Piatt | mdrew today tendered his resignation ao President Taft as Assistant Secre- tary of the Treasury. In a spirited letter to the President, Andrew writes of conditions in the Treasury Department which are alleged to be due to the attitude of Secretary MacVeagh toward many of his subor- dinates. Andrew's letter of resignation charges ‘that subor@inates in the Treasury De- partment “have been hampered and dis- couraged ait every turn by Secretary MacVeagh's idiosyncrasies and his in- apacity for decision.” It contaivs a scathing arraignment of ‘MacVeagh’s administration “the government affairs,’ and created a sensation in bfficial circles. The hite House today made pub- lic a statement written by President Taft: “Mr. Andrew's SEE as As- sistant Secretary of the Treasury was requested, submitted and ac- cepted in yiew of his failure to obey orders given him by the Secretary.” A congressional investigation of Seeretary MacVeagh's administration . im the Treasury Department is im- pending as one of the results of the row.

Baird, 56 years old, of 1226 North Taylor avenue, died in convulsions at the breakfast table Wednesday. In a statement to Dr. W. L. Gallo- way of 1232 North Taylor avenue, hé said he had taken what he believed to be calomel tablets. Dr. Galloway reported to the Coroner that the symptoms were those of strychnine poisoning. Dr. Baird formerly operated a drug store, the report to the Coroner said, and he had a large supply of drugs stored in a room at his home. His sister, Mrs. A. W. Powell, with whom he lived, says he went into this room before breakfast. After eating a hearty meal he was seized with convulsions. When Dr. Galloway arrived it was too late to administer antidotes, Dr. Baird seemed to recognize his own symptoms for he said to Dr. Gallo- way, “I thought it was calomel, but it must have been satrychnine.” Dr, Baird took great pride in his col- lection of drugs and chemicals, but so far as members of his family know he had never pursued his scientific studies to the point to testing the effects of poisons on himself, as some famous ex- perts have done. Dr. Galloway says that his first glance at Dr. Baird when he entered the break- fast room, showed m that the symp- toms were those of Strychnine, or some poison of a similar nature. It was ap- parent, also, he said, that a very large amount of the poison had been taken. Members of the family say, Dr. Baird was a great believer in the efficacy of calomel as a medicine, and that at times he took eight or ten tablets as a single dose. Glass-stoppered bottles, very much alike, one containing calomel and the other containing strychnine tablets, were

His greatest asset was the fact that he came out strongly against Parker for temporary chairman. This was the first line drawn in the convention, and it. was protfably fortunate for Wilson that his side was defeated. F I had been selected for tempor- | ary chairman it would have been looked upqn as a thing to be ex- pected, ar“ a victory at that time would not have made any great im- pression on the country. But my de- feat stcrtled the Democtats through- out the land, and made them aware of the strength of the reactionaries. Hearing from home has been one of the prominent features of this convention. Probably. no other con- vention ever brought forth such a flood of telegrams, and these tele- grams had a great deal to do with the final action of the convention. JWilson’s name was in nearly all of them. 3 ‘ The weak point in Wilson’s cam- paign for the nomination was in the ¢. fact that some of his former utter- ances were used against him by his *opponents,sbut these arguments will not avail when addressed to the , progressive Republicans. I think that Wilson will poll more of the pro- gressive Republican vote than any other man we could have named. - The platform is progressive, the most progressive platform that any great party has offered to the pub- lic.

He is universally beloved and his defent was not a reflection upon is official record or upon his meral merits. The action of the Republican con- ntion made it necessary that the y' should be even more distinct- and outspokenly progressive than need to have been if Mr. Roose- t had been nominated—although could not have retreated from its vanced position in any case. is convention, too, laid unexpected hasis upon progressive ideas—a rt of reaction from its first mis- e in having the keynote sounded @ reactionary.

Mr. Clark’s managers did _ not seem to ¢atch the spirit of the occasion and were guilty of one mistake after another until their cenndiduate was put. in a position where the convention felt that he did not fit inio the requirements of the eccasion as nearly as Gov, Wilson, It is too early for me to measure the influence of my own part in the convention, as in every great con- test there has ‘been a realignment and I find some friends alienated and some opponents converted into friends. What a pity that one cannot have the same set of friends and enemies through life. It is so hard to part with those “who go from you and it takes time to get acquainted with those who come to you. “Did Best I Could Following Line of Duty.”’ HEN 1 left Nebraska I ex- W pected to play a minor part in the. convention. I. had: urged the committee to consult Mr. Wilson and Mr. Clark in regard to the chairman and supposed that the Convention would be opened without friction. Knowing that the managers for the various candidates would be in charge of the program, I thought that it might not be necessary for me to appear upon the ‘floor until after the candidate was nominated, But my plans were overturned and I was forced into a fight at the very outset in an effort to prevent the opening of the con- vention on a reactionary key. The presence of a great collection of rep- resentatives of special interests sug- gested the anti-Morgan-Ryan-Bel- mont resolution and then the de- mand for a poll in my delegation compelled me to make an explana- tion of my vote earlier than I had expected, There was no program, each act on my part being the re- sult of an -unexpected ma I did the best I could, following the line of duty as I saw it and can- not shrink from the -consequences, While I have recelved a great deal of commendation through tele- grams, I have received some criti- cism, but I expect the criticism to soften, when the facts are fully un- derstood. One encouraging thing is the denunciation I have re- ceived at the hands of Mr. Hearst. His attacks are so much like the attacks which he made upon me in 1908; when he lent his assist- ance to Mr, Taft that I feel that he raises a presumptian in my favor, for the platform in 1908 laid the foundation for the vic- tory which has been won in this convention, and which I belleve will be completed at the polls in November, a eee.

All it hoped for was the nomination of a candidate whe would lead the Democratic party to v-c- tory. Gov, Wilson demonstrated his He was entitled to the. nomination in such a manner as would remove all doubt of his success. He is an able man anda gr2at Democrat.

SENATOR WATSON OF WEST VIRGINIA: I feel satisfied that Gov. Wilson will carry West Virginia. SENATOR HITCHCOCK OF NE- BRASKA: The more I think of the nomination, the better I like it. Gov. Wilson is invincible. REPRESENTATIVE RUBEY OF MISSOURI: I regret very much that Champ Clark was defeated, but now I am for Wilson and success. I do not think that Gov. Wilson can be held responsible in any way for the differ- ences that sprang up in the conven- tion. We will give him Missouri. SENATOR POMERENE OF OHIO: I was very anxious to see Gov. Har- mon nominated because of his splendid udministration and legal ability. But Mr. Wilson is a great big man and I am sure he will take care of himself in the coming campaign on the stump and elsewhere, and when elected will give us a great administration. LEWIS NIXON: The. selection of Woodrow Wilson’is an excellent one. He is beyond doubt the leading pro- gressive of the country today. ALTON B.

He will have my support, and more, ev- ery Democrat in New York. It was a splendid choice and the convention de- serves great credit for its display of wisdom. This will be attested in No- vember.

Wilson is admirably equipped to discuss the issues on which this campaign will be conducted, with particular reference to the tariff and the high cost of living. The convention sessions have been long and the work somewhat arduous, but the result jus- tifies all the energy expended in a cause so good. No bitterness remains.

BY J. J. MecAULIFFE, A Staff Correspondent of the Post- Dispatch. BALTIMORE, July 3.—Singing . the same hymns and flying the pH ee flags the political armies of Gov. Wilson of New Jersey and Champ Clark of Missouri moved out of the conven- tion city this morning. | The Missouri delegates have accepted defeat gracefully and are called “‘game losers.” Before departing they paid their respects to the supporters of Gov, Wilson. Declaring their belief that a. winning t'cket has been named, the . Missouri leaders expressed themselves as follows: Joseph B. Shannon, chairman of the State Democratic Committee: Gov. Wilson is all right. He will carry Mis- souri in November by a rousing major- itv. There will be no sulking. The time for post-mortems has passed. It will not do to say how or why Missouri lost the naming of the next President of the United States. The opposition of a certain distinguished Democrat to the nomination of Champ Clark is not an issue.” Says “It's Wilson and Win.” A. M. QDockery, former Governor of Missouri: ‘‘As a loyal Democrat, I bow to the decision of my party. It will be ‘Wilson and yin,’ tn November. Gov. Marshall add’ strength to the head of the ticket. Oliver P. Gentry, Clay County: “There is no resentment in the Missouri dele- gation at the nomination of Gov. Wil- son. Everything that could be done was done, I believe, to make the Champ Clark candidacy victorious, We went into the fight with enthusiasm and de- termination, and now that we missed the goal of success we are all Demo- crats and Wilson men. I am glad Gov. Marshall was chosen for Vice-Presi- dent.”’ Senator William J. Stone: “The ac- ti 1 -! the convention speaks for itself. The Democracy of the country is united an' harmonious.’ Senator James A. Reed: ‘‘We will win with Wilson. We would have won, too, with C.amp Clark, but that is anoth- er story. Missourians never lay down or whine.” é Charles P. Higgins, St. Louis: I gave up hope when I heard that the Illinois. delegation intended to desert Clark and flop to Wilson. That was the beginning of the end. It is no use to discuss what might have been. Gov. Wilson is the choice of the great- est and most spectacular political con- vention ever held in the United States. Of course, he will be elected. Missourians Fight to Laat. With flags nailed to the mast, the Missouri delegates went down to de- feat. ‘Thirty-six’ for Clark they voted on the first ballot ahd “36 for Clark,” they called on the forty-sixth ballot. When an attempt was made to nominate Wilson by acclamation the Missouri delegates objected. As their last ballot Was cast they shouted for the Speaker.

