NEVER AGAIN FOR SAN FRANCISCO! Probably never rij?Tn will S.m Francisco function as ht to .mother r. at inn il political convention. No rlty ran b oxppctrd to liv down the ethical handicap which Fan Franciscans voluntarily placed upon their fair community. At the evening cf the democratic convention c-vorything w.is o diffrrnt from what conv-ntion vrterans hn.l evrr experineo in ionic and consclenfc-tleadenin service, or what frft trnurs expected, that the Goblen Gato city probably will nover aeain be voted as the nite upon which to name a standard bearer for either cf the jrrcat parties. 1 psjA'.rowjp Kns-HP 'oospurj tiBS Uf JOj cost no mor to live than thty began to swarm there. They found no graftinK. no oulncr and no R-indbaKsinpr. Kverywhere (hen- was politen.-!1 and a. friendly atmosphere. Apparently Fan Francisco hai left no stone unturned to dainapi' her reputation as a convention town. A Mtrancer's question proiluced a polite, intelligent AP.d infonrntive reply. Hotel clerks were glad to bo of service, not in the recrular perfunctory cfticial toplofty manner, hut in a real human-beinsr. plad-to-afe-you-cornf ortable way. It would be unbelievable were It not vouched for by two outstanding Rlob'-trottir.cr veterans Charles Edward Russell and Irvin Cohh. roih nrc shattered, nerveless and unntruni? from th-ir first few days in San WanrNco. F'verythlncr they expected is mls-dns every thir.R they never dreamed pofihlo Is consta ntlv rreent husily at work. They are not rharßfd a fortune for a room and menls In a hotel. only the regular rates. Ther Is no profiteering in anything. r.vn th- polirenien are courteous and pstonishlnly polity and helpful to stranpers. In a word. San l'r.-i r.c'ro is what the city' people expected it woul.' b plad of the chance to welcrr.e the delegates and visitor without a strinpr r. the fratrrnalism. How ran the city expect to compete with the preat convention robbery centers of the east?
ANOTHER KING FAILS IN TEST. For all the tine phrases about "putting country before love." Kir.p Alexander of Greece has been guilty. In abandoning his wife, of plain desertion. n offense which in this country often lands a man In jail. Scant sympathy will he pet from Americans. And Premier Yeni.elo.s 1 likely to fall in the esteem cf the people of this country for insisting that tho jour.R monarch pive up his wife. The only objection that has been raised to the n:arri;i' Is that it vn morganatic, that the bride vas rt of an equal rank with Alexander. Had fh" rem a member of a present or former reis:ninff family of Europe, n matter how decadent mentally or morall. thtrp would have ben no disapproval of the weddini:. The possession of royal blood would hie made vj; for all shortcomings, and nothing, it appears, can atone for the lack of it. Mrpanat;c marriages re recognized as fully bmdinc by the c hurch, the children are legitimate. a?d no other i-iirn.o riti take place during the l:vs of the contracting parties. Owlnfj t( her inferiority of birth, however. Alexander's wife could not be roi opr.'..t d as queen, and if they had children thy w o-jld have no rieht to suoc .".i'n to the thror.c or the entallcil property the father. Hn-c Ab'.xandrr must desert his brid and. in due course, divorce her so that he may be In a position to marry a princess who.- sin v'.ll 1 eligible to the throp.e ot Grer.-. Tie would cut a nuiui m.Te i. anly fi' if he uould abdicate rather than r'.e p his wife. And nil the h' rotes rhout putting "country lefore love" are likely to ;rove of p.o avail after all; for the days of kircs are nurv.brd and A' xan.lcr iny find hime'.f before lonp withcut : crown ns well as without hi love. The rli. rusting Fprctacle is but another illustration rf the decadence cf the "royal strains" of Kurope whl-h be'ens to an ancient as .uul are belr.K "scrapped" by or.e nation after another on the continent.
THE MAN AND THE JOB. Notwithstanding that employers are clamorir.c for help, there still are occasional comrlalnts from Individuals cf inability to rind Jobs. It is probably true that the common jobs, the jobs that pay a moderate wage, are the ones that may be obtained the meat easily. The ones that require the least trainir.r ani abül y aprr;r to be those in which vacancies occur moat frequently. Position that pay ig money, thv. require skill and Judgment m th holders, are n-t proclaimed by a card in the window nor are they hawked about. But that many Jobs are open is evidenced by advertisements in the newspapers. That any one who want work fhould be unable to pel it seems improbable. The real trouble in such caso lies. probably, not so much in inability to get a Job as in inability to gt the kind of a job one wants. A rrtan may hav a flr.e education and excellent mental equipment, yet if his training is along a line for which there is little demand he will have difficulty In placing himself in a remunerate e position. Th enly alternative for one who finds little de
mand for his particular talnt ia to adapt himself to something else, even though it offen lass financial return than he would like. It is true that one succeeds best in that line of work which he likes best. There are instance, though rare, in which the pleasure derived from the work done constitute no smll part cf the compensation. However. It appears to be the tendency of the age to count financial remuneration as the only compensation worth ror.fciderlng. The Joy o? doing good work appears to be a waning quality, if we do not misjudge the trend. We can readily romP'hend how one well equipped for responsible duties might find his particular held concreted, but for one to admit himself down and out because of such a condition H also an admission cf lack of persistency and adaptability. No man !:" entirely down and out unless he wants to b. He may be moneyless and hungry, but if an unconquerable s; irit survives there is. hope for him. He will grab the tirst opportunity, no matter what it offers, and thn look for Komethlng better. Today there Is no necessity for any man possessing health, no matter what his education, to be out of work. He can g t some kind of employment if he wants It.
The Tower of Babel
WORK FOR EX-PRESIDENTS. The question, what to do with our ex-presidents, is not of such moment as it used to be. The last two presidents graduating Into tho "ex" class hav shown themselves quite competent to handle their destiny in harmony with their own desires and thft demands of the modern world. It might be. said. Indeed, that Roosevelt and Taft have each played a part in our public life, after leaving the white house, not greatly inferior to the part they played in the. presidrny, continuing to be essentially pub-lb-men, interested In all that concerned the nation, though engaged nominally in private, pursuits. Pres't Wilson, if his health permits, bids fair to tollow these examples. If he does not seek any definitely public career, there are. plenty of private jobs already open to him which would enable him to earn a comfortable living and at the ame time give him opportunity for participation in public affairs. ' More than a .score of big universities are said to have offered him their presidency. Many big newspapers stand ready to take him on their editorial staff at almost any salary he may pane. And let it not be omitted that the movies, too, are after him. Precisely what role a film corporation proposes to give hin is not revealed. Possibly he would act as legal adviser, after the example set by former Sec'y of the Treasury McAdoo; but maybe not. Maybe one cf the big producers sees in the president big pAyir.g possibilities as an actor, and hopes to make him the popular rival of "Dcug" Fairbanks or some other favorite. At any rate, so far ns may be judged from these offers and from his own known temperament. Mr. Wilson is likely to follow the exaniple Fet by his immediate predecessors. It is the new fashion for ex-presldents. No more "dignified leisure," no more posing as "sages" aloof from affairs. Our retiring executives hereafter are destined to be characteristically men of affairs, continuing to serve the nation actively, as long as life remains or faculties permit.

