Roosevelt. A banner bearing
the Roosevelt portrait and waved
from the gallery was the signal
for the change.
A UNIQUE SITUATION.
Amid the pandemonium and
with the galleries in full control,
Chairman Lodge ordered the roll
call of States to begin for the
vote on President. Such a call,
under such circumstances, has
probably never before occurred
in the history of national conven-
tions. A ballot was taken to
nominate a candidate for Presi-
dent while the convention was
cheering frantically for a man
whose name had not been pre-
sented to the convention. The
votes were being counted for
Taft while the people were shout
ing for Roosevelt. The delegates,
however, cast their votes un-
influenced by the clamor Of the
crowd. More than this, the first
States on the call-Alabama and
Arkansas had been relied upon
by a few Roosevelt enthusiasts
to start the stampede for the
President, but they held by their
instructions while the stampede
ragged all about them.
Selling a megaphone the secre-
tary shouted the roll call Of States
Alabama Arkansas his
voice was swallowed up in the
mad uproar. Gradually, how
ever, the curiosity of the multi
tude conquered their enthusiasm,
and they lapsed into silence to
hear the result of the roll call.
OHIO RINGS THE BELL.
A hush of expectancy hung
over the assembly as the call pro-
ceeded. Hasty summaries show
ed that Taft was far in advance
When New York was reached the
Taft column totalled 427. Ohio
carried the Taft total to 511, OF
20 more than enough to nominate
Still the call went on until the fl
nal result was announced b!
Chairman Lodge.
A great shout went up as Lodg'
concluded his announcement, ant
with one accord the cohorts O
Cannon and Knox, and Hughe
and the other heroes, joined in

RAILWAYS UNITECOUNTRY


Than Brotherhood or Common
Interest Transportation Lines
Have Created Strong Union.
Leslie's Weekly.
The Southern railways, more
than brotherhood, knitted the
North and South together after
the war. The railways gave
prosperity to the South by en-
couraging immigration and bring
ing in people to help do the up
building. Memphis twenty years
ago had a population of $4,000.
To-day it has 100000. The rail
ways did it. A few years ago
hundreds of places in Louisiana,
like Crowley, for example, were
only prairie land. The Sonth-
ern Pacific built a station at
Crowley, and to-day that place
boasts of 1000 persons. Other
railroads did the same thing for
a hundred other thriving places
in the Southern States. The
Southern Railway went into the
waste places Of the South and
caused towns to spring up. The
Seaboard Air Line went into a
country Of blasted hopes, and
built up new industries, and with
them new courage. To a region
of penury the Atlantic Coast
Line brought plenty-by putting
cash into circulation where nc
cash had been before. The
Southern Railway gave the eX-
act service necessary for the
healthy development Of the
States through which it runs. Ii
not only created new industries
but itself became the chief Gus
toner for the products of the
} new mills.
: The South needed $500, ZOO. .OO(

Monday Game,

Devils Lake took the third and last
game of the series with Lakota at the
Chautauqua last Monday by a score
of to 8. The victory was won on its
merits and successive hitting at the
right time. Big Chief Gardner start
ed the pitching for the home team but
the Lakota gang got to his benders
and he was trotted to the shade where
he could watch the rest of the per-
Torrance and Argersinger was sub
stituted and he added another game
to his long list Of victories. When
Gardner. was taken from the box the
game was practically lost for the locals
but Arge stopped the fireworks and
the boys settled down and played ball
and won the game through hard hit
ting and sensational fielding. This
makes eight straight games that the
home team have won and it now looks
as though the visiting teams will have
poor shedding for the remainder of the
summer as our team is in fine condi.
ton and every one Of them working
hard. The pitchers are all in good
condition and almost every one OF
the boys are hitting above two hund
red and some are in the three humid

GOVERNOR BURKE
SPOKE WEDNESDAY
Democratic Day at !Chautauqua.-
Prominent Denis. Present

