The result came after an all night session, which was kept In a constant state of tur moil up to the culmination moment, when the Nebraska leader was pro claimed the choice of the convention as the Democrat standard bearer. The nomination was made on the first and only ballot, the vote standing: W. J. Bryan 8924. Governor John A. Johnson 46. Judge Gray 59. Absent or not voting 8. Total 1,008. The announcement of the vote was the signal for a wild demonstration nuai In turbulence If not In dura FRIDAY EVENING. tion to the record breaking display which on Wednesday afternoon greeted the first mention of Bryan's name In the convention. The scene within the amphitheater at the moment the nomination was made was one of stirring animation. From pit to dome the vast building was packed with ten thousand people thin ned out in the remoter galleries by hours of waiting, and the Intense dis comfort of the hot night. It was a spectacle of grandiose proportions tier on tier and gallery on gallery of agi tated forms, the women In white, the delegates massed below, many of them coatless, a myriad of fans fluttering to combat the stifling heat and close tem perature of this long pent up exuber ant multitude, ever ready to spring In to feverish outbreaks of enthusiasm and everywhere the blaze of flags, bunting and patriotic devices and the enveloping folds of old glory. Twice before the throng had been moved In to a mad ecstacy, first by the speech placing the name of Bryan In nomina tion and again when that of Governor Johnson of Minnesota was proposed; but these manifestations paled before the culminating outburst of enotion. Evorbody Got Vp. As the announcement of the Nebras kan's actual nomination was made, the whole assemblage rose en. masse. waving flaj?s, handkerchiefs, newspa pers, hats and coats, anything and ev erything which hands could lay upon to wave aloft or hurl into the air, while a bedlam of sound poured from those ten thousand throats In exultant yells, catcalls, Comanche war whoops, with the added din of shrieking horns, the roar of megaphones, and the strains of the band playing an exultant anthem. When for a moment order could be secured out of this tempestuous chaos of demonstration, state after state which had at first recorded Its vote for Johnson or Gray, fell Into line with the overmastering Bryan column, and the nomination was (Continued on Page Two.)

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNALFRIDAY EVEIONG. JULY 10," 1908. HERE THET STAND Platform Adopted by Democrats in National Conrentlou Corers Almost Erery Important Public Question. SHALL PEOPLE RULE? Ih Declared to Be the Para mount Campaign Issue. Fa?ors Guarantee Banking Law or Postal Savings Banks. Denver. July 10. After more than twenty-four hours of almost contin uous service, th committee on resolu tions of the Democratic national con vention last night at 11:20 o'clock concluded Its work on the platform and after a period of revision and re arrangement of sections, the members of the committee, headed by the chair man. Governor Haskell of Oklahoma, with the document under his arm; started for the convention hall. AftV the last plank had been agreed upon Senator Daniel of Virginia and ex Senator Smith of New Jersey, an nounced their intention to support the nominee of the convention on the platform agreed upon. The committee adopted for pre sentation to the convention the follow ing resolution regarding Abraham Lincoln's birthday celebration: "Whereas. The 100th anniversary of the birth of Abraham Lincoln occurs on February 12, 1909, therefore, be it "Resolved by the Democratic na tional convention. That we recommend its appropriate celebration throughout our land." The committee voted down a reso lution providing that hereafter a ma jority vote shall be sufficient to effect the nomination of any candidate for president or vice president In national Democratic convention. The platform is as follows: The Preamble. We, the representatives of the De mocracy of the United States in na tional convention assembled reaffirm our belief in. and pledge our loyalty to. the principles of the party. We rejoice at the increasing signs of an awakening throughout the coun try. The various investigations have traced graft and political corruption to the representatives of predatory wealth and laid bare the unscrupulous methods by which they have debauch ed elections and preyed upon a de fenseless public through the subserv ient officials whom they have raised to place and power. The conscience of the nation is now aroused to free the government from the grip of those who have made it a business asset of the favor-seeking corporations; it must become a.ain a people's government and be adminis tered in all its departments according to the Jeffersonlan maxim of "equal rights to all and special privileges to none." "Shall the people rule?" is the over shadowing issue Which manifested itself In all the questions now under discussion. Officeholders. Coincident with the enormous In crease in expenditures is a like condi tion to the number of officeholders. During the past year 23.784 were add ed, costing J16.156.000. and in the past six years of the Republican adminis tration the total number of new offices created aside from many commissions has been 99,319, entailing an addition al expenditure of nearly seventy mil lion dollars as against only 10.279 new offices created under the Cleveland and McKlnley administrations, which in volved an expenditure of only $6,000. 000. We denounce this great and growing increase In the number of officeholders as not only unconstitu tional and wasteful but also as clearly indicating a deliberative purpose on the part of the administration to keep the Republican party in powre at public expense by thus increasing the number of its retainers and depend ents. Such procedure we declare to be no less dangerous and corrupt than the open purchase of votes at the polls. Economy In Administration. The Republican congress in the ses sion Just ended has made appropria tions amounting to $1. 008. 000. 000, ex ceeding the total expenditures of the past fiscal year by $90,000,000 and leaving a deficit of more than $60,000 -000 for the fiscal year. We denounce the heedless waste of the people's money which has resulted In this ap palling increase as a shameful viola tion of all prudent conditions of gov ernment as no less than a crime against the millions of working men and women from whose earnings the great proportion of these colossal sums must be extorted through exces sive tariff exactions and other indirect methods. It is not surprising that in the face of this shocking record, the Republican platform contains no ref erence to economical administration or promise thereof in the future. We demand that a stop be put to this frightful extravagance and insist upon the strictest economy in every depart ment compatible with frugal and effi cient administration. Arbitrarj Power of Speaker. The House of Representatives was designed by the fathers of the consti tution to be the popular branch of our government responsive to the public will. The house of representatives as con trolled in recent years by the Republi can party has ceased to be a delibera tive and executive body, responsive to Understood It is well understood by reliable dealers that 1 Flavoring Vannta Lemon Orange Rna. txTracis have constituted for years past the standard flavors in all the markets of this country. If the opinion of the best class of consumers is at all worthy of acceptance, they are the purest, strongest, and finest flavoring extracts in the world. WILLIAM JENNINGS the will of a majority of its members, but has come under the absolute dom ination of the speaker, who has entire control of Its deliberations and powers or legislation. We have observed with amazement the popular branch of our federal gov ernment helpless to obtain either the consideration or enactment of meas ures desired by a majority of its mem bers. Legislative government becomes a failure when one member In the per son of the speaker is more powerful than the entire body. We demand that the house of repre sentatives shall again become a delib erative body controlled by a majority of the people's representatives and not by the speaker, and we pledge our selves to adopt such rules and regula tions to govern the house of repre sentatives as will enable a majority of its members to direct its deliberations and control legislation. Misuse of Patronage. We condemn, as a violation of the spirit of our institutions the action of the present chief executive In using the patronaga of his high office to se cure the nomination of one of his cab inet officers. A forced succession in the presidency is scarcely less repug nant to public sentiment than Is life tenure In that office. No good Inten tion on the part of the executive and no virtue in the one selected can just ify the establishment of a dynasty. The right of the people to freely select their own official is inalienable, and cannot be delegated. Campaign Contributions. We demand federal legislation for ever terminating the partnership which has existed between corpora tions of the country and the Republi can party under the expressed or im plied agreement that In return for the contribution of great sums of money wherewith to purchase elections, they should be allowed to continue substan tially unmolested In their efforts to en croach on the rights of the people. Any reasonable doubt as to the ex istence of this relation has been for ever dispelled by the sworn testimony of witnesses examined in the Insurance Investleation In New York and the open admission unchallenged by the Republican national committee of a single individual that he himself at the personal request of the Republi can candidate for the presidency re ceived over a quarter million to be used in a single state during the clos ing hours of the last campaign. In order that this practice shall be stop ped for all time, we demand the pas sage of a statute punishing with im prisonment any officer of a corpora tion who shall either contribute on be half of, or consent to the contribution bv a corporation of any money or thing of value to be used in furthering the election of a president or vice president of the L'nited States or of any member of the congress thereof. We denounce the action of the Re publican party having complete con trol of the federal government for its failure to pass the bill introduced in the last congress to compel tte pub lication of the names of contributors and amount contributed toward