NO FEAR OVER’ BRYAN Executive at Present Is Not Planning to Make Any Campaign Trips. WASHINGTON, June 12.—Pre::-nt Wilson yesterday put his final approval on plans for the Democratic National Convention at St. Louis. ing church with Mrs. Wilson in the morning, he spent the afternoon and evening conferring with Democratic leaders. Secretary Baker, who will be a dele- gate to the convention, saw the Presi- dent twice, and Dudley Field Malone, Collector of Customs at New York, also conferred with him. Secretary Baker will depart for St. Louis tonight an3 will be one of the President’s personal represéntatives at thé convention. The Mexican plank in the Democratic platform is giving administration offi- clals some concern because of the con- tinued uncertainty of the situation. It was understood that the plank will em- phasgize the President’s policy of inter- fering as little as possible in the inter- nal affairs of Mexico. , Will Select Chairman. Although the President plans to se- lect a chairman of the Democratic Na- tional Committee before the convention, he had not announced his selection. Ho- mer Cummings, National Committee- man from Connecticut, and vice chair- man of the committee, appeared to be the most likely choice. Administration officials expressed confidence that William Jennings Bryan would do nothing at the convention cal- culated to interfere with party har- mony. Every effort will be made to satisfy all elements of the party at St. Louis in order to present a united front. The present intention of the President is not to make any campaign trips, al- though he undoubtedly will make a number of speeches during the summer and autumn. In addition to the addresses he will deliver Tuesday at West Point and here Wednesday, he has accepted invitations to speak at New York June 30 and here July 4 at the dedication of the new headquarters of the American: Federa-« tion of Labor. .He probably will also go to Detroit early in July and to Phil- adelphia June 29, for greetings of adver- tising men. His Official Notification. President Wilson probably will receive official notification of his renomination at Shadow Lawn, the estate he has tak- en for the summér in New Jersey. Al- though he plans to remain in Washing- ton until Congress adjourns, he probably will make a brief visit to Shadow Lawn for the occasion. The President will depart for West Point this afternoon. He will go as far as Jersey City by train and then board the naval yacht Mayflower, which will take him up the Hudson. He will speak at Weet' Point Tuesday morning and then return directly to "Washington. Wednesday morning he will march with a preparedness parade here, and later review it and deliver an address.

Currency amounting to $430,000 was de- stroyed at the United States Subtreas- ury today by inspéctors under the direc- tion of John Moon, Chief Inspector of the Treasury Department at Washing- ton, because the bills were tattered and torn. *% The bills destroyed were greater in number than have ever been destroyed at one time at the St. Louis office. They ranged from $1 to $10. They were boynd in packages of 100 and put through a machine which first punched them full of holes and then halved them length- wise. The halves were then placed in separate bags and will be shipped by separate trains to the Treasury at Wash- ington. Inspectors under the direction of Moon have just finished counting $48,822,188.56 at the St. Louis Subtreasury. Of this, $40,115,143.44 is gold and $4,500,000 is in bills. Treasurer Vandiver’s accounts were found correct. SUFFRAGE SPEECHES FROM AUTO Two Members of Woman’s Party Make Addreses in Front of Hotel. Miss Mabél Vernon of Nevada, -secre- tary of the Woman’s party, and Mrs. Rheta Child Dorr of New York, made suffrage speeches from an automobile in front of the Hotel Jefferson this afternoon. They attracted the attention of many Democratic delegates and were listened to with close attention. Both urged the platform adoption of a national suf- frage plank. T, N.

The Roger Sullivan-for-Vice President boom received much new life today, according ‘to the steering ‘Cconmmittee which has charge of the Illinoisan Meter- ests. The Illinois “boss” feels confident of getting the 9 votes which Boss Charlies F. Murphy of Tammany con- trols, these boostérs say. Few of the Democratic leaders here accept the Sullivan boom seriously, but it is adding a needed color to the rather — drab tone of the preliminaries. The re- nomination of Vice President Marshall being assured, it is generally believed — that the point to be gained is rather to make sure the supremacy of Roger Sul. livan over Gov. Dunne and Senator’ J. Hamilton Lewis in Illinois politics, rath. er than to wish an unwanted job the adroit Chicago politician. ; To further the vice presidentiat boom and to give it greater semb of ife, 1000 uniformed marching m are to arrive tomorrow night to ‘things up for Sullivan.

OUT OF POLITICS” ee eminem Tells Newspaper Men Over Tele- phone That He Will Answer ‘ No ° RECEIVES 700 TELEGRAMS Goes to Church at Oyster Bay, but There Is No Demon- stration. ‘Special a. the Post-Dispatch. OYSTER BAY, N. Y., June 12.~—Col. Roosevelt, disappointed and incommuni- cative, closed the gates of Sagamore Hill yesterday and refused to see news- paper men When called by telephone from the Oyster Bay Inn, the Colonel said: “I will make no statement. I will an- Swer no questions. I am out of politics.” And he hung up the receiver. The only callers were a few neighbors, who paid their customary Sunday morn- ing respects. The Colonel and Mrs, Roosevelt arose early and went to church. There was no demonstration when he stepped from his automobile. He bowed to a few acquaintances. After the service, when he started back for ‘Bagamore Hill, a man on the walk yelled out a parting ‘Hello, Colonel,” but he simply raised his hat. Fully 700 telegrams were received by him during the day. Some were from Progressives, urging him to make his race; many from Hughes men, requesting his support. Some protested against his failure to ac- cept ,the nomination of his party and others were from old friends. Intimates of the Colonel consider it altogether unlikely that he will recon- sider his conditional refusal to head a third ticket. They firmly believe him when he says: “T am out of politics.” Movement Started to Boom Roose- welt for Secretary of State. NEW YORK, ‘June _ 12.—Theodore Roosevelt’s desire to be done with poll- tics will not avail if a movement be- ‘gun yesterday by Copeland Townsend, owner of the Hotel Majestic, is success- ful. Townsend has organized the “Roosevelt for Secretary of State League’ and, with headquarters at the Hotel Majestic, will seek to crystalize the sentiment for Roosevelt in that of- fice. On hearing the news of Hughes’ nom- ination Townsend sent a telegram#¢ to Secretary McGrath, in which he de- elared that Col. Roosevelt would bé the ideal man for Secretary of State. He arranged yesterday to appoint a committee to make the movement na- tional and during this week a delega- tion will see Col. in reference to the work.

