CLIFF DWELLINGS OF
THE MESA VERDE
AND SILENT RUINS
LOCATED IN THE NORTHWEST
ERN PORTION OF THE COL
oRADo CANYONS.
HOUSES BUILT ON A Ledge
Communities and Only the Relics
That Have Been Dug From the
Ruins Give an Idea of the People.

General descriptions of the an
Client cliff dwellings in the canyons
OF southwestern Colorado are con-
timed in circular entitled General
Information regarding the Mesa
Verde National Park" recently Is
sued by the Department of the In
terror. In this park are about 300
cliff dwellings of which only, the
three largest have been repaired.
The largest ruin, called Cliff Palace,
stands about a thousand feet above
the bottof of the canyon and 300 feet
below the top of the ledge All the
other, the entire settlement forming
crescent about 800 feet in length
from end to end.
AS we contemplate these silent
ruins it is hard to believe that at one
time they resounded with the hum
OF industry, the laughter of children.
| tie droning of priests, and the strid.
ent cry of the sentinels calling the
warriors to battle. The dwellers Of
these abandoned communities have
lleft no written record, but the shape
OF the structures and the relics that
have been dug from the debris Of
centuries give some idea of how
these people lived and moved and
had their being. The main houses
were built on ledge close to its
front, and back of this was an open
space that answered the purpose Of
a court, street, a playground or
place for industrial pursuits, such
a. weaving and pottery making. At
Intervals along the front were towers
and bastions and in the interior were
kivas or secret chambers used for
religious ceremonies. In every vii.
lage were storehouses to provide q
supply provisions in times of war
or failure of crops.
The circular, which may be OBJ
tanned free from the Department Of
the Interior, contains information
regarding the accommodations in
the park, sketch plans of the prin-
clpal ruins, list of magazine articles,
and the rules and regulations pro-
mulgated for the protection of the
reservation.

Heretofore the platform has been pre-

nominated. 1t is evident that If the

THE cHAUTAUQUA.

TO the Editor of The Herald
The people of Columbia and v!cin-
ity owe the Kings Daughters debt
of obligation for their progressive
enterprise in securing for us the ex-
celleDt Chautauqua programme given
last week. II was an era In the in
te.lectual and moral life of the COM
n.unity and its benefits cannot be
measured by dollars and cents.
The attendance and interest In
creased from day to day and 1t was
conclusively demonstrated that Col
umbia audiences appreciate lectures
when they are really good. The
number of young people of school
age who listened from day to day to
these speakers was notable and the
influence on these young lives will be
far reaching.
The guarantee for another Chau-
tauqua next year demonstrated the
appreciation Of our citizens for this
better advertisement than an an
nual week of high-class entertain
nent such as the Chautauqua gives.
Among the many good deeds OF
the Kings Daughters for the bstter-
ment and uplift of Columbia, this
Chautauqua will be reckoned as one
Of the greatest. All honor to these
noble women.

Bryan for Chairman by Major

Special to The Herald
CONVENTION HALL, BALTI-
MORE. June 26.-Alton B. Parker, of
New York, with the solid backing of
the special interests and receiving
practically the solid Harmon, Clark
and Underwood vote, was elected
temporary chairman of the dem ocrat.
ic convention yesterday afternoon by
a vote of $40 to $40. He defeated
" lillian ]. Bryan, the champion of
the popular cause.
The Wilson strength in the conven-
tiCn went solidly to the Nebraskan,
and he got few of the Clark votes.
Tennessee gave Bryan seven and Par
ker seventeen. Bryan's vote came
from the temperance delegates while
the liquor crowd voted almost solid
| ly for Parker.
Bryan made a great speech in the
convention and aroused the most in
tonse enthusiasm. He said in part:
when Inow contrast the candidate
presented by the committee l can do
it without impeaching his character
or his good intent. (Applause). But
ny friends, not every one of high
character or good intent is a fit man
to sound the keynote of a progressive
campaign. (Applause). There are
seven millions of republicans in this
country, or were at the last election;
and ] have never doubted that the
vast majority of them were men of
high character and good intent, but,
we would not invite one Of them to be
Temporary chairman of our conven-
ton. (Applause). We have a great
many democrats who vote the ticket
who are not in full sympathy with the
purposes of the party. l not only vot-
eG the ticket but made speeches for
the candidate when l was not at all
satisfied with either the candi-
date Or the influences that nominated
him and directed the campaign in
1904. Great applause).
II assume that no friend of Judge
Parker will contend that he was en-
tirely satisfied in 1908 with either the
candidate or all of the plans and pur.
poses of our party. I remind you that
this Is not question where personal
ambitions or personal compliments,
or the pleasant things are uppermost.
We are writing history today and this
convention Is to announce to
the country whether this con-
vention will take up the
challenge thrown down at Chica-

