by the shacllles OF the past and faced
the new issues in the new spirit that
the time demanded.
''But we are more fortunate in one
respect than our predecessors, for we
who now stand for the progressive
cause, the progressive movement,
have done forever with all sectional
ism. and we make our appeal equally
to the sons of the men who fought
under Grant and to the sons OF the
men who fought under Lee, for the
cause we champion is as emphatlcally
the cause of the South as it is the

Hiram Johnson of California was en-
powered to appoint committee of
seven members to confer with Colo
mel Roosevelt and formulate a plan
of action.
Here is the birth Of a new party
said Governor Johnson when this was
done
The movement is going steadily
ahead said James R. Garfield of
Ohio. CHOSE who think this is a
flash in the pan are mistaken.
j. With Formidable Equipment.
{ In the opinion of the leaders the
new party enters the field with a for
midable equipment These leaders,
4 however, said that as to the men
who took a conspicuous part in the
campaign for Colonel ROosevelts
nomination, each must speak for him
self.
The attitude of Governor Hadley of
Missouri was the chief point Of dis
cussion along this line. The govern

clare himself.
No definite idea Of the plan to be
followed could be obtained, and it was
said several weeks may elapse before
the program is decided upon. Gov
ernor Johnson, in the meantime, VIII
ut as field marshal, and in coopera-
tibn with Colonel Roosevelt, Will de
eide upon the membership Of the com
mittee of seven and guide the pre-
liminary work of organization.
4 Roosevelt Men Confer.
Colonel Roosevelt will go to Oys-
ter Bay, and Governor Johnson Tor
California, but they will keep in com
munication with each other.
The meeting was held in the head
quarters of the national Roosevelt
committee under the direction OF the
most prominent Roosevelt supporters
who had not left town Seated at
table with Governor Johnson were
Mr.. Garfield, Clifford Pinchot, Govern
g. Stubbs of Kansas; Medill McCor-
mick Of Chicago and Senator Clapp OF
Minnesota
Ecattered through the hall were
large number of Roosevelt delegates
to the Republican national conv9n-
ton. as well as some of the steam
roller delegates to whom seats we're
refused. 1t was impossible to ascer-
tain how large a proportion OF the
full Roosevelt strength at the con
vention was represented, although 1t.
was said that nearly every state which
sent Roosevelt delegates to Chicago
had its share Of the men there.
The Roosevelt Battle Flag"
The bandanna handkerchief was
adopted as the Roosevelt battle
flag"
Most of the delegates wore flaming
bandannas tied around their arms and
Others were distributed by the nun
dreds to the crowd. The bandanna'
it was explained, stands for the PLAIN
people who ordinarily use them.
"We're all plain people here and
this is a movement of the plain peo-
lie" said one of the delegates.
@AColonel Roosevelt gave his sane
ton to the battle flag by appear
ing with one in his hand which ne
waved to the crowd on tne street.
His daughter Mrs. Longworth, wore
a bandanBa on her hat.

CABBAGE AND
 CANTALOUPES
Features of yesterday at the City Market Pre- vailing Prices and Ap- proximate Quotations for Today-Berries, Cherries.

E. J. Sutter claimed the honors of the City market yesterday on cabbage and Cant9loupes. The latter were the first of the season to be offered in the market and considering that it was a backward spring anyway this is good season for the fruit vegetable. But the cabbage. U-mh, it is something to talk about! Three heads of them, all skinned of the outside leaves and ready to drop in the pot along with a big slab of cOrne5 beef, weighed 45 F pounds.
 FTencny the cement artist is engaged in putting cement floors in the stalls at the market so everything can be kept clean and sanitary.
 The daily patronage of the market is increasing Each day brings new faces and more people than were seen on the corresponding day of the previous week It is only a question now of educating the people. When they learn that they can secure a bigger variety, fresher goods and probably cheaper prices at the market than elsewhere, it will become in reality a clearing house for the valley raised produce and more

How he came to write such a strange chant, was explained recently by MT. Hunt, who has been at St. Matthews s for six years
 Tn my stay in this parish I have naturally had to conduct many bap- tisms," he said Being of musical turn of mind, it occurred to me that the cries of the babies were remarkably similar, and rose and fell in the same cadences.
 "ChiIdren's cries always come down like the siren of a steamer-while I found that the sequence of the notes were usually seconds or sevenths and, in a few cases, siXths
 Why not attempt to harmonize these cries in a chant which should be a true reflex of human sorrow and emotion
 50 I set to work and wrote the chant. which only consists of ten con secutive chords.
 "The treble is like the baby's cry, the alto is a more subdued vail, while the bass and tenor represent as far as pos sible the sorrowful cries of adults.