cam paign funds, and point to the evidence of their insincerity when they sought by an absolutely irrelevant and im possible amendment to defeat the pas sage of the bill. As a further evidence of their intention to conduct tneir campaign in the coming contest with vast sums of money wrested from fa vor seeking corporations, we call at tention to the fact that the recent Re publican national convention at Chi cago refused, when the issue was pre sented to It, to declare against such practices. We pledge the Democratic party to the enactment of a law prohibiting any corporation from contributing to a campaign fund and any individual from contributing an amount above a reasonable maximum and providing for the publication before election of all such contributions. The Rights of tlie States. Believing, with Jefferson, in "the support of the state governments In all their rights as the most com petent administration for our domes tic concerns and the surest bulwark against anti-Republican tendencies" and in "the preservation of the general government in its whole con stitutional vigor, as the sheet anchor of our peace at home and safely abroad." we are opposed to the cen tralization implied by the suggestions, now frequently made, that the powers of the general government should be extended by executive ac tion and by judicial construction. There Is no twilight zone between the nation and the state in which exploit ing Interests can take refuge from both, and it is as necessary that the federal government shall exercise the powers delegated to it as that the state government shall use the authority reserved to them, but we insist that the federal, remedies for regulation of interstate commerce and for the prevention of private monopolies shall be added to, not sub stituted for, state remedies. TariJT. We welcome the belated promise of tariff reform now offered by the Republican party in tardy recognition of the righteousness of the Demo cracy's position on this question; but me people cannot sarely entrust the execution of this important work to a party which Is so deeply obligated to the highly protected interests as Ar w; '1 BRYAN IN 1896. is the Republican party. We call at tention to the significant fact that the promised relief was postponed until after the coming election an election to succeed in which the Re publican party must nave that same support from the beneficiaries of the high protective tariff as it has al ways heretofore received from them; and to the further fact that during years of uninterrupted power no ac tion whatever has been taken by the Republican congress to correct the admitted by existing tariff iniquities. We favor immediate revision of the tariff by the reduction of import duties. Articles entering into com petition with trust-controlled prod ucts should be placed upon the free list; and material reductions should be made in the tariff upon the neces saries of life, especially upon articles competing with such American manu' factures as are sold abroad more cheaply than at home; and graduate reduction should be made in such other schedules as may be necessary to restore the tariff to a revenue basis. Kxisting duties have given to the manufacturers of paper a shelter be hind which they have organized com binations to raise the price of pulp and of paper thus imposing a tax upon the spread of knowledge. We demand the immediate repeal of tariff on wood pulp, print paper, lumber, timber and logs and that these articles be placed upon the free list. Trusts. A private monopoly is indefensible stnd intolerable. We, therefore, favor the vigorous enforcement of the criminal law against guilty trust magnates and officials, and demand the enactment of such additional legislation as may be necessary to make it impossible for a private monopoly to exist In the United States. Among the additional remedies, we specify three; first, a law preventing a duplication of direc tors among competing corporations; second, a license system which will without abridging the right of each state to create corporations, or its right to regulate as it will foreign corporations doing business within Its limits, make It necessary for a manufacturing or trading corporation engaged in interstate commerce to take out a federal license before it shall be permitted to control as much as 25 per cent of the product in which it deals. The license to pro tect the public Trom watered stock and to prohibit the control by such corporations of more than 50 per cent of the total amount of any product consumed in the United States, and third, a law compelling such licensed corporations to sell to all purchasers in all parts of the country on the same terms, after making due allowance for cost of transportation. Railroad Regulation. We assert the right of congress to exercise complete control over Inter state commerce and the right of each state to exercise control over com mence within its borders. We demand such enlargement of the powers of the Interstate Com merce commission as may be neces sary to compel railroads to perform their duties as common carriers and prevent discrimination and extortion. We favor the efficient supervision of ana rate regulation or railroads engag ed in interstate commerce. To this end we recommend the physical valuation of railroads by the interstate commerce commission, such valuation to take into consideration the physical value of the property, the original cost of reproduc tion and all elements of value that will render the valuation made fair and Just.. We favor such legislation as will pro- imdu tne railroads from eneaeinz In business which brings them into com petition with their shippers, also legis lation wnicn win assure such reduction in transportation rates as condition will permit, care being taken to avoid re duction that would compel a reduction of wages, prevent adequate- service or do injustice to legitimate investment We heartily aipprove the laws prohibit ing the pass and the rebate and we favor any further necessary legislation to restrain, correct and prevent such abuses. n.&.GUtina Never Fails to RESTORE GRAY or FADED HAIR to its NATURAL COLOR and BEAUTY No matter how long it has been gray er faded.

That the present law relating thereto is inadequate oy reason or tne lacr that the Interstate commerce commis sion is without power to fix or in vestigate a rate until complaint has been made to It ty the shipper. We further declare that all agree ments of traffic or other associations of railway agents affecting interstate rates, service cr classification shall be unlawful unless filed with and approved by the interstate commerce commis sion. We favor enactment of a law giving to the Interstate commerce commission the power to inspect proposed railroad tariff rates or schedules before they shall take effect and. if they be found to be unreasonable, to initiate an ad Justment thereof. Banking. The panic of 1907, coming without any legitimate excuse, when the Re publican party had for a decade been In complete control of the federal gov ernment, furnishes additional proof that it is either unwilling or lncompet ent to protect the Interest of the pub lic. It has so linked the country to Wall street that the sins of the specu lators. are visited upon the whole peo ple. While refusing to rescue the wealth produced from spoliation at the hands of the stock gamblers and spec ulators in farm products, it has de posited treasury funds without interest and without competition, in favorite banks. It has used an emergency for which it is largely responsible to force through congress a bill changing the basis of bank currency and inviting market manipulation, and has failed to give the 15 million depositors of the country protection in their savings. We believe that insofar as the needs of commerce require an emergency cur rency, such currency should be issued, controlled by the federal government and loaned on adequate security to na tional and state banks. We pledge our selves to legislation under which the national banks shall be required to es tablish a guarantee fund for the prompt payment of the depositors of any in solvent national bank, under an equi table system which shall be available to all state banking institutions wish ing to use it. We favor a postal savings bank if the guaranteed bank cannot be secured and that it be constituted so as to keep the deposited money in the communi ties where it is established. But, we condemn the policy of the Republican party in providing postal savings banks under a plan of conduct by which they will aggregate deposits of rural com munities and redeposit the same while under government charge in the banks of Wall street, thus depleting the cir culating medium of the producing re gions and unjustly favoring the specu lative markets. Income Tax. We favor an income tax, as part of our revenue system, and we urge the submission of a constitutional amend ment specifically authorizing congress to levy and collect a tax upon indi vidual and corporate incomes, to the end that wealth may bear its pro portionate share of the burdens of the federal government. Labor and Injunction. The courts of Justice are the bul wark of our liberties, and we yield to -none in our purpose to maintain their dignity. Our, party has given to the bench a long line of. distin guished Judges, whsi have added to the respect and confidence in which this department must be jealously maintained. We resent the attempt of the Republicans to raise a false issue respecting the judiciary. It is an unjust reflection upon a great body of our citizens to assume that they lack respect for the courts. It Is the function of the courts to in terpret the laws which the people create and if the laws appear to work economic, social or political injus tice. It is our duty to change them. The only basis upon which the in tegrity of our courts can stand is that of unswerving Justice and pro tection of life, personal liberty and property. If Judicial processes may be abused, we should guard them against abuse. Experience has proven the neces sity of a modification of the pres ent law relating to injunctions and we reiterate the pledge of our na tional platforms of 1896 and 1904 in favor of the measure which passed the United States senate in 1896, but which a Republican congress has ever since refused to enact; relating to contempts in federal courts and providing for trial by Jury in cases of indirect contempt. Question of Judicial practice have arisen especially in connection with industrial disputes. "We deem that the parties to all Judicial