Is Opened.

Atlantic City, N. J. The vet
Grams in attendance upon the Grand
Army Of the Republic national en-
campment marched through the
streets of Atlantic City Wednesday
to the strains of martial music as
they did nearly half century ago.
The streets through which the pa
rade passed were beautifully deco
rated, and the old soldiers marched
between solid walls Of spectators
whose cheering was continuous. All
along the route relief stations were
established for the comfort of the
veterans, and they were served with
coffee and other refreshing drinks.
Some of the feebler ones dropped out
before the end of the route was
reached, but most of them marched
on sturdily to the point where the pa
rade was disbanded.
Following the men OF the Grand
Army were large delegations repre-
senting all the allied organizations
the Woman's Relief Corps, the Ladies
of the G. A. R., the Daughters of
Veterans, the National Association of
Union Ex-Prisoners of War. the Ma
tional Association of Naval Veterans,
the Army Nurse association, the as
ISOLATION of Civil War Musicians, the
Sons of Veterans and their auxiliary,
and the United Spanish War Veterans
Commander-in-Chief Van SAINT re-
viewed the parade, and in the stand
with him were Governor Fort, Mayor
Stoy and a large number of other no
tables. When the parade disbanded
the old soldiers sought their quar-
ters to rest up for the doings of the
afternoon and evening.
At o'clock in the afternoon the
national convention of the Woman S
Relief corps was called to order by
President Jennie Iowa Berry in st.
Paul's Methodist church. The attend
ance was large and great interest was
displayed in the business before the
body. At 4 o'clock the ladies of the
G. A. R. held an open session in the
First Baptist church at which a prize
flag was presented by the national
president, Della R. Henry of Kansas

BRYAN REFUSES TO SUP
PORT MAYOR DAHLMAN
inee for Governor Because Of His
County Option Views.

Lincoln, Neb w. ]. Bryan
in a public statement announces
that he will not support the NOM
ination Of James c. Dahlman, mayor
of Omaha, and Democratic nominee
for governor Of Nebraska
Mr.. Bryan justifies his bolt on the
ground that Mr.. Dahlman has pledged
himself if elected to veto any county
option bill the coming legislature may
pass and also that he will sign a bill
repeating the present eight o'clock sa-
loon closing law
He says to support Dahlman would
be a step backward and embarrass
him in the fight he expects to make
hereafter to save the Democratic par
ty from what he says Is the odium Of
being the representative of the liquor
interests.
The declaration of Mr.. Bryan is mild
in tone and partly apologetic. He tes
titled to the long personal and political
friendship between Mr.. Dahlman and
himself and says he is forced to take
the position he does with regret

GOES THROUGH THE RAPIDS.
Captain Larsen Makes PeriIous Trip
at Niagara in Motor Boat.

Niagara Falls, N. Y. Captain
Klaus Larsen in his little motor
boat, the Ferro, made a successful
trip from the foot of the cataract
through the whirlpool rapids to with
IN a mile of lewiston, distance of
four and one-half miles.
Despite the batterlng of the whirl-
pool rapids, Larsen went through
safely, but his boat was leaking badly
at the finish and through the trip.
Larsen had intended to start at 2:30
O'clock but was delayed by engine
trouble. Besides, the authorities
threatened to interfere On the ground
Of attempted suicide.
In the trip through the rapids the
little boat was lost to sight most Of
the time, but at Great Wave it was
shot twenty feet out of water. The
boat landed right and continued to
the pool.
Because the engine was put out OF
order near the whirlpool, he did not
so to Lewiston in the boat which,
after leaving the pool, drifted into
Dead Mans eddy near Niagara univer-
sity, where it was swung to shore.
Larsen was picked up by an cleo
trio car and taken to Lewiston, three
miles further down stream, where an
injured leg YVES treated.
Larsen wanted to continue the trip,
but having accomplished the worst
part of the journey, he was persuaded
to board a trolley to Lewiston, set
ting the boat adrift.
The trip was worse than l thought
it would be- said Larsen, but I am
not hurt and l will do it again some
time with another boat"

DIFFICULTY OF INVASION.

Whenever war is discussed invasion
is sure to be treated as a matter to
be considered anxiousIy. Yet sue
cessful invasion has always been the
exception, rather than the rule. Eng
land has had fit of the shivers every
few years for centuries at the thought
of invasion, and yet it has actually been
centuries since she has suffered from
an invasion, says Manchester Union.
In the last war with England there
was a great deal of talk about inva-
sion, both of this country and of Can
ada, yet nothing came of it all except
the taking Of York, now Toronto, by
Pike, and the capture of Washington
by Ross, neither of which had any
permanent results or even any impor-
tant influence on the course of the
war. Now and then something is
said in the newspapers and in military
circles about the invasion Of the
United States by the army of some
hostile nation. 1t is we'll enough to
provide suitable coast defenses, for it
would be disagreeable and expensive
for some one of our seacoast towns
to be levied upon for a heavy tribute
by hostile feet, but as to an inva-
sion which would reach anywhere into
be seriously entertained.

