ay a better place to live in.

I day a better place to live in.
They mean the realities of liberty
and not the academies of theory.
"They mean the actual progress of
the race in tangible items of daily liv-
ing and not the theoretics of barren
disputation.
If they do not mean these things
they are as a sounding brass and
tinkling cymbal.
"A nation of strong, upright men
and women; nation of wholesome
homes, realizing the best ideals; a
nation whose power is glorified by its
justice and whose justice is the CON
science of scores of millions of God
fearing people-that is the nation the
people need and want. And that is
the nation they shall have.
For never doubt that we Americans
will make good the real meaning of
our institutions. Never doubt that we
will solve, in righteousness and wis
dom, every veXing problem Never
doubt, that in the end, the hand from
above that leads us upward will pre-
vail over the hand from below that
drags us downward. Never doubt that
we are indeed a nation whose God is
the Lord.
And, SO, never doubt that a braver,
fairer, cleaner American surely will
come; that a better and brighter life
for all beneath the flag surely will be
achieved. Those who now scoff soon
will pray Those who now doubt soon
will believe
Soon the night will pass, and when,
to the sentinel on the ramparts of lib
erty the anxious ask: "Watchman,
what of the night" his answer will be.
'Lo, the morn appeareth.'
Knowing the price we must pay,
the sacrifice we must make, the bur-
dens we must carry, the assaults we
must endure-knowing full well the
cost-yet we enlist, and we enlist for
the war For we know the Justice of
our cause, and we know, too, it's GER
tain triumph.
Not reluctantly then, but eagerly,
not with faint hearts but strong, do
we now advance upon the enemies of
the people. For the call that comes
TO us is the call that came to our
fathers. AS they responded so shall
we.
He hath sounded forth a trumpet
that shall never call retreat,
He is sitting out the hearts of men
before His judgment seat.
Oh, be swift our souls to answer Him,
be jubilant our feet,
Our God is marching on.

TERRIBLE BATTLE
BETWEEN MENCANS

Ell PASO. Texas, Aug. 5.-After
marching 60 miles through mountain
passes and across desert stretches,
San Jines, with 1000 federal troops,
found yesterday that the rebels at
Casas Grandes had anticipated him
and that CorralitOs, where San Jines
had expected to take charge of the
railroad, was held by a rebel force as
large as his own.
All afternoon battle has been in
progress at COrralitos, the rebels des-
perately endeavoring to drive San
Jines back to the hills. Late today
news of the battle reached rebel head
quarters at Juarez and a special train
bearing 400 rebels, the entire Juarez
garrison, was sent to reinforce Sala-
zars army at Corralitos. 1t is believed
in Juarez that if the reinforcements
can reach Corralitos during the night
the federals may be driven away to-
morrow.
The fight at CorralitOs is an import
ant one for the rebels Should the
federals succeed in seizing the rail
road there Juarez would be within
easy reach and the rebels would have
no base. Already they have been driv-
Ell lIOlH MdueTd dIQ f0dTSOn ana Ie1-
erals are so close to Casas Grandes
that it is no longer safe for rebels.
Salazar left Casas Grandes last
night to meet San Jines, whose ap-
proach had been announced by rebel
cOuriers. 1t is believed that already
Blanco has entered Casas Grandes. AS
the rebels have destroyed both tele-
graph and railroad have destroyed
both telegraph and rail communication
below COrralitos it is impossible for
Juarez to learn what the fate of the
ancient city may be tonight, but the
rebels admit that the cutting off of
communication probably is evidence of
federal occupation
Of today's battle at Corralitos reb-
els will give no information except
that the battle had been in progress
for hours. OF the slain and wounded
and of the probable outcome they will
say nothing, but they are in constant
communication by telegraph, having
seized the telegraph line early in the
day from the railroad officials.

