have haif to solve their problems u.s they
arose. There have been training schools
for men in which the opnirtunity was
offered to master what bail bon learned
by others through hard experience.
A spr -iul coure for women was of
fered to students nt Itrn Mawr College
during the war. for tin- reaxui that
large numbers of women were going into
war work and trained women were
needed to supervise them.
The announcement thnt John P

HELPING McADOO
-: Wc
ORD comes from Frenih Lick
Springs that the lender of Tam
many I In 11 is conspiring with others to
prevent the nomination of Mr. McAdoo
in San Francisco.
The Tammany lender seems to be
tinnware that his opposition to a can
didate is sure to win support for tha't
candidate. There is a large section of
the Democratic party which can be
counted on tn oppose any thing which
Tnmmnny favors and to lavor any tiling
thnt Tammany opooses. When Tam
many swung to Champ Chirk in the
Baltimore convention Mr. P.ryan. who
hnd been voting for Clark up to thnt
moment, took the platform and de
nounced Tanunnuy nnd its Wall street
supporters and shifted his vote to
Wilson.
Mr. McAdoo, who lias been say ing
that he is tint a candidate, may find
himself demanded by the delegates in
order that they mav once more rebuke
Tammany Hall No one believes tlint
ie would refuse the nomination and
many believe th.it he is the man slated
by the powers m control to be nnnieil

WHEAT AND BREAD PRICES
THE cessation nf federal iontn.1 of

the wheat nnd lonseipn utly the brtnd

first of all, the passing of the govun

wheat, established during the war a a

Few things bring dome more strongly
to the average man the general increase
in prices tnnn to consider the pic.ent
and the war price of whent (ompnred to
the days when people spoke of "dollar
wheat" with bated breath and consul .
red it a prlte beyond which the grain
could never rise.
The I'nited States Grain Corporation
was one of the most beneficent and sue
CMful Institutions established by the
eovcrnment during tho war. Without
It wheat would Hnve oarcd iar bpyond
the rench of he average purse nnd there
would have been unlimited speculation
nnd corresponding hardship.
Just whnt tho course of the when!

former market conditions are' estab

there are several important obstacles in

people to close the wheat pit during the

but It is up to thoo who control It to

SENATE AND PRESIDENCY
HOSTILK critiis hnc been say ing
that the nomination of Mr. Hard
ing was brought about by u group of
senators who wished to lift the Senate
into u position of dominance in the gov
ernment. The evident c. howewr. does not sup
port the cliaige. Ii H'sts upon' the fact
that Mr. Hurdmg is a member of the
Senate and upon his support by certain
Irlendly colleagiiis.
The situation is interesting, not lie
cause of tiny effort of the senntors to
magnify tiieir office, but because it has
lifted the hoodoo which for vears has
prevented the nomination of nnv member
of the Senate for the presidency.
Conventions hae been in the habit
of nominating governors or members of
the House of Representatives or former
senntors. The nearest pat'allel to the
nomination of Harding occurred in 1SMI.
when Cnrfield was named. He was n
member of the House of Representu
tiw's. but a few months before the ctm
M'lition met he had been elected to the
Senate to take his seat in Issl. He
was nominnted bemuse tl (invention
was unable to agree on any one else.
Fight years later ISciijnmin Harrison
was nominated, but he bad been out of
the Senate for more than a year before
the convention met. Cleveland neer
had any legislative experience. Neither
hud Taft nor Wilson. Ho rt had