Wednesday was democratic day at
the 'Chautauqua and was given over
mostly to speakers of that party. 1t
had been hoped by those who had the
program in charge that they would be
able to get either Bryan or Gov. John
son here for the afternoon address but
they were unable to do so.
The attendance in the afternoon was
not very large and was made up most,
~ of ladies. Addresses were delivered
by John B. Benton, Fargo; J. L. Cashel,
candidate for U. S. Senate; T. B.
Casey, candidate for Congress; o. G.
Major, candidate for congress; w. A.
Godward, candidate for State Supt. of
Schols, and others. The usual demo.
cratic tariff thunder was prevalent
The banking question came In for Its
share of consideration. The ladies
we're told about the proposition of ar.
bitration between labor and capital
and we're much moved thereby. The
!. democratic orators told how to stop
, all waste, and. do everything necessary
to make an ideal government and
promised if the people would only
elect them ito see to 1t that all their
reforms were carried into force.
|, In, the evening the auditorium was
about half filled to hear Gov. John
Burke of this city speak. The COVER.
nor in his customary eloquent manner
kept the audience In close attention
throughout the time allotted to him
for his address. Mr.. Burke did not
touch upon the campaign issues to any
extent but confined his remarks more
.5partic ularly to- the respo nsibility that
as placed upon a public official and the
necessity Of these officials discharging
their official duties as they should.
The governor sal id st't5W are all part Of
the government and the Responsible
|ity or the government rests equally
upon u.s. He alluded to the trust that
the people repose In d public official
when he u elected. ana to the oath
that an official must take pom en-
tering his Office, % properly discharge
the duties Of the same. ne stated that
II governors and other a iicials violate
their oaths II not 20 be expected

people fail to have the proper respect
for the laws of the land, and gave as
a reason for this that the people were
too much prone to think that because
this was free government they
should be allowed to do as they pleas
ed without regard to their neighbors.
| He referred to Lincoln and said that
he was not troubled with trusts, cor
porations, railroad legislation, etc.,
and said that if these things made
laws necessary it also made their
enforcement necessary. He made ref
erence to the three branches of gov
eminent; that of the legislative, which
make the laws, the judicial, which in
| terprets the laws and the executive
| which enforces them. One branch of
| the government Is not responsible for
the acts of the other If a law is a
good one or bad one is not in the
province of the judicial or executive
to determine, that is the business Of
the legislative branch, and If it is
bad the only remedy is the legisla-
ture and there is the place to seek the
remedy.
| In conclusion he called attention to
the fact that it was the duty Of a
governor to use every influence he
could bring to bear to enforce the
laws as they we're framed by the legis-
lature, not part of them, but all of
them. This he was under oath to do
and was doing to the best of his
ability

CHARACTER IN WALKING.
Traits Which Are Readily Disclosed
BY Ones Gait

by Ones Gait.
s9rhere's q conceited man coming
down the street." said the girl in the
group on corner. How do l know 2
BY his walk. I can tell the chief trait
Of any PERSONS character by watching
him or her walk For instance, II a
man walks with heavy lift to his
hips he's sure to be obstinate. If he
sinks down a little on his heels he has
a comforta BILE attitude toward life and
the world in generaEin fact, he's a bit
lazy. That woman coming down the
street now is gossip, Any one could
tell that because Of her mincing, fussy
gait. Indecision is the chief character
istic Of that woman's character across
the street. Don't you see how she
swings her foot rather hesitatingly In
the air before she puts it down?
'The man who walks with his knees
leading Is sure to be Of the ptous type
the disagreeably piois type, I mean.
You see that old codger who is Cross
ing the road with his stomach seem
ing to lead the rest Of him-well, of
course it Is evident that feeding is his
chief delight. When an intellectual
man walks his head leads. That girl
who sways SO Is self conscious Yes,
that girl going down the street has q
pretty walk, gliding and quiet, but
watch out for her: she is treacherous
IN the extreme
'oThe man who puts his feet down
especially solidly is heavy and some
what stupid. That little person Cross
ing the road with a quick. clean step
Is energy personiaed, but he has the
sort Of energy which has no regard for
the rights or feelings Of others. The
girl coming out Of that store has an
ugly streak in her nature. Don't you
see how she puts her foot down IN
willingly as If she were saying: Z
WON'T I won't! I shouldn't advise
any man to marry her.
"Of course don't pretend to know
thoroughly PERSONS character by his
walk, but I do discover his FREEDOM
mating characteristic"
