St. Louis.

1t is remarked that the ST. Louis con-
vention. whose proceedings began at
noon today, is a oneman affair. The
remark is true Mr. Wilson is 1t. He
commands his own nomination. notwith
standing the expression of his party at
Baltimore in favor of one term for a
President He commands the nomina-
tion of Mr.. Marshall, despite some we'll
known opposition in New York, Illinois
and Missouri. He has shaped the plat
form, and written part of it. He has
picked the two presiding officers and
read their speeches, submitted to him
for revision and improvement. There is
nothing but Wilson to the business.
Well, if there is blame who is to
blame' The democratic party. After
what has taken place in the past three
years, what democrat, in Office or out,
has warrant for kick now7 Have not
all of them, in one way or another, put
up matters to the President, until he
has warrant for the part he is playing !!
There have been numerous professions
to the White House asking guidance.
Whether the difficulty was legislation.
patronage, or what not, Mr.. Wilson has
been appealed to, and his decisions ae
cepted.
Now and then experienced politicians
some democrats along with many
republicans-havew wondered at the Presi-
dents willingness to accept so much re-
sponsibihty. 1t seemed too heavy for
any man to shoulder, and particularly a
man new to national life. But the
President has never once baked. To all
he has given ear, to all advice, until
now, naturally, he is giving orders to
all, and the orders are being obeyed-
Mr. Bryan is on hand. but only as a
writer for the press. Pacifcism fills
him. He disclaims any intention of
starting something" AS he sees the
situation and his duty, it is not his
put in" He will accept the ticket and
the platform. and do what he can for
the cause in the campaign. He accepted
the ticket and the platform in 1904, and
did what he could for the cause, but the
cause was defeated.
Defeat. however. did not end Mr..
Bryan. He survived. and was so strong
by 1903 that he resumed full control of
his party, and led it again in that years
campaign.
If the cause is defeated this year, will
Mr.. Bryan survive, and turn up in 1920
with following strong enough to con
troll the situation? With Mr.. Wilson
out of the equation-as he will be if
beaten in November-there will be but
one man in the democratic party ca
pable of disputing the way with Mr..
Bryan And contest between Champ
Clark and him for the mastery would
be the most spirited and exciting thing
of the kind the country had seen since
Blaine and Conkling locked horns for
mastery on the other side.

short time the House Of Representatives
has passed new law designed to safe
guard the emblem still further from i'm
proper use.
The flag of the American people is
perhaps the most beautiful Of all ma
tional symbols. 1t is alive with mean
ing It is the evolution Of many
thoughts, and it is a vitalizing token Of
the principles for which America stands
before the world. 1t is the subject of
the national anthem, written in circum-
stances to inspire the patriotism of
every citizen when he reads afresh Of
the battle from the smoke of which the
ringing lines were evolved.
Every child is being taught to respect
and to revere the flag of the country.
In the schools exercises are annually
held to direct attention to the impor
lance of observing the true meaning of
the emblem The three colors of the
bunting are dear to the American heart,
and the sight of the flag in a foreign
land is like life giving breath to the
traveller, long separated from his own
country.
These thousands of futtering flags in
the line today signify America at its
best. Every one of them thus borne
by the preparedness paraders should be
preserved as souvenirs of an occasion
that should always be cherished as one
of the dearest memories Of all.

Good Old Phrase.
Friends and fellow citizens"

Friends and fellow citizens!"
Hear the old refrain,
AS unnumbered tongues and pens
Get TO work again!
All distinctions disappear
In the social scheme.
Citizens, we all draw near
In friendliest esteem.
Though one citizen. alas,
Seeks another's wreck;
Though one friend may make a pass
For another's neck;
Through the cities and the glens
Comes the glorious call:
Friends an! fellow citizens!"-

PLAIN FACTS ABOUT
THE SHOE AND
LEATHER SIT
UAT|ON
An Open Statement to the Public
by Americas Leading
Shoe Retailer

We are publishing this statement
because We know that the public is
fair-minded and interested in knowing
the facts about the shoe and leather
situation.
Do you know that every single item
that enters into the making of pair
of shoes-leather, Innings, nails, thread
etc, has greatly increased in cost in
the last six months?
The causes of the general advance
are briefly, as follows:
LIST. The demand for leather is
greater than the supply-on account
of the decrease in number of cattle in
United States. For instance, in 1907
there was raised in the United States
81 .565, 731 beef cattle and there was
population of S7,S29,539; in 1909 there
was 49,S79, 900 beef cattle to a popu
lation of 9O,556,521; in 1911, there
were 39,679,00O beef cattle to popu-
lation of 93,792, 500; in 1913, there
were S6,O3O,0DO beef cattle to popu-
lrtion of 97026,000 and in 1916, there
we're 39.453,0O0 beef cattle to popu-
lation of 103,OOO,OOO.
ID Cost of tanning materials has
increased 100 per cent to 1000 per
cent owing to blockade of certain
ports.
Sd. Decreased supply of raw skins
by curtailment of some of the supply
centers due TO the European war.
4th. The freight embargo of East
ern railroads, due to shortage of ships
for carrying.
9Th. Increased marine freight and
insurance charges owing to the war.
9th Export of huge quantities of
shoes and other articles made of leath-
er to Europe.
7th. Increased leather consumption
in America, due to the greater employ
ment of labor all over the country and
more money in circulation from in
creased business earnings.
Sth. Autos have also made great
increasing infoads into the available
leather supply for upholstering as it
takes an average of two hides to each
car.
These causes have forced shoe
manufacturers to advance prices.
What Can the Public Do?
Buying the best shoe that can be af
forded and then taking care of 1t after
It is bought The cheapest shoe is
dear at any price, as is proved in the
long walk. II is not the dealers fault
that the price of shoes is going up.
He is net responsible for conditions
any more tan the man who sells
flour is responsible for the higher
price of wheat. The conditions are
general and will reach the farthest
points Of the world. And the farther
the point the more severe will be the