was nominated. Hayes served one term

CONVENTION AFTERMATH
i
Pennsylvania's Part In the Na
tlonal Gathering Tho Story of
Her Fealty to Sprout A Vain
Search for a Flaw In
Her Armor
ny OKOuVin NOX rfrvOAlN
TIII3 part that Pennsylvania and Oov
ernor Sproul played In the Repub
lican Nntlonnl Convention Is now his
tory. Hut It Is mighty interesting
history.
There was n vast amount 4tf criticism
of Pennsylvania and her course inithe
lust two convention dnys. None of it
was justified.
It came from lenders V)f delegations
who were fighting for n lost candidate
and they knew it. They were angry,
disappointed nnd disgruntled because
Pennsylvania did not smash her line
and destroy her chances In n vain effort
to pnt their man to tiie front when tlyy
hud no chnncc of success.
GKNKUAL LEONARD WOOD was
the popular favorite for the nomi
nation. Judged by gallery sentiment.
The Wood people were the most bitter
critics of Pennsylvania.
If Pennsylvania had turned In for
I Wood on the fourth ballot, when he was
' leading the ticm, there would have been
no need for nine tmllots," said nn nr
dent Wood follower.
Anil that was the sentiment. I dis
coxcred. that generally prevailed in the
Wood camp. Hut it wns an erroneous
one.
If Pennsylvania, at any time before
her delegation broke up on the ulnth
ballot, had attempted to swing her vote
to any particular candidate she would
,mXl' dissipated her strength and gained
nothing dut the derision of the practical
politicians, tne iieiiuncintion of every
other 1 iinilidiite and tho merited charge
that io ernor Sproul's interests were
in the hands of n lot of nmnteurs.
The combination opposed to Wood
was so powerful nnd teniicions that
Pi niisyhaiiia tould not hnve altered the
1 cult at 11 in stage.
Besides, only u fraction of the Pen'n
syhimia delegation were for Wood: the
test would have been divided up among
other candidates,
BFCAI'SF Pennsylvania declined to
desert Governor Sproul and sacri
fice herself upon the nltar of some other
and, as would hnve been demonstrated,
unsuccessful candidate, the charge wns
once or twim made that the Governor's
interests were mismanaged.
Nothing is further from the truth.
The fiet is that Governor Sproul rnn
net k and neck with Senator Hardingiis
the final choice in the now famous mid
night confcii nee nt the Blnckstone oji
Friday, up Io n certain point.
Only one mistake was made, mid it
oc. lined ut this point. As to the chnr
m ter of that mistake, not more than
.'hi If 11 dozen men nre aware of it, and it
is for them to disclose just whnt it was.
Thoe 111 the Blnckstone inidiiiifbt, con
f.ience were nearly all personnl friends
ami sinatorial associates of Senator
Hauling. They knew Governor Sproul
personally but not Intimately.
That fact had a potent inlluenee upon
their final decision. Moreover, It was
iiigued that Untiling had been con
spicuous 111 the convention of 11)1 L' nnd
was nine widely known over n greater
poitimi of the country than Sproul.
this may nine been a specious argu
ment, dut it carried weight. It wus
admitted that Sproul was a perfectly
safe man. big and upstanding, nnd the
acknowledged leader after the "Big
Four." as originally mentioned, weie
out of the way.
But the senatorial junta preferred
one of their own colleagues to any out
s.dcr. Tims the die was cast for Hard
ing. TVFN nfter a decision had been
-' tea. lied the combination was doubt
ful of l heir ability to nominate Hard
ing. Some one of the number, or some
one delegated to do the work, staged
the final piny.
It was nuess.iry for sonie'state with
u good-sized dt legation to lend the break
to Hauling.
Kansas was .elected as the scape
goat. It had twenty votes, seven more
than Connecticut, which led the bieak
from Low den.
The bnit of the i, .. pie.ideiitinl nom
ination ou the Harding ticket for Gov
ernor Allen was d.ingdd before the eyes
of the id legation. It wus snapped 'up
instantly.
Allen was popular. The delegation
dad consistently d. In 1 ten votes for
Wood. Wood wo. out of it. Lowden
was on tlie sbding board. Wlint more
natuial tliiui that Kansas, the great
Middle West, should have the vice pres
idency? But Cooli.lge had been slated even
while the .Inker over Allen was being
coiisiiiiiuiati d.
Kansas bioke away with n great roar
and paiiule ,,r Hauling ns agreed to.
1'hen the manipulators gave her tlie
grand laugh uud turned in for Coolidge.
TpROM beginning to end the friends of
-- the other candidates, excepting those
of Hauling and Poindexter mid nieiii

Recent experiences of Caruso savor

A few Democratic blunders In San
Francisco may help Harding to make
his platform,
. In th mntter of the Tageblatt the
President may forgive, but the public
on't forget.
On the Llttle-Kiid-of-the-Horn
ticket, how about Rurleson nnd Vol
stead? Public Interest In the near-beer
strike is probably about half of 1 per
cent.
The hnrmless. sparkler is going to

Philadelphia ntflenst.
Perhaps Borah nnd Johnson arc
merely accepting the platform with