CONVENTION HALL, BALTI
MORE, June FIT was 12:45 o'clock
or three.quarters of an hour late that
the third days session of the demo
cratic national convention was called
to order by Chairman Parker. The
delegates felt the effects of the mid.
night session and they were slow to
| arrive. When the convention was
called to order many of the dele
gates were not in their seats.
1t is expected that there will be a
long debate over the contests to he re.
ported by the credentials committee
fl ON South Dakota, Illinois and the
District of Columbia. By majority
vote of the committee on credentials
tie wilson delegates from South Da-
kota were unseated and Clark dele
gates we're seated. The fight over the
delegation from Illinois Is between
the Willie Hearst and Sullivan fac
tions, both crowds being instructed
for Clark Both sets of delegates
from the District of Columbia are
also for Clark. 1t is expected that
the vote in the South Dakota case
will be another test of strength be-
tween the reactionaries and the pro-
eressives of the convention.
After the report of the committee
on credentials has been disposed of
the committee on permanent organi-
zaticn will report. Ollie James, or
Kentucky, the choice of the commit
tee, will take the chair as the perma-
nent chairman.
After James concludes his speech
the roll of states will be called for
TIE nomination of candidates for
president. A ballot for president is
expected during the evening.
William j. Bryan and Senator
o German, of New York, have been
designed to the important task of
drawing the platform of the party.
Among the prominent visitors in the
convention hall today was Mrs. Will
liam Howard Taft, wife of the presi-
dent of the United States.

ADVER Using TALKS

Mr. Arthur Iiebes, a young man en-
gagged in advertising agency work, made
a speech in Toledo not long ago on the
value of the newspaper as an advertising
medium.
He cited this instance as illustrating
the waste that often follows in the wake
of general publicity:
IAN electric vacuum cleaner company
was advertising its products in a publca-
ton whose publishers claim reaches 15,O0O
postoffices in America Accurate data
show that there are but 5000 towns and
cities in America supplied with electric
current and of these there are 1000 where
current is available only at night, thus
eliminating all but 5000 cities and towns
where the cleaner can be actually utll-
led
Nobody questions the value of general
publicity after manufacturer has Sc
cured complete distribution, which IS
quickest secured by advertising in local
newspapers.
But to advertise miscellane9ously-
touching many spots and not covering any
one thorOughly-iS not a sensible or buSl-
neSSlike way to proceed
In many instances-like the vacuum
cleaner case cited by Mr.. LiebeS-general
publicity won't do at all. In such cases
only the spots where the article can be
used should be touched. and there IS no
way to do that except through advertising
in those spots, and the home newspapers
are the logical media to use.
The way advertising fits in is about as
follows
Ffrst-The newspaper in each community
a. fast as each community can be reach
ed by sane business development
Second-Fortify the newspaper campaign
with window displays, posters and street
car advertising, as it can be afforded.
Third-When all communities are de-
veloped, then use general media.
There will be plenty of business for US
all by this method of procedure And
there will be fewer failures in advertising
