SYMPTOMS OF CONSUMPTION

A prominent citizen of Evansville,

months with pulmonary trouble, and

hages and was in very bad way

creates an appetite, strengthens the

ADVERTISING TALKS.

~ Camden, NJ J.

WHETHER we like it or whether
we don't, the Parcels Post is almost
upon US.
1T is NOT the purpose Of this ar
Nticle to discuss the advantages Or dis
advantages of the Parcels Post.
VOLUMES could be written in fav-
or Of it and as many volumes citing
its certainty of working great injury.
1T HAS BEEN the contention of
many that ALL retail merchants were
opposed to the Parcels Post.
THIS is far from fact.
MANY retail merchants see in it a
power for great business develop
ment in which they may figure.
THESE merchants are not neces-
sarily, the largest BUT THEY ARE
ALL LARGE, FOR THEY ARE, EV-
cry ONE, ADVERTISERS.
THE merchant who has learned the
value of ADVERTISING need not
fear the Parcels Post.
IF THAT great bugaboo Of the re-
tailer-the mail order house-can OBJ
tain business by advertising, the local
dealer can do likewise.
WHEN the people want anything
THEY WANT 1T.
THEY DON'T want to have to wait
three days for their order to reach a
catalog house, two days more while
their order is being put through a
string of "red tape, two weeks while
the order is Sin transit" and event.
ually have to go to a freight station
and 'haul'' the purchase home.
THEY would much prefer to go to
one Of the "home" merchants, see just
what they are buying and either take
it with them or have it delivered AT
ONCE.

TISE. They make their wares desir-
able to the housekeeper

WHEN John Wanamaker was Post
master General he declared himself
in favor of the Parcels Post, but said
there were four great obstacles in
the way.
WHEN asked what they were, he
replied, @The American Express Com

Miss Florence Ashenfelter has just
returned to her home in Philadelphia,
after spending very pleasant month
with her friends here, Mr.. and Mrs.
Eugene Swilkey.
The teachers and children of the
public schools were royalty entertain
the home Of Mr.. E. Philip Allen on
Thursday evening. Several appro-
pirate games were played and re-
freshments were served.
Principal Oscar Kern and his assis-
tant teachers and children entertained
Principal George Collins and his chill
dren in a Field Day on October 26.
Mortified won the base ball game by
the score of 8 to 5. Scullville won
the Corner Ball Game by the score Of
35 to 25. In the End Ball Game
Scullville was also successful, win
ming that event by score of 81 to
27. Both the visitors and the resi-
dent pupils enjoyed themselves and
return visit is promised by Profess
sor Kern and his pupils.
Mr.. Joseph Laws and his family
have moved to Linwood and taken
possession of the farm and home of
Mr.. Alf. Gibson, the well-known min
strel man.
The regular meeting Of the local
Board of Education was held Tuesday
evening, Oct. 20. President Allen
was in the chair and the usual busi-
ness was disposed of. A communi-
cation was read from the pupils of
the school giving Mr.. Allen a vote of
thanks for his presentment of the
supply of tools for the Manual Train
ing Department.
A charming Halloween Entertain
ment was held in the school house on
Wednesday afternoon. The rooms
were darkened and several large
pumpkins containing lighted candles
served as the wierd light for this
unique and pleasing entertainment.
Several of the children's parents were
present and were amused by the
quaint songs and recitations of the
well trained children. After the en-
tertainment suitable refreshments
were served.
Mrs. Howard Channel, formerly a
teacher of the intermediate depart
ment of the local schools, was town
visitor last week and renewed several
former acquaintance.