proceedings should be treated with rigid Im partiality, and that injunctions should not be issued in any case in which injunction would not issue if no in dustrial dispute were involved. The expanding organization of industry make it essential that there should be no abridgment of the right of wage earners and producers to organize for the protection of wages and the improvement of labor conditions to the end that such la bor organizations and their mem bers should not be regarded as illegal combinations in restraint of trade. We favor the 8-hour day on all government works. We pledge the Democratic party to the enactment of a law by congress, as far as the federal jurisdiction ex tends, for a general employers' liability act covering injuries to body or loss of life of employes. We pledge the Democratic party to the enactment of a law creating a department of labor, represented separately in the president's cabinet which department shall include the subject of mines and mining. Merchant Marine. We believe In the upbuilding of the American merchant marine with out new or additional burdens upon the people and without bounties from the public treasury. The Navy. The constitutional provision that a navy shall be approved and main tained means an adequate navy, and we believe that the interest of the country would be best served by hav ing a navy sufficient to defend the coasts of this country and protect American citizens wherever their rights may be in Jeopardy. Protection of American Citizens. We pledge ourselves to insist upon 'the just and lawful protection of our citizens at home and abroad and to use all proper methods to secure for them. whether native born or naturalized and without distinction of race or creed, the equal protection of law and the enjoyment of all rights and privileges open to them under our treaty: and, if under exist ing treaties, the right of travel and sojourn Is denied to American citi zens or recognition is withheld from American passports by any countries on the ground of race or creed, we favor prompt negotiations with the government of such countries to se cure the removal of these unjust dis criminations. We demand that all over the world a duly authenticated passport issued by trie government of the United States to an American citizen shall be proof of the fact that he is an American citizen and shall entitle him to the treatment due him as such. Civil Service?. The laws pertaining to the civil ser vice should be honestly and rigidly en forced to the end that merit and abil ity shall be the standard of appoint ment and promotion rather than ser vice rendered a political party. Pensions. We favor a generous pension policy, both as a matter of justice to the sur viving veterans and their dependents and because it tends to relieve the country of the necessity of maintain ing a large standing army. Healtb Bureau. We advocate the organization of all existing national public health agen cies into a national bureau of public health, with such power over sanitary conditions connected with factories, mines, tenements, child labor and oth er such subjects as are properly with in the jurisdiction of the government and do not interfere with the power of the states controlling public health agencies. Agricultural and Mechanical Education The Democratic party favors the ex tension of agricultural, mechanical and industrial education. We, there fore, favor the establishment of dis trict agricultural experiment stations. the secondary agricultural and me chanical colleges in the several states. Popular Election of Senators. We favor the election of United States senators by the direct vote of the people and regard this reform as the gateway to other national reforms. Oklahoma. We welcome Oklahoma to the sis terhood of states and heartily congrat ulate her on the auspicious beginning of a great career. Arizona and New Mexico. The national Democratic party has for the last sixteen years labored for the admission of Arizona and New Mexico as separate states of the feder al union and recognizing that each possesses every qualification to suc cessfully maintain separate govern ment, we favor the immediate admis sion of these territories as separate state. Grazing Lends. The establishment of rules and reg ulations if any such are necessary in relation to free grazing upon the pub lic lands outside of forest or other re servations until the same shall even tually be disposed of should be left to the people of the states respectively in which such lands may be situated. Waterways. Water furnishes the cheapest means of transportation and the national government, having the control of navigable streams. should improve them to their full est capacity. We earnestly favor the immediate adoption of a lib eral and comprehensive plan for im proving every water course in the un ion which is justified by the needs of commerce and to secure that end we favor, when practicable, the connec tion of the Great Lakes with the navi gable rivers and with the Gulf through the Mississippi river and the navigable rivers with each other, and the rivers, bays and sounds of our coasts with each other by artificial canals with a view to perfecting a system of inland waterways to be navigated by vessels of standard draught.

Post Roads. We favor federal aid to state and local authorities in the construction and maintenance of post roads. Telegraph and Telephones. We pledge the Democratic party to the enactment of a law to regulate the rates and services of telegraph and telephone companies engaged in the transmission of messages between the states under, the jurisdiction of the In terstate Commerce commission. Natural Resources. We repeat the demand for internal development and for the conservation of our national resources contained in previous platforms, the enforcement of which Mr. Roosevelt has vainly sought from a reluctant party; and to that end, we insist upon the preservation, protection and replacement of needed forests, the preservation of the public domain for homeseekers, the protection of the national resources In timber, coal, iron and oil against monopolistic control, the development of our water ways for navigation and every other usual purpose Including the irrigation of arid lands, the reclamation of swamp lands, the clarification of streams, the development of water power, and the preservation of electric power generat ed by this natural force from the con trol of monopoly; and, to such end we urge the exercise of all powers, na lonal. state and municipal, both sep arately and In co-operaion. We insist upon a policy of administration of our forest reserve which shall relieve it of the abuses which have arisen there under and which shall, as far as prac ticable, conform to the police regula tions of the several states where they are located which shall enable home steaders as of right to occupy and ac quire title to all portions thereof which are especially adapted to agriculture and which shall furnish a system of timber sales -available as well as to the private citizen as to the larger manu facturer and consumer. Hawaii. We favor the application of prin ciples of the land laws of the United States to our newly acquired territory Hawaii to the end that the public lands of that territory may be held and uti lized for the benefit of bona fide home steaders. Philippines. We condemn the experiment in im perialism as an inexcusable blunder which has involved us in an enormous expense, brought us weakness Instead of strength and laid our nation open to the charge of abandoning a funda mental doctrine of self-government. We favor an Immediate declaration 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' as we guarantee the Independence of Cuba until the neu tralization of the islands can be se cured by treaty with other powers. In recognizing the independence of the BRYAN, JR. Philippines our government should re tain such land as may be necessary for coaling station and naval bases. Alaska and Porto Rico. We demand for the people of Alaska and Porto Rico the full en joyment of the rights and privileges of a territorial form of government and the officials appointed to ad minister the government of all our territories and the District of Co lumbia should be thoroughly qualified by previous bona fide resi dence. Panama Canal. We believe the Panama canal will prove of great value to our country and favor its speedy completion. Pan-American Relations. The Democratlo party recognizes the importance and advantage of de veloping closer ties of Pan-American friendships and commerce between the United States and her sister na tions of Latin America and favors the taking of such steps, consistent with "Democratic policies, for better acquaintance,' greater mutual confi dence and larger exchange of trade, as will bring lasting benefit not only to the United States but to this group of American republics having constitutions, forms of government, ambitions and interests akin to our own. Asiatic- Immigration. We favor full protection by both national and state government within their respective spheres of all for eigners residing In the United States under treaty, but we are opposed to the admission of Astatic immigrants who cannot be amalgamated with our population or whose presence among us would raise a race issue ana in volve us in diplomatic controversies with oriental powers. Foreign Patents. We believe where an American citizen holds a patent In a foreign country, is compelled to manufacture under his patent within a certain time, similar restrictions should be applied in this country to the citizen or subject of such a country. Conclusion. The Democratic party stands for Democracy; the Republican has drawn to Itself all that is aristocratic and plutocratic. The Democratic party is the cham pion of equal rights and opportuni ties to all; the Republican party Is the party of privilege and private monopoly. The Democratic party lis tens to the voice of the whole people and gauges progress by the prosperity and advancement of the average man; the Republican party is sub servient to the comparatively few who are the beneficiaries of govern mental favoritism. We invite the co operation of all, regardless of prev ious political affiliation or past differ ences, who desire to preserve a gov ernment of the people by the people and for the people, and who favor such an administration of the gov ernment as will insure, as far as hu man wisdom can, that each citizen shall draw from society a reward commensurate with his contribution to the welfare of society.

