The Sun -diaI's Motto.

If YOU want your life to run without
friction adopt the sun-diars motto. Il
record but hours of sunshine"
What a great thing it would be If we
could only learn that the art of WlplnG
out Of our memories forever every thing
brings up bitter memories and unfCrtu-
nate associations and depressing, discour-
aging suggestions. would double and
quatllnlple our happiness and power. If
we could only keep the mind filed with
beautiful thoughts, thoughts which uplift
and encourage, the efficiency of our lives
would be multiplied many, many times.
No mind can do good work when cloud
ed with unhappy thoughts. The mental
sky must be clear or there can be no en-
thusiasm, no brightness, clcarness, or
efficiency in our mental work.
If you would do the maximum of which
you are capable, keep the mind filled "tl
sunshine, with beauty and truth, with
cheerful, uplifting thoughts. Bury every
thing that makes you unhappy and dis
cordant every thing that cramps youl
| freedom, that worries you, before it bulics
you.
Man was not made to express discord
but harmony; to express beauty, truth
love and happiness; Wilderness, not 1alf-
ness. completeness, not lncnmpleteneSS
The mental temple was not given us
for the storing of low base mean things
1t was intended for the abode of the gods
for he treasuiing Of high purposes, CRANE
aims. noble aspirations.
1T does not take very long to learn that
the good excludes the bad; that the high
Ell always shuts out the lower; that tbs
greater motive. the grander affection
excludes the lesser. the lower. The gooc
is more than match for the bad.-Suc-

CANNON CALLS
BRYAN A BOSS
SENSATIONAL CHARGE MADE AT
ILLINOIS REPUBLICAN STATE
CONVENTION.
SPEECHES BY HOUSE RULER
AND SHAW THE MAIN AT.
FRACTIONS.

Springfield, H., Sept. I0.-With two
national figures in kp1erican politics
present, Joseph G. Cannon and Leslie
M. Shaw, both leaders in the councils
OF the republican party, the repub-
Means OF Illinois met in state con
yention Yesterday. Both OF these
gentlemen made stirring speeches.
1t was the first republican state
convention under the new primary
law and tae business transacted was
largely perfunctory. The selection of
four trustees for the University of
Illinois, the naming of presidential
electors at large and the adoption of
a platform was all the business trans
acted
Speaker Cannon was chairman of
the convention and made a speech in
which he attacked the record of the
democratic party and referred TO Mr..
Bryan as the great American boss. .
He called attention to the action of
the St. Louis convention in 1904. in
denouncing the Panama canal legis.
lation
In referring TO Bryans policy of
tariff for revenue only, the speaker
said the doctrine was one which was
shot to pieces during the civil war.
1t is a doctrine, he declared, which
creates a condition of servile labor.
1t was one of the main features of
the confederate constitution. one of
the purposes of which was to main
tain the servile condition of working
people.
Cannon spoke for some time on
the anti-injunction plank of the dem
ocratic platform, pointing out that it
provides for class legislation. Clos
ing he said:
If my constituents send me back
to the house of representatives,
never, never, never, while water runs
or grass grows, will vote for a law
that shall apply TO one man any diff
ferent law than that which shall ap
ply to another"
Shaw made the keynote speech and
reviewed the platforms of the demo
cratic party since 1892 He said the
republican party believes in repre-.
sentative government and not pure
democracy
Mr.. Shaw was followed by Senator
Hopkins Governor Deneen and other
speakers. The platform deals mostly
with state affairs, but applauds the
work of President Roosevelt, endorses
the national ticket, praises Senator
Cullom and commends Speaker Can
mons performance of duty.
The question of local option or per
sonal liberty is not mentioned in the
platform, the committee on resolu-
lions deciding that the best way to
treat those two questions was TO ig
more them.
The resolutions also endorse Seua-
tor Hopkins. Governor Deneen and
all other state officers and congress.
sional nominees. They also commend
the course of Deneen's administration
in the matter of state institutions and
all other particulars.
John Anderson of Chicago and Wal
ter Reeves of STeator were nomi-
mated for presidential electors at
large by reclamation.
Laura b. Evans of Tayloryille, Ar
thur Meeker of Chicago, A. P. Grant
of Winchester and Allen F. Moore of
Monticello were nominated for trus-
tees Of the University of Illinois.
