HIS PLYMOUTH ROCK
 CROWED DOXOLOGY

ROCHESTER,, July 3.-Vernon Green, of West Rush, owns a Ply mouth Rock rooster, which he keeps in poultry yard adjoining the Lutheran church. Thus the birds have had all kinds of opportunity of hearing church hymns and sacred music.
 One morning recently he saw the Plymouth Rock rooster stretching it's neck and nmistakably growing tune. That is to say, he saw the neck and heard the tune. Mrs. Green then stated that she had noticed the bird on the previous Sunday listening as the doXology was sung and apparently trying to initiate it.
 Mir. Green, who is an accom-. plished violinist, got his violin and played the doXology through. Where upon the rooster Gin unconcealed de lighD repeated it faultlessly in a lusty crow Since then the bird has done the same thing many times and has been heard by several of the neighbors.

Bryan Praises the Democratic Platform
 "Great Comnoner Sets Forth His Ideas

declaration of unusual strength: Such provisions for decency, com fort and health in the employment of women as should be accorded to the mothers of the race
 The Philippine measure before con gress is indorsed and the promise of ultimate independence is renewed.
 A retirement provision for civil service employees is recommended, and the party is pledged to the en- fOrcempnt of the Seamen's act. Cor. sideration is promised for means and methods for the preservation of the public health and federal tuber- culosis sanitariums are suggested for the needy.
 These are some of the reforms which are specifically indorsed. Then comes reform of the first magnitude-a declaration in favor of such an alteration of rules of procedure of the Senate of the United States as will permit the prompt transaction of legislative business"
 It will be remembered that it was a similar demand in the platform of 1908 that led to the overthrow of Cannonism and the adoption of rules which put the House under the con- trol of it's members. Now, eight years afterward, the party attacks the last stronghold of special privi- lege namely, unlimited debate, and takes upon itself the task of putting the people in a position to carry out their will on public questions.
 One of the most striking victories won by the progressive forces is to be found in the platform declara- tion in favor of equal suffrage. The plank reads:
 we recommend the extension of suffrage to the women of the country by the states upon the same terms as to men,"
 Here we have a sentence contain ing only p words, less than four lines in the newspaper column, and yet it records a victory for which a multitude of women have been laboring for many, many years. The plank is not worded as strongly as many women desired, but it gives indorsement to the principle, and that is immeasurably more impor- tant than the details by which it is to be carried out With the doc Urine of equal suffrage indorsed by all of the three great parties, the advocates of the reform can now go forth with assurance of an early victory While the Democratic plat form and the Republican platform, also relegate to the states the exc cution of the principle, this does not seriously lessen the strength of the indorsement Some of the states may continue to resist, for while, the growing demand, but ony for

 The platform adopted by the Demo cratic national convention is one of the strongest dearest and most progressive utterances ever promul- gated by any party. It sets forth the party's position with CandOr and courage, and it covers all the issues before the country. The party ac- cepts the responsibility for what it has done invites judgment upon the record made, and challenges oppon- ents to specify wherein a mistake has been made or to set forth the policy which tHe Republican party would substitute for the policy pur- sued
 The challenge is sweeping: We challenge comparison on our record our keeping of pledges and our con structive legislation, with those of any party of any time" This is bold enough for a beginning and the platform continues to deal in the same spirit with all the subjects discussed
 The Federal reserve act is treated in a paragraph; the old banking and currency system Hong the refuge of the Money Trust has been sup planted by a new law, "a true de- mocracy of credit under govern ment control" which has already proved "a financial bulwark in a world crisis"
 A federal trade commission has been created and its purpose is that monopoly may be strangled at it's birth and legitimate industry en- couraged."
 The party reaffirms the "doctrine of a tariff for the purpose of pro viding sufficient revenue for the ope- ration of a government economically administered" and points to the Underwood law as measure ex- employing that doctrine. A tariff commission is recommend ed for the purpose of studying the tariff schedules in the light of the situation that may follow the war, with view to such readjustments as may be found necessary.
 The shipping bill is strongly rec ommended; conservation is advocat- ed and numerous measures for the advantage of the farmer are urged. The rural credits bill before con gress is indorsed and attention is called to other measures advocated or already enacted for the benefit of agriculture.
 The labor section of the platform gives the most complete and satis- factory program yet offered A liv- ing wage, an eight-hour day with one day of rest. safety appliances compensation for accident uniform child labor laws, and then follows

