The New York platform after de-
claring allegiance to Bryan and Kern

says Democratic party is a rational
exponent of the hopes and wishes of

sponse to the wish of a great mass of
his party and represents the aspira-
tions and hopes of the rank and file

spectacular methods and selling ad-
vertising issues rather than to the
work of reform and retrenchment

Especial to The Sentinel. ]


Chicago, Sept. I6.-That the big
Chicago mail order houses were hard
hit by the recent hard times is shown
by the annual report of Sears, Roe
buck q Company, the largest concern
of its kind in the world The net
profits for the last year fell short
over million dollars from the pre-
ceding year, and there was falling
off of almost 20 per cent. in net sales.
A home industry" crusade has been
carried on by local newspapers
throughout the central West during
the last year or two. and it is pos
sible that this movement, as well as
the hard times, may have had its in
fluence upon the mail trade.
The report shows that the com
pany's net sales amounted to S40,-
S43,S66, or $9,S7S,973 less than
those for the previous year, while
dividends received from investments
involved $S9,6S6, or $1S.SS2 more
than those recorded for the preceding
year, making total net income of
S40,933, ,552, or S9.S60,09l less than
that for the fiscal year ended June
80. 1907.
Expenditures for interest and de-
probation charges involved $3S,S9S.-
756, or SS,656,3S5 less than similar
expenditures for the previous year,
leaving net profits of S2.O34,796. or
$1,203.,706 less than those for the

San Francisco. Sept. 1G.-Growers
of the festive grape in every section
of California have formed protective
organizations to fight the prohibi-
tion movement which is now sweep
ing over the country and will hold a
directors meeting today at which
final plans for the anti-wet crusade
will be decided upon.
An assessment of % cents per acre
will be levied upon all grape growers
in the association in order to secure
funds for carrying on the educa-
tional campaign inaugurated by the
association to counteract the influ-
ence of the prohibition movement
and educate the American people to
the proper use of wine at meals
Vineyards and wine men declare
that the general use of wine would
wipe out the evils of intemperance
and that the grape growers are the
true friends of temperance.
The organization has now spread
to every part of the state where
grapes are extensively grown and 1t
will probably make its influence felt

NO WONDER THEY GASP.
Phillips County Judge Would Send
4Year-Old Boy to Reform School.

l.. E. Countryman, probate judge of
Phillips county, today sent to the state
board of control papers of commit
ment to the state industrial school for
boys at Topeka of Carroll Tucker, aged
years.
Not since the state board Of control
commenced to do business has an ap-
plication come in for admission to the
reform school of a baby of the tender
age of four years. 1t made the board
gasp to think of putting a fodder of
that age in with all the tough boys
who drift to the brick institution north
of town.
Along with the application for Car
plicatiOn for the admission of George
Tucker, of the mature age of eight, a
brother of CARROTS, and accused Of the
same terrible infant crime, 'incorrigi-
bility."
1t is not at all likely that the ap-
two youngsters be placed in the reform
school will be accepted. 1t certainly
will not be in case of the 4-year-old.
Instead of that, the board of control
is planning to send both boys to the
orphans home at Atchison.
Strictly speaking, however, the boys
are not orphans. Their father is dead.
and the official reports on file in the
office of the board of control state that
the mother is one of those unfortu-
nate, gooo-natureu, incompetent Wo-
men, utterly unable to control her chill
dren. The result is that the two lit
tie boys are growing up bad. They are
going onto other peoples property, and
taking other peoples things That is
a bad habit for little boys to get into,
and the neighbors turned them over
to the juvenile court for treatment. The
only thing the juvenile court could
think of to do with them was to send
them to the reform school. Both chill
dren are said to be strong and rugged,
and what they need seems to be merely
a good home and a strong parental
hand
