Uf>To!d by Committee He Is Party's Choice for President

IjSvES HIS IDEAS ON ISSUES

•' Vi#\

Declares Coming Campaign li Unuaual One and That Candidates Mutt

Face Awakened Nation on [ Many important Priblems.

Sea Girt, N. J., Aug. 7.—Woodrow Wilson was today officially notified that he had been nominated by the Democratic party as their candidate

-for president. The Bpeech of notifica­tion was delivered by Ollie James, chairman of the notification commit­tee.

In reply Governor Wilson, after thanking the committee, commented on the unusual nature of the coming campaign in which the candidates must address an awakened nation, Im­patient of partisan make-believe and never more susceptible to unselfish ap­peals or to the high arguments of sincere Justice. The forces of the na­tion, he said, are asserting themselves against every form of special privi­lege and private control, and are seek, 1ng bigger things than they have ever heretofore achieved.

Two Great Things to Do. "How do we expect to handle each

of the great matters that must be taken up by the next congress and the jiext administration?" said Mr. Wil­son, and he answered his own query as follows:

What Is there to do? It is hard to .sum the great task up, but apparently this is the sum of the matter: There sire two great things to do. One Is to set up the rule of justice and of Tight in such matters as the tariff, the regulation of the trusts and the prevention of monopoly, the adapta­tion of our banking and currency laws to the varied UBCS to which our peo­ple must put them, the treatment of those who do the daily labor in our factories and mines throughout all our great industrial and commercial un­dertakings, and the political life of the people of the Philippines, for 'whom we hold governmental power In trust, for their service, not our own. The other, the additional duty is the great task of protecting our people and our resources and of keeping open to the whole people the doors of opoprtunity through which they must, .generation by generation, pass if they are to make conquest of their fortunes in health, in freedom, in peace, and in contentment. In the performance of this second great duty we are face to face with questions of conservation and of development, queBtlonB of for­ests and water powers and mines and water ways, of the building of an ade-tjaate^m erch ant-xaarlire, and the- open­ing of every highway and facility and the setting up of every safeguard needed by a great industrious, expand­ing nation.

These are all great matters upon which everybody should be heard,

>JVe have got into trouble in recent Shears chiefly because these large things, which ought to have been handled by taking counsel with as large a number of persons as possible, because they touched every Interest and the life of every class and region, have in fact been too often handled In private conference. Our difficulty is not that wicked and designing men nave plotted against us, but that our common affairs have been determined ipon too narrow a view, and by too

private an initiative. Our task now rs to effect a great readjustment and set the forces of the whole people once more into play. We need no revolution; we need no excited change; we need only a new point of view tuad a Dew method and spirit of counsel.

We are servants of the people, the whole people. The nation has been unnecessarily, unreasonably at war -wHhin itself. Interest has clashed with Interest when there were com­mon principles of right and of fair dealing which might and should have bound them sit together, not as rivals, but as partners. As the servants of all, we are bound to undertake the great duty of accommodation and ad­justment.

Revision of the Tariff. Coming to the tariff question, the

governor said the schedules "have been made op for the purpose of keep­ing as large a number as possible of the rich and influential manufacturers •of the country fn a good humor with the Republican party, which desired their constant Anancfal support The tariff has become a system of favors, -which the phraseology of the schedule wa* -often deliberately contrived to conee*!.''

Reasserting the Democratic convtc-tkjf» 4tat*the only legitimate object of tadff duties is to raise revenue for the' suppart of the government he continued: ,., « ; >

Tharf should be am'Immediate revl-•Ion,- I s f Jt, should be downward, un­hesitatingly and steadily downward. It *hould begin with the schedule* which cay* oStfn moat obviously used,to kill competltloii iusd to raise' pftoes'ln the United States, arbitrarily and without

.. . . , tgWBjri*.' *<* special advantage to limited groups of benefl-^Msrj«A_«L.tor _tttbsjd|i«d control of 'Anj kind In the markets or the enter­

prises of the country; until special favors of every sort have been abso­lutely withdrawn and every part of oar laws of taxation shall have been trans­formed from a system of government­al patronage Into a system of Just and reasonable charges which shall fall where they will create the least bur­den. When we shall have done that, we can fix questions of revenue and of business adjustment in a, new spirit and with clear minds. We shall then be partners with all the business men of the country, and a day of freer, more stable prosperity shall have dawned.

Control of the Trusts. The governor spoke of how recent

investigations have revealed the con­nection between the tariff and the movement of prices, and this brought him to the subject of trusts, concern­ing which he said in part:

I am not one of those who think that competition can be established by law against the drift of a world­wide economic tendency; neither am 1 one of those who believe that busi­ness done upon a great scale by a single organization—call it corpora­tion, or what you will—is necessarily dangerous to the liberties, even the economic liberties, of a great people like our -own, full of intelligence and of indomitable energy. I am not afraid of anything that is normal. 1 dare say we shall never return to the old order of individual competition, and that the organization of business upon a great Bcale of co-operation is, up to a certain point, itself normal and inevitable.

Power in the hands of great busi­ness men does not make me apprehen­sive, unless it springs out of advan­tages which they have not created for themselves. Big business is not dan­gerous because it is big, but because its bigness is an unwholesome infla­tion created by privileges and exemp­tions which it ought not to enjoy. While competition cannot be created by statutory enactment, it can In large measure be revived by changing the laws and forbidding the practices that killed It, and by enacting laws that will give it heart and occasion again. We can arrest and prevent monopoly. It has assumed new shapes and adopt-ed new processes in our time, but these are now being disclosed and can be dealt with.

Concentration of Credit. But the problem and the difficulty

are much greater than that. There are not merely great trusts and com* blnations which are to be controlled and deprived of their power to create monopolies and destroy rivals; there is something bigger still than they are and more subtle, more evasive, more difficult to deal with. , There are vast confederacies (as I may perhaps call them for the sake of convenience) of banks, railways, express compa­nies, insurance companies, manufac­turing corporations, mining corpora­tions, power and development com­panies and all the rest of the circle, bound together by the fact that the ownership of their stock and the members of their boards of directors are controlled and determined by com paratVvety-aoiall and- closely- Inter-1 mugt_J?ulld and buy ships In .competl related groups of persons who, by their Informal confederacy, may con­trol, if they please and when they will, both credit and enterprise.

