The suit covers about 100 pages Of printed
matter. including an entire volume OF
maps and drawings. The case was pre-
sentes by Joseph Choate for the railroad
company and Assistant Attorney General
Dickinson for the government. Mr.. choats
claimed that the Southern Pacific COM

But on the far turn Barge and Frank
Agan moved up and got within hailing
distance. Down the stretch it looked as
if Frank Agan would overhaul the lead
er, but despite McCarthy's efforts, w. W.
P. held him safe until LOOMS made the
fatal mistake Of drawing the whip. This
was close to the wire, and w. w. P.
clearly had Agan beaten, but the whip
caused W. W. P. to go into the air and
the judges set him back, giving the heat
to Frank Agan. There was considerable
criticism of the decision, although w. W.
P was in break when he went under

The latter was far back all the way.

reason that our state and several
others have instructed by name for a
candidate for the presidency to be
voted for first and last in the conven-
ton. We think also it is undemo-
cratic that the question of the nomi-
IA ion for the presidency should be
submitted to a less body than the whole
convention. All the states in the Un-
ion have been invited to send dele
gates to this convention, and the ques-
ton of a nomination ought not to be
considered in any body consisting -
less than all the states. and confer
ence or caucus mot having delegates
from all the states is not a conven-
ton, and ought not to assume to be
one"
The Indiana delegation is conducting
the candidacy of Governor Matthews,
and the effect of the resolution is to
withdraw participation on the part of
Governor Matthews friends in the pro-
posed caucus.

ONE MORE DAY OF TRIUMPH.

American heart delights in. And when
it was all over and the last float and
carriage had passed; when the queen
and her maids had gone away; when
tired little bodies longed for home and
little faces were flushed; when little
eyes were dimmed with perspiration;
when the last little voice had finished
that grand anthem, America" they
We're asked if they would come again
today and every little one responded,
Yes, sir"
AN OVERWHELMING SURPRISE.
The executive committee never
dreamed that yesterday would be the
success it was when its members ar
ranged for Director Bassett to provide
each of the tiny ones with a flag and
a seat and asked them to go to prac-
tice every day for the last two weeks.
Because it was such a success as every
man, whose hopes are centered in the
future of this republic, earnestly de-
sires to attain. Beyond all the tinsel
Of the float and its charming beauty;
beyond the glare of the bands; be-
yond the pride one feels in the display
which results from the common effort
of those who participate, comes the
satisfaction born of a holy sentiment.
IT'S said, THE hand that rocks the
cradle rules the world Carry this
sentiment to the logical conclusion
which it is entitled TO and add that the
girls of today are the mothers of the
future, and who will assert that Amer
lea and Utah are in danger? When
the hearts which now beat are still
ed and the grass grows green over
them; when the faces which greet US
are faded and the bright eyes of this
time closed in the sleep which aWah-
ems in a land where all sorrow fades
eternally, will they who raised their
voices yesterday not teach the little
ones to come the same songs they sang?
And when the spirit Of a nations songs
are instilled in the breast, the nation S
security is assured. The "Wacht am
Rhein' stands better guard over the
German empire than all her armies,
and so long as the Frenchman can
chant the 'Marseilles'' the safety of
France is sacredly guarded as are the
the rock bound hills, sheltered by the
great guns of Gibraltar. So, when the
little women of great America sing
the Red, White and Blue" there need
be no fear, although at times the
skies lower, for when the final test
comes, keeping time to the harmony of
their voices a million swords will leap
from the soil to defend it.