Dunn Nominates for the Presidency Nebraska's Most Distinguished Democratic Citizen,; "i MAN OF THE HOUR. Declares There Is a Crisis fu National Affairs And the Fairilew Farmer Is the Man to Meet It. Convention Hall. Denver, Colo., July 10. William Jennings Bryan was placed In nomination for the presi dency by Ignatius Dunn, -who ad dressed the Democrat national con vention as follows: Mr. Chairman and Gentlemen of the Convention: Crises arise in the life of nations which endanger their institutions and, at times. Imperil the advance of civil isation. Every people that has left its im press upon history has faced such crises. In most Instances, "where grave dangers have threatened the safety of the state, some great character,' some master mind has been found, produced as it were by the conditions them selves, with capacity to direct aright the energies of the people. This was true of the ancient "world; it has been true of the modern .world; it is true of this republic. We Tia-rr such ;a crisis to-meet today. The favor seeking corporations have gradually strength ened their hold upon the government until they now menace popular insti tutions. Iguatius j. DuniT of-1 Omaha, Who Placed Bryan in domination. The question i. whether this gov ernment shall be restored to the con trol of the people and T administer-' ed in the interest of all, or whether it shall remain an instrument, in the. hands of the few for levying tribute upon all the rest. Quotes Roosevelt. In his special message 'to" Congress last' winter. President Roosevelt de clared, substantially, that certain wealthy men who have become enor mously rich by oppressing! the wage earner, defrauding the public and practicing all forms of iniquity, have banded together, and by the-unlimited use of money, endeavor to secure freedom from restraint and to over throw and discredit all who honestly administer the law. .That the methods by which -these men, have acquired their great for tunes can only be Justified, by: a sys tem of morality, that would permit every form .of criminality, every form of violence, corruption tend fraud. For many years, and especially dur ing the last twelve years, these very men have been in control of the Re publican party; they have financed every campaign of that party for' a quarter of a century. These exploit era of the people, whom the president has so scathingly denounced, have given their enthusiastic support to the Republican candidates and policies They laid their hands upon the trust funds of insurance companies and other corporations and turned the plunder over to the Republican com mittee. The money thus filched from the Innocent and helpeas,- to purchase Republican victory, nas -not; been re paid. And where do we find these men today? Where are the "swollen for tunes't of which we have heard so much? Just where, we would expect to find them supporting the Republi can ticket and furnishing the sinews of war for the Republican committee as usual. President Repudiated. The platform adopted by the late convention shows what the Republi can party in truth represents. In framing the platform, every genuine reform which the president has ad vocated was scorned and repudiated. The Wisconsin delegation asked that one or two reform planks be placed In the platform, and rpr ita pains was denounced as Democratic. The con vention by a vote of eight to one re fused to approve those policies which the president for four years has been urging upon his part jr. The mask of hypocrisy has been torn from the face of those who pretend to favor the reforms advocated by the president. Sores and Ulcers are indications of impure blood. They show that the circulation has become infected with germs and poisons, which are being constantly discharged into the open place to irritate the delicate nerves, tissues and surrounding flesh and keep the sore in a state of inflammation and disease. Whether these impurities in the blood are the result of some debilitating sickness, an old taint from a former disease, or whether it is hereditary bad blood, there is but one way to cure sores and ulcers, and that is to purify the blood. Washes, salves, lotions, etc, are often bene ficial because of their cleansing, antiseptic effects, but nothing applied to the surface can reach the blood, where the real cause is, and therefore cannot cure. S. S. S. is the remedy for sores and ulcers of every kind. It gets down to the very bottom of tlie trouble and removes every trace of impurity or poison, and makes a lasting cure. S. S. S. changes the quality of the circulation, so that instead of feeding the diseased parts with impurities, it nourishes and heals the irritated, inflamed flesh and causes the ulcer to fill in with healthy tissue Vy supplying it with pure, rich blood.

If the charges mada.byrthe presi dent are true and they .-are true-r-we are Indeed face to face with a situa tion1 as grave as any m our history. How shall it be met? The good sense, patriotism and united action of the people alone can remedy present evils. Must Have a leader. To wage a successful fight we must have a leader.- The RepuDlican party. dominated by the seekers of special privileges, cannot furnish him. .Re publicans who really desire reform are powerless; the effortB.of the president have been futile. The Democratic party must fumh the leader which present conditions demand, and he must be a man known to be free from the influences that control the Republican party. He must be a man of superior, intellect, sound-Judgment, positive convictions and moral courage one who." will meet -the forces of plutocracy with the naked sword of trutn one .who knows no surrender. He must have a genius for state-craft; he must be a man of wide experience m public af fairs; he must have ability to formu late, policies and courage to defend them. But above all. he must have faith In the people. He must not only be lieve in the right of the people to gov ern, but in their capacity to do so. And he must be a -man whom the perrpie know-and trust ffrojn The Democratic party has many dis tinguished men: -whoiiKB tie? .eiioaMi'j as our; standard bearer; but -4tj, has one. hian who above, all, others pos sesses the necessary qualifications and' Is eminently fitted for. thi leadership. Describee the Man, v. He is a man whose nomination will' leave no doubt as to Where our party stands on every public question. Hia genius for state-craft is shown by the constructive work he has done in proposing reforms, and by the ability with which he has fortified his posi tion. But we may go farther. A few months since, he visited the principal nations .of the world.' He came in contact with the- leading minds of Christendom, and the world abroad recognized his greatness and paid him that tribute Justly "due to men of high attainments..,.. In the most distinguished peace convention that has assembled in re cent years, he proposed a plan";wh-ich, if adopted, would prove more" effec tive -than any arbitration treaty that has yet been made, and by his -Influence he secured its approval by the representatives of the twenty-six leading nations there assembled. Is he thoroughly informed regard ing the issues of this campaign? Read his speeches and his writings, which for nearly twenty years have been a part of the political literature of the nation. Is he sincere, brave and de termined? Even his political oppon ents now admit that. he.ls,., I have had a close jjersonal ai)d, political acquaintance with' thia .tnan, whose name "Nebraska presents,' since he entered political life. I ean testify-from observation' as te his political conduct before he was known to fame. He was honest, brave, and, unyielding then;. he is honest, brave and. unyiejdn ing now. Honesty is Inherent in. him. He was an honest lawyer before he en tered politics. He was honest in his political methods before, his states manship was recognized by the nation; and he has been honest, throughout his political career. His convictions have been his poli tical creed. He has Impressed these convictions upon others, not by dicta tion, but by arguments addressed to the judgment. and the. conscience Believing in the ultimate triumph of the right, he has never-examined ques tions from the standpoint of exped iency. He has never Inquired whether a political principle was popular; it has been sufficient for him to believe that it was right. He has been a consistent champion of the reserved rights of the states. He favored the election of senators by HEALS o SORES AND ULCERS direct vote before the house of represen tatives ever acted favorably upon the subject. He championed tariff reform when the west was the hot-bed of pro tection. His Record. He favored an income tax before the income tax law was written. He attacked the trusts when Republican leaders were denying that any trusts existed. He advocated railroad regulation- before the crusade against re bates and discrimination began. He has always been the friend of labor, and was among the first to urge conciliation between labor-and cap ital. He began to oppose government by injunction more than a decade ago. He announced his opposition to Imper ialism before any other man of prom inence had expressed himself on the subject, and without waiting to see whether it would be popular. When a Wall street panic burst upon us a few months ago, he promptly pro posed as a remedy, the guarantee of bank deposits, and so popular has this plan become that it is today a national Issue and supported by the masses of the people. He .has long advocated legislation which will secure-publicity as to campaign contributions. He believes in peace in universal Christian peace. He believes the des tiny of nations should be determined not by wars but by applying the prin ciples of Justice and humanity. Though these principles have met with uncompromising opposition from the special interests, he has remained true to the cause of the people. With clear vision and with unfaltering trust, seeing and knowing the truth, he has never lost faith in its final victory. Through years of unparalleled polit ical warfare, his loyalty to his ideals and of .his Xellowmen has been abun dantly shown.: His refusal t surren der, ihfs convictions, though" subjected to abuse, denunciation and vindictive opposition "such as few publitf men "In all history have' beeii compelled to Withstand, is ample proof of his superb courage. His Career. His career, proves." that successful leadership is determined by the success or failure of, great principles rather than by election to high office. We have met to plan the campaign and to commission the commander un der whom the masses will enlist. We are not here In response to the voice of expediency; neither political bosses nor corporate masters sent us here. We are here at the summons of the rank and file of that political organ ization which is the special defender of the rights of the common, people, We are here representing all that is best in the traditions of our party; we feel again that spirit that animat ed the Democracy in the days of Jeffer son and Jackson. The voters have spoken,' arid -we as semble to give expression of their will. The voice for the third time calls Ne braska's favorite son to be the stand ard bearer of his party in this gigantic Contest. Since time began no grander tribute was ever paid- to any man, by; a free people. He is recognized today' as the most representative citizen of the na tion, the peer of any living Man. .Friends and foes have learned that he was shaped in that heroic mold In which the world's great patriots, states men and leaders have been cast. First nominated when- ten years younger than, any other presidential candidate ever chosen by a prominent party; living in a state BOO miles far ther west than that in which any presi dent' has ever lived, he has grown in the- affections of the people' as the years have passed. Xo Secrets From Friends. Speaking and writing freely on all subjects, his heart has had no secrets and his friends have increased in num bers and in confidence. Without an organization to urge h!a claims; without a campaign fund to circulate literature. In his behalf; with out patronage to bribe a single voter; without a- predatory corporation-- to coerce its employes into his support; without a subsidized newspaper to in fluence the public mind: he has won a signal victory at the primaries and has become the free choice of the militant democracy of the nation. Forming in one unbroken phalanx, extending from Massachusetts to Cali fornia, and from Michigan to the ever glades, the yeomanry of the party have volunteered their services to make him the party candidate; and they will not lay down their arms until they have made him. the nation's chief execu tive. Nebraska's Democracy which saw In him, when a young tnah,' the signs of promise, places In nomination as the standard bearer of our party the man who in the thrilling days of 'M in4 1900 bore the battle-scarred banner of De mocracy 'with fame as unsullied ;and fidelity as spotless as the Crusaders of old. Nebraska presents his name be cause Nebraska claims' his dwelling place, and proudly enrolls hltn among her- citizens;' but his-home-s'-In the hearts of the people.

