doors to spectators preventing an
earlier influx. The bands accompa-
MED delegations to the hall, but were
not allowed to march into the hall.
There was little excitement or cheer
ing during the half hour preceding
the opening Of the convention.
Moving picture machines were
planted at every vantage point
Because of the heat under glar-
ing skylight, many Of the delegates
soon removed their coats and it
promised soon to become a coatless
crowd
The Texas delegation tossed min
iaturc souvenir bales OF cotton to the
galleries.
At HAS the official band began
playing the opening selection in ac-
compartment to male quartet
that sang a new song about America
through megaphones, The song
brought the first applause Of the day.
Just before the convention was
called TO order, the band struck up

and the delegates rose, joining In the

with the rebel yell.

William J. Bryan was cheered as
he took his seat in the press section.
The applause for him started in the
galleries and then spread to the dele
gates. Mr.. Bryan smiled his appre-
citation and got out his pencil and pre-
pared for his reportorial duties.
A woody Tiger" was sent to
Chairman McCombs desk by New
York delegate.
The crowd was patient, orderly and
quiet as it waited for the conven-
ton to begin. A half hour after the
time set for the start the delegates
were still coming in.
Chairman McCombs took his place
at his desk at 1880 p. m, amid ap-
plause.
A few thumps Of his gavel on a

One verse of America" was then
sung by the entire crowd with tossing
flags keeping the rythm.
This was followed by one verse Of

the "Star Spangled Banner"
Rev. James w. Lee. Methodist
Episcopal clergyman of St. Louis,
read this prayer:
I'VE thank Thee, O Lord, beyond
and above all other things, at this
time, for the wisdom, conservatism
and patience shown by Thy servant,
the president of the United States,
and by those associated with him
in authority, which have enabled
them to keep the people OF this coun-
try out of the horrible and insane
war which is destroying the life and
threatening with bankruptcy and ruin
the civilization of mankind. From
the very bottom OF our hearts, O
Lord, do we thank Thee, that the
leaders called to guide our ship OF
state through the awful storm of FIRE
and blood that has been raging for
the last two years, have not lost
their heads.
Grant, o Lord, that there may be
one wide stretching region between
the oceans left as a refuge for the
stricken, starving and the hopeless of
all the earth. May there be one hos
pitable spot on the planet kept free
from the fierce heat of the world
conflict. May there remain amid the
falling rafters and gable ends of Eu-
ropean governments, one great
roomy political abiding place, in or
der that despair may not fill the hearts
Of men and destroy their faith in one
another and in the love Of the eternal
God, our Father.

ACHES AND PAINS

Don't neglect a pain anywhere, but find
out what causes it and conquer the cause.
A pain in the kidney region may put you on
your back tomorrow. Don't blame the
weather for swollen feet. It may be an ad-
vanced warning Of Bright's disease. A pain
in the stomach may be the first symptom
of appendicitis. creak in a joint may be
the forerunner of rheumatism. Chronic
headaches more than likely warn you of
serious stomach trouble. The best way is
to keep in good condition day in and day

beings to adjust their relations to
one another and settle their difficult
ties between one another without
practicing the laws of the jungles.
Let it be the function OF our coun-
try, through its constituted authorl-
ties to show to the world that man is
a higher being than the tiger and
hyena, and that he has other faculties
by means OF which to express him
self. in times OF stress and temper,
than by horns and teeth and claws,
such as the wild beasts use in max
ing their way in the world.
Give US peace and prosperity, not
that we may merely live to enjoy our
selves, but that we may use both to
bless our kind in all the world"
At the conclusion OF his prayer,
DR.. Lee turned to the Lords Prayer
and the convention joined him in its
sentences.
Address by McCombs.
Immediately after the prayer Chair
man McCombs delivered an address.
A real demonstration greeted Mr..
McCombs' declaration: THE elephant
is dead, the moose is dead long live

J. Bruce Kremer, secretary of the
national committee, then read the for
NAL call for the convention.
When Chairman McCombs an
nounced the temporary officers Of the

called to order, there were not more
than twenty delegates on the floor,
only few officials on the platform
and the galleries we're filling slowly,
There was little excitement and bands
that marched with the delegates from
downtown furnished the only amuse-
ment for the crowd.
Carpenters were beating tattoo
in finishing touches upon the hall
as the delegates filed in.
The delegates and alternates had
seats on the main floor, arranged like
huge oblong wedge, with the broad
side toward the platform. Their seats
were jammed together, arrangements
for both delegates and spectators be-
ing more congested than at either

