MIND THE MASTER.

Mans life unfolds, like the rose, from within. Mind is source of all.
 As the seed is. so is the flower: and as the state Of q mans mind is, so is his life.
 Mind is the master weaver ot des- tiny. Mind environs the man with conditions of it's own making. Out of the mind comes every word. ae. tion and achievement that make up ones life.
 No more pregnant words occur in Holy Writ than these: As a man thinketh in his heart. so is he.
 The main difference between mil lionaire and pauper is that one thinks in millions and the other ill pennies. The whole difference be tween poet and plowman lies in the inner mind.
 Every man Is where he is an5 what he is by reason of the the thoughts out of whicn he has made himself and his conditions. There is no deviation from the divine law that thought is the molder of cir cumstanees.
 The law of cause and effect is as absolute and immutable in the SC cret realm of the soul as i'll tho outer world of visible things.
 The lightest word, the faintes smile, the slightest impulsive action were first definitely framed i'll the mind.
 The most intricate mechanism ex isted first as thought. The grand est cathedral, the greatest work 0 man, was constructed out Of ; thought. Thought was the builder not the mechanic-like workmen Thought is the substance, not tht dead stones.
 Joy and sorrow. hope and de spair, courage and fear, love ant hate. enlightenment and ignorance the warp and wool of life--are no where but in the mind.

A Good Proposition.

Geo. Z. Rucker, one OF the
foremost good roads men in town,
and we don't know but the most
enthusiastic one, has asked us to
put this matter up to the people
of this city. His scheme. is for
the people along Military street
and in the business district to
pay so much a week into a fund
to keep a man and team busy
maintaining and building the
road south to the mines. The
road needs some repairs, and if a
man and team could be kept busy
on the road it would not be a
great while until a mighty good
thoroughfare could be made. II
need not cost anybody more thar
A small sum each week, say 25C
to 81, according to what a fellow
felt able to pay. We believe q
paper will be circulated for this
purpose, and the object sought tC
be accomplished is certainly q
worthy one.

Earlier in the day the battle over
the platform had occupied the close at
tention of delegates and spectators.
The platform as framed by the commit
tee on resolutions was read by its
chairman, Senator Hopkins OF Illinois,
while a minority report, rejecting the
views of the supporters OF Senator
La Toilette, was presented by Con
gresham Cooper OF Wisconsin. 1t
was on one hand the sledgehammer
blows of the Wisconsin men against
combinations and monopoly, and on
the other hand the warning of Hopkins
against the "socialistic doctrines OF
Wisconsin," The platform was adopt
ed by an overwhelming vote, after
many separate planks in the Wiscon-
sin plan had been buried under adj
verse votes.
Sherman for Second Place.
The nomination for the vice-presi-
dency was not made until Friday.
When the convention adjourned for
the day Thursday the situation re-
garding second place on the ticket was
decidedly unsettled, but before the del.
egates met Friday an arrangement had
been perfected for the Taft delegates
to support Representative James S.
Sherman of New York as the running
mate of the secretary of war.
Three names were placed in nomi-
nation when the chairman announced
that nominations were in order. Sher-
man was named as New YOrk's choice
by Tim Woodruff, former lieutenant
governor of the state; Gov. Curtis
Guild of Massachusetts was placed in
nomination by Senator Lodge, and Elk
Gov. Franklin Murphy of New Jersey
was named by Thomas N. McCarter.
Several brief %seconding speeches were
made for each candidate.
When the roll call was begun it was
soon seen that Sherman was the popu-
lar choice of the delegates. When
enough votes had been cast to insure
his nomination Senator Crane of
Massachusetts moved that it be made
unanimous and it was carried with a
shout of approval.
The usual motions of acknowledge
ment to the officers of the convention
and to the city in which it was held
were then passed.

ROOSEVELT DEMONSTRATION.
Delegates and Spectators Wildly Cheer
President for As Minutes.