Straus, Gifford Pinchot, Bainbridge Colby and other Progressive leaders remained over in Chicago yester- ences among them. . ' Perkins has let his friends know that, while he deeply regrets the refusal of the Republicans to nominate Roosevelt, he feels well satisfied with the Repub- lican platform and looks on Hughes as perhaps “‘the next best” to the Colonel as presidential candidate. This also is ‘the view of Nathan Straus, William H. Childs and other Progressive leaders. Hitchcock issued this statement last night: “I am not a candidate for the chair- manship of the Republican National Committee or for public office of any kind. My activities before and in the convention were prompted solely by the desire to aasist in rendering what I con- ceive to be an imperative service. Al- though fully aware that J ustice. Hughes was not a presidential candidate: and preferred to remain onthe bench, I could not believe that he would refuse to re- spond to the call of his party at this critical time. In co-operating with oth- ers for the accomplishment of his nomi- nation I acted entirély upon my own re- | sponsibility and without the slightest in- timation of his approval or.acquiescence. “His nomination was the result of an insistent popular demand that finally gained expressions in the unamimous Call | of the convéntion.

This is considered almost imperative in view — of the fact that Justice McReynolds is barred from participating in the con-~ sideration of several of the most import- ant cases because he took part in pre senting them to the court as Attorney- ~ General.

Mrs. Catt Confident, Mrs. Catt expressed confidence that the Democrats would put a suffrage plank in their platform. She regards the declaration of'the Republican platform as a distinct advance even though it was not a declaration for a constitution- al nrendment. ' The ambiguity of the suffrage declara- tion in the Republican platform may be straightened out in a few days by a statement from.Charles D. Hilles, Sen- ator Borah or some other Republican leader, suffrage leaders of all organi- gations héard here today. Hilles insists, Miss Alice Paul of the Congressional Union said, that the plank puts the party on record for suffrage, and does not intend to say that the states should deal with the question separately, but merely recognizes that. they have this right. Only a few of the suffragists in- terpret the declaration in that way, however, and they are demanding a formal statement of the Republican at- titude. « An effort also will be made to have Justice Hughes declare unequivocally for suffrage in his speech of acceptance. A declaration for woman suffrage in the Democratic platform, suffrage lead- ers insist, will mean added thousands of votes for President Wilson afid the rest of the ticket this fall. Many political observers predict that & inasmuch as the nominations virtually are conceded in this convention, the » ~ most interesting fight will center on the 6 Peace and prohibition, | suffrage issue. of course, will attract much attention. but if the picturesque appeals to the delegates planned for the week have any of the effect the leaders expect the two former issues soon will be over-' shadowed by the quéstion of equal rights. \ Twenty-Two Women.

There are the various national, state and local committees who will appear before the Democratic committees and those who have charge of the “Golden Lane’ dem- onstration, set for Wednesday, the open- ing day of the convention, which is ex- pected to be as colorful a display as ever has been made in this country in behalf of the cause. Epitomized, it will be two lines composed of thousands of women ranged along 12 city blocks through which Democratic delegatas pass from their. headquarters +o the convention hall. The title, “Golden Lane,” comes from the fact that they will wear suffrage colors, yellow sashes and carry yellow. parasols. And during two hours every woman on thé lane will be forbidden to utter a single .word. ‘“Gen.’’ Florence Upde- graff, who has charge of the “battle plans,”’ so willed today. She thinks her orders will be carried out and the dem- onstration will. be mute save for one exception. “Suffrage Plank,’’ the mas- cot of the St. Louis .suffragists, it is feared, may not be able to restrain hia emotions.

Brusiloff and Gen. von Linsingen is yet to come. How Offensive Began. Scenes of excitement in the trenches and villages where the reserves were stationed when the word of the proposed advance came on Saturday, June 3, are told by a Captain of a Siberian reg- iment. Where possible, religious serv- ices were held. ‘‘Next day,’ he continued, ‘‘after a tremendous bombardment, the first, sec- ond and even the third lines of Austrian trenches were easily taken. Our losses were light. But in the strongest posi- tions in the rear, the enemy made a-des- perate stand with machine guns, bombs and prepared mines. Here we suffered more heavily. It was necessary to storm the positions. This our men did with splendid courage and determination. *“As soon as we came within reach with the bayonet the Austrians gave up, whole companies throwing down their arms. They appeared to have no heart for bayonet work. “On we went, leaving heaps of dead behind. Sometimes we had to take de- fensive positions against counter at- tacks. My corps withstood eight in succession, repulsing them and then charging again. Through the breeches in their'front our cavalry poured in, some instances riding into the demor- alized rear, slashing, spearing and yell- ing like demons as they rode. “Entire regiments of Austrians were cut off and surrendered. There was a continuous stream of prisoners to the Russian rear. Among the prisoners were many German-speaking officers report of today says. The Germans continued their heavy bombardment in the region north. of Souville and Tavannes forts. West of the Meuse there was a heavy artillery action in the vicinity. of Chattancourt. Two Swedish and a Norwegian Ship Are Sunk. LONDON, June 12.—A Reuter dispatch from Malmo, Sweden, says that the Swedish steamer Emmy, 496 tons, has been destroyed by a mine off Falsterbo. The dispatch says that one of the crew was killed by the explosion and four others drowned. The Norwegian steam- er Prosper III, 4297 tons, has struek a mine and sunk. The first officer of the vessel is believed to be the only sur- vivor. She sailed from Newport News, May 2%, for La Pallice, France. ‘Striking a mine off Sandhanan Island of the archipelago at the entrance to Stockholm, the Swedish steamship Para, 1896 tons, sank at 5 o'clock Saturday afternoon... The crew .was.saved. In shipping .circles here it is believed the vessel ran into a field of anchored Ger- man mines. Fifteen members of the crew of the Norwegian steamer Bur, 1942 tons, have been landed at Ymuiden, Holland. They report that their ship was sunk by either a mine or a torpedo. Passengers and Crew of Sunken Nor- wegian Ship Reach Marseilles, MARSEILLES, June 12.—The passen- gers and crew of the Norwegian steam- er Rauma, which was sunk by a sub- marine in the Mediterranean, May _ 30, have arrived here. A dispatch from London, June 2, re- ported that the Rauma of Bergen had been sunk in the Mediterranean, but did not specify the agent of her destruction. The Rauma was a vessel of 3048 tons.

