AT THE ILLINOIS,

One of the enthusiastic devotees to
the culture of roses is the charming
little ingenue, Miss Isabel Rae of the
Baby Mine" company, which comes to
the Illinois next Monday. Miss Rae
has spent large share Of her brief
but busy life in that fascinating pur-
suit and is the fortunate possessor of
pretty farm in the heart of the
Orange mountains in New York state,
where she spends her leisure summer
months. Her rose garden is her para
disc. Here may be seen rare speci-
mems of the flower from every eli
mate, some of them so delicate that
only in the most favorable weather
can they be placed out of doors, while
others are hardy enough to weather
safely the most severe winter with
little protection. The guardian of the
little farm is an old German, an ex-
officer of the German army and an en-
thusiast himself on Horticulture. Old
Fritz was at one time a superintendent
of the Royal Botanical gardens in Ber-
lin and is a perfect encyclopedia of
flowers lore. He and his wife run the
place, and as Miss Rae laughingly
adds, even boss her like a child The

Camp Good Will, when filled to over

mothers AND children. With the eighty
who were taken out to the camp today
on the cool and shady hills of Rock

breaks by the accused, denunciations Of the prose-
cutors and court by the men on trial. attempted and
threatened assassination Of those engaged in secur
ing justice made the procedure one Of ridicule and
whimsical comment in this country
But the important fact is that the men were
convicted despite the fact that those who brought
it about know they have made mortal enemies of a
bloodthirsty secret organization, the ramihcations
Of which may not yet be known.
After all ii is a better record than many an
American court can show. II required two years to
obtain justice; some Of the men originally arrested
have since died. Men on the jury have seen their
children marry and themselves grandfathers during
their jury service. Some of them have been fnan-
cally ruined because of their service
Yet great interests in this country have STAYED off
justice not for two years but FIVE, ten, twelve years.
Some have escaped it altogether after years OF lit-
cation. Individuals initiating suits against Big Busi-
ness have died and their estates have been impov-
erished before any verdict has been rendered
lfjurymen and even judges have not been ruined
because Of their firm stand for justice, we have the
other side Of the sordid picture where jurymen and
judges have been corrupted so that they would not
measure out justice.
Italian court procedures may seem queer to
Americans, but the fact that they punish crime in
the face Of almost incredible odds proves that Amer
lean courts have yet much to learn.

office under Ben Franklin could beat

Until some six months ago we had a

This year at least twenty-five differ

WEDDING RECEPTIONS.

That great wedding reception that Richard
Harding Davis and his bride, known the stage as
Bessie Mccoy, gave in New York. Five hundred
attended it, and yet outside the dozen who formed
the bridal party, there was not who ever in
an evening gown a dress suit-and most of them
undoubtedly never saw either
Not one of them had sent the bride and bride
groom gift, not one of them had ever been on
speaking terms with Mr.. and Mrs DAVIS. The party
consisted of 500 tired East Side mothers and their
heat.fagged children and the reception held at
Coney Island, whittier the guests were conveyed on
q steamer chartered for the occasion.
Everybody had such good time that some of
them forgot to congratulate the newlyweds and the
kiddies were so tired by nightfa that it never
occurred to them to tell their host and hostess what
perfectly pretty party it all was
The question naturally arises, if folks are de-
termined to have wedding receptions and spend a
lot of money on them, why not spend the money to
make lot of people happy instead of making them
bored and uncomfortable, and why not engineer
these functions so that those who attend will let the
happy couple alone-just as they wish to be?

Says 1t Was Due to Bryan That
Wilson Won at Baltimore.
the Editor Of THE TIMES

To the Editor of THE TIMES:
The battle at Baltimore was between
brains on one side and bile and bad
blood on the other. Every dog has his
day. Yellow ours and ''houn' dawgs"
will howl when hit and hurt. They
may be expected to bark and bite at
the heels of him whose big boot beat
the breath out of them. The conven-
ton ours cunningly and cowardly at
tackled the bravest and most magniti-
cent living American citizen, the grand
est figure in American history, and
one of the greatest cha, acters of all
history.
William Jennings Bryan will survive
these slanderous, scurrilcus onslaughts
and Will shine with greater splendor
than ever before in 1916 when the ma
jority of the country's best citizens will
give the most beloved of its living
statesmen the highest gift within their
power, the goal Of his ambition, the
Presidency.
Woodrow Wilson won at Baltimore
through the masterful generalship of
Bryan. He will win a greater victory
at the polls in the battle OF the ballots.
He will win by the will of the people,
we'll marshaled for the fight against
misery, monopoly. and money marplots.
We want Wilson in the White House.
We want work, Bryan, beef. and bread
and butter. J. w. NIGH
