COOL BREEzES COME
Big Crowds Take the Dip
at Manhattan Beach
as Usual.

Cool breezes from the lake yesterday
had no terrors to the hundreds of
bathers at Manhattan beach and the
outpouring from all parts of the city
seemingly were even as anxious to take
dip" as they were weeks ago.
The season, which is soon to close at
the Windsor Park resort, has probably
been one of the most prosperous in
years. The weather has played the
most important part in termina ting the
success of the many refreshment booths
and stands that have prospered even
beyond their expectation and without a
single exception all of the proprietors
have made money.
| The feature of Sundays attraction
was a concerted effort on the part OF
+, the visitors and bathers to catch THE
Man in Blue"
| The day also brought large num-
Der of expert swimmers who contested
| in the swimming event. The amuse-
ment apparently attracted the largest
number of enthusiasts and both the
amateur and expert" contested fierce
ly for honors.

Quarrel Results in Shooting.

Frank Hayes, 6505 Madison avenue,
was shot in the groin and seriously
wounded last night after he and a com
panion had quarreled and fought with
William Eckedman, owner of a saloon
at Sixty fourth street and st. Lawrence
avenue. Ecker-man and George Ster-
ling, rs Morgan street, the companion
Hayes, were arrested by the police
who took the wounded man to the
Washington Park hospital
The trouble started when Eckerman
refused to sell two men more liquor
after they had become partly intoxi-
Gated. He requested them to leave the
place. Hayes, according to the police
struck Eckerman in the face and Ster-
ling assisted.
Eckerman drove the men into the
street with a billiard cue and Sterling
drove his fist through one of the win
dows. Eckerman, hearing the crasI
of glass, hurried out and fired one sho
as Hayes attempted to break the othel
window. The bullet struck him in tn,
groin.

wound in his head, on the prairie near
the Pullman race track at One Hun

a wonan,s Mind.

There is nothing under heaven that
the average woman dislikes so much
as having to make up her mind. She

she can be expected to do alone; 1t is

How Girls Walk.

Between their short skirts and their
smart pumps the feet of the average
young woman are extremely conspicu
Gus just now, and passing glances at
them reveal the fact that most girls
and women do not know how to walk
properly. Ninety-nine out of a hun
dred of them place the heel on the
ground first, trick that is not only
tiresome, but extremely ungraceful.

they never miss welcome nor want

The Two Parties.

Of course it is the personal element
that strikes the public mind, and one
might infer that the only question
raised in the present campaign was
whether Mr.. Bryan or Mr.. Taft should
be President. That is merely Incl
dental, and even the platforms do not
state the real issues very clearly, be-
cause the universal practice is to
make pleasing appeals to the popular
imagination rather than specific pro-
grams of party action. The Demo
cratic platform is more detailed and
specific than the Republican, but it is
not free from the prevailing faults OF
committees on resolutions.
The real issue is whether the Re-
publican or the Democratic party
shall control the Federal Govern
ment for the next four years. The
Democratic party represents all con-
ditions of the people in all parts OF
the country far more completely than
the Republican party does. 1t is
truly national party, and not the party
of a section or of limited interests and
classes.
The Democratic party stands for the
largest possible measure of local self
government,and the Republican party
through Congress and the executive
and the judiciary, for forty years has
been concentrating power in Washing
ton and curtailing the autonomy OF
the States.
The Republican party ever since the
civil war has been fostering the great
corporations, the aggregations OF in
dustrial establishments and the huge
financial interests of which the people
of both parties are showing grave
suspicion, not to say hostility.
The Republican party has been IN
creasing the public expenditures until
even unnecessary and unjustifiable
taxation is not sufficient to meet It's
appropriations, and it is now legislat-
ing for deficits which cannot go be-
yond the current fiscal year without
necessitating new borrowing or new
taxes.
For which reasons, among many
others, the Republican party ought to
be discharged from the government
of the country-Phila. Record.
The Democratic advocate., 1908-07-31
Using the Knife ON Taft.

The use of the knife, by present ac-
counts, is likely to be exceptionally
vigorous on the first Tuesday after
the first Monday in November AS
customary, the Democratic party will
probably display the greater surgl-
cal energy. But in the result it is
apparent that Mr.. Taft has as much
to fear as Mr.. Bryan. The Demo-
cratic ticket will be slashed where,
on the whole, it will do the least
harm. Guffey Of Pennsylvania and
McCarren of New York may get even
without affecting the outcome in these
States, since Mr.. Bryan practlca!iy
comedies them to the enemy. But the
Foraker and Fairbanks knife, II drlv-
en- in with zest, will go to the yltals
of the Republican ticket. The F'alr-
banks crowd" may content itself with
a sulky neutrality, with mere
scratching of the skin, so to speak, as
an indication of what it could do II
it would. But that it is bound to go
beyond that is a common belief In the
Middle West-N. Y. Evening Post.
The Democratic advocate., 1908-07-31
The United Democracy.

Never in the historw of the Demo-
cratic party has contest within It's
ranks ended in a convention so har-
monious as the one which will give
William Jennings Bryan his third
nomination for the Presidency.
Against the irresistible demand OF
three-fourths. of the delegates the
voice of the overwhelmed minority
has faded away to hardly whisper.
The feeble protest of the men who
rode over Bryan four years ago has
now been substantially withdrawn
by the man they nominated then, and
in advance of the opening of the con-
vention Alton B. Parker pledges his
hearty support to the Nebraskan and
his program.
Warning elements of the party on
every hand have been conciliated. the
deepest wounds have been healed. ts
