THAT CLOAK OF ISOLATION SIX years ago today the American public read with comparative indif ference the cabled accounts of an as sassination in a town with an unpro nounceable name. The victim was the Archduke Francis Ferdinand, heir ap parent of the Austro-IIungarian throne; the place of his death was the Bosnian capital, Sarajevo. With the j-uling dynasty of the Hapsburgs we were se renely unconcerned. In the imbroglio of the distant Bnlknns we were proudly uninterested. Later, amid rr world cataclysm, it was proved that our cloak of isolation was it sham. It might be profitable to day for Americans who believe that their great republic can be divorced from this planet to examine that new mantle of beclusion which some propose to wear. Is the present lining more durable than the old? A SUBSOLAR NOVELTY ONE man has been found who ac tually yearns to be Vice President of the United States. He is former Senator James Hamilton Lewis, who has been killing time in Chicago since Medill McCormlck nudged him out of hfa seat nt the recent senatorial elec tion. Mr. Lewis is running his own cam paign nt San Francisco. He is willing to accept the vice presidency without any of the gestures of brave abnegation or any of the groans of pretended martyr dom that mention of the office brings from other ambitious politicians. And since a vice president has little to do but walk around nnd nppear beautiful Jim Ham probably feels that America was discovered by Columbus, that the Revo lutionary War was fought, that the Dec laration of Independence was signed and the Constitution written to put him in a job for which he is ideally fitted. But Democrats know too well how to frustrate even the most ambitious plans of Providence. They will not nominate Mr. Lewis. He dresses too well. By his spats nnd his ties he .sug gests the gnyetles of Ktirope and carries with him dim, disquieting suggestions of foreign entanglements. Bryan deplores Jim Ham and teaches the West and South to regard him with dislike nnd buspicion. VOTES AND TENNESSEE IT WAS not like Kepublicnn lenders of the old ilavs to Mart something that they couldn't or wouldn't finish. That, however, is whnt men like Mr. Penrose have been doing in relation to the general question of woman sufTrns"'. A Democratic governor in Tenncee lifts called a special session of n Demo cratic Legislature for August 0 and It is vlrttiull certain that the state will ratify the Authonv amendment and thus give the fratii hi-e to all properlv quali fied women in the I'nited States Pro gressive sentiment in the H publican pnrty has been the mainstay of the women's cause. It hus been clear for ll long time that general suffrage unuld come and come soon, and this a- be cause of the support which was ac corded tin- suffrage principle in Re publican Legislutuns. But the powers In the (I. O. P. loit interest toward the last. They gave the suffragists only half-hearted help in Dt'luware. The Republicans built a ship. They rlll permit the Democrats to launch it and claim the glory for the whole work. A FLYING TANK WHEN the war was at its height queer stories enme from the French bnttlefrout of n Hying tank sent across the lines by the Germans and brought down by a lucky shell from an nnti nircraft gun. The machine proved to be an airplane with metnl wings, power fully engltied aud. of course, fire-proof. It wns a plane of the same tjpe, made In Qermnny. that Hew from Omaha to Lancaster on Sunday in the longest jump ever made over American soil by a Lenvicr-than-alr machine. The "Hying tank" Is a monoplane that can reel off about one hundred and fifty tulles nn hour in favorable weather. Until recently it was believed that air planes of metal couldn't be madu to fly. It used to be said that steamships of Iron certainly would sink. Necessity Is tha mother of invention The (icrmans, derived of the sort of fabric and chem fcMls necessary in the manufacture of airplane wings, turned to tho mnuufac turn of this newest type of tiler. It is Fftkyihat the wings of the planes of the ntu'tjfiiue ore made of steel, It Is more likely, however, that they are made of ono of the aluminum alloys that hare been developed and extensively used of Into in the automobile industry. Unquestionably nn nil-metal flying machine represents a long stride for ward in tho science of aviation. The value of such machines in war ought to bo very great, slnco incendiary bullets devised to set fire to enemy planes have been tho main dependence of fighting aviators hitherto. What may come of the lljltic tank can be Imagined only if ono remembers that