DEMOCRACY HAS MADE GOOD,
SAYS SENATOR OLLIE JAMES
Speech as Permanent Chairman Of St. Louis
Convention Recital of His Party,s
Achievements

umph of patriotism above politics. sem
ator James said the denomination OF
such a President. in partisan convention
ought not to be necessary. and that to
discredit him might palsy the handsthat
would write the peace treaty OF the
world.
At the outset the senator referred
briefly to President Wilson's campaign
against lobbying in Congress-. and
pointed out that under this admins
tration the Constitution had been
amended for the first time since the
civil war. when I'VE freed the Senate
from the control Of the great interests
by making it elective by the people
at the polls" He then eulogized the
Underwood-S Simmons tariff act as one
of which the party was justly proud.
No Schedule Fosters Monopoly.
Not schedule in it fosters a mo-
nopoly," he said. Our republican
friends told us it would close the fac
tories. fill the streets with idle men,
produce panic, create soup houses and
distress would reign everywhere; but
we rejoice today to point to an unex-
ampled prosperity in the nation with
labor more generally employed. at high
er rates. shorter hours and better con-
ditions than ever before. Our republic

over poor. stricken, PROSTATE, torn,
bleeding Europe will take our home
market from us. have no such fear
America is going to take the markets
of the world. But we shall cut from
them the last hope of having even a
false issue, for we shall pass a bill
creating a tariff board to gather the
facts created by new war conditions
Turning to the federal reserve law,
Senator James declared that it alone
averted a panic at the outbreak of the
European war.
What would have been the result
if the old republican system had been
in effect?" he asked. The stock ex-
changes in every city in the world
were closed. Europe poured its vast
holdings in plethargic streams upon
our shores. Who thinks that the old

guidance of those patriotic guardians

ST. LOUIS, June 15.-The achieve
ments of the Wilson administration in
enacting beneficial legislation and in
keeping the country at peace without
sacrifice Of the national honor were
pronounced epoch making in American
history by Senator Ollie NJ. James of
Kentucky. in his address today as per-
manent chairman of the democratic
national convention.
During three years of its national
CONTROL" said Senator James. "democ-
racy has enacted into law more pro-
gressive remedial legislation than the
nation has ever had written upon its
statute books since its BIRTH. In for
mer national contests in the last two
decades our party came as prophet.
Today we come with deeds, not words
with performance. not promise. The
democratic party has kept its word
with the American people. We have
made good"
The chairman reviewed at length the
legislative record of the administra-
ton. and eulogized the President for
his, direction of foreign affairs. The
democrats. he said. had enacted a
tariff law under which monopolies were
curbed and unexampled prosperity at
tanned; banking law taking the
money control out of the hands of
an oligarchy and making panics no
longer possible, and many reform
measures of lesser Importance.
Defends Foreign Policies.
He declared President Wilson's Mexi-
can policy and his course in protecting
American rights against the encroach-
ments of European belligerents had
shown all the world that the President
neither DULLES the weak nor fears
the strong"

United States to plunge his country into
war II he Is a politician before he is a
patriot. He would seek his own re-
election as he came upon horseback up
the bloody highway Of the contendng
armies. OF course. our army could in
wade Mexico and march in triumph to
other armies would march-an army Of
widows and orphans. an army Of Grip
Piles and men broken in health. an

ings Of the people to pay the great

The President had acted quickly. the
senator said. when there was an in
vasion of American territory, and the
punitive expedition now was doing all
that this country could do with honor
in Mexico.
NO President during the life Of this
had to deal with so many delicate and
dangerous problems as those which
have confronted President Wilson.
With more than half Of the world In
arms in Europe. with Mexico in revolu-
ton at our border, these difficult and
complicating problems have confronted
him almost daily. and he has handled
them as becomes patriot and a states
man.
Would Have Meant War.
when the Lusitania was sunk the
l
cried out for war, and II he had been
President of the United States at that
time. today 100000 brave American
sons would be contending around the
forts of Verdun in this mighty mael-
strom of blood-thousands would have
been buried in bitches. Our President,
patient. patriotic. far-sighted, the real
statesman. handled this question with
the greatest ability and won for Amer
lea its greatest diplomatic victory.
There are happily two kinds of cour-
age, the courage of the man who is
willing to undertake the dangers him
self and the courage of the man that
sends others to the conflict. Woodrow
Wilson has both kinds of courage-the
courage of conflict and the courage to
act coolly and sensib1y when he is
dealing with the lives of others-the
fate of nation.
-Four years ago they sneeringly
called woodrow Wilson the school
teacher. Today he is the world teacher
His subject is the protection of Ameri-
can life and American rights under in
ternational law. And without orphan
widowing single American mother
without firing a single gun, he wrung
from the most militant spirit that ever
brooded above a battlefield. an ac-
acknowledgement of American rights and
an agreement to American demands
He has elevated himself to that lofty
but low1y eminence, occupied by George
Washington, Abraham Lincoln and
Woodrow Wilson, the three worst
abused and best loved Americans the
republic ever grew"

at that moment spied large Santa Claus who stood on the opposite cor ner ringing bell and asking the pas sersby to drop a coin in the bowl for a Christmas dinner that would be giy- en on the twenty-fifth of December at the Wayfarers' lodge.
 The child made a dash across the street to tell Santa Claus what she wanted him to put in her stocking, when she received terrific blow from behind. Then it seemed as though she were falling-falling- ng-down-down. Then pair of strong arms lifted her and she heard q soft voice which seemed to come from a great distance say-"Smith, is she much hurt? Poor little puss."
 Lena awoke next morning and found herself in a soft white bed in a room so beautiful that her first thought was "I must be dead and this sure is heaven" A white-capped nurse bent over her.
 She tried to glance about, but the pain shot through her head and made her close her eyes.
 Then Lena experienced something that she had not felt since her mother had died-a caressing touch and a kiss.
 Lena had been badly hurt and it took several weeks for her to get even well enough to sit up in bed. Christ mas morning dawned cold and clear, and the child was allowed to see what Santa had brought her.
 At the foot of her bed stood a gor- geous Christmas tree, such as she had often seen in the great toyshops, but never in the widest flights of her fancy dreamed of possessing. On the floor beside the tree. in tiny little wicker chair, sat the big doll with the shutting eyes" that she had seen in the shop window. Then the beau. tiful lady came over to her bed and. putting her arms around Lena, said 1:
