WILSON'S RECORD PRAISED.
Speeches by Judge WesCott,
Nominating Wilson; Temporary
Chairman Martin H. GIynn,
Permanent Chairman ollie M.
lanes and William J. Bryan.
Statements Of the Nominees

st. Louis, June l5.-Rarely in the po-
litical history of the United States have
there been national conventions con
cerning which public attention has been
centered not on the men to be nomt-
mated, but on the declaration Of princl-
ples-the platform to be adopted. Yet
such was the case Of the Democratic
national convention which adjourned
here after nominating Woodrow VIII
son of New Jersey for the presidency
and Thomas Riley Marshall Of Indiana
for the vice presidency.
Long before the convention met it
was known that President Wilson
would be renominated. Concerning
Vice President Marshall there was
some doubt owing to the announced
ambitions Of a few prominent Demo
Gratis to take his place. But the differ
cnccs were SmoOthe1 out when it be
came known that the president desired
to have Mr.. Marshall for his running
mate again. SO Mr.. Marshall was re-
nominated by acclamation as we'll as
Mr. Wilson.

Chairman GIynn's Address.

The opening address of Temporary
chairman Martin II. Glynn, former
governor of New York, dealt with
many questions of domestic and for
eign policy, but the part which aroused
tho convention most was that In which
he asserted that In averting war the
president had followed the precedent
Of many men famed in American his
tory. Mr.. Glynn cited the names OF
many prominent Republicans who had
acted when in office as Mr, Wilson has

The distillers and brewers are sympathiz-
ing in advance with Georgia's newest prohibi4

show.
-~Northward the financial trail Of Billy Sum
day leads, and he is now in Baltimore trying
to save the souls of the financially able.
Some political candidates get absolute di-
vorces, as soon as they are elected, from every
promise they made before their election
A man who had been kicked bv mule, and
who lived to be kicked to death by horse,
certainly had a lot of faith in dumb brutes.
Salaries attached to offices in Butts County,
Ca. must be generous there are forty one
candidates after one office, there.
Henry Ford will breathe easier now, from
a financial viewpoint. The last of his Peace
grafters has returned home.
"Joy ride ends in snow says newspaper
item. Good; most Of them end in the morgue
for some of the riders.
Billy Sunday and ''The Birth of Nation"
have hit Baltimore at the same time, with
honors for gate receipts in favor of Billy.
And the goldman has taken new lease on
life, also extending a vote of thanks to the
grounding.
Politics, says the Baltimore Sun, is the bane
of the schools; also, it is the bane Of the
politicians.

and women.
Ibsin, who knew his day and time, wrote
a gripping story; it was "Ghosts." He strip
ped his characters to the skin, and in their
nakedness they were horrible but you and I
know such people as he portrayed. The son
of the man around whom the story was writ
ten, paid in one heavy toll-that of insanity
and blindness, for the sins of his father.
Realizing that he to pay the price, and
before his intellect was darkened for all time,
he told his mother of the result of a visit to
the physician who had told him his fate, and
he said: 'NIother, he said I was wormy in the
bud"
Are so many of our young men and women
'wormy in the bud''-dead to a sense of
honor because their fathers had none?
It's horrible charge to bring against us,
as people, and if even our higher education
has not stimulated the dormant sense that
plays so tremendously an important part IN
the life of every civilization then as Ma
ton, we are in serious condition.
It is with pleasure that the friends of Hon
orable Guyt McLendon note his appearance
again in public life: he delivered speech at
Griffin, and if he will be permitted, voice in
the management of the affairs of the Railroad
Commission of Georgia, that august body
won't show up missing In common sense, as 1T
has frequently done, since the famous 'lynch-
ing' of Mr.. McLendon.
We grant women are senSble-ln spots;
but when they will stand for "a clowns collar,
a green parrot perched on an Angora straw
hat, which is verbatum desert ption of a
fashion illustration we wonder when they
will have the moral strength to break from
''the tyranny of fashion,
Chicago claims that her chad boy problem"
is one of the worst she has to face; too bad
but if we can restrict immigration and then
have revival of the old fashioned father
and-strap combination, Chicago boys will
soon see the error of their ways, and reform.
No wonder there's such flock of "close
blood relatives" after the estate Of the late
Jim Smith, of Georgia; to date the lawyers
for the various clans have figured in four per-
fectly authentic mothers and five fathers for
Mr.. Smith, and he's dead, and can't dispute it.
Vermont is going to take her Ticker out Of
bottles hereafter and not out of sardine tins
and lard cans; local option bill has been
passed by an overwhelming majority, and the
distillers will have that to comfort them after
May the First, in Georgia.
Wonder if Vice. President Marshall
wouldn't like to swap jobs with Secretary-to-
the-President Tumulty? It's cinch that the
latter job has more of the supposed duties and

