DENVER, July 7.-As it appears to-
day chances are good that there will
be an old democratic ruction over the
naming of a. vice-presidential candi-
date. Of the hundred aspirants and ere
ceptive" candidates, the two most pop
ular and prominently mentioned are
Representative Ollie James of Ken

of Minnesota and Of New York.
There are only one or two absolute
facts connected with the situation. One
is If the delegates from New York
Will, or can, unite upon a candidate
that may be nominated. If New York
does not desire to avail itself of this
privilege Bryan will indicate his choice,
and whoever he names will be nomin-
ated.
Another fact is that even many rad
icals are desirous of naming conserv-
ative for second place.
George Fred Williams of Massachu-
setts, is responsible for James because
he would "cinch" the southern vote
and is a great orator.
There is a strong suspicion that

understanding with Bryan on the vice

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, July T.
Between shore lines banked with
thousands Of cheering people and to a
martial accompaniment of laundering
guns, which belched forth their deaf
ening farewells from Fort Baker anl
Fort Mason. the battleship fleet passed
through Golden Gate this afternoon
and stood out to sea in a magnificently
imposing line on it's course toward
Honolulu and the distant seas of the
far east.
The passing of the battleship fleet
through the Golden Gate witnessed
not only the beginning OF the last long
leg of its circumnavigating cruise, but
is also the first of a series of move
ments of the nations war vessels
which will place every effective fight
ing ship of the navy in foreign waters
this fall.
Patriotic Demonstration.
The farewell to the fleet vividly re-
called the demonstration of patriotic
sentiment and the magnificent recep-
ton it was given when two months
ago, it steamed into San Francisco. at
the end of it's world famous cruise
around the Horn.
Hundreds of steam and sailing craft
packed with wildly cheering people
formed in lines on either side of the
channel. while the neighbOring hillsides
were black with cheering humanity
Led by the flagship Connecticut, the
ponderous ships leaving their anchor
ages swung gracefully into line, and
taking their positions at regular inter-
walls. steamed slowly out toward the
Golden Gate in single column.
When opposite Fort Baker, a puff OF
smoke rent with flame, spurted from
the bridge deck of the Connecticut
and the crash of a gun spoke out the
farewell of the fleet to it's own country
1t was not until the reverberating
echoes from the last saluting gun had
rumbled off into silence, that the thou
sands of blue jackets who had stood
like statues at quarters, gave vent to
their suppressed feelings in tremendous
cheers.
The crowds on shore, taking up
the lusty cheers of the nations sea
fighters. sent back across the waters
a deafening roar of wild hurrahs. Not
until the ships were hull down on
the horizon did the multitude of spec
tators commence to disperse.

cruise to Australia. and AS1atlc
waters extends only to Manila and

DRUGS AND CRIME.

Chloroform, ether, morphine, CO.
caine and a number of other modern
discoveries in organic chemistry are
among the greatest boons that have
been given the human race. Little
more than half a century ago the
scenes behind the lines on the battle
field, where the surgeons were forced
to treat gaping wounds and amputate
shattered limbs with the victims fully
conscious, unless the pain made
them unconscious, were worse than
the scenes of carnage on the fight
ing lines.
With the discovery of the anaesthe-
tics, the horrors of the surgeons knife
passed away. The patient is now put
to sleep and never feels pain while the
scalpel exprores the region of the
most sensitive nerves in it's quest for
the cause of disease and pain. Fur
ther. the surgeon is enabled to under
take and carry operations out sue
cessfully which could never be at
tempted were the patient conscious.
; But this boon to the sick bed of the
sufferer from accident or acute disease
has been wrested from its proper
function and with the connivance OF
| the dispenser of drugs is used as q
means of dissipation.

may with a little assistance be enabled
to break the habit and may again set
his feet on the path Of sobriety and
self-respect But there is little If any
hope for the man or the woman who
falls a victim to the drug habit.
Whisky attacks the mental and moral
qualities of the human animal last

opiates. begin by destroying the men
tai and moral functions first of all.
The dope f1end'' cares nothing for any
of the things which the normal man
respects and'reverences. It seems as
if the drug divorces the veneer of
civilization; divorces all sense OF
decency, all respect for law and hu-
man ties, and leaves but a sad brood

any crime, and who seeks whom he