CLARK HOPES THAT WILSON WILL WIN PLEDGES HIS AID): Offer of Second. Place Makes Speaker Demand That Bryan Admit He Lied and Retract. By Wire From the Washington Bu- reau of the Post-Dispatch. WASHINGTON, July * 3—Speaker Champ Clark returned from Baltimore weary, dejected and super-irritated. He ‘went at once to his residence and with few exceptions subsequently refused to see visitors. His contemplated denun- ciation of Bryan from the convention platform, followed by a stampede to his standard had not materialized. His all-night vigil at the home of Mayor Preston and the long day of waiting for the critical moment had visibly added alike to his years and hig temper, The tribulations and sorrows of Speak- er Clark did not end when he reached the shelter 6f his own home. A new application of acid to open wounds was awaiting him. Less than thirty minutes before the night session of the conven- tion opened the friends of Clark ear- nestly inquired if he would accept the vite-presidential nomination, Senator- elect Ollie James and other firm sup- porters of the Speaker expressed the opinion that he could easily obtain sec- ond place on the ticket. They volun- teered to make the fight of their lives for him, if the word were spoken. Conditions Clark Imposed. This was the last straw on Clark’s back, He brusquely informed his friends that he would take the second place only on two conditions: That William J. Bryan must issue a personal statement to every newspaper in the country announcing that he had lied concerning the Speaker and that his utterances were retracted. That Gov, Wilson must declare, through the public press, that he be- lieved all the declarations made by Bryan regarding Clark were false. Unless these announcements were made, Speaker Clark -told his friends, he would not consider the vice-presi- dential nomination. He would have nothing to do with it. Later in the night Speaker partly regained his composure made the following statement: “No set of men ever made a better or braver fight for any man in this world than my friends all over the country made for me. They have my heartfelt thanks. W'e never had money enough even to pay for an adequate supply of postage stamps and literature. I was tied down here by my duties of the speakership. I could, therefore, aid my friends very little. They made the fight, gave me 200,000 majority in the United States where Gov. Wilson and I competed in the primaries and caused me to lead on 380 ballots in the conveén- tion, In nine of which I had a clear majority. Nevertheless, the nomination was bestowed upon Gov. Wilson. “— never scratched a Democratic ticket or bolted a Democratic nom- inee in my life. I shall not change the Democratic Habit. I am too sea- soned a g0ldier not to accept cheer- fully the fortunes of war. “J will support Gov. Wilson with whatever power I possess, and hope he will be elected. “T lost the nomination solely through the vile and malicious slanders of Col. William Jennings Bryan of Nebraska. True, these slanders were by innuendo and insinuation, but they were no less deadly for that reason.” Then the Speaker took a taxicab ride to cool off. ” _The wife :of the Speaker was thor- Clark and ‘oughly exhausted by the tren ag of © keyed to the sticking point by deep: rooted resentment against Bryan. — requested the newspapet correspondents to hear a bitter tirade againet : many years.

WAS DEMOCRATIC TEACHER

: !: : }

He Was Not Conspicuous Stu- dent—Writings at 30 Won - . Great Attention. Woodrow Wilson has been a poll- tician all his life, in spite of that fact it is not yet three years since he en- tered politics. There is no contradiction these in statements. The avocation of 30 years has simply become his vocation. His earliest ,recollection is of the be- ginning of the crisis of the Civ|l War; of a man who-ran down a street in Staunton, Va., shouting: “Lincoln is elected and there'll be war.” Almost without interruptipn since that time things political have attracted hin most strongly. It is about them, and his study of them, that his success as a teacher centered, and it is about them that his fame as a historian centers. Now that he is in politics he has taken to applying concretely the conclusions he reached abstractly. Staunton, where he heard that proph- ecy of an epoch, was his birthplace, and Dec. 28, 1856, the date. He was chris- tened Thomas Woodrow Wilson, and he was “Tom” until he had been graduated from Princeton, in 1879. His father was the Rev. Joseph Ruggles Wilson, a Pres- byterian clergyman, who later moved to Augusta, Ga., then to Wilmington, N. C., where he lived when “Tom” was ready for college. The son's first train- ing for that period of life was at Da- vidson College, where he might, it is now recalled, have been a member of the bascball team if he had not been ‘‘so lazy.” Not Conspicuous Student. The clearest recollection of Dr. Wil- sor when he was an undergraduate at seems to be that he was Princeton, “built like a nall!” He was a good, bu* not - conspicuous student, and when he took his bachelor’s degree he ranked ‘ fortyfirst, ina class of 120—falling. just cutside the first third. From Princeton he went to the University of Virginia, from whose !°°" ated in 1882. . For two years, in Atlanta, Ga., Thom- as W. Wilson tried to be a lawyer. The - devious ways of the profession were too for him, and in i884 he was irksome back gn school, this time at Johns Hop- kins Wnivers.ty, pursuing a course in philosophy. He was happy once more, he found, and in the two years that he apem in Baltimore he definitely set out n the political trend that since has characterized him. His thesis, upon which his doctor's degree was granted, was ‘Congressional Government,’’ and although he was only 30 when he wrote it, there was enough of his vigorous, indeepndent per- sonality In it to cause it to be greeted ‘with more discussion than usually marks the appearance of such studies. The dis- gent as aroused was evidence of the t oughness with which the work had * f done, and “Congressional Govern- t’’ is today a text-book. m Johns Hopkins Dr. Wilson went to Bryn Mawr as adjunct professor of history. From Bryn Mawr he went to ‘Wesleyan University, Middletown, Conn., as professor of history and political economy, and the trend of his thought became more sharply defined. In 1890 his ways led him again to Princeton, where he became professor of jurispru- dence and political economy, his title becoming, in 189, Professor of Jurispru- dence and Politics. It was in this period that a very important purpose came to Dr. Wilson. No statement of it ever has before been published and most of those who knew of it at the time have forgotten it. However, one of those said to @ Post-Dispatch correspondent. “It was just twenty years ago that Dr. Wilson said to a Mttle company of us at dinner one evening: | “"Do you know, I believe that a man without aptitude In that direetion may deliberately make of himself a great orator. I do not mean eloquent, Mecessarily, but great in the appeal there will be in what he has to say. I am going to see about it, anyhow. _ ZT am reading Demosthenes every day.’ “Six years ago I chanced to recall this on another meeting with Dr. Wil- son. I asked him if he still read Demosthenes. He laughed, and told ' ™me that he had tried to in vain only :

ie if } £ F) ee : Dr, a few days before. But Demosthenes had given him his secret and he had no further need of him. Dr. Wilson talks today to a whole people, and in my mind there is no mystery about it. ‘He set about making it so, and it was 80. Isn't it " characteristic of him.” It wae during this period, also. that Wlison —* on to its fruition his “The State,”” which has, perhaps, made Woodrow Wilson a vivid personality to more students than - any other book of his, was published at this time. “A Life of George Washing- , ot “Revision and Reunion,” ” and “A History of the Amert- eer published in 1902, the year he was succeed Dr. Francis L.

He liked to sit and stead of lecture, anu he put doctrines whose effects may now in the most unexpected There are only two attempts at “horse play”’ recorded of his classes. Once a village tippler was lured into the room, only to be bowed out before he had reached the first of the laughs expected of him. Upon another ocasion a stu- dent annoyed Dr. Wilson by tapping on the floor with something that he was ordered to bring to the desk forthwith. In response to this command every stu- dent in the room gravely carried for- ward a firebrick, with which a wall was built about the teacher. As president of the university, Dr. Wilson brought about, or assisted in bringing about, notable changes. One of these was the institution of the pre- ceptoral system. Another was the threshing out of the quadrangle project and the question of the location of the graduate school. Dr. Wilson's opinion did not prevail, but the questions were settled. . Princeton Still His Home. Princeton is still Gov. Wilson’s home as it was President Cleveland’s. He moved merely from Prospect to a charm. ing house in Cleveland Lane, from which he traveled daily as his duties at Tren- ton called him, It is quite as near the golf links as was Prospect, and in that ‘ikead class- ‘that che er- ‘ead nis talk, m- forwerd found plaves. be

Dr. Wilson found an abiding satisfac- tion, ‘for golf is his game. This was put to the proof when he began to spend his summer at Old Lyme, Conn. Old Lryme has a golf course that will try anyone’s devotion to the ancient and honorable pastime. It is along the Lieutenant River, a soggy stream that winds reluctantly toward the Connecticut, and the course itself is laid out over salt grass meadows, whose only cropping is done by sheep that sometimes will make way for the player. Two other recreations find a place in Dr. Wilson’s scheme of things—limericks and detective stories. His store of the former is inexhaustible; regarding the latter his friends say -that he is ‘one of the greatest living authorities.”” In all these recreations Dr. Wilson indulges heartily. He is a good play-fellow and play finds allowance of his time. Mrs. Wilson takes an untiring interest in all her husband’s affairs. In the last three years she has become as practical a politician as he, and throughout the convention she follewed as shrewdly and as understandingly as anyone the per-

plexities of the developments.

GOV. WILSON HAS A TALENTED FAMILY

— Miss Margaret, Eldest ‘Daughter, Is Singer, Miss Jessie a Settlement Worker, Miss Eleanor, a Painter.

Special to the Post-Dispatch. SEA GIRT, N. J., July 3.—While the social glamour of the White does not appeal to the family of Wood- row Wilson, they would measure well up to its responsibilities. The wife and three daughters of the Deriocratic can- didate are women of simple tastes and charming manners. Of the Wilson .girls, one is just as pretty as a girl can be. The other two, while not of the beauty type, are de- cidedly attractive. They all possess the mental characteristics of their father, serious-mindedness, tempered with the keen sense of humor that gives zest to every moment of their living. Margaret Woodrow, Wilson, the eldest, is 26. She bears a striking resemblance to her father, even more so than her sisters, who insist, too, that they have his cast of features. Miss Margaret is the musician of the family, with ambi- tions to make her career on the concert stage. The White House probably would not alter her plans, for she is enthusiastically devoted to her career. The two eldest daughters, Margaret x TEXAS WONDER piadder troubles, removing gravel, cures ke, rheuma- House

and Jessie Woodrow, were born in Gaines - ville, Ga., where the family used to visi« relatives of Mrs. Wilson during Prof. Wilson's vacations while a member of the faculty of Bryn’Mawr College. Jes- sie Woodrow is now 2 and Eleanor Randolph, the youngest, born at Middle- town, Conn., while Dr. Wilson was at Wesleyan, is 22. School Work Began Late. The girls’ early education was much on the order of that received by thefr father from his clerical sire. The Demo- cratic candidate was not shown the cl- phabet till he was nine, but his mental growth was being stimulated by most unusual home tutoring. Mrs. Wilson, who is like her husband, a clergyman’s child, applied the same theories to Mar- garet, Jessie and Eleanor. Margaret never saw the inside of a schoolroom till she was 10. Her sisters also were taught at home by their mother and’a German governess. Before they were ready for school the family of the young professor was established in Princeton ar“ the children attended a private sct at- tended by Miss Pine, sister the Princeton dean. They were all, pared early for college. Margaret and Jessie both entered the Baltimore Women’s College, Margaret in 1908 and her sister a year later. At the end of her second year Margaret decided to give all her time tc ™ a beautiful mezzo soprano, ~— and resonant, but of rath