 Another bill of general interest which came before the senate yes terday is the house measure giving to county supervisors the right to grant franchises to public service corpora tions over public highways. The bin didn't look much like itself when the senate got through with it. Several important sections were cut out en- tirely and in addition a referendum clause was attached. In this form the bill went to the enrolling and en- crossing committee
 And though they were talking ad- journment harder than ever-some of them now say it will come certainly Thursday-a few new bills continue to dribble in occasionally. One of them got in yesterday by the Cum niff route This is an anti-pass measure. Just how they happened to pass up an anti-pass bill for so long the depOnent does not say. This bill forbids everybody from accepting free railroad transportation except members of the national guard under certain circumstances.
 And though this bill was introduced only yesterday it is already well along on its flower strewn journey. It was given first and second readings un- der suspension of the rules and has been sent to the style revision and compilation committee to be dressed in it's Sunday toggery for it's final appearance on third reading.
 A bill providing for a primary in accordance with democratic ideas has also been introduced in the senate. It is now generally conceded that all the bills absolutely essential under the governors call have been intro duced. Also it may be said that good many have been chucked in that are no more related to the call than a hedgehog is related to hum ming bird.

An ordinary brown rabbit, the same as is common in the Hoosier rural districts, was noticed running across the Indianapolis motor speedway in front Of Joe Dawson as he came laundering down the paved course in his blue National car. in the 500- mile race Memorial day.

BABIES CRIES IN A CHANT.
A London Minister Used the Walls of
 Infants for His Song.

LONDON June 5-Babies who cry have found their champion
 An infant when in tears it has just been found, emits certain musical sounds which can easily be harmon ized into the form of a chant, or even q secular song.
 This singular discovery has been made by the Rev. N. Bonavia- Hunt a curate Of St Matthews church, Willis den, N w. who has composed a chant Bounded upon the wailing of infants.
Arizona republican., 1912-06-11

Tt is difficult to write an original chant as there is little scope for new combinations of chords, but l believe a novel effect is produced by this cry ing chant of mine.
 Tn listening to the wailing of babies I have found little difference between boys and girls, except that the former may be a little stronger and more luSty."

A Letter to School Trustees.

This is the time of year that re-
turns are being made for the years
taxes. A considerable part of the
school fund comes from the poll and
dog taxes. Many polls are never re-
turned, and believe if all the dogs
in the county were returned they
alone would add 100000 to the
school fund. l therefore urge that
the trustees of every school district
in the county at once procure a
man. or one of themselves, to make an
accurate list of the polls and dogs in
their respective districts and hand
same in to the county Auditor by
March 1, at the latest.

Editor County Record
Please give me space for only a
few more words on "The Paramount
Issue, in reply to Mr. wv S Co.
1t would be great thing for the
landlord to be able to dictate to his
serf from whom he shall buy and
force him to do so. He could run a
little store of his own, buy his goods
from time merchant, add another
time price on them and then force
the renter or share cropper to pay
2him this price. If he wished to, he
could make him go any distance and
buy from the highest merchant in
reach. 1t would place the renter or
share cropper at the mercy OF the
flandlord.
lit makes no difference whether
the chattel mortgage is lawful or
not, if the merchant accepts it and
furnishes the goods it serves its
purpose.
Now, as to the negro proposition;
/ beg to say that | have no more in
terest in them than in any other
down-trodden race that is in the
background and needs our protec-
ton and discipline. The negro is so
lintermingled with US, and he is fol-
so many occupations that our
white people are following, that
even if we would,we cannot oppress
him without depressing a class OF
laboring whites. The negro is now
recognized as a human being, and
SO long as this belief exists he should
be treated as human.
Now, Mr. c, l must admit it is
pity you didn't live one hundred
years ago, when people believed as
you do now. Get somebody to tell
you low many years you are behind
the present times.
