Grounds Celebration.

Work was begun this morning at
the new fair grounds by force Of
carpenters and other workmen on
the erection of refreshment stands,
booths, platforms and other extra
equipment for the big Fourth Of

The leading features of the cele.
bration will be three horse races, q
pony race, two Marathon races, three
motor cycle races. athletic contests,
an old fashioned basket dinner and

more than $4,000 to draw from, the
celebration should be quite largely

COLUMBUS, o., July 2-With
the Taft and Roosevelt factions still
at logerheads, with no less than ten

when majority and minority reports
of the platform committee were sub

tanned ringing endorsement of
President Taft and of the platform
adopted at Chicago, while the minor

Great Convention Struggles
in Nominating Presiden-
tia1 Candidates.

/ Interest In the Baltimore conven.
tion, brought out by the many BAL
lots required for the nomination of
a presidential candidate, recalled he
fact that compared with some other
conventions. the oyster city battle
attains little more than the pr.spor-
tons of sltlrmish.
Back in 1889 Pierce, Of New
Hampshire. was dominated at the
close Of the for4y-ninth ballot and

It reconvened the next week, and

Another famous convention was
that Of the Democrats OF New York
city IN 1858. when Seymour vas
nominated on the twenty-second call
by exclamation. after fourteen can
didates had been, before the conven-
tlon.

tive yells.

Mr.. Patton then offered another
resolution directing that the Wilson
resolution be telegraphed immedI-
ately to John T. McGraw at the
Belvidere hotel, Baltimore, and this
gave the convention another chance
to make some noise, which, OF
course, was in the affirmative.
The Wilson resolution is as fol-
lows.
"Be it resolved by the delegates
of the Harrison county convention
the second day OF July that under
the conditions existing at the ma
tional convention now in session IN
Baltimore, we believe that woodrow
Wilson is the logical and strongest
candidate for president; that the
popular sentiment throughout the
country calls for his speedy nomIna-
ton and we believe that the sentI-
ment in West Virginia has so
changed in his favor that we con-
slider the instructions given under
different conditions should no longer
be binding upon the West Virginia
delegation and we urge said delega-
ton to support the man of the hour

Committees Named
Upon the suggestion of the tenn
porary chairman, the delegates of
each district organized by choosing
chairman and a secretary. A mo-
6ion by Or. IA. j. Kemper, of Lost
Greek, providing for the appoint
ment of one delegate from each dis
trict to act upon three committees
namely. one on rules and, order of

No sooner had the temporary

John Patton, who had been watch

was asserted this morning by tho
leaders that a majority OF the dele

practically hopeless, and some Of

some other means of naming a

Many leaders held that nomina-

on the belief that Illinois would vote

The allusion is to an ancient fable. It
was held that In his old age an eagle
was enabled TO restore to his decaying
body the forces and .gor of his early
years. Although there came a time when
he could no longer spread his wings and
ride above tho storm, yet, arriving at
tho period when his youth returns he
may once more unfold his mighty plnions
and with a triumphant Shrek mount the
strongest currents of the gale and reach
his aerie in the far away mountain crags
The lesson that is taught usshere in this
reference is plain enough, but the Bible
does not give its imprimatur to the an
Client fable. 1t simply wrests a beautiful
spiritual thought from the ancient no.

character in the Bible.

the stuarts. 1t is notorious that the
Purltans dwelt too much In the reign of
Old Testament law, of fiery judgment, of
fierce intolerance, of compulsory reform
of the other man.
Not one jot will repudiate of my ex-

That reaction will spend itself in vain.

church historians, who told us that "as
early as the second century" there is
evidence that the day had been "ehanged'
is unworthy the name of scholarship. It
is one of a number of pious frauds,
worked by good mon because they
thought excessice frankness likely to do
harm.
If the apostles had considered the use
of one day in the week as a Sabbath
necessary to Gentle Christians they had
an admirable opportunity to say so when
they outlined the letter of advice and In
struction recorded In the 18th chapter of
the Acts of the Apostles. The question
up for decision was precisely the question
involved by the Sabbath, viz: How far
must the Gentle convert observe Jewish
usages? The answer of that first eccle-
siastleal council was purely concerned
with ethical questions of moment, idol
airy, blood-eating, sexual vice. There
was a concession to Jewish ideas when
two of even these three items were en-
phasized as necessary" But there was
no mention of the Sabbath. Not even
James, reverent teacher of Mosaic and
Pharisaic righteousness, and called by
the non-Chrstian Jews the Just" had
any desire to enforce Sabbath observance
upon the non-Jewsh Christians. It was
that doughty son of the law who outlined
the message to the Gentle converts and
who omitted any attempt to make them
observe the Sabbath at all.
/ must be permitted further to instance
the relation of the Apostle Paul 20 the
Sabbath. He wrote one famous letter
to a group of churches whose members
had been sorely troubled by advocates
or Judaism, and who had apparently be-