among singers, painters and stage folk, under training of Mrs. Lilian Gillespie. Margaret Wilson is a short, slender blonde girl, wiry and vivacious. She just loves golfing, with her -father, a dashing game of tenn:3s or baseball equally well. S’ dances charmingly, rides horseback easily as any South- erner, swims, plays basket ball,. tells stories and converses as délightfully as the Governor. She would be called the plainest of the Wilson girls; but with men or women she shines as brilliantly as her sisters. Miss Jessie Settlement Worker. Miss Jessie, the decidedly beautiful sis- ter, is also the most serious. She is a social settlement worker, and through this work in Kensingtor®, a suburb of Philadelphia; ,she has become. the youngest member of the National Board of the Young Women’s Christian Asso- ciation. Strangers mistake her for the youngest of the family, so girlish ane her face and slender figure. Before she had -graduated from the Baltimore Women’s College in 1908 she had decided to be a foreign missionary, but not be- ing robust was persuaded to take social settlement work at home. She has been devoted to the church from childhood, but is merry as a bell, is as much in- terested in athletics as her sisters. though not so strenuously. She plays tennis, rides, swims and dances. She is blonde, like her mother and older sis- ter, with a delicate rose complexion and large blue eyes, Once a month at least this slip of a goes to New York to committee or board meetings to deal] with questions that perplex associates older than her mother. All her work is voluntary, Shzx has bred in her through a long ances. try of ministers and teachers the love of service. Eleanor, the “baby,” is the only one who suffers a nickname. To the family and intimates she is “Nell.”” Tall, dark and attractive, she is often mistaken for the eldest of the Wilson sisters. When ready for college she ‘xpressed a desire to g0 to school in the South, among her mother’s people. Mrs. Mc- Neeley Dubose, wife of the President of St. Mary’s College at Raleigh, N. C., was an intimate friends of Mrs. Wilson, and Eleanor was sent there. Her aunt, Mrs. George Howe, sister of Gov. Wilson, also lives in Raleigh. After two years at St. Mary’s Miss Eleanor determined to follow the artis- tic bent inherited from her mother, and for the last two winters she has heen studying painting at the Academy of Fine Arts in Philadelphia. She is mow about at the stage where her mother abandoned her art studies in New York to marry Woodrow Wilson. Mrs, Wilson a Painter. Both mother and daughter exhibit a fine appreciation of tone and color. Mrs. Wilson did little with her paint- ing while her children were growing up, but in the last few years has taken it up again, unprofessionally, although often urged to exhibit some of her work. Miss Eleanor is.as lively as her eldest sister, and brimming full of fun. Her

visit to Chihuahua, Mexico, caused so much. newspaper anxiety last winter. She was there vi. ‘ing schoolgirl friends when the revolution became sérious and caused exaggerated reports concerning her safety. At no time, she said, was she. in danger. Rather, she enjoyed the excitement of witnessing a battle, and altogether, had a very fine time. Each of the Wilson sisters is a worker, with a purpose. Not one is the least bit priggish; rather, they exemplify all the democratic spirit that their father fought for at Princeton. Mrs. Wilson was Ellen Axson, daugh- ter of a Georgia Presbyterian clergy- man. She is naturally modest, and even more averse than her husband to self-discussion. She is. widely read, broad-minded and charitable, but firm as @ rock in her convictions that being the wife of a public man does not neces- sitate nor call for a woman's becoming a publicity seeker. Until the nomination was at hand, Mrs. Wilson resisted all appeals of photographers and interview. ers. She consented to the making of a family group picture only at the impor- tuning of personal friends. Interviews she has carefully avoided adh

MARSHALL ONLY 4 YEARS IN OFFICE INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., July 3.—Gov. Thomas R. Marshall, Democratic nomi- nee for Vice-President, has been ac- tive in politics many years, but he never had held public office until he. was elected Governor of Indiana in 1908, In 1906 he was asked by the District Com-

mittee to take the nomination for Con-* gress, but he aeclined, as he said he had strong personal reasons for not wishing to go to Washington, as a mem- ber of either House of Congress. “It isn’t very likely you would have to go,”’ said one of the committeemen, “but nearly every decent Democrat in this vicinity has been defeated for Con- gress once, and some twice. It’s about time you took a licking like a man and a Democrat. What do you want, any- how?" “T would take a licking al) right,” Marshall replied, “but I’m afraid I would be elected. The only thing I want from the party is a nomination for Governor.” Marshall received the coveted nomina- } tion, and was elected Governor by 14- 000 plurality, although Taft carried In- diana by 10,000.

Jl. LOUIS POST- DISPATCH. WEDNESDAY bE irsicbetiontie JULY 3,:1912.- elim PROG RESSIVE IDEAS A VENUE NE PR TARIFF, ESIDENTIAL TERM ADVOCATED : > Document Demands Enforcement of Criminal Trust Stat- utes, Favors Competitive Bidding for U. S. Bank De- posits, Recommends National Banks Be Allowed. to Lend on Real Estate, and Says Party Is Agency for Elimination of Corruption. BALTIMORE, July 3.—The progressive Democratic platform, which was adopted by the convention after the nomination for the presidency had been made, is a little longer and covers more points than did the set of reso- litions adopted by the Republicans in Chicago. Perhaps the declaration of most interest is that calling for an immediate revision downward of the tariff in such a manner as not to hurt legitimate industry. ‘The document declares the pledges are meant to be carried out and offers the pzrty to the country as an agency through which corruption, frau and machine rule in politics may be eliminated. Extension of tho presidential primary system, limiting »f the presidency to a Single term, and the com- petitive bidding for Government bank deposits are other important recom- mendations. The planks were written by William J. Bryan and Senator O’Gorman, and the Resolutions The platform follows: “We, the representatives the ‘Democratic party in nationa) conven- tion assembled, reaffirm our devotion to the principles of Democratic gov- ernment formulated by Thomas Jef- ferson and enforced by a long and il- lustrious line of Democratic presi- dents.” of TARIFF REFORM. We declare it to be a fundamental principle of the WHemocratic party that the Federal Goverrment under the Constitution bas’ no right or power to impose or collect tariff guties except for the purpose of revenve, and we demand that the col- tion Sf such taxes shall be limited o the necessities ef government ‘honestiy and economically adminis- tered, The high Republican tariff is the principal cause of the unequal dis- tribution of wealth; it is a system of taxation which makes the rich richer and the poo” poorer; under its oper; _ aticns the American farmer and ' Isboring man are the chief ers: saries of life to them, but does not protect their product or wage. The farmer sells largely in. free. markets and buys almost entirely in line pro~ tected markets. In the most highly Protected industries, such as cotton and wool, steel and iron, the wages of the laborers are the lowest paid in any of our industries. We de- Nheunce the Republican pretense on that subject and assert that American wages are established by competitive fonditions and not by the tariff. © We faver the immediate downward revision of the existing high, and in many cases prohibitive, tariff duties, insisting that material reductions be speedily made upon the necessaries of ife. Articles entering into competi- tion with § trust- controlled products «@ and articles of American manufacture which are sold abroad more cheaply than at heme, should be put witb the free list. We recognize that our system of tar- iff taxation is intimately connected with the business of the country, and we fa- vor the ultimate attainment of the prin- ciples we advocate by legislation that ‘will not Injure or destroy legitimate industry. We denounce the action of President Taft in vetoing the bills te reduce the tariff in the cotton, woollen, metals and chemicals schedules, and the farmers’ free list bili, all of which were designed to give immediate relief to the masses from the exactions of the trusts. The Republican party, while promis. ing tariff revision, has shown by its tariff legislation, that such fevision ie not to be in the people’s interest, and having been faithless to its pledges of 1908, it should no longer enjoy the confidence of the nation. We appeul to the American people to support ua ~in our demand for a tariff for nevenue only. HIGH COST OF LIVING. The high cost of living 1s a serious problem in every American home. The HMepublican party, in its platform, at- tempts to escape from responsibility for Present conditions by denying they are due to a protective tariff. We take is- sue with them on this subject, and charge that excessive prices result in a large measure from the high tariff laws enacted and maintained by- the Repub- liean party, an@ from trusts and com- mercial conspiracies fostered and en- couraged by such laws, and we assert that no™~ substantial relief can be se- cured for the people until import duties on the necessaries of life are materially reduced and these criminal conspira- cles broken: up. : ANTI-TRUST LAW. A private monopoly is indefensible and intolerable. We, therefore, favor the vigorous enforcement of the criminal as. well ax the civil law against trusts and trust officials, and ‘demand the enactment of such ad- ditional legislation as may be neces- sary to make it impossible for a private monopoly to exist in the United States, We favor the declar- ‘ation by law of the conditions upon which corporations shall be per- mitted to engage in interstate trade, including, among others, the preven- 2 tlon of holding compapies, of inter- | locking directors, of stock watering, er discrimination in price, and the _ eontrol by any one corporation of so «gad a proportion of any Industry as make it a menace to competitive »the action of the Repub- istration in compromising suffers it raises the cost of the neces~ | Jommittee agreed on the draft without friction. with the Standard Oil Co. and the To- Trust, and its failure to i-voke criminai provisions of the anti-trust law against the officers of tho rations after the court had dceclared that from the undisputed facts inthe record they had violated tie criminal] of the law. that the received depriving it an favor of legislation which Statute the streceth been depri by such interpretation. RIGHTS OF THE STATES, belicve in the preservation itenunce in their full st: erity the ® three cf branches the Federal Government— the executive, the legislative and the judicial—each keeping within its own Lounds and not encroaching upon the just powers of either of the others. Believing that the mcst e‘ficient re- sults under our system of government are to be attained by the full exercise by the states of their reserved sovereign powers, we dengunce as isurpation the rights reserved to them.and to enlarge and magnify by inairection porns aypregee of the I ederal Government. ar We insist on the full ex eres e oF all the powers of the Governinent, both state and national, to proiect the people from injustice at thé hands of those who tv» make the Government a private asset in business.

INCOME TAX AND POPULAR ELEC- TION OF SENATORS, We congratulate the people upon the triumph of two important reforms de- manded in the last national platform, wamely, the amendment of the Federal Constitution authorizing an income, tax and the amendment providing for the popular election of senators, and we cali upon the people of all states to rally to the support of the propositions and secure their tion.

