IN CONTROL OF
,.. TEXAS DEMOCRACY
Especial Dispatch to The Journal.)

Especial Dispatch to The Journal)
GALVESTON, Tex. Aug. 1o.-The
Democratic state convention that ad-
Journed last night will reassemble this
afternoon and will probably adjourn
late today.
The platform agreed upon will prob
ably be adopted. 1t will, on state is
Sues follow the campaign platform
and expressions of the nominee for
governor, o. B. Colquitt.
On national affairs, the platform will
be in perfect harmony with the ideas
OF Senator Bailey. whose friends and
supporters completely dominate the
convention.
The platform is a practical reaffirm-
alton OF the Texas Democratic platform
Of 1896, declaring against the policy
OF admitting raw materials free of duty
so long as there is n protective tax
on the manufactured products. 1t is
the same platform on which Senator
Culberson was nominated Is years ago
and upon which he will be nominated
again today for the fourth term. The
policies are the same as Senator Bal
ley. championed and w. J. Bryan at
lacked in n series OF speeches in Texas
last year.
The convention is so well organized
by the dominating forces that any op.
position to the platform agreed upon
will not assume formidable proportions.
The prohibition plank In the platform
follows:
In obedience to the instructions given
in the Democratic primary July q, 1910.
we call upon the SD Legislature of Texas
to submit to the people for rejection or
approval the constitutional amendment
prohibiting The manufacture Of intoxicat-
Ing liquors in this state, but we declare
that the vote upon such an amendment
shall not be the test of Democracy"

That is why he is so honored. Hear
Paul: Let this mind be in you, which
was also in Christ Jesus; Who, being
in the form Of God. though 1t not rob-
berry TO be equal with God; but made
himself of no reputation, and took upon
him the form OF a servant, and was
made In the likeness of men; and being
found in fashion as a man, he humbled
himself, and became obedient unto
death, even the death Of the cross.
Wherefore God also hath highly exalt-
ed him, and given him a name which
is above every name; that at the name
of Jesus every knee should bow, of
things in heaven, and things in earth,
and things Under the earth; and that
every torgde ,shotld confess that Jesus

he is so exalted is because he so hum

he humbles himself the more he shall
be exalted. No one ever stopped so
low as Christ, and so no one has ever
risen so high as he: His Is indeed ''the

saw these Russian pilgrims, those Fran

and others manifesting such reverence
for the tomb Of my Master. I felt like
going to them and putting my arm
around them and saying Brother, do
you love Jesus that way? Well. I am
glad to see that you do. love him, too.

ITALIAN ROYALTY
ON ROLLER SKATES

Rome.-The apotheosis of the roller
skate has taken place at Rome. The
American sport has caught the fancy
OF Queen Elena and King Victor and
almost any day now those who have
the privilege of the inner court cir
Gle may see royalty on rollers enjoying
itself with as much gusto as Ameri-
can children on asphalt streets.
The queen has had one of the big
halls at the Quirinal converted into a
fine rink and whenever time permits
she gives a quiet little skating party
to her intimate friends.
On a recent afternoon there were
on the floor beside the king and
queen the Duke and Duchess of Turin
Princesses Militia and Vera of Mont
engro, nieces of the queen, and Helen
of Servia.
The young royal children watched
the skating with the keenest interest
and their laughter was unrestrained
when the inevitable tumbles occurred
The Servian princess has just begun
to learn the art and she furnished
most amusement. She took her falls
with great good humor and is rapidly
becoming very graceful skater.
Naturally the lead of the queen is
being followed by the high nobility.

SHIP DECK IN CONTROL
OF 3O-FOOT PYTHON

Boston.-When the big British
freighter Indiani came into port from
the far east, one section of the vessel
was in control of a monster python.
The python which is more than 30
feet long. was one of a shipment of
six, which was taken on board at
Singapore. Four days before its ar
rival here it suddenly became active.
It worked open the cover of ito box
and stretched itself on the deck.
In an attempt to capture the rep
tile the sailors pushed n plank into
its mouth The python lashed about
with the plank, injurng several of
the men.
When all efforts to get the monster
back in the cage failed, the sailors
boarded up the space where the pyth-
on lay. and his snakeship was still in
charge of his share Of the deck when
the Indiani arrived here.