Senator Beveridce's Speech

Ex-senator Albert J. BeVeridge' as
suming the duties of temporary chair
man. said in part:
We stand for nobler America. We
stand for an undivided nation. We
stand for a broader liberty, fuller
Justice. We stand for social brother
hood against savage individualism. We
stand for an intelligent cooperation
instead of a reckless competition. We
stand for mutual helpfulness instead
of mutual hatred. We stand for equal
rights as fact OF life instead Of a
catch-word OF politics We stand for
the rule of the people as a practical
truth instead OF a meaningless pre-
tense We stand for a representative
government that represents the peo-
pie. We battle for the actual rights
of man.
ITO carry out our principles we
have a plain program OF constructive
reform. We mean TO tear down only
that which is wrong and out of date;
and where we. tear down we mean to
build what is right and htted to the
times. We harken TO the call of the
present. We mean to make laws fiji
conditions as they are and meet the
needs Of the people who are on earth
today. That we may do this we found
a party through which all who believe
with US can work with US, or rather,
we declare our allegiance to the party
which the people themselves have
founded
For this party comes from the
grass roots. 1t has grown from the
soil OF the peoples hard necessities.
1t has the vitality OF the peoples
strong convictions. The people have
work to be done and our party is here
to do that work. Abuse will only
strengthen it, ridicule only hasten its
growth, falsehood only speed its vic
tory.
The Progressive party asserts
anew the vitality of the constitution
We believe in the true doctrine OF
states rights, which forbids the nation
from interfering with states affairs
and also forbids the states from inter
fering with national affairs. The com.
bined intelligence and composite con
science of the American people is as
Irresistible as it is righteous, and the
constitution does not prevent thai
force from working out the general
welfare
From certain sources we heal
preachments about the danger of our
reforms to American institutions
What is the purpose of American in
stitutions? Why was this republic es
tablished? What does the flag stand
for? What do these things mean?
They mean that the people shall
be free TO correct human abuses.
They mean that men, women and
children shall not be denied the oppor
tunity to grow stronger and nobler.
They mean that the people shal
have the power to make our land eacl

IRY UNITED PRESS ASSOCIATIONS !
CHICAGO, Aug 5.-The National
Progressive convention was called to
order at 12:45, following a parade of
delegates through the Coliseum. Penn
sylvania, the first delegation arriving,
appeared at :47. Maryland, Oregon
and Kentucky followed, singing cam
paign songs All carried red and
blue bandana handkerchiefs. There

roof and was festooned with the
national colors. At one end were
pictures of Washington, Lincoln and
Jefferson and at the other large por-

candidate and it appears there is lit

first Immediately after he was an

Plans Relief for Children
Susceptible to Disease.

An open-air school in Atlantas pub
lie school system will be established if
the efforts of the Anti tuberculosis as
ISOLATION prove successful. DIR. Robert
q. stephens, medical examiner for the
public schools, declares that there are 900
children in Atlanta schools today suffer-
ing from anemia and malnutrition, easy
marks for tuberculosis, who could be for
uned against the White Plague by open
air living
Such schools have been established in
New York, Philadelphia, Chicago and
other large cities, and have proved emf
nently successful. No tubercular child is
admitted to the schools, but merely those
who are too weak to resist infection
The association declares there are hun
dreds of children in the city who could
be saved from the disease, yet are not,
and gives as an example the case of one
family in which the mother is the only
bread winner. The father has an ad-
vanced case of tuberculosis and also has
pellagra, while the boy of eight is a posi-
tive tubercular case. The baby of four
Is in good health, while the mother was
once affected by the disease. The baby
could be saved by the open-air school,
as could the boy, yet because no such in
stitution existed the boy is unable to go
to school because of his affection.
The mother makes 81 a week; house
rent is $1.60 week and fuel SIPS. They
were all taken to the sanatorium last
fall, and, in the spring, on their return
they bought two beds, a bureau, five
chairs, dining room and a cooking stove
on the installment plan. They paid IS
on it and now they are unable to pay
more, and the dealer is threatening to
take IT from them