Nearly All One Cheek Solid Sore. Very Fretful. Used Cuticura Soap’ and Oint- ment, Face All Healed Up. Kingsley, Mich.— ‘‘Last May my thir- teen months’ old baby had a sore come on her cheek. It started in four or five small pimples and in two or three hours’ time spread to the size of a silver dol- lar. Itsproad tohereye. Then water would run from the pimples and wherever that touched it caused more sores until nearly all one cheek and up her nostrils were one solid sore. She was very fretful. She certainly ‘was a terrible looking child, and nothing seemed to be of any use, Then I got some Cuticura Soap and Cuti- cura Ointment. She tried to rub off everything we put on so that we would sit and hold her hands for two hours at a time, trying to give the medicine a chance to help ner, but after I washed it with Cuticura Soap and then put on the Cuticura Ointment they seemed to soothe her and she did not off. It was only a few face was all healed up, enactment that the Federal Govern- pending. BOUND IN DEMOCRATIC ‘PLATFORM ——— 7 as a y Opposed by the Republican party, and, we commend the Democratic House of Representatives for extending the doc- trine of publicity to recommendations, verbal and written, upon which presi- dential appointments are made, to the ownership and control of newspapers and to, the expenditures made by and in behalf of those who aspire to presi- dential nominations, and we point for additional justification for this legisla- tion to the enormous expenditures of money in behalf of the President and his predecessor in the recent contest for the Republican nomination for President. PRESIDENTIAL PRIMARIES. The movement toward more popu- lar government should be promoted through legislation in each _ state which will permit the expression of the preference of the electors for national candidates at’ presidentizl primaries. We direct that the National Com- mittee incorporate in the call for the next nominating convention a re- quirement that all expressions of preference for presidential candidates shall be given and the selection of delegates and alternates made through a primary election conducted by the party organization in each state where such expression and elec- tion are not provided for by state law. Committeemen who are here- after te constitute the membership of the Democratic National Commit- tee and whose election is not pro- vided for by law shall be cho sen in each state at such primary giections and the service and authority of com- mitteemen however chosen shall begin immediately _upon the receipt of their credentials respectively. CAMPAIGN CONTRIBUTIONS, We pledge the Democratic party to the enactment of a law prohibiting any cor- poration from contributing to a cam- paign fund and any individual contribut- ing any amount above a reasonable r> .ximum., TERM OF PRESIDENT. We favor a sing!e presidential term and to that end urge the adoption of an amendment to the Constitution, making President of the United States in- ‘e-election, anc we pledge of this convention to this the eligible for 1 the candidate prin ‘iple.

We approve the measure reported by the Democratic leaders in the House of Representatives for the creation of a council of national defense which will determine a definite naval program with a view to increased efficiency and economy. The party that proclaimed and has always enforced the Monroe Doctrine and was sponsor for the new navy will continue faithfully to observe the constitutional requirements to pro- vide and maintain an adequate and well. proportioned navy sufficient to defend American policies, protect Our citizens and uphold the honcr ad dignity of the nation. REPUBLICAN EXTRAVAGANCE. We denounce the profligate waste the money wrung from the people ‘oppressive taxation through the lavish eppropriation of recent Republican con- gresses, whieh have kept taxes high of by the people’s toil. We demand a return to that simplicity and economy which befits a Democratic government, a re- duction in the number of useless offices, the salaries of which drain the sub- stance of the people. RAILROADS, EXPRESS COMPANIES, TELEGRAPH AND TELEPHONE LINES, We favor the efficient supervisisn and rate regulation of railroads, ex-., press companies, telegraph and telephone lines engaged in _ inter- state commerce. To this end we recommend the valuation of railroads, express companies, telegraph aad telephone lines by the _ Interstaic Commerce Commission, such valuation to take into consideration' the physi- eal value of the property, the origi- nal cost, the cost of reproduction, and any element of value that will render the valuation fair and just. We favor such legislation as will effectually prohibit the railroads, ex- press, telegraph and telephone com- panies from engaging in business with shippers or patrons; also legis- lation preventing the overissu- ance of stocks and _ bonds by interstate railroads, express companies, telegraph and tele- phone lines and legislation which will assure such reduction in trans- portation rates as conditions will permit, care being taken to avoid re- duction that would compel a reduc- tion of wages, prevent adequate ser- vice, or do injustice to legitimate in- vestments. BANKING LEGISLATION. We oppose the so-called Aldrich bill or the establishment of a central bank and we believe the people of the country will be largely freed from panics and consequent unem- ployment and business depression by such a systematic revision of our banking laws as will render tempo- rary relief in localities where such relief is needed, with protection from control or domination by what is known as the money trust. Banks*exist for the accommodation of the people and not for the control of business. All legislation on the subject of banking and currency should have for its purpose the se- curing of these accommodations on terms of absolute security to the pub- lic and of complete protection from the misuse of the power that wealth gives to those who possess it. We condemn the present methods of depositing Government funds in few favored banks, largely situ- ated in or controlled by Wall street, in return for political favors, and we pledge our party to provide by law for their deposit by competitive bid- ding of the banking institutions of , the country, national and state, with- out discrimination as to locality, upon approved securities and subject to cali by the Government. RURAL CREDITS, Of equai importance with the question of currency reform is the question of rural credits or agricultural finance. Therefore we recommend that an in- vestigation of agricultural credit socie- ties in foreign countries be made, so that it may be ascertained whether a system of rural credits may be devised c a ‘suitable to conditions in the United States; and we also favor legislation permitting national banks to loan a rea- sonable proportion of their funds on real estate security. We recognize the value of vocational education and urge Federal appropria- tions for such training and extension , teaching in agriculture in co-operation with the several states. WATERWAYS, | We renew the declaration in our last platform relating to the conservation of our natural resources and the de- | velopment of our waterways. The pres- | ent devastaiion of the lower Mississip- Valley accentuates the movement for the regulation of river flow by addition- al bank and levee protection below, and the diversion, storage and control of the flood waters above and their util- ization for beneficial purposes in the reclamation of arid and swamp lands and the development of water power, instead of permitting the floods to con- tinue, as heretofore, agents of destruc- tion. We hold that the control of the Mis- sissippi River is a national problem. The preservation of the depth of its water for the purpose of navigation, the building of levees to maintain the integrity of its channel and the preven- tion of the overflow of the land and its consequent destruction, resulting in interruption of interstate commerce, the disorganization of mail service, and ahe enormous loss of life and property, intpose an obligation which alone ¢an be discharged by the general Govern- ment. To maintain an adequate depth of water the entire year and thereby en- courage water transportation, is a con- summation worthy of legislative atten- tion and an issue national in its char- acter. It calls for prompt action on the part of Congress and the Demo- cratic party pledges itself to the enact- ment of legislation leading to that end. We favor the co-operation of the United States and the respective states in plans for the comprehensive treat- ment of all waterways with a view of co-ordinating plans for channel im- provement, with plans for drainage of swamp and ovérfiffved lands, and to | this end we favor appropriation by the Federal Government of sufficient ee TT Es a ee, ae . i funds to make surveys of such lands, to and reduced the purchasing power of fraise a false issue respecting the ju- develop plans for draining the same, and to supervise the work of construc- tion. We favor the adoption of 4 liberal and comprehensive pian for the de- velopment and improvement of our inland waterways; with economy and efficiency, so as to permit their navi- gation by vessels of standard draft. POST ROADS. We favor national aid to state and local authorities in the construction and maintenance of post roads. RIGHTS OF LABOR. We repeat our declarations of the platform of 1908 as follows: 7 “The courts of justice are the bulwark of our liberties and we yield to none in our purpose to maintain their dig- nity. Our party has given to the bench a long line of distinguished justices Who have added to the respect and con- fidence in which this departmeot*must be jealously maintained. We resent the attempt of ‘the Republican party to diciary. It is an unjust reflection upon & great body of our citizens to assume that they lack respect for the courts. “It is the function of the courts, to interpret the laws which the people €n- act and if the laws appear to work eco- nomic, social or political injustice, it is our duty to change them. The only basis .upon which the integrit sustice and protecilon of life, personal liberty and property, as judicial pro- cesses may be abused, we should guard them against abuse. “Experience has proved the necessity of a modification of the present. law iclating to injunction aod we reiterate the pledges of our platforms of 1896 and 1204 in favor of a measure which passed ihe United States Senate In 1896 relat- ing to contempt in Federal courts and rroviding for trial by jury in cases ot indirect contempt. “Questions of judicial! practice have arisen, especially in connection with in- dustrial disputes.

AGRICULTURE, We believe tn enceuraging the de- velopment. of a modern system of agriculture and a systematic effort to improve the conditions of trade in farm. products So as to benefit both the consumers and producers, And as an efficient means to this end we favor the enactment by Congress of legislation that will suppress the per- nicious practice of gambling in ag- ricultural products by orgunized ex- changes or others, MARCHANT MARINE, We believe in fostering by consti- tutional regulation of commerce, the grow of merchant marine, which shall develo and strengthen he commercial ties which b sister republics of the without imposing additional burdens upon the people and without. boun- ties or subsidies from the publig treasury.

Such laws and treaties are un-American and violate the spirit, not the letter, of the edie anh oth of the United States. We favor the exemption from tolls of American ships engaged in coast- wise trade passing through the Pan- ama canal. We also favor legislation forbid- ding the use of the Panama canal by ships owned or controlled by rail- road carriers engaged in transporta- tion competitive with the canal. PURE FOOD AND PUBLIC HEALTH, We reaffirm our previous declara- tions advocating the union = and strengthening of the various Govern- mental agencies relating to pure foods, quarantine, vital statistics and human health. Thus, united and ad- ministered without partiality to or | discrimination against any school of medicine or system of healing, they would constitute a single health service, not subordinated to any com- | mercial or financial interests, but devoted. exclusively to the conse cb tion of human life and effici Moreover, this health service ra sae co-operate with the health agencies of our various states and cities with- out interference with their preroga- tives or with the freedom of indi- viduals to employ such medical or hygienic aid as they may see fit. CIVIL SERVICE LAW. The law pertaining to the civil service —_ be honestly and ,yregularly en- orced to the end that merit and ability shall be the standard of appointment and promotion rather than service ren- dered to a political party; and we favor a reorganization of the civil service with adequate compensation commen- surate with the class of work per- formed, for al) officems and employes; we also favor the extension to all class- es of cival service employes of the ben- efits of the provisions of the employ- ers’ liability law. We also recognize the right of direct petition to Congress by employes for the redress of griev- ances. LAW REFORM. We recognize the urgent need of re- form in the administration of civil and criminal law in the United States, and we commend the enactment of such legislation and the promotion-of such measures as will rid the present legal system of the delays, expense and un- certainties incident to the system as now administered. THE PHILIPPINES. We reaffirm the position thrice an- nounced by the Democracy in national convention assembled: against a policy of imperialism and colonial exploitation in the Philippines or elsewhere. We condemn the experiment in tmperialism | as an igexcusable blunder which has in- volved us in enormous expense, brought us weakness, instead of strength, and laid our nation opex to the charge of abandonment of the fundamental doc- trine of self-government. We favor an immediate deciaration of the nation’s purpose to recognize the independence of the Philippine islands as soon as a stable government can be established; such independence to be guaranteed by us until the neutralization of the islands can be secured by treaty with other powers. In recognizing the inde- pendence of the Philippines, our Gov- ernment should retain such land as may be necessary for coaling:. stations and naval bases. ARIZONA AND NEW MEXI®D. We welcome Arizona and New Mexico to the sisterhood of states, and hearti- ly congratulate them upon their aus- picious beginning of great and glorious careers. ALASKA, We demand for the people of Alaska the full enjoyment of the rights and privileges of a territorial form of gov- ernment, and we believe that the offi- cials appointed to administer the gov- ernment of all our territories and the District of-Columbia should be qualified by previous bona fide residence. THE RUSSIAN TREATY. ¢ We commend the patriotism of the Democratic members of the Senate and House of Representatives which com- pelled the termination of the Russian treaty of 1832, and we pledge ourselves anew to preserve the sacred rights of American citizenship at home and abroad. No treaty should receive the sanction of our Government which does not recognize that equality of all of our citizens, irrespective of race, or creed, and which does not expressly guarantee the fundamental right of expatriation. The constitutional rights o American citizens should protect them’*on our borders and go with them throughout the world, and every American citizen residing or having property in any for- eign country is entitled to and must be given the full protection of the United States Government, both for: himself and his property. PARCELS POST AND RURAL LIVERY. We favor the establishment of a par- cel post, or postal express, and also the extension of the rural delivery sys- tem as rapidly as practicable. PANAMA CANAL EXPOSITION. We hereby express our deep interest in the great Panama Canal exposition to be held in San Francisco in 1915, and favor such encouragement as can be properly given. PROTECTION OF NATIONAL UNI- FORM. We commend to the several states the adoption of @ law making it an offense for the proprietors of places of amuse- ment and public entertainment .to dis- criminate against the uniform of the United States similar to the law passed by Congress applicable to the District of Columbia and the territories in 1911. PENSIONS, We renew the declaration of our last platform relating to a generous pension policy. RULD OF THE PEOPLE. We call attention to the fact that the Democratic party’s demand for a re- turn to the rule of the people ex- pressed in the national Uh ema four years ago, has rr become the ac- cepted doctrine of large majority of the electors., We again remind the |S agg mesg e pow o e e can | aay > t poem ves from the DE- fare made t misuses of the delegates’ power and the usurpation of governmental in- strumentality by special interest. For this-reason the national con- vention insisted on the overthrow of Cannonism and the inauguration of & system b which United States Senators could be elected by direct Dem tie ud and machine rule in American politics can be effected. CONCLUSION. Our platferm is one of principles which we Delieve to be essential to our national welfare.

