For years the national party conven.
tons were held In Baltimore moro fro.
Quently than In any other city. This
was Mt the time when the center of
population was In Maryland or in old
Virginia. The present center OF popu.
ladon Is In southeastern Indiana. ST.
Louis and Chicago, the cities In which
the national conventions are to be held
,nis year. are west of the center, but
they are nearer to 1t than any other
considerable cities save Cleveland, Gin
clhnau' indianapolis and Louisville.
chicago has displaced Baltimore as the
favorite convention city. Lincoln was
nominated there, and so were Grant
Garfield, Blaine, Harrison. Bryan and

Not few fathers hurt their sons
and damage the careers Of those sons
by picking out careers for them. Train
up the boy in the way he should go,
and then let him choose his own work.
In the choice Of vocation, as in the
choice Of a wife, every young man
should be left alone. If he is not
worthy of being left alone the parent
has grievously injured the boy in the
preceding decade of his life. These in
terpretations mean that I would not
educate my boy under a private tutor.
l would educate my boy with boys, al
though not entirely by boys. Boys.do,
however, educate boys; but boy who
Is trained alone Is liable to fall in ad.
justing himself to his membership in
humanity. He Is to become a broth
er Of the common lot He therefore
should learn early how to adjust him.
self to his fellows. Neither would ]
educate my son abroad; he is an Amer.
lean boy. 1 should be glad to have
him get all that Is best from the pri
vate school In Lausanne or Geneva
but not for one instant would l have
his ideals formed by the French mas
ter or his methods by the German. A
primary note in his character should
be the American, although note more
fundamental is the human. He is, as
human boy, to he trained up FOR ser
vice in this great, interesting, new life
Of our new world.

Your father can remember a 7 per
cent government bond served as sort
of interest standard. OF course, 1t was
a gilt-edged security, but per cent for
money was considered about the
proper figure. That was not very long
ago. 1t was in day when the public
debt of the nation, measured by the
resources of the people, was a heavy
burden. Now we have 2 per cent
bonds. In fact, more than half Of our
bonds are 2 per cent securities. In
the face Of thousand alluring invest
ments, including farm mortgages and
municipal bonds, the government can
have all the money 1t wants at 2 per
cent. Your share of the interest on the
public debt is "a cents annually. Your
share of the interest-bearing debt is
S11. We piled up millions of liabili-
ties during the Spanish war, and yet
the total of the public debt is less than
the capital of the Steel Corporation;
less than the total amount of life in
surance credited to at least two con-
Germs. The interest-bearing debt on
Dec. 81, 1908, was 1901, TAI, ,22O. Eleven
dollars per head. In Great Britain the
debt is $75 per capita, and in Holland
1t Is 500. France has a national debt
30 great that each inhabitant owes
$loO. The ray Of sunlight there is the
ract that France has borrowed from
the people and there ia no danuar of
foreign creditors foreclosing mort
gage on that country. Argentina owes
$12S per capita, and Australasia S283.
We talk much Of our natural resources,
our loyal people and our new navy.
Don't forget that one of our greatest
items Of strength in foreign lands is
our financial standing. The nation with
unlimited credit with big treasure
chest Is In a position to command and
direct and influence. Financially. the
United States has no competitors.

West and the structures which the
flames attacked were burned to the
ground. Here 1t is different. All
through the burned district the mas
sive skeletons Of architectural giants
remain. Hundreds Of ugly-looking
frames Of steel, with blackened bricks
clinging to them, make a forbidding
sight. After the progress of the fire
had been checked these looked like
great coke ovens, with tongues Of
flame leaping from them. The walls
had the color Of coke. For days there
after clouds Of smoke hung over them.

wire crossed and recrossed the streets.

and huge timbers while the flames
were sweeping the town. Crumbling
walls still swayed in the breeze, en-
dangering the lives of those who ven
tured too near. BY day the scene was
one Of chaos. At night it was weird.

The smallness of the speculative position now open was thus clearly indicated the approach of a holiday usually prompting speculators to close up their accounts.