There is nothing illegal about these confederacies, so far as I can per­ceive. They have come about very naturally, generally without plan or deliberation, rather because there was so much money to be invested and it was In the hands, at great financial centers, of men acquainted with one another and Intimately as­sociated in business, than because anyone had conceived and was carry­ing out a plan of general control; but they are none the less potent a force in our economic and financial system on that account. They are part of our problem. Their very ex­istence gives rise to the suspicion of a "money trust," a concentration of the control of credit which may at any time become infinitely dangerous to free enterprise. If such a concentra­tion and control does not actually ex­ist, It is evident that it can easily be set up and used at will. Laws must be devised which will prevent this, if laws can be worked out by fair and free counsel that will accomplish that result without destroying or serious* ly embarrassing any sound or legiti­mate business undertaking or neces­sary and wholesome arrangement

Question of Conservation. Of conservation and allied matters

Governor Wilson said: I do not know any greater question

than that of conservation. We have been a spendthrift nation and must now husband what we have left We must do mora than that We must develop, as well as preserve, our wa­ter powers and must add great wa­terways to the transportation facili­ties of the nation, to supplement the railways within our borders as well as upon the Isthmus* We must revive our merchant marine, too, and fill the seas again with our own fleets. We must add to our present poetoSce service a parcels post as complete as that of any other nation. We most look to the health of our people upon every hand, as well as hearten them with Justice and opportunity.

TheW are maay sfdee tb these great matters. Conservation Is easy to gen* erallxe about but hard to particular­ise about wisely. Reservation la not the whole conservation. Development of great states must not be stayed In­definitely to await a policy by which out forests and water powers can pruaemly be mad* use- of. Use and development must gp hand in hand. The policy we adopt must be progres­sive, not negative, merely, as if we did not know what to do.

With regard to the development of greater and more numerous water­ways and the building*op of a mer*

chant Jaartne. we most follow great obstructive lines and not fall back ttppn the cheap device of bounties and subsidies. In the case of the Missis­sippi river, tttat great central artery of. our trade, It is plain that the fed­eral government must build and main­tain the levees and keep the great waters in harnes tor the general use. It is plain, too, that vast sums o4j money must be spent to develop new j waterways where trade will be moat served and transportation most read­ily cheapened by them. Such expen­ditures are no largess on the part of the government; they are national In­vestments.

Merchant Marine. The question of a merchant marine

turns back to the tariff again,, to which all roads seem to lead, and to our registry laws, which, if coupled with the tariff, might almost be sup­posed to have been Intended to take the American flag off the seas. Bounties are not necessary, if you will but undo some of the things that have been done. Without a great merchant marine we cannot take our rightful place in the commerce of the world. Merchants who must depend upon the carriers of rival mercantile nations to carry their goods to market are at a disadvantage in international trade too manifest to need to be point­ed out; and our merchants will not long suffer themselves—ought not to suffer themselves—to be placed at such a disadvantage. Our industries have expanded to such a point that they will burst their jackets, if they cannot find a free outlet to the mar­kets of the world; and they cannot find such an outlet unless they be giv­en ships of their own to carry their goods—ships that will go the routes they want them to go—and perfer the interests of America in their sailing orders and their equipment. Our do­mestic markets no longer suffice. We need foreign markets. That Is anoth­er force that is going to break the tariff down. The tariff was once a bulwark; now it is a dam. For trade Is reciprocal; we cannot sell unless we also buy.

The very fact that we have at last taken the Panama canal seriously in band and are vigorously pushing It to­wards completion is eloquent of our re-awakened interest in International trade. We are not building the canal and pouring out million upon million of money upon its construction merely to establish a water connection be­tween the two coasts of the continent, important and desirable as that may be, particularly from the point, of view of naval defense. It Is meant to be a great International highway. It would be a little ridiculous If we should build it and then have no ships to send through it. There have been years when not a single ton of freight passed through the great Suez canal in an American bottom, so empty are the seas of our ships and seamen. We must mean to put an end to that kind of thing or we would not be cut­ting a new canal at our very doors merely for the use of our men-of-war. We shall not manage the revival by the mere paltry device of tolls. We

tion with the world. We can do It if we will but give ourselves leave.

There Is another duty which the Democratic party has shown itself great enough and close enough to the people to perceive, the duty of govern­ment to share in promoting agricul­tural, Industrial, vocational education in every way possible within its con­stitutional powers. No other platform has given this Intimate vision of a party's duty.

Free to Serve the People, In concluding the governor said: A presidential campaign may easily

degenerate into a mere personal con­test and so lose its real dignity and significance. There is no indispensable man. The government will not col­lapse and go to pieces if any one of the gentlemen who are seeking to be entrusted with Its guidance should be left at home. But men are instru­ments. We are as important as the cause we represent, and In order to be important must really represent a cause. What is our cause? The peo­ple's cause? That is easy to say, but what does it mean? The common as against any particular interest what­ever? Yes, but tht too, needs trans­lation into acts and policies. We rep­resent the desire to set up an uhen-tangled government, a government that cannot be used for private pur­poses, either in the field of business or in the field of politics; a government that will not tolerate the use of the organization of a great party to serve the personal alms and ambitions of any individual, and that will not per­mit legisltlon to be employed to fur­ther any private interest. It is a great conception, but I am free to serve it, as you also are. I could not have accepted a nomination which left me bound to any man or any group of men. No man can be just who Is not free; and no man who has to show favors ought to undertake the solemn responsibility of government In any rank or post whatever, least of ail in the supreme post of president of the United flutes.

To be free It is not necessarily to be wise. But wisdom comes with counsel, with the frank and free con­ference of untrammeled men united in the .common Interest Should ! be entrusted with the great office of president I would leek counsel wher­ever it could be had upon free terms; I know the temper of the great con­vention which nominated me; t know the temper of the country that lay back of that convention and spoke through it. I heed with deep thank­fulness the message you bring' me from it. I feel that t am surrounded | by men whose principles and ambft> tlons are those of true servants of the people. I thank God, and will take 1 courage.

THEODORE 'CONFESSION Of FArTH 9!

COLONEL ANNOUNCES LONG LIST OF RADICAL PLANKS FOR NEW PROGRESSIVE PARTY.