Smith, Jack Johnson the principals in next Thursday’s fistic encounter, at which the rules governing the contest were to have been gone over section by section and instructions of the referee agreed upon, did not take place. and Jim Flynn Fiynn entered fignt. neadquarters at eight o’clock and announced that he Was ready. After waiting some ten of fifteen minutes for Johnson to put in appearance Flynn became irritable, and, appreSching Tom Flanagan, who has been in charge of the champion's training quarters, denounced the entire Johnson camp, intimating that the big smoke was a quitter and afraid to be there. He then left for his camp at Montezuma Springs, saying that he would return at seven o’clock Wednes- day evening and if Johnson was there well and good, but if he wasn’t there would be no conference and they would settle everything in the ring. A pecullar angle to Johnson’s absence from the conference and which caused some discussion, was the fact that Manager Flanagan said he knew of oo reason why Johnson did not attend, unless it was merely an erratic notion. Professor Watson Burns, be Johnson's chief second on the day of the fight, came into the fight head- quarters after Flynn's departure, and later on in the evening stated that he had been.sent there by Johnson as the latter’s representative and claimed to have already conferred with Referee Smith relative to the latter's interpre- tation of the rules and instructions and did not consider that any further conference was necessary. Afterwards Referee Smith, when approached on the subject, said while he remembered having spoken to Burns it was merely an informal conversation and not in; tended as an official conference or set- tlement of the questions involved and, so far as he knew, he and the fighters would meet Wednesday evening. failed to put in an appearance he might think them individually; but on that point ho had not fully determined and it was possible nothing would be done untfl the men entered the ring. Rain Prevents Taking of Motion Pictures at Camps of Both Boxers BFRREE SMITH said he took it for granted that Fiynn knew the rules, and the only idea of a conference ‘was that there would be no misunderstanding, once the men Lad entered the ring. . There is no denial of the fact that Johnson knew of the conference called for Tuesday evening, and up to a late hour last night no satisfactory reason has been given for his failure to attend. The training camps of Johnson and Flynn were invaded today by the mov- picture operators, but the results were not satisfactory because of rain, and dust storms which made their appearance and interrupted the pro- The effort to obtain pictures had to be given up at Flynn’s camp and an- r atatempt was made Wednesday morning.

ITCHER JOE WOOD of the Boston Red Sox is one of those deserving unfortunates who ‘win but tardy smiles from Fame. While Marquard, Johnaon, Walsh, Mathewson and the rest have basked in notoriety, Wood, who goes along performing brilliantly, barely gains an oc- casional nod of recognition. _Wood's performance with the Boston team places him with the very pick of both leagues. Undoubtedly he has a good hitting team back of him; but equally, beyond doubt, is the fact that Wood has to compete against the best slabmen of rival clubs every time he goes to the firing line, RECORD PASSES JOHNSON’S, Daily we hear about Johngon, whose per- formance this season, as well as of Marquard., Walsh and Jack Coombs, But it's Joseph Wood who is delivering the goods with won- derful surety. Joe’s record {gs 16 won and 8 lost, this year, and it has been approximately an accident when they beat him. If Joe were a little huskier, and more of the tron- man stripe, Walter Johnson would have to take a back seat to the Bostonian. As it {s.

By CLARENCE F. LLOYD. Shortstop Johnson, the property of the Chicago White Sox, but at present play- ing with the Logan Squares of Cil- cago, is being sought by the Browns. It is probable that he will be turned over to the St. Louis club before the Callahan clan departs from the city. Johnson was tried out by the Sox, but because Manager Callahan had a sur- plus supply of infield talent, he was transferred to the Dubuque (Three I League) team. He refused to go there, however, because that elub would not pay him the salary demanded. Since he was turned adrift by the Sox, he hag been playing a good game in independ ent circles in Chicago. Manager Stovall has been told that Jonnson is of big League caliber and is eager to give the youngster a trial. It i8 believed that no difficulty will be en- countered in having him reinstated if the White Sox are willing to send him this way. Nelson to Accompany Team. **Red’’ Nelson will accompany the Browns on the Easterfi junket. His future address will aleo depend.on “what he.does on this trip. Manager Stovall “Is displeased with the showing made by ‘‘Powdér’’ In the final of Sunday's double” bill ‘against “the Naps, but because the Browns have several extra gaines, especially seven shows In four days in New York, ‘‘Red’’ wil! have a chance to pitch. ‘Red’ Roche, the St. Louls University boy who ts an infleider, may also be taken along. Because such native-born St, Louisiags ac Art, Hofman, Vin Campbell, ‘Lefty!’ Lael.) field, Ed Reulbach and Bobby Byrhé have made good in the big show, Manager Stovall is eager to have some of the loca! talent make good for the Browns. That’s the rea- son Bert Lowrey, the Christian Brothers’ Col- lege twirler, and Roche will get ample op- portunity to show their worth. Jawn Powell, Elmer Brown and the two twirlers who perform Wednesday will prob- ably be left at home and will rejoin their mates at Cleveland Saturday. Only two games, July 4, will be played in Detroit after which the club jumps to Napland., Jautzen Is Making Good, Manager Stovall seems to have added a valuable young player to the Browns’ ranks in Walter Jantzen, the former United States Leaguer. A continuance of his present work in right ficld will mean much to the Sport- man's Parkers. Jantzen doesn’t gather in the balls driven his way with the grace of a Cobb or Speaker, but he hasn’t made any mistakes to date. He covers a lot of ground and seems well able to go back for long hits. His batting in the “Cleveland end Chicago games has been good while his speed is sure to aid him con- siderably. on two plays Tuesday, both of which tape have been declared base hits, It Manager Stévall is able to add aad capable infieider to his ranks it will improve the Browns considerably. It is Stovall’s plan to make an outfielder of Pratt and when he is able to shift Derril)l to the pasture it will give the team a fair trio of gardeners in Pratt. Shotton and Jantzen.

FILL ROOM High Tension at Convention Is Softened by Sympathy for Delegate.

By A ted SAN ANCISCO, July 3.—An oper- ation may be necessary to save the life of Mrs. Sarah Platt Decker of Denver, former president of the General Fed- eration of Women’s Clubs, who was tak- en ill here yesterday when in attend- ance at the eleventh biennial convention of the federation. Mrs. Decker is suf- fering from intestinal congestion. Dr. Cornell de Bey of Chicago, also a dele- gaté to the convention, is attending Mrs. Decker. ‘We will make known in a few hours whether it will be necessary to oper- te,” said Dr. de Bey. ‘“Uniess there is a sudden turn for the better, an op- tration seems unavoidable. The trou- ple became unexpectedly serious early his morning, but we have every hope of nging Mrs. Decker through safely.”’ ‘High tension in the contest for the presidency of the Federation was soft- aned by the appeal to feminine sym- thies and the genuine distress felt ver the sudden illness of Mrs. Decker. Mrs. Decker was stricken last night /iyand was removed to a sanitarium.

DR. ROBINSON AND WIFE REUNITED BY LOVE FOR BABY Dentist’s Visits to Mother and Child After Its Birth Results in Reconciliation.

DIDN’T WED FOR MONEY

Discovery She Is Not an Heiress Also Gives Him a Chance to Prove His Loyalty.

