WORKING at It's Trade.

Summers here In all its grandeur,
All its beauty. all its heat.
Spreading sunshine like molasses
over all the dusty street.
Melting collars that were lately
Very white and fresh and pure.
Raising sweat upon the wealthy
And the faces of the poor.
Fer IL doomed upon the landscape
Like a bakeshop overdone
We were sure it was the only
Cherished and anointed one.
In our bones we felt that never
Could a season be too hot
And that summer would be certain
Every day to touch the spot
Now we have IL as our steady.
Stopping with US all the while.
And at times we pause TO wonder
II we really like its style.
II for IL with more affection
Hearts would not I'm rapture throb
II the thing were not so very
Conscientious on the job.
But since summer is in season
We must make the best OF IL.
Though at times we almost wonder
If IL isn't a misfit.
II would surely be a beauty.
Like a shirt waist ready made.
If IL wasn't so persistent
In the working at it's trade.

Ofatory is Cut short.
The convention came to order in
tent packed with perspiring delegates.
Instead of calling for oratory the
delegates began to speed up the ac-
ton of the convention to a gait that
promised to transfer the anticipated
long-drawn-out contest to two brief
and busy sessions.
The temporary organization was
made permanent, and Chairman
Smyth, after a brief speech, selected
a committee on resolutions. Mr..

of which had been attacked by Mayor
Dahlman and his followers. The gov
ernor also promised that if reelected
toge rher with a democratic lsgislat-
ure, he would give them opportunity,
through legislative action, to settie
the saloon question definitely.
The platform adopted indorses the
administration of Governor Shallen-
berger and favors the giving to met
ropolitan cities and cities of the nrst
class the right to make their own
charters.

minority reports would be submitted

Insurgency Endorsed.
Lincoln, Neb., July 27.-The plat
| form convention of the republican
party of Nebraska yesterday adopted
the platform strongly endorsing the
administration of Taft, the new tar1ff
| law, expressing unalterable opposl-
ton to the System known as Can
nonism," and hearty sympathy with
the ''insurgent' movement in and
out of congress. The platform In
cludes the declaration for county OPP
ton as a method of regulating the
| liquor traffic and for an amendment
| in the state constitution providing
for a direct legislation. These reso-
| buttons were not adopted without the
meeting of a strong opposition to
both in the resolutions committee
and upon the floor of the convention,
but while there were no votes TO
spare in the committee or county OBJ
ton and other matters which came
before the main body the delegates
as minority reports, the vote In
their convention was overwhelming.
AS a general proposition, it has been
understood the endorsement or
trounty option and of insurgency
were supported by the same people.
In consequence, when, at the opening
of the convention at noon, Senator
Norris Brown, a "standpatter," was
chosen as permanent chairman over
Congressman George w. Norris, the
leader of insurgency" by an over
whelming vote, the rank and file of
the county optionists," began to
fear for their pet resolution.
Compromise at Conference.
1t developed, however, that while
no compromise was admitted by
either side, there was conference
Monday night at which Senator
Brown assured the "optionists" of the
character of the resolution commit
tee he would appoint if he was made
permanent chairman.
The committee appointed by him
included three in favor of county
option, three in favor of the present
of a statewide prohibition amend
ment. @ s~. 81
The last named was finally Voted
for by the county option plank. The
minority report opposing such reso-
luton was defeated in the convention
by ESQ ayes and 55S noes. There
was no division in voting on the ma
jority report.
Near the close of the convention
Congressman Norris offered the anti
Cannon resolution.
There was a storm of protest when
the discussion was first presented,
but when put to vote it was
adopted.

and Moline. The saloon question under
the operation of the option becomes
strictly a local issue and county regu-
lation, if not municipal regulation, or

BRIEF, MAD DRAMA
Charlton, Fascinated, Weds
Mary Scott Secretly.

\ great deal of mystery surrounded the
marriage of Porter Charlton and Mrs
Mary Scott Castle. 1t seemed a strange
match because of the great difference in
the ages of the couple and the contrast of
their temperaments.
Charlton was tWentyone years old, he
said when the wedding took place. Mrs.
Castle was nearer forty than thirty. She
was whirlwind of emotions, he a quiet,
rather retiring young man.
Charlton is the son Of Judge Paul
Charlton, solicitor general of the War
Department and head of the bureau of
insular affairs In 1906 he was graduated
from St. Luke's School. near Philadelphia.
He was studious and of a romantic turn
of mind. loved poetry and the beautiful.
+ After his graduation he got a position
i'm the National City Bank of New York
and went to that city from his home III
Washington. He was assigned TO the for
eign department of the bank and was
getting along finely in his work, having
been promoted several times lin New
York he led retiring life and spent the
most of his time in study when away
from the bank.