airplanes arc now nt n stage of development approximat ing that in which Robert Fulton left the steamboat. LODGE AND CUMMINGS DID WHAT WAS EXPECTED A "Keynote" Speech Must Be Special Pleading or It Will DIs- appoint Its Hearers IF OXE Is looking for nn exhibition of judicial temper and an appreciation of historical perspective one will not find it In' the "keynote" speech deliv ered in n political convention. Senator Lodge's speccn In Chicago was a bitter partisan arraignment of the Democrats, accompanied with boasting about what the Republicans had done. Homer S. Cummings's speech in San Francisco yesterday was just as parti san ns the speech of Senator Lodge. It boasted of what thf Democrats have done and denounced the Republicans for whnt they have not done. A nonpartisan speech in n political convention would create about as much sunrise ns would be caused In a court of justice if the defendant's attorney should ndmit the guilt of his client in the absence of convincing evidence. Special pleading seems to be ex pected in a political convention and during a political campaign, nnd the orators are very careful cot to disap point the expectations of their audience. When Senator Lodge denounced the President the Republicans applauded. When Mr. dimming prnied the Presi dent the Democrats applauded. No one expected Mr. dimming to denounce Mr. Wilson nnd no one expected Sena tor Lodge to praise him. Mr. dimming was most inclusive in his enumeration of the achievements of the Democratic party. For example, he boasted of the passage of the Adamson law. It is notorious that the passage of that law was the result of the most abject surrender of the nntlonnl admin istration on the eve of n presidential election of which there is nny record. It wns passed under the threats of the lnbor leaders, and those leaders sat in the gallery of the Senate and the House with their stopwatches to see whether nction wns taken before the time limit of their ultimatum hod expired. If the Democrats of the present day arc proud of their surrender and are ready to boast of their connection with a piece of class legislation they are made of very different stuff from the men who founded the party and used to be men tioned with high praise by every Demo cratic campaign orator. Then, too, Mr. Cummins inltetl that the Democratic party was respon sible for the passage of the Federal Rc erve Bank act "against the opposition of the Republican leaders." But he distorted the facts, of which he cannot be ignorant. We would have had a Federal Re serve banking system in some form long ago that is, a I'nited States bank if it hnd not been for the course of Andrew Jackson in destroying the old United States Bank and stirring up unreason ing aud unintelligent hostility to its restoration in nny torm. The Democratic party for seventy -live years had opposed every suggestion for a United States hank. They talked about the money power and the surrender of the govern ment to the great capitalists as if that were what was intended when the Re publicans proposed a ccntrnl bauking system under federal control. The Aldrich Monetary Commission, a Republican body, made an exhaustive study of the banking systems of the world and r commended the creation of n central bank with branches through out the country. But because Senator Aldrich was in touch with the banking Interests nnd knew something about banking he nnd his report were de nounced bv nil the Democrats nnd by all the petty demagogues in the Repub lican party, and it was impossible to persuade a majority of Congress to act. But the time was getting ripe for nc tion when the Democrats came into power. A generation or more of edu cational campaigning by the Republi cans hud about broken down the hos tility to a United States bank started and fostered by the Democruts. There is no disposition anywhere to take from Mr. Wilson any of the credit unit is his due for urging the passage of a Federal Reserve bankiug act, but to call it a Democratic act because the Democrnts happened to be in power nt flu- time is to pervert the facts of his tory. The Republicans did not oppose its passage. They opposed certain im practical features of the act as origi nally drawn nnd they co-operated with the IJemocrats in maKing me uiu wuris nble. And the net in Its liunl form wns bused substantially on the recommen dations f the Aldrich Monetnry Com mission. The chief difference lies in its creation of a group of branch bnnks under the control of u single bqard iu stend of a central bank with n group of branches. Yet Mr. dimming would have