ALL IN THE COB. Consider the corn cob! Up to a few months ago it ranked with the all-waste products of the earth, and as every field produces Just as many bushels of cobs as it dots of grain, that waste was considerable. Even father's old ripe didn't represent much salvage. But now, thankg to the research work of the department of agriculture, all this waste has been turned to productiveness, and commercial p'ants are being erected to mine the wealth that llC3 hidden in the lowly cob. Among the by-products to be extracted are an adhesive better than any previously known; cellulose used In making dynamite and other things; acetate of lime; and, most valuable of ali, furfural. This substance bears the same basic relation to the manufacture of dyes that flour does to bread. It has been so scarce hitherto as to cost $20 a pound, but can be manufactured from corn cobs at a cost not to exceed 20 cents a pound. Who would have believed all this of our old friend, and who can blame Sec'y Meredith when he bewails the curtailment of appropriations for research work so valuable to the country as thls?If our cot.gressmen paid more attention to corn cobs and less to politics, the country might bo better off.

Plans for throwing another farewell party for Abe Frank were being rapidly formulated today by some of the city's leaders. If the banquet cannot be given before Abe leaves, it will be converted into a welcome party for Andy Welsberg. John Chess Ellsworth is in the city for a short stay, we presume for the purpose of attending the South Bend Derby day at Springbrook on the Fourth of July.