Leader of New Movement in Record Speech Calls for Short Ballot, Short Hours- Age Pensions, Woman's

Suffrage and Other Reforms.

Theodore Roosevelt made his "confession of faith" to the National Pro­gressive convention in Chicago Tuesday.

The former president struck out boldly into new ground, advocating measures which he said frankly would be denounced as either socialism or anarchy. The delegates listened to his speech with the understanding that they must either adopt a platform substantially in consonance with his ^iews or look elsewhere for a nominee for the presidency.

The convention was called to order for Tuesday's session at 12:30, the delegates having been slow to arrive. Chairman Beveridge introduced Col. Roosevelt, and when cheering had ceased he Immediately began his two-hour declaration of principles.

These are the conspicuous points in the Roosevelt program: Recall of judicial decisions, as first advocated by Col. Roosevelt in tho

spring campaign, and for which he was subjected to wide criticism. Col. Roosevelt now advocates its extension to apply to federal as well as state courts. He favors the establishment of machinery to make easier of amend­ment both the national and state constitutions, especially with the view of prompt action on certain judicial decisions.

Use of the government to assist workmen to become part owners of the business in which they are employed.

The government system should be shaped so that "the public servant when he cannot conscientiously carry out the wishes of the people, shall at their desire leave his office and not misrepresent them in office."

Would Alter System of Government. Col. Roosevelt did not suggest the method by which he would bring this

about, and there was much speculation as to whether he had in mind a fundamental change In the American system of government In some quar­ters it was interpreted as a declaration in favor of extension of the recall to include legislative, executive and judicial officers of the national government, from the president down. ,

Control of the trusts through retention of the Sherman anti-trust law and establishment of an interstate industrial commission to regulate cor-porations as the interstate commerce commission regulates railroads. Cor­porations which come voluntarily under this commission and obey its orders to be immune from prosecution under the Sherman law. Those which fail to do so to he subject to prosecution, and if the prosecution is successfu , thorough dismemberment, the constituent parts not to be allowed to do busi­ness save under conditions laid down by the industrial commission. Con­ditions determining monopoly prices to be controlled where these concerns deal with the necessaries of life.

Adoption of a number of measures to secure "social and industrial jus­tice to the wage workers."

Plan for Industrial Justice. Included in the list are establishment by law immediately of minimum

wage scales for women, minimum wage commissions to fix standards of wages for all workers, old age pensions, a living wage, which Col. Roosevelt defines as an amount sufficient to provide for education, recreation, care for immature members of the family, maintenance of the family during sickness, and accumulation of reasonable saving for old age; prohibition o night labor for women and children, eight-hour shifts for workmen in industries in which men are employed 24 hours a day; national and state worklngmen s com­pensation laws, guarantee by law of one day's rest in every seven, old age insurance and insurance against sickness, invalidism and involuntary em­ployment, the cost of such insurance to be distributed among employer, em­ploye and perhaps the people at large.

Legislation to Increase popular control over governmental agencies, in­cluding a national law for presidential primaries, election of U. S. senators by direct vote, the short ballot, corrupt practices acts applying to primaries as well as elections, qualified adoption of the initiative, referendum and recall.

Woman suffrage. Strengthening of the pure food law. Establishment of a national health department. Creation of a permanent tariff commission to study the effects ot pro­

tection and the relations of the tariff to labor. Col. Roosevelt declared against blanket revisions of the tariff, saying that changes should be made schedule by schedule.

Fortification of the Panama canal. Free passage through the canal for coastwise traffic and imposition of equal tolls for all other ships of whatever nation.

Navy to be built up steadily until reduction of armaments ia made pos­sible by international agreement.

Col. Roosevelt denounced the Republican and Democratic parties as "husks, with no real soul in either,' and as "boss-ridden and privileged con­trolled." He asserted that the chief concern of the "privileged interests" was to defeat the new party and that they cared little whether they beat it with President Taft or Woodrow Wilson, regarding the difference between them as trivial.

"I hope we shall win," he said, " and I believe 1f we can wake the people to what the fight really means that we shall win.".

What He Bought A Syracuse business man living in

one of the suburbs decided to give up his spaciouB back yards to the rais­ing of currants as. a profitable side issue. So, wishing to absorb all the information he could acquire on the subject of the currant industry, he went down town one Saturday after­noon recently and returned with his arms full of books.

"Well, Teddy," inquired his enthusi­astic spouse, as he dumped the vol­umes on the table, "did you succeed in getting what you wanted?"

"Stire, l did!" fie replied, proudly pointing to the books. "I bought a whole year's edition of a standard work on current literature."—Ex­change.

After hearing both sides of the question, she decided proper pun­ishment for the combatants, and told them to remain in their seats after the others had gone home. She re­membered something she wanted . to Bay to a little boy who did not tako part in the affray, so she turned to him and said:

Jenkins eyed me "Not asleep, sir," he gently.

"But I tell you—'* "Mr. Llghtnut, sir,

punch!" He shook hie head. "II you'll excuse me for mentioning—"

"Oh!" I remarked weakly, failing back upon my pillow. "Jove, Jenkins!" And I just looked at him stupidly— fact!

"Go on," I Bald. "Tell me all!" "Yes, sir," resumed Jenkins, "as 1

was saying, you came In with—you know—er—the young fellow.-He kind­er slouched In, looking a bit sulky.

" 'I've been watching for you to get back from the dog-tight,' you says to him; 'sit down, I want to talk to you/ But the young fellow just stood square in the middle of the floor and just kinder scowled black.

"Then you sayB, pleasant-like: 'I've been talking with a friend of yours, my son, who thinks I haven't treated you quite fair.'

"'O!' says this young fellow, and seems kinder surprised. Then he got red.

" 'And so, my boy/ you went on, tightening your glass as you looked at him, *if I've been harsh I'm sorry— suppose we start all over again—what do you say? I don't want to cross you In anything if I can help It—I want to help you.'"

My abrupt ejaculation halted Jen­kins an instant, then he proceeded:

" 'I say, do you mean that?' asks young Mr. Bi—I mean, this young fel­low"—Jenkins stirred nervously— "and you says, kinder laughing: 'there's my hand on It!' and then you both shook.

I don't care!'—and you said it hearty-like. You went on: 'I haven't a word to say—In fact, I'd be only too glad to see you succeed.'"