Generally speaking, the platform will meet every issue raised against the Democratic party by the Republicans at Chicago last week: will assert that President Wiison, while achieving a decisive victory for human- ity in prevailing upon Germary to cease her submarine warfare, in viola- tion of international law, has main- tained a netitrality, strict and honest; will review the administration's course toward Mexico as humane and calctlat- ed to ald a distracted and distresse4 people, and will show that the Wilson administration has accomplished more in actual preparedness of the country than many previous Republican admin- istrations. The Graft of the »2latform, many planks of which were written by Pres- ident Wilspn himself, was brought to Bt. Louls last night by United States Senator William J. Stone of Missour', who wil be chairman of the Resolu- tions Committee. The tentative draft will be submitted to the Resolutions Committee; which will be appointed at the firet session Wednesday, and which probably will report.to the convention Thursday, and certainly not’ later than Friday. The planks which express the viewa of President Wileon on the im- portant issues of the day probably will be adopted by the Resolutions Commit- tee without change. Many other pro- posed planks have been drafted oy Demveratic leaders, and they will be submitted to the committee. May Criticise Hughes’ Course. Tt is moat likely that a special plank will be prepared condemning the Re- publicans for drafting a presidential candidate from the Supreme Court of the United States. This plank will ar- raign the Republicans for dragging the Supreme Court into politics, and point to the nomination of Justice Hughes as @& dangerous precedent, which will make it possible for other Judges on the bench to become presidential as- pirants, to the impairment of the use- fulness and impartiality of the highest tribunal of the land. There will also be a plank on woman suffrage, declaring in favor of the en- franchisement of women, but probably aleo stating that this question should be left to the individual atates for de- Cision, The principal planke of the platform, as they were submitted by Senator Stones to other influential Democrats, were: FOREIGN RELATIONS={Pointing out the unprecedented world conditions brought about by the war, it will be contended that President Wilson, while keeping the United States at peace, has maintained a neutrality both ‘‘strict and honest.’ The diplomatic achieve- ments of the President in prevailing upon Germany to pledge herself to cease submarine Warfare methods in violation of International law will be pointed out as one of the potent rea- eons why the Democratic administra- tion should be continued in power. MEXICAN=The Mextean situation. presented frankly and fully from the viewpoint of the administration, will be recited aa claims of justification for the administration's course as best shaped to conserve peace With the neighboring republic. The course of the adminis- tration will be held to be one in aid of by internal strife in the progress of their own destiny. The United States as the next friend of Mexico, it will be contended, has been acting entirely dis- interested in Mexico’s aid and with full respect and consideration for her sov- erelgnty. Views on Preparedness, PREPAREDNESS: This wil! be treat- ed under two separate heads, one deal- ing with what already has been ac- eomplished and the other with that which fis in the making. It will be pointed owt that the party has met new world conditions demanding prepared- ness for national defense by pointing to the advanced stage of preparedness of the havy, both in speech and mé¢n; lex- isiation already enacted for the en- lar@ement of the naval academy and administration plans for rapid and bal- anced enlargement of the nation’s forces for defense at sea. It will be con- tended that more has been done durins three years of Democratic administra- tion than had been accomplished for many preceding years under Republican rule. The enlargement of the regular army ahd the redrganization of the gen- eral guard with provisions bringing it more thoroughly under Federal contro! will be cited among the measures of achievement for national defense al- ready accomplished, FINANCIAL: The Federal reserve act reorganizing the currency evatem of the country to a basis calculated to pro- vide for the expansion and contraction of currency to meet the fluctuating courses of trade and to dulwark the financial structure of the nation againet. times of panic will be pointed out as one of the foremost achievements of TARIFF —The re@uction of tariff du. thee On a soale whith the Democratic a distracted and distressed people torn can industry against the flood 6f Euro- pean products after the fighting mil- lions turn to the pursuits of peace; the shipping bill now pending, to create an American merchant marine to relieve the commerce of the country from the lack of ocean transportation and still making provision to withdraw Govern- ment operation from competition with private capital when the latter is ready to undertake the enterprise, also will he presented as reasons for sec the party In power. Foreign Trade Enhanced. The platform will conterd that legisla- tion at home and diplomatic dealings abroad have lent a strong stimulus to American foreign trade und that as a result industrial prosperity has great- ly been enhanced and foreign trade ea- tabiished on a firmer basis than eve: befere. The platform will charge that the Re- ‘publican platform is little more thmn an attack tipon Democratic achieve- ments offering no constructive policy to take the place of the measures as- sailed, For that reason it will appeal for popular support for the Democratiu administration. Senator Stone, because of his posi- tion as chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, is generally ac- cepted as speaking with the authority of the President on those phases of the flatform, It was declared today that no com- plete platform draft had been made. Be- sides the planks framed by President administration leaders in Congress and others throughout the country iInterest- ed in the success of the party. may be added as the result of the de- liberations of the Resolutions Commit- tee or the convention, but substantial- ly the main features of the platform are practically certain to be as out- lined in the foregoing.

The workers have asked for an eight- hour day, time and half for overtime and the continuation of the existing rules calling for double compensation for different classes of services during the same working day. The conference adjourned until later in the day, when the railroads will make reply to what is considered the ultimatum of the men, declining to con- sider the rallroads’ proposition. The railroads’ answer to the men’s demand was a tentative offer of com- promise, granting the eight-hour day and overtime, providing the double com- pensation rule should be wiped out. In other words, the railroads maintain that if the men desire a _ shortened work day they must put in the full time in whatever e¢lass of service they are assigned. Under existing rules, an engineer on a 100-mile run—usually a day's work—is granted overtime if with- in his working day he performs an- other class of service. A. B. Garretson, president of the Or- der of Railroad Conductors, voiced the sentiments of the men when he said ‘to the railroad managers: “Our proposition is not modifiable—it is elther it or nothing. Our chief de- mand is the eight-hour day. The over- time is simply a penalty to enforce it. Our answer is that if the ‘yard stick’ is your united offer there is no reason for continuation of this conference.”’ Elisha Lee, chairman of the man- agers, declared he could not agree with the brotherhood. The overtime, he sald, instead of enforcing the eight-hour day, would act as an incentive to the men to lengthen their day's work. He de- clared the attitude of the men made it impossible to proceed and he ordered an adjournment until the afternoon, when he would announce, he _ said, whether the railroads would continue with the conference.

