DEMOCRATIC STATE CONVENTION,
Meets in Milwaukee Yesterday and dominates
Ticket.

From The Sentinel.
For utter lack of spirit and enthuSi-
asm the Democratic state convention
held in the PabSt theater yesterday
afternoon and evening will be long
remembered. Despite the fact that
there was no "slate" prearragend out
side of that which decreed Louis
Gustav BOhmrich was to be the
governor, and the further fact that an
ugly fight occurred over the state chair
manship the delegates seemed to take
but languid interest in the proceed
ingS and appeared to be generally glad
when the convention adjourned. In
comparison with the highly enthuSi-
aStic convention which nominated r.
NJ. La Toilette at the Exposition
building two weeks ago, the Bourbon
gathering yesterday was absolutely
spiritlesS. The personnel of the CON
ventiOn was, with a few exceptions,
entirely lacking in strong characters
and natural leaders. There were few
if any present comparable to the
Democratic leaders of Old-tO eX-
Senator w. F. Villas, Gen. E. S. Brag,
Burr w. Jones and such Old-time
brainy stars of the party.

which made Bryan the candidate of
the Chicago convention four years ago
and which nearly killed the party, is

Gratis during the coming campaign is
shown by the fact that there is no
| specific reference to it in the plat
form. The plank reaffirming the
Kansas City platform is the only one
that refers indirectly to the issue.
The convention adopted resolution

Importance of Newspapers.
Newspaper Union.

ANCNcpdpCI Hull
A great many publishers of country
weeklieS apparently lose sight of the
fact that the publishing of news
paper is a legitimate business enter
prise, and OF as much Importance in a
strictly business sense as any mercan-
tile or manufacturing institution in
the place. The town, in fact, could
better dispense with any two of it's
best business enterprises than with its
newspaper. If the community does
not appreciate this fact, the editor
himself is usually to blame. While it
is not necessary for him to become
'SWelled up over d realization of his
Importance, he should nevertheless
seek to inspire in the minds of his
fellOW-buSineSS men degree of respect
and to maintain his standing as
BETTING one of the important person
ages of the town. Pointers make the
very sensible assertion that every
newspaper should teach its patrons
that it does not exist by grace of pub
llc charity: that it gives an equivalent
value for every dollar it receives and
that it has right to ask for the
money due it. Do not allow yourself
to be forced into the position of a
mcndicant. Maintain your self-respect
at all hazards, and in no better way
can this be done than through the
adoption and enforcement of strict
business methods in all dealings with
the public,

Something Funny Coming Next,

Elmer Walters is presenting a
comedy entitled, Where is Cobb?
which will be seen at the Grand Opera
House, Wednesday, Aug. %. 1t is a
connection in three acts and concerns
the efforts of one L. Cobb, who is a
strong-minded man from Jersey to
throw off the mask Of his son, Phillip,
who has represented himself to his
father as in needy circumstances.
Phillip is married to beautiful
actress, who having received a star
part at New York Theatre decides
to conceal the fact of her marriage in
hope of receiving increased popularity.
Upon the arrival of Leander Cobb,
who is not aware that there is more
than one family named Cobb, living in
the same house, meets, and mistakes
the janit0r'S wife, Mrs. Cobb, who is
large, and hOmely for his daughter-in-
law. The action after that contains
no end of comic complications. The
Jersey father makes love to his real
daughter-in-law, which causes jealousy
on the part of his son. Leander Cobb
is confronted with bills incurred by
Phillip, for brandy, baths, etc. He
meets Phillips German grocer, the
Irish butcher, the tough gas man, and
after seeing the LIE Feyre Twins and
insulting Bill Cobb, the janitor, and
Ferdydand Prynce, an actor of the old
school, he is finally incarcerated.

only three days rationS left when the

of the spoils,a question which is
paramount with all the great nations