TOO MUCH ARclUMKNT. On the western plains the sheepman goes out with several thousand head and one human companion. An ex-sheepman was telling of Frank Derbln, a fellow he once rode with. "Not a word had passed between us for more than a week and that night when wo rolled up in our blankets he suddenly asked: " 'Hear that cow bellcr? " 'Sounds to me like a bull. I replied. No answer, but the following morning I noticed him packing up. '"Going to leave?' I questioned. " 'Yes, Derbln replied. " 'What for?' " 'Too much argument.' "

Tili: FRONT POUCH. (Galesburg Mail.) The old family hearth of song and story haa been replaced by the furnace radiator, but long live the itreat American front porch! It's the family summer altar upon wjjich, of an 'evening, the folks lay down all the day's trouble and try their btst to be cheerful. It must be that good angels hover about porches. No doul't. there have been family quarrels at hearths. Put who ever heard of a family quarreling on a porch? But. maybe, there are no quarrels on porches because porencs arc wldo open and the neighbors could hear every word. And that is Just why it makes an ideal family altar. It brooks no concealment. It is the show window of family life. A man can't s?old his wife on the front porch and get away with it among his neighbors. Nor can a wife nag her husband and hold her reputation as a woman of sweet disposition. So tho front torch brings out the good that's In all folks, while th cross word, the frown and the. angry growl are kept inside. The well known function of the front porch as a courting place requires no extended remarks. But the porch has never been given the credit fciat is due it as a great American forum upon which neighbors get together in the cool of a summer's evening and exchange notes aboat the weather until ore of theuj aakt: "Well, who do you think will bo our next president?" And that starts a debate that doetn't end until 10:30 p. m., involving, as it does, vat problems of politics, economics and fore:gn relations. So God bless the front porch sanctuary of neighborliness and f rieralliness; altar cf all that is sweet in family life; show place for all our best qualities.
tili: wtckkd dip. I know a wicked little gnome Who comes around each day, To visit every single homo Where little children play. And when It's time to go to bed, He winks a wicked eye, And puts In every little hea-d The three words, "By and by." And when it's time to rise again, And leave one's pleasant dreams, He stands beside the bed and then His eye with badness gloama. . And little children wake and say, With such a drowsy smile, 'There isn't any school today. Why can't you wait awhile?" Whenever there Is work to do He's always standing near Behind a chair, or up the flue
To make the children hear. The wicked words upon his tongue. And with a frowning brow. Each little child, however young, Will murmur, "not just now." And all because this wicked sprue Comes round where children play, Or when they go to bed at night. And tells them what to say. It's really very, very sad. For children are so small. And if he's taught them to be bad It's not their fault at all.
Venus, Neptune is the dominant planet of the day, and this is to be construed in terms of the vague, eccentric, baffling and mysterious. It is difficult to forecast what may be the event of the day, but since the aspect in both - instancc-s In a benefic one, misfortune Is not to be expected. The subtle and perplexing may hold sway in many matter'"", business as well as social and domestic, with this quality particularly pertaining to the emotional ana romantic. Rash and impulsive speech and conduct should be avoided. The health may requiro attention. Those whose birthday it is may expect an unsettled but interesting year, with unusual experience elther in the realm of the romantic or the psychic. They should avoid quarrels, attend to business-. and care for the health. A child born on this day will be rash, headstrong, difficult to manige and romantic.

GRETCHEN. Margaret in any other lansruagre is just as fair and popular a name. Her translations and derivatives are legion. Germany calls her Margarethe, accepting her as the same be-autlful name which we use to signify a pearl. But the teutonic influence Is strong and it places its stamp Jndellbly upon all that it receives, so Margarethe was stralphtway cut In two parts and the latter syllable was contracted to Grete. The next step in the evolution was Grethel. a name which figures in various "Mahrchen." Out of this latter Gretcheri came to be formed, and it was rendered classical by Goethe in his immortal "Faust", where the unfortunate heroine Is affectionatel termed Gretchen by the German people, instead of Marguerite. Grel is an equivalent form and Mete Is sometimes ued instead or Gretchen. It was very fashionable in the time of Klopstoek's sway over the lovers of religious poetry. The pearl Is Gretchn's talismHnic gem. It will bring her charm, affability and many friends, and it will also preserve her beauty, according to ancient superstition. Monday is her lucky day and 7 her lucky number. (Copyright, 1320.)