Here I straightened with almost a screech:

"What? I said that? Oh, now, Jen­kins, you—oh, you're mistaken!"

Jenkins eyed me sorrowfully. "Your words, sir, exactly, rind then

you went on, kinder persuadlngly: 'Why, I haven't meant to stand In your way at alir*'

I groaned. "Go on!" I breathed through my

teeth. Then I straightened forward. "What did the judge call that punch— what kind?"

"Heidelberg punch, sir,"—-a sympa­thetic pause as I swept my' hand through my hair. "Yes, sir, it cer-

and you Just *hook hands again ail qver."

Jenkins stopped for breath, but I didn't say a word. S?y Jove, it all made me a bit sick, don't you know. Oh, I must have been maudlin, that's what —maudlin. I managed to wag my head to start him off again; couldn't speak, yon know!

"Yea, sir." Then you says: That's all right, now, my boy; so you run along, because I'm awfuliy busy. To­morrow we'll talk some more.'

" 'Bully!' says the chap. 'Good night, old man!' Then he turns back, kinder smiling sldewlse. 'It's sure on the level, Is its that you're going to let me have a clear road with Frances?'

*"0h, bother Prances I' you says laughing. 'Yes, yes, and when you win her, she'll be to me aa my own girl. And I know I'll have her love, too/

'"What's that?' saya the young fel­low, kinder frowning. And you says, easy like, 'Why, we'll Juiic be one hap­py famHy.' Then you chuckled i!ke you was mighty pleased and says: 'And I think she is learning to like me pretty veil already. Why, do you know what she dlJ tonight? She came tight up to me and in the sweet­est way kissed me good night.'"

"Oil!" I said, digging my fingers Into the bedclothes. "Obi"

"Tea, sir!" scid Jen^ns choklly. He went on: "This young follow jaat marches right close up to you and says, speaking kinder quiet and his eyes shining, 'You say Francos kissed you?' And yo-. sorter gave a laugh and dug him In the side and you says, 'I do believe the boy la jealous f Why, yes, you rascal, she certainly did—she kissed me!'

"'Well, it's a He!' he says back, pointing at you with his.finger. Be­cause It ain't like her.' And ho got closer.

"'Seo here,' he says, 'have you just been trying to get gay with me to­night? Huh!—well, I'm just going to box your Jaws for luckr

"'What?' you gasps—'what's thatr —and you storms up to him—'Why, you young puppy, do you know who you're talking tor you saya.

" 'Bah!' he says, and he Just go«a up and snaps his fingers is your face. You chokes kinder, and toon you Telia at him: 'Why, you young ruf­fian, I've spankod you before, and l can do it again—'

"'Yah!' ho cays, making faces at you. 'You spanked! You hit me waon I wAcn't looking. My foot slipped.'

'"Foot slipped,'you blanked fool!' you shouts at him, and then—" Jen* kins wiped his fnr*hoad—"Thon the next thing I ace, you mlxod."

you came down," the butler was Ray­ing, "but Mr. Billings was just so set on me bringing this to you, I had to."

He had entered, responding to Jen­kins; invitation, bearing in his hand a gray paper parcel.

"For me?" I questioned, as he laid it on the table, and I eyed it ominous­ly. Yet It could not be the same I had sent Billings myself—I could see that —for it was smaller, more compact, and in a different wrapper. But I was afraid to examine i t

"Ah!" I breathed with rellof. "That's better!"

I chuckled. Then suddenly I toil re­morseful.

"Whore, did 1 Mt him this time, Jen-kins—did you notieo? Was he hurt much?"

JenklnB looked down, avoiding my eyes. "Urn, not exactly, sir," be said; "in fact, it was—er—kinder the other way."

1 stared, aghaBt, "You don't mean, Jenkins—" Jenkins evidently did! His eyes ex­

pressed both pity and embarrassment. "What he did to you,"—be rolled

his glance upward, trying to shape the idea—"I believe, sir, it's what you might call"—his voice dropped—"I be­lieve it's what they do call wiping up the floor with."

I closed my eyes an instant. "Finish!" I whispered, feebly flip­

ping my hand at him. "He left then, sir, but the noise

brought Wilkes and we helped you upstairs. You wouldn't go any farther than the door of the judge's bedroom —wanted to tell him, we supposed. When we got that far, I noticed Mr. Jack Billings' door—it's right oppo­site, you remember, sir—was standing just a little open. He called out very anxiously and shrill: 'Oh, do be very careful of the pajamas! My! my! 1 hope the pajamas are not hurt!'

"And at thst, yoa just bangs in­side the judge's room and In about two minutes, he stuck bis heed out, looking kinder toweled and mad like he'd been waked from a sound sleep, and he fires a wrapped-up parcel at the door opposite and yells:

"There's one thing; I've got a daughter!'"

I looked at Jenkins' miserably. Me was right; he did nave a daughter and i wanted her. But just now, 1 wished with all heart that she wan soaebedy's—-anybody else's daughter —than that of the man who had wiv nemssjd my humiliation.

And afterwards— How had he managed to get me te

my room? And had she seen or beard me? Oh, she must have!

Well, nothing mattered now—not*-

Jenkins and myself. He continued soberly:

his rooms again, and wouldn't open the door only wide enough to stick this through. And his message"—hesitat­ingly—"he said just tell you you had better get these pajamas back where they came from just as quickly as you could—you would If you were wise, he said." . "pb!'M uttered, dazed by this new

blow, So it was her pajamas. But there was more of the message

—I could see it in WilkeB' eye. "YeB, sir," he went on as 1 gave

him a nod. "Mr. Billings called through the door-crack—and his voice was particularly shrill—screechy-ilke —very unnatural, sir—and he said: 'You tell him I say he'll find It very dangerous to keep them by him a mo­ment; tell htm my advice is to return them immediately!'"

Here the butler hesitated an instant and added: "And be said for me to try to remember three letters I was to mention—said you would under­stand."

'Three letters?" I repeated dully. "YeB, sir, three letters—I did re­

member 'em, too, because they hap­pened to be the initials of a young woman I—h'm! Q. E. C sir."

"Q. E. D.?" I said, puzzled and mis­erable. "What's Q. E. D.7" And then an idea startled me.