plain under what authority they pro- ceed to employ a nurse to attend the Childrtn in our schools and by what process of law such action is author ized. The tax payers have expressed themselves very enphaticalfy on this subject on every occasion when op- portunity was afforded them, and 1t is plainly in defiance of public sentiment that they take the action they do. It is getting to be a very serious Ques- ton whether this is a government Of, for, and by the people or a government by a seIf-constituted commission of petty school officials who have taken 1t upon themselves to administer a re- buke to the intelligent citizens of this town for daring to, define their rights as taxpayers and parents, who object to turning our schools into hospitals at the behest of a goddess medical science and, naturally are opposed to furnishing clinical material in the per sons of our children to serve in lieu of guinea pigs and white rats in med ical experimentation.
 When our citizens voted to consoh- date our school districts and place the schools under the management Of one board in order to be strictly up to date, we were warned that we were about to place our schools in the tpnds of designing political schemers. and such has proved to be the case. Happily We made the venture for short time limit and, having learned our lesson will no doubt embrace the first opportunity to retrieve our error.
 Now the question arises whether, since we have established our right to name the price we will pay for medt- cal inspection we have not the same right to say how much we are willing to pay for school nursing or whether we indeed are obliged to employ and pay a nurse. If any law there be au- thorizing this board to employ a nurse today the same law was in existence on Oct. 6, 1913, when our citizens in town meeting assembled, most en- phatically dismissed the proposition even when the doctors proffered their services free. That it may be wise to discuss this matter once again in town meeting is the opinion of

A DANGEROUS COURSE.

While 1t might appear that the op- position to the granting of freedom to the Philippines was so slight that 1t led the senate to take the favorable action which 1t did, it must neverthe- less be realized that since it endorsed the Clarke bill there has arisen a mighty protest which ought to make the lower house sit up and take mo- tice.
 Even though Vice President Mar shall cast the deciding vote in the sen- ate 1t is not altogether sure that the president is in favor of fixing a time now when the islands should be given their independence. LindIey M. Gar rison registered his firm opposition to any such move though but a short time previously he was strongly SUD- porting the administrators conduct In the islands, and he is not the only one who sees the danger of following such course.
 It may be considered that the S4s- lands are nuisance, that they are a constant expense and a weak spot to this government, with many wishing that we had not assumed the obliga- tions there which we did, but that does not mean that this country can by any honorable move cast them overheard and tell them to shift for Themselves despite the certainty that they will drift into the condition which characterizes republics which have gotten even better starts than the Philippines have.
 No person with any principles of humanity would treat a dog in the manner in which it is proposed to treat those people. That they have been started right is credit to this country but all that would be quickly wiped away if this country adopts the policy of scuttle and allows them in the present condition to shift for themselves and fight for existence against the opposition that is sure to appear from within as well as with out. --.. .f~l5..yy yyRts;ssS;,s ga

REINFORCING BELGIAN OoNFl,
 DENCE,

Whether Germany made any offer or not to Belgium for separate peace, the rumor that it had having been de- nied, the action which has been taken by the allies in making another pledge at this time, that hostilities will not be ended until that unhappy country has reestablished its political and eco- homie independence and secured ann pie indemnification for the injuries 1t has suffered, giVs to that little coun- try the assurance which it needs should 1t be asked to consider such a proposition from the enemy.
 The allies have taken no different stand than they have always main ta1ned, and there has been nothing in their relations which would give Bel gium reason for thinking that they had, but the importance of reiterating the attitude and steadfastness for the maintenance of the proper amount of confidence on the part of King Albert and his people cannot be overlooked. In such time there can be none too much confidence scince that must be the basis of unity of action.
 Belgium had a right to expect just what has been guaranteed inasmuch as it is in keeping with pledges made years ago. It has from the time that it's boundary was crossed up to the present undergone some of the great est sacrifices and sufferings of the war. It held up the invaders when 1t meant much to France and England and the service that it has been able to render can neither be overlooked nor forgot ten. There is no reason and there could be no excuse for deserting that country but every additional promise of support that it gets simply forti- fies it in a manner which will permit it to feel certain 1t is right in turning down any offer of a separate peace should it come.

