' WHAT CONVENTION IS DOING 0 Delegates Came Prepared For a Long and Excited Session.?Was Expected to Be Day of Climax.?Boomers Ready to Start Demonstration. Convention Hall, Baltimore.?Delegates to the democratic national convention filed Into the convention hall Thursday prepared for a long and excited session. It was expected to be the climax day, the end of the long campaign waged by the presidential aspirants. But as they came into the hall these delegates apparently were as much at sea as ever as to who j would be the nominee. Boomers of the Aarious candidates were ready to start demonstrations and counter demonstrations and it seemed certain that the delays would be such as to throw the actua) balloting late into the evening. All sorts of rumors were afloat as to deals and combinations during the forenoon, but not one of these seemed to have a trustworthy foundation. The supporters of Wood row Wilson, heartened by the so-called WilsonBryan victory in their fight for abrogation of the unit rule that would have bound all the members of a state delegation to the views of a majority, were claiming that the New Jersey governor would sweep the convention and secure the nomination. They expressed the hope that Mr. Bryan might be induced to come out squarely for Wilson and felt that if this could be brought about ultimate victory was certain. The order of business as the convention met was further consideration of the report of the committee on credentials. The majority report was presented Thursday night, the minority findings being delayed until Friday. Then the report of the committee on permanent organization tfas scheduled to be taken up with the convention ready to ratify by acclamation the choice of Senator-Elect Ollie M. James, of Kentucky, as permanent chairman. These things disposed of, the delegates looked forward to the long series of nominating and seconding speeches and finally to the balloting on the presidential candidates. Senator-Elect Ollie James of Kentucky, who is permanent chairman cf the national convention, in his keynote speech Thursday, Bpoke in part as follows: "The Republican party, flushed with many victories, imperious as a tyrant, unheeding the demands of the people, took the reins of the government in 1908 under the solemn promise that they would revise the tariff in the interest of the consumer. Instead of keeping this promise as they should have done because it was their bond of honor, they betrayed it. They raised the tariff higher than ever before until it reached its maximum of protection, being 47 per cent. ' The story of this base betrayal Is known to all men. The Democratic party appealed on their record in the sixty-first Congress on the Payne-Aldrich tariff bill to the American people rnd we received from them a verdict of guilty against the Republican party and the bestowal of power upon ourselves. How faithfully we have kept our promises to them is but a resume of our official action." Mr. James reviewed at great length the tariff revision legislation passed by the Democratic House and referred to the hills vetoed by President Taft. Referring to the veto of the wool bill, he said: "And today the wool trust stands not behind a majority of the law-1 wiiann M*n Win Another Victory. I Baltimore.?The Bryan-Wilson progressives won another victory in the democratic convention Thursday when the delegates overturned the report of the credentials committee and seated ten Wilson delegates from South Dakota. The Wilson supporters claimed that the nomination of Woodrow Wilson was a certainty. The vote stood Wilson 639 1-2; Clark 437; not voting 5 1-2; absent two. New York's votes which went to the ClarkHarmon combination were cast in a block for Wilson deelgates. Renewed Talk of Bryan. Baltimore.?There was renewed talk of Mr. Bryan himself as the nominee. I some of the so-called conservatives 1 being quoted as saying that so long as the naming of a progressive seemed inevitable it might be just as well ; to have Mr. Bryan lead the fight. ' Some of Mr. Bryan's friends indicated that the Nebraskan apparently was content wit hthe position he now occupies. the right to name the candidate being all but conceded to him. Supporters of Champ Clark are as confident as ever. A Tumultuous Demonstration. Baltimore. ? A lively controversy arose as Theodore Bell of California championed the Clark delegates in the Fouth Dakota case, delegates chal: lending his statements from the floor. ?-hiia chmitc for Wilson generally brought on a tumultuous demonstration. Great waves of cheering swept the hall as the demonstration increas ed to a storm. Banners were borne through the aisles, delegates standing on chairs and madly waving hats and flags. New Jersey. Pennsylvania and i Texas swung Wilson banners. Women of the Revolution. Not only did the women of the Revolution suffer from the British, but after the actual lighting was at an end ! the country was overrun by marauders. who plundered the unhappy people of what little remained to them after the devastations of war. One day a man of this description forced himself into the house of Andrew Lee. intent upon plunder of every kind. "Nancy, Nancy.' cried Lee to his wife as be struggled with the man. "Hit him upon ! the head with the ax." V makers of the republic, but behind t^i? veto' of the President and the elefen more than one-third of the representatives of the American people picking the pockets of the shivering poor and ragged people of America. The Republican party became so arrogant and confident that this character of robbery would