"Oh I say, you mean—er—P. D. Q. —eh, Wilkes?" It sounded like Jack!

But he seemed sure he didn't; in­sisted on Q. E. D. When he had with­drawn, I sat there a moment, swal­lowing hard. By Jove, when a chap has had the hardest blow of hli life, and that, too, from his best friend, It's devilish hard to come up smiling.

Presently I pulled myseU togethef, Jenkins, as he helped me dress, eyed me in a frightened way, his face kind of pale and greenish. Neither of us said a word, but I knew I had his sympathy, poor fellow—and It helped! Then, with the parcel In my hand, l marched slowly down the stairs, for­getting even some Instructions * 1 should have given Jenkins.

& e was there In the living-room— she and the frump. And when I saw her dear face and realised what dis­aster had come between us, t felt things whirling around nze like a J0II7 whst's-lts-name and dropped my hand on a chalrAnok hard,.until I could stiffen and wnile up. But, by Joye she was on!

RED, ROUGH HANDS MADE SOFT AND WHITE

For red, rough, chapped and bleed Ing hands, dry, fissured, itching, burn­ing palms, and painful finger-ends, with shapeless nails, a one-night Cuti-cura treatment works wonders. Di­rections: Soak the hands, on retir­ing, in hot water and Cutlcura Soap. Dry, anoint with Cutlcura Ointment, and wear soft bandages or old, loosa gloves during the night. These pure, sweet and gentle emollients preserve the hands, prevent redness, roughness and chapping, and impart in a single night that velvety softness and white­ness so much desired by women. For those whose occupations tend to in­jure the hands, Cutlcura Soap and Cu­tlcura Ointment are wonderful.

Cutlcura Soap and Ointment sold throughout the world. Sample of each free, with 32-p. Skin Book. Address post-card "Cuticura, Dept. L, Boston."

New Idea for Dressmakers. A New York woman has Inaugurat­

ed a new departure. She sent word to a number of dressmakers that she bad so many dresses to make, of such and such materials, and so many oth­er to be altered, and named the al­terations to be made and asked for bids. She will probably accept the lowest bid, and this seems to open up a new field in dressmaking. It will also.develop a new variety of shrewd­ness on the part of successful dress­makers—the ability to figure on bids.

Arrangement ef Poultry Run.

Is. necessary during ths very cold weather. X

Two box-seats and a small board (with strips) from the ground to* the upper part of the coop completed the) job.

The end of the nest facing the front was boarded up high, to give the hens the necessary seclusion.

When the coop was completed 1 raised the end door and laid an old newspaper on the floor, covering*it very,tfiickly with sand. On this,I placed'the roost; and the coop was ready for occupancy. To clean, it Is simply necessary to take out and threw away the newspaper, and put in a fresh one, with mors saad.

In summer,' with ons of thews coops, It would be well to open a srae door to asTord sufficient ventilation, and It would be weU to keep fewer birds in each" pen. During the winter, hi one of the "bird-cage" arrangements, we keep from- five to seven large White Rock hens, with food results.

Bearing in mind that about six hens could ordinarily be kept in each coop, any ons may ten, from the) num­ber of «hrcfcene be Intends to, keep, how the system csa be extended to

Power ef Vegetable Growth. * A tar macadam pavement stretch­

ing from the school of gunnery at Shoeburyness (Eng.) to the sea is at present in a state of violent If silent eruption. About a fortnight ago the surface became covered with what may be called "blisters," raised a lit­tle above the common level, which attracted much wondering attention.

Prom each of these, in a few days, a series of cracks appeared, extend­ing themselves In rays from a center. Finally came up a broad, soft shoot looking extremely well pleased with Itself and its work, which proved to be so-eld and well known a friend as the thistle. At this moment there are hundreds of those bold intruders show* ing defiantly through the pavement affording a most Interesting illustra­tion of the power of vegetable growth.

That was the bank where we deposited all our hurts and worries. Oh, vdiat a chair that was. . . . It was a9very wakeful chair! In the sick day of children other «bsirs could not'keep awake—it kept easily awake. That

.chair knew all the old lullabies, and all those wordless songs which moth­ers sing to their children. Songs in which all pity and compassion and sympathetic influences are combined.

The other day a steamship from Glasgow arrived at New York with a passenger list of sixty people, one-half of whom were young women engaged to be married. Thirty young men— their prospective bridegrooms—were waiting at the pier to receive them. There are those who look upon the in­cident as a blow" to native industry. American legislators have been busy protecting home products of many kinds. There are laws on the statute books forbidding the Importation of contract labor. Home-grown potatoes are protected, but there is no law guarding the home-grown girl from foreign competition by forbidding the Importation of contract brides. The marriage market In America is open to all the world. So far no voice has been raised in protest against this anomalous state of things. Perhaps It Is because young marriageable American women are unorganized and without a vote. Perhaps It is be­cause they do not fear competition.

Surely the science of chemistry has made long strides since the days of Paracelsus, when men can analyze elements at a distance of ninety-five millions of miles and undertake to pronounce upon the characteristics of a form- of matter which so far has not Jbeen encountered on earth, but has been discovered to exist in the sun. Prof. J. N. Nicholson of the British Royal Astronomical society, says there Is reason to believe the spectrum is now revealing in the corona of the sun" a more elementary form of mat­ter than any yet discovered on the earth. It is proposed to call this ele­mentary substarrce "nebullum." Pro­fessor Nicholson** says the spectrum of the far-distant nebulae in the depths of space Indicates that they are composed of this same "nebulium," which is coming to light in the solar radiations. "Nebulium" Is considered as being a lighter gas than hydrogen.

For President: THEODORE ROOSEVELT.

Fdr Vice-President: HIRAM W. JOHNSON.

Chicago.—la its first national con­vention, held in Chicago, the Progres­sive party placed the above ticket In the field, and then, after singing the Dozology, went out to battle, deter­mined to carry the fight into every corner of the country.