THE WAR PRIMER By National Geographic Society

"Dover, where German seaplanes have lately been shOwering high ex- plosives, might be called the bus mess end of the British Empire to- ward the continent; for when England wars in Europe her troops set out from Dovers harbor, whence they have gore to Germany, France, Holland, Italy. Spain, and Belgium in centuries past, and whence they are leaving to- day in an undiminishipg stream Tor scores of battlefieIds distributed clean across the continent from the open ocean to the Black Sea-" begins a primer on war geography just issued by the National Geographic Society at Washington.
 The city occupies a narrow break in the famous channel chalk clifIs, and it's harbor is formed by grand enclosure of the waters of the Straits of Dover by more than mile of piers. The chalk cliffs are honey-combed with military works, hiden guns and batteries and galleries through the rock. The fortifcation of this point, where England and continental Eu- rope approach nearest to one another, has been done as thoroughly as mill itary ingenuity can devise. Besides the works built into the cliffs, the harbor is guarded by a modern re- doubt, Fort Burgoyne, and other forti- fication- circuits. It has always been a SN dream of invasion via the straits and Dover.
 'tSo keenly have Englishmen felt about the subject since the days of the Northmen pirates, that they have several times refused to consider ser iously a project for linking Dover with Calais by tubes under the Chan nel to France, lest an insidious enemy some day march across unexpected in to their country under their protecting sea One company formed for the construction of such a dry-land way between Europe and England did man. age to get some lengthy reports made to Parliament, in which the sugges- tions were advanced that provision must be made, with the construction of any such tubes, for their hooding from Dover in case of an outbreak o1 hostilities between Britannia and any European Power. The idea, however was dropped as a dangerous one.
 Roman shipping visited Dover's port, and, probably, the Phoenicians before Roman times traded there. The harbor was fortified in the 4th cen tury, and the original defenses have been kept up-to-date ever since. The

oEoRGIAHs DUTY.

It must be @ curious state of affairs which exists in Georgia where one who professes to be in touch with con, dit4ons declares that he does not be- neve that the majority of the people of that commonwealth are in favor of lynchings but it must be realized that Governor Harding adds very little to support 1t when he decaare9 that while he fs opposed to lysachings he fs also opposed to the oomnsission of other cEames.

law and order on the part of that DOT ton of the people who are oppostd, to lynchings as well as by those who are not inclined to live up to the provis- ions of any law. Let there be an in- sistence by that majority opposed to lynchfngs that those tHvGlEed in such crimes be made to pa3 the psn- aity before a court Of justice ths aane as all other criminals and there win be one of the most edreotive moves made by the people of that state to wipe out. the blot which now rests up- on Georgia That will not come until the law is made to take it's course, not until those in authority are made to carry out their duty, backed up
 firmly by public sentiment, and not until Iynching is looked upon as a crime and treated as such. It can be done in that state as it is in others if the disposition really exists.

WHERE DOES GERMANY STAND?

Regardless of the opinion of Ambas- sador Bernstorff to the effect that the new submarine policy is not intended ; to be used against ships carrying non combatants or liners which make no attempt to escape, an entirely differ ent idea is to be gained from the at- titude of Germany when it declares that all armed merchantmen will be sunk after February 29.
 That makes no exceptions whatever, but bluntly declares that all armed merchantmen are the legitimate prey of the submarines regardless of the fact that promises have already been made to country that warning will be given to vessels before they are tor pedoed and that proper protection will be given to those aboard.
 How under such conditions Berlin could expect this or any other neu- tra1 country to look upon it's position as consistent it is impossible to un- derstand and it is natural that this government should want to know whether the assurances given in the Arabic and Lusitania cases are in force and if it is intended to respect them after the new order goes into effect
 It Is preposterous for Germany to suppose that this country is going to abandon its position under interna- ttonal law and take sides with any belligerent which is going contrary to it's provisions. This method of striking at the enemy through the neutrals has been attempted before but it can never be tolerated and no nation which is following the path of neutrality can afford to abandon 1t in such manner as would be necessary if this policy was accepted. This country does well in asking Germany where it stands.

IN ACCORD WITH PROMISES.

The almost daily destruction by fire or explosion of some factory engaged in the manufacture of munitions Of war, together with the conspira cies which 1t Is known have been carried on in this country to interfere with the industrial activity is unquestion- ably the reason why the crippling of every manufacturing plant, or the burning of piers and steamships are at once attributed to the work of for eign sympathizers.
 There are those who think, how ever, that this country has become hysterical over such affairs and that no allowance is made for accidents and the same reason for fires which exist in times of peace. It is or course to be remembered that when plants are being pushed to the limit, some running with two or three shifts of workmen every 24 hours, that there are additional opportunities for care 1essness to figure in some of the big fires, but it is also to be recalled that the confagrations are invariably in accord with threats which have been made and that they occur regardless of the increased precautions which are taken to prevent them.
 mat there are cases where fires have broken out in munitions plants and even resulted In their destruc- tion, without such being the result of well laid plots cannot be questioned, but there is too much activity and too great a reason for wanting to de- noralize American plants of that character to accept the excuses which might prevail under normal conditions The situation calls for increased vigil lance even where it Is supposed that sufficient is provided at the present time. It cannot be overlooked that the most of them are in accord with promises.