continue to meet the favor of the American people that they boldly wrote into their platform of 1908 a declaration that the tariff should not only equal the difference in the cost of production at home and abroad, but should be high enough in addition to this to give a profit to the manufacturer here. "President Taft has the lone and singular distinction of being the only President in the life of this republic who ever vetoed bills cheapening clothing to the people, lumber to the homeless and meat and bread to hungry Americans and free fanning implements to the tolling farmer." Mr. James referred at some length to the tariff board and said: "When does a demand for a report of a tariff board come to our ears? IPs when the tariff has already been fixed bo high that they know they can get it no higher and if the 'people's representative!!' were auoweu 10 ?pea& they would reduce It. Then we are told the tariff board must report. This great right of taxation must be taken out of the handB of the people and lodged in the hands of a board of five men and their report must be awaited by the suffering people of the United States." Other legislation passed by the Democratic House, he pointed out, was the income tax, publicity of campaign funis and direct election of Senators. He declared for vigorous anti-truBt laws and said in part: "We are not opposed to big business. We recognize that in a big co.untry there must be big business, but we say with all the emphasis of our souls that big business must obey the law. "We would strike from these trusts every character of protection. We would write a tariff law strictly for revenue only and place the tax first upon the luxuries and if that did not produce sufficient revenue then upon the comforts of life, and lastly we wou.d lay the burden of taxation upon the necessities of life. The Infant Industries must be weaned. Infants they began, but are mighty giants today which have coalesced their strength?to drive skyward the cost of living and oppress the people." opinion that the fight lay among the supporters of \Vil6on, Clark and Bryan Mrs. William Taft at Convention. Baltimore.?Mrs. William H. Taft, wife of the President, was a visitor at the convention Thursday. Sho was entertained by Mrs. Hugh Wallace, wife of a delegate from the state of Missouri. Thomas Ryan's Cat Detailed. Baltimore.?W. J. Bryan remarked before leaving to attend the deliberations of the resolutions committee that "the convention clipped off the tail of Thomas P. Ryan's cat." The Nebraska leader previously had depicited Mr. Ryan, the New York flnan cicr, as cracking a cat-'-nine tails over the convention. "Then the course of progressivlsm is moving along more smoothly?" "Well, the proceedings," replied Mr. Bryan, "would indicate that they had not made any inroads on us." The young wife, trembling with agitation. lifted the ax, but her first blow fell upon her husband's hand! The second, however, was more successful, and the marauder fell to the ground, stunned. The wife and mother of the Revolution never knew at what moment she might be called upon to be chief actor in a scene like this! Desperate. Alice?What would you do If you were a man? Marie?I'd propose myself. The latter part of the chairman s speech was devoted to severe strictures on' President Taft's adrainistra-tion. Platform Pleases Full Committee. Baltimore.?The platform to be adopted by the Democratic convention was under consideration during the entire day Thursday, first by Mr. Bryan and Senator O'Gorman of the resolutions committee, later by the subcommittee of eleven of which Senator Kern of Indiana is chairman, and in the end by the full committee. Immediately after their task was assigned to them. Messrs. Bryan and O'Gorman shut themselves up in the committee room, doffed their coats and collars and continued until about 6 o'clock, when they announced that their work had been completed. The sub-committee was called in at that hour and immediately began a careful reading of the document. Members of the sub-committee found lit tie ground for criticism, all of tlieii corrections being merely verbal. They were sufficiently satisfied with the situation to announce a meeting of the full committee at 10 o'clock to have that organization pass Judgment upon the document. * - *?? ? Hoon nnnnnnpjifi the Tllat form is a flat and positive declaration for a tariff for revenue only, but there is ilb pronouncement In favor of free raw material. The tariff plank comes immediately after a general declaration of Democratic principles, witt which the document opens. There are strong paragraphs against monopoly Candidates Are Named. Baltimore.?Oscar W. Underwood ol Alabama, and Champ Clark of Missouri, had been put in nomination before the Democratic national convention at 12:30 a. m., Friday, and at that hour other nominating speeches were in order. There was no idea of reaching a vote during Thursday night however, an agreement having been reached to postpone the balloTTni until noon Friday, or possibly later. Effect of Decision on Unit Rule. Baltimore.?The effect of the democratic convention's action in amending the rule which would have bound delegations to adhere to the unit rule, was the subject of wide discussion Though different views were expressed, the actual effect was explained bj Charles Crisp, who is acting as parlifc mentary clerk of the convention "The action of the convention in adopting the report of the committee on rules," said Mr. Crisp, "will be tc bind to the unit rule all delegates so Jcctcd by state conventions.