dis appointed his Democratic audience if he hnd not claimed pnrty credit for n bank ing act for which his party is only ac cidentally responsible. His remarks on the pence treaty and the Leagiic-of-Natious covenant are open to less criticism thnn some other pnrts of his address. Tho Republicans by their platform, framed to catch the votes of tho friends nnd the foes of the treaty and the league, let down the bars, and Mr. Cummings would have failed in his duty ns a party leuder If he had neglected to go through the opening thus made for him. lie raises the Issue fairly and squarely of the ratification or rejection of the treaty, and he InsiHts nn its ratifica tion nnd on the indorsement of the course of the President. What he snys about the League-of-Nations covenant is exactly what has been said by its friends in the Republican pnrty in nnd out of Congress. lie cites the indorse ment of it by many Republican lenders and the demand of Kepublicnn plat forms iti the past for nn association of nations which should make war diffi cult, if not impossible. Although it is not his purpose, the effect of this cita tion is to exhibit to the country the friendly attitude of the party which be Is trving to convict of Hostility We shall not try to uerenu tno league njntjttiof the Chicago piattorm. In- tnis newspaper couuemnru if tor wardicu as boon as it was mndd deetwy its k4 public. It .was a sop offered to Hiram Johnson nnd it does not express the views of the Republicans, Whether the San Francisco conven tion will be forced to adopt n compro mise plank on the league in order to keep in line the Democratic senators who voted for the Lodgo reservations hns not yet been disclosed. But there are hundred of thousands of Republi cans who are expecting Senator Hard ing to turn his back on the- straddle of the Chicngo convention nnd to make a league plank of his own iu his speech of acceptance which will commit "him to the support in the name of the Re publican pnrty of the general plftn out lined in the covenant, with only such modifications ns seem necessary to com mand the support of n Sctintn left free to express it own views unhindered by the wishes of the man who shared In drafting the original document. Senator Harding knows as well ns, if not better thnn, Mr. Cummings that the treaty would have been ratified long ago if their loyalty to the President had not prevented certain Democratic senators from voting for It with rcsf vntions intended to protect American interests. If the Republican nominee docs what Is expected of him he can take the league issue out of the enm paign and make the difference between tho two parties on it of as little moment as the difference between tweedledum and tweedlcdee. THE INEVITABLE McADOO CLEARLY the lightning nt San Fran cisco is feeling nround for Mr. Me Adoo. At this writing the President's son-in-law appears destined to inherit the assorted woe and honors of n Democratic naminatlon for the presi dency. If he is chosen it will menn that the party has flouted Bryan at last and that it ha found gumption enough to ignore Cox. Palmer, Murphy, Reed nnd all the other provincials who went to the convention with hobbies rnthcr than with the sort of knowledge which can come only with n national view and national experience. With Cox or Meredith ns n running mate McAdoo could give Mr. Harding a pretty good fight. Ho has been good to labor. Railway men were never so well off ns they were when he con trolled the road, and it isn't too much to suppose that the unions generally would be asked by their leaders to fol low the lead of the rail brotherhoods in supporting him. Cox ns a vice presi dential candidate could lure the "wet" voters. But Meredith, now secretary of agriculture, may be drafted to show the farmers of the country that they can have n friend in Washington. Mere dith is of and for the people who till the soil. McAdoo's reputation for busi ness acumen would give solidity nnd prestige to the Democratic national ticket. But nil is fair in political cam paigns nnd the delegates nt San Fran cisco cannot nominate the one likely man in their camp without knowing that the country would soon ring with cries of derision aimed at the Crown Prince of Wilsonism. The President himself knows this nnd it Is safe to assume that he has opposed McAdoo from the first. But between McAdoo and the Bryans, Palmers, Reeds and Murphvs Democrnts hove only one choice if they wish to provide even the imitation of n real campaign. RURAL DELUSIONS DOCTOR FL'RBUSH'S vivid picture of tho dangers of vacation time in the