BEVERlDGE SECONDS ROOSEVELT
Indiana's Junior Senator Makes ar
Eloquent Address,

the nomination of Roosevelt. He said
one difference between the opposition
and ourselves is this: They select their
candidate for the people and the people
select our candidate for us.
This was true four years ago when we

William Mckinley, whose perfect minging
of mind and heart. of wisdom and of ten

ton then and makes almost holy his mem
DRY now. HIS power was in the peoples
favor. his shrine is in the peoples hearts.
1t is true today when we again accept
the peoples judgment and name Theodore
Roosevelt. whose sympathies are as wide
as the republic, whose courage, honesty
and vision met all emergencies. and the
sum of whose qualities make him the type
of twentieth century AmeriCaniSm. And

ACCLiMATlZiNG PLAN rs.
A Woman's Success With n dollhouse
Palms in an Ordinary Atmo sphere.


New York sun This woman tried to
raise palms ana other indoor plants
in the usual way, only to see them live
for q short while in her gas lit house
and then pine away. She had no con-
seryatory and no means of reproducing
In her own house the atmosphere from
which the flowers were taken. She be-
gan to wonder after while if it would
not be possible TO take the plants at a
very early age and aCclimatiZe them to
the air of an ordinary house and make
It possible for them to flourish in that
atmosphere. She resolved to make the
experiment, believing that it was the
sudden transfer from the dollhouse to
the drawing room that caused them to
die.
She began with two or three very
young palms bought from q nursery
man, After the first few days in the
house it looked as if they too would
succumb. and it was more than a
month before they showed signs Of i'm
proving. To this day these original
palms are in ner possession, although
she has grown and sold many others
since to he.c friends eager to get hold of
plants which grew SO well in the ordi
nary house atmosphere. The plants
were not suddenly brought from the
hothouse to the house. but We're trained
to the house atmosphere or succumbed
| In tha effort Few of them ever did
| succumb, however, and there is de-
mand always for as many of these

But soon the old man was laid up
with pleurisy and pneumonia. For

that Bonds cab-driving days are over.

Fifty years ago the republican party
came into existence, dedicated among
other purposes, to the great task of ar
resting the extension of human slavery.
In 1860 it elected its first president.
During twenty-four of the forty-four
years which have elapsed since the cleo
ton of Lincoln. the republican party
has held complete control of the gov
eminent. For eighteen more of the
forty-four years it has held partial
control through possession of one or

period has held complete control for
only TWO years.

ct was very close to the end of the year
1850 that the last of the Filipino insur-
gent armies was effectually defeated,
and the battalions that formed its
strength were scattered among the noun
tains of Northern Luzon as guerrilla
bands.
American soldiers garrisoned the prin-
cipal towns along the coast, but the dis
lance between them was sometimes more
than days travel.
Thus, the traveller who cared to risk
the dangers of the road, had sometimes

Natives and Americans alike warned
me of the dangers of capture from in
