In the latter year he was the Democratic candidate for Governor of California, but was not elected. Ho received the party vote of the 8tatc Legislature in 1003 for United States Senator. Appointed a member of the Inter state Commerce Commission by Presi dent Roosevelt in 1005. later becoming chairman, Mr. Inne was serving In that capacity when he was made Secre tary of the Interior. Became Known as Progressive During his service on the Interstate Commerce Commission he earned the reputation of being n progressive. His decisions In the railway cases were said to have been almost Invariably pleasing to men of advanced ideas. He favored for years n national corporation com mission similar to the Interstate Com merce Commission with power to regulate all bjslnesa enterprises en gaged In interstate commerce as the most effective remedy for trust evils. He also advocated a commission form of government for Alaska. He was elected a member of the permanent In ternational Railway Commission, or ganized in 1010 at the International Railway Congress in Berne, Swlticr land. In 1016 Mr. Lane headed the Ameri can delegates at a joint conference with high commissioners from Mexico, as a result of which a protocol was signed at Atlantic City and United States troops were withdrawn from that country. When the United States entered tho war In 1017. Secretary Lane, in a number of public speeches, outlined the country's purposes nnd urged business men to show "sacrifices as worthy as those of the men on their way to the trenches." In numerous addresses In behalf of the Liberty Loans he declared the defeat of the United States was "unthinkable" and that the Govern ment was determined to see the war fought to a finish. Aided Returning of Troops 'When peace came he devised plans for the employment of returning troops, urged Congress to federalize the Ameri canization of the foreign-born, aided in the reconstruction of France and other war-torn nations and advocated immediate passage of a bill to give farms to soldiers. He was also active is the Council for National Defense and the American Red Cross. Secretary Lane was a keen supporter ot the League of Nations covenant and advocated ratification of the Peace Treaty of Versailles. In the summer of 1010 Secretary Lano recommended to the President the calling of a conference of representa tives of American capital, labor and In dustry to dlscubs economic problems. The National Industrial Conference, of which Mr. Lane was made chairman, was the result. As chairman of the Railroad Wage Commission in 1018 he helped to settle a number of strikes and avert threatened walkouts. Mr. Lone married in 1803 Miss Anne Wlntermute, of Tacoma, Wash.

Death-Bed Wedding Is Turned to Joy Oontlnod from T One desperately 111 again. He believed that he was dying. Saturday morning the Rev.

Watson Boomed for Governorship Continued from Tare One Committee are to be invited and th New Willard Hotel will witness one of the largest functions of iU kind in years. Mr. Watson is beginning his fourth term. He has n number of friends in the Pennsylvania delegation. It is they who are planning to make the dinner a dunl demonstration. Chairman Ford ncy and Congressman Watson are both to be tho suojects ot eulogy and con gratulations. Out qf the rather prosaie fnctn related above can be gathered the purpose of Congrosuman Watson's friends. Thry will seize the occasion to suggest him as nn available candidnte for the nom ination for Governor next year. Friend of Penrose Significance is still further attached to tho idea by the fact that Congress man Watson is a personal fripnd of Senntor I'enrose. It is generally con ceded that his availability as congres sional timber was first suggested to the powers that be in Bucks nnd Mont gomery by the Fonior Senator. Senntor Penrose nnd Congressman Watson were classmates nt Harvard and in former years made several big game hunting trips to the West to gether. It matters very litt'e what the gen tleman from Bucks may think of the plans of his friends, those wise to the ways of politics will see in their action the definite launching of his boom the governorship. Unquestionably, should the Congress man recognize the call of bis friends his candidacy would Impart, as the label on the sauce bottle says, "zest and piquancy" to the approaching campaign.