country is somewhat shocking to untnraed poetic imaginations. "The country pump, unprotected from con tamination round about it. has been condemned," declares the realistic health director "time and again. The haphaz ard disposal of garbage, unprotected from the disease-bearing fly, together with the mosquito-breeding rain barrel, all add to the objections lodged against the insanitary farmhouse. "About 2." per cent of the typhoid fever cases which occur in the city every fall are caused." he adds, "by infec tion among vacationists." By way of cheerful contrast the public is invited to consider "our congested sections," where "the water supply, sewage and garbage disposal are under expert san itary direction." Thnt Philndelphlans who can afford n holiday among delusive green fields, posies in which hay fever lurks, or amid sylvan surrounding in which milk nnd honey flow too fnst to be sterilized will be seriously deterred from such rnsh ventures i unlikely, nnd yet in Doctor Turbush s repudiation of the bucolic glamour there is much sound sense and not a little of the philosophy of consolation. The fact is that there 1 nothing the matter with the country except the cltv. which hns a greedy way of ab sorbing the fresh fruits nnd vegetables, the fresh fish and dairy products, nnd of improving on nature in the care it takes of her bounty. True, as this lat est henlth bulletin concedes, there nro numerous lovely and untainted spots safe and snnitary for the holiday seek er. But the city in summer is actually not so bud ns it seems. Deserted, in certnin sections, it may be tint nnd sticky in nil of them, scorch ing in the heat waves reflected from remorseless brick and Htoue. The nasti est medicine, however, is often the most In netlcently effective. It may be pleas ant for the stay-at-homes, as they livgicnicnlly swelter, to cultivnto this helpful thought.

A. Mitchell Palmer Political Infelicity sees Democratic e. tory ahead, "even though I should not be nominated." Aside from his doubtful gift of prophecy, one wonders whether to nscribo his in felicity of expression to a luck of mod esty or mere Inability to say exactly what he means.

Progressive Movement Was the Greatest In American Hlai tory Some Noted Old Parties By GEORGE NOX McCAIN WITH Senator Hiram Johnson hold ing n secret session with himself out in California, endeavoring to decide whether or not ho will lead or aid a new movement, nnd Senntor LnFollctto on n sick-bed trying to figure out how ho enn revenge himself oil the Republi can pnrty with the aid of tho Nonpar tisan League, the question of n third party i's enjoying n slestn. Pennsylvania has, somehow or other, usually occupied a front new in these nlovcmcnts. She cither furnished n meeting place, or a enndidate, or gave tho outsiders o reassuring boost with her vote. Third parties have never been suc cessful in national politics. Their mission Is to help some one else onto the uphobtorcd sent of power. Ustinlly they nrc the children of disappointed nmbltion paraded lu the garb of public demand. IN 1S2S Jnckson's followers dropped the word Republican from their title nnd came out squarely ns Democrats. That wns the beginning of the modern Democratic pnrty. The first mllltnnt, rcnl third politi cal party to appear in American poll tic wns the nntl-Mnsonic in 1827. In 1.S2S it held Its first state convention and put n ticket for governor of New York in the field. The party died a lingering death and finally Joined tho opposition to General Jackson, which took the nnmc of Whig. This wns during the period when Jack on wns mftklug hi vengeful campaign against tho United States Bank of Philadelphia. THE Abolitionists were the successors of the Anti-Masons ns n third pnrty. A handful of nntl-slnvjry workers met in 18.'i0 in the village of Wnrsnw, N. Y.. and organized n "Liberal" party. They demanded the abolition of slavery and nomlnnted for President James G. Blrney, nnd for Vice President Frnncis Le Moyne, of Pennsylvania. The ticket received nearly .100,000 vote, split the clectornl college, nnd the Whig candidates, Taylor nnd Fill more, won the prize. Four years later this third party, then known as Free Sollers, met in Pittsburgh nnd ngain put n nntionnl ticket in the field : for President, John P. Hale ; for Vice President, George W. Julian. It hnd shot its bolt, for it polled 100, 000 votes less in the country than it hnd done four years before. A STEADY nnd increasing growth of immigration, particularly from Ire land nnd Germany, culminated in New York city in the organization of n polit ical pnrty whose