The second day of the Republican
national convention brought the long
expected Roosevelt yell, a whirlwind OF
enthusiasm which ragged within the
vast amphitheater of the Coliseum for
full As minutes Wednesday, and for a
time presented to the timid the spec
ter of a Roosevelt stampede.
This demonstration was decidedly
the feature of a day otherwise notable
for a stirring speech from the perma-
nent chairman of the convention. Sen
ator Henry Cabot Lodge of Massachu-
sets. for much practical procedure
in placing the convention on a smooth
running basis, and for the final defeat
of the plan to reduce the representa-
ton of southern states at future ma
tional conventions.
Probably the most important act OF
the day, and the One having Creates
Significance, was the adoption OF the
report of the committee on credentials,
seating the Taft delegations practical
ly in toto. If there had been n
lingering doubt of the Taft strength 1t
disappeared before this decisive &C.
ion which in effect placed upwards OF
700 delegates in the Taft column.
Temporary Chairman Burrows
called the convention to order prompt
lv at 1920, but the delay of commit
tees In reporting gave an hour Tor Oil
version before the serious work OF the
day was begun. This time was given
over to the visiting clubs, with bands
and vocal choruses, bearing banners
and strange devices Of G.. 0. P. ele-
phants. In front of the delegates par
AIDED this motley throng, eliciting
laughter and applause.
For three-quarters Of an hour the
| tun7ult continued. and then Chairman
| Lodge finished his speech and the
business of tho convention was re-
| sumed.
Great Roosevelt Demonstration.
/ Mr.. Lodge early in his address
launched his sentence which electri-
fed the assemblage into its first real
demonstration of wild enthusiasm.
The president" exclaimed Mr..
Lodge, "'is the best abused and most
popular man in the United States to-
day"
This was the long awaited signal.
Instantly a shout broke from the gal
leries and was echoed back from the
floor, at first only a tempest Of de-
tached yells, and cat-calls, n shouts
of Teddy" but gradually gathering
force and volume until it swelled to a
whirlwind of sound and motion, as
delegates and spectators rose en-
masse, mounting chairs. waving ban
ners. hats. handkerchiefs. flags, news
papers, anything which could be seized
upon to add turbulence to the scene.

Chicago. For president of the

Taft on the first ballot; Taft by 7O2
votes; Taft by the unanimous choice

first ballot; Sherman by the unanl-
nous choice Of the convention.
This is the ticket the delegates to the
Republican national convention assem-
bled at Chicago have selected for pre-
sentation to the people at the Novem-
Der election.
The picture within the walls of the
vast amphitheater as the presidential
candidate was named Thursday was
one truly gradiose in it's magnitude.
In front, to the right and left, below
and above, the billoWing sea Of hui
mainly, restless after hours of wait
ing and stirred from one emotion to
another, was in a fever of expectancy
for the eliminating vote. The favorite
SON. of other states had been named,
save Knox and La Toilette, and now
on the roll call came Ohio.
Scene of Wild Enthusiasm.
AS the Buckeye state was reached,
the tall, gaunt form of Theodore E.
Burton, with student-like face and
severe black clerical garb, advanced to
the platform to nominate Ohio's can
didate. He spoke ~fervently, with the
singing voice of an evangelist, which
went ringing through the great build
ing. The close of his speech. OF
nomination was the signal for loosing
the long pent-up feeling of the Taft
Iegions. Instantly the Ohio delegates
were on fheir feet, other Taft states
following, while the convention hosts,
in gallery and on floor, broke into mad
demonstration.
Taft, Taft, w. H. Taft" came in
a roar from the Ohioans.
Megaphones seemed to spring from
concealed places and swell the Taft
tumult into thunder. A huge blue silk
hammer bearing the familiar features
of the MISUNDERSTANDING was swung
before the delegates, awakening a
fresh whirlwind of enthusiasm.
All semblance of order a been
abandoned and the delegates arena
was a maelstrom of gesticulating
men: the guidons of the states were
,snatched up by the Taft enthusiasts
or borne under by the storm OF dlsor'
der. The band was inaudible-a mere
whisper above the deafening volume
of sound. For ten. Is, ~ minutes