Chico, Cal.-Fifty dollars in gold. be-
lieved to have been buried more than
twenty-five years ago, was discovered
here recently by Mrs. John Grey. wife
of a shoe merchant of this city. while
digging in her yard. Mrs. Grey, while
seeking lily bulbs, turned up an old
can and found in it, wrapped up in the
remains of a handkerchief, the gold.
More than twenty-five years ago a
family by the name of Judkins occu-
pied the home. Mrs. Judkins was
known to have buried money, several
packages having been found by her
husband following her death. It is be-
lieved that this money also was hidden
by her.
The can contained one $50 and three
$40 gold pieces. The can in which they
had been placed was rusty, and the
cloth which had been wound around
thec coins was decayed and fell to pieces

GIRL LEAVES sICKBED TO

Far From Friends, She Seeks to Keep
Body From Potter's Field.

In Milwaukee, Wis, alone and PENN.
Maud McGraw fought pneumonia,
brought on by lack of proper care.
In Kokomo, Ind, Mildred McGraw,
eighteen years old, lay critically i'll.
So the days slowly passed in pain for
the two women in the little rooms so
far apart. They could not even ON
fort each other. And then another day
dawned-the girl was a little bit better,
but The older woman was dead.
To the sick girl in Kokomo two days
later there came Il letter With the name
of the Milwaukee county %coroner's Of
flee in the corner.
Her mother was dead, she read.
her, the letter said the body would be
buried in the potter's field unless mon
e,y was provided for funeral expenses.
Mildred didn't Cry as much as she
wanted to. She didn't have time. She
had to force herself out of that sick
bed. She had to somehow get to the
homes of friends and borrow money to
so to Milwaukee. In spite of pain and
weakness and sorrow she did those
things and arrived there-destitute
again.
She was told at the morgue that the
money to bury her mother must be
raised by next day. She knew no one
there, so she went to a newspaper Of
fee.
Don't you think there is some one
in all this city who will loan me
enough money to bury my mother?:"
she asked after she had told her story.
There must be at least one, if only
they can be told. 1 don't want my
mother buried in the potter's field.
I've loved her SO long! Surely we have
suffered enough now. That won't be
asked Of me, will it?
"Ill pay the money back. If 1 was
strong enough to work 1 wouldn't ask
a penny, but there is no other way"
The girls apprenticeship was thin,
pale and haggard-indicated that she is
too weak to do any work.

CLAIM TO HAVE FOUND
SCARLET fever GERM
Boston Psychologists Report Dis
covery of Baci|Ius-NeW York
Physician SkepticaI.

Boston.-Dr. f. b. Mallory. patholo-
gist of the Boston City hospital, and
his assistant, DR.. E. N. Medlar, have
discovered the bacillus that causes
scarlet fever, and it is believed it will
not be very difficult to work out an
antitoXin or vaccine for it's prevention
and cure.
This important discovery is laconi-
cally described by DR.. Mallory and Dr..
Medlar in a thousand word article in
the current issue of the Journal OF
Medical Research entitled '"The Ell
ology of Scarlet Fever"
1t is largely owing to the short life
Of the actual germ that it has evaded
discovery so long. The germs are found
soon after the skin eruption appears
and usually find Judgment first in the
tonsils or at the root of the tongue.
The germ is less virulent than the
diphtheria bacillus, although it infects
practically the same localities. DR..
Mallory says it is a ''grampositive ba-
cilli."
"a vaccine for the disease would be
the moro Important" says DR.. Mallory,
$50 as to render nurses immune to the
disease. Scarlet fever is not conveyed,
as many suppose, from the scaling of
the patient. When that takes place
all the germs in the body are dead"
1t was said by a New York physi-
clan that a number of doctors have
claimed the discovery Of the bacillus
of scarlet fever. but have failed to SUBJ
stantiate their claims.
