STAND BEHIND PRESIDENT"

St. Louis, June l4.-With the asser-
ton that no president since the civil
war has had as crucial problems to
solve; and no president has displayed
grasp more sure, a craftsmanship
more profound, as President Wilson,
Eon. Martin H. Glynn, former COVER
nor of New York, opened the demo-
cratic national convention here today.
Declaring that "Americanism and
peace, preparedness and prosperity
are the issues upon which the demo-
cratic party stands, and the heart OF
democracy swells with pride that is
more than pride OF party, as it halls
the man who has asserted this Amer
icanism, assured this peace, advocated
this preparedness and produced this
prosperity" he predicted the re-elec-
ton Of President Wilson, .g.-.so 4
Taking up our foreign relations, that
has been called into emphatic promi.
ncnce by the worldwide war, the
speaker declared that I'VE have en-
tered this hall as democrats; we shall
deliberate as Americans"
The policy OF neutrality, he argued, is
as truly American as the American
flag. For 200 years neutrality was a
theory; America made it a fact.

tions today the president OF the Uni

Decatur Bank Hits
Guaranty Fund Blow

Lincoln, Neb., June l4.(-Special
Telegram) m)--According to a report
filed this afternoon with Secretary
Roysc OF the State Banking board
by Bank Examiner T. R., Kelly, who
has been i'll charge of the Decatur
State bank since its trouble, $35,432
in notes, given by Indians, and $780,
438 in paper where the value is qucs-
tionable, is in the bank. The exam
iner has found $l2,356 which he
knows is no good.
An estimate would make the loss
of the bank in the ncighborhood OF
$4,000, but the state guaranty fund
will probably have to be called upon
for larger amount, Q part of which
will eventually be returned.
There was about $4,000 in cash
on hand when the bank went broke
and the examiner has collected ST.
600 more. There is $l,l00,000 at the
present time in the state guaranty
fund, and the coming assessment
will add about $50,000

GLYNN PRAISES THE PRESIDENT

Coliseum, St. Louis Mo, June IL
With the keynote of "Americanism
and peace, preparedness and prosper
ity,' the democratic national conven-
ton began its first session shortly
after noon today with not a single
element in sight to disturb the har-
monious denomination of President
Wilson and Vice President Marshall.
When National Chairman Nc
Combs called the convention to order
10000 delegates, alternates and spec
tators packed the big coliseum to the
roof.
Members of the national commit
tee, members of President Wilson's
cabinet and party leaders from all
over the country had places on the
platform. Plaster medallions of
Washington, Jackson, Jefferson and
Cleveland looked down upon the dele
gates from the decorations, which
consisted uniformly of nothing but
the American flag. The only pic
ture of President Wilson in the hall
hung in front of the speakers desk
inscribed American First"
Vice presidential booms wilted by
President Wilson's direct word that
he desired the denomination of Vice
President Marshall, were brought to
the invention hall, but only as ia
vorite son compliments.
Kremer Reads the Call.
When National Chairman Nc
Combs had called the convention to
order the next business was the read
ing of the call by Secretary J. Bruce
Kremer.
Former Governor Glynn of New
York was next with the keynote
speech.
Down under the speakers stand d.
rect telephone and telegraph wires to
the White House carried momentary
reports of the proceedings in the
hall. All prospects of fight in the
convention had gone glimmering over
night with-4William J. Bryans an
noancement that he did not propose
to press certain planks before the
resolutions committee and that he
would make campaign speeches for
the democratic nominee.
1--WE have entered this hall as
democrats; let US deliberate as
Americans" declared Mr.. Glynn in
sounding the keynote.
ut is the business of this conyen-
ton, representing every section of the
United States, speaking for every ra-
cial strain in America to send forth
message to all the world that will
leave no room for doubt"
Wilson Keeps the Peace.
Reviewing President Wilson's con-
duct OF foreign affairs, he declared
the president had stood with WASH
ington, Adams and Grant, who had
preserved peace with honor.
For vain glory or for selfish pur-
pose" Mr.. Glynn declared, "others
may cry for a policy of blood and
iron, but the president has acted on
the belief that the leader of nation
who plunges his people into an un-
necessary war, like Pontius Plate,
vainly washes his hands of innocent
blood, while the earthquakes and the
heavens are darkened and thousands
give up the ghost.
"If Washington was right, if JEFF
ferson was right, if Hamilton was
right, then the president is right to-
day." he declared.