motto was, "America for Americans." They opposed tho election to office of nny foreign-born. It wns strong enough to elect James Harper, one of the firm of publishers, ns mayor ot -cw lorn nnu scnu several members to Congress, The movement seemed to be dying out when there was n sudden recrudescence in 1S."2. This time it assumed a relig ious nspect. The members were or ganized into lodges and had nn elnbo rnte ritunl. It was called the "Know Nothing" party, because Its members when questioned ns to the movement gave the invariable reply, "I know nothing." Its official name was the American. Again Philadelphia figured conspicu ously. The national convention of the American' party wns held here on Feb runry 22, ISolJ. Maine, Vermont and South Cnrolinn were the only states not sending delegations. While their ticket with Millard Fill more, of New York, nnd Andrew J. Morrison, of Tennessee, for Vice Presi dent, wns defeated that year, they se cured five senators and about nineteen representative votes in Congress. THE Civil War put nn cud to it and nt its close there nmc whnt was known as the Greelev, Brown and Buck alow campaign in Pennsylvania. It was in 1872 that the "Anytliing-to-beat-Ornnt" movement crystallized in political form They called the hero of Appomattox "1'seless Silent" Grnnt. They styled themselves Libernl Repub licans or Democrats, as best suited, nnd nomtnnrtd Horace Greeley for Presi dent; B. drntz Brown, of Missouri, for Vice President, nnd Charles R. Bucka lew, a Democratic state senator from Columbia county, for governor. Greeley hnd long had an itch for tho presidency. His bolt of the Republican organization induced the Democrats to Indorse him The ticket got up a blind ulley nnd stayed there. There were several other nondescript tickets in the field that year. Charles O'Conor wns nqminnted for the presi dency in this city with one of the Snuls burys, of Delaware, for Vice Piesidcnt under the iaption of Straight Demo cratic. Disgruntled Democrats who gagged at the Greiley dose to the number of 20,000 swallowed the O'Conor bait. THE first appearance of Prohibition ns n third pnrty was made in this same ' '.i wlnn James Black, of Pennsyl vania "Temperance." polled 1032 votes in the stnte. In 1S7 Green Clny Smith for President nnd It. T. Stewnrt, of Ohio for vice President, got in Penn sylvania 1,110 votes. The party made consistent gnlns from this period. The famous Grceiibnrk pnity wns the outgrowth of the panic of 1S7.1. Its If rl rs demanded nn issue of paper cur ren y and lots of it. The only reserva tion was that the issue would be "based upon the resources of the rmintrj." Then came in succession the Union Lnbor ticket, headed by Streetcr, of P'.nois, In 1868, the frazzled remnant "' Henry George'H party; the Farmers' Alliance, Populist, and the Socialist Labor tickets. The banner year for "offside" tickets, I rior to 1012, when there were eight, mis lSllO, when no less than seven dlf f lent ones, outside the regular Demo- aiic and Republican, presented can- i'dates. There were the McKinley i ituen ticket. Flee Sliver, Prohibition, 1 'topic's, Socialist Labor, Nntlonnl nnd I fl'i rsonian. Tho highest of the "also rnns" was Joseph Levering, I'rohibi- oiist, who received 18,274 votes, nnd lie lowest Charles II. Beutjey, Nation al, who got 870 in this state. Sj great wns the political and general '.i.- it mat it wns sum timt if a red . riitig had been put up some one would nc voted for it. For tho most part the men who were named for President nnd Vice President ,i Uets other than the regular have long been forgotten. THE great progressive movement beaded by Theodore Roosevelt in 1012 prescntcil the most serious third party menace thnt any party had ever known. It polled 4.121,008 votes. In that year the Socialist vote reached n totnl of 81)0,002, more than doubling its vote of the previous cam paign. In each Instanco Eugeno V. Debs was Its candidate for President. Ho is again its candidate this year. It will be Iftercstlng to note this party's returnsSlj. tho November elec tion v SHORT CUTS Frisky Frisco I The Democratic keynote Is a blue If Tennessee does not ratify the suffrage amendment it will not be for lack of urging. Well, anyhow, Mr, McAdoo has firovided the country with an interest ng guessing contest. In some direction prohibition hns shown a tendency to lift the dandelion out of the weed class. It is the Wilson policies and not the President who will "dictate" to the San Francfsco convention. If tho platform-makers succeed in putting in a dry plank Cox's Ohio record won't help him much.

