''Fraternal education has been a neg

as broad as humanity. Some OF its

Religion is the basis Of fraternity.

New Boom Makes Its Appearance in

Convention Adopts Platform az
Forerunner Of National Issues.

Columbus, July 14.-Today opened
up lively for the prohibitionists, with
delegations from the various states ar
irving and being escorted to their re-
spective hotels by band, headed by q
gaily decorated water wagon drawn by
four milk white horses. Attached to
the rear was mule bearing a big
placard, Missouri 2-3 dry"
The state convention opened at $3.50,
but there was more interest in the ar
rival of national delegates than in the
state meeting. III. l.. Peeke, of San
dusky, lost the honor of presiding as
permanent chairman of the state meet
ing, because of his savage attack on
the churches and anti-saloon league,
and against women's suffrage, in his
keynote speech yesterday.
Wright Withdraws His Name.
The refusal of Sanborn Wright, OF
Georgia, to allow his name to come
before the national convention as q
candidate for president, left the deli
egates very much at sea as to can
didate, but certainly not for lack OF
material. A new boom makes its ap-
pearance every two or three hours.
seemingly from the inclination among
delegates already on the ground, to
seek some material which has not been
talked of much.
State Platform Adopted.
The platform adopted by the state
convention states that while it thinks
enforcement of prohibition Is not pos
sible, except by the party in sympa-
thy with law" the prohibitionists
should cooperate with other temper
ance forces" to get local temperance
conditions The republican and demo-
cratic parties are attacked for failing
to recognize the liquor question as the
dominating question. The platform de-
clares against class legislation and in
fringing on popular rights; injunction
laws giving justice to all concerned:
initiative and referendum; election of
United States senators by direct vote
of the people; restriction of immigra-
ton; stringent divorce laws and suf-
frage based on intelligence and moral
ity. A motion to add without regard
to sex" to the latter was lost
1t is believed the national platform
will follow the same lines.
A full state ticket was nominated,
headed by Aaron S. Watkins, Of Ada,
for governor.

A Blade of Grass.

1t was only last spring that I was
walking down Macdougal street one
morning and noticed swarthy, olive
skinned Italian lad on the steps of a
time mansion, now turned tene-
ment, busily poking oats into the dirty
cracks of the stone steps. l stopped a
moment and noticed that down one
side were already growing encouraging
little green sprouts. / asked If he had
planted those also, and learned that
every day he picked up the oats that
were dropped by the horses feeding
from their bags, and planted. them.
Then when they came up he trans
planted them into paper shoe box
which he proudly pointed out to me on
the sill of an attic window.
"Theresa" he informed me, "got a
real garden off the nurse, but amt
sick so 1 made one I looked around
me, and verify Tony's box and ting row
of green BLADES were the only grow
ing things ny eyes could light upon
in any direction.
A similar story of appreciation is
told by settlement worker who was
making her way down Allen street,

she noticed little girl tracing a fln-
ger line around two grass blades at the