Three straight games from Larry Milton's Trlpletts, Topeka's hoodoo team, this season, -isn't so worse, and this Is Just what the locals succeeded in doing, adding the final chapter of this page of baseball history yesterday afternoon. The- score was 4 to 3 in in favor of the local bunch. The game wasn't a bad one at all. It was Just one of those nice games which the 'average fan enjoys. There was not too much excitement and still there was Just enough doubt as' to the outcome to brush up the enthusiasm of the fans.- -As has been the custom in every game of the series the locals had a hard, up hW' route to travel but they emerged successful. There is something nice about the fighting spirit witn wnicn the locals are wont to per form of late. There. is something that aoesn t .cause discouragement to per vade the local camp should some team perchance get into the -lead. Tester- day when the locals started to. win tho game there was a handicap of three runs. Larry Milton was pitching great ball for the visitors 'and the. locals were laying down grounders to the In field with monotonous regularity.- But there is always -the unexpected, ele ment in the national game and it as serted itself yesterday afternoon. Incidentally it might be. recorded that yesterday's battle marked the sixth appearance of Pitcher Selby in a local ball suit. s And it was also bis sixth successive' victory. Selby is a good pitcher all 'right.- He got a, bad start yesterday. It. wasn't entirely his fault as there was something of dumb nature about his support which allow ed a couple of funs to be scored which should not have couated. He soon took cognizance of theY 'situation and he featured In the latter part of the game with work of an ir--tight variety... Selby started his Own trouble by Is suing a pass to Harry Cheek, the quiet, retiring catcher- of the Webb City team.

Advance payment Is requested on these short time subscriptions, to save bookkeeping expenses. Most everybody will agree with Mr. (Bryan that the Democratic party has been very good to him. And in pass ing It might be said that he has done omething for his party. John H. Atwood, of Leavenworth, is being boomed for the Job of chairman f the Democratic national committee. There are few men who could conduct the Democratic campaign any better. Tom Johnson's defeat among his friends to represent Ohio on the Demo cratic national committee is being looked upon as evidence of his being a victim of his own progressiveness. It Is, moreover, a severe setback to his political ambitions. Inappropriate weather conditions are ever prevailing in Kansas so what's the use of kicking about them. Here it is the second week in July and the temperature during the nights and early mornings borders on that which would be expected around the first of January- It's been discovered that the chan nel of the Kaw river la harrow. Some thing like that was to be expected. Narrow is something of a synonym for mean and if there Is anything on the face of the earth that has more mean er attributes than the Kaw It has not been found out as yet A correction. Through an oversight It was stated in this column recently that New York had only sixteen can didates for the Democratic vice presi dential nomination. It has developed that she has nineteen. Apologies, a thousand apologies are tendered for the unintentional injustice done. And now the Democrats are Insisting that he ride of Theodore A. Bell of eight miles on a hand car so that he could get to Denver to deliver his speech as temporary chairman of the (Democratic national convention should go down In history and song along side of the famous rides of John Gilpin, Phil Sheridan and Paul Revere. What will be their next demand? i Mr. Bryan and his friends need not fear any recriminations from Jim Guffey and his followers at the polls because of the unceremonious way In which they were prevented from par ticipating in the Democratic national convention. Pennsylvania always goes so overwhelmingly Republican at a national election that any help from Colonel Jim and his disgruntled co horts will be superfluous In placing the electoral vote of Pennsylvania against the Nebraskan. Exceedingly refreshing has been one feature of the Democratia national convention In these modern days of eut-and-drled political affairs. The platform was made on the spot In the good old fashioned way. It was not written In advance and forced down the throat of the committee on resolu tions as other platforms have been. And Mr. Bryan and his friends, with their overwhelming control In the con vention, could have done this very thing if they so desired. To be sure Bryan sawed out and dictated certain planks all right, and rejected some timbers that were on the ground. What everyone expected Just nat urally happened. The convention rec ord Of forty-six minutes of cheers for Roosevelt which was made by the Re publicans at Chicago has been made to look like the proverbial plugged thir ty cents by the Democrats with their hour and twenty-seven minutes dem onstration for Bryan. It's safe to say that if the Republicans had cheered Roosevelt for a whole week the Dem ocrats would have gone them a few days better with their whoops for Bry an. For it there Is one thing at which the Democrats excel It is in yelling. Members of the Commercial club and the promoters of the Topeka-South-western railway need not worry over the fact that there are persons in the etty and in the club who are throwing "cold water" on the project. It's safe t say that never was an undertaking of this sort begun in any community In the country that waa not given Its full supply of this same sort of "cold water." All that some men seem to live for Is to do what they can to ob struct each and every proposition that will be of immeasurable benefit to the localities where they reside and make tbeir living. The thing to do is to dis regard these individuals as though they never existed. WILLIAM JENNINGS BRYAN. William Jennings Bryan, of Nebraska, has been nominated again by the Dem ocrats as their candidate for the presi dency. This gives to him the unique distinction of having been thrice named for the highest office in the land by one of the two prominent political parties in It. Only one other man, the late Grover Cleveland, was ever so sig nally honored. But Mr. Bryan's case in this respect and Mr. Cleveland's are not analogous. Mr. Cleveland had been a winning candidate as well as a de feated one when his third nomination came to him. Mr. Bryan has been nominated for the third time after he has enjoyed the peculiar distinction of having been defeated on both the other occasions that nominations were given to him. And this third nomination of Mr. Bryan's Is sufficient testimony that the Democrats of the country believe him to be. beyond peradventure. the strongest man in their party for presi dential preferment at this time and a man on whom every faction of the party can now practically nnlte and support at the polls. There can be no doubt that this 13 so. Mr. Bryan is a stronger man po litically today than he was at either of the other times he ran for the presi dency. He is a larger man in every particular than he ever was before. With maturer years, through extensive travel to the four corners of the earth, because of the wonderful familiarity he has gained with the people of his own country on account of his endless travels at home on lecture and speech making tours, he has broadened in viewpoint, as would naturally be ex pected under the circumstances, of any man, especially one of Mr. Bryan's in tellectual attainments, until he has de veloped into a man of broad propor tions a man whom many besides the delegates to the Denver convention be lieve is an ideal candidate for the presidential office. Because Mr. Bryan has called free silver, the bugaboo of his first cam paign, a dead issue; because he does not consider the time ripe for the agi tation of the question of the govern ment ownership of railroads which he has gone on record as believing in; because he has forsaken or is not bringing to the front a few other pol icies that the conservative elements in the country were wont to look upon as vagaries; and because he has modi fied his views on other matters of pub lic moment, he Is being called by many a "New Bryan." As such he is being extended support and endorse ment from sources he never had much reason to suspect would ever be favor able to him. "T But to those who know the man in timately be is not much of a changed man, with the exception of his expan sion in thought and vision. His car dinal beliefs on the essential principles of the government of a republic of the years when he first attained prom inence are as strong in him today as they ever were. It is not so much that he is a "New Bryan" as it Is that the rank and file of the people of the coun- J try have come around, long since, to his way of thinking on many things. As a matter of fact Theodore Roosevelt has been properly accused of taking up and forcing to adoption many of the policies that have always been as sociated with Mr. Bryan, and Mr. Roosevelt has been advocating many more of Bryan's policies which he has been unable to have his Republican colleagues endorse. A most potent example of this changed