Roosevelt Holds Conference With
President at New Haven.

New Haven. Conn. Prior to-
President Taft's departure for Gin
cinnati he and Col. Theodore Roose-
welt had long conference here over
the New York political situation.
Colonel Roosevelt sought the confer
ence with the president. 1t was plain
from all that transpired before and
after the meeting that the colonel and
his close political advisers were not
little worried over the situation in
New York state and came to the presi-
dent for further evidence of his moral
support
This the president was glad to give.
He declared his position in the New
York state fight has been clear from
the first. He said he sympathized
heartily with the fight against boss
ism" being waged by the people of the
state.
Mr.. Taft reiterated the statements
he made in his letter to Lloyd c. Girls
| com, president of the New York coun-
ty Republican committee, at the time
OF the ACKNOWLEDGMENT controversy
| over the temporary Craftsmanship. This
| letter, he added stated his position
fully and accurately, and he was stand
ing on it absolutely
Mr.. Taft announced to his callers
anew what he had said in the Griscom
letter: that he favored direct primaries
for the nomination of congressman and
state legislators. He understands this
to be the purport of the Cobb bill, as
amended by the Seth Low and Joseph
ChOate memorial He said he hoped
that declaration for such a primary
law would be written into the RepubIi-
can state platform and that a candi-
date for governor in sympathy with
this movement would be nominated

The latest public school develop
ment is the proposed establishment
OF classes at Montclair. N. J., for in
struction in the prevention of tuber.
culosis. A census of the Montclair
schools shows that there are about IS
pupils who are predisposed to tuber-
culosis, and to save these children
and others the authorities propose
to establish outdoor classes In each of
the schools. 1t would be good policy
to make instruction in warfare against
tuberculosis general so that the pu-
pills may guard themselves against in
lection, and avoid inclusion in the
outdoor classes. The open air school
Is becoming quite general New
York has opened one and the school
authorities of Chicago are preparing

COLLIDE ON TRESTLE.
Burlington and Rock Island Trains
Come Together Near Holt, Mo.

Holt, Mo. - In a head-on col
lision here of Chicago, Burlington
& Quincy No. 6, which left Kansas
City for Brookfeld, Mo-, and Chi
cago, Rock Island & Pacific No. Fl,
which left Chicago, H. L. Howard,
Brookfield, Mo-, was killed and nine
ten persons injured. The Rock Is
land train headed in on the Burling-
ton tracks at Cameron Junction on
it's way to Kansas City. A misunder-
standing Of orders by the Burlington
crew is said to have been responsible
for the wreck. The trains were to
have passed at this station.
The accident occurred on a sharp
down grade near a bridge, the ap-
proach of which was cut off by
high embankment which prevented
the engineers from seeing the danger
until their trains were almost to-
gether. The engine crews saved
themselves by jumping, although all
were more or less badly injured.
The trains crashed together on
high trestle over small creek and
the compact was so great that the
Burlington train, much smaller than
the Rock Island, was driven off the
bridge and back probably 100 yards
before the smoker went into the ditch
with it's car full of passengers. The
baggage car and smoker were entire
ly demolished.
Not one person on the Rock Island
train was injured, though the engine
was badly damaged. All the seriously
injured are Burlington employees,
either then at work or returning
dead-head to their homes in Brook
field
There is to be a joint investigation
between the two roads to find who
is to blame for the wreck. 1t is said
the original orders were for she Bur-
lington local to meet the Rock Island
at Holt, but it is supposed that later
the orders were changed SO as to give
the Burlington local right of way into
Lathrop. The Rock Island conductor
had the original orders to meet the
Burlington at Holt. The train was
80 minutes late and the engineer was
trying to make up time when the two
trains met

Standardization.

Religion should be native. It
should be concrete and applicable.
Religion is the natural expression Of
living, not set of actions Or of hab-
It's, or a posture of the mind added to
the daily life. The type Of religion,
therefore, is conditioned on the kind
of living, and the kind OF living is
conditioned, in it's turn, yer, large
ly on the physical and economic eff
fectiveness of lige. The religion Of
the open country should run deep into
the indigenous affairs of the open
country.
