Romance Of Poverty.

The Of American poverty is
that remaining in 1t is optional. You
may be born to poverty but you are not
born to remain there. There are thou
sands born to uncertain existence and
retain their heritage. Other thousands
born TO like disadvantage change the
grade and rise above 1t. The chains of
environment hold hard, but they are
easily broken by an intelligent, ener-
getic will. Many Of life's finest noble
men are children Of hard times. But
they were fired with q fine sense Of
their worth, and the win to realize
ideals. The fact that others have risen
gave both example and motive. The
zeal Of their own blood did the rest.
And history has been proud to enroll
them among her favored sons. The
story is the a Of poverty.

made with a half-inch colored satin
ribbon and on each end is attached Il

PROGRESS|VES WILL
HOLD CONFERENCE
This Will Take Place of the
Convention That Was to
Have Been Held

New Orleans. July 2S.-John M. Par
ker, vice presidential nominee of the
progressive party, announced here late
today that Matthew Hale, as vice chair
man of the progressive national COM
mittee, has called a conference of the
party leaders for Indianapolis on Au-
gust to decide upon the course con-
sidered most advisable for members
OF the party to follow. Because of this
action, Mr.. Parker stated, the progress
sive national convention, which he pro-
posed should be held in Chicago on
August 5, will be abandoned, at least
for that date and place.
The decision of Vice Chairman Hale
to call a conference instead of Sec
ond convention at this time, Mr.. Par
ker said, was reached after confer
ences the last few days in New York
with Messrs. Colby of New York, Hop
kins of New Jersey, Lee and other
leaders, who have kept in close touch
with the vice presidential nominee by
wire each day. Mr.. Hale, it was stated,
is acting chairman of the national
committee at present, owing to the
apSellC0 dDTOdQ Oh NlCLOr MuFOOCk Oh
Kansas, the chairman.
In announcing the substitution of a
national conference for a convention at
this time, to which he readily assent
ed, Mr.. Parker issued the following
statement:
Hundreds of kilograms received by
me from nearly every state in the
union since the June convention and
the action of the national committee
indicate the true progressive senti-
ment is very strong and unit against
both old party machines.
Messrs. Hale, Colby, Lee and other
loyal progressive leaders have called a
conference for August 8 in Indian
apolis, to consider ways and means
and to make an early report as to
what, in the judgment of the confer
ence, are the most patriotic and wisest
policies to follow in the present stu
alton confronting the progressive
party. Therefore, no convention will be
held in Chicago on August 5, as 1 pro-
posed on July Is, but convention will
be held later, if it is deemed neces-
sary and advisable for the best inter-
ests of the party"
