Mr.. LLOYD's FITNESS

The experience which Elvon c. Lloyd
has had as member of the city council
for the past two years gives him fitness
for the office Of mayor, possessed by only
few men. He is familiar with the needs
of the city and his cautious, careful bust
ness methods make him just the man for
the place. He is large tax payer and
favors keeping down municipal expenses
as low as it is possible to do so and main
tain the dignity Of the city.
1t was only by urgent request OF many
Of his friends that he decided to accept
the nomination, and now hopes and ex-
poets TO be given hearty support at the
polls.

THE LANGUAGE" OF ANIMALS.
Various Cries and Calls Not the Me-
dunn of Communication.

Huxley thought that because of the
absence of language the brutes can
have no trains Of thoughts, but only
trains of feeling. and this is the opin-
ion of most comparative psychologists.
] am myself quite ready to admit that
the lower animals come as near to
reasoning as they come to having a
language. Their various cries and
calls-the call to the mate, of alarm,
of pain, of joy-do serve as the me-
dunn of some sort OF communication,
but they do not stand for ideas or
mental concepts any more than the
various cries of child do. They are
the result of simple reactions to out
ward objects or to inward wants, and
do not imply any mental process what
ever. A grown person may utter a
cry of pain or fear or pleasure with a
mind utterly blank of any ideas. Once
on a moonlight night lay in wait for
some boy poachers in my vineyard.
AS | suddenly rose up, clad in a long
black coat, and rushed for one and
seized his leg as he was Fastening
over the fence, he uttered a wild, agon-
lied scream precisely as a wild ami
NAL does when suddenly seized. He
told me afterward he was simply
frightened out of his wits For the
moment he was simply an unreasoning
animal.-John Burroughs, in Outing
Magazine.

as its candidates:
For President-Thomas E. Wat

For Vice-President-S Will
Jams, of Indiana.
Williams accepted promptly in a
neat little speech Watson was heard
from at Jacksonville, Fla, to the eff
feet he could say nothing until he
had been officially informed of the
conventions action.
The platform, put togethe: after
an all night struggle, was ;ammed
through against the protests of a
strong minority as to its money plank.
The Platform.
The Populist platform for 1908 de-
mands that all money shall be issued
by the Government direct to the peo-
pie, without the Intervention OF
banks, and be full legal tender for

quantities to supply the necessity OF
the country.
The other demands in the platform
are:
No alien ownership of the public
domain; forfeiture of land by corpor-
atoms which have violated grants.
Government ownership and control
~ dc f01 nd fa1nnhnnn
lines and other monopolistic public
utilities, also the establishment of a
parcels post; governmental regula-
ton, under uniform laws, of private
trusts and monopolies, and adequate
taxation of monopoly privileges.
Establishment of the initiative ref
erendum and proportional represen-
tation and direct vote for all public
officers, with the right of recall.
Preservation of the right of labor
to organize; no more government by
Injunction; no more child labor or
sweatshop; no more convict labor.
The enactment of an Employers
Liability bill and the institution of a
general eight-hour day.
Abolition of gambling in futures"
in the stock market.
Exclusion of foreign pauper labor.
Legislation in favor of safety APP
planes for workingmen.
Immediate adoption of precaution-
airy measures to prevent repetition
of recent mining disasters.
Work on public improvements in
times of depression for unemployed
men.
The passage of law prohibiting
courts from assuming jurisdiction in
volving the constitutionality of any
law enacted by Congress and ap-
proved by the President.
The maintaining of farmers or
CARNATIONS and extensions of their
power and influence.

KILLS POLICE CHIEF IN COURT.
Man Convicted of Arson Wounds
Three Others and is Himself Shot.


Terre Haute, Ind.-Found guilty
of arson, Henry F. Mcdonald in the
Circuit Court room shot and killed
Chief of Detectives William E. Dryer,
seriously wounded three other Off
GERS and was himself badly wounded.
Mcdonald had been tried on a
charge of dynamiting stores and a
church in Sanford last year.
Mcdonald jumped to his feet, drew
a revolver and fired at Prosecuting
Attorney James A. Cooper, Jr., but
missed. Mr. Cooper lodged and Nc
Donald directed his fire at the officers
seated around the table.
Policemen and deputy sheriffs in
the court room drew their revolvers
and opened fire on Mcdonald, who
fell with half a dozen bullets in his
body.
Harvey v. Jones, superintendent
of police, was shot in the side. Dep
uty Sheriff Ira Wellman received a
wound in the chin. Sylvester Doyle,
City Court bailiff, was shot in the
leg. Another shot struck A. s..
Walker, bystander.
The shooting was the climax of a
sensational trial which has been bit
terly contested. Mcdonald was
known to be bad man but had not
been locked up during the trial. The
police had expected some demonstra-
ton, but nothing violent.
Chief Dwyer had been on the local
force twenty-SiX years.