A baby boy has settled the differences that estranged Dr. Jesse R. Robinson, dentist and athlete, and his wife, Mrs. Manette Thiel Robinson, who, @xcept for the legal formality, virtually was an adopted daughter of the late G. H. Thiel, 4024 Lindell boulevard, founder of @ detective agency that made him wealthy. The baby, who has been christened Jesse B. Robinson Jr., is sojourning with his mother at the home of Dr. Rob- inson’s relatives in the country. He is a healthy little fellow of such charm, his parents say, that through their love for him and their mutual affection, they have forgotten the many things that estranged them. Among them were a divorce suit filed and lost by Mrs. Robinson, aw subse- quent threat of Dr. Robinson to sue for divorce, and the revelation by one of Thiel’s daughters, Mrs. Leonora Thiel Clanahan, that Mrs. Robinson never was legally adopted by Thiel and Was not mentioned in his will. This revelation, Dr. Robinson told a Post-Dispatch re- porter, was one of the things that helped bring about family harmony. It came when Dr. Robinson was contemplating the filing of a divorce petition, and it gave him an: opportunity, he says, of proving to his wife that he wanted her, and not what she might inherit. Calis on Wife and Baby. The baby was born at the Thiel home, where Mrs. Robinson went to reside after leaving her husband. Dr. Robin- son began inquiring daily as to the wel- fare of Mrs. Robinson and his son, and finally called to see them. A reconcili- ation followed and the Robinsons now rave re-established their home at 5896 Delmar boulevard, just across the street | @live. from Dr. Robinson’s office. ‘When I was married,”’ he told a Post- Dispatch reporter Wednesday, “I sup- posed my wife was the daughter of Mr. Thiel, but the fact that she might in- herit part of the Thiel estate had no influence on my choice. When I learned, right at the height of our troubles, that she was not his daughter, I resolved to win her to. me again. -Not for the world would I have had her go away from me forever with the impression that I had married her for money and not for love. “TI wanted to prove td her that I cared for her» and for her alone, and that her parentage, social standing and finan- cial prospects did not make any dif- ference, as long as she cared for me. “Troubles Were Fooligh.” “Our troubles, after all, were so lit- tle—so foolish, in fact—that I do not care to say what they were. They were too foolish to talk about. When the baby came, it did not take long for him to put a finish to them. “IT go out.to. the country nearly every Friday evening and remain with Mrs. Robinson and the baby until Monday. They are with my relatives. Mrs. Rob- inson often comes into town to see me during the week. ‘ ‘“Fhere is no excuse for the telegram which Mrs. Clanahan voluntarily sent to the Post-Dispatch from New York last January to announce that Mrs, Robinson was not adopted by the Thiel family. As I have said, I did not marry for money. Mrs. Clanahan merely .was try- ing to stir up more trouble for my wife, with whom she has not agreed for some time. _I suppose she thought I certainly would sue:for divorce when I learned that Mrs. Robinson was not to get part of the estate. The revelation, however, had just ‘the opposite ‘ effect,"’ Dr. Robinson and Miss Thiel, as she was known from early childhood, éloped to Carlinville, Ill, Oct.» 12, 1910, and were married there. The following August, Mrs. Robinson sued for divorce, alleging that her husband took her pet dog away in February and permitted his mother tc invade the home. Her mother-in- law, she alleged, potions 4 telephone calls and always kept a watch upon her. Divorce Talk Silenced. Judge Fisher denied Mrs.. Robinson a decree last December, holding that her complaint about the loss of a dog and about the alleged conduct of her mother-in-law did not furnish suffi- cient ground. Immediately thereafter. Dr. Robinson let it be known that he contemplated filing a divorce pe- tition. Then Mrs. Clanahan sent her tele- gram, explaining that Mrs. Robinson. although not an orphan, had _ been taken into the Thiel family as-a very little child because she seemed su- perior o.her surroundings and worthy of.greater opportunities than her parents, who were not prosper- ous, could give her. The telegram halted the talk of divorce, and later Jesse R. Robinson Jr. came and silenced it for good, his father says.

KEPT FROM VISIT, GIRL ENDS LIFE I A WELL AT NiGnl Parents Can Give No Other Reason Why Illinois Farmer’s Daughter Drowned Herself.

LEAVES NOTE ON. TABLE

Father and Mother Find Body, but Are Too Late to Be of Avail.

Miss Hilda May, 22-year-old daugh- ter of Otto May, a retired farmer at Marine, Ill., near Edwardsville, drownga herself in a well home early Wednesday. The only reason assigned by her parents is that she was despondent because they had. forbidden her to visit and spend the night with a girl friend, Miss Sadie Byron of Alton. Miss May Saturday attended a dance given by the Aurora Club at St. Jacob, Ill., and remained there with friends until Sunday afternoon. When she returned home she told of her plan to visit Miss Byron. Complains of Headache. At the time set for her departure for Alton Monday afternoon» she complained of a headache. Her moth- er and father told her they didn’t believe she was well enough to make the trip. She argued with them, but they would not.give their consent.

Domenico Amello, who was convicted of sending blackhand letters by a jury in the United States District Court Tuesday was sentenced to the peni- tentiary for five years by Judge Dyer Wednesday. The Judge disregarded a plea for clemency sent in ,by the foreman of the jury, on the ground that Amello was the tool of others. Dyer gave Amello a chance to say whether he had acted for others, but: the man’s. at- torney said Amelio still insisted he was Innocent. Corrado Cologero di Giuseppi ane Philip Viviano, who pleaded guilty to a similar offense, Monday, were sen- tenced to two years and a year ard ‘a half respectively. Judge Dyer accepted the recommendation of District Attor- ney Houts, who asked mercy for the men because they had acknowledged their guilt. The Judge said he was moved to leniency also because of the youth of the prisoners, both being under 21. In pronouncing sentence Judge Dyer called their offence. “‘the most infamous of crimes”

By associated Press OYSTER BAY, N. Y., July 2.—‘‘I shall, of course, continue to stand for the pro- gressive nomination,” said.Col. Roose- velt, after he had heard of the nomina- tion of Woodrow Wilson. The former President stated his belief that even the Democratic, as well as the Repub- lican convention, demonstrated the need of a new party. The national conven- tion of the new party will be held ia Chicago, it was decided, during the first week of August. This is Roosevelt's statement: “Before I left Chicago and again at Oyster Bay, when Comptroller Prender- gast of New York came out to see me, I stated that the third party movement and my candidacy would not, be in any way affected by the outcome at Bal- timore. I never go into a fight on a contingent basis. I shall, of course, continue to stand for the progressive nomination. “TIT have just been going over with Senator Dixon the call which is abour to be issued by the Provisional Commit- ——

BSOLUTELY refusing, by a A vote of 2 to 1, to indorse Pres- ident Taft, or the action of the Republican convention held re- cently in Chicago, the Republican State convention of South Dakota here last night adopted a platform which makes no mention of Taft or national issues. The conventiog selected five pres- idential electors bearing the Roose- velt label.

tee for the progressive national conven- tion. To my mind, what has gone on in Bal- timore for the past 10 days has shown the utterly irreconcilable nature of the elements within the Democratic party, elements so irreconcilable as to make it hopeless to expect for them any promi- nent reform movement along construct- ive lines. “It has also shown that any sini tion ‘obtained at Baltimore could, aft- er all, be obtained only by the sup- port of men like Mr. Taggart in Indi- ana, and Mr. Sullivan, in Illinois, and the success of the candidate at the polls, without regard to his personality, would be conditioned, not only upon the hearty support of Mr. Taggart and Mr. Sul- livan and the colleagues and representa- tives in every other state,’ from New York to Colorado, but would also be conditioned upon these men succeeding in carrying their several state tickets and in perpetuating themselves in con- trol of the Democratic party.”’

THA POST-DISPATCH PLATFORM. I know that my retirement will make no difference in its cardinal principles, that it will always fight for progress and reform, never tolerate injustice or corruption, al- ways fight demagogues of all parties, never belong to any party, always oppose privi- leged classes and public plunderers, never lack sympathy with the poor, always re- main devoted ,to the public welfare, never be satisfied with merely printing news, al- ways be drastically independent, never be afraid to attack wrong, whether by preda- tory plutocracy or predatory poverty.

— MR. BRYAN’S GREAT SERVICE. By some Mr. Bryan’s course in the early part of the convention coukd not be disassociated from selfish motives, from a desire on his part so to confuse the situation as to bring about his own nomination. The full record of the convention must digsipate such suspicions. He telephoned Gov. Wilson that he is very happy over the out- come, and he has reason to be happy. Mr. Bryan is a bigger man in the eyes of the people than he has ever been before. He has per- formed one of the greatest services ever rendered to Democracy, and supporters of all candidates will acknowledge it‘in time. His stand for prin- ciple will be the more appreciatively recognized by the people because so much in contrast with the selfish attitude of his Republican rival in progressive eset ttl

Apropos of Wilsan’s siintinaion the local Taft organ remarks: “Providence is still with the Republican party.” It may be now, but in the November landslide we are inclined to think that Wilson will carry Providence too. Lh, hi hn COL. WATTERSON AND COL. HARVEY. - We cannot help rejoicing just a little on the side with Colonels Hen. Watterson and G. Har- vey. These Colomels deserve a little attention of their own amid the general felicitations. In a large sense the victory is their own.: No two active supporters of Woodrow Wilson ever did him as much good as these valiant Colonels did when they separated themselves from him. A presidential candidate with one such Colonel for an enemy would be fortunate indeed. A can- didate with two such must be invincible. To these Colonels, then, who bore such honorable part in ‘the making of Wilson—salutations! felicitations! wreaths and garlands! See what they have done! == = — a.

aD With less than4800 in the convention, 306 stuck by Grant for 35 ballots. With nearly 1100 in the convention 107 voted for Roosevelt and 342 of his supporters refused to vote: Third-termism does not seem in 42 years to have gained much ground. ~_ > ~~" Ss SS COLONEL« CULPEPER IS HERE. With desperate: joy we hailed the recent news from Culpeper Creek, Ky., that Col. Culpeper himself was about to translate his household and his famous Wanypus strain of foxhounds to &t. Louis County. Ithis with a pleasure almost mor- bid in its intens&ty that we now announce this actual advent of! such promise to the sporting life, the life social and doubtless even the life political of our countryside. The Colonel has come, Scorning travel by rail, as became his old- school prejudices, he set out bestride his thor- oughbred, followed by his darky boy, Eph, on the blue mule, then the pack led by old Wampus Il, with Aunt Dimah, champion beat biscuit cook of Gaines County, plumply and complacently bringing up the near in a spring wagon. Thus they journeyed to Cloverport, whither they em- barked on the Ohio packet “Fashion;” changing at Hvansville tothe less ostentatious packet “Pride of Paducah;” transferring again to a Mis- sissippi vessel of tthe Bagle brood, and eventually debarking at Peactiblow Landing to- conclude their triumphant ;progress in picturesque caravan. Ensconced now'in his comfortable habitat that is just set in the edge of a shady bosquet near a mint-scented ravine and a purling spring that in itself suggests a Wistillation, the Colonel writes back feelingly to his home papér, the Culpeper. Greek Clarion, from which we makc bold to re-

