The book ef Isa. 12, tells us: “Say ye net, a con- federacy, to alil them to whom this peo- ple shall say, a confederacy; neither fear ye their fear, nor be afraid.” Sure- ly we are living in a time when the di- vine word of God is being fulfilled be- fore our eyes, and our ministers and shepherds Lknow it meot. It says in Is: :10-11, “His watchmen are blind ; they are all ignorant, they are all dumb dogs, (“they call themselves D. D's.”), they cannot bark; sleeping, lying down, loving to slumber. Yea, they are greedy dogs which can never have enough, and they are shepherds that cannot understand; they all look to their own very ome for his gain, from his quarter.” At a time when the world at this present day is full of sel- fishness, money mad, full of unrest, and |dlscunten‘.. can anyone say where it will {all end? Men's hearts failing them for 4 for looking after these things are coming on the earth.

In the face of this edict which states what a plumber may and may not do— and with Mr. Fox's name attached—he has the temerity to say in his letter that the local 55 has “no jurisdiction™ over the plumbers. It may easily be observed here that no “concession” is made to allow a plumber to selder a leak on a roof or gutter and that if his employer should send him cut to do such a thing for a customer, the Tinsmiths' union, 55, forbids it and claim the right to stop him and call him off the job. No “exception” covering “emergency” is named in this case. In- deed the greater the emergency the bet- ter it would seem for the Tinsmiths’ union ‘We offer no comment—the public can read these facts and render their owmn verdict. AN EMPLOYING PLUMBER.

C.B. MONTGOMERY. 2, 1920. Oneco, June SNAP SHOTS OF G, 0. P. CONVENTIONS Copyrighted by G. M. Adams Service FIFTEENTH CONVENTION. The fifteenth annual republican con- vention was the mos: turbulent, the most spectacular, and the most tragic of any on the list. lLarly in the year lines were tizhtly drawn from coast to coast between adherents of President Tali, seeking a re-nomination, and adherents of Theodore Roosevelt, seeling to pre- vent this outcome. The battie for dele- gates raged violently in almost every state. As a result, out of 1078 seats in the convention, 254 were under con- test when the time came to make the temporary conmvention roil. The national committee assembled in Chicago, ‘June 6, 1912, and heard these coniests until Juns 15. The bitterness displayed in these hearings—accentu- ated by the presence of Iloosevelt him- self in Chicago—clearly prophesied the ultimate breach which occurred a week later. And when the national committee assigned 235 of the 254 contested seats to Taft delegates, and only 19 to Roose-| velt, the probability of breach became a | Vil convention itself gathered in the Chicago Coliseum on Tuesday, June 18, 1912—the 97th anniversary of the bat- tle of Waterloo! The initial skirmish between the forces of the two chief poli- tical gladiators came at once. The na- tional commitiee offered Elihu Root of New York as temporary chairman. The Roosevelt forces nominated Governor Francis E. McGovern of Wisconsin. After o spectacular 5-hour battle, Root won by e vote of 558 to 502, and five days later was made permanent chairman of the convention. The next day, an attempt by the Roosevelt forces to put upon the tem- porary roll the names of delegates re- jected by the national committee was beaten by a vote of 564 to 510. By this time, the impossibility of pacific union betwesn the two contending forces was a0 obvious that there was much talk of efiort to agree upon a “dark horse,” and the names of Governor Hughes of New York and Governor Hadley of Missouri ‘were freely discussed. DBut the conven- tion was destined to ge to its bitter con- clusion along the lines originally drawn. Two days were now consumed by the committee on credentials listening to ar- guments all over n' in connection with the 254 contes seats—with the same net result previously reeorded. But this time the talk of a Reosevelt boit was oven and generally threatemed. In the early merning hours of June 20, Roosevelt ‘himself told his delegates “net to suBmit te a majority having ne title in law or morais.” The Taft forces and the national committee, however, in- sisted from first to last that they were strictly within their rights and equities. All of the preliminary skirmishing was finally done en Saturday morning, June 22, 1912. One of RoosevelU's lead- ers read a statement to the eonvention from Roosevelt himself, stating: I ail the while, mins of Iowa, 17 votes; Senator LaFol- lette of Wi were 344 delegates who followed the Roosevelt and did_not vate, Immediately thereafter, Vice-Pree. ident Sherman was remominated on 2 single baliot, and the eonvention quickly adjourned. That same night, the progressive party was born in the same city. Among the men prominent in 1920 comvention eal- cglations who figured in the 1912 affair, are Senator Watson of Indiana, who was convention floor manager for Taft; Se: ator Harding of Ohio, who made Taf! nominating speech; Governor Henry J. Allen of sas whe presented Robse- veit's final statement to the convention advising his delegates net to vote, and Johnson of California, who was the head of the California delegation ‘and active for Roosevelt from first to last, and who prominently participated in the birth of the new party. Before the electoral college could meet, Vice President Sherman died and the name of Dr. Nicholas Murray Butler, president of Celumbia university of New York, was substituted by the national eemmittee. Dr. Butler also figures in 1920 prospects as a pessible recipient of New York's preliminary convention votes.

