V7ESTVARD now turn the eyes of the cohorts who len day hence will frame the 'answer lo Herding and Coolidge, and the platform and policies, which marked the results of the opposing cohorts work in the east last week. If there was douty in Chicago as to where the baton of leadership would be bestowed, there la even greater doubt today as to the men who shall emerge 'as standard-beareat San Francisco. A week was it announced that PrcsL Wilson had ago been persuaded, though, reluctantly, not to allow himself lo be considered his party's candidate again; upon which. McAdoo stock took a strong upward lurm Now Mr. McAdoo issues a statement that he will not be a candidate, and his San Frncisc headquarters are abandoned all this practically coincident with a ringing challenge by the President concerning the issue upon which bis party must go into the campaign. If be is not Aspiring to third-lim- e leadership of his party, he is at least cutting out the work for, and evidently intends to have a potent voice in Selecting the man' who is to be, his successor. He will be represented at the Golden Gate by bia latest important appointee. Secretary of Stale Colby; and another lieutenant in whonvbe reposes the Utmost confidence is Senator Glass, former secretary of the treasury, who is understood to be slated to write the platform, at least the League of Nations plank of it , Senator Glass himself is lately talked of favorably as a dark horse if. the nomination is not to go to one of, the regular entries. Should the choice fall upon him, the country will witness the unprecedented spectacle of twoU. S. Senators opposing each other for the Presidency, with the assurance that one or the other of them would be elected which is itself an unprecedented event in our history, no man having yet been elected lo the higher office while actually being a Senator. In fact, since i860, when Slephrn A. Douglas was bis partys choice in the convention at Charleston. S. C, no actual member of the Senate has even received the nomination for the Presidency until last Saturday, when the honor came to Senator Harding of Ohio.. Mr. Douglas was defeated, and thus created no exception to the rule that no President was a member of the Senate when he was nominated. The Republican party believe, however, that the rule is now due lo be broken in Senator Harding's case; and if the Democratic Lightning" should happen to bit Senator Glass, that party would also doubtless agree that it was high time for the old rule lo go into the discard.

The public, which is the present learner, as, being the element toward which the pendulum ia now taking a distinct swing, should avoid and profit by the' previous mistakes when capital tried to pull it one way and labor tried to puif it the other. The public owes it to itself, as well as to the other two, that it act more reason-- , ably than either of them has acted. Only so will it bs possible to restore a stable equilibrium and maintain.it when. once secured. SAMUEL GOMPERS may not agree with all of the ONE may orand sociologie ideas of Samuel "Gompers, but it must be conceded that he is - an exceptional old man.- The veteran union for the thirty-nin- th chief has just been lime president of the American Federation of Labor. Notwithstanding the fact that the convention had only a few hours before overwhelmingly voted against him on tha question of government ownership of railroads, and despite bis strenuous fight on that resolution, to head the, Federation by. he was practically a unanimous vote, and wu given a tremendous ovation w ben he accepted the call to duty. Moreover, his entire adminis-- tration cabinet was returned to office, an added Indication that the Federation bas complete confidence in bia leadership. Incidentally.

Objection lo the picture is based on the almost certain conclusion that the scene was not genuine that it was in .reality "staged" so that a picture of it could be taken and this picture used throughout the country as propaganda for the Socialist and their cause. It can not be questioned that the ex bibiion of the affecting" scene will have a considerable effect, among the thousands ol people who see it portrayed on the screen. The' element oT mob psychology enters n, and so the picture is applauded by great crowds of movie fans" who do not stop to analyze the fakery of the thing. With the hinking, however, the whole affair can not but arouse disgust. Had the scene been genu-n- e; had the embraces and kisses of Debs, and the tears of the men upon whom was lavished his emotional demonstration been a pontaneous outburst and from the heart, no one would raise a word against it. But many who have seen the picture declare it lobe pure mummery; and its purpose is plain. In any event, regardless of the picture and its influence, It would be well to keep in mind some of the facts in regard lo Debs and-hiideals. He is in prison, having been convicted, on what is believed to be convincing and undeniable evidence, of violating the laws of his country. In fact, he admits having said in a public address, speaking of the United States government and the courts: With every drop in my veins I despise their laws snd defy them." Publicly he applauded the Socialist party platform of 1917, which calletj for action and publj&.opptjsilkm" against our conduct of the war; dectored that it was rs a capitalists war, and encouraged to resist the selective draft.

PRESS dispatches stale that Edward Schmitt, of the police department of Evans. ville, Ind- - has been sentenced to serve two years in the federal prison at Atlanta, Gaand to pay a fine of 12,000 for conspiracy to violate Ibe Reed liquor amendment. Schmitt and other defendants were found guilty of having carried intoxicants Ky to Evansville, under protection of the Evansville police department. The fact that the liquor was carried across state lines brought the case within fedefal jurisdiction under the Reed law, and the federal court did its duty in the matter! There is encouragement in the detection and puniahment of these offender. If peace officers, whose duty it is ta uphold and enforce the law were permitted to go unpuniabed when they conspire in its violation, it would not be Jong before there would be no liw and the fabric of government and organized society would be destroyed.

AUTHORITY. T,HE principal fealure in The National Geo- graphic Magazine for June is a charmingly written and magnificently illustrated article, A Mind's-Ey- e Map of America," by Franklin K. Lane, recently IT. S. secretary of the Interior. The paper contains much that it o patriotio interest to western people; and the following paragraphs will be read with spccia local approbation: , Crossing the border (from Idaho) you come down into Utah.

It has as steady, kindly a group of people in Utah as will be found anywhere this round globe over, llrlgham Young may not have ' a prophet of Almighty God, but he worked a miracle when ehccrossed from the Missouri lUver over that desert, lead- -' ing his band of a few hundred followers s, with their going out into that unknown waste, and turned the land that lies around Salt Lake City into a garden.

A beautiful tribute, truly. In which the distinguished author nothing extenuates," the while he gives eloquent rebuke to that class of observers whose fondness is to set aught . down In malice.