It was like no other national con­vention ever hejd. Happy, hopeful, light-hearted, and none the less de­termined, the delegates gathered in the Coliseum displayed a continuous enthusiasm that was not dismissed by the almost utter lack of anything re­sembling a contest. Most of them were tyros at the political convention game, and often showed it, but they laughed at each other and at them-

th* Uine spent in the Coliseum. First was the speech of Albert J. Beveridge as temporary chairman," delivered on Monday. Next day wafc.^ie colonel's, e/nl Mr. pooseyelt addressed an audl-enee that filled/ the* immense hall and told them plainly just where he stood on every Important issue. For the third day were reserved the nominat­ing and seconding speeches, and tb«se were supplemented by short, snappy speeches of acceptance by the two candidates.

between speechesand at every other available time the delegates sang and the bands and drum corps played. The songs were mostly the familiar patriotic songs, sometimes parodied to fit present conditions. The fife and drum corps, made up of Civil war veterans, was an enlivening feature, and when it grouped itself behind Colonel Roosevelt on the platform, where he stood grasping the hands of a Union and a Confederate veteran, and played "Dixie," the wild cheers from northern and southern delega­tions alike seemed to Bhow that the new party knows no sectional line and no bitter memories.

Features of the Platform. If it is admitted that the Progres­

sive party is sincere in its declaration, it certainly has started out on a cam« palgn for the amelioration of the con­dition of the people. The humanitarian features of the platform are easily the most numerous and the most striking. As Glfford Plnchot said, the battle to be waged Is more economic than po­litical, and more moral than economic. The resolutions include many project­ed measures designed to better the living conditions of the wage earner and the fanner, and the tariff plank, while declaring for a protective tariff, declared also that it must be so con­structed that a fair share of Its bene­fits would be received by the work­man and the consumer. The Initiative, referendum and recall, and the recall of judicial decisions, as explained for­merly by Colonel Roosevelt, were In­dorsed.

In matters more purely political the platform declared for national presi­dential primaries, popular election of senators and publicity of campaign funds. As has been said, It pro­nounced flatly In favor of equal suf­frage for both sexes.

8tory of the Sessions. To Senator Dixon of Montana, as

provisional chairman, fell the duty of starting things off Monday noon. He spoke briefly and forcibly and then in­troduced former Senator Beveridge of Indiana as the temporary chairman. Mr. Beveridge, who had just been nominated for governor by the Pro-

An instance of the composition of the death lists from heat was afforded in a report from Chicago concerning the mortality. Some specifications were given concerning ten deaths. Of those three, ,were drowned, two had necks broken from falls, one man cut his throat, another fell from a build-tag, an infant, fonr days old, died without medical attention and two dropped dead, both being inside of buildings when the fatal stroke came. This way of manufacturing heat mor­tality lists would be humorous if It wefa not to likely to be injurious.

Women Prominent In Convention. Then, too, in no previous convention

have the women had so prominent a part They sat as delegates In many of the state sections, they swarmed in the galleries, and one of them, Jane Addams of Chicago, Introduced as the greatest and best loved woman ' in America, had the honor of seconding the nomination of Colonel Roosevelt AH this was but natural, for the col­onel had declared himself In favor of equal suffrage, and the platform con­tained* a plank giving unqualified ap­proval to "votes for women."

Especially marked was the deeply religious feeling that pervaded the convention. This first manifested It­self on the opening day, when, in the midst of a noisy demonstration, the sand began to ptay "Onward, Christian Soldier." At ones the entire body of delegates took up the song, solemnly, with no particle of levity, and stirring words and atately muslo of the hymn rolled up to o r r i r t e f s .

gressives of Indiana, was given a hearty, noisy greeting, and he deliv­ered a "keynote" address that was all his friends expected. He set forth eloquently, from the Progressive point of view, .the need of the new party and its aims and ambitions, and bis strong climaxes never failed to meet with the responsive enthusiasm of his hearers. He attacked the doings of the professional politicians, and a man in the gallery cried To h—1 with the politicians," which sentiment was loudly applauded. He scored.the at­tempts to dissolve the Standard Oil and Tobacco trusts, and was cheered. In stating the position of the new party in regard to business he caught the fancy of the audience by shout­ing : "We want to pass prosperity around!" Next day great banders bearing the words "Pass Prosperity Around" were hung from the gal­leries.

When Mr. Beveridge concluded t h e delegates sang "The Battle Hymn of the Republic," and then the other temporary oftcers were announced. These Included the following: General secretary, 0 . K. Davis; chief assistant secretary, Wilson Brooks; sergeant-at-sras, Col. Cbauncey Dewey.

After adopting a role barring con­tested delegate! from voting on any question betel* the oonventloft, the

delegates sent A committee to invite:, Colonel Roosevelt to address the con­vention ,T«eaday, and ,-adjtmrn<*l for the a'ay. The colonel had arrived dur­ing the morning and had been given a great ovatiem: by the people.

Colopsl fU>oto\t«4*'* 3peech. Wfrefr the t^me (g£ o^enlng^the, pro­

ceedings came Tuesday Chairman Beveridge with difficulty, stopped the •gay singing of the djftegateg and JS9jJ-to them the following telegram* from Col. William R. Nelson* publisher of the~Kansas City Star;

''Lord, how I wish I were with you. What a great day, the launching of a party of imagination, hope and pros­pects. We can afford to give the other fellows their memories and disappoint­ments. The past has no interests for us. The future is our fruit Give Colonel Roosevelt my love. I never have missed a chance to place a bet

on him and never have lost when there was a square deal. The Lord Is surely with us. He has given us the men as well as the opportunity. I cannot help but feel wbat a narrow escape we had in the June convention. Roosevelt might have been nominated. My congratulations to everybody."

More songs, and then came the colonel. As he Btepped briskly to the frdrit of the platform the din was deafening. Every man and women In the hall was standing on a chair, and the air was full of waving bandannas and flags. The band blared; the drum corps, standing back of Mr. Roosevelt, played as hard as it could; the delegations soon started marching about the hall, carrying their state standards and many emblems Through the tumult could be heard the bull moose call. Miss Jane Ad­dams, one of the Illinois delegates, was boosted upon the platform, and after her came other women dele­gates, who were seated on the stage.

When the demonstration had lasted about forty-five minutes the audience recognized Mrs. Roosevelt in the bal­cony over the main entrance and di­rected the cheering toward her until she rose and waved a bandanna in response. She and the colonel ex­changed greetings across the throng.