ed greatly The work of this convention aided still more.
 The convention can be summed up in few words Measured h. the speeches delivered it rank among the greatest of the Drra cratic conventions. Reference has already been made to the keyno.e addresses delivered by Temporary Chairman Glynn and Permanent Chairman James.
 The speech of Judge Westcott. of New Jersey, presentine tine name of President Wilson was master piece. It possessed both strength and beauty and was delivered in such a way as to eyince the speak CTS heartfelt interest in the honor able task which had been delegated to him.
 During the closing session. while the convention was waiting for the report of the Platform Committee. Senator Reed of Missouri, delivered a powerful address, presenting in his characteristic style a picture of what the country would have been had the Republican party been in power and followed out such a policy as it must have followed had it lived up to it's denunciation of what has been done
 Congressman Heflin, of Alabama. one of the most popular Democratic campaigners was called for during lull in proceedings. and delighted the audience with a speech abound ing in wit and logic.
 IL is worth while to note that there has been just one dominant thought in this convention, namely. that the President has kept the country out of war It has been the theme which, when forcibly presented. ha> invariably brought the delegates and the visitors to their feet The con " iIti'ii W tlS pI pNl'l uI "lldl Has DttH done in the way of economic reform; the delegates were determined that the party shall continue its onward course and secure further remedial legislation, but no one forgot TOT moment the worldwide war which Is spreading death among men and 
 imposing undeserved burdens upon future generations No one forgets for moment the danger which con fronts every neutral nation, the danger of being sucked into the flame. The horrors of the war have ness has alarmed them. They are grateful that peace rei2nS here. in spite of the unspeakable miseries into which so many nations have been plunged. This is the keynote of the campaign; this is the tower of strength to the Democratic cause. The President has kept us out of war that is a record upon which the party can offer him to the voters of the country.
 The convention grew in enthusiasm as it proceeded. Harmony was evi- dent everywhere, and yet harmony plus the enthusiasm that usually ac- companies a fight. When the con vention adjourned everybody was happy The delegates dispersed with the satisfaction of knowing they had contributed their mite to Demo cratic success, and a mighty mite it was. The visitors go home feel ing that the convention was well worth attending and wondering when there will be another convention of any party so militant for peace and so peaceful in it's militancy. ! The selection of Vance McCor- mick as chairman of the national committee is triumph for clean politics. His name and standing will add strength to the party

DEFICIENT BOYS ARE

BASEBALL PROOlGlES.
 SAN FRANCISCO, July 1-While Seattle boasts of a 2O-year-old one- armed boy, named Louis Penz, who can pitch. bat, run bases and gen erally play a star game of baseball, Vancouver owns deaf and dumb foreign born grammar school lad with little knowledge of the Eng fish language who is said to have signed contract with Walter Me Credie, of the Portland club of the Pacific Coast league, for 1917 His name is Louis Kotula
 Penz was shortstop until he fell one day while hunting. and his gun was accidentally discharged the shot lodging in his left forearm which was amputated He turned his attention to pitching and has has developed extraordinarily since he has had to use it exclusively. anQ believes it has acquired the addi- tional strength which was in his let arm. Those who have faced his pitching declare he has unusual speed.
 The remarkable part about this player is that instead of falling off in his batting, his percentage is higher since being compelled to use his right hand. In a recent game which PenZ pitched and won, he made five hits out of six at bat two of them being for doubles.
 Kotula is also 20 years old and a pitcher, and the strikeout sensa- tion of the Woodland club of the h ter-City league. He first attracted attention last spring by pitching four games in five days and win ming three of them. In a game with the Benson Polytechnic players this season he struck out 20 bat ters, and a week later famed 21 men of Company H, 21st U. g. h. fantry.
 Like Penz, Kotula's forte is saii to be in his ability to bat the balls notwithstanding the fact that pitch CTS generally are not conceded to figure in the batting averages of a club. His record includes a large proportion of hits that went for ex- tra bases. His contract with Port land is said to call for s175 a month. ATHLETIC FILMS ARE