Walking behind some colored girls, homeward bound from a school, in a Missouri town once upon a time, a visitor overheard the following unblushing and giggling, rich-voiced and sparkling-eyed assertion of individuality from one of them: "Yes, she ! kep' mo in, but I don' know inny mo' 'bout Caesar now 'n I did befo' han'.

"I see. On land, Jorkins is the fel1 low at six o'clock who horns through : the women and children and gets a j window seat in his homebound street I car." Man's Usefulness. Mrs. Edward R.

Tea is just as harmful as coffee because It contains caffeine?the same drug found in coffee. She writes: "My husband was Bick for threo ! years with catarrh of the bladder, and palpitation of the heart, caused by coffee. Was unable to work at atl and in bed part of the time. "I had stomach trouble, was weak and fretful so I could not attend to my housework?both of us using coffee all the time and not realizing it was harmful. "One morning the grocer's wife said she believed coffee was the cause of our trouble and advised Posium. I took it home rather dubious what my c?i-?h? was fond of UUCUauu nvnaju coffea "But I took coffee right off tho table and we haven't used a cup of It since. You should have seen the change In : us, and now my husband never complains of heart palpitation any more. My stomach trouble *.vent away in two weeks after I began Postum. My chll- ! dren love it, and it does them good, which can't be said of coffee. "A lady visited us who was usually half sick. I told her I'd wake her a cup of Postum. She said it was tasteless stuff, but she watched me make it, boiling it thoroughly for 15 minutes, and when done, she said It was splendid. Long boiling brings out the flavor and food quality."

As a part of the folklore of the negro folks the superstitions of slavery dayB are of great Interest. The following are some of the negro's beliefs about ghosts: To feel a hot breath of air strike you at twilight signified the nearby j presence of a ghost. Should you wish ' to avoid him, stop and turn your coat' and trousers and hat wrong side out and the spirit cannot encounter you. If, however, he Is a pugnacious sprite and approaches despite the change, turn and address him thus: "In the name of the Lord, what do you want?" Whereupon he will tell you his business upon earth, then depart and never, never trouble you again. If, on the other hand, It Is a prowling ghost who crawls under the house, bumps against the floor, makes strange sounds, and whispers In the midnight hours, you have only to put In a new floor and he will do so no more. Some ghosts are obtrusive and will not only prowl about tho house, but creep in through the crack of the door 1 In the wee small hours of the night,1 and, once Inside, expand to vast proportions.

My fingers fairly bled and it itched until it almost drove me frantic. The eruption began with Itching under the skin. It spread faat from between the Angers around the nails and all over the whole hands. I got a pair of rubber gloves in order to wash diBhes. Then it spread all over the left side of my chest. A Ane doctor treated the trouble two weeks, but did me no good. I cried night and day. Then I decided to try Cutlcura Soap and Ointment but without much hope as I had gone so long. There was a marked change the second day, and so on until I was entirely cured. The Cutlcura Soap we have always kept In our home, and we decided after that lesson that it is a cheap 6oap in price and the very .best in J quality.

"Mug" It Overworked Word. The most overworked word In the Englishman's vocabulary of slang Is "Mug." As a noun It may mean a face, a fool, or a student who prefert reading to sport. As a verb Its meanings are still more varied. It may mean to study hard, or to strike In the fare. It nlso means to rob or swindle, and among actors to grimace or make faces. To mug up Is also. In theatrical parlance, to make up. Finally, to mug one's self Is to get drunk, the resulting condition being one of mugglness. There Is more obvious sense In this last use of the word than In some of the others, for alehouses. In the eighteenth century, were commonly known as mughouses. Mug Is the English equivalent of the German Zug, which Mark Twain found to mean everything. A new sense of the verb "mug" In the American slang Is to photograph a face. For Forty Years a Hermit.