Baker was today appointed administrator pendente lite of the es- tate of Mrs. Theresa L. Bernero, who died in 1912, leaving a will in which she bequeathed most of her $1,000,000 es- tate to her sister and the children of the latter. Suit was filed shortly after her death by Louis Bernero, son of an adopted son of Mrs. Bernero, to break the will. Application was made shortly after the will was filed for the appointment of an administrator pendente lite, but no ap- pointment was~ made, because the right of the boy to maintain the action was challenged by the defense. The Su- preme Court has now decided that the boy has a right to maintain the action. In the will the only bequest to the boy was $10,000 for his education. He is claiming the entire estate. The de- fense is that the adoption of his father by Mrs. Bernero and her husband did not confer the rights of a grandson on this plaintiff. to give a bond of $200,000, CROWS FOUND TO BE GOOD FOR FOOD AND OLD ONES YIELD FAT German Doctor Suggests Their Uttl- ization to Government as Result of Field Experiences. FRANKFORT, Germany, June. 12.— From experiences in the field of Rus- sia, Dr. Adolf Schnee is convinced, and has suggested to the German Govern- ment, that young crows are a tasty and valuable source of food, and that the old tough birds that follow the armies by the tens of thousands are a plentiful source of fat that can be used in mak- ing soap, if not in preparing food for human beings. Under the skin of each bird he has found there are layers of fat of a par- ticularly desirable character. In addition, the organs of the birds are surrounded by fat which differs merely in color and smell from the fat of other animals that is regularly used. From 100 full- grown crows there can be obtained, he says, fat which yields some’ seven to eight kilograms (14 to 16 pounds) of lard. Even the meat of the old crows: is edible, says Dr. Schnee, if it is put through a pickling process of some four to six weeks with onions, and then served with a kind of cabbage. In taste it is similar to pickled wild boar. 20 MEN DESTROY DAM OF OKLAHOMA CITY WATER WORKS Town Threatened With Shortage of Water—Farmers Whose Land Was in Danger of Inundation Accused. OKLAHOMA CITY, Ok., June 12.— Oklahoma City today faced two grave dangers to its water supply as a result of the destruction of its waterworks dam across the North Canadian River last night by 20 men, believed to have been farmers, whose land contiguous to the river was threatened with inunda- tion. Should the waters recede before re- pairs can be made a water shortage is believed certain. The other danger is that the river may form a new channel. Guards who had been placed at the dam in anticipation of an effort to cut it, were powerless to prevent the work of the men, who escaped before assist- ance could arrive from the city. POLICEMEN SAY REAL BEER WAS SERVED AND NOT NEAR BEER Defendant Declares That What He Sold Was a Nonintoxicating Beverage. The question of how near is near-beer to real beer will be answered when the police submit the case of Harry Fisher, 3528 Natural Bridge avenue, to the Pros- ecuting Attorney. Two probationary patrolmen say that ‘when they called for real beer in Fish- er’s cafe yesterday they were served with real beer. Fisher says it was near- ” ‘| beer. A marked dollar bill and a sample of the bevereage the policemen drank are held as evidence. The drinks were served in bottles bearing the label of a non- alcoholic beer, but the patrolmen insist that regardless of the container what they drank smelled like, tasted like and was real beer.

SALT LAKE CITY, Utah, June 12.— Preparedness for a larger participation in world commerce and the State and Federal legislation necessary to launch. and develop new policies and new metn- ods are to constitute the general sub- ject to be considered by the Governors’ ‘conference which is to open its’ ninth annual session here Tuesday, June 27.

Governors of most of the 48 states are expected to be present. “Many of the Governors are very much awake to the necessity for the states and the Federal Government giv: ing legislative aid to the work of pre- paring for the keener c@mpetition ahd less wasteful business methods which are to play an important part in world commerce immediately following the close of the great war,” said Secretary Riley. “The Governors have been watching the rapid but nevertheless effective and probably permanent changes that havyu taken place in European business meth. ods. They are convinced that America must meet these changes by looking 4 well to some of the fundamental prin. ciples underlying the business method, of the country, and they feel that in many instances the first aid must come from the state governments.” SOCIETY Iss ELIZABETH POWELL, VI daughter of Mrs. Annette I.

OPEN LETTER TO THE DELEGATES OF THE NATIONAL, STATE AND CITY POLITICAL CONVENTIONS AND THEIR CANDIDATES America realizes the fact that nations, like individuals, do not always show a proper sense of responsi- bility, and is now, engaged in putting through a large constructive program of Military Preparedness. We regret to have to admit that civilization has made so little progress, but believe in looking facts squarely in the face. Realizing, therefore, that adequate military preparedness is absolutely necessary, we cheerfully subscribe to it. Military Preparedness alone creates militarism and a desire for conquest, and we are against this spirit in any shape, form or manner. | : Social Preparedness alone may ¢reate a Brotherhood of Man, which unfortunately is not always re- spected by a stronger power, which quickly takes advantage of the lack of military preparedness to crush that Brotherhood of Man. : | _. Social Preparedness, which includes adequate Military Preparedness, paves the way for an almost ideal Brotherhood of Man, wherein no citizen desires conquest or offense, but is ready to use the military weapons ‘for purposes of defense. Such a combination is sufficient to withstand attacks from even stronger forces. Just &s a parent brings out the love anid respect of a child by the care it bestows on it, so does a Govern- ment develop a true feeling of patriotism and reverence for its flag by looking after the welfare of its people. “Were half the power that fills the world with terror, _ Were half the wealth, bestowed on camps and courts, Given to redeem the human mind from error, There were no need of arsenals or forts.” ‘We ought to realize that nearly all of our social ills are due to the lack of proper Social] Preparedness, and that we cannot remedy them until we have taken steps to lessen the strife between capital and labor. The best way to better the conditions of the masses is not by trying to teach or uplift the needy and ignorant, but by creating an environment that will make it possible for them to uplift themselves. To do this we must And simultaneously there shall be established in each State a similar department, and in each Munici- pality a similar department, and the State and City departments shall co-operate in conjunction with the Na- tional department and assume all the work that is now being performed by charity societies, whether pri- vate or public and these departments shall receive appropriations so that they can immediately relieve the needy, provide work for all the unemployed and take care of all the diseased. We ask this not only as a mat- ter of right for the diseased and needy, but as a matter of selfish protection to ourselves. By providing the unemployed army with work it will’ automatically enable the rest of the employed army to receive higher compensations, Labor is always hampered and does not get as big a return as it should on acéount of the unemployed army. Undoubtedly the first thought that occurs to cne is whether there will be sufficient funds to meet such large expenditures for both Military and Social Preparedness. The same line of reasoning took place in some of the European countries now engaged in the war. They did not think they had the means to spend a few hundred million dollars to stop the sufferings of the needy and wipe out the slums, but now as much as twenty millions dollars a day is spent by some powers for the protection of their citizens, even though it results in the creation of widows and orphans. This country, if it should have to go to war to defend itself, will likewise raise five, ten or thirty million dollars a day so as to protect all its citizens. That money will be forthcoming quickly, because the mind will be incited by fear. Why not spend money for the good of all in time of peace, which in itself might give the Secretary of War-less to do and result in less expenditure later on? JUST TAXATION. We suggest the appointment of a Commission so that some form of 4 graduated income tax, both for corporations and individuals, be adopted which will make it impossible for a man to be graded in private life as wealthy and derive the advantages that come with it, yet be known in the Tax Payer’s office as a pauper. The same Commission should also adopt some form of limitation as to the amount of money one should be allowed to accumulate, and also see to it that after providing fomthe comfort of one’s family the greater “if Twelve Men Arrested Are Released |M. eradicate the root of the evil—poverty. p es at Once on Bonds. : \ & the twenty-fifth time in as many weeks the police last night raided the . : POVE RTY.

