Mr.. Davis of Pennsylvania.

The Democrats of Pennsylvania are
asking now how come" James J. Davis,
Secretary of Labor, is eligible to be
nominated and elected to the Senate if
he was appointed to his present posi-
ton in 1921 by the late President Hard
ing as James j. Davis of Illinois"
Sedgwick Kistler, who is seeking the
Democratic nomination for the Senate,
has called the matter to the attention
of ,Iouett Shouse, chairman of the
Democratic national executive commit
tee, with the understanding, it is said
that in the event of Mr.. Davis elec-
ton to the Senate next Fall, the Demo-
Gratis may undertake contest against
his seating.

strange that such charge should come

Monaco Remains RoyaIist.

Some time ago a republican move
ment came into evidence in the prin-
cipality of Monaco. Things had been
going rather badly in the little country
and the reigning prince, Louis II, was
inclined to quit the throne and let
matters take their course. Troubles
had developed in the domestic affairs
of members of his family, his eldest
son and his consort separating. Party
chickering's and casino quarrels had
caused Prince Louis in February to de-
eide virtually to abdicate. The French
government, however, interviewed and
dissuaded him from this purpose, and
he decided to await the results of the
election. The balloting took place yes
terday and was overwhelmingly favor
able to the maintenance of the present
dynasty. The republicans were routed,
so that it is to be expected that Prince
Louis will hold the title, but will turn
over the regency to his son, Prince
Pierre, for the benefit of his own son,
Prince Reynier.
Monaco, with an area of little
over twenty-one square kilometers, or
eight square miles, has population
as of the census of 1913 of about %, 900.
The principally has been in existence
since about 968 AID. 1t was abolished
under the French Revolution and the
First Empire; it was re-established in
1914 and in 1915 was placed under the
protection of the Kingdom of Sardinia.
In 1848 Mentone and Roccabruna as
serted their independence and in 1861
they were formally transferred to
France, of which country Monaco then
became an "enclave," or an inclosed
INDEPENDENCE. The principal resource
of Monaco is the profit of the casino,
Europe's most frequented gambling re-
sort. A large percentage of the in
come of this establishment Is paid to
the reigning prince, who has been in
consequence additionally one Of the
richest monarchs in the world.

''Cood Fellowship
Declared MisnOmer

From the Chicago Daily News.
A former alderman, departing from
Chicago to serve a sentence in Fed
eral penitentiary for his participation
in conspiracy to violate the prohibi-
ton law, explained with becoming resig-
nation that he had got into trouble by
being good fellow.
A police magistrate in Western sub
urb, arrested the other day for having
misappropriated and spent some thou
sands of dollars belonging to the village
that elected him to office, attributed his
plight to the fact that he had been
good fellow, throwing his-that is, the
Yillage's-money around with a lavish
hand.
The president of a bank in another
Western suburb, now under heavy bond
on account of a shortage in the banks
funds that exceeds S100 600, lays claim
to having been a good fellow so long
as the stolen money lasted.
How much sympathy is gained by
men who pleaded that they were just
being good fellows when caught in
flagrant betrayals of trust!
There are some persons so illiberal
that they do not regard embezzlement
of bank deposits, Misrepresentation OF
municipal funds or conspiracies to vto-
late the law as ennobling proofs OF good
fellowship. In their opinion there are
other and shorter terms than good
fellow that are much more fitting to
be applied IN such cases.

That, however. and the gliding that has
been done in America is not comparable
to Hawks present flight, and while he
is demonstrating that an airplane is
capable of towing a glider his trip to
earth after he cuts loose from the plane
is simply the prosaic landing Of q
skilled pilot and nothing more.
Hawks coast-to-coast glider flight Is
probably an attempt to stimulate in

accomplish much more, it would seem,
if he abandoned his "engine" at varying
attitudes over cities where he intended
to land and attempt to stay aloft as
long as possible. The result of these
studies might well contribute something

