WILL SUPPORT BRYAN.
Gold Democrats Decline to Nominate
Ticket.
Norfolk Vipinian-PilOt. }

indianapolis. July 2j--By unani-
nous vote Of the National Committee
OF the National gold standard) De-
mocracy with the anti-imperialistic
movement originating with the recent
mass meeting at the Plaza Hotel in
New York City was defeated, as was
also the plan to place gold stand
ard Democratic ticket in the field this
year
When ". Il. Iialdeman, proprietor
Of the Louisville COuricr-.jOurnni, and
member of the National Executive
Committee arose, a sensation was
sprung. The speaker declared his in
tention Of supporting Bryan and Ste
vcnA0n.
Mr.. llaldeman, among other things,
said: II am compelled, with a sense
that | love SO earnestly, to actively
rrIpport an American whom believe
loves his country, and whom believe
10 be the highest type of an American
citizen. and thus believing | shall vote
and support William Jennings Bryan"
When the vote on the question Of
fusion and the nomination OF third
ticket was taken, Gordon Woodbury.,
of New Hampshire, proved to be the
only committeeman present who
favored third party ticket. The
vote stood 20 to against the propo-
sitinn. Mr.. Woodbury. at once moved
that the vote be made unanimous and
this was done.

Roanoke IVA TimeS.)


It would seem nowadays that there
is u tendency to ignore many OF the
courtesies Of our forefathers. and that
we are becoming so emlnently Prac-
teal in our twentieth century adj
yancement that soon the distinction
between men and women will be
entirely lost. A few years ago a man
who put his feet on a railing in the
presence Of ladies was considered
unfit for polite society. To-day we
find mems feet higher than their
heads and their persons occupying
positions of abandon while visiting
ladies that their own mothers would
not have countenanced for a single
moment in their girlhood days. Men
are gradually losing their courtly
bearing. They respect women none
the less, we believe, but their out
ward bearing does not always indicate
that fact How many men ever think
of asking whether they may smoke
when ladies are around? They APP
pear to deem it their privilege and
they exercise it everywhere. One
finds the cigarette going in full blast
in the door Of the ballroom and en-
counters it in the parlor. Men do not
put themselves out to provide for the
comfort of women in public places.
This is an age of advanced education,
and our new ideas do not permit Of
our seeing that ladies are given the
best seat, that she is assisted when
ever possible, that she is spared in
convenience. We pay our money as
we'll as she does, and are going to
put ourselves out in no way. This is
a free country, and we are going to
do as we please, and our women
might as well get used to it. What
do we care if smoke and cinder blow
upon her, if she struggles with a win
dow, if she has to work her unsteady
way to the water-cooler, if she has to
take anything she can get at any and
all times? For shame that men whose
duty is to protect the weaker sex and
guard her at all times should lose
their respect for her disabilities in
looking after herself and proceed to
| ignore her while exercising their
own superior strength in the attain
ment of their own selfish comfort.
| To the credit of the American people
be it said, there are many whom the
instinct of courtly bearing towards
women is an heritage which they
would not abandon if they could. 1t
is refreshing in this day of selfish
rush aud push to see a gentleman,
and by gentleman we mean a man
| possessing the qualities the absence
of which we have so much deplorcd
He stands out upon society like the
| poem of the master mind among the
mass Of rubbish of the day, like the
work Of the great artist among the
| pictures of mediocre gallery. One
knows him instantly and salutes him
unconsciously as he passes, and wo-
men welcome him whether he has
brains or blood or comely person.
| The gentleman in him, his considera-
ton and attention to their wants, win
for him a place among them wherever
| he goes. Would that there were
| more OF them. 1t is true that women
permit the carelessness one so often
sees, but they do so because they find
| they must, or think they must at
least, and not because they like it..
| We believe they could stop it if they
| would. But that is not the point,
| and does not excuse the men.