CONFERENCE RESUMED : Probable Effect of Granting Men’s Demands. NEW YORK, June 12.—Representa- ives of the chief railroads of the Jnited States and of the unions of allroad employes resumed heir conferences over questions of Wages and hours of work after an G@journment last Thursday. The de- ay was due to a demand by the rail- roat officials for a few days to pre- are answers to questions submit- s to State today by ethe labor leaders concerning he effect of proposals made by the | The employes, through the offi- yer of their unions, have explained he effect of their demands and have neisted they have the right to a sim- las explanation from ‘railroad offi- “h “te ak ¥ ie 5 sates fs met at y serv ite ‘ ‘means your eyes, whether brown or blue ™ is for glasses‘to make ~ them strong and true wis for headaches SIGHT nds for sight and TT ti , = “sa i th LLL, ‘1. 66499 ne 1 | — s : Aa 2 sf -§ St. Louis, Tuesday Evening, 8:15 O’Clock, at the obtain employment, are forced to apply to either public or private charity societies. These societies are spending hundreds and hundreds of millions of dollars yearly in trying to care for the homeless, the needy, the diseased, etc., involving legitimate running expenses of over 75 per cent. Ths expenses are high owing to duplication of work carried on along sectarian lines. , | GOVERNMENT'S DUTY TO ITS CITIZENS” We maintain that a Government owes every citizen an opportunity to perform decent work and receive decent compensation, and that the citizen should not be dependent upon the philanthropic humor of cap- italists, self-appointed dispensers of kindness, who give the victims only a small percentage of that which they should have received as their right in the first place. , The -Government should look after all the needy, put the unemployed army to work, care for the diseased. In that event there will be no other channels for a person to obtain relief, so the necessity for in- vestigation will be automatically done away with, and since everyone will receive work when willing, we + Shall easily ascertain the underserving, lazy army, who are the real criminals. They will either have to starve or work, since there will be no bread lines or charity societies to encourage their pauperism. Laws should be passed so as to compel them to work for the benefit of their families and the State, if need be under lock and key, and at the same time a proper sense of responsibility can be developed in them. By spending a much smaller sum of money for the cure of poverty than is being spent now in dealing with the evils resulting from it we will not only do that which a civilized country should, but will eventually effect a great saving; for the prisons then will have very few inmates, the saloons few frequenters and disease will be greatly lessened. Our slogan, therefore is: One dollar for Social Preparedness for every dollar for Military Prepared- ness, and we respectfully ask that. the following planks be inserted in all the platforms. NEW CABINET PORTFOLIO The creation of an extra Cabinet Portfolio, that of the Secretary of Welfare, who will quickly. become known as the:Secretary of Peace, this Secretary to have an Advisory Board of about twenty men and women—for we believe that democracy should have equal suffrage (by a national amendment)—really and sincerely interested in bettering conditions of hu- manity, and to be of the following caliber: Jane Addams, Dr. Felix Adler, Howard Bradstreet, Louis Brandeis, Katherine B. Davis. . Dr. John Lovejoy Elliott, Henry Ford, Rev. John Haynes Holmes, Sophie Irene Loeb, Henry Moskowitz, Thomas Mott Osborne, Dr. John Herman Randall, Rev. Christian Reisner, Oscar - Straus, Lillian Wald, Rev. Stephen S. Wise, etc. (These names are used without the knowledge of these persons, ) | and then he must realize that civilization demands the protection of the interest of 90% of the population, the working men, the bulwark of our country, without ignoring the interests of the rich—instead of as now, 90% are being taxed for the benefit of a small minority. Laws should be passed for compulsory arbitration of all differences between capital and labor under the supervision of the Department of Welfare. , Laws should be passed so that every employee shall be pensioned upon reaching a certain age. Every employee shall likewise be protected against sickness or other disability. Every widow shall become the daughter of the nation and the orphan the child of the nation. | Our laws should also be changed so that widows of soldiers shall receive a decent pension, and not as now, a paltry allowance which enables no woman to make ends meet. A citizen should give his life to his country in case of need for the protection of the rest, and the country must, likewise, at the expense of the rest, look after the family of that man who has realized his sense of responsibility. NATIONAL CONSUMPTIVE SANATORIUMS. The first step of the Department of Welfare should be the building of National Consumpfive Sana- toriums, sufficient to accommodate all who need to be treated} and the Government shall transport them to such sanatoriums free of charge and take care of their familiés until the bread-winner is well once more, and that an appropriation sufficiently large for this should immediately be made.

LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE £ Our Incurables. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. Permit me, through your valuable paper, read by thousands, to express my high appreciation of the editorial and tender, loving and earnest appeal of Miss D. E. Nirdlinger. She is right— an angel of mercy, with visionary eyes, I see in her a true and loving friend to working girls and helpless invalids, who become victims of incurable diseases. God bless her! sorting appeal for a home for incurables should | h a responsive chord in the hearts of every Jan, Caecas and child in St. Louis, regardless of Position or creed—touch their pocketbooks ‘ens dank accounts. “Oh, what a blessing such an institution tn our t clty would be to hundreds of tolling peo- struggling to make an honest living, who are seized by some incurable disease, rendered penniless, and in poverty, with no one to love and care for them, watch the monster, Death, as he slowly tut surely touches the vital organs with the finger of death, claim the soul and re- turn the lifeless body to mother earth. ‘ Our Lord would be pleased with such a gift to the incurables and bless the donators. .,He says in His word: “I was an hungered and ye gave me meat; I was thirsty and ye gave me drink; I was a stranger and ye took me !n; nmaked and ye clohted me: I was sick and ye visited me; I was in prison and ye came unto me. Then shall the righteous anewer Him, saying: Lord, when saw we Thee an hungered and fed thee, or thirsty and gave thee drink? When sew we thee a stranger and took thee in, or naked and clothed thee? Or when saw we thee sick or in prison and came unto thee? And the King shall answer and say unto them: ‘Verily I say unto you, inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these, my brethren, ye have done it unto Me.'” Mat. 26, 34-40. Will the great, big-hearted citizens, who have done so much to rank St. Louls with the great- est cities in the world, please our dear Lord by providing a home for our tincurables? Yes, they will, now that the issue is placed before them by one who is so fully capacitated in every way—Miss D. E. Nirdlinger.