Over the Republicans hung the threat of the picketing of Mr. Harding in ills peaceful Marlon home, where, McKlnley fashion, he is going to speak to visiting delegations from his front porch this summer and autumn. It would spoil the idyllic character of Mr. Harding's campaign to have fe male martyrs with banners lined up before his premises. So the Republicans nro likely to do also what the militants want. You sometimes wonder what the women will liuve to fight for when they get suffrage. But after you sec n na tional convention or two nnd renlize how little equnl suffrage really does for women politically, even in states whore equal suffrage is of long standing, you see that Miss Paul aud Mrs. Baker will have plenty to do all the rest of their lives. It does not mean much to have the right to vote if you have nothing or little to do with the naming of the candidates. Thut is whnt the public realized when It came to demnnd direct primaries. They do not help much, neither does tho right to votu help the women much. Nor tho presence of n few women delegates in the con entlou. Fight Masculine Privilege Masculine privilege is firmly estab lished and in n place where it is hurd to uproot it. That is in the minds of women themselves. Masculine privilego is not established in the minds of such women ns Miss Paul and Mrs. Baker. That is why they nre so effective nnd why the men politicians do not like them. The idea here is that Mr. McAdoo, if nominated by the Democrats, will get many women votes. It is not ex plained just why Mr. McAdoo appeals to the women voters of the West, but it is generally conceded that ho does. Per hups the story of ono distinguished Re publican editor here illustrates the point. He suid1 "I nm progressive. I don't like the Harding nomination, hut I was a di'lcgato to the Republican National Convention. I feel as if 1 am obligated. I shall vote for Harding, but my wife Is n horn rebel. She is, moreover, under no obligations. If Mr. McAdoo is nominated, she will vote for him, even thoiigh she has always been a Republican." The women nre freer than men.

It is not easy to depnrt from the custom of a lifetime or grieve friends nnd nssocintCH by breaking witli your party. But women, nt least for a while, have no such difficulties to contend with, nnd unless the pnrtlen tnke them into their nctivitics more fully thnn they hnve done this yenr, tho parties will provide for their own destruction. Instead of having n mere fringe of independents to deal with, tho parties will hnve half tho voters without pnrtisnn ties. And the Rcpublicnn editor here who wns nlso n delegate to the Chicago con vention tells n story which indicntes the progressive attitude townrd Hnrdlng which the Rcpublicnn candidate will have to meet. "When it came to next to the last ballot at Chicago." he says, "the Kansas delegates wanted to vote solidly for Harding nnd raise their ban ner, so they nsked me to be so good ns to vote for him just thnt once and I snld I would, provided I might vote for some one else Inter. I snid I would get on the bnndwngon if I might get on the henrse iu the next ballot. So I voted for Harding on that ballot and voted for Hoover on the final ballot." Worries of tlio Trained Seal An amusing story is going around here nbout the difficulties of one of the trnincd scnls nt Chicngo. This particu lar trained seal was Senor Ibnuez. the Spanish novelist, who wns covering the Rcnublicnn convention for some syndicate of newspapers. Senor Ibnuez does not spenK or understand English. Ho does not know nnvthinir nbout American politics. Therefore his views upon it would senrcely Interest the American public. To provide against these deficiencies, he was provided with BOLSHEVISM What It Is : The Ilemedy for It FIVE FREE LECTURES UNDEll THE AUSPICES OF PHILADELPHIA CHAPTER, KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS by David Goldstein OF BOSTON, MA88.
