DEMOCRATIC CONVENTIONS.

Indulging in n historical review of
democratic national conventions, the
Kansas City Star discovers that the
two-thirds rule which governs these
conventions has with but one eXcep-
ton, never prevented the nomination
OF any candidate entering the con-
vention with u majority of the dele
lgates. This rule was first established
in 1886 and in 1874, when Van Bur-
en- was regarded as the single choice
of his party, it was invoked to de-
feat him. A majority of the dele
gates had been instructed for him
when he wrote his letter against the
annexation of Texas. Sentiment gen.
orally was SO favorable to expansion
that even the instructed delegates
began to look for a chance to disre-
gard their instructions. This was af-
forded by the t%wo-thirds rule. Polk
was presented and became the first
dark horse to he chosen in any ma
tional convention.
In all other conventions the can
didate having enough strength to
muster g majority Of the delegates,
has succeeding in obtaining two
thirds.
1t is we'll remembered that in
1895, no candidate even approached
a majority. With 76S votes in the
convention and 512 necessary to a
choice, Bland, the leading candidate,
could secure only POI at the most.
Bryan received only 119 on the first
ballot but this grew to 500 on the
fifth ballot and enough votes were
changed to make him the nominee.
In the last three conventions the
nominees have been chosen on the
first ballot, Bryan in 1900, Parker
in 1904 and Bryan in 1908.
In concluding its discussion, the
Star says: "Of course, the query nat
urally suggests itself whether the
conditions of 1896 at Chicago may
not recur at Baltimore in June;
whether there may not be confusion
on the first few ballots, with no cam
didate getting eve a majority-con-
fusion and then-Br-en."

RECEPTION FOR MEMBERS.

~ IO-N YIN u
The social and reception of Tues
day night given under the auspices
of the Woman's Aid Society of the
First Methodist Episcopal church, to
the members-new and old-will
long be remembered with pleasure.
A multitude of people threnged to
the %capacious parlors during the
evening. With the membership
came many friends, visitors and
strangers, who We're cordially re-
ceived and made to feel at home. A
number of plans were successfully
carried out all for the purpose CT
making the affair informal and Civ
ing the people a better chance TO
get acquainted. The rooms had
been beautifully decorated by the
ladies and presented an artistic and
honey appearance. Prof. Dalgety of
h university entertained the crowd
Win a NUMBER OF readings when
We're heartily received. Mrs. B. A.
Bobb had general charge of the eve-
ming entertainment. She was as
sisted by President kerfoot, Prof.
Seaton and others in directing the
program of entertainment. These
social occasions are of the highest
value to a growing church where
the membership is large and where
many new people are constantly
coming into the fellowship of the
church and the Woman's Aid Society
serves the church splendidly in this
way as we'll as in many other ways.
A free will Offering was taken during
the evening to help defray the eX
pense of the Individual Communion
Services which the society recently
ordered at an expense Of more than
$3.50. 1t is expected that the SER
vice will arrive in time for the
Sacramento service of Sunday,
April %.

he said the word, yes" or mo-
during the evening. 1t was an
nounced that the n having the
most beans at the close of the eve
ming would receive Il Baraca pm.
The plan worked we'll and no n re-
NAMED Il stranger very long, Tor so
SOLICITORS of the welfare OF Others
was very one, that timidity soon
vanished. After Prof Van Benthuy-
sen had lost all his beans in answer
ing questions for the boys a few
stunts were pulled off. Blindfolded
Baker and Herey showed consider
able sknll in finding each others
heads ny the use of knotted towels.
A b~lindfolded boxing match between
Smith and Collins was possibly more
amusing to the audience than to the
actors. The boys were then enter
tanned by Il company of German re-
cruits who had great %diflicuulty in
understanding commands, and in
handling arms. A hurdle race was
followed by a few minutes spent in
capturing beans. An interesting and
very suggestive rart of the evenings
entertainment was a series OF II
sentence speeches, on, why l am
Proud of South Dakota.' Many and
varied were the reasons given, rang
ing all the way from South Dakota
real estate, wind, and gold to citizen
ship, opportunities and women. In
fact the Baracca class is proud of
South Dakota, because she has the
largest gold mines in the country,
and large forests, because she has
the largest wealth per capita of any
state in the union, because she has
more automobiles per capita and
cleaner cities than any other state
wild flowers, she has clearer skies,
more manly men, and, because the
South Dakota girl can't be beat the
world over" Mr.. l.. A. Moomaw,
travelling secretary of the intercol-
legiate prohibition league, was pres
ent and gave a short outline of his
work. He emphasized the need of
leadership in handling the liquor
problem in the future. Following
Mr.. Moomaw's talk, refreshments
We're served. The boys formed in
single file and as they passed around
as they were instructed to do. When
they had disposed of sandwiches,
pickles, and coffee they made another
trip around the room and each was
given ice ceram and cake. For the
remaining part of the evening the
company listened to some very ap.
propriate music consisting of piano
solos by Guy Morse and a trombone
solo by Ellis Potter. Guy Cook was
awarded the Baraca pin for having
secured the most beans during the
evening. The program was con
cluded by a few remarks by Prof
Van Benthuysen. AS the class dis
persed for the evening all We're bet
ter acquainted and drawn closer to
gether. Every man felt himself Il
be a vital part of a strong organiza
ton and was better able to make th'
class slogan universal in scope, tina
it might read, What kind of a world
would this world be, if every mai
was just like me?"