Another expert, Lieut.. James II, Doo-

means of transportation. He regards
the work of the Guggenhs i'm fund as
giving strong support to this view. If

great strides, and the process of circun1-

Other factors than speed and safety

would be much chagrined If the veteran
Pennsylvania manufacturer were out Of
the picture in the coming congressional
campaign.
President Harding, the records reveal
did send to the Senate on March 4
1921, the nomination Of James j
Davis Of Illinois" to be Secretary OF
Labor. And Mr.. Davis was confirmed
In accordance with that appointment
Mr.. Davis was founder of the Moose
heart Home and School of the Loyal
Order Of Moose, located in Illinois. He
was director general of the order in
1906. Mr.. Harding, in making his APP
pointments to the cabinet, probably
decided that it made for better balance
geographically to put Mr.. Davis down
from Illinois. He had selected Mr.
Mellon of Pennsylvania to be Secretary
of the Treasury. In any event, that
was the designation given Mr.. Davis by
the late President in March, 1921.
However, in the Congressional Direc-
tory published December, 1921, in the
biography of the Secretary of Labor,
Mr.. Davis is set down in the first line
as James John Davis of Pittsburgh,
Pa" And in every succeeding directory
he has been so listed. Furthermore, for
the last twenty-five years Mr.. Davis has
been a registered voter in Pittsburgh
and has cast his vote in elections there.
His home is Pittsburgh. In the light OF
this last fact, 1t does not seem likely
that the effort to upset his Pennsyl-
vania citizenship will come to much. 1t
casts, however, an interesting light on
the subtleties of Pennsylvania politics.

is to make eight successive daily glides

The Wright brothers made their first
strides toward mans conquest of the

Great Britain Saws mo-

Franco-BritiSh attempts to pave the
way to a five-power naval agreement at
London have apparently gone on the
rocks. Great Britain refuses to pay the
price demanded by France as quid
pro quo for reduction of French ton
mage figures. The price was some new
form of guarantee that, in case of
emergency, the armed support of Great
Britain would be at Frances disposal.
"Any further military commitments
are impossible" says the official state
ment issued by the British government
at the end of weeks intensive effort to
find way out of the conference i'm
passe. For Great Britain to attempt
any more of these" the communique
continues, would be tantamount to
tying her down to engage in military
operations without being able to con-
troll the situation from which they have
arisen" Then follows the concluding
and discriminating thrust in this his
toric manifesto: mo British govern
ment could undertake such commit
ments. It would be contrary to the
feeling of the whole British people"
Time, and probably hours, will tell
whether this British plain-speaking to
France has pronounced the doom of a
quintuple naval treaty. The London
conference has been on the brink of
collapse so often, only to avert it, that
this newest crisis in its checkered for
tunes may also be surmounted. But
there is now no escaping the definite
conclusion that French hopes of "se-
curity guarantees" from Great Britain
are ended. With their disappearance
automatically vanishes the entire
open-mindedness" of the American del
egation to consider a consultative pact.
Secretary stimson's platonic suggestions
on that score last week were carefully
predicated on the possibility that
Frances demand for security could be
satisfied in some other way" That
way is now barred.
The Labor governments declination
to give the French a blank check on
British blood and treasure springs from
a variety Of causes. It is on all fours
with Mr.. Snowden's attitude at The
Hague reparations conference last Sum-
mer, when the chancellor of the ex-
chequer proclaimed British unwilling
ness to dance endlessly to the French
tune in Europe. The British people are
thoroughly sick and tired of war. They
have incessant and burdensome re-
minders of it in their crushing income
tax. They are resolved to have no more
of it, as far as it can humanity be
warded of. They are adamant in their
determination, at any rate, not to mort
gage the future by pledging themselves
! to fight other peoples battles.
Last nights pronunciamento from No
10 Downing street contains direct
though yelled, reminder to France Of
the security guarantees" she already
has. Britain declares that she will not
consider further" military commit
ments. The implication, which the
French will not misunderstood, refers
to the bulwarks France possesses in the
League covenant and the Locarno
| treaty. Both of these pacts impose
upon Great Britain obligations OF which
France would be the beneficiary IN GER
tain contingencies. Paris is no Longer
In any doubt that John Bull has de-
cided not to add to these obligations.
