From the ballroom windows the glare

Although all of US may probably
never obtain a glimpse of them, still
as good Americans proud of every
thing that has made the land famous,
we should join in a vote of thanks to
Governor Odell for vetoing the bill
that had as it's object destruction of
Niagara falls. There should be a
limit to utilitarianism and it seems
to have been reached when attempt
was made to destroy one of the great
est and grandest sights a beneficent
nature gave to man for his contem-
plation and admiration. Retention OF
a little sentiment in the everyday
affairs of the world should be encour-
aged.

FOR HEARST DOES
THIS IOWA MAN SPEAK

Seeonding >Hearst's nomination. Mr.
Rinehart OF iowa, said:
The man who deserves the nomination
of this convention knows that a Iaborer
is something more than the minion of a
money nagnate who fattens on his
Drawn; something more than retainer for
the trust baron who lives in castle built
by the exaetions OF a robber tariff. He
will have more regard for the thousand
girls who toll in a factory than he has
for the owner of the factory who lives in
a palace and negotiates q aecayed foreign
title in exchange for the virtue OF his
daughter.
We need another Moses. Once more We
need a man clothed with God-lilSe power
and armed with righteous might to lead
boudaged people to the light. We need
again to break the hardened heaTt-to
rescue from the. clutch of greed the Nber-
ties of men.
In the name of the issue of human
rights which was first spoken into be-
ing by the orf1nipotent fat of Jehovah
and in behalf of the millions of people in
this country who earn their bread by the
sweat of their faces. second the nominal
ton of a man who ernbodies all the peten-
tialities that make a champion Of the
the average man. I second the nominal
ton of man great enough TO know the
issue and courageous enough to meet 1t; q
man who for twenty years has fought the
good fight and kept the faith: who has
been in the fore front OF every battle for
fire of the enemy without f1inching and
from whom ell the poisoned shafts OF
malicious envy ard malignant caiuinny
have glanced hasnleSsiy because he wears
the arlaer of eternal right. I second the
nomination Of William Randolph Hearst.
