ACCEPTING BANNER,
WILSON POINTS WAY
GOVERNOR WILSON FORMALLY
ACCEPTS NOMINATION.
The Rule of Justice His Political
Ideal-Not Personality But Prin.
ciple Must Rule.

Sea Girt, N. j., Aug. Slowly and
with measured emphasis, Gov. Wood
row Wilson today unfolded the fabric
of his political beliefs in speech
formally accepting the Democratic
nomination to the presidency.
Establishing first what he termed
his faith" he invoked "the rule OF
right and of justice" to politics, pro-
ceeding in succession to show it's ap-
plication to the tariff, the antitrust
question, the restoration of merchant
marine, the development Of water
ways, the conservation of natural re-
sources, banking reforms and other
issues of the day.
It was a motley throng that gath
cred at the summer capitol of New
Jersey. Officially there was a noti-
ication committee of So, representing
every State and territory and with
them came eight of the Democratic
governors.
Spread over the green that stretches
away from the governors cottage to
the ocean, however, was mixed gath
ering of several thousand.
College, professors and instructors
there were, from Princeton and aelse-
where, clergymen from various parts
of the State, marching clubs with
brass bands, summer folk from sea-
side points, women and children, au-
tomobile loads of the curious from
New York, Philadelphia and inter
mediate towns, and hamlets and the
usual stream of venders.
A semi-circle of automobiles fringed
the crowd which closed in tightly on
the spacious lawn of the governors
cottage. On the veranda was grouped
the notification committee.
Senator-elect Ollie James, of Ken
lucky officially informed Gov. Wilson
of the nomination in a speech that was
mixed with applause. On the left OF
Mr.. James was Gov. Marshall, the
vice presidential nominee, and on his
right was Gov. Wilson.
Gov. Dix, of New York, Gov. Foss, OF
Massachusetts; Gov. Baldwin, of Con-
necticut; Gov. Donaghey, of Arkansas;
Gov. Plaisted, of Maine; Gov. O'Neal
of Alabama, and Gov. Mann, of Vir-
ginia, sat nearby.
With solemn attention the crowd
listened to Gov. Wilson'S speech OF
acceptance. Though frequently satl-
rical remark brought laughter, Gov.
wilson's exposition of his political
doctrine was received with marked
austerity.
The governor was plainly i'll at ease
at the beginning of his speech: He
would have liked to discard the print
ed manuscript from which he read
and speak, as has been his wont, ex-
temporaneously.
Would Like to Speak.
'"This might be more interesting"
said the governor, digressing for a
moment. if I did not have to read it"
AS it was, the governor interpolated
an epigram here and there which

ROOSEVELT And JOHNSON
ON BULL MOOSE TICKET
COIONEL'S CONVENTION SELECTS
CANDIDATES.
Both Accept Places Without Hesita'
tion, Disregarding the Custo.
mary Wait.

Chicago, Aug. 7.-Singing Onward
Christian Soldiers" and "The Battle
Hymn of the Republic" the delegates
to the first national convention OF the
Progressive party tonight acclaimed
Theodore Roosevelt as their candidate
for president and Gov. Hiram W. john
sca1. of California, as their choice for
vice president.
Marking a new departure OF the
proceedings of national conventions
the two candidates Immediately were
formally notified of their nomination
and in the midst of deafening cheers
apbeared before the delegates to voice
their acceptance and to pledge their
best efforts to the coming campaign.
For several long hours during the
morning and early evening the big
crowd in the coliseum had listened
to a flow of oratory in nominating and
ahseconding speeches in which the domi-
nant note expressed was the belief
that victory would come to the new
party in the November elections. Ray
mond Robbins, of Illinois, pledged a
100. 900 majority for the national tick
ct in illinois, and Clifford Pinchot pre-
s dicted a 100000 majority for Col
Roosevelt and Gov. Johnson in his
home State of Pennsylvania. These
statements were cheered to the echo.
Changes Its Name.
The party formally christened it
self sthe Progressive party" leaving
out the prefix national" by which it
has heretofore been known, but pro-
vision was made for the recognition
of @reap' progressives in any of the
States by whatever name they should
be locally designated because of State
laws.
The convention adjourned at 7.24
D. IN. with the delegates singing the
~Doxofogy" in lusty voice. During the
three days it was in session there
was not a single roll call nor ballot
taken. The delegates asked no such
{ formalities either in placing their
candidates in nomination or in voting
for them. There was not a voice in
opposition either to Col. Roosevelt or
Gov Johnson. The delay in nomina-
ting them was due to the large num-
], Der of seconding speeches allowed.
But One Fight.
AS las always been the case in ma
tional conventions the bulk of the
work of this gathering was carried
4 on in committees. The only semblance
of a conflict of opposition On the floor
was a brief debate today as to wheth-
Res-5r not an hours recess should be
\ taken. The point was not material,
4 but as one. delegate expressed it, eve
fjust had to fight about something to
IN make it a regular convention"
A There was sharp discussion, how
eFer, in several of the committee meet
II ings and no little difficulty in agreeing
IA upon the platform as finally adopted.
M. Roosevelt worked with the sub
Enrnittee in charge of the platform
*until late this afternoon, going over
their work of the two previous days
&and nights and helping to mold the
draft which at last proved acceptable
to him. The platform did not take up
the negro question.