Dec. 17, gent in his Venzuela mesnage. 1896—March 12, England agreed to arbitrate Venzuellan clnims. 1908—June 24, Cleveland died at Prineeton, N. J., aged 71 Grover Cleveland will be doubly re- membered, if for no other reason, be- cause his name and his name alone ap- pears twice in the list of presidents which 50 many school ghildren have (o memorize. He had no more than left the presidency in defeat and settled down to the practice of law in New York city than it was\seen that he was still almost as much the leader of the democratic party as when he was in the White House. Yet this ex-president had no machine, and no organization. He did mot even have friends in politics, that is to say, personal friends. Always standing on his dignity with the politicians, he unbent only in the companionship of intimates as far removed from the political fleld as Jefferson, the actor. four years of his retirement he seldom saw warty leaders. Yet so strong was the reuction against the republi- cans and so ioud the call for his in 1892 that he returned in triumph to the White House. “Grover! Grover! four more vears of Grove: Out they go, in we go. then we'll be in clover,’ S0 ran the favorite sormg of that cam- paign second term never has been a fi ? clover for uny president. It was 3 “or (leveiand. “Ine of the periodical panics of the 13th canvur, eaant with financal and industrial paral n 1803, only two months As usual the party in power caught all the blame, and day after day a lea republican newspaper shouted in gleeful headlines: “Another bank gone demo- eratic! As the first menas re ‘arice. ClefZland called a spec of congress for the purpose of repeal the Silver act of the Harris istration. The next day he submitted to the surgeon's knife for the removal of a cancerous ulcer which had appeared in the roof of his mouth. His grave physical condition was concealed from the panicky mind of the public. anc the operation was perforried in the clos- est sccrecy aboard a yacht as it steamed slowly up the East River, off New York. Not until many vears had passed was it known that when comgress assembled he faced it with a rubber jaw. Under the pressure of the president, the Silver act was repealed but only aft- er a bitter struggle which left the demo- cratic party Thopelessly split. passage of a tariff bill divided the party still more.. It was such a lobby-made, log rolling measure that Cleveland re fused to sign it, but let it become a law without his signature. After that sorry exhibilion of themselves, the democrats went down in & well-merited defeat in the congressional elections of 1894, To complete the general demoralization, the railroags were tied up in the Middle West by a big strike under the !eadership of Eugene V. Debs. With the aid of in- junctions and troops, Cleveland kept the roads open, but his unprecedented use of the federal power served to deepen the popular feeling that he was more conm- cerned for the interests of property than for the interests of the working people, whose wages were econtinually going down. In the depth of our domestic troubles the president sent famous Venzuel- ian message to congress. In it he an- nounced that the British government had rejected all our appeals for the arbiira-; tion of a land dispute which It was press- ing in South Amerieca, and he boidiy pro- posed that we our selves should decide the Guestion and then proceed to enforce our deeision. Stocks tumbled headlong in Lendon and New York. and there was much wild talk on both sides of the Atlamtic. But the president confidently reassured his troubled private secretary, “Thurber, this does not mean war;: it tion.” And that was the outcome of all #ae hubbld., (g:veland's outburst of plain speaking hac the effect of awaken- ing the knglish peopic ,as never before, te the vaiue of American friendship, and it opened 2 new era in the relations of the two governments. Cleveland’s hardest, longest battle in his second administration was for the gold standard. Almost alone he upheld it through four years, abandoned by most of the democrats and unaided by the goll republicans in congress., who were afraid of “hurting the party” with the silver peeple. Throughout those years of doubt and panic, the bushess world morbldly watched the fall of the gold reserve The treasury was overflowing with siiv and if the government should be reduced te the necessity of The | means arbitra- | ! i silver basis. of the reserve.

However that may be, for four years Cleveland’s strong, resolute arms held the country from sliding down upon a silver basis. But for his lone, stuybborn fight, the gold standard must have been lost before the campaign of 1896, when he gave the republicans the lssue on which they elected McKinley. But he was toeo stout a partisan to enjoy such a left- handed endorsement and his estrange- ment from the democrats remained a heavy disappointment. Although he left the White House s man without a party, men of all parties were compelled to respect him, not per- haps as a great but as a fearess presi- dent, as one of the strongest characters, one of the most masterful personalities that we have had in the presidency.