condition of the people's thoughts is found in the fact that the very men who most strongly opposed his theory of the free and unlimited coinage of silver for the purpose of increasing the volume of the country's currency the making of money out of a metal that has some real Intrinsic value have given their support to the currency legislation enacted by the re cent Republican congress which pro vides for the expansion of the currency In times of emergency by the issuance of paper money guaranteed by such stocks and bonds as any acting secre tary of the treasury may approve. Other examples along the same line might be cited to prove that the Demo cratic presidential nominee is not so much a "New Bryan" as that the peo ple have accepted with time as a mat ter of course many of the things he has advocated and on which he has no longer any need to harp or to keep din ning into the people's ears. So while his present candidacy on a remarkably conservative platform, that is, con servative to come from a Democratic convention, is something decidedly new in politics, it is not so much so because of a change In the beliefs of Mr. Bryan as it Is in a change of the thoughts of the people and the condi tions because of these changes on the people's part that confront Bryan and the Democrats at the threshold of this campaign. Mr. Bryan Is new in being a larger, a broader minded man than ever be fore and as such he will receive sup port this time from people he probably never dreamed of having on his side. He enters the great contest in a most sanguine mood, with an almost solid party of optimistic supporters behind him. If he is successful there will be a general feeling that the destinies of the country during the next four years are not In unsafe hands. If he is de feated he ought to have the satisfac tion of knowing that his forceful ad vocation of certain policies during the past dozen years has resulted in the accomplishment of much good for the people of the United States even if their promulgation came from other sources. And so Mr. Bryan will occupy an Illuminating page in the political history of this country even though he goes down In It as the thrice defeated presidential candidate. But there are many people besides himself who hon estly believe that this time Mr. Bryan will be successful. This Is a statement of existing facts, not an opinion. The national political contest is now on in earnest and It will be a battle royal. SIR THOMAS AGAIN. Sir Thomas, the famous tea mer chant, and also noted for his desire to "lift" the America cup, has decided to challenge for it again. He offers to build a yacht of such size as the New Tork Yacht club shall consider suit able for the race, to be built under the present universal rules of the club. He hopes that his American friends will see their way clear to meet his wishes In the matter. The New York Yacht club has not yet decided to ac cept the challenge under the terms suggested by Sir Thomas. The propo sition appears to be a fair one. It proves that Upton is a good deal of a sportsman, and that his yearning for the America cup has only been stimu lated by the defeats he has borne. If his proposition is accepted it Is his plan to build two yachts, and bring over the one that proves to be the better boat The New York Yacht club has surrounded the famous cup with so many restrictions that it would seem almost impossible for any one to carry off the prize. If anybody Is ever to accomplish the task the per sistency and liberality of Upton would seem to mark him as- the one most entitled to the honor. DANGEROUS SPORT. One night recently as a balloon was flying over Battleboro, Vermont, a pair of hoodlums or idiots took shots at It with their rifles. Both balls penetrat ed It. But fortunately it was not dis abled nor was either of the occupants injured. It Is not known if they took It for some strange fowl or were only a couple of reckless fools. Two men have been arrested charged with the crime of "shooting with intent to kill." and if convicted It Is reasonable to suppose that they will have to serve a term in the penitentiary. That will be light punishment for Buch an offense but if they get something like what they deserve it may at least serve as a warning to others of their kind that taking snapshots at balloons is not a safe proceeding, either for themselves or the aeronauts. With all the improvements, inven tions and discoveries of recent years In the art of aerial navigation the fact remains that ballooning in any form Is a dangerous business or pastime at best. Accounts are constantly appear ing of accidents and fearful catastro phes resulting from attempts to con quer the "viewless fields of air," even when the attempt Is made by the most experienced experts, and it Is Impossi ble to deny that there is always dan ger from both natural and construc tive cases. The most skilfully built airship that can be made by man may have some fault? or "some weak"place that will not become apparent until it gives way at a critical time and brings death to the adventurer. And then again, although the machine itself may be perfect in construction and man agement there are always atmospheric conditions to fear, and sometimes these bring disaster to those who venture above the solid earth. All these dangers and possibilities are to be expected by those who at tempt to navigate the air, and any properly Informed person who ascends In any kind of a flying machine does so with full knowledge that there can be no such thing as absolute assur ance of safety in connection with such diversion or experiments. If they have paid any heed to records and reports they must understand that trying to play the part of a bird has its unpleas ant features. Now, If in addition to all these known and apprehended dangers the balloon Is to become the target for idiots or hoodlums to try their marksmanship on, the dangers of air travel will be vastly magnified and the risks Immed iately increased. Some of the modern rifles carry a long way, and one of the bullets might strike an occupant of a balloon, or might make a rent in the gas bag that would cause It to lose its buoyancy and return to earth in a greater hurry than would be safe or pleasant for the navigators. These Battleboro men may have thought it good fun to take a crack at a balloon but the courts should teach them that it is a kind of sport that will be ex ceedingly unpleasant for those who In dulge in it, and will also put other alleged sportsmen on notice that they had better go out after other game. JOURNAL ENTRIES An honored name is particularly desirable if it's a bank that honors it. After a man is married he soon gets over the illusion that a woman's "no" means "yes." Because a girl is splrituelle that doesn't necessarily mean that her mother is a medium. If a man gets hit with a police man's club or a sandbag he does not need to be an astronomer to see new stars. e It's evident that the admonition to love your neighbors waa pronounced before the days of the lawn mower and the phonograph. Here is a chicken story and the Atch ison Olobe says that it is true: April 25, 1907, Mrs. John Collet had a hatch of six Golden Wyandotte chickens, a rooster and five hens. The hens began laying December 17, of the same year. Since then, an accurate record has been kept, which shows that up to yester day, the five hens had laid 636 eggs. Part of the time, only three hens were laying, as two of the hens have 13 chickens each. During last month. three of the hens laid 66 eggs, or 22 each. Mrs. Collet tried the Golden Wy andotte chickens because all her neigh bors had Plymouth Rocks, and she wanted something, different KANSAS COMMENT DEATH OP A GREAT JOURNALIST. In the passing of Murat Halstead, whose death day's Eagle, the United States has lost uue oi me last of its great wartime writers. Forty odd years ago his name was rami liar in every household In the land for his brilliant and vigorous ar ticles on the civil war. In those days mof1 -han now., the war correspondent had influence upon the people for whom he wrote, and when Halstead said that warn or Sherman would do so and so, c0!i?try had faith In them, i .Ha tead' "nong the older peo- ways te associated with Cin cinnati. although h KAAn ii.n tilled with his profession there for sev eral years, it was the stage of his activities while he was In the full flush "Htortal fame and the people or the middle states were his audiences. He entertained them well and made an impress upon them that lived long after he went away to another stage and another theater where he was not known so well. Several years ago 15 ne went to Brooklyn, New C0f ,w,?ere he edited the Union ably but with less popular success than he had with the Cincinnati Commercial Gazette to which he Joined himself years ago. Since retiring f.nm v. tt- ion he has been doing odd Jobs In the mwMrare, among his later works be mg a life of William Xfoiriniov m. ography of Admiral Dewey and a book u wie vraiveston flood. Eight years ago then over 70 years or age, he waa eief-tri h Y-n..K licans to conduct a Joint newspaper u.ovomiuii witn Willis Abbott, who acted for the Democrats, and even at that advanced age he showed a mental vigor and resourcefulness that revived the admiration of his old friends.