Lane's much quoted tribute to Old Glory, delivered dur ing the World War, took the form of what the Flag said to hirn, ns follows : "Let me tell yon who I am. The work that we do is the making of the real flag. I am not the flag not at all I am but its shadow. I am whatever you mako me, nothing more. I am your belief in yourself, your dream of what a people ma) become. I live a changing life, n life of moods nnd passions, of heart breaks and tired muscles. Some times I am strong with pride, when men do nn honest work, fitting the rails together truly. Sometimes I droop, for then purpose has gone from me, nnd cynically I piny the coward. Sometimes I am loud, garish nnd full of that ego that blasts Judgment. But nlwnys I am all that you hope to be and have the courage to try for. "I am song and fear, struggle and panic, and ennobling hope. I am the day's work of tho weakest man, and the largest dream of the most daring.

I am the bat tle of yesterday and the. mistake of. tomorrow. I am the mjotery of the men who do without knowing why. I am the clutch of an lden and the reasoned purpose of resolution. I lm no more than what you believe me to be, and I am all that you be lieve I can be.

Some of these, like a visit Inst week of .Messrs. Cunningham and Brown, were not only unexpected but unher alded. Their presence bete was un known until after they had departed.

Now that the rules have been pub lished nnd tho appointments available for those who can master the tests, com petition will hhortly begin. Tho other nppolntlvo offices, princi pally fiscnl, havo been held up largely becauso the Federal fiscal year begins In June. Later on In that month va rious appointments in Pennsylvania In the revenue service may be anticipated. It enn be said on very excellent au thority that Postmaster Thornton will bo permitted to finish out his term with out molestation unless ho is dropped under charges. This will be n sore disappointment to local political leaders, who havo been confidently anticipating the appointment of one of their number to this very In fluential place. Tho appearance In Washington jes tcrday of Oscar Noll accompanied by Clerk of Courts Cunningham and Judgo Brown, of the Municipal Court, is rather significant. There Is nn undertone of gossip thnt Mr. Noll is using the Postofllcc ns a camouflage in his endeavor to obtain another appointment. The announcement thnt Governor Sprotil intended to visit the President shortly is not news to those lu the Gov ernor's confidence. Primarily his visit to Washington has to do with his position as chairman of the Executive Committee of the Gov irnors' Association of the various States. His business in this connection will lead him In call on President Hnrd lng and nt the same time he will also visit Senators Penrose nnd Knox. It has not as yet been decided whether Senator Crow, chairman of tho Repub lican State Committee, will nccom pany the Governor In his rounds of vis its nt the capital. Unless something arises within the next six months. Sneaker Robert S. Spanglcr will announce his candidacy ior lieutenant wovornor.

I2stablislt Economic Blocliado German opposition to the Polish in surgents who hove occupied most of Upper Silesia appears to linvo taken the form of nn economic blockndc. Men employed by German railroads have refused to transport food supplies other than milk into the district where the Poles have control, nnd the Reichs bank hns declined to send into Silesia the money to pay mlncrF for work done just prior to the Polish uprising. Berlin dispatches apparently indicate plans on the part of the iicrmans to enlist hunger ns an ally ngninst Adal bert Korfnnty's forces. Preparations for the meeting of the Sunreme Allied Council, possibly earlv next week, are going forward, mid an nouncement thnt the rouncil will hold n plenary session foreshadows n decision as to the allocation of upper Silesia be tween the Germans and Poles. It Is known the Al'ied Commission in Silesia is at work on a rpport to be laid before the l ouiicfl. and the recom mendations of the Council of Ambassa dors relative to the new frontier be tween Germany nnd Poland in the din- turbed area have been in the hands of the Allies for some time.

