Chicago, Aug. 7.-Singing Onward,
Christian Soldiers" and the Battle

to the first national convention of the

fled OF their nomination and in the
midst of deafening cheers appeared be-
fore the delegates to voice their accept
ance and to pledge their best efforts to
the coming campaign.
For several hours during the after
noon and early evening the big throng
in the coliseum had listened to flow
of oratory in nominating and second
ing speeches in which the dominant
note expressed was the belief that vic
tory would come to the new party in
the November elections. Raymond
Robbins, of Illinois, pledged 100000
majority for the national ticket in Hi
nois and Clifford Pinchot predicted a
800, 900 majority for Colonel Roosevelt
and Governor Johnson in his home
State of Pennsylvania. These state
ments were cheered to the echo.
The report of the proceedings shows
that Col. John H. Mcdowell, of Ten
nessee, was present and pressed to the
front as one of the speakers, holding
aloft the symbol of a reunited North
and South, and pledging dear old Ten
nessee to the Moose party. Col. Nc
Dowell is now recognizing the farmers
institutes and will soon start the ball in
Obion County. He has another new
hobby.

Home, Sweet Home"
ware Co.

This Home, Sweet Home" is good to sing
For it's thrilling tune;
It stirs man like anything
At midnight or at noon.
Around the board beside the fire,
Beside the sky's blue dome,
There's nothing mortals can inspire
Like that old Home, Sweet Home"
But it is not enough to yell
That Home, Sweet Home" refrain; a
For men should practice it we'll
If home shall sweet remain.
It's not enough to loudly shout
That old familiar air;
It's something we must carry out
Boost Home, Sweet Home" for fair
I've heard a man who sang it loud
Whenever he had chance
He loved to yell it in crowd
And ev'ry circumstance.
But when a catalogue he met
With ow-grade goods for sale
Then Home, Sweet Home" he would forget
And send for them by mail.
If all of us should do the same
If many send their cash
To help the old mail-order game
The town will go to smash.
The grass will gather in the street,
The crops uncut decay
And home, that once we sang as sweet,
Will droop and pass away.
Oh Sing that Home, Sweet Honey stuff
1t thrills us through and through
But singing songs is not enough
There's something else to do.
Let's send no more our cash to roam
To make the millionaire
Let's boost a bit for Home, Sweet Home
With Home, Sweet Home" be square

When we kids used to meet.

It's only twenty feet.

REBEL JUNTAAT
 WORK IN CAPITAL  Presence Adds Much to h. terest Felt by the Latin
 American Colony

Washington, August T.-Appearance in Washington of an active Nicaraguan junta, working in the interest of the lib- eral party, and laying plans for bringing pressure to bear upon the state depart ment to cause a change of policy in the handling of the Nicaraguan revolutionary problem has added much to the interest felt by the Latin-American element here.
 In the absence of any direct news from Managua in the past forty-eight hours owing to continued interruption of telegraph service in itself a potent sign of intense activity on the part of the re- bels, the attemptse here to bring about settlement by diplomatic means are being watched with interest.
 Envoys in Washington from the liberal party are Francisco Altschul, who was consul general for his country under the Zelaya administration, in New Orleans and Angel Ugarte.. one time Honduran minister to Washington, but afterwards a liberal leader In Nicaragua. They are seeking to reach the state department with proposal that the American naval force there be diminished to a mere le- gation guard and that then the Ameri- can minister should demand that all fac tions including the government submit the question of political supremacy to the people in a fair election with the important stipulation that the large num- Der of liberals, dsfranchised by the cler- ical party should regain rights of citi- zenship.
 It is regarded improbable that the state department would entertain any proposal for the dminution of the Amer lean force now In Nicaragua, so long as the present semi-anarehistic conditions continue.

sTAKo supERsEDEs HELMET
British War Office Reviyes Historic
 Old Headdress

 From the Pail Mall Gazette.
 The war office has at last definitely de- cided to adopt the shako for the full dress headgear of infantry of the line In place of the heavy and clumsy helmet.
 The pattern to be adopted differs slightly from that worn for so many years by our infantry and will be much lower in the crown, approximately more to the kepi of the French infantry.
 The new headdress is extremely light to wear and will be of q uniform pat tern throughout the service. 1t will be worn only by the infantry and the royal artillery. The royal engineers, the army service corps, the royal army medical corps and other branches of the service will continue to wear the helmet until the new pattern can be provided for them.
 The white helmet is also to be re- tained for the Indian service, and for the present the khaki helmet for the colonial service is not to be discarded.
 Some new shakes are already manufac- tured, and it Is proposed 10 send soi- dler wearing one of them to Buckingham palace in order that it may be examined by the King, who will have the opportu- nity of comparing it with the present pattern helmet.
 Large numbers of the new shako are to be manufactured immediately, and 1t is hoped that the whole of the infantry at home may be equipped with them not later than the end of next year.
 It will not be necessary to apply to parliament for a supplementary estimate for the isue of the shako, since the war office has funds in hand out of which the cost can be met.
 No decision has been arrived at yet as to the troops which shall first receive the probably be made with those at Alder
 l.- announced.
 It is proposed that only the royal regi- ments shall wear plume with the shako. though of course the plumes worn by ti.5 Scottish regiments that now have this headdress will not be interfered with.

Chicago. August 27.-There may be no American defender of the Gordon Bennett worlds championship aero plane trophy in the race here Septem- Der '. in spite of the expenditure of s15,000 by a Chicago syndicate for a racing aeroplane designed to travel 125 miles an hour.

 With Thomas refusal it became known that Glenn H. Martin, the Pa ciflc coast aviator, had volunteered to see what he could do" toward get ting the racer in shape for the race. Martin, however, is under suspension of the Aero Club of America because hs participated in the unsanctioned

 How Reach the Question?
 How rash to forfeit the charter of ev- cry corporation which carries another or by gentlemen's agreement lives in open and notorious adultery with another? Can this be done? Why not? corpora tion is only creature of the state or ganized to do definite things It is only artificial with conferred powers. With limited liability a corporations powers are also limited to those expressly con ferred by its charter. The states can re- yoke these charters. few revocations and a few shaved heads will take the swelling out of some of them, and teach the others not to swell
 There is another solution. Make the lawyer who counsels. aids, abets or ad- vises the formation of trust criminally liable. He should be held responsible. He would not buy jimmy for prospec- tive burglar. Yet he knows if he will but stop to think that many a contract which he draws is more burglarious than jimmy If he will not quit, make him partfceps crimints."
