Westcott of Camden, N. J..
The Board Of Public Safety paid a
visit Of inspection to the Convention
Hall and tested all of the drapings and
ether ~infammable material there to
see if it was freproof. A match was
held to several of the flags and bum
ing draped about the galleries, and
when it was removed not a spark was
seen on the bunting.
Mayor Gaynor's boom for the Demo
cratic Presidential nomination was
backed into the political arena by an
announcement from a committee,
headed by Jacob A. Cantor, that they
had come to Baltimore to work for the
Mayor.
According to Cantor the Mayor was
not consulted about the launching of
the boom. but on this point politicians
were smiling broadly as they recalled
that William Harmon Black, the treas
urer of the Gaynor committee, has
been in almost daily and apparently
earnest consultation with Archibald R.

sci. > is not believed by any n that
Nh. Watson would be going ahead
with anything that had not received
the approval of the Mayor.
Mayor Harrison, of Chicago, is being
heraIded on the eve of his arrival here
as the choice of the West. Messrs.
Weson, Underwood and Clark are be-
ing boosted as strongly as ever.
1t is conceded that on the first two
or three ballots the three leading can
didates will pretty well hold intact
their instructed and pledged following.
Thereafter the heavy growth of
strength of any candidate must come
mainly from the uninstructed delega.
tions, the most of which are tied to
gether under the unit rule adopted by
their respective States.
One thousand and seventy two dele
gates have now been chosen. The
membership of the convention will be
1885, if no representation is allowed
to the Philippines, and 724 will be ne
cessary to a choice of candidates un.
der the two-thirds rule. Fourteen dele
gates remain to be chosen.

The World Needs Relation.

The church is to supply a need of
the world, and according to the wis
dom of the world which has been ex-
perimenting with a great many things,
the chief need is religion. In saying
this it should not be necessary to
affirm that we are not Indifferent to
the great agencies being employed
for human betterment, but for the per
s~istently and perniciously obtuse, we
say again, that We plead only for a

The rival delegations from Massa-

The rival delegations from Massa-
chusetts came in, and each opened
headquarters in the same hotel. The
Roosevelt half of the delegation held
a meeting in the evening with a pur-
pose to harmonic things" as to the
selection of members for the conven-
ton committees.
Roosevelt delegates stated that
there would be no change in the com.
plexion of the Massachusetts delega-
ton as to support Of the rival candi-
dates.
The Connecticut Taft delegation OF
fourteen arrived, bringing with them
nearly a hundred enthusiasts, includ-
ing the alternates, Republican state
leaders and visitors to the convention.
Governor Robert P. Bass of New
Hampshire, a supporter Of Roosevelt,
accompanied the Taft delegation from
that state, which arrived in a special
car.
In addition to the La Toilette forces
was the North Dakota delegation, a
solid ten votes, they say, for La Fol-
lette from the first to the last ballot.
William Jennings Bryan was a centre
of attraction in the pre-convention
scene, and, although appearing at the
headquarters of leaders of a rival par,
ty as a newspaper reporter, had a de-
monstration from the throng of visi-
tors and delegates.
Mr.. Bryan had a personal chat with
Theodore Roosevelt, after he had talk
ed with Senator Dixon, the Roosevelt
campaign director, and Representative
Mckinley, managing director of the
Taft bureau.
AS he entered the hotel lobby, ell
bowling his way through the crowd,
some one shouted, "Hurrah for
Bryant" and the Nebraskan received
a demonstrative welcome.
At a meeting of woman suffragists
resolutions were adopted that all wom-
en- in the six1States which have equal
suffrage be advised to vote against
the party which shall not have a plank
in it's platform favoring votes for
women. Fifty-two organizations were
represented, and the organization
was affected with Mrs. Harriet Tread
we'll as president.

