Of Archery and Tally-hos losers hb treachery. This Is sheer nonsense, aud if it keeps up, the ran unci tile of the Democratic party will be justified in considering nil the members of this Convention traitors. In the nature of things there must be a shifting of votes to reach de clsions In a Convention. With nine toon or twenty candidates in the field there can be no choice until a large niHjorlty of the delegates do some wholesale deserting. The attitude of the Ulsterites in condemning Mr.

Irwin corresponds to that of the Mc Adoo delegates and to Mr. McAdoo himself, who is willing to wreck tb Convention and the party to have hi: wpv. It is such folly thnt brings popular government Into contempt and fills sensible people with disgust for politics. THE BARON WOULD VISIT. The report that the Prince of Wales will don his disguise as Baron Renfrew and come to America this year will be welcome to Americans and Canadians alike, who have ripe to cherish a liking for the debonair heir to the British throne, who al though of royalty has much the PRine thirst for adventure and excitement as all North Americans have and who insist upon gratifying It.

They say the baron wants to watch polo out on Long Island. He is even expected to play In some of the pre liminary matches. He is a glutton for punishment and has never exer cised the privilege of royalty to sit on the sidelines and do his sporting by proxy. That he is a duffer in so many lines of sport only endears him with the hoi-pollol, who, as a rule, are duffers In everything. He is a mas ter salesman of British good will He has no smart sales talk but his canvass is perfect It consists in being himself, so that all can see that ne is wnat Americans line to can a "regular guy." Officially, of course, the British Embassy may know nothing about his coming, since he is in his baron's disguise.

However, New York is not likely to take his Incognito so lightly, It is only to be hoped that the Demo crats make up their minds before he arrives. What with the humidity and Washington insulting the Yankees by leading the American League without even "Babe" Ruth and the quadrennial squabble over the Olym pic Games about to break forth, a Convention still in session and a princely baron on the polo field would be just a little too much for our native high blood pressure. IRISH POET SADLY NONGAELIC. New Hibernia may well mourn over the grewsome limitations of William Butler Yeats, who has made himself a name as a poet by the use of the English language. If he had been able to write the Gaelic and to ab sorb the folklore that is behind the Gaelic, what a wonderful bard he might have been! But Yeats, a Senator under the Free State, discussing a bill to com pel the printing of all railroad tickets and timetables In the ancient tongue, confesses his hapless condition: "I have tried to learn Gaelic, but failed," he says.

"I have failed to learn any language except English. I am sorry, indeed, to say It" If misery loves company, William Butler Yeats ought to be consoled. A tremendous majority of Americans and Englishmen, and certainty the greater part of the Free State Irish, cannot learn any language except the one they were brought up to. All Dublin smiles at the attempt to make antiquarian llngutets out of common folk by legislative enactment The Gaelic is as interesting to students as Yiddish or Sanscrit or the lingo of the Romany Rye. That it can ever take the place of-English, even in Galway, Is an iridescent and vanishing dream.

THREE LITTLE SAVAGES. Three little white Indian children did not worry today whether they were albinos, the children of Indians of conventional shade. They are homesick, and New Yorkers sweltering in the July heat and humidity know just how they feel. Science can be cruel, Just to satisfy curiosity. These young Indians have no desire to go Into the melting pot They do not want to become Coney Island sideshow curiosities.

They shrink from the roaring subway, with Its hot breath and its sticky Jams. They are afraid of the strange ways of an American hotel. The rustle and hustle of desperate Democrats at the Waldorf-Astoria arouses childish fears. Back in the jungle growths of their native lands people do not go rushing about when the sun Is in high heaven. Moreover, they are also aggrieved lhat a trip to New York has brought with it that peculiar insistence of the Nordic that their lithe, healthy young bodies shall be clad In restraining, unhealthy clothing.

The food is strange with sharp sauces find queer flavors. Even the water is different. Yesterday they had a good view of the dominant race of the New World. It fought to get a view of them in a taxicab. They had heard uf, or perhaps witnessed, raids by neighboring tribes on their village at- home.

But they never knew that the great white man can fight as fiercely merely to get a look at something he has never seen before. At Ellis Island they baked and steamed while immigration officials examined their bonds. Nobody hakes In Darlen and 110 little Indian children have to lvuve lionds put up for them there. Darlen seemed vastly to be preferred to New York yesterday. They have been taken from a siny TUESDA EN I Mi, Jt'LT J24 Btrd at the I-'rookl Poatofflca ai ftetontf cUhB J.fait Matttr.

