Labor Day
Proclamation Issued
by Gov. Marshall.

Indianapolis, Ind, Ex-Governor
Marshall has issued the following
Labor day proclamation: Whoever
sees the shuttle dart across the
loom and views the wondrous works
OF modern machinery whoever
hears the complex noises of indus
trial life. whoever feels the pulsing
of the power behind our progress,
whoever tastes the ripened fruitage
of the field and vine and thinks
only of the brain behind it all, is
half made In the world where whole
men are needed. The race and all
its hopes will come to naught only
when its children are born armless.
The designer is impotent without
the builder. Our civilization is
ambidextrous and he who does
things must be either one hand or
the other. Indiana has been wise
enough to remember this and by
law to provide that the first Mon
day in September shall be a holy
day for labor. Let us this year
keep 1t gladly not grudgingly: let
us keep it In the spirit as we'll as
IN the letter; keep it with a vow to
deal justly with and think kindly OF
those who make life bearable, nay,
even beautiful; keep 1t as our
brothers, not our servants birthday.
In testimony whereof, / have here
unto set my hand and caused to be
affixed the great seal of the state Of
Indiana at the capitol in the city of
indianapolis, the twenty first day of
August, in the year of our Lord

GRADY AND HIS MOTHER.
bv EDWIN A. NYE.


This is a true story about Henry W.
Grady, the great editor. and his
mother.
One day Mr.. Grady said to his asso-
ciates ON the Atlanta Constitution. Il
am going away for a week or so, and
I don't want anybody to know where
! am"
He went to Athens, his old home.
When he came to his mothers house
he took her into his great. strong arms
and said:
Mother, I've come. home to you this
time to be your own. little boy Harry
once more. I want you to treat me
Just like you used to in the old days.
Cook for me the little pie dough cakes
on the back of the stove, the ginger
cakes with the raisins in the middle,
the nice warm bread with the brown
crust"
And while he was home that time
he spent his days down at the old
swimming hole and out in the barn
where he would crawl over the old
cotton gin and try to skin the cat on
the pole. He loafed about the cabins
And in the afternoons
Grady, the great editor and orator,
would lay his head down in his moth
er's lap and ask her to tell him the
stories she used to tell about Joseph
and David and Elijah and Daniel and
the shepherds and the star and the
Baby In the manger.
When he would go to his bedroom
he called higmother in and said:
at want you to tuck Harry in bee
and hear him say his prayers. Now
Law me down to Sleep" Then he woult
say. Mother. set the light out in thu

TO Be VERY CLOSE
Taft and Roosevelt Have an
Even Chance in the Pri-

CNatIonal News Association,


TRENTON, y. J., May 13.-It is
universal belief in political circles to-
day that the fight for the Republican
nomination between President Tart
and Colonel Roosevelt, as far as the
New Jersey statewide primaries,
scheduled for Tuesday. are concerned
is about an even toss up. In the mat
ter of Governor Woodrow Wilson $
candidacy it is conceded in Democratic
circles that he will sweep the state
The fight will be held under the New
Jersey primary law, which. in addition
! to permitting citizens to vote for state
delegates. allows them TO express their
preference as to a Presidential nomi-
nation by voting directly for their
choice.
! In the present case the excitement
throughout the state in Republican
ranks has made the candidacy or Gov
Wilson a matter for secondary con
sideration, and has embroiled New
Jersey in a campaign equal in interest
and enthusiasm to the national cleo
ton. This excitement has been in
creased by the strong campaigns made
by the supporters of both men ant
their mutual claims to victory.
The Progressives base their predic
tions of victory in the primaries large
ly on a strong progressive elemen
that has in recent years overthrow

er Champ Clark Is regarded as an easy
victor in the Iowa State Democratic
convention. scheduled to take place

The recent county conventions re-