Pekin From Its Walls,

Pekin, the capital of China, is
city of about 1000, 200 inhabitants.
1t stands in a desert, and since there
are within its walls large plots of
ground which are not built up, it
covers an immense area. There are
no sewers in the city, and, as re-
suit, it is unusually filthy, even for a
Chinese city There is no public
water supply, and water is hard to
get and never very pure. None of
the streets are we'll paved, and it is
difficult to make ones way around
the city, especially after dark.
Many streets are impossible for
vehicles. The main part of the city
is surrounded by a wall, but for wears
the place has been outgrowing it's
bounds and thousands of persons now
live in the suburbs.
About the only clean places in the
city, according to the foreigners, are
inside of their compounds. The le-
CATION of the United States occupies
a small compound near the wall of
the city. Both the British and Rus
sian legation occupy compounds of
good size, which have been made
quite attractive. There is almost
no market for imported goods in
Pekin, and, therefore, few merchants
try to do business within the city.
They are in reality forbidden to trans
act business within the city walls.
All the walls of Pekin. unlike those
of most cities in China. are kept in
good repair. The outer walls meas
ure about 80 miles in circumference.
Those of the Oldest portions of the
citv-the Tartar portion-are 50 feet
high and have a width at the base of
60 feet. while at the top they are 40
feet thick. The walls of the Chinese
part of the city are 80 feet high. %
feet thick at the base and Is feet
thlch at the top. On the outer faces
OF the walls are square buttresses,
built at intervals OF 60 feet, and on
the top of these are guard houses
which are occupied by troops.

the Training of the Coming Men of

tMemphlS COmmeroIal-Appeal)
This is not, as one might imagine
from the caption, sweet-girl-grad-
uate essay. On the contrary, it is a
serious word to those who have the
training of the coming men of the
country. The American boy is
being ruined by the indulgence of his
mother" said a prominent educator
recently, speaking out of the fullness
Of his observation and regret. This
is a grave accusation, and yet there
is much reason in it. 1t would have
been more Just to have said that the
mother is helping to do the spelling,
rather than to put the whole blame
upon her, for the average American
father is not all ones fancy might
paint in the way of home discip-
linarian. Too often he is entirely
negligent Of his rightful share in the
government of the children. He is
tired or sleepy or nervous when he re-
turns from business, and declines to
be worried with the "small affairs of
the children. Nothing disagreeable
must enter into his tireside hours, so
the mother DEGREES, and so covers up
the faults and failings of the children.
1t may be in this very point that she
is most to be blamed, but probably she
knows best the man with whom she
has to deal. The average father,
when appealed to for support in en-
forcing discipline, is apt to take one
of two extremes: he is either too
severe or he repudiates any obliga-
ton in the matter, declaring the
mother must finish what she has
begun. But while all this is true
about the negligent fathers, the fact
remains that the best BOYS, the bows
who more fully meet the require
ments Of duty in all its lines, are
those whose mothers are good dis
ciplinarians. The utterly unseltish
mother may be very beautiful in
verse or fiction but in the household
she is often an unconscious blight
upon the better qualities of her chill
dren. In accepting for herself all of
the sacrifice and privation she warps
her boys nature awry, making him
selfish and unappreciative. No wo-
man need be selfish in her relations
with her sons; there is an even
handed give-and-take spirit that is
the acme Of good management. 1t is
the woman who exhibits this spirit.
who exacts her share of the family
comfort along with heaping meas
ure OF respect and consideration, who
rears the most reliable and self-help-
ful sons. This is the history of the
men who have made names for them
selves and honor for the nation.
Search the family records of eminent
men and it will be found that the
large majority of them had exacting
mothers; study the families in YOUR
neighborhood. and you will find the
firm, eNaeting mother is responsible
for the best boys. II it is true that
the American boy is being spoiled by
his mother, it is because of her unset
fish love for him. and the sooner she
controls this love the better for her
self and the boy.
