The theory that the shorter the day the more Jobs is one that cannot be maintained. The trouble with the world today is Pablo de la Llama, president of the Banco Espanol ct cuba. finds the high cast of supar a source of congratulation for Cuba. Cuba,! it appears, is populated by newly rich. They try very hard to feel properly sympathetic about our woes on the subject, bu: It's an ill wind that blows no one any good. The Cuban- banker really has something to brag about, .however. For he declares that prosperity has not turned Cuban heads, that they are putting their money in the banks and have only raised their standard of living in a modest way. "They have not become prodigal with their new wealth," he declares, "and a spirit of wise economy Is reflected in the new enterprises being start ed." - Of course, Cuba Is a wicked, non prohibitionist Island and they ought to be drinking themselves to death on their new-found wealth. But jit isn't working that way at all. All the drunks in Cuba are said to be from the United States! The Cubans go right on growing sugar -and sell ing nectar, working and putting their money in the bank.

As the tumult, and the shouting the Democratic leaders of the , jotry sre coming to a sober, reali .t'.on of the fact that It Is one thing , nominate a candidate and a dlf rent thing to elect him.

High officials of the American Federation of Labor told the delegates frankly that Mc Adoo was the one 'candidate who could secure the - organised labor vote ot the country. '- The women of the convention were almost solidly against Cox. Tjhey declared that American women would never vote for a candidate who; owed his nomin ation to New Jersey and Tammany liall. ; j.. ':.L., v': Taking the majority ot the' Demo cratic leaders at their word. Cox is an undesirable candidate. , He rep resents neither the idealism ot Wil son nor the great organization that secured the adoption of the Eigh teenth amendment. Bryan and the dry forces that he represents are solidly arrayed against Cox. lie cannot secure their support without repudiating the wets; and if he were to repudiate, the wet Interests his candidacy would remain like Mohammed's cot- keystone of his political edifice. Democrats said when Harding was nominated that his opinions on na tional questions are not generally known. Republicans can reply that Cox has never had any opinions on national questions, that his knowl edge of the country is limited to only so much of it as can be viewed from Ohio. j f t No presidential nominee of recent years ever found more rocks In his oath than lay along the road Cox must travel. ! dust nr. decrease (production.

If there, is a way out of this gaso line shortage, some one should give balem the big idea. B As it stands now, there is very lit tle conservation in the conservation attempts being made.

The revival of the Olympic games was conceived in 1988 by a French man "to prevent wars by cultivating confidence and friendship among nations through the games and ath letes." ! Perhaps there were not enough athletes-Imbued with the missionary spirit to work the miracle prior to August, . ism,; out something cer tainly went wrong with the scheme. The coming Olympic event in Bel- glum may assist in healing some old wounds and wiping out some ran cor. Let us hope. It is regarded as a sort of sacri lege to criticise or decry; anything in the line ot sport. Rudyard KIp- DUE FOR A LONG, LONG SLEEP. After Its life's fitful fever. Demo cratic control ot the country will sleep well. As the old hymn says. 'We never miss the music 'til the sweet-voiced bird has flown." The country was never so hungry for the melody ot Republican policies as it is today. Amid the grand sym phonic chorus of Republican effic iency' there have been a couple of plaintive Interludes ot Democratic administration. Such was the em-, ergence ot Cleveland . from some where to occupy the White House. Such was the rising of Woodrow Wilson from the bench' of the peda gogue to the presidency. The in terludes of Democratic administra tion have , been strictly in accord ance with the law of contrast.

President Wilson had hoped to make the election what he called "a great and solemn referendum. on the League of Nations. But the nominee stands on a. wet plank, and the plank Is outside the platform.