This an s-ver was made possible by the notice i of release which every candidate but 5 Mr. McAdoo signed. Many of Mr. McAdoo's supporters fell away from Mm in we larer tests 01 sirengio yes I terday until upon the conclusion of tLe eighty-seventh and last ballot 't his total had for the first time dropped below that recorded for Gov-! ernor Smith. He had 333H to the Governor's 3612.

Mr. McAdoo began in yesterday's i balloting with 511 -votes. He reached the end of it with a loss of ITS. This result proves two things: First, that no cannot commana a Dare majority of the Convention, much less the nec-? essary two-thirds, and, second, that he does not retain even a veto power I against any other candidate. This Is 3 v.

hat has happened in the face of Mr. McAdoo's declared resolution to stick after all of the other candidates had '5 offered full and unconditional re-5 lease to their delegates. This Is the 5 reply to a consuming ambition which sought to deadlock the Convention indefinitely rather than yield a point that others' readily yielded in the hope of reacliing a decision. Governor Snrjth has not profited by the defections ftom the McAdoo column and he is not to profit. His total last night on the eighty-seventh ballot was still considerably below his own high-water mark.

But If he cannot succeed in securing his own nomination he has at least succeeded in rescuing the party from the domination of Mr. McAdoo and the disruptive forces behind his candidacy. His action In promptly agreeing to the proposal that delegates should be left free to act as they please was the most helpful contribution toward breaking the deadlock. He has not permitted his personal ambitions to stand In the way of a settlement. That is what Mr.

McAdoo did and that Is what he still proposes to do unless the Convention xuns over him. The Convention should run over him with the greatest possible dispatch. It has already emancipated itself from his control. It has annihilated his veto power. It has registered disgust with his methods.

It has, rebuked his selfishness. It has proved to him that his reliance on religious prejudice and his foolish allegations of undue Influence exercised against him through the use of money and the arts of hospitality can avail him nothing. He will not yield gracefully to the inevitable. There-for- the Convention will have to crush him under a swift and overwhelming avalanche of votes. lie should no longer be allowed to stand in the way of a decision that could have been much earlier arrived at but for his unreasoning A STORM IN A TEAPOT.

Premier MacDonald insists that the controversy that has arisen over the Allied Conference ou the Dawes plan is a mere storm in a teapot From the frank statement made by him in the Commons yesterday we gather that this is the case. Unfortunately, most of the troubles that have Europe over reparations have been teapot tempests that somehow develop into devastating tornadoes, producing ministerial crises. This particular storm has come near upsetting Premier Hcrriot and throwing the whole problem of reparations back where it was before the Dawes plan was evolved. So far the debate and the controversy have gone on without the public knowing exactly hat it is all about. Mr.

MacDonald promised yesterday, however, that he would make public the stenographic report of the con-' rersations he had with Premier Hcrriot In time for a resumption of the debate on Thursday. The real trouble was started by the Echo de Paris and may reasonably he attributed to Poinrare's adherents. The critics of Premier Herrlot circulaied the report that he had agreed to proposals by Premier MacDonald which wiiild displace the Versailles Trcaty Jin't the Reparation Commission in Uldlng Germany to account for defaults under the Dnwes plan. These cliurgcs Premier MacDonald denies. He Insists that such suggestions are absurd and declares tii.it sole point raised by him in this touuection related to ways and me'ius of making effective parti of the.

Complaints of a caterpillar plague in the Bushwick section, In the Stuy vesant section and in all the park recall the experiences of this section of Long Island In 1MB, 1017 and 11)18. In the year first named the plague was taken in time to prevent thp worst consequences to the leaves of shade trees. Boy Scouts got busy with the eggs In June. These can scraped off and burned.

In Nassa County prizes were offered to school children, and it was estimated, with out any accurate figuring, that 28, 158.000 eggs were destroyed. Yet In 1017 the caterpillars came back. Brooklyn was overrun with them. They were ou every fence. They crawled Into houses.