WE. R. DISGUSTED. Dangerous Open Quarries. “ To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. . . I, among thousands of others, would very much appreciate if through your efforts the co-opera- tion of influential taxpayers and all law abiding citizens the greatest nuisance of this city—open, unprotected, abandoned quarries—may speed- One of these, a disgrace takes up the entire space tetween ‘Broadway and Fileventh street, from Bellefontaine road to Bis- > sell street, at least 150 feet in depth. Being 5 used as a dumping place’ for rubbish of every ~ ‘tmaginable kind, and being partly filled with _ filthy water, it fs a breeding place for disease, ‘mosquitoes and vermin of every description.

Roosevelt eat the crow that has been Ls ome to him by the “Old Guard?” Is it possible that the fiery Colonel and his fervid followers will forget their “convictions” sah i stand with the German-American Alliance and the mollycoddies on a platform of “weasel words?” Col. Roosevelt had two planks which were con- spicuous over everything else and which embod- ied his strongest convictions as to the paramount issues in the present “crisis.” These planks were the American “crisis.” He concentrated his en- tire pre-convention campaign on them. He denounced everybody who would not accept them. One was military preparedness through com- pulsory universal military training and service. This was the necessary step, in addition to a igreat navy, to realize the security and destiny of the nation. | The other was a denunciation of the hyphen in America with the German-American Alliance as the target. The German-American Alliance triumphed over Col. Roosevelt in the Republican convention. {t got the candidates its leaders demanded on a platform which suited it. These leaders are boasting that they controlled the Republican con- vention and obtained the nomination of Hughes. They are gloating over the humiliation and re- pudiation of Roosevelt and his followers. There is not a hint of universal] military train- ing, not even President Wilson’s “weasel words,” in the Republican platform. The preparedness plank of the Republicans might be used as an indorsement of what the Wilson administration has done for the army. and navy. If Col. Roosevelt's utterances expressed “‘con- victions” and not partisan and politic guff for merely personal and political ends he and those who backed him cannot support Hughes and this platform without giving the country the most spectacular exhibition of crawfishing and pussy- footing in history. They must craw! backward into the Republican camp? Will they do it? | It looks as if the Third Term has received its final swat. . = =] — = = | BLIND TIGER IN FOREST PARE. The explanation of a remarkable incident at Forest Park is that Alderman Scholl had been given a permit to sell soft’ drinks to attendants on the al fresco performance of “As You Like It.” But 88 full bottles of beer were found in a park wagon lent to the Alderman and divers empty bottles, also a bottle of whisky and certain empty whisky bottles. ‘If peripatetic drain shops on wheels are to operate in St. Louis, they should be required to take out a license and made subject to the Ex- cise Commissioner. Forest Park, to which it is unlawful even to bring intoxicants. They should not be operated with city property in a park wagon as part of the plant. Why, indeed, should city property be loaned to facilitate a private gainful speculation even in soft drinks? While. we want to make our open-air Shaks- perean revival just as attractive as it is possible to make it for attendants, use of intoxicants in the park probably should be confined to the prop- erty beverages of the stage, especially any such Falstaffian proportion of intoxicants to nonin- toxicants as seems to have been discovered in this instance. = = rw! DEATH-TRAP QUARRIES. Attention of the Public Welfare Board is called to the letter, published today, complaining of a deep, unprotected quarry, in a district of the city where there are many children. It has been a death-trap, a young man having been killed there as late as June 2. The “ricketty board fence about three feet high,” which surrounds this quarry, is a sample of the kind of protection to be found around many other deep quarries in the city. Some of these contain dangerous stagnant ponds, in which boys and young men come to their: death by drowning. _All these unworked quarries are nuisances. But those that are being worked are too frequently unprotected by substantial fences. What fences they have are usually placed right on the edge of the precipice, so that the posts give way on pres- sure. Some of the fences are so rotten that they would bear no weight. And children, especially, are attracted to such places. There is a fascina- tion about a deep quarry, and the deeper and more dangerous, the greater is this fascination. It is the duty of the Public Welfare Board to see that everyone of these quarries is adequately pro- tected, with substantial fencing, so placed that it cannot give way. Abandoned quarries should be filled. COUNTRY HOME FOR INCURABLES. A Southern Missouri banker has written to Miss D. B. Nirdlinger, president of the Josephine House, who recently made an appeal for the in- curables of the State, offering to buy sufficient land, in the county, to enable those interested to start a farm, with school and other necessary buildings, as a home for those for whom the hos- pitals and other remedial institutions have no placer. . “The Missouri banker suggests that the institu- tion, if started, should be maintained by a fund raised by the charitable institutions of St. Louis and be under the contro! of a Board of Curators, as is the State University. A home such as this would: have the advantage | M of. ita location in the country, with plenty of room; pure air and inspiring surroundings. The Bethesda Home, in St. Louis, is only able to care for 35 patients, ahd has a waiting list of incurables who must be shut out for lack of room and money. In any Ove S Senet May Me: the Worst tocation They should be kept out of/s Tenoala Someiunieses with Miles’ | Stelling, wey a the object of organizing a ‘working committee, to act in co-operation with the charitable organiza- tions, including. the managers of the Bethesda Home, to carry out some such scheme for the benefit of Missouri incurables as set forth by the Missouri banker who made her the offer. If we are to have such a home—a Missouri Home for Incurables—its creation should be shared in by all Missourians who have the means and the de- sire to. take part in this necessary work. We have a permanent organization for the benefit of the blind. Why, any longer, allow the helpless in- curables to be neglected? i, i i With 200,000 Boy Scouts camping to improve themselves physically and to strive for useful- ness, it is to be a great summer for Uncle Sam. The boys deserve a plank in the presidential platforms. = = * — Sa HAS MR. HUGHES AN ISSUE? written in a hurry. Evidently it. was prepared, as he was prepared, during days and weeks of judicial silence to meet the occasion, which at length presented itself. Speaking after long meditation of “this criti- cal period in our national history” and of the “existing exigency,” Mr. Hughes _ nevertheless meets the crisis and the exigencies with general- ities and platitudes common enough when he abandoned politics in 1910, but sadly out of place today. In spite of+the favor with which they regard him, his countrymen, we believe, will turn from these hackneyed expressions with pain and disappointment. | The times are indeed out of joint—so much so that a candidate hoping to displace a President who for more than three years has wisely borne crushing burdens can hardly expect to win great public approval with fragments of ancient party platforms and repetitions of campaign cries made familiar in humdrum days. Not partial to political mystertes or antiqui- ties, the American people will insist upon bring- ing Mr. Hughes down to date. that Mr. Hughes would not have done and what has President Wilson teft undone that Mr. Hughes would, have done? In the enforcement of American rights to life and property at sea, would Mr. Hughes resort to diplomacy or war? Here he must be specific. Is he dissatisfied with the settlement of the submarine issue on terms that gave this country the most notable of all its diplomatic triumphs? In regard to the Mexican situation, would he have embraced Huerta and government by as- sassination and would he now assail a crippled neighbor or help him to stand erect. So much in love with “sound protective prin- ciples” that with the industry and commerce of the world distracted by war, he would invite the attorneys of Big Business, heedless of everything but their own gluttony, to write their extortions once more into the laws of the land. Is the Americanism to which he subscribes in such gen- eral terms the Americanism that President Wil- son has upheld in the face of foes, foreign and domestic, or is it the made-in-Europe American- ism ? Finally, in his unworthy and uncalled-for as- ault upon our devoted and overworked diplo- matic representatives in Europe has he any in- spiration but spoils or any fact to go upon ex- cept that’ the faithful men thus belittled are Democrats? The American people have respected, the si- lence of the jurist bound by tradition. They will not respect the silence of the candidate. Mr. Roosevelt represented the real opposition to President Wilson. He wanted war over Bel- gium, war with Mexico, war anywhere and ev- erywhere, as long as it was war. What does Mr. Hughes want that the people want that Mr. Wilson has not given us? . THE COLONEL A GOOD LOSER. Many of the telegrams applauded him (the Colonel) for being a good loser.—Oyster Bay News Item. The Colonel is a famous good loser. He showed it in 1912 and at countless other times. = = * i i ALFALFA AND BUTTERMILE. | If: what the Colonel did to the Progressive con- vention was a “cowardly stab,’ as Ida M. Tarbell calls it, how are. we to characterize what another convention did to a man? : Mr. Fairbanks was the choice of his party for the tail of its ticket in 1904. To find himself after 12 years still regarded as of only vice presidential size and the logical nominee for the place was, of course, discouraging and humiliating. Believing himself entitled to first place or nothing, this time, Mr. Fairbanks wired the Indiana delegation Saturday to withdraw his name at once, if any- body was unkind enough to propose him for the old job. In spite of everything, the nomina- tion was wished onto him again. How it came about Mr. Fairbanks explains in these plaintive words: The nomination was made and convention adjourned before my dispatch was received, Can you beat it? Bad as it was for the Colonel to adjourn leaving the Progressive convention in a trap, this incident of the cowardly convention which left a V. P. nomination on an embarrassed gentleman’s doorstep and ran is one of the meanest in our political history. However, the voters are not going to adjourn in any such hurry next November. Sympathizing deeply with Mr. Fairbanks’ conviction that he is entitled by this time to a promotion, they can so mark their bal- lots as to enable him to stay at home. ~* How the ticket, in which alfalfa and buttermilk are linked in a delightful, dairy-like way was so completed as to threaten disaster to hopes and political fortunes in Missouri is another sad tale. As Mr. Fairbanks fs an Indiana man, his nomination by. the Republicans will greatly on the Democratic plan to renominate . Marshall, also an Indiana man. This, of Ale, puts so many crimps into Gov. Major's boom‘to get on the Democratic ticket as to make Ht look like the open work of a washboard. The tango is drowned in a deluge of butter- milk. ‘ = _——_ There is a tragic ot AR by the Colonel’s ifriends who backed their convictions. , Mr. Hughes’ telegram of acceptance was not What, for instance, has President Wilson done v 2 ATRL seit Rey aR sonata Ae Fa , 4.) it ee eee Sone Stas , ‘ . ns on « . , : 4 nae “A cee ee Se eae st ee ioe sie i * J \ + Se , een eS = if p ne; y LER. . eat Al Sot eg +e as ~ Te ter Me 2, «eS to A 3x : ty; on - PANATELA.