' WOODROW WILSON. ‘ The nomination of Gov. Wilson solves all prob- lems, not only for the Democratic party, but: for the American people. It brings order out of political chaos. It erects a Democratic standard to which citi- zens of all parties who abhor predatory bossism and want progress under the Constitution may re- pair. The personal victory of the man is swallowed up in the clean-cut triumph of Democracy over plutocracy. The value of the victory lies in the fact that there was no uncertainty about the issue. It was not confused with personalities or with doubtful political experiments. The fight was on the fundamental issue between government of, by and for the people and government of and by the bosses for the predatory interests. The Baltimore battle was the real political Armageddon. There the progressive Democracy met and defeated the allied bosses of both the old parties. The reactionary victory in Chicago was nullified, and Col. Roosevelt's — was met by the Democrats. All the vital issue in the Roosevelt campaign was embodied in the Democratic nomination and the Democratic platform. Col. Roosevelt has neither a cause to fight for nor a reason to fight. His progressive followers can serve their cause best by enlisting with the reorganized and purt- fied Democracy. Gov. Wilson has an unparalleled opportunity to serve his party and his country. His nomination was won under ideal conditions. It was the re- sult of an open war on bossism in which he and all who fought with him stood unqualifiedly for the people’s interest and for the destruction of the political power of organized greed. There was no compromise. Public opinion forced his nomi- nation. The nominee has no hampering obligations nor shackling alliances. He is free to serve the in- terests of the people at every point. He is free, if the power is placed in his hands, to strike down the governmental bulwarks of privilege. He can restore the Government to the control of the people. But Gov. Wilson has a larger opportunity for public service. He will be more than a party leader in the cause @ the people. He will be the defender of constitutional, representative govern- ment. If elected, he will demonstrate the sound- ness of his own theory, that all progress is possi- ble under the Constitution and that the only real progress for the republic is constitutional progress. It was our profound conviction that Woodrow Wilson is the man to meet the existing crisis in American politics that led the Post-Dispatch to} urge his nomination as the necessity_of the situa- tion and the salvation of the Deinocratic party. No other living public man surpasses the Néw Jersey Governor -in intellectual equipment. He has demonstrated ‘his honesty and independence, He has given. signal proof of hig executive ca- pacity. His ideal of public service is high. He is thoroughly: grounded in American principles and in political science. He combines brilliancy with judgment. He can expound his ideas with rare simplicity and clearness. He has a compre- hensive knowledge of our political problems. He has a profound sympathy with the aspirations of the people and a large vision of the possibilities of gocial progress under democratic institutions. He has faith in democracy. Gov. Wilson is not only free from entangling alliances, but had no personal part in the bickerings of the convention. Although he stood with Mr. Bryan in the latter’s heroic struggle against bossism, he is not responsible for Mr. Bryan’s own acts and utterances. Mr. Bryan’s enemies have no just cause for animosity against Gov. Wilson, whose conduct during the convention was exemplary. The character of the man and the conditions of his nomination foreshadow a united Democracy, reinforced by progressive Republicans, fighting in the larger field of the national election the bathe for the people so well begun at Baltimore. When their bitter personal disappointment has paseed, Mr. Clark and his friends will recognize the logical necessity of the convention’s action. They will realize that the betrayal of the Speaker by his unprincipled and shifty managers made his defeat inevitable. His candidacy was the victim of men like Senator Stone and former Govs. Francis and Dockery, who know nothing of the sincerities of progressive politics and still rely upon the bosses’ caucus and the secret deal. They were caught and exposed in the act of conspiring with the enemies of Democracy. Nothing but treachery can prevent the election of Gov. Wilson next November. But we do not believe that boss treachery is equal to the task of overcoming the progressiye tide. Democratic success is assured. oo

The announcement from Oyster Bay is that honeyfugling will be resumed Aug. 1.

Baltimore preened itself on its superior climate when its charms as a convention city were argued against the modest attractions of St. Louis. While Baltimore has been sweltering, St. Louls of late has been sleeping under blankets, so to speak, But it is rather the failure of the Balti- more menu than its disappointing climate to

They do say, however, that real chicken a la interest in this, and our sympathy with the vis- itors, arise by virtue of the fact that the justly celebrated a la in question was invented in St. Louis, and, so far as we know, it cannot be du- plicated anywhere else at any price. It can al- ways be had everywhere in St. Louls—the dear old Maryland style! Delegates from Baltimore who would like to taste one of Maryland’s genre institutions had better stop off here on the way home. St. Louis may be recommended as the very best city to adjourn to for something to eat after con- vening elsewhere. he A i -— a Mr. Bryan on one ballot got one-half a vote from Virginia.

I thank you for your nomination.—Theodore Roosevelt at Chicago, June 22, 1912, — == " — a LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE What Defeated Clark. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. The Republic is indignant against Bryan be- cause of the failure of Clark to obtain the votes necessary for his nomination for the presidency. It may be remarked that most, if not all, of these gentlemen who fret the air with lamentation are of the famous light brigade of St. Louis, who followed the flag of Palmer and Buckner against the nominee of the Democratic party tn 1896, “Methinks they do protest too much.” Mr, Bryan in the convention at Baltimore had the man- hood, when progressive Democracy’s fate was in the balance, when the “Joey Bagstocks,” those sly fellows, tripped gaily into the convention with a gold-plated combination to rob the progressive Democracy of its majority, to throw himself into the breach and thwart the conspiracy. “Hence these tears.” Who initiated the political treachery by which the tonvention at Baltimore was to be branded with the stamp of reaction? Let the ef- fervescing indignationists make a study of the first record made by the convention. If Mr, Clark

1.was a party to that act, he does not deserve the support of any progressive Democrat. If he was not a party to it, he should disown and discharge his agents, who were, ; The time when gham Democracy could succeed before the American people is long past. In what would. a nominee, named by the convention at Baltimore, by an alliance with Murphy, be more attractive to the masses of the Democracy than. Taft named at Chicago, with the brand of Barnes and Penrose upon him? Away with such indignation. Mr. Clark owes his defeat to the treachery of his leaders to the principles of Democracy. A. R. TAYLOR. A Matter For the Prosecuting Attorney. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. Some reader of the Post-Dispatch has inclosed the attached clipping to me, evidently thinking that you had given them the correct advice in re- lation to whose duty it is, under the law, to en- force the law to pay employes bi-monthly. This is to inform you that the Circuit Attorney has charge of all felony cases; the Prosecuting Attor- ney, Mr. Howard Sidener, has charge of the en- forcement of the law where misdemeanors are in- volved. The nonpayment of employes by corpo- rattons, as required by law, is a misdemeanor un- der the law, SEEBERT G. JONES, Circuit Attorney, The Mammoth Springs Tragedy. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch, I read Sunday, June 80, the account of the trouble in Mammoth Springs, Ark., in regard to the at- tempted raid on the Citizens’ Bank. I do not in- tend in any way to encourage bandits or reckless men; but could not this tragedy have been averted, and does it not appear that it should have been? It seems to me that if the Post-Dispatch has the right version of the affair that there could have been a@ more conservative way of conducting this case. Iam a native of Arkansas, I love the State; I love its people. But it seems that this was a deplorable happening. J. M. STEBLE, M. D. (It was a deplorable happening, but the pro- test lacks moral value for the reason that the. Sheriff gave the bandits an opportunity to sur- render, The tragedy was of their own making. — Editor Post-Dispatch.) Who Pays the Taxes? « To the Bditor of the Post-Dispatch, “Grade Abolisher’ having taken fssue with me on the rent and grade crossing proposition, and having misconstrued the drift of my letter, I shall endeavor to explain in plain ‘Tnited States.” In the first place, I did not seek to prove that the workingman would be the “goat.” Our rents are fixed according to money invested, taxes, tn- surance, water license, etc. I merely wished to show that the workingman is the bona fide tax payer instead of the landlord, as Mr. Reber would have us believe. Rents may have come Wown a bit since the Fair, but it’s a matter of fact that they are right now 10 to 20 per cent higher in St. Louis than fn any large city in the United States. That's why we gee so many “For Rent” signs in the better neighborhoods, How do you account for this, Mr. Abolisher? Perhaps you are a home guard and not familiar with conditions outside this city. Iam in favor of the abolition of all grade cross- ings, but I say again that the workingman must not, and cannot, be ignored in matters of public interest, . We need his assistance and co-opera- tion. HENRY MOHRMANN. | Judge Wurdeman’s Decision. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. As a friend of the labor clazs, I wish you would put thig in your paper, as a protest against the sen- tence of Willlam Schield, who was condemned to the penitentiary for 10 years for taking a purse from Miss Rose Stille, which he did to obtain the means to feed his starving wife and children. If a man loves his family he would take any chance to prevent them from starving if he could not get work to keep them. To see his loved ones suffer makes a good man desperate. Let Democrats and Depenpionse take the Socialist view of this and try to get a ennere: for this famfly-loving husband and

WILSON—THAT’S ALL!

———

A NEW BIRTH Of FREEDOM. From the New York World. The noy*‘nation of Woodrow Wilson for Presidént means a new Democracy. It means a new epoch in American self- government. The Democratic party at fast has broken its shackles. It has emanci- pated itself. It has rehabilitated itself in power and principle. It has turned its face to the rising sun, to re-estab- lish the faith of the American people in their own institutions, Woodrow Wilson will be the next Pres- ident of the United States. But he will be more than that. He will be the first President of the United States in a generation to go into office owing favors and under obligations to nothing except » the general welfare. No political boss brought about his | nomination. No political machine car- ries his candidacy to victory. No co terfte of Wall street financiers provided the money to finance his campaign. He has no debt to pay to corrupt politics or to corrupt business. He was nomi- nated by the irresistible force of public opinion, and by that alone. He stands before the country a free man. The American people have set out to regain possession of their Government, and Woodrow Wilson was nominated for President because he embodies that is- sue. The bosses and the plutocrats who tried to prevent his nomination were beaten by the power of the people, and power that nominated him is the power that will elect him. With Woodrow Wilson as the Demo- cratic candidate for President, it makes no difference what Mr. Roosevelt does. It makes no difference how many third parties he organizes. Progressive Demo- crats and progressive Republicans now have a candidate of their own. The contest between Mr. Roosevelt and Mr. Taft is now a contest for the control of the Republican organization and noth- ing more. The menace of a third term no longer hangs over the country. The menace of personal government no long- er threatens American institutions. The United States is not to be Mexicanized., It ia to be re-Americanized, It is because Gov. Wilson repre- sents this vital principlé that The World eo persistently urged his nom- ination. It is because Gov. Wilson represents this principle that the op- position within the party was forced to surrender, It is because Gov, Wil- son represents this principle that he will be triumphantly elected in No- vember. needed and the American people, true to their traditions in every crisis, have again found him. Gov. Wilson’s nomination means that the rule of the boss is over. It means that the partnership be- tween corrupt politics and corrupt business in national politics is forc- ibly dissolved, It means that the old regime of protection to privilege and plutocracy is on the scaffold. § It means that the old gods are dead. The United States is back to the benediction pronounced by Abraham Lincoln on the battlefield of Gettys- burg—‘That this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom, and that government of the people, by the people and for the people shall not perish from the earth.” ‘

Music’s Patron Saint. From the Washington Star, “Who is the patron: saint of music?’ inquired the student. “What kind of music?’ rejoined the professor. “If you allude to ragtime I ehould say St. Vitus."

