Isaac w. Brown, of Rochester. Gives An
Interesting Lecture.
Isaac W. Brown, of Rochester, de-
lvered his lecture on "BIrds and Bees"
near the corner of Michigan and La
porte streets Monday night. 1t was
interesting throughout. Mr. Brown
first told of the Hesslsn fly, its nature
and development. He told how these
insects, as he termed them, fell to the
ground as the wheat stock natures
and insisted that they were intended
by the Creator as bird food A flock of
quails, sixty in number, would consume
all the fly in twelve acre field of wheat
and he argued that our quail should be
protected if We expect to extermlnate
the Hessian fly, and if we are to again
harvest big wheat crops.
He wanted simply to humor Gods
plan. His criticism of the fellows who
shoot these innocent and helpful birds
was indeed severe.
He told also how beneficial are the
humble bees and the honey bees to the
clover seed crop. He thought that our
farmers should cater to the humble
bees, make hives for them and protect
them, as their work on the blossom is
absolutely essential TO large clover
seed crop. MIR. Brown is an excellent,
popular speaker.
tie ls patriotic in his defense of the
birds and bees; he goes from place to
place speaking in their behalf, accept
ing as remuneration whatever the peo-
pie choose to give him. He has already
spoken in score of Indiana counties
and expects TO be in every county in
the state during the year. All will
wish him well in the work he has un-
dertaken.

HOW 1T STARTED.

The Discussion of Vertical Writing Becom-
ing General.
The Indianapolis Journal of Thurs
day has this to say of vertical writing:
Several years ago a change was
made in the system of penmanship
taught in the Indianapolis public schools
and also in the schools of number of
other cities, vertical writing being sub
stituted for the slanting. Elaborate
arguments were used to show that not
only was the vertical writing more legi-
BILE than the other, but that the position
taken by the child In the act of writing
was more erect and healthful. and that
he was less likely to grow lopsided than
by the use of the other system. There
was some suspicion at the time that the
agitation was raised in the interests of
copy book publishers rather than of the
children, but however this may have
been, the arguments prevailed and YER
ticsl writing was introduced by the
oShooA "itb WIG oil
of comforting a great benefit upon the
rising generation. Now it pears the
vertical method has fault from which
the other was free. The change from
one to the other was made in the New
York City schools about the same time
it was effected here, and the board of
of the various districts
there have just decided to recommend
an abandonment of the vertical and
return to the slanting system o. hand
writing. The complaint made against
the former is that, although legible,
those using it cannot write rapidly and
are therefore at disadvantage with
boys and girls who seek employment in
commercial houses. One who has had
experience with both kinds of penman-
ship, says pupil who has been taught
the slant system and is as otherwise as
apt and intelligent as one who has
learned the vertical method can write
forty-five words to the Others thirty.
Marshall County independent. (Plymouth, Marshall County, Ind.) 1897-1902, 1900-07-06

complaints came from pupils who
found themselves Handicapped by the
Isct that they wrote the vertical hand,
men to whom they went for employ
ment obJecting to their style of pen
maishlp as slow. One superintendent
made the comment that a mans real
handwriting, that which becomes dis
tlnctlvely his own and shows his PER
sonslity, Is not acquired in school, but
10 later life. This is no doubt true, for
most men write hand very different
from the one they were taught in
schoolboy days; at the same time the
ooy VINO learns to write slowly, is likely
to lind 1T hard To overcome the habit,
ana the objection of employers has
SOUND foundation. So far as the J our
mai knows this objection has not been
raised IN this city, perhaps because it
has not been in use long enough for
pupils practlclng it TO have entered
commercial life; but ii is likely to come
up and may call for return to the old
method. Although it is the day of the
typewrtlng machine, the day has not
yet come when handwriting can be dis
pensed with, and the man who can
write rapidly and legibly has distinct
advantage on many occasions"

Reasons for Refusing to Permit His Name

Kansas City, July 4.-Mr. Shively to-

honor involved in the favorable men
tion of my name in connection with
the nomination for the vice presidency,
but have not been candidate for the
nomination, am not now and could not
accept the distinguished honor If ten
dered. My reasons are of a purely
business character, but nevertheless
such as, with me, are legitimate, poten-
tisl and conclusive. The action of the
Indiana delegation this morning, over
my protest, fills me with mingled sense
of gratitude and regret gratitude for
the unsOught expression of confidence
and good will their action implied, re-
gret that because of their generous
psrtialIty this reiterstion seems neces-
ssry. With assurance of sincere thanks
to the Indiana delegation and to numer-
GUS delegations from other states for
their generous proffers of support in
the convention, must again respect
fully request that my name be not con-
sidered in connection with the nomina.

Kansas City, uly AT exactly 1902
p. In. Chairman Jones ascended the
platform.
AS the waive of applause subsidized
Chairman Jones rsppeI VI yi.orously and
repeatedly, stilling the tumult, and
then above the din, his voice could be
heard announcing: 1.-THE convention
will come to order. The sergeant at
arms will see that the aisles are cleared" !"
Sergeant-st-Arms Martin advanced
to the front and urged the crowds
massed in front of the platform to take
seats. Great disorder prevailed; the
aisles were jammed with a shifting,
noisy crowd of subordinate officials and
intruders. and it took sometime to Sc
cure quiet.
The first business of the convention
was the reading of the formal call by
Secretary Walsh and prayer by Rev. S.
M. Neil.
Demonstration for Shively.
While the prayer was being made, the
band from Lebanon marched into q
north gallery and began playing "On
the Banks of the Wabash" For a min
ute the voice of the minister was
drowned. The bsndm aster saw he had
touched the button too soon, and stop
ped the music. 1t had been prear-
ranged that the band should march
into the hall and play "On the Banks
of the Wabash" just as the delegation
from Indiana entered. The program
slipped q cog, however, for the dele
gates had been in their seats some time
when the band broke loose. But after
all the plan was not q total failure.
At the close of the prayer the band
got in its work and the Indianians
yelled for Shively. The convention
took up the name and q significant
demonstration followed.
Mayor Reed Welcomes Delegates.
"Gentlemen will please oe in ORDER"
said Chairman Jones, as the hum and
hustle again broke loose after the
prayer. "We must have quiet on the
floor. Gentlemen of the convention 1
have the honor to present to you the
democratic mayor of Kansas City,
James A. Reed"
A shout of applause went up as the
slender form of Mr.. Reed came to the
front of the platform. He spoke delib-
erately and with a clear, resonant voice
that easily penetrated to every corner
of the hall.
The first burst of applause that
greeted the mayors speech of welcome
came when he spoke of the universally
of democratic doctrine, which had pen
etrsted, he said, wherever liberty is
known and loved. He dwelt at some
length on the progress of the principles
of the Democratic party. which origi-
mated, he said, with the liberty loving
people of France and England, and
came to the continent for its large
growth and ultimate development. His
allusion to the early leaders of the Dem.
ocratic party, Jefferson and Jackson,
evoked Outbursts of cheers.
He declared that Jefferson believed
in expansion only as 1t made homes for
American men upon their own conti-
nent.
Dwelling at length on the progress
made by the Democratic party in the
cause of human rights, Mr.. Reed grew
impassioned in his eulogy of the good
work done by it through all the years
of it's existence.
A yell of applause greeted his an