And ifthe landlords who own most of St. Louis dé not make St. Louis a good place to live in, they will gradually lose their tenants to newer cities where the daily grind is softened by beautiful parks, opera houses, liberality of life—beauty, culture and re- finement. I know one St. Louis family who own a pretty big slice of the town. When the colléction plate is passed, they are not igterested.

Sa “ ~ OEE EE a he ARE Ra TIA Whi POMS OORT GRE RRR MD ARM ARI aan ’ ee Death Skagen; of Flanders A Tale From Chaucer (That part of the present Belgium which ts called Flanders always + has played a great part in English history and literature. England’s fighting men have fought in Flanders, for Flanders, and against Flanders. Their attempt today to break into the region to throw the Germans out is only another chapter of an age-long record. This story is from Chaucer, who wrote before 1400.) N Flanders there was a company of young men who committed every form of riot. They ate and drank beyond all measure, thus sacrificing to the Devil in his own chosen temple. They laughed at each other's sin. One Gay three of these rioters sat drunk in a tavern when they saw a c-rpse carried past the door and in- quired, laughing and jeering, who it was. The tapster lad told them that it was an old companion of theirs who was killed suddenly while he was drunk. “Who killed him?” they demanded _ “with. oaths that surely made the angels .#m Heaven shudder. “Quick!’"" Name .- Bim!” “He is a thief named Death,” an- g@wered the tapster lad. “He hath slain ’ ghany thousand of people hereabout.”’ ] “T yow to hunt him in every stile and * gtreet!"’ swore one of the three drunk- ~ grde, rising unsteadily to his feet. ~ “We will join thee!’’ cried the other ¢wo. Stark mad with drink, they stag- gered out on the road, swearing oaths ever new and grislier about. the deeds ghat they would do on this Death. _. They had not gone far before they met a poor, weak old man who greeted them meekly. “Churi,’’ said one of the drunkards, “‘what dost thou here, clout- ed up and crawling about at thine age? Why does not Death kill thee?” “Death, alas! will not take my life,” @newered the old man. “Thus do I ‘walk about on the ground, which is my ' mother’s door, knocking on it with my _gptaff and begging: ‘Dear mother, let me in.’ Yet she will not grant me this ~boon, God be with you. I must go on.” . “By Saint Jobn, we part not so light- » by!" gald one of the three. “Thou hast wepoke of that traitor Death that goes _ gmbout the country killing our friends. @ell us wheré he is or thou shalt pay thine. Then this gold will be yours and mine and we may do with it as we please!’’ EANTIME, the one who had been sent to town was casting about in his mind all the way how he might make all the beautiful ‘florins his. “Oh, Lord!” he said to himself. “If I could but have all this treasure to myself, not a man under Heaven would be happier than I.” The Great Enemy of mankind whis- pered to his spirit: at that, and into his brain came the thought that he might poison the wine. So he went to an apothecary who sold him a poison s0 mighty that a bit only as large as a | wheat-corn would strike a man dead. He bought three flasks of wine and poisoned two. Then he went back and set down the bread and the drink on the grass under the tree. The two murdered him, as they had agreed, and sat down to drink before they buried him, Laughing with great joy, and filled with eager thoughts of the delights that- the gold would buy them, they lifted their cups high and drank deep. In- stantly the poison caught them in the throat and the heart. They twisted themselves in agony on the ground be- side their slain companion until they, too, cast their lives out and lay cold. Thus the Death Slayers had been tricked by Death—for he was the vld man they had met on the road. This story ts “The Pardoner’s Tale” in the “Oanterbury Tales.” It ts one of the very old stories of the world, and is known in some form to almost every nation and race. Its origin ts untraceable.