Foes Plan United Fight on Gompers Continued from Pnse One the larger unions, which take In whole Industries, uro hardly represented on that body. Two of the largest bodies In organized labor, the railrond brotherhoods nnd tile machinists, are not represented nt all on the executive body of the Federation. In the executive council the follow ing men represent larger unions; Mor ilson, of the typographers'; Mnhon, of the street car workers; Green, of the United Mine Workers; Tobin. of the teamsters, and Duffy, of the car penters. Of these only Green nnd Mnhon represent unions that take In whole Industries, Represent Old Crnfls The other members of the council represent the old-fashioned small crafts, Gompers, the cignrmakcrs ; Rlckert. the United Garment Workers, nn organization that has almost been driven out of existence by the rival Amalgamated Garment Workers; Fisher, the barbers; Woll. the photo engrnvors; Duncan, the granite workers, and Valentine, tho molders. The aim of the combination against Gompers if an effective one can be formed is to defeat Rlckert, of the gar ment workers; Woll. of the photo engravers, who is Gompers right -hnnd mail, and in training to succeed him, nnd Fisher, of the barbers. The votes to defeut Gompeis have to be found in the United Mine Woikers, one of tho two largest organizations in the federation, the inilroad organiza tions, the carpenters nnd the ma chinists. Lewis will have the support of the carpenters with .'."lOfl votes and of his own organization with BOO votes. It will take more than 20,000 votes to elect him. .Machinists Oppose Gompers Tho machinists with 3000 otes are strongly anti-Gompers. William II. Johnston, the bend of the organization. is an exceedingly nble und ambitious man. Ho has in the past had the sup port of the railroad organizations in the federation in his efforts to become n member of the executive council. Johnston, with railroad men'st sup port, and Lewis with tho aid of the car penters, should be nble to agree upon a program of Lewis for president of the federation nnd Johnston for member of the executive council nnd votes enough to elect Lewis c-nn probably be fouixl. Several conditions fnvor Lewis. lie is not an especially htrong nnd able man. being distinctly inferior to Gom pers in force nnd skill as n leader. Older and abler leaders muv be ion tent to see him president of the federa tion nnd in this wny they can cuter and perhaps dominate the executive council. Lewis presumably would hnve a cer tain fin or nt tho White House which Gompers has not. Ho is a Republican and was at one time considered for the post of Secretin j of Labor by President Harding. He is reported to have been recommended for that place by Secre tary Hooer. Lewis n Conservative Ho is, moi cover, a conservative, even more conservative than Gompers, At the time of the toal strike last year lie decided to obey Judge Anderson's order of injunction, although Gompers was in favor of defy ins the Court. Tills cnused some feeling between Lewis nitil Gompers, but it is not lei-poiisible for Lewis' present candidacy which springs rather from the de-ire of tho bigger unions to have more power in the fed eration than they now pos-ess. An obstacle to a combination upon Lewis is the ambition of Johnston, who may prefer to have Gompers continue ns president in the hope that lie mn ultimately , when Gompers' regime breaks up, bo ome president himself. Lewis was unwilling to see Johnston udvnnecd to u membei&hip in tho ex ecutive (outicll last year, casting the mine workers' oto aealnst him and for tho Gompoit, candidate. Johnston may bo unwilling to see lewis advanced to the presidency this year. A defeat of Gompers und n reorgan ization of the executive council would probably mean great changes in the policy of organized lnbor. The nld fiisliioned craft union would tend to give phitc to the industrial union, Johnston machini-tH uro no longer n pure crnft union, the nulomobile workers having been oigani.ed as n branch of his union.

Isn't it difficult to im agine a more impressive tribute, or stronger testi mony to increasing pres tige? Isti't it significant that this growing clientele is composed, for the greater part, of the more sub stantial citizens? Isn't it more signifi cant that many of them, at first, had no intent to purchase, because they al ready possessed the finer types of cars that were hitherto available? And isn't it still more significant that in numer ous instances they have added the second Lincoln car, some the third, sev eral the fourth, and in one family the fifth? The simple fact is, that when motorists came to realize that the Lincoln is actually a new develop ment; when they experi enced for themselves its "new riding and driving ease and awakened to its un matched travel capabili ties ; when they discerned its elements which make for added years of consis tent service, then the desire for Lincoln car possession seemed irre sistible. All of which would indicate unanswerable evidence of the trend of fine car buying.
