A hideous gray atone pile, tall aeries of little cells, traps or cages, one above the other, looks out' upon the beautiful Hudson river. For their prisons ; and their graveyards, men choose a.

Tou have read of Jack Sheppard's prison, ' his last visit before banging, to the stone cell' where his maniac mother was chained to the floor on filthy straw. Too know the horrors of the debtor's prison that Dickens closed with his pen where the poor starved and others died of . what was ' called "jail fever" and apposed to be a visitation of God upon the locked up wicked. Tou know that Jail fever was really typhus, caused not by God but by body lice that, hideously crawling, carried the horrlbJe disease from the blood of one to the blood of another, through the prison mm. . - A different prison you vilt today.

SHREWDNESS IS SEEN IN Naming Lodge and Underwood to Arms Talk Embarrasses Demo crats and Pleases Republicans.

Presl dent Harding's selection of Senators Lodge and Underwood as American com missioners to, the armament conference la November i&s stirred up mors foment inside both the Democratic and Repub lican parties than, anything else since Inauguration day. or it means a com plete reorganisation, of, both parties In congress. It Is being csjd the shrewd est pouueaj move , In years. With one fell swoop Mr. Harding has embarrassed me AJemocrats and delighted, certain Republicans. fceverai Detnocrau are . 8tin ;noplnt Senator Underwood will -decline to' ac cept They tee! that Bonody. in congress --rHi-fluaiaif.tn?n; Ofor tfadV- vood ) tead: the- .fight Against th. fcpriff ,nu xax mm munexl jryjthlputilaaDa trarping: and experience, Mr.-ta?"der wood Hi fitted, to conduct ths minority Cght.;,.Notody, knows what w-enl on in Mr. rdioe's mind when he subtracted; Oscar Underwood rfroraifltra. tkanoctAtle streegth in congTsss by picking, llrr for the' armtfment - conference commission. The Democratic politicians say he must have, known he would be weakening his opponents. They admit he has a right u uo Ulau THET ABE OLD FRIESDS On the other hand. President Hard mg ana senator underwood are old friends. They were intimate in tha an. ate. Mr. Harding respects and admires the Alabama senator and entirely aside irom nines ior me post. Mr. Harding would feel more like bestowing the honor and prestige of an American com missioner to such an important interna tional coniereice on Oscar Underwood than any other Democrat It ia unlikely that Mr. Harding wanted to embamun the Democrats, though, to be sure, that is tne enect ot his action. In all likelihood. Senator Underwood will accept the place. He has already been quoted as saying the Democratic. ana Republican party lines should diss appear on international questlona , it. is an index or bis desire to "play ban" with the Republicans on forelen policy. Having the personal confidence ana trust or tne president and secretary oi. scaie. jar. unaerwooa win not be minority commissioner. as ior tne situation in the senate tne ligbt against Re publican tax ami tariff measures will have to be led by senators nucncocK or .Nebraska, Sim mons of North Carolina and Harrison of Mississippi. GETS RID OF LODGE But if the Democrats are io trouble, it is not a circumstance to what is be ing said inside the Republican party. The ' statement is made by some sen ators that thev president Is really "get ting rid of Lodge." It Is insisted that Republican- leadership In the senate has been far from satisfactory to the White House and that a graceful opportunity to reorganise the Republican leadership was welcomed. Again, nobody will ever know what actuated Mr. Harding, to appoint Mr. Lodge to the armament com mission instead of Senator Konx. for instance, who is a former secretary of state and actually dealt with foreign governments before. Mr. Knox. too. paid particular attention, te Far Eastern questions when he was secretary of state. PERHAPS LACKED COHFIDEHCE It is pointed out that if the president had felt entire confidence In the Lodge leadership, he would have chosen Sen ator Knox to represent the Republican party in the conference the man who has been the guiding force In Repub lican councils on foregn affairs for the last two years and Mr. Harding could then have announced. that, owing to the importance of retaining Senator Lode-e In his place as majority, leader. It was necessary to choose somebody else, and that Senator Knox was eminently Qual ified for the position. The logic of the situation-pointed -4o Knox rather than Lodge. That's' why the gossip about the leadership question , nas acquired a good deal of momentum. While 'Lodge Is absorbed in the duties of commis sioner to the armament conference. Sen ator James Watson of Indiana will try bis band: at the leadership game. But i there is no certainty . that be will b permanently at tne head of the forces. If he makes good be will run things for the-president. If he faCv the ad ministration win be compelled, to shift about again. 'The expectation la that 'Senator Lodge will be concentrating on the work of the armament conference, which may Jast- three to six months. That will be a long enough interval for Republican leadership to find Itself. 0 VER GAR. "AND LET -THE WORLD GO HANG OFFICIAL Washington, which watches oar Secretary of State Charles E.
