BOY IS IT" IN
THE EYES Of
THE WORLD
REV. VAN HORN TALKS ON
YOUTHS AT 18TH ANNUAL
CONVENTION OF CHRISTIAN
ENDEAVOR CONVENTION.

&. When Rev. +. j. Van Horn of
Seattle was little boy his father
would take him i'm his arms and
say:
Look me squarely i'm the eye and
tell me what you see there"
~ see a little boy" would an
swer the younger Van Horn.
This morning he used this as a
basis for the opening address be-
fore the 18th annual convention of
the Christian Endeavor Union of
Washington and Idaho. Fully 500
delegates were in attendance, the
Seattle delegation, 200 strong, ar
rived this morning by boat and
marched In body to the First
Christian church and serenaded
the delegates with Christian En-
deavor rally songs.
Just as Rev. Van Horn saw the
little boy in his fathers eye, being
his own reflection, so are the
young people of today in the eye
of the world. His address was a
masterpiece of simplicity, appeal
and forceful logic.
I0day is known as Seattle day,
Rev. e. A. King presiding. Fol-
lowing a quiet hour" conducted
by Rev. H. F. Burgess, superin-
tendent of the state union, Rev.
Van Horn delivered his address at
$3.50. At 10 o'clock Rev. r. H.
Milligan spoke on "Fettishism in
Africa" and this was followed by
sectional conference. An evan
gelistic meeting marked the noon
hour, and the afternoon was given
over to addresses by Rev. G. J.
Jenkins, Rev. Murdoch Mcleod,
Rev. Edgar c. Wheeler, Mrs. e. c.
Knapp, Rev, James Elvin, and
songs by choruses. This evening

BALTIMORE, June 26.-The
rules committee of the democrat.

noon by a vote of Fl to 10. agreed
to recommend to the convention
at its session tonight that tie re.
quest of the resolutions committee
to have consideration and adOp-
tion of the platform follow, In.
stead of precede, the nomination
of the national ticket, be carried
out.
This was a distinct victory for
the progressives, as the plan was

FIFTH REGIMENT ARMORY,
BALTIMORE, Md, June 26.-
Refusng to subside even after
yesterdays defeat, the progress
sives in the democratic national
convention today engaged in a
desperate effort to reverse yester-
days setback and succeeded In
regaining much of their lost
ground.
The first victory was i'm re-
versing the program of the con-
servative steering committee,
which intended to continue the
temporary organization and make
Judge Parker the permanent
chairman. Instead, the progress
ssves forced the election of Ollie
James OF Kentucky by the COM
lnittee on permanent organiza-
tion to be permanent chairman.
Although instructed for Champ
Clark I'm the presidential fight,
James is progressive and one of
Rryan's closest friends. HIS key
note speech is expected to be
strongly progressive.
Bryan today repudiated the
Murphy hy-Taggart-Sullivan attempt
to mollify him, and refused cleo
tion as chairman of the resolu-
tions committee. He also made
It plain that, unless an out and
out progressive platform Is adopt
ed he will return minority re-
port and carry the fight back to
the floor, even to the voters of
the country II forced to do so.
Bryan forced an unprecedented
step by having the resolutions
committee dey,and that platform
be not adopted until the candi-
dates are named.
The effect OF this will be that
even If a conservative should get
the nomination he will have to
run on radical declaration oi
principles.
In place of Bryan, John w
Kern of Indiana, the commoner's
closest friend, was made chair
man of the resolutions commit
tee. Because the credentials

vention marked time" today

ty leaders. The real business
will not begin until tonight.

listing laws it was impossible to secure

Insanity seizes upon the bachelor
with greater ease than upon the bene-
dict, despite the worry the latter is
supposed to undergo. according to
the report OF he government hos
pital for the insane, just submitted to
Secretary Of the Interior Fisher. An.
other fact brought out by the report
is that out OF nearly 5000 patients in
the institution only three are being
treated for insanity brought on by
the use of alcohol. This is contrary
to the generally accepted theory,
which contributes TO alcoholism a
large proportion of the unfortu-
mates.
A significant feature Of the report
lies IN the statement that there are a
far greater proportion of foreign in
sane patients than American, aid thta
of the foreigners the majority are
Germans. That insanity, in a large
measure is hereditary. is evidenced
by the statement that the asylum sci
entists have discovered one family in

GERMANS GIVE UP THE PIPE
Paper Smokes Gain in Favor and Sta
tisties Show That Ten Times
as Many Are Used.

Berlin.-The typical pipe of the
German IS passing out and giving
place to the cigarette in spite of the
devotion of the older Germans to
their pipes or penny cigars.
Statistics just published show that
the number Of cigarettes consumed
has increased more than tenfold
since 1897, when the billion mark was
passed, the figures being for 1907,
7,S2O,O0O,OOO; for 1908, S,69S O00,OOO;
for 1909, 9,5OS,OOO,OOO, and for 1911,
70, 03,000,000. These figures include
the stamped hulls used by persons
who prefer to make their own ciga.
rettes but who are not allowed to
escape the cigarette tax and they
show that the consumption has al
most doubled in the last five years.
Assuming 2O,OOO,OOO adult male
smokers in Germany, this gives an
average consumption per smoker of
62O cigarettes year. The great bulk
of these are cigarettes of the cheapest
sort, 81 1-2 per cent of those sold in
1911 retailing at 1-2 pfennigs (three
for cent? or under and 35.7 per cent.
falling in the next grade, retailing at
2 1-2 pfennigs apiece. All in all. the
German smoker, it is estimated, burns
up 100000 marks, $62.50O.000. in
cigarettes annually.
