Here—revealed at last—is the sacred fount! Here is the spring, pure and undefiled, from which flows the limpid stream of Tammany tradition! "Here is the sparkling source of Mr. Murphy’s in- tion and power! ¥ BSERVERS at San Francisco agree as to the impressive volume and genuineness of the ration that greeted the nomination of Gov. E, Smith of New York. ‘ ®°The people of this State may well be proud not te ‘only of the tribute paid Gov. Smith on the floor of ‘the convention but also of the many siggs of cordial Hiking and respect shown toward him by the wholé : great Democratic gathering on the Coast. “The enthusiasm for Gov. Smith was in no sense for Tammany. Those who cheered the e tion of Gov. Smith’s name were not cheer- ’ ‘an organization. They were cheering the man. @aWhen Bourke Cockran described his nominee as ~ faman who, starting in the very humblest con- has risen in the comparatively short space sixteen years to the second highest, as we be- ‘Bé¥e, position in this country; a man who has risen a peddler’s wagon, while .yet short of his to the Governar's chair of the greatest State the Union”—the ofator’ described’ the kind of career which appeals to the deepest of agclusirely, entitled te the use for, repubitention ‘berwipe to It of not ot credited ttle Paper THE EVENING WORLD, THURSDAY, JULY 1, force this ruling, little matters like oil leases, tafd tenure and clericalism should be simple. Transition from §,000 peso habiliments paid for by the Government to uniform uniforms paid for by the Generals will be the supreme test. If this does not cause a new revolution by the plucked pea- cocks, then there is hope for Mexico, Once Mexico becomes accustomed to Generals in olive drab there is hope that revolution will no longer tear the breast of the Mexican dandies and peace will reign beyond the Rio Grande. Senator Fall, it is fair to presume, will interpret this order as a plot against the Republican carididate for the Presidency. It deserves the unstinted disap- proval of the Mexican Association of Merchant Tailors, M R. HEARST’S latest renunciation of the Demo- i Party might well inspire the conundrum: “When is a bolt not a bolt?” Whether Bitter-Ender Reed follows William Randolph from the Democratic ranks as Bitter- Ender Johnson would not from the Republican Convention remains to be seen, The chances are better because Johnson got something similar to what he wanted, while Reed got nothing but the smart application of a well-shod toe. Whatever the outcome, the spectre of a Hearst- Reed bolt inspires no such abject terror at San Fran- cisco as did the threat of a Hearst-Johnson bolt at Chicago. : ; In fact, to those who value the good name of the Democratic Party and hope to sée the convention formulate a clean-cut, clear and concise statement of principle, a bolt of the followers of. Hearst and Reed would appear in the light of a desirable seg- regation, a removal of contamination, The more completely Hearst and Reed disagree with the San Francisco platform the better. Their opposition is a compliment. oe Both William Randolph Hearst and James A. Reed are well known, Comment on their actions is. almost superfluous. Evening World readers will recall the article by Mrs. Kellogg Fairbank, printed Monday, which told of the ousting of Reed as a Missouri delegate by the women members of the party in his State, Reed’s corrupt and degraded machine came close to put- ting him over as a delegate. The women of Mis- souri interposed an absolute veto which the conven- tion upheld. But to answer the conundrum: A bolt is not a bolt when the convention beats the bolter: to it. Then it is merely a good riddance to bad rubbish. WHEN A BOLT IS NOT A BOLT. LR kattigc, By J. H.

Vacation has begun. In thousands of families It must be confessed that during the summer New Yotk is anything but the best place in the world for youngsters. Fathers and mothers who enjoyed vacation days in small towns and in the country wish that it ‘were possible to combine the winter advantages of the city with the summer adyantages of the country. As many as can will get the young folks away from city streets and restricted playgrounds if only for a few weeks. But for the great. majority this 1s impossible. What then? The question is more easily answered now than it was ten years ago when the city was smaller and vacation expenses were not so heavy. Boy Scout and Girl Scout leaders are making plans for active leadership during the vacation, Even in the city the joys of Interstate Park and many camps are available at small expense and under the best of guidance, Scouting gives direction, supervision and safety to the play instinct, The Scouts have good times under voluntary discipline, do no better than to get into touch with the nearest Scout leader and ask his help in making the vaca- tion period more healthful, happy and instructive. CONTESTS AND CONTESTS. N the Pacific Coast beaches the bathing season is featured by prize contests for the most at- tractive bathing suits. The one-piece bathing suit for women is not barred, neither are dimpled knees nor fetching caps. An examination of some of the photographs af prize winners (one was print¢! in The Evening World yesterday) indicates that the judges of con- tests are not recruited from asylums for the blind, On the Atlantic coast beaches, too, we have con- tests, but of a radically different variety. 4 In this neighborhood the medals are handed out to the feminine bathers who adopt the least attract- 4 Paren(s with a sense of duty to their children can There is fine mental exercise and a lot of satisfaction in trying Take time to be brief. —— to say much in a few words. and the League,” in a recent issue, expressed the thought that Ireland could be helped by the entry of the United States to the League of Na- tions, or that through the League would come some form of home rule. I thoroughly agree with your article, but Mr. Cullen of Mott Avenue evi- dently thinks that the only way to obtain “freedom” for Ireland ,is to challenge Great Britain to “mortal combat.”” I suggest Mr. Cullen obtain the opinion of the real American people in and out of New York. Go into the towns and villages and ask the peo- ple there what they think of another war for the “freedom” of Ireland or other purpose. The writer comes in contact with all classes of people, and The ning World is right in say- ing “many American: sympathize I believe, as many do, that the Irish Question ‘can be amicably settled by the people in Ireland better than by the people in America, ‘As to the statement that “the Eng- lish King, with his nobles, cherishes the hope of regaining control of our country,” {t is such a ridiculous state- ment that sensible Americans will laugh at it, No nation on the face of the globe has any such idea, and no country would ever attempt the subjugation of our United States. In re “Prohibition,” I thank “Vir- ginia” for her (or his) letter, If the writer is a Virginian, I could quote an instance where a native of that State has been made a new man through the closing of saloons and Prohibition, Many of my friends, lots of them so-called tipplers and light beer drinkers, have expressed themselves time and time again in my presence as thoroughly satisfied with the loss of our ‘Tights.” The writer was formerly in the news- paper business and knows “what's what" in the wet and dry quertion.

Starting is a very small part of the journey. However well a machine starts, unless it will keep going, it is of little use. A machine that starts with a crank will go just as fast and just as far as one that starts with an electric motor. And there are many machines built years ago, and still starting with cranks, that will outpull and outlast more recently built cars which start at the touch of a button. Starting ability is as common with men as it is nowa- days with automobiles, ‘ Good starters are common, Good finishers are scarce. The initial impulse is easy to give. What taxes a man’s capacity is to keep going, under any and all conditions Almost any job looks attractive—from the outside. You tackle it eagerly and ‘energetically, for you see only the easy part of it. It is much like mountain climbing.’ The top of the mountain looks so near, the paths up look so easy, that crowds are persuaded to make the start. ing down, and presently only the most determined keep on going. Of course you must start if you are going to go. be prepared for something besides the start. end of the jourtiey is the last to come. If you are not a self-starter, don’t worry. Many men who have ‘had to be cranked go further and faster than those who leap into the pace without help. The starting, remember, is only a small part of the game. It is the fellow who lasts, who has grit and endur- ance, that goes through. And if you cannot go through there is no use starting.
