A meeting was held late this even

during which the situation was fully

reached that it was futile to continue
the fight in view of New York's mac
ton.
The heated contest in the PennSvlva-

fey, but his victory. his enemies claim,
is less significant than might appear
The hopes of the Bryan men are CEN
tered on the nine contesting delegates
from Pennsylvania. AS all of the con-
tcstants are Bryan men it is practically
assured of being created by the Bryan
committee on credentials and once
seated, Mr.. Guffey's victory Of today
may be succeeded by Mr.. Bryan's. final
triumph tomorrow, according to the
calculations of the Bryan men. Against
this, however, Guffey secured the sig
natures today of 10 Pennsylvania dcie-
gates whose seats are uncontcStcd and
who have an undiSputcd majority of
the 6S Pennsylvania votes regardless
of contest.
Interest is turning tonight to the
opening session of the convention,
which begins at noon tomorrow. The
appointment Of the committees on
credentials, rules and permanent or
gaEiZation, will be followed by the
presentation of resolutions for the
memory of Grover Cleveland. Judge
Parker has prepared a new draft of
these resolutions. completely eliminat-

disposition on the part of any one of
Parker resolutions owing to the feeling
created by its carly provisions. it will
not be presented.
Tomorrows proceedings will be brief,
and after the preliminary organization
is effected, an adjournment will be
taken as a mark of respect to Mr..
Cleveland.

vision, is now quoted as being
opposed to that measure. Sometime
before the meeting at Topeka, Mr..
Hurt told the editor OF this paper
that he would use his utmost en-
deavors to have guarantee plank
in the state platform and that if he
failed in that he would announce
himself as favorable to the measure,
during the campaign, from the
stump.
However, Mr.. Hurt at the state
conference was appointed on the
platform committee and was in the
front of the fight for this measure.
Senator Long and Congressman
Calderhead opposed the measure
vigorously, but Stubbs, Bristow,
Hurt and others made a vigorous
fight and the plank was adopted.
1t is now up to the papers and
the parties who misrepresented Mr..
Hurt In this matter to make the
proper corrections and appoligies.

Strange Accident.

Samuel Smith, living northwest o.
this city, met with a frightful acct
dent last Monday that would ordi-
narlly be considered fatal, yet Mr.
Smith is expected to get well.
He brought load of nay to town
aud was driving span OF mules and
in making turn to get on the
Wickard scales the mules gave a
sudden side lurch and upset the
wagon.
Bystanders saw the accident but at
firsS did not see what had become OF
the driver. He was soon discovered
IN the ditch, little to one side, with
one tine Of his hay fork driven
through his head, the tine entering
near the point of his jaw passing
through hls head, then protruding
through his skull at the top of the
bead. It took the combiped efforts of
several men 20 remove the fork.
The FORK had evidently slid off the
load handle first and Mr.. Smith fell
on the tines.
It is a very serious wound but the
physicians say he Is likely to recover
II there is no poisonous infection from
the fork tines.
Mr.. Smith showed great fortilude
during the efforts of the men to re-
move the fork and while his wounds
we're being dressed.

Why Mrs. SnOWden is a
SUffraGiSt.

English women who figured In the
recent fight for suffrage have been
criticized for their actions, but what
eyer THAR behavior might have beer,
for the most part they had at heart
the welfare and betterment OF their
people-the downtrodden and op-
pressed, as is shown in this article
from an exchange:
Mrs. SGowden, an English suffra-
gette, now In the Uaited States, in
stating why she became a leader In
the movement said that when a stu
dent at college she happened to hear
Dr. Asked, one cveniDg when his topic
was "Can a mao on pound a week
be Christian" So clearly did he
portray the sad economic conditions
prevailing that she then and there
resolved, so soon as her college work
was completed, to devote herself to
helping ia needed reforms. Her first
public work was in helping the mil
lion pledge crusade; during this she
visited the worst slum quarters in
Liverpool and was once robbed in
open daylight; but she Is now glad for
she was clad In furS aud ornaments,
and 80 was insulting those poor, starv-
ing persons. At that time she learned
that hundreds Of thousands have no
opportunity to earn a living. She
passed by as indescribable the milts 8
upon miles Of huts, unsuited even for
beasts to live in, yet inhabited each
by eight, ten and dozen people, who
have never known better ccsditions
and are wholly unaware OF their own
degradation.
To relieve this poverty and distress
Mrs Snowden is devoting her life, in
preaching, In public addresses, and by
private energy. She described some
OF her odd experiences ia Scotland
and Wales. But OF most Interest was
her description of the movement for
woman suffrage which she declares
is not mere desire to have the vote
because men do, but that they may
assist In bringing out many much
needed reforms. The work began forty
years ago, and progressed slowly and
quietly. Eighteen months ago, how
ever, when the Liberal Ministry came
into power, those who hoped for re-
forms or various sorts became very
active and are moving for temperance,
old age pension, and woman suffrage.
More than million women have
signed petitions for the ballot, The
newspapers have been telling how
wild and fanatical some Of the suf-
tfagettes have been, but this is false
representation, The. women have
appeared at political gatherings and
have desired to ask questions, but as
soon as woman appears the men
begin to shout "ChucK her out"
Students-college, medical, divinity
have raised disturbances, and thrown
bottles, cabbage and dead rats at the
women, Meanwhile quietly, per-
siStently, hopefully, the women Of
England are working for the suffrage.
Some Of the opposing newspapers
have become converted and are now
urging the right OF the women. Mrs.
Sno"den is confident that within a |
fe" years success Will crown their
efforts.

