nation and 1t becomes again a nation
Of the people.
II do not care to enter at the present
time upon a discussion of the issues
presented by the platform adopted at
Kansas City. I can say that 1t is in
my judgment the greatest platform
adopted in recent years, IL not in the
history of the country. 1t Is a greater
platform than the Chicago platform,
for 1t indorses the principles set forth
in that platform and in addition there
to presents the party's position upon
| several new and vital questions.
There is no evasion about the
platform, no ambiguity and no
double dealing. 1t is as clear as the
| tones Of bell, as clear as the tones
of liberty bell. 1t deals honestly with
the American people. Its candidates
are pledged to its maintenance.
| when the convention came to the
selection of a candidate for vice-pres!
dent there was diversity of opinion.
Some preferred an eastern candidate,
believing that he would strengthen the
ticket In the east. Some preferred Mr.
Towne, knowing Of the sacrifice which
he made for principle and Of his devo-
Chicago platform. But the choice fell
upon distinguished Illinois Democrat
who once discharged with great credi;
the duties of the office. In the cam
paign of '96, when plutocracy and
Democracy met face to face. Adlai e
Stevenson was an able and courageous
defender Of the cause Of Democracy
During the campaign he spoke in sever
| nf hn cfn yiStt tn
Bloomington, near the close of the
campaign, he was chairman of the
meeting. In beginning my speech,
referred to him as follows:
1--WE who have been keepers of tn,
Democratic faith love Adlai E. Steven
son not only for what he is, but W,
love him also because he is all W,
} have left Of the last national Demo
cratic ticket The Bible tells you o
, the father who loved the prodigal sol
when he returned. I tell you of th
Democratic father who loved the sol
who went not astray. I know tina
some of our allies felt grieved that the.
were not given the second place upoi
the ticket, but I am sure that they can
; not feel unkindly toward one who, lik
, Mr.. Stevenson, was loyal to the ticke
{ nominated at Chicago, and who is abb
, to defend the magnificent party cree
set forth at Kansas City.
'In this campaign issues are create
than men. I shall not ask anyone t
vote our ticket merely because it's tn
! ticket of the party 1t deserves the sup
e port because it stands for the declara
tion of independence in dealing wit
q the Philippines and for the doctrine Q
, equal rights for all and special priv
. leges for none in all domestic ques
! tions."
$ Gen. James B. Weaver also spoke q
4 some length, outlining the work to
c done by the Democratic, Silver Repub
e lican and Populist parties, and appeal
ing for harmony for the common cause
o He also paid tribute to Mr.. Stevenson
record in congress.

day at the Neil, Columbus. Each of
the 21 districts is represented. G.. Very

ment will be made for opening the fall

Hon. w. S. Thomas, of Springfield,
who was one of the delegates-a at large
to the national Democratic convention,
is gubernatorial aspirant, and he will
probably be one of Kilbourne's most
formidable opponents for the nomina-
tion next year. The big vote Thomas
received at the state convention in
June showed he stands well with his
party.
If the Mclean forces can win out
George Hull, of Toledo, will be the next
chairman of the Democratic state CEN
tral committee. Hull Is said to be a
clever politician.
State Fire Marshal Hollenbeck has
decided to divide the state into dis

out notification blanks to chiefs of fire
departments, mayors and incorporated
villages without fire departments and
clerks Of townships.

TATOOHNG FAD
in LONDON.
Lovers Who Have Been Severed
by War Now Wear Indelible
Reminders of Their Sweet
hearts on Their Arms

One effect of the South African war
is seen in the fact that London has
gone crazy over tattooing. Not only
have people of humble station resorted
to this method of keeping the absent
ones in mind, but the crsGe has ex-
tended into the ranks of Cie aristoc-
racy, so that now these indelible tokens
of the existence of brave sweethearts
grace the arms of hundreds of young
women iof title.
1t would be a mistake to say that the
fad of -tattooing was due entirely to the
present war. Despite all civilizing in
f1uences and the refining tendencies of
modern education, these body decora-
tions that were so common among the
savages have continued to appeal to
men and women in all walks and sta
lions of life.
The present general revival of this
craze was inaugurated by the aristo-

VALLEY FORGE TO BE A PARK.
Societies Pennsylvania Are Urging the
Acquire More Of this Historic Land.

Historic old Valley Forge, the spot
that played such an important part in
the early history of this country, is to
be made a public park. Already the
State of Pennsylvania has acquired
one-fifth of the field that was once oc-
cupied by the Colonial troops under
Washington, and efforts are now be
ing made to persuade the Legislature
to take possession of the rest of the
land If this is done, and there is ev-
cry likelihood that it will be done be-
fore many months have passed, the
field will soon become a public park
If, by any chance, the Legislature
should fail to grant the requests of the
petitioners who are interested in this
project, it is quite probable that the
patriotic societies of the State will take
the matter in hand and will gain pos
session of the property, purchasing it
with money collected by popular sub
scription. In other words, the men,
bers of the patriotic societies are de-
termined that Valley Forge, with all
its historic associations, shall cease to
be the property of private individuals,
and that. instead, it shall become a

May not here at last be an authentic

are now looking for a solution of these
problems, consists simply of two mar

have free access. Under the circum-

able that in some way the scheme will
be carried through.
The idea of taking this means of pre-
serving this relic of the Revolutionary
War originated with the members of
the Philadelphia chapter of the Daugh-
tiers of the Revolution. The matter was
thoroughly discussed and a committee
was appointed to ascertain the exact
condition of the old encampment and
to take steps to have either the State

A PUBLIC WORK.

AS the State had already obtained
possession of portion of the field, in
Guiding the old Washington headquar-
tiers, it was felt that the State was the
proper party to continue the work. IT,
however, the authorities do not feel in
clined to take this step the societies
stand ready to see that the project is
properly carried through in order that
the house and grounds shall become a
permanent and cared-for monument to
the fight for American independence.
The site of the patriot camp covers
nearly 1900 acres of rolling meadow
land, broken here and there with wood
ed hills. It is just south of the Schuyl-
kill and is within easy distance of Phil
adelphia. The old stone mansion that
was occupied as headquarters by Gen.
Washington faces the railroad station,

south is the spot where the first head

Land for Lands IS.

One of the last bills which passed
Congress opens to settlement the XII
owa, Comanche, and Apache Indian
reservation in southeastern Oklahoma.
The government is to pay the Indians
100000, one-fourth in cash, the
other three-fourths to remain in the
Treasury drawing per cent interest.
The number of acres open to settlers
will be over 100000, which will give
space for about 10000 farms of 100
acres each, though not all the land is
of value for farming purposes. The
opening of this reservation is another
step toward inducing the Creeks, Cher
okees, Seminoles, Choctaws and Chick
asaws to take up lands in severalty.
When this is done the old Indian Ter
ritory can be united to Oklahoma and
become a prosperous state.