The pressing need of the moment Is not government structures, but a navy that will be strong enough to defend public and private property. The expenditure of millions for embassy offices Is not warranted by any immediate necessity, for these are merely decorative, while tne navy is an absolute essential. If In 1814 we had owned a sea force adequate for home defense the British would never have attempted to burn Washington- or to inflict such a punishment on our country. The situation has of course improved, but even now our maritime power is se riously handicapped. In 1814 the navy was too small for the protection of one coast; today it is not big enough to defend the two seaboards, equally entitled to national guardianship. What, for example. Is the lesson of the year? In order to safeguard the Pacific States and possessions the At lantic coast is left defenseless by the transfer of the armored fleet. This Indeed la robbing Peter to pay Paul. If, however. Americans cannot be happy until they amass a collection of public buildings which will gratify their pride at the expense of the gen eral pocket, let them as a sensible peo ple first assure the protection of this property by authorizing a navy es sential to its protection.- In other words, first build a powerful navy as a foundation and then the buildings will be safe. In his California address Rear Ad miral Evans asserted our need of few er statesmen and more battleships. We must all remember that for sev eral months American newspapers and American and Japanese diploma tists were negotiating a question that really concerned us alone. Every day the shadow of war deepened and grew plainer on the wall. A crisis threaten ed. Then, "fit for a fight or a frolic." point device and Bristol fashion, the American battleship fleet loomed large in the Pacific. The situation shifted as a scene of the theater; the tension relaxed, the shadows paled, grew faint and fainter, disappeared. The crisis went whistling down the wind, and now everything is smooth. New York Herald. SOCIAL ORDER AT CAPITAL. The formation at Washington of the Congressional club, an organization of congressmen's wives, with the avowed object of "mitigating the social order" at the capital, may be looked upon as a practical protest against the tendency' to European and aristocratic and ut terly un-American excluslveness which has been Increasingly aggressive dur ing the past half dozen years, and which must be rebuked and put down If this country is to continue a repub lic. There is nothing suggestive of politics in the constitution of the club. That document sets forth the object of the organization as purely social, aiming "to promote acquaintanceship among Its members, to facilitate their social intercourse and to provide a place of meeting which may help to secure for them the advantages of life In the national capital." Surely there was need for getting together like this if the advantages of life in the national capital were held beyond the reach of wives and daugh ters of the members of the popular branch of the national legislature. In the time of Lincoln, in the time of Hayes, in the time of McKlnley public receptions at the White House were events of regular occurrence, and social distinctions based on wealth or other social accidents were frowned upon In high official circles. The old spirit of equality has been missed of late. A year or more ago the wife of the pres ident adopted rules of precedure at ta ble which savored so strongly of the usages of royalty as to provoke a scan dal. So far as the Washington corre spondents have kept the public inform ed, the spirit in which these rules were conceived remains unrelaxed, and now comes the Congressional club to "miti gate the social order at the national capital."

A bad thing about people having a lot of money is how sorry they are it Isn't more. A woman has to brag about her family if it's only how they have al ways been respectable. A man's excuse for being Irritable at home is that if he wasn't all the rest of the family would be. What a woman likes about riding in somebody else's automobile is hoping the people It tries to run over will think It's her own. HE'S A REAL HERO. We're looking up to Charlie Jones.

Faithful Horse Gets a Pension. Sitting In Judgment on one of the most faithful of city employes, the sink ing fund commission, after mature de liberation, yesterday decided that Dan, who for nearly 20 years has served the city night and day, is entitled to a pension and a home for the rest of his Ufa. Dan is an ambulance horse, which for 19 years has pulled one of the many ambulances of Bellevue hospital. In fire and death and all sorts of danger he has been ready to perform his offi cial duties, and now, being 24 years old, he has grown too old and the depart ment is anxious to pension him. For years Dan has been the princi pal actor In newspaper stories about his bravery, and several times by his horse sense he has done the right thing at the right time. Under the red tape laws which bind the city a horse owned by Bellevue hospital cannot be given away. Lovers of horses In Rhode Island who wanted to provide a resting place for Dan In that state had made application tor nim. xsax ne could not be given away until various routine arrangements had been agreed to. It was discovered by the city a legal experts that Dan would have to be transferred to the sinking fund, and then either to the fire, police, or street cleaning departments, which, in turn, would transfer him to the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, and it, agreeing to the transfer, could give him to the Rhode Island men. Such a transfer was made yesterdav. the street cleaning department being the Intermediary. Commissioner Cro- well agreed to the remainder of the routine and promised that JJan should find a home where he can munch grass snd have everything but exciting am bulance life for the rest of his days.

By Clarissa Mackle.) "Your Aunt Susan was a remark able woman. Miss Molly," said the lawyer, looking keenly at the black gowned young woman before him. "and we must therefore not be sur prised that she should have made a remarkable will." He tapped a fold ed document that lay on the table. "I am quite sure Aunt Susan has made wise disposition of her prop erty; I only wish she had been spared longer to enjoy it," said Molly Fanch er, her pretty eyes red from weeping. "As you are the only relative Miss Wood had, and as your name Is the only one mentioned in her will, I may as well proceed to make you acquaint ed with its contents; ahem!" The lawyer unfolded the document and held It close to his spectacled eyes as he read slowly and impressively: "I give and bequeath all the property of which I may die pos sessed, as per items below, to my be loved niece, Mary Wood Fancher on condition that she does not become the wife of Ralph Newcomb. If the "Stop, please," said Molly quietly; she had arisen and now stood with pale face and flashing eyes beside him. "You need not finish reading the will, Mr. Jones; the conditions are pre posterous. I can hardly believe that my dear Aunt Susan could have asked such a thing of me. She knew of my engagement to Mr. Newcomb and sanctioned it; she welcomed him into the family as a son and Sobs choked her utterance and she pressed a handkerchief to her trembling lips. "Pray, compose yourself. Miss Mol ly," said the perturbed lawyer; "as I said before, your Aunt Susan was a remarkable woman, and "The will cannot Interest me now." said Miss Fancher, gravely; "I intend to marry Mr. Newcomb at the ap pointed time and you may follow out the terms of the will whatever they are. How soon will It be necessary for me to vacate the house?" "Not under six months, as a gener ous income is provided for that per iod. In case you refuse to comply with the conditions of the will, Miss Wood has left a sealed document in my hands which definitely disposes of the estate." Molly bowed soberly. "I think my aunt must have concealed some pre judice against Mr. Newcomb; I hope I am sorry her voice faltered again. "You are sure you are not making a mistake. Miss Moily pardon me but It Is a large estate about a mil lion?" "I don't care if it Is ten millions," retorted Molly, Indignation drying her tears; "I would not barter my love for any amount." She blushed warmly as she met the lawyer's honest admiring glance, and drew down her black veil. "Good afternoon, Mr. Jones, I am quite sure you will execute my aunt's last wishes In the same conscientious manner that you have always handled her Interests." A moment later she had passed from the building and en tered her waiting carriage. When she entered the sober, old fashioned mansion that had been the home of Susan Wood for half a cen tury, and which had been her own birthplace, Molly Fancher's over strained nerves gave way for the first time since the lingering illness of Miss Wood which had resulted In her death a week before. In- eplte of the old lawyer's repeat ed requests that she should hear the terms of her aunt's will, the grief- stricken girl had refused admittance to Mr. Jones until this morning, when she had roused herself from her sor row and made ready to take upon her self the responsibilities that she had been taught to believe would be hers after Miss Wood's death. The reading of the will was a shock to her; the loss of the inheritance was as nothing compared to the knowledge that her aunt had secretly cherished a dislike, if not a distrust, of Ralph Newcomb, Molly's accepted lover. It was this thought that rankled in