Mistaken Kindness.

"May we not forget to be kir d,
ought to be our daily prayer, but
let us supplement it with an earnest
petition for wisdom. There are
kindnesses that are well meant bu,
are mistaken because the effect is
harmful. They eminate from kind
hearts but with thoughts only Of the
present. Sometimes it is easier to
be kind than otherwise because il
may avoid contact with resolute
wills; then it is sign of weakness
and is not true kindness. Some
times the sympathies overrule the
better judgment and are led to do
things that seem like kindness for
the present but work harm in the
future. Over-indulgence of chill
dren on the part of parents is
common mistake and may be the
result of any or all of the afore-
mentioned reasons. 1t is mistaken
because over-indulgence weaKens
tAeir powers to overcome evil and
robs them of the ability to control
themselves, which is the mainstay
of character.
Children who are allowed to do
as their impulses lead them withou
restraint are in great danger, con
stantly, from foes seen and unseen.
Parents may call it kindness, but
the children will grow up and while
they may not know all the reasons
for their failures and sufferlngs.
they will not fail to realize that
their parent had made a mistake in
trying to be kind. There are no
children SO good, nstulally, that
they need no disciplining. They
need constantly to be straightened
aud pruned that they grow up into
beautiful womanhood and manhood.
Is it kind to allow your boy or girl
to eat anything at any time just to
appease an artificial appetite or be
cause of restlessness? Certainly not.
L! creates an unnatural appetite, de-
ranges the digestion which makes
them illnatured and unhappy, but
the most serious harm it works is
the effect upon the will, for if they
are not taught that something's are
not good for them and therefore
must not be INDUCED In, if they are
not taught self-control in minor
things they certainly cannot use it
in greater; hence if they see their
friends smoking and feel inclined to
try, they readily yield, and it will
be the same about any other temp
tation that confronts them.

MR.. STUBBS ON TAFT
AND BRYAN!

AND DIX I AN!
At meeting in Winfield w. r.
Stubbs brought big audience to
its feet by very simple but bust
nesslike comparison of the two can
dldates for President-Bryan and
Taft. Mr.. Stubs described Bryan
as an American leader whom the
nation honors for his leadership in
reform as we'll as for his private
character, his brilliancy, his sym
pathy with the "under dog" and for
his domestic life. "Suppose, said
he, "that you had large farm
which it was necessary that you put
in charge of tenant to handle In
your interest. There are two ap
plicants to take charge of the place.
Both are men of personal honesty
and integrity; one is very brilliant
speaker and writer on farm topics,
a scientific agriculturlst, if you
please. whose books and lectures on
agriculture are in great demand, a
man whose eloqueace is such that
he is able to interest everybody in
agriculture-but who is without ex-
perience in actual farming, who has
never worked en- farm. The other
candidate is not so we'll known as
writer on agriculture, but he has
been in the work, harnessed to 1t
for more than. twenty years and in
the actual management of large
farms he has made conspicuous
success and has been in demand to
take charge of some of the greatest
farms and has never during twenty
years had time for any other work
than actual farming. Which of these
two applicants would you hire to
run your farm, the scientific agrl-
culturist, or the practical, exper-
fenced farmerP"
The point in this comparison is
that 1t exactly fits the situation. Mr..
Bryan is an eloquent writer and
speaker certainly on government,
but without experience in any de-
partment of government, city,
county, state or federal, except for
his brief service many years ago in
congress. Mr.. Taft for twenty !
years has been in the harness, as a
Judge of the local bench in Ohio, as
a federal judge, as the first Cover
nor of the Philippines, as the paci-
fcator of Cuba, as the closest Of
fetal cabinet adviser of President
Roosevelt and as Secretary of War
at time when the army was to be
reorganized, when the War depart
ment has had charge of admiaistra-
ton in Porto Rico, the Philippines,
Cuba and Panama, and as the chief
responsible official in the work of
the Panama canal, and ia two years
Mr.. Taft has accomplished more In
digging the great ditch than the
French accomplished in thirty years.
Gov. Hughes of New York did
not overstaie it when he greeted the
nomination of Taft as "the best
equipped Candidate ever nominated
for President. Mr.. raft is cam
didate of the finest personal charac-
ter, entirely committed TO making
tthe people rule, Z" and so highly
qualified by experience inthe largest
affairs in the conduct of government, ;
that his candidacy appeals to the
sound business judgment of the
nation. Topeka Capital.