They dropped on one's head from the trees. Spraying was resorted to In the parks, but without much success. Tb pest appeared nlso In 1018, but not quite so generally. Since then Brook lyn has been fairly free. This year an inspector of the Park Department declares the rains washed a lot of newly hatched cater.

pillars down to the roads many weeks before they would have been noticed The borough has inadequate fnnd for fighting them, and it la too late for spr.aying to do any good. How ever, masses of the creatures may be swept up and burned. The white-marked tussock moth's larvae (Orgyla Leucostlgma is the technical term) are perhaps the most destructive of all the caterpillars to vegetation in the United States. They are the nuisances the Park Depart ment and citizens on tree-lined streets have to deal with in Brooklyn. But luckily there Is no reason to think that 1024 will be a parallel to 1017.

we shall be annoyed but not swamped by the Leucostigma tribe. Let us forestall hints hat Japa nese coin made Yen Premier of China, Obvloslties are never worth while.

No retaliatory ban on her maple sugar is conceivable. Officially it Is reported that the 'alumnae" of Bedford Reformatory are swamping the superintendon with letters in defense of their alma mater.

But for reasons obvious to the meanest intelligences names and ddresses cannot be made public. Berlin has a unique issue between landlords and tenants. Ground floor people object to paying any part of the expense of elevators, because they have no use for the Luckily our civil justice courts escape such problems. They have enough troubles as it Is. Henry Ford's gift of a great air field to Detroit Is only an incident of business.

He is deeply interested in the future of the metal airplane. Ford looks forward and not backward. To that extent degree he is in line with Dr. Edward Everett Hale's aphorism. To make Stave Island, on Lake Champlain, off Burlington, a "Honey moon Island," to be rented by the day or week or mouth to one couple at a time, is a novel enterprise.

About its plan and scope we have our doubts. An elaborate mansion with lot of servants might well disillu sion any modern bride. William Archer rushes to the de fense of his play, "The Green God dess," attacked by London critics. That was to have been expected. The author who will not protect his own child Is a wretch, whom It is the basest flattery to call a coward.

But Archer's incidental defense of melo drama, as such, is interesting. "Melo drama is not written, it Is re-written," has been said so often that it is imost accepted as truth in an age of decadence. John D. Rockefeller, 85 today, has no message to the world on his birthday, save an expression of gratitude for his opportunities to do something for his fellow human beings. That he has done much no sane mind can doubt.

We think of his gifts to col leges, to health foundations, to churches, bat conceivably his most aluable contribution, materially, to of the depredations of the foxes upon their lambs, pigs and Application was made to officers of the Berwickshire hunt for compensation, and it was the refusal of the hunters' organization to grant this appeal that led to the question in the House ot Commons which brought forth the statement that foxes are vermin, and may legally be destroyed as such. It seems to be a. question new whether the established legal right to kill foxes as vermin will prevail over the age-long British tradition that such a thing simply "isn't done." Against the probable victory of the tradition In such a contest It la to be remembered that the tradition is of aristocratic origin, and that the aristocratic element has ceased to be the dominant element in British affairs. If the British fox hunters wish to retain their game they will probably be able to do so only by offering fair compensation for such ravages as the foxes may make, and thus effecting a reconciliation with the farmers. nounce a complete accord with the British and give the actual basis for it.

DEATH'S SHADOW ON WHITE HOUSE. When the loved son of the first citl zen of the land, a youth approachins manhood, is taken away: when the White House is shrouded in mourn Ing. and a father and mother are suf faring the first shock of bereavement. sympathy may seem fittest in its sim plest. even its inarticulate form; philosophy is impertinence, consoia tion is impossible; resignation must te the gift of Time.

We all know that pale death ap proaches with equal step the hovels of the humble and the homes of the mlers of the world. Nor has mod- cm science changed things at all Calvin Coolidge Jr. had all the chance that science could give him. The poorest youth in the land might have had the same. The "equal step" remains.

Our hospitals are no respecters of persons. For President Coolidge and Mrs. Coolidge prayers are going up wher-erer Christian Americans meet. With them devotional and nondevotlonal fellow countrymen are mourning. Vet must their grief be as personal, ns isolated from all environment, as the grief of any other stricken family.

Heart wounds become scars as the weeks and months and years pass by, but while they are wounds the shrinking from human touch is a universal Impulse, an Impulse that demands respect from all souls capable of delicacy and discernment. A PROPHET FROM INDIANA. Mr. Thomas Taggart, Democratic boss of Indiana, is not afraid to pose as a prophet in these uncertain days. Said Mr.