the girl's mind all that long afternon while she awaited his coming In the evening. "Dear heart." he cried cheerily as he entered the drawing room, "if you shut yourself up in this gloomy house much longer, without companionship save that of Mrs. Rogers why, I shall He paused as he turned her face to the soft light of the lamps. "Something unusual has happened, Molly, tell me what it is." She smiled bravely at him and still ed her trembling lips. "I have been to hear Aunt Susan's will read," she said slowly. "Well?" Molly found herself listen ing for some note of anxiety or even unusual interest in his tone as he ask ed the question that he had always ac corded when riches was a topic Of conversation, and she sighed relieved- iy. "She leaves everything to me condi tionally." And the conditions "That I d not marry you!" The softly uttered words startled him strangely. His arma loosened their hold upon her and dropped to his sides. "You car.nM mean it hc-re must be some mistake, Molly." he said gravely; "Miss Wood mrely did rot distrust 'he quality of my love for you; It is very strange." "I can scarcely believe It of Aunt Susan; but, Italph, dear, I am not afraid of poverty, ana you are poor and I will be noor with you and we Will live in that delightful studio building!" JvewcoraD gatnereo ner into nis arms tenderly. "You have made your de cision t" he asked. "Yes!" "Do you know what you re giving upr "I am only sorry that T am bringing you nothing but love, dear," he eaid earnestly. We can got along on mat. ne said grimly, "with a few little aided frills .'n the way or rat at ana arm mat i may te able to worry out of the editois; but it Isn't fair to you. darling to leave all this." He looked about the richly fur nished room and then back into her eyes. "You cannot believe that I really love you. Ralph," she murmured protestingly. "I do now, sweetheart," he said kissing her lips reverently, and then, a few mo ments later, he added: "I shall prove my trust In your love, Molly will you marry me at once this week?" "Yes, Ralph, sne said. e e e e It was perhaps six month later that Lewyer Jones mounted the last Ion steep flight or stairs mat iea to tne Eyrie, as Ralnh Newcomb called his studio anart- ment. He looked about the bare, uncom promising hall that coull not be dig nified by the name of corridor, and then rapped smartly on the door in front of him. Molly opened the door tha same Molly who had never lifted a dainty finger in household matters; her brown hair was in rweet confusion about her pink cheeks and the sleeves of her linen fock were gushed above her elbows. A. great ging om apron enveloped her slim figure. She welcomed him with all her eld charm of manner and ushered him into a long, many-gabled room, where Ralph Newcomb sat pale and "weary-eyed be- lore a glowing- lire. "My husband has been verv 111," afd Molly seriously as the men hook hand cordially. "He has been -working too hard and but he la so muh better now: it has been a moat trying siege for him." Her red Hps closed firmly and the eld lawyer guessed at the unuttered story that lay behind those lips. A glimpse ot the bare studio, the remains of a very simple meal, a portfolio of drawings on a chair, over tke back of which was thrown Molly's coat and hat it all spoke of poverty, and the sort of poverty that perhaps is hardest to bear. The thought of lovely Molly Fancher trudging the streets In and out of edi torial offices -with a portfolio of draw ings and never losing her bright, brave smile of hope and sweet content stirred the lawyer strangely. "I have come to inform you of the final disposition of your late aunt's for tune," he said rather gruffly, adjusting his eyeglasses and taking an envelope from hia pocket. "I don't believe we are interested tn that." remarked Ralph smilingly. "MIM Susan gave us our knockout blow several months ago you certainly haven't come to gloat over us. Mr. Jones? Eh. Molly?" She laughed softly. "We are awfully poor, but we are likewise awfully happy. Mr. Jones; poor Aunt Susan didn't know" "My dear young people." Interrupted the lawyer gravely, "Miss Wood did know in her youth she chose between love and riches and she preferred the latter, and except for her little niece she was a very lonely and unhsppy woman; she gave Miss Molly the same choice, not that she distrusted either one of you, but she did want you both to be sure of each other's love." He paused and cleared his throat as he rustled the document. "I will read: T give and bequeath my en tire estate to be equally divided between Ralph Newcomb and his wife, Molly" Fancher Newcomb" "Poor Aunt Susan I misjudged her so," cried Molly contritely when they had re covered from their amazement; "but I love to think that she had such fsith In us both, after all! We have been very happy, Ralph, dear, even If we have been poor." She moved to her husband's side and slipped her hand In hia "We will never be any happier. ke said solemnly. Mr. Jonesipaused when he reached the lower entrance of the studio building and leisurely lighted a cigar. "Very wise for a woman Miss Wood very wise. In. deed." he said thoughtfully.

Name of Minnesota Governor Present ed to the Convention. Convention Hall. Denver, July 10. Congressman W. S. Hammond In nominating Governor Johnson for president at the national Democratic convention spoke in part as follows: The great North Star state, midway between the two oceans and at the head of the great valley of the Missis sippi, comes here with a message to deliver and a record to disclose. She has a son whom she loves and haa signally honored and she can not bet ter aid In the great work that lies before us than in offering to. us as 'laader that honored citizen of the state. Thousands upon thousands of the men and women of this country were born in other lands and under other flags. The opportunities to be found in this land, the broad principles upon which our form of government rests, the freedom of action and the security of life and property here attracted them so Irresistibly that they left the homes of their fathers and came to live with us. to pray for the nation's welfare when there Is peace and to fight for the nation's honor when there is war. They became Americans. It ts of the son of Swedish immigrants that I speak. Deprived at an early age of the fath er's guiding hand, the mother and her little ones were obliged to -make, their way alone. Out of the depths of pov erty have come some of the noblest souls the world has known. The hard ships, the numerous trials, the weary struggle for the day's nourishment, rai ment and shelter.- leave an impress upon the character of him in whose life they come that can never be re moved. The story of the poor and the Interests of the common people appeal to him as they-; cannot appeal to one who- has not -experienced the sorrows, the burden and the anxiety of penury and want. .The groes. the sel fish, the callous and the Indifferent are worn away, by the grinding wheels of poverty, leaving but the refined., the gentle and tendr nature, sensitive to the calls of distressed and unhappy humanity. In this uprising of the peo ple let our leader be a man of the people, one who has risen from the depths and is by birth, by training and by nature truly a son of toll. Four years ago the party summoned from his modest office the publisher of a weekly paper and around him rallied the remnants of the Democratic party that had so often struggled in vain against the crushing force' of Republi can majorities: Reunited, inspired with the hope of victory, they followed this man and supported him. Not to honor hiro, not to gratify his ambitions, but to rouse a state from drowsy inaction to energetic life. In that year President Roosevelt carried the state by a plur ality greater than ISO. 000 but the Dem ocratic governor was elected. Two years ago be was a candidate for re-election. His successful efforts in securing a reduction of transporta tion charges, his successful campaign against timber trespassers who had long been undisturbed, his insurance reforms, his tireless struggles for faith ful and efficient service In eery de partment of the state government, and his frank and fearless manner of deal ing with all questions and matters that came before him made him the trusted tribune of the common people, of the state. "One good turn deserves anoth er" was the campaign cry and when the ballots were counted it was found that he had been re-elected by a plurality greater than 70,000, the great est ever given to a gubernatorial can didate In the state. Today this man, in the prime Of life, courteous. kind and unpretentious, strong, resolute and virile, an orator of unusual power, who haa attained hon orable distinction by his own industry and effort, whose high character and winning personality compel the love of his friends and the respect of his po litical opponents rthis man. Innocent of the allurements of great wealth, who has not been swerved from the path of duty nor fascinated by the power given into his hands nor das led by greater honors placed before bim, never unmindful that as a public offi cer he is the servant of the people and aundonorto strl" h4 nrBt U.m Minnesota offers to the Democratic party a cmM.f! for tne presidency a man wEn ilZ Bjen' tried and found In wsS5i?i offer, you Its best beloved e'SSS f it the governor who hu twl -ti?5Way to vlory. leader Sta n ly fd pure' 8,ron nd brave" able .lncre',. true 'mocrat. faithful to the teachings of the fathers, un derstanding the needs of the day. de voted to the good and the right.