The party was experiencing tremendous internal dissen- sion over the silver question. Between the gold standard ten of the East and the silver.men of the West there was bitter strife. This mohetary plank of the platform had to be settled in the convention be- fore any consideration could be given *o candidates. In the course of the debate, Mr. Bryan, a delegate from Nebraska, made his “crown of thorns” speech and immediately became acknowledged jead- er of the silver men. Not only did he drive the- gold stand- ard faction down to defeat, but swept the convention off its feet, arous- ing a demonstration of frenzied and tu- multuous enthusiasm seldom equaled. As the man of the hour, he was nomi- nated by acclamation for President on the first ballot. .

I love him as much as ever-—oh, more, more!—but I think’ I understand him rather better. The doctor told me that it was not necessary to sit up with him, but I couldn't sleep. So for two nights I sat curled up in one of Mrs. Higgins’ un- comfortable arm chairs, watching my husband. This morning about 6 o’clock his eyes opened and he spoke in a voice that was perfectly rational, although a little weak. ‘“‘Ned!’’ I exclaimed, hurrying to the bed and kneeling beside it. ‘You are feeling better, aren’t you? Your head is se much cooler; I think the fever must be nearly all gone. Oh, it doesn’t matter about me! As soon as I know you are all right I can rest.” *Mollie,”” he began again, stroking my face weakly with the hand I had pressed against it. ‘‘You saved my life the other day. The outgoing tide had caught me, and I never could have made the shore alone. And—and I went out there when you asked me to stay, be- cause I couldn’t take another woman's dare! I made you suffer for a. fool stunt, and then ‘you saved me from the consequences. Mollie, I’m not worth | ha 1 H, my dear,” I breathed, slip- ping his weak hand back be- neath the covers and putting my face close to his on the pillow, “don't you know that nothing in the world is worth anything to me now ex- cept you? I could not live without you. All the other people are shadows to me’’—— “And to me, Mollie,” he interrupted, his voice growing stronger with his' earnestness, “‘there aren’t any women except you. And yot I had to do what that fool girl told me, even when you begged me not to do it. Mollie, I have a beast of a temper. That Randall girl taunted me, and I can’t stand a sneer from anybody. If she'd been a man I'd have knocked her down. As it was, I took another way of getting even; made up my mind, all in a flash, that I'd do what she hinted I couldn't. “Once, when I was a child, I prom- ised my mother I wouldn't walk alone in a large forest near the hotel where we were spending our vacation. A little girl asked me to go in a little way and get her some flowers. When I refused she called me ‘fraid-cat.’ Raging, I broke my promise to my mother, wan- dered off into the woods and was lost for two days. I deserved a good licking —which I didn’t get. I guess one thing that’s the matter with me is that I’ve always been saved from the conse- quences of my acts, instead of being punished for them.” I have never known Ned to talk so frankly about himesif. Like most men, he isn't in the habit of analys- ‘ing his deeds or his disposition. He's energetic and not introspective. he pees I said, as paused rather gloomily, “will you make me a prom- ise now?

I know that a man mustn’t coddle himself or act like a Miss Nancy. I shan’t ask you to stop drinking or smoking or motoring. I shan‘t make you wear rubbers ev- ery time there’s a cloud in the sky. “But I have suffered so, this time. If I saved your life it belongs to me more than ever. Promise you won't put it in danger again.” I thought that Ned would give the promise at once. another silence, so long that I raised my head to look at him. He was frowning and the eyes he turned to me were sombre. “] can’t promise, Mollie,” he said, But there was]. ther years ago. I tell you, I can’t account for myself when I'm angry. It - seems as if I were in the center of a hot wave, too strong to be fought.” , “And that was why you struck my dog that day in the park,” I said, in sudden enlightenment. “Yes,” he answered shamedly. I° said nothing. There seemed nothing more to say. It was he who broke the pause. ‘I promise,” he said, soberly, “that I will do everything in my power to fight this abominable temper of mine —if you will help me, my wife.” “I promise, Ned.” I answered gravely. Of course I will help him—surely we together shall be strong enough to win. (To Be Continued.) A Tiny Church. CHURCH, said to be the smallest in America, was recently dedicat- ed in Manchester, N. H.

You shall not cru- cify mankind on a cross of gold.” This striking phrase, coming at the close of a brilliant speech at the Demo- cratic national convention of 1896, won a presidential nomination for William J. Bryan, but did not win him the elec- tion then or afterward. Bryan was the least known man, #0 far as public reputation was concerned, who ever achieved the nomination from one or the other of the two leading par- ties. .Previous to his flash into the limelight, that distinction had been held by Franklin Pierce of New Hampshire, who had been nominated and elected President in 1852. But since the hot day in July, in the ‘sweltering convention hall at Chicago, when he made his speech, Mr. Bryan has continued a foremost figure in the politics of 20 years. Three times nominated and defeated for the presidency—1896, 1900, 1908—and once failing of nomination, in 1912, Mr. Bryan takes place alongside of eon 4 Foot Expert . at ShoeMart His Services Free to Everybody opportunity for all will be here one week only.