Taggart last night, when invited to stake his' reputation as a seer on the question whether the Democratic Convention would reach a decision today: "You bet. And you can quote me. There will be a nomination made tomorrow." Mr. Taggart, had he yielded to the prodding of the high hopes with which he came to the Convention and which he has never abandoned In the face of discouragement, might have added that, In his Judgment, tho nomination would go to his own preferred choice, Senator Samuel M. Ralston.

It makes no difference to Mr. Taggart that Mr. Ralston formally withdrew from the -race, that he does not desire the nomination and has threatened not to take it if it comes to him, thereby creating a precedent. For a dark horse, sup posed to be completely effaced from the competition, he reappared last night with noticeable vigor, register ing 03 votes on the eighty-seventh ballot Mr. Ralston may drop out of sight again today, but Mr.

Taggart, as his chief sponsor, is obviously sticking to him, still confident that when a nomination is made it will be the nomination on which, as the boss of Indiana, he has set his heart. FLAYING "DESERTING" DELEGATES. Ulster Democrats, in mass meeting assembled, have passed a resolution condemning Roscoe Irwin, delegate-at-large from the Ulster district, for switching his vote from Smith to Mc Adoo. The incensed Democrats de clare that Mr. Irwin "has brought discredit and dishonor to the Demo cratic voters' ot their district ana want him to switch back to Governor Smith.

Lathrop Brown of St. James, L. the other New York delegate who flopped to McAdoo, is getting the same kind of criticism. Both are classed as deserters by the ardent supporters of Governor Smith. In a sense these New York dele gates were deserters since they changed their vote before the Con vention and the candidates (with the exception of Mr.

McAdoo released the delegates, but they were merely ctiticipating events by a few ballots. Those who are foremost in condemning Messrs. Irwin and Brown fo-changing their votes should realize that in this matter of deserting Gov ernor Smith has more to gain than to lose. Practically all the votes he has picked up in the last few days have been cast by "deserters." mostly from the McAdoo camp. Tho only trouble is that Mr.

Smith lias been unable to lure enough deserters his way. It would be good ta 'tics for l.ini to encourage a few desertions from his side to popularize tho idea. As a matter of fact, this Convention has suffered more from mistaken loyalties than from desertions. Despite appearances it is not a battle that is being fought in Madison Square. Th Convention is.

or should te. more of a conference than a conflict. A reasonable sense of loyalty to candidates was to be expected, but as the sessions have lengthened out it becomes the duty of delegates to put the aims of the party before loyalty to given candidate. The Ulster Democrats are merely the first to Any a "deserting" delegate. Similar proceedings arc to be expected in every section of the country as an aftermath of this Convention.

Half the delegations are now divided into hostile caijs, aud every the benefit of humauity was the organized use of all the by-products of petroleum, from which his constructive imagination developed an immense fortune. GRAVURE COMPANIONS Rochester Tfmea-Unlon THERE they were, side by side, in the rotagravure section of tho Sunday pap-r the home of William Shakespeare at quiet Stratford-on-Avon and the excavated tomb of King Tutankhamen of the Egyp tians. What a contrast! The home of the greatest poet of the English speaking peoples is most modest one. The tomb of the great one of the past is, or was, the lest word in the ornamentation that ealth can provide. In one was laid away a king, lu the other livd a king of mind who has reigned over more willing subjects than Tutankhamen ever dreamed of.

The one, and his kind, strutted over his little world of slaves and masters and decreed that his body should be eternally preserved against dissolution. The other asked to be buried In a humble grave and his only request was that his bones never be disturbed. In the tomb of the king were in numerable tokens of the personality of the owner. In the home of the king of poets there is little to betoken the person of the owner and in his writings still less. No man of genius made less noise In his life than William Shakespeare.

He never exploited himself. He never ob truded himself In his plays to say This is my opinion." Time makes all things right. Tut ankhamen was unknown for 35 centuries. Bringing his tomb and his reign to light adds little to the sum of practical knowledge. He lived, ruled, died and was laid away ccordlng to the rites inherent in his exalted position.

Shakespeare has ruled over the minds of men for a brief three centuries. It Is but the early morning of his fame. He holds sway over a kingdom of his own creation. His modest home cannot possibly endure as long as Tut's tomb. Buf what of It? And what of anything that is not founded on the everlasting rock of service and human idealism? CONVENTION HISTORY tKuiNta Clt3Tlme.

THERE is a school of historians which finds an economic motive behind every event Economic pres sure, this school says, drove the colonists to America to find better living conditions. Economic pressure forced the colonists to split off from the mother country. Economic pressure caused the Civil War. The attention of these historians respectfully called to the effect of economic pressure on deadlocked political. conventions.