Finally, after nearly one hour, the tumult died down gradually and Colo­nel Roosevelt was permitted to de­liver his address. It was a frank and full statement of his political and economic creed and was well received. Near its close he was interrogated as to his position on the question of negro representation in southern dele­gations, and he made a lengthy ex* planation which seemed to suit the convention and which afterward was approved by assembled negroes.

Colonel Roosevelt having concluded, W. Frank Knox of Michigan took the platform and, as chairman^ presented the report of the credentials commit­tee. The report barred every negro delegate who had contested a seat in the convention.

Doings of the Closing Day. It was nearly noon on Wednesday

when the convention came to order, and there was a lot of work to accom­plish. First the temporary organiza­tion was made permanent, and then Medill McCormlck presented the re­port of the committee on rules. This gave the name of Progressive party to the new party, with the provision, added later, that in states where it was necessary to operate "under an­other name, the party there should be recognized. as an integral part of the. national party. Various clauses de­signed to do away with conditions that bad been causes of complaint in the old parties were adopted with cheers.

William H. Hotchkiss, chairman of the New York organization, told the 'convention of the work being done by the Progressives in his state and of their prospects, and then a recess* was taken. An hour and a half later the delegates returned from the lunch counters and more rules wore adopted. Chief of these was one empowering the national executive committee to appoint four women as members at large 6f the national committee.

The nomination was made by acclamation^

Now came the grand eftmax of the convention. The chair had announced that the nominees would appear on the platform and accept the honor conferred on them. The notification committees retired - and soon re­turned, escorting Messrs. Roosevelt and Johnson, and the entire body of delegations and guests rose with a mighty roar. As the leaders stood side by side a big flag was unfurled from the rafters, and when he could make himself heard, Senator Beve­ridge announced that then was un­furled for the first time the flag bear­ing the 48 stars in the new and au­thorized arrangement.

"Of course I will accept the nom­ination," said the colonel, when he was given a chance to speak, and after giving assurance of his heart­felt devotion to the cause he said some mighty nice things about Gov­ernor Johnson. . The governor re­sponded in kind, declaring that he would rather go down to defeat with Roosevelt than to win a victory with any other man in the world. While he spoke the Californlans distributed dodgers bearing these words:

The country's corn crop, estimat­ed at 2,S11,000,000 bushels, will be the largest in the nation's history, with the exception of the years 1906 and 1910, the former being the banner year with 2,927,p00,000 bushelB.

The,oats cjrh^'will be the largest the country has gathered, surpassing by 21,000,000 bushels that of 19!0„ the previous-record. -In barley, too, this year will establish a new record, the estimated yield., of 202,000,000 bushels being 24,000,000 bushels great­er than that of 190<3, the previous best year. The yield of rye, 35,000,000 bushels, will equal that of 1910, the former record year.

Of potatoes, which will amount thia year to :ni,000,"000 bushels, only 1909 with its 38.9,000,000 bushels, produced a larger yield.

Michigan is expected to produce 7,3S2,000 bushels of winter wheat of a quality rated at 78. The unusual weather in'the state has reduced the corn crop to a condition rated at 72, a s against 81 for 1911, and 79, the average for the last ten years.

Michigan oats, however, show en­couraging reports, this year's crop standing S7, compared with 81 for 1911 and 85 for the teu-year average.

RAW ROCK PHOSPHATE

By FROF. A. J. PATTEN, ExparisMol StaHoa ChmmUt. M k U w A-prtetJrwfJ Coil—

mryi^H ri ITi r, i i r i r 'if "tssssm Finely ground raw rock phosphate,

such as is being sold as a source of phosphoric acid, for fertilising, .pur­poses la found quite extensively throughout the southern, middle west-era and western states. It has been conservatively estimated that if the present rate of consumption should be increased three times, there is now in sight an amount of rock phosphate sufficient to supply the demand for 1,200 years. The principal source of supply for this section at the present time is Tennessee, and a good grade of rock should be laid down, in car lots, along the lines of the trunk rail­roads in the southern part of the state for $8.50 to $9.00 per ton.

The grade of rock phosphate gener­ally found upon the markets contains about 61 per cent, booe phosphate of lime, which is equivalent to 28 per cent, phosphoric acid and 33 per cent lime. Fineness la a large factor in determining the availability of rock phosphate. The finer the material the more readily it will become avail­able, consequently this point should be taken into consideration when pur­chasing.

To obtain the best results it should be ground to such fineness that 95 per cent will pass through a 100 mesh screen. By far the greater part of the rock phosphate used for fertilizing purposes is in the form of acid phos­phate, (dissolved phosphate or super­phosphate). This is prepared by treating the rock phosphate with an equal weight of sulphuric acid (oil of vitriol). This treatment changes the phosphoric acid from an insoluble to a soluble form and makes it readily available to the growing plant. The cost of the phosphoric acid to the con­sumer is increased by this process to nearly four times, since the acid phos­phate sells at retail for nearly double what the raw phosphate costs and it contains only half as much phosphoric acid.

In view of this situation the ques­tion naturally arises would it not be more economical to use the slowly available raw phosphate than to pay the higher price for the acid phos­phate. Many of the state experiment stations have conducted experiments to compare these two forms of phos­phoric acid, but the results have been conflicting. In fact the results obtain­ed at fiome statlonns over a period of several years have been so contradic­tory ai to be of little value. The most widely advertised experiments with rock phosphate are , those conducted by Dr. Hopkins in Illinois. These ex­periments have been in progress dur­ing a period of 12 or 14 years and have been conducted on the so-called prairie soils ri«h in organic matter. The crops most commonly employed have been corn, oats, wheat and clo­ver. The rock phosphate has at all times been applied in connection with liberal amounts of manure or with clover turned under. The conclusions* drawn from the results of these expe­riments are that rock phosphate is a more economical source of phosphor­ic acid than the treated phosphate.

In Ohio the experiments by Direc­tor Thomas have been conducted in much the same manner as the Illinois experiments, but the results here jus­tify the conclusion that the acid phos­phate is the more economical source of phosphoric acid.

A few experiments have been con­ducted by the Michigan experiment station, and in no case have the results favored the rock phosphate, though it should be stated that the experiments were not conducted under the most fa­vorable conditions.

