Senator Morgan on the Issues

Senator Morgan, the most illus
trious of southern democrats, is in
Washington and in response to an
interview speaks in high terms of the
personal character of Judge Parker
and ex-senator Davis, and of the
platform. He says:
''No question that is presented in
the platform can be considered as
paramount over any other question,
except in proportion to its influence
upon the safety and prosperity of the
country. Honesty, decency and i'm
Partially in the conduct of the gov
eminent; legislation for the common
good and general welfare, within the
limits of the constitution and honest,
faithful and unquestioned obedience
TO law are the paramount questions
for which the united democracy is
now forced to contend by the usurpa-
ton, maladministration and gross
disobedience of the law by the repub-
lican party under the issue and
dominion of Mr.. Roosevelt"

ASKING for srssd is Given stone.

In an article recently we stated
that we were one of the conscientious
advocates of the Chicago platform but
wanted to enthuse on Parker and to
that end sought the aid and asked the
sympathy of our democratic brethren
of the press.
As specimen of the sympathy that is
doled out to us we quote the follow
ing item from the Hartford Conn }
Times which item is quoted APPROX
ingly by many democratic newspapers
of the country:
For eight years our political at
mosphere has been full of miasmatic
vapors of populism and socialism.
Many voters have been blinded by
the smoke of bimetalism or chOked
by the fumes of the nOstrum factories
which have been working overtime in
the name of democracy. Now the
air Is clearing and the mountain peaks
of democratic truth are again in view"
"What fools we mOrtals be-" will
apply with considerable force to the
Hartford Conn., Times species of
democrats.
The paramount desire just now of
the democratic party Is party har-
not to secure it is TO cast sIurs upon
those who have been loyal to its stand
ard by the miserable camp followers
in its arm.

GIRLS BRAVE FIGHT FOR
LIFE PROVES UNAVhIuHG
Peaceful Passing of Opal Car
michael Robs Death Scene of
Its Morbidity.
UNCONSCIOUS AT THE. END
Grief of Mother Seemingly Is
Greater than Sufferings Which
Eternal Sleep Ended.

After one OF the bravest fights for life
that physicians at the Deaconess Hospital
have ever witnessed pretty Opal Carni-
chael, who was horribly burned last Thurs
day morning, died az the Deaconess Hos
pitaI at $40 o'clock yesterday afternoon.
Tie girl was unconscious for many hours
prior TO her death.
Ever since the girl, terribly burned and
delirious from suffering, was taken to the
hospital on the fatal Thursday morning,
her mother watched over her daughter,
hoping that by some miracle the life of
her loved one would be saved. When the
end came peaceabiy yesterday afternoon
the woman, worn by her long vigil and
grief, collapsed and for some time was in
a dangerous condition.
Death-bed scenes are not uncommon in
the hospital and the attendants, in a way.
become hardened to them, but Opal Car
michael. by her fight against death, had
won the admiration of all in the hospital
and the stricken mother was not alone IN
her grief for her only daughter.
On the stands and mantelpieces and IN
the corners Of the room in which the SUI
fering girl lay beautiful flowers, the gifts
OF her many friends, lay thickly. Many OF
the flowers were sent by people who did
not know the girl. but who, reading OF her
made for her life, sent the flowers with
the hope that they would Tighten her few
remaining hours.
During the two days and nights that the
girl lay unconscious at the hospital scarce
ly an hour passed without note of in
quiry arriving from some friend, or flowers
to take the place Of withered ones.
'It seemed" one of the nurses at the
hospital said last night, that everyone in
Indianapolis was interested in the brave
little girl"
The remarkable struggle made by the
girl for life in the face of her dreadful in
juries surprised the physicians. For the
entire time she was in the hospital before
her death scarcely moan escaped her.
When conscious she was cheerful, in spite
of the awful suffering she experienced.

for the future. Last night all was changed.
Watched over by kind neighbors, the moth

Lying in plain white coffin at the under

showed no traces of her terrible suffering
or OF the awful burns she had received.
The body will be taken to Greenfield for
burial on Tuesday after short funeral serv-

Crowds at Washington and Illinois streets
were puzzled last night at the actions of

At the noise Of a passing automobile he
grew frantic and chung TO the coat of the
nearest pedestrian.
The latter happened to be Dorsey Seal
of III North Alabama street. Mr. Seal was
one OF the crowd WHICH watched the move
ments of the stranger.
Many persons associated his presence at
the Claypool Hotel corner with the presence
of Madame PATHS retinue at the hotel but
they were deceived. The man was an Aus
trian and had been in this country but
two weeks. half Of this time being spent
in indianapolis.
His name, which was written on a card
which he carried. is Franco Sodwino. and
he lives at 7i0 Warman avenue.
From the day he stepped from the steer
age Of an ocean liner 10 his arrival in this
city. he had never seen the business dis
trict after nightfall, and lights and scenes
at the busy corner naturally alarmed him.

Although Mr.. Seal appreciated the spirit

of thanks. The stranger works at the Ma