FOR A PROGRESSIVE PLATFORM
Delegates Rushing Work for Early
Adjournment-The Vote on
Temporary Chairman

nali!nvre, June IA raEtd-nre,
routine night session closed the first
day of the Democratic national con.
vention which began with the defeat
Of William ]. Bryan for temporary
chairman. Scenes of disorder on the
floor. which made further proceedings
impossible. forced night session and
compelled Alton B. Parker to suspend
his keynote speech until the evening
session.
The delegates on the floor gave
earnest evidence of their desire to do
everything in a hurry and get away
from Baltimore.
William Jennings Bryan did not ap-
pear In the convention hall during
the evening. His failure to be on
hand resulted in an almost immedi-
ate adjournment of the resolutions
committee, which met after the ses-
sion, in response to the delegates de-
mand for speed. It was practically
certain that Mr.. Bryan would be elect
ed chairman of the committee. Other
committees got together Immediately
for organization.
The vote by which former Judge
Parker of New York was elected tenn
porary chairman over Mr.. Bryan
$40 to 510-was interpreted In many
ways. The Clark adherents are open
ly claiming the nomination and there
were many at tho convention who
were inclined to agree that it would
either be Speaker Clark or q dark
hourse."
Talk Of Bryan Continues.
Talk of Mr.. Bryan has not ceased
by any means. Some of his friends
claim that the vote was no test; that
many Of his most ardent supporters
were compelled by circumstances to

FactonaIism in Evidence at Every
Stage of the Republican National
Convention Just Closed.
IOWA DELEGATION WAS LOYAL
Both United States Senators From
Iowa Will Remain Regular and
Not Join New Party.

The republican national convention,
held in Chicago last week, beginning
on Tuesday and ending on Saturday
night, was in many respects the most
remarkable convention ever held in
this country.
There is no question but factional-
ism was in evidence at every stage
of the convention. The Taft and
Roosevelt factions were almost even
ly divided and each seeking to gain
the ascendency over the other. The
Taft faction had the advantage of hav-
ing slightly larger number of dele
gates than the combined opposition to
him.
While the Roosevelt people made
the noise and demonstration, they
lacked the votes and organization to
win out.
The cry of fraud, robbers and
thieves which was the stock in trade
of Roosevelt and his followers ceased
to make an impression, considering
the facts were not such as to warrant
the use of such extreme terms.
The national committee was made
up of in the neighborhood of fifty
members, thirty-five of whom were
practically unanimous on all questions
of contest. The minority as general
rule, voted with the majority in seat
ing contested delegates. The fact that
the Roosevelt members of the com.
mittee united with the Taft members
in settling SO many contests counter
acted the charges of fraud which the
colonel and his friends were making
in their speeches and interviews

vote against him as temporary chair
man. They claimed on the other hand
that the vote of $40 given Mr.. Bryan
indicated that he held "veto" power
in the convention. which put him in q
position to dominate who should be
.he nominee
Many OF Speaker Clark's delegates
openly throw their support to the anti
Bryan forces. This was regarded as
opening a breach between the speaker
and the former nominee, which may
cause the Bryan supporters to make II
hitter fight on Clark Taken from an
other angle. the vote of so many Clark
adherents for Judge Parker was inter-
preted as a distinct bid for the sup
port of the conservative element in
the convention.
This conservative element, 1t may
be stated. is practically prepared to
accept a radical or progressive candi-
date. They frankly admit that to
name conservative or so called re-
dictionary would result in strengthen
ing the hand of Colonel Roosevelt in
his organization Of third party. This
the leaders are anxious to avoid.
The turn Of political affairs in the
last few days is regarded here as hav-
ing been decidedly favorable to Speak
ar Clark's candidacy. The straight
out Wilson delegates threw their sup
port solidly to Mr.. Bryan in his fight
against Parker. This, the leaders fig
ured, would make the conservative
element choose Clark in preference to
the New Jersey governor as the pro-
gressive candidate.
There was & report that the ninety
votes of New York, a controlling fact.
or in the situation, would go to Clark
The report was based largely upon
the action of New York III voting
against Bryan. The fact tina: the Mis-.
souri, delegation also gave Parker
majority Of its votes-22 to 14-Quick-
ly called out reports Of coalition be-
tween New York and Missouri. This
naturally led to talk of Clark for
president and New York man for
vice president. The man mentioned
most prominently in this connection
was Senator O'Gorman.
