon, the view of
the lights was unobstructed. Had the
brakes been applied when the "yel
low" appeared there would have been
no collision, no deaths, no inquest, no
funerals, no protracted investigation,
no delayed punishment for reckless
ness.
The cost Of automatic train control
may be heavy, but 1t is not so heavy
as the cost Of fatal collisions. When
will the installation Of this system be
completed on the lines which have
been ordered to equip themselves for
the security Of their passengers?

the Democratic party. Garrett, on
the other hand, Is a brilliant de-
batter and reckoned conservative.
He is not regarded as particularly
dry, although he voted for prohlbi...
ton. The Anti-Saloon League Will
probably go to the support of NC
Kellar in the coming compaign,
horse, foot and artillery. Mcclellan
supported the McNary- Haugen farm
relief bill. Garrett opposed 1t. Nc
Kellar voted for the soldiers bonus
and Garrett against it. Garrett will
have served % years in the House
when he completes his present term.
The Democratic machine in Tennes-
see Is said to be favorable to Car
rett, although he had a terrible time
winning q denomination in his dis
trict in 1926. Gov. Peay Is credited
with supporting Garrett as against
Mcclellan. The Senator aided NC
Alester, who sought the place now
occupied by Gov. Peay. Shields, for
mer Senator, Is believed to favor
Garrett, too, and also former Sem
ator Luke Lea Is expected to line
up for the House Democratic lead
er. Mcclellan defeated Lea for the
Senate, and the latter Is one of the
wealthiest men in the State and the
owner of a number Of widely read
newspapers. Notwithstanding this
array of talent against Senator Nc.
Kellar, he has q strong hold on the
people and it Is very doubtful that
he can be defeated. Indeed, at this
writing, Mcclellan must be put in the
lead.
