MORE SANITY NEEDED IN OUR
POLITICAL CONVENTIONS.

THE nominating of candidates for the Of
/ flee of president OF these United States
BY the two major parties IS wonderful
thing to contemplate. Since the June con-
ventions when the republican and demo-
cratic parties placed their candidates III
nomination, we have been wondering about
all the machinery, all the hip-hlp-hooray
and noise and confusion that enter into this
important task. One who listened to radio
reports of these conventions and who later
read newspaper accounts got an impression
of lot of ballyhoo, carefully staged and
noisy parades, with bands lined up Ill lob
bies waiting to spring into action at crltl-
cal moments, fist fights between delegates
that required the attention Of policemen,
men knocked down by resoundlng blows to
jaws by opposing delegates, and hundreds
of blue clad officers scattered through the
crowd to maintain order IN addition to
all this noise and confusion on the floor or
the convention, the galleries were filled
with hundreds of talkative spectators who
booed and Kissed and applauded the speak
ers according to whether they were pleased
or displeased with what was beng said. All
of the carefully planned parades and DEM
onstrations were for the sole purpose of at
tempting to stampede the convention III be
half Of some favored candidate.
One Of the candidates nominated at
these natural political conventions will be- III
the natural course Of events, the next pres
ident of the United States. And the choice
of that man will have profound Influence
OH the prosperity and welfare Of this
great nation on the prosperity and well
fare of hundred and twenty million people
And yet we nominate men for that super
lative office in the midst of catcalI, and
boos and hisses of noise and confusion, OF
fist fights and of demonstrations planned
in the hope Of stampedmg men out of their
calm and sober Judgment into excitement
and hvsteria. Isn't it all ridiculous and
tragic?

DAYS OF HAPPINESS-FOR SOME.

EVERYWHER in the United States it :
l. summer now. School is out, and the
small boy comes into his own.
Is there any such complete irrespon-
sible happiness anywhere IN the world as
that of the schoolboy in the long summer
vacations We can't remember that we
ever were completely happy except i'll those
two or three years each side of twelve when
we had nothing much to do aside from few
chores around the place, from June to Sep
tember.. How many things boy of that
age finds to do in the summer, swimming,
fishing, berry picking, baseball, or just
loafing around in the fields and woods with
his dog. The country boy has it all over his
city cousins III summer. He can go bare
foot without losing caste; he is not always
running into policeman to stop him from
having good time; he doesn't have to comb
his hair and put on a clean collar every lit
tie while and if there : hole IN his shirt
or his breeches nobody worries much about
it, least of all the boy himself.
The small boy isn't old enough to III
derstand the troubles that worry his elders
He hasn't had enough experience to realize
that life, for most people, between the ages
of fifteen and, say, sixty, is succession o
more or less tragic emergencies. School, O
course, is an awful nuisance, and keeps hin
from being completely happy nine or tel

vice and suggestions of those who would
destroy where they are helpless to construct.
Our present times, which cry out for
sanity and steadiness, are ideally suited to
the purpose Of both the conscious hypocrite
and the unconsciously prejudiced But we
believe that those strong threads of common
sense, of fairness and understanding which
have been woven into the enduring fabric
of American citizenship will prove Of suf-
ficient quality to withstand these assaults.