days ago tiled of" the entire right
lung of patient at the institution.
Although the operation was an ad-
vanced one, the surgeons said that the
anesthetic was administered accord
ing to new method and 1t was their
belief that the patient would recover.
The difficulty heretofore. when ether
had been given in the normal way,
had been that the patient regained
consciousness before the operation
was concluded. In this instance the
incision was made in the patients

method was so new that 1t was yet

What She Wanted,

looked like newly married folks, but
were not on their honeymoon, as
Mann learned by deduction. The
woman laid down a newspaper she
had been reading and said to her hus-

somebody and have him rave about

Where a Bath Comes HIah.

There are some things about a trip
through Holland that you recall when
stopping at one of our modern hotels"
says an American recently returned
from a trip abroad. 'In many places
in that interesting country the hotels
are run as they have been for ages
and candles still are the vogue.
Rooms with bath are unknown. In
stead they charge you about 40 cents
in American money for a bath. You
ask for the privilege of using the tub
and they send up a maid who brings
with her towels and soap if you have
none, for you are supposed to carry
both with you. She fills the tub, has
it about the right degree of heat, and
the faucets are locked, so that If you
want any more water you don't get
1t; also there is no chance for your
travelling pal sneaking in and enjoying
a bath without coming through with
another 40 cents.
"You are provided with one candle
a day and charged for 1t. The lights
go out early in the night, and If you
happen to get up or want to read you
have to use a candle. This does not
apply to Amsterdam, which is a met

HOME A CENTER or SERVICE
Old Time Ideals Of Hospitality Should
Be Maintained so Far as
Possible.

The ideal home is not self-centered.
1t is a center Of service. SO far as
circumstances will permit, the old
time ideals OF hospitality should be
maintained. In wise and uplifting
ways the home should be shared. 1t
is good practice to invite young
people who are away from home. 1t
relieves loneliness, encouragement
and temptation. Remember it is
Not what we give, but what we share.
The gift without the giver is bare.
The home is the bulwark OF civil.
ization. Within the extreme limits OF
wealth and poverty a home may be
goood or bad, irrespective of social
position or property.
Our homes are what we choose to
make them. 1t Is a question of what
we admit and what we kept out of
them. Our best selves and the best
we have to give should go into the
home life, and to a large degree de-
termtnes the character of children.
The home tends to make us better
or worse. Thus the home becomes the
chief factor IN determining the char
acter of the community and the ma
ton. The trend of our times is away
from the home into the countless
amusements and interests of modern
life.

grave which has made 1t a much fire.
quented spot. If a portion of the
headstone is carried away It acts as
a lucky talisman, particularly to those
who speculate or are otherwise en-
gagged in games Of chance. It is usual
for a person breaking a piece from
the stone to make vow that In case
he is successful he will buy a new
headstone to replace the one he has
mutilated. Many prayers must have
been answered, for the stones are
piled high on either side of the grave,
and an enterprising individual near
by has the stones already for sale and
only waiting the name of the donor
to be engraved and then set I'D. al