Harding's manager wnnts n

When the cnndldnte has put life

platform we may consider the campnlgn

the provisions of the Lever act nre just

The Chicago convention nt least
demonstrated that straw votes don't
show how the political wind blows.
Harding ilum t win in any of them.
The fnrt that Senator Harding once
played a sliphorn in n town band sliould
not be held ngnlnst him. It wns merely
one of the indiscretions of youth.
Caruso robbed of 'his jewels. Ca

Still another argument for the in

the platform. ,
The pint form is perhaps less of a
declaration than n compilation of themes
to he elucidated by the candidate. The
substitution or "simple for complex tax
laws," for Institute, affords it line op
portunity 'for a brave man with con

QUEEN MARY OF RUMANIA
TELLS RULES OF THE GAME
Says the Chief Implements of the Queen Trade Are Courage
and Courtesy and Smiles, Smiles, Smiles
Bucharest, June 1(1. ' It is some
thing of u trade to be a queen." says
Queen Mary of Rumania, "nnd the
chief implements of the trade nre cour
age and dilutes."
Sde wns proving her couitesy by es
saying to answer for your correspond
ent the question of how to be n success
ful queen. Her views are those of an
ex'pert.
"You must know bow to smile," she
said. "Smile when your head is aching,
smile when you tire ready to drop from
fatigue and worry, smile when every
thing is going wrong, .smile at good
news and at bad news.
"Always keep yourself Interested in
others. The habit grows uud i. bene
ficial. "Affect nn interest though you have
it not. A bore mny strain your pa
tience, but it selves no good purpose to
let him know it. If you make him think
his conversation is vital, who knows?
It mny become so.
"It is a part of the queen trade to
think not of yourself but of our coun
try. If n man fights for his country,
why should not n woman occasionally
lie bored for her country ,? A good lis
tener makes fiiemls.
"As' you say in your country, per
sonal (troubles are no ice-cutters."
She smiled. "It is not pait of a
queen to profess ignorance." slip "went
on. "I never own up when I don't
know a thing; I simply make it n point
to go and find out."
Naturally that kind of queen rules.
Ask anybody in Rumania, peasant,
peer or politician, the answer is tlie
same. It is tlie queen who rules Ru
mnnin. Qelieu Mary is the scene shifter, the
silken bnnd, the power behind the throne
of Wing Ferdinand every minute. Since
she cnine out from Kiigliind, nearly
twenty-live years ago, she has been
learning tliis trade of being queen, nnd
now she lias been at It for more than
five yenrs in place of Carmen Sylva,
and she bus made it her business to
know her country nnd her people.
She nsplres to be queen in every
sense, mid she i. quite as willing to take
the duties of tlie job us well ns Its
pleasures. As for its 'pleasures, she
gets all the fun she can out of it,
dresses us well ns she can to enhance
her beauty, which is famous, "If n
queen goes iiiouimI shabby mid icd
nosed, i( makes a great deal of differ
ence, I think," she snb. "It is not
expected of us, mid so why shoudl"'l do
it? 1 felt rather mm tided when in
Paris just nfter the armistice ami I hnd
to attend receptions frequented by all
the beauties of the woild, and wns not
able to wear some of my splendid jewels,
which had bceil sent to Moscow. Just
to think that I bad four or five crowns,
some of them Inherited fro'm my Itiis
slan mother, mid not a one to wear in
Paris!"
That the queen is quite ns willing to
shoulder the duties of queendom Is tes
tified to by thousands of men and worn...,
who met her during the Germnn necu-
piitlon of Rumania

tlie sninc city of .Tnssy this fact was
discovered, and when the mayor wonted
to get the snow cleaned off the streets
be timidly nppiied to the queen for
help. "Why, bless you, of course I
will help," said the queen, nnd she led
the gang of snrwshovelers. After this
whenever medicines nnd instruments
were needed in the hospitnls, or extra
nurses, the queen wns called upon.
Once there wns a brend famine. Tbe
queen got her own private motorenrs
scouring tlie country for flour and then
she organized the bakeries of tlie city.
She did the same when there wns n wood
nnd coal famine. "As a child I was
taught to live for others," said the
queen in one part of the conversation
with the Associated Press correspond
ent. "So whatever 1 do I do natu
rally, without effort. As n little girl
I was told thnt this wns part of the
ttade."
"Sliould the queen get n touch of
internationalism and go on strike some
day, that would be a hard dav for
Rumania." said, laughingly, Tnke'.Ton
escu, one of her admirers, n man re
gnrded ns the keenest minded lnvvver,