TAKES SHOT AT ROOSEVELT

ST. Louis, Mo-, June l4.-In calling
the democratic national convention to
order at noon today Chairman Will
liam F. McCombs of the democratic
national committee, spoke as follows:
Ladies and Gentlemen Of the Con-
vention: y
I'VE are in an atmosphere of vic
tory. We have not feeling Of guess,
but a spirit Of certainty. We meet to
celebrate the marvellous achievements
of the democratic party since it came
into power and to place a milestone
upon the path Of its future success.
"Over 1000 years ago, an old slave
related the fable of the frog who
wanted to grow to the size of an elc-
phant Such was the ambition of his
soul that his body was swelled to a
marvellous proportion. Indeed, Aesop
went so far as to predict that the frog,
upon reaching the size of the ele-
phant, would burst. commend to
your notice the wisdom of Aesop. 1t
took over 1000 years for his prophecy
TO come true. Only last week the

in the main, what the democratic
party has already done or is in the
process of doing, saving always, the
bogus god-protection.
at has cloaked its iniquity with a
judicial robe, but the cloven hoof Of
special interests still protrudes. The
board of directors has sat in Chicago
and again is resolved that they are

doctrine of foreordination and pre-
destination, but have made it applica-
bic only to themselves.
THE rest of the people arc their
wards-for profit.
Ambition is a noble attribute, btu
when it is aduterated with greed, a
cataclysm is inevitable. We have
recently witnessed the painful specta-
Gle of two great American parties
at Chicago, putting self in place of
ideals; self-glorificat,on IN place OF
national honor; republicanism and
progressiveism, so-called, in place OF
Our only 'ism'-Amcricanism.
"Wt have witnessed the drab spec

principles like competitors in fish

promise would win public support.
They have not come together-thcy
have fallen out over the 'swag. For
the sake of victory, many of these
men, essentially opposite in principle,
have been willing TO become friends
with false masks. The result is in

proud in the though, that united we

EARLY HIGHWAY ADVOCATES.
Use of Federal Funds for Building OF
Roads Is Not New.

The use Of national funds for road
improvements was urged early in the
history Of this country by Alexander
Hamilton. A little later Albert Gallatin
succeeded in securing the passage by
Congress of an act setting aside one
twentieth of the proceeds of the sale of
public land in Ohio for building a high
way from tidewater TO the Ohio river
In 1906 President Jefferson appointed
three commissioners to locate this
route. which ran through Maryland
Pennsylvania and Virginia. The first
contract for construction was placed
in 1910. and in 1918 part of the road
was opened to travel II was called
the national road and was built with
national funds exclusively. SO that the
bill just passed by Congress to furnish
money for roadbuilding proposes moth
ing new. The federal government did
not have the same views then that it
has now of the Importance of main
tanning highways.
The national road was the main thor
oughfare for the heavy travel between
the seaboard and the Ohio valley. and
lack of maintenance resulted in the
road becoming very poor. In 1881 Penn
sylyania asked Congress TO turn over
to her care the portion of the road
within her boundaries. and Maryland
and Virginia also made similar re-
quest somewhat later. Unfortunately
state control did not result in any
marked improvement. The counties
which had charge of the portion: with
I'm their boundaries Ga "ot pay much
attention to highway improvements and
II was not until the mparatively re-
cent organization Of state highway de-
partments that the old national road
was given any real care
In the last ten years. however. recon-
struetion has been going on steadily.
In about two years the entire length in
Pennsylvania will be in good condition
and the portion in Maryland is also
very nearly reconstructed. Farther west
the old highway is not in such good
condition, although sections Of it have
been rebuilt there. So this early ven
tuye in national roadbuilding. success
full until the railroad took its place. is
aeatn in q prominent place among the
highways OF the country.