The retirement of Congressman
Dalzell IN the Pennsylvania primar-
les goes to show that in politics the
hcemingly impossible is always pos
sible. 1t has been supposed that since
Dalzell represented a district believed
to profit especially from high tariffs
and since he has always attempted to
make the tariff as high as possible.
no one could eve retire Jim" DIAL

word on the subject of tariff revision.

According to the Sioux City Jour-
nal, it has been reprehensible on the
part OF the insurgents" to say that
Taft could not be reelected if NOM
mated. The thought is that such a
course is damaging to the interests
of the party. On the other hand, it
surely is not a particularly damnable
desire upon the part of any man to
want his party to put up the strong
est possible candidate. That is one
end that should actuate all party
members in the selection of presi-
dental candidates. On the contrary
there are many who start into a cam
paign with the determination that
a certain nan must be nominated
whether or not he is the choice of
the majority and whether or not It
it is best for the party that he
should be chosen. No plan could be

In view of the circumstances and conditions
under which the present management is aborng
we feel grateful for the support which The Record
is receiving,
Instead of net loss in circulation for a period
OF several months, we fully expected. there has
been an increase in the circulation since the first
week following tie change in management. TIE
increase has not been such Us to overwhelm us
with the task of getting the names on our mailing
list, nor would it necesstate the exclusion of much
of the other matter that should find place in the
paper; however, the circulation has been growing,
and is growing.
1t is our purpose to make The Record a paper
that the public may depend upon; reliable inter
estng and Instructive; paper filled with news
NOW and not lengthy illusions on what we're
going" to do at some future time.
Not only are we pleased at the ncease in the
number Of people who want The Record but we
are douby pleased at the class OF people who are
asking that their names be enrolled as subscrib-
ers So long as the present evidences of appre-
citation are shown. we will have but little TO COM

Il has been well said that "a persons educa-
ton is governed by his power to remember "
Some people "a great many especially those whe
are connected with colleges have conceived the
idea that the..extent of ones knowledge is gov
erned.by the number of "sheepskins or diplo-
mas he possesses.
In this selfish, contracted arrogant vision,
they see no good in any but the college graduate.
And SO successfully have they deceived school
boards and state officers that today in nearly ev
cry instance certificate and not present know-
edge, is the test for man or woman seeking fav-
ors in any line where schools are involved.
A school certificate is only "prlma facie" evil
dence that the holder hassthe knowledge which it
purports, but when presented at the door Of the
next higher institution, it passes at par, and the
owner is given all the privileges which the false
system las established.
The average graduate from high school is
worth very little when he enters business life. He
probably knows al about the champions of foot
ball. base ball, jumping running and other things
which are of no value whatever to him when he
gets on payroll" He may say "L'homme pro

Even among the instructors in schools and

spelling. and the ordinary forms and customs Of

All of which goes to show that there is some

ton. man should be judged by what he knows
and not by what he is supposed to know. ard the
curriculutn of the schools should be so changed

edge of those things which he must use if he is to
succeed in his dealings with his fellow creatures
in the ordinary affairs of life.