Gov. Wilson, who aver it is a nulliica-
ton of the primary plan, which is one
of Wilson's friends are not unanimous
in the demand for the change, how
ever, is indicated by the attitude of
Edwin o. Wood, national committee
man from Michigan, who is in favor of
a continuance of the unit plan.
1.-THE unit plan will not be opposed
in the convention" said Norman E.
Mack, 'the only fight over the system
may come over the Ohio delegation,
but only in this specific case"
This opinion was indorsed by Com
mitteeman Wood.
Nor do any of the national leaders
now in the city view with equanimity
the possibility Of IN attack upon the
cherished two-thirds rule, and any
movement for its abrOgation probably
will be quashed without ceremony.
Neither change, it was said by sew
eral authorities, could be made in the
present convention, but it would not
become effective until four years
hence.
Harmony" is to be the great cry
here, it developed.
The Democrats will be a united
party behind the man picked to run
their race, unless a seemingly univer.
sal determination should be given up
in the next three weeks. Discord does
not seem likely, and it will have to de-
velop after the convention opens.
IL was even rumored hat the heads
of national Importance gathered
around Chairman Mack have already
fixed their minds upon a Democratic
nominee for the White House position
and are only bending their energies
to greasing the wheels in order that
smooth progress may not be impeded.
But those who talk knowingly of the
choice as already made could not
agree on whom this choice was.
United States Senator Pomerene,
who will head the Ohio delegation,
was a caller at the Harmon headquart-
ers. He gave it as his opinion that
Harmon would be nominated on the
fourth ballot.
Senator Newlands of Nevada arriv-
ed with a tentative platform which he
submitted to Chairman Mack and 9th
er National Committeeman. 1t is an
elaborate document prepared with
much care and most of its provisions
are said to meet with much favor. One
of the most radical and one which will
command the support of the delegates
from the Pacific slope reads as fol
lows:
Experience having demonstrated the
folly of investing the inferior race
with which amalgamation is undesira-
BILE with the right of suffrage and the
folly of admitting to Jul shores people
differing in color, we declare that our
Constitution should be so amended as
to confne the right of suffrage in the
future to people of the white C and
we favor a law prohibiting the immi-
grafton to this country Of all people
other than those of the white race eX-
cept for temporary purposes of educa-
ton travel or commerce.
Senator Gore is talking Woodrow
Wilson strongly. He said:
Governor Wilson is the only candi-
date who can receive the majority OF
votes west of the Mississippi. And be-
sides tat he car carry New York in
the general election. I think the New
York delegation will also support Gov.
Wilson in the convention

The Iowa men are lauding the quail

The motion to zeal the Missouri
Roosevelt delegates was made by Sen
ator Penrose of Pennsylvania. The
delegates seated were: Gov. Hadley,
Jesse A. Tolerton, Walter S. Dickey,
and Hugh McIndoe. The remainder
of the Roosevelt delegation of eight
were seated as alternates.
Desertions of delegates are looked
for by both sides, and it is the expec-
tation of these which furnishes the
basis of the charges of corruption.

Upon the night of the day after the
Republican nominations have been
made the National Republican league
will hold a monster public ratification
meeting in the First Regiment Arm
DRY. Previous to this meeting officers
will be chosen. John Hays Hammond
is now the president.
Decorations for the various head
quarters of the presidential candidates
and state delegations in the hotels
show unique ideas.
The La Toilette people have decided
not to put up a candidate. for chair
man, but to keep in the middle of the
road as regards Taft and Roosevelt.
Detectives have been placed by both
sides everywhere, even in the national
committees ante-rooLls, to watch for
bribers.
Republican leaders in Chicago are
greatly concerned over the danger of
a scandal in connection with the
Southern delegates.
The leaders say that the fight be-
tween the President and ex-President
has gone SO far that it must be fought
to a finish.

Baltimore.-FoIlowing the disclos-
ure that a fight against the unit sys-
tenn was contemplated in the Demo
cratic convention, strong opinion to-
day was expressed by Chairman Nor
man E. Mack and other leaders that
this would not materialize unless in a
contest on the Ohio delegation. A
fight against the system will be per-
mitted on the floor and the national
committee appears to be a unit in its
favor.
On the other hand a fight against
the unit principle as a whole has been
confidently predicted by men close to

The Taft meeting was attended by
Senators Root and Crane, DR.. Nicholas
Murray Butler, Secretary Hilles, Rep
r~esentative Mckinley, manager of the
Taft bureau; Representative Law
renee, of Massachusetts, and Mr..
Barnes, of New York.
The discussion involved for the most
part only the general policy to be fol-
lowed in the party statement. The
Taft platform is brief. Attention is
centred generally upon the issues
raised by the present campaign. Tariff
revision, with the aid of a tariff com
mission, and a declaration unfolding
the courts, are included.
Headed by Dynamite Ed" Perry,
chairman, the Oklahoma delegation
arrived. The delegates and their
friends travelled in three special trains.
More than six hundred are in the par
ty, and headed by a brass band, march
ed through the streets to their hotel,
waving Roosevelt banners and singing
a Roosevelt "houn' dawg' song.
The New Jersey delegation also
paraded behind a band when it ar
rived. 1t swung down the street sing
ing:
"'Rah! 'rah! 'rah! Who are we?
We are the delegates from New Jer-
see.
Are we in it? Just you wait
Till we give Teddy t~wenty-eight
straight"
The delegation came into town al
ready organized. Borden D. Whiting
was named for national committee
man, and as members of committees
the following were chosen:
Resolutions, George l.. Record; ere
d%entials, j. Boyd Avis; rules, James G.
Blauvelt, and permanent organization,
William G. Lord.

lost.