5 ~S B. _ TuGY TO OUTDO FACH OTHER IN THE HUSBAND HUNT, WRITES ’ — EXPLAINING WwHY WOMEN, COVER DRESS by glare? He singes his wings and his pocketbook, and he has to keep right on singeing them long after the glare hag gone out. ‘rne masculine reader of the Post- Dispatch expresses this truth in one of its phases in the following letter: Dear Madame—Your articles and comments on the dress or undress of the popular city girl are interesting and timely. but suppose we lay sen- timent and emotion aside for a few moments and come down to facts. Here are a few of them: Fact No. 1. In the great major- ity of cases, young girls are not em- ployed at all for business women, but because they are attractive, and Mr. Grouch, who left Mrs. G. at home without saying good-by, likes to have a little sunshine about the office. No one who knows pretends that the average office girl knows anything about business, but let a pretty young brainless goose and a mature business woman of real knowledge both apply for a position. The broiler gets it every time—not for what she knows, but for what she doesn’t know and her smile. are directly responsible for this ‘‘Reign of Horror’’ in women *s appar- el. Men. most of them at least, want women with whom they appear to be fashionable. We know this from our brothers, who ask us why we Gon't wear our hair like Miss So-and-So or dress like Mies Thing-um-bob, and so on, chow- ing plainly that their masculine hearts vearn after Miss So-and-So’s false hair and Mise Thing-um-bob's indecently tight dress. Our brothers are all alike in this respect. They neither admire nor seek the society of a simple stay-at-home, old-fash- joned girl. A SIMPLE SCHOOL TEACHER. Now, of course, this letter is a rever- sal of the general masculine belief that it is the showy but shoddy males who is a successful heart-breaker. One needs}. only to change two words to read a familiar couplet as follows: “Ror men like moths are ever caught by glare, And fools rush in where seraphs might despair.”’

Wry eaies, Or © The Seven Ages of Woman T what age is &@ woman most lovable? My dear Lady, at ALL of them! Somebody has said that the seven ages of man, ‘after all, are the toad age, the puppy age, the gawky ago, the golden age, marri-age, the iron age—and e cribbage. Then, of course, the seven ages of woman must be the doll age. e school age, the dancing age, the flirting age, the love age, marri-age— nd the dangerous age. » Verily, there is no age at which a woman cannot be both adorable and ored, if only she is willing to be adored—according to her age. But, las! A woman never can forget her yesterdays. It is SO hard for her to y “Goodby !"—Goodby to a friend, goodby to love, goodby to youth, goodby o her dolls and her dreams! In short, a woman never knows WHEN to TOP! That is the secret of contentment in this life—knowing when to STOP! en to stop eating, when to stop working, when to stop talking, when to *stop playing, when to stop joking and when to stop flirting. No use beginning, if you don’t know when to stop. All the seven ages of woman are full of beauty and delight, while they | inutmeg graters’’— last; but they can’t be expected to last forever, any more than June roses, or May files, or mosquitoes. And the secret of happiness in this consists in taking things as they come, and then letting. them go; in short, in kffowing you've got ENOUGH, whether of dinner, or love, or a flirtation, or even a friendship Woe to the girl who insists on stringing out her dancing days, or lengthening her flirting days; and woe to the man who insists on “keeping up the pace,” after the fire of youth is dead. It is eating the core of the apple, my dears, draining the dregs of the glass. Why drink dregs—when you might be filling another glass? Why pick up the crumbs Of yesterday’s | feast, when you might be sitting at today's? A different menu perhaps, but just as tempting and satisfying, if you but change your viewpoint—and your er. Perhaps the most tragic figure in this tragic old world is the woman who has passed her youth, but cannot forget that she was once a beauty a a belle—who still tries to hold her little court and wield her little pptre; who thirsts for admiration, devotion and homage; who cannot give up her flirting days! How silly she appears! Yet, there is no one on earth more attractive than the woman of thirty-five who IS thirty-five and knows it! What a divine wife, what an inspiration, what a eriend she can be! It is the age when a woman knows HOW TO LOVE! When her char- acter should Se at its most beautiful stage of develapment; when her soul low foolish she is to want to go on playing—when she might be LIVING. How foolish to go on trying to turn men’s heads, when she might be molding their hearts and minds. How foolish to care about men, anyway, when she should be concentrating on THE man. And ther there is the kittenish grandmamma! THERE is a comic post care for you! Where are the sweet, old grandmammas we used to knowi WEY Gid not squeeze their poor old feet into French- heeled shoes, and go Pt tting about in stays and hobbies. How contented, how adorable, they we bre! They seemed fillea with a peace ang clothed in a radfance that was most ‘divine. Ah, yes, there ts no age at which a woman cannot be loved and lovable! @, love, love! It goes all the way up and down through a woman's life— and through a man’s, too, for that mat- (cis natal : But the loves of 16 are not the loves of 30 and the loves of 30 are not . loves of 60. Love, itself, love and youth, r come back.” Clinging to them, ing over them, shaking them, sling on them, will not revive them. ‘the pretenses in the world will not fake them seem real. It is tragic 405, to go on weeping demanding, ; and for @ man to go on: pre- g. lying, deceiving, “like a gen- n,” after love is dead.

oe een me eee ee A me ee WHEN A JAPANESE GIRL MARRIES Written for the Post-Dispatch By MOCK JOYA. HERE is en old saving in Japan which expiains the position and duty of Japanese wives rather sarcastically but truly. “A wife is a cook without pay.” Be she the wife of a nobleman or the wife of a laborer, a Japanese woman cannot be a good wife uniess she is a g00d cook, or at least a good super- visor of the kitchen. Probably there is no woman in the world who uses her ability to cook to better advantage than a Japanese wife, who manages to keep her control over the family merely by her art of cooking. The husband being the absolute head of a family and as the customs of many centuries have taught the people that wives should obey their husbands, it is the first duty of the Japanese wife to obey her husband. The only. place where she has an absolute power is in the kitchen. Qutside of it the word of her husband always is law. But in Japan the trouble of eating uneatable food prepared by“young brides is unknown and there is no complaint about the dishes not being like those mother used to cook. The enrly training of sirla in cooking enables them toa cook zood and wholesome focd. Through the stomach of her husband, a Japanese wife obtains a power over him. And cutside of this means there is no way cof controlling her husband. When a Japanese woman marries she throws away the customs and pecullari- ties of her parents’ home and conforms herself to those of her husband and his family. And even in the matiter of religion, very often she has to abandon her own and take up that of her hus- band. In the old days it was absolutely a r.ecessary. for wives to follow thé! par- ticular religions of their husbands, but lately the matter is not so strict as used tc be. Even at present, however, it is rather difficult for a Christian woman to marry a Buddhist husband, because both families would object to such a ujnon, not on account of the mere difference of religion, but because of the experience that taught people that the union of two different religions was very often not successful. When a Japanese girl marries she makes a vow to obey her husband and no excuse whatever is listened to for any disobedience on the part of a wife to her husband's wishes or commands. According to the Japanese idea, wives should be, first of all, kind, tender, lov- ing, obedient, faithful; and should per- form the household duties. And when- ever a wife tries to overrule her hus- band or to run the house according to her own idea and against that of her husband, it is very likely that she will be divorced. If a woman does not desire to have children she is considered as unfit to be a companion to any man. Lack of children is regarded mote as crime than anything else becau. family pride and hereditary custome -re so strong in ps ce — ee

By Leased Wire From the New York Bureau of the Post-Dispatch, NEW YORK, July 3. The Evening Post, in its copyrighted financia! review today. says: “It would be difficult to advance any specific theory for the break in stock market prices today. The selling was probably due to a variety of causes, one of which might have been the develop- ment of the wholly unexpected Treas- ury dispute, with the publication of the somewhat extraordinary letter from Mr. Andrew, the retiring Assistant Secre- tary. “Just at the moment when political excitement has been at fever heat, such an episode comes as something of a shock, ‘There may be little reason for un- eariness #n this instance, however, since awkward complications are not likely to follow. The decline in prices was probd- ably dve as much as anything else to the failure of the market here to follow the early rise jin our stocks at London. “Before the New York opening, Amer- ican stocks on the other side were quoted at % to 1 point above parity with vesterday’s Wall street closing. In the first few minutes of trading here there “Were advances of nearly a point in some . of the active stocks, but this movement was short lived. “Before the end of the first hour there was genera! pressure to sell, and the consequence was quick declines of from 1 to 3 points from the high level! of the early advance, This movement Cepressed the whole Ist, which showed little rallvine power, “The market hecame active on the Cecline, and the support which was forthcoming on &o many occasions Jast week war entirely absent teday.

The market acted as if bordering on a severe break, and selling was he]d in check only by manipulative support from the bull interests in Chi- cago. Expert B. W, pe if re on win- ter wheat on July 1 put the condition at 75.2; spring wheat, 91.4. The figures indicate a crop, new basis of figuring, of 365, 000,000 Bie vr and 276,000,000 spring.

The wheat figures indicate 641, 000,000 bu, against 621,000,000 bu last year. The wheat market opened with some pressure on July, which was 4d lower on the liberal arrivals during past two days, while th 3 distant months were well supported and 44 higher. There was a better detnand for Plate cargoes ar- riving and a report received stated that the rain in Canada was only partial. Later there was some realizing on the weak opening in Paris and the pres- sure of corn, but later the market ain steadied, with firmer Canadian fers and an improved millers’ demand here, with weather in both the United King- dom and Russia unfavorable. Liverpool corn opened %d higher, and further gained %d to %d, with the un- dertone steady. Expectations are for liberal. Argent ne shipments this wee with the weather there fine, and Plat shippers offering freely, but these were offset by speculative support on the de- cline. Buenos Ayres wheat closed steady and nominally unchanged, with holders gen- erally firm. The foreign demand con- tinues, but the weather and crop -out- look is very favorable, and a large acreage is being planted. Liv 1 Wheat cables closed “a lower to %d up, corn %d to 4d wu wheat %c to lc lower, flour 1 Antwerp. lower; Berlin ce. Local wheat receipts today were 7200 bu, or 5 cars local, 1 through.

C. Petri. said: ‘With rains this week in the Northwest. weather conditions are all that can be desired for all @rowing crops: Warm weather in the Northwest, followed by rain, pushed wheat rapidly forward, and present prospect is entirely good. In the winter wheat belt weather con- ditions duting June were ideal for fil. ing, and some extraordinary vields are being reported. The ¢rop will slightly exceed the earlier estimates, despite the acreage losses in the soft wheat states. Conditions for oats have been absolutely perfect for the past % davs in the big onts states, and a cron above all rec. ords ts practically made. Corn Is late, but the nast 10 dayg haa brought the moderately warm weather that was needed, and the crop is now renidiv re. covering the lost grownd.