Here at New York are 2,000 delegates and alter nates far from home, living In high priced New York hotels, their money rapidly being exhausted and the deadlock apparently as tight as ever. nder such circumstances what Is a poor delegate to do? Here la a gentleman from Gee Whii, for Instance. He has been earing the same shirt for four days. He has his pants. He is aklng light, very light, meals at a ot-dog lunch stand.

How long can hold out and vote for that peer less statesman, that red-blooded meriean, that foe of Wall Street, hat driver of the money changers from the temple, the candidate of throne? How long, he asksa sympathetic world His only reliance In tha crisis his national committeeman. iBut the average national committeeman Isn't a millionaire. If he is on his own resources he can't afford to lend money to every distressed delegate. Not if he sees the distressed delegate first. So the national committeeman is driven to a profound seclusion unless Unless, that ia, some candidate who values the presence of supporting delegates has a fund In tho treasury for Just such emergencies.

If the national committeeman can make connections with such a fund he may be able to pipe a few dollars of first" aid to the distressed gentleman from Gee Whiz. Would this gentleman be so ungrateful as to cast his ballot against his source of relief? He is a human being, isn't he? Well, then. In this way do deadlocks In con vention sometimes work through economic pressure In favor of the candidate who has the forethought and the friends to provide the neces- tjyy funds to cover all the contin gencies of politics. Thus do we find the economic motive running through history convention history, as well as history in its broader aspects. CLEANLY HUMOROUS With almost qvery modern author trying to ram down our literary throats spme sort of propaganda, it Is like finding an oasis in a desert to read a novel like "The Narrow Street" by Edwin Bateman aiorrls (Penn Publishing Company).

Perhaps the author wishes us to learn a lesson of greater tolerance toward people who are "different," but if so he coats his medicine with the most delightful humor, whimsical character and charming plot His hero, Simon Haldane, is one of those pain fully shy men to whom life becomes a tragedy through the persistent fail ure of his fellows to understand him or appreciate his real worth. Wom en frighten the poor man to extinc tion. So to start the plot off right away with a real thrill Simon arrives home on a stormy night rather dis couraged at his drab prospects, and a bit resentful of the constant ridicule of his office mates. Imagine the consternation of Simon, a bachelor, with even his faithful servitor, Easter, gone for the night, to find a young and beautiful girl seeking his hospitality and protection. Complications ensue when she remains for a few days as bis guest The surprise party of tho office force, who take It for granted Simon has secretly married, is a gem of kindly humor that will give one the cheeriest kind of a.

chuckle. in spue of Simon handicans of dif fidence and lack of self-confidence he nas tnought out many business problems of his firm, and although he himself Is as surprised as anvbodv. he confounds the efficiency experts by his ideas and wins the coveted promotion. But alas. Just as success is about to crown him the girl disappears.

and Simon's real troubles begin in his search for her and his unhappy jealousy of a supposed rival. The denouement is delightfully unexpected and so humanly fitting to Simon's character that it would be a shame to spoil It Dy giving it away. The rarrow Street can lav claim to real humor of the clean, wholesome variety, and the author deserves a vote of thanks for Ms quizzical poking fun at our smug-stupid ways of doing things without stooping to vulgarity or horseplay-. Perhaps trie Simons or this worlc may even be a little better understood through sympathy with this sufferer from the taunts of thought less friends. ESTHER COSTER.

Coluaibua Diapateh. IN answer to a question In the British House of Commons last week, a member of the MacDonald government said: "I am advised that foxes are vermin, and may be destroyed as such." This is a statement of more importance in Great Britain than might at first be thought. Among Britons of high estate, the traditional fox hunt is a dearly cherished sport, and anything that would tend to bring- about its extinction would be very deeply resented. And of course nothing else would be so sure to extinguish the sport as the extinction of the fox. Itself.

Under the Influence of the traditions built up during centuries around this sport, It is regarded is a grave offense to kill a fox in any other way than by the usual methods of the hunt. Of course, those methods are so arranged as always to leave an adequate supply for breeding, in order to keep the sport as a permanent institution. In some places, Indeed, the provision for the future supply has been so ample that the local farmers have complained NEW BOOKS RECEIVED "Wind's End," by Herbert Asquith. (Charles Scrlbner's Sons.)