We do not think as much as we
should Of the horror of the state Of
the lost. That it is torment unspeak-
able is plainly taught in Gods word.
Probably no man has ever known in
this life what it is to be completely
cut off from God. Those who have
ever had any intimation of it, or any
approach to it, may we'll shudder over
the thought of its horrors when the
consciousness Of this loss as final
shall sweep over a soul in its fulndss.
Oh. that we may realize with a heart
broken, almost uncomfortable keenness
the fact that this awful doom is in
store for every man, woman and child
we know who has not found escape
and salvation in Christ. Then God
may use us more abundantly to lead
souls out of death into life.-Sundsy

BALTIMORE CONVENTION GOSSIP

The prospects were considered
bright for Mr.. Underwood completing
the ticket, although United States
Senator O'Gorman of New York is
also mentioned for the position.
There are growing indications that
the Baltimore Convention is going to
be a lengthy one.

tween the Wilson and Clark forces is
more intense than between the other

Observant people at the Congress
hotel were amazed when they saw
Victor Rosewater, who presided over
the lively deliberations of the national
committee, and who lost no opportuni-
ty to smite Roosevelt delegates over
the head, emerge from the rooms of
the Colonel.

That Governor Wilson will probably
not resign the g|overnorship of New
Jersey if he is nominated for Presi-
dent of the United States, was the
statement made by National Commit
teeman Rober S. Hudspeth, of New
Jersey, who is a close personal friend
of the Governor.
Speaker Clark will permit his
friends to manage his campaign for
nomination for him at the convention
and will not come to Baltimore.

with the coming of every autumn
come additional references to the
beauties Of the Indian summer. which
Is commonly supposed to be feature
OF the American climate usually to
be found in November. According to
popular belief there is spell of pc
culiar weather occurring every year
which is characterized by three spe-
cial features-a greater warmth than
the preceding days or weeks, by
smokiness, and by haziness. 1t Is
true that some scientific writer's have
denied the existence of the increased
warmth and have declared that the
alleged smokiness is an optical delu-
sion Nevertheless the popular belief
il in favor Of the pecuiarities de-
scribed and the term Indian summer"
in America is supposed to account for
them.
Despite the prevailing opinion that
the term Indian summer is of ancient
origin, beginning with the earliest
settlers Of this country. recent inves-
LEGATIONS of historical students as to
this subject prove that In reality it is
less than a century and half since
Indian summer was first mentioned
and in the earlier reports of climatic
conditions in the new country it did
not appear at all. Tradition alone
takes it back to the time of the In
dians, since in the numerous references
to the pleasant weather of the Ameri-
can autumn made by many writer's,
there are records of less than half a
dozen who used the term Indian sum l.
mer up to the year 1900.
The differences as to the term in
the year when the peculiarities of In
dian summer are to be looked for, as
we'll as their length of duration, are
almost as varied as the opinions of the
scientists as to why such peculiarities
exist. If indeed they are admitted to ex-
list at all 1t has been stated that In
dian summer occurs in September, in
October, November and even in Janu-
airy: that 1t lasts from three to four

day poem entitled IAN Indian sum-
mer." IN which are the lines: Long
may the Indian summer Of ypur days,
Yet linger In the land you love 30
WE'LL" All Of the American poets have
used the term frequently although
Longfellow and whittier have perhaps
done most to make It familiar.
The origin Of the term 10 much dis
puted and probably never will be
known. One plausible theory 10 that
It came from the harvesting Of the
Indian maize or corn which was long
after the harvest Of the European
grains. Another IL the Indian legend
given us by Longfellow in Hiawatha
who describes Shawondasee, the
owner Of the south wind, whose au-
tumn sigh gave the mild weather and
whose smoking tobacco pipe, the
smoky haze.
In other nations, however. there is a
mild period looked for after the first
cold OF autumn. This lie known by
many titles none of which seems to
have become so popular as the Indian
summer of America. In England II
has been known as All-hallow sum-
mer. The term st. Martins summer
originated In France, but 1t is also
much used In England and both cor
respond with the Indian summer Of
America. The I1ombardy peasants ex-
pect always a few fine days at the end
Of October which they call st. Teresa's
summer. while the Germans call it
Altweiber summer. The Swedes give
1t the title Of st. Bridget's summer, the
Belgians st. Michael's summer, the