FAVORS VIGOROUS TRUST WAR Income Tax and Popular Election of 8enator? Is Commended?Government Supervision of Interstate Business Demanded. The leading plank of the platform adjpted by th/ Democrltlc lational convention at Baltimore calls for an immediate downward revision of the tariff. On this subject the platform says: The Tariff Reform. "We declare it to be a fundamental principle of the Democratic party that the federal government under the Constitution has no right or power to impose or collect tariff duties except for the purpose of revenue nnd we demand that the collection of such taxes shall be limited to the ne - ? -?? 1 c?8sltles or government nonesuy auu economically administered. "The high Republican tariff is the principal cause of the unequal distribution of wealth; it is a system of taxation which makes the rich richer and the poor poorer; under its operations the American farmer and laboring man are the chief sufferers; it raises the cost of the necessities of life to them, but does not protect their product or wages." The action of President Taft in vetoing the bills to reduce the tariff in the cotton, woolen, metals and chemicals schedules and the farmers free list bills is denounced. Issue Ib taken with the Republican platform and much of the present high cost of living is laid to the high tariff laws. Anti-Trust Law. The platform declares that a private monopoly is indefensible and intolerable and says: "We therefore favor the vigorous enforcement of the criminal as well as the civil law against trusts and trust officials, and demand enactment of such additional legislation as may be necessary to make it impossible for a private monopoly to exist in the United States." "The action of the Republican ad ministration in compromising wun the Standard Oil "company and the tobacco trunt and Its failure to Invoke the criminal provisions of the antitrust law against the officers of those corporations after the court had declared that from the undisputed facts In the record they had violated the criminal provisions of the law" is denounced. "We regret that the Sherman antitrust law has received a judicial construction depriving It of much of its efficiency and we favor the enactment of legislation which will restore to the statute the strength of which it has been deprived by such interpretation." The platform urges people to support proposed constitutional amendments, providing for an Income tax and election of United Stntes senators by direct vote of the people. As justification of the demands of the party for publicity of campaign expenditures, attention Is directed "to the enormous expenditures of money In behalf of the president and his predecessor In the recent presidential contest." Asks Presidential Primaries. Following Is a summary of eome of the more Important planks: Declares for presidential preference primaries. Directs national committee to provide for selection at primaries of members of national committee. Pledges party to enactment of law prohibiting campaign contributions by corporations and unreasonable campaign contributions by individuals. Opposes Aldrlch Bill. In connection with a demnnd for such a revision of the banking laws aa will give temporary relief In case of financial distress there Is a denunciation of the Aldrlch bill prepared by the mometarv commission. The present method of depositing government funds Is condemned and the party la pledged to the enactment of a law for the deposit of such funds by competitive bidding In state or national banks without discrimination as to locality. Recommends Investigation of agricultural credit societies In Europe to ascertain whether a system of rural credits may be devised suitable to conditions In the miteri States. Pledges party to enactment of legislation to prevent devastation of lower Mississippi valley hy floods and the control of the Mississippi is declared to be a national rather than a state problem. The maintenance of a navIgable channel Is also recommended. Refers to Russian treaty and renews pledge to preserve "sacred rights of American citizenship at home and abroad. Favors single presidential term and making president Ineligible to re-electlon. Denounces Republican administration on charge of extravagance and demands return to simplicity and economy beflltting a democratic government. Favors efficient supervision and rate regulation of railroads, express companies. telegraph and telephone lines and a valuation of these companies by the interstate commerce commission, and also legislation against overissuaiiee of stocks of these corpora, tlons.

Commends to the states adoption of law making It offense to discriminate against the uniform of the I'nlfed States. Renews declaration of last platform regarding generous pension policy. Refers to the rule of the people, and says: "The Democratic party offers itse'f to the country as an agency through which the complete overthrow and extirpation of corruption, fraud, and machine rule In American politics can be effected." The conclusion of the platform says: "Our platform Is one of principles \ 'Mch we belieVe to be essential to our national welfare," and Invites cooperation of all citizens who believe In malntalnlng unimpaired the Institutions and traditions of our country." | ^' ALCOHOL-3 PER CENT ^ A\egetable Preparation for As teH similatingtheFoodandRegula?[| ting the Stomachs and Bowels of H^^B535EB!ZinS3G5GH| J Promotes Digeslion,Cheerfulf] nessandRcst Contains neither l!> Opium.Morphine nor Mineral Jii Not Narcotic < N Rttipt SOU DrSA.Hl'ElPfTWER })| Pumplti* St* J * ;??