In reviewing the experiments report­ed from all experiment stations where experiments "have been conducted it is impossible to arrive at any definite conclusion on the subject, consequent­ly letters were written to the direc tors of 21 state experiment stations asking them to state how they advised thelf constituent farmers on the sub­ject. Seventeen replied by saying that they do cot recommend the use of rock phosphate and four recom­mend Its use when accompanied by liberal applications bf barn yard ma­nure or when green manure Is turned under. Director Tborne, who is often quoted as favoring rock phosphate, re­plied by saying "In- our experiments UT the use of raw rock phosphate as a re-enforcement of manure, as com­pared with add phosphate, we find very little difference 4n the net return, after deducting the cost of treatment, "between the two materials. The dif­ference at present seems to be slight ly in favor of the acid phosphate. Our results in the separate uae of the two phosphates as a direct application to the land do not encourage the use of the raw rock."

Although the results from all these experiments *r* so contradictory they have clearly demonstrated one thing i. e. that It is useless to uae raw rock pboepfcato except as a re-eoforcement of manure or upon land that 1« rich In organic matter. Dr. Hopkins strongly emphasise* this point in, these words: .We desire again to em­phasize the fact that humus as well aa phosphorus is needed to maintain the fertility of Illinois toil, and again to doubly emphasise the fact that raw phosphate must be used In connection with liberal amounts of manure or with a good crop of clover plowed un­der If satisfactory results are to be ••cured oa Illinois soils. Whoa used without a good crop rotation and with* out farm raanare or green manure, dtsv

1 , • .' ?.'lj'J! appointing results are very sure to fo l low." " ' '" •'"

U is the opUMon o/ the writer^based upon tjie available evidence' from all sources, that more eafeful experiment­ing must be done before this question can be definitely settled. Up to the present time the beet results, taking everything into consideration, have been obtained with the acid phosphate. Then, too, it has not yet been definite­ly proved that the beneficial results from the. use of raw rock phosphate la due in every case to the phosphoric acid It contains. As previously stated raw rock phosphate contains, on an average, 28 per cent, phosphoric acid and 33 per cent lime and any reaction taking place in the soU tending to make available the phosphoric acid will also make the lime available. In -many of the experiments with rock phosphate crops have been used which are known to be usually benefited by lime, and in such cases it i s unfair, in the writer's opinion, to attribute the good results entirely to the phos­phoric acid of the rock phosphate. Then, too, the use of rock phosphate under the most favorable conditions calls for better methods of farming and this, of itself, is bound to increase the yields.

In conclusion, the writer wishes to Impress upon the readers of this ar­ticle that the results of other expe­riments cannot be taken as applying to their own conditions and that if rock phosphate Is used at all it should be done in an experimental way, and that it should be used on such crops as corn, oata, wheat, clover, etc., and never upon crops like potatoes, sua*w •B maj n«uts 'suoiuo 'eB«qq«o 'trpeq

The Cost of Making Cement " Tile

By H. H. Musselman

In the following figures which are furniBhed for estimating the cost of making cement tile It must be kept In mind that they will be affected by lo­cal conditions in almost .every case-The cost of labor, sand and gravel, kind of machine used, convenience of arrangement for manufacturing) and number to be made, will all affect this item. The factors which will af­fect the cost to the greatest degree are labor, and the coat of sand laid down at the place of manufacture. The element of labor required Is often neglected in making estimations of this kind, since it is assumed that at certain seasons of the year it can­not be used for other purposes. This should not be neglected because the successful farmer endeavors to use his time in suoh a way as* to give it the highest worth. This will only be possible when U Is considered and its real value becomes known.

In places where sand Is difficult to obtain or where clay tile is extensive­ly manufactured, the making of ce­ment tile on the farm may not be ad­visable, but in sections where clay tile are not easily obtained, and where sand 1B convenient, their cost will usually be found less than for the clay product.

The following figures are based on some rather short teBts made by the farm mechanics department of the Michigan agricultural college. These tile were made on a machine adapt­able to both hand and power operat­ing, the mixing being done by hand. Two men were required to operate the machine to the best advantage. On this machine from 40 Oto 500 tile could be made per day of ten hours by hand power, and from 600 to 750 per day, using small gasoline engine for power. Not more than one-half to one horse power was required to run the machine. In any case it would be of decided advantage to use power, and if a Targe number are to be made a mixer could be devised which could be operated by power, and thereby materially reduce the work connected with their manufacture. Making at the rate given above the cement and sand has to be mixed in comparative­ly small batches, since no more should be mixed than can be used in a half hour.

All the figures given are for a four inch tile having a nlne-slxteenth-inch wail. No data was obtained on other sizes. The cost of the size given should give a fair notion of the cost of the other common sizes and fur­nish a basis of comparison with oth­er kinds of ttle. The proportions used were one to four of cement and sand, screened through a three-eighth • Inch screen.

Lady Augusta Gregory, the able and ardent apostle of the modern Irish movement, is fond of telling the fol­lowing real Irish story:

"It was the wedding day of Pat and Bridget, and they were having a church wedding. It was a grand af­fair. Pat was dressed with patent leather shoes, white vest and flaming tie. Bridget shone attractively in many colors. The cerembhy was over, and the happy pair walked down the aisle, out into the street, where a great crowd greeted them with delight.

"Once seated within the cab, Bridget leaned over to Pat and said, in a loud whisper, 'Och, Pat, If we could only have stood on the sidewalk and watch­ed ourselves pass, wouldn't it have been hivin'."

Frank Bell Frank Bell waa born May 31,

1888 in Dexter township, Washte­naw Co. and died August 6/ 1912. Until the p u t few months he was looked upon as a model of physical fituess and there were few who could outdo him iu a hard day's work. A short time ago his health began to fail and in hope of relief he went to the U. of M. hospital at Ann Arbor, where the specialists diagnosed his case as valvular heart trouble. Although everything possible was done to help him, a special nurse being in attendance constantly, and hav­ing the best attention that a pri­vate patient could have iu that great institution, he did not survive long after goiug there.

Frank was well known to all in this community and his loss will be felt by all his friends, and es­pecially by his former employers who considered him one of the best workman in this section. He was strictly honest and trust worthy, faithful and thoroughly competent iu every branch of farm work, always deeply appreciative of any kindness shown him and never forgetting to repay any favor, no matter how small. This fine characteristic was especially noticeable iu his kitid and sym­pathetic attentions to his mother in her recent severe illness.
