CONVENTIONS OF 1850.
An Iowa Man Drafted Iincoln's
Platform.

an IOWA NAN drafted lincoIn's
Platform.
In these days OF national party
conventions we are reminded BY one
OF the research men Of the State
Historical Society Of Iowa, that It
was John A. Kasson. one Of the
Iowa delegates to the Republican
National Convention in 1880, who
was real Trainer Of the platform
upon which Lincoln ran for the pres
idency. Kasson was member of
the sub committee OF the committee
on resolutions. In long night
session, after the balance Of the SUBJ
committee had retired exhausted,
Kasson and Horace Greeley sat UP
till long after midnight to complete
the document.
Kasson reported the platform to
the general committee the next
morning and 1t was adopted unan-
imousiy. Greeley. in his New York
Tribune OF May 22nd. said: 1.-THE
platform presented. 80 generally
satisfactorily M It has proved, is
eminently duo to John "A. Kasson, OF
lows, whose efforts to reconcile diff
ferences, and to secure tho largest
liberty Of sentiment consistent with
ddelity to republican principles.
wore most effective and untiring. l
think no former platform reflected
more faithfully tho average convtc-
lions OF = great national party"
Evening times-Republican. [volume] (Marshalltown, Iowa) 1890-1923, 1920-07-15

Now York newspaper writes that the
thing that delegates At San Fran
cisco talked about most was not the
League OF Nations. nor prohibition,
nor tho merits of the various candi-
dates. but the local cost Of living.
San Francisco prices were almost
unbelievable. The visitors were inn
pressed frst by the restaurant prices.
They could get q good breakfast.
they found. in a good place for 10 to
30 cents, and q good dinner for 81 to
$3.50. and the walters were contented
with moderate tips. They supposed
there was some special reason, for
that. But as they looked around,
they discovered that nearly every
thing seemed to pc on about the
same scale.
A leading figure at tho convention
sported n tailor made suit Of clothes
that would have cost him at least
800 back home. A San Francisco
tailor had made It for $85. The COR
RESPONDENT saw jewelry sold, In a
price no had paid for similar articles
on Fifth avenue last winter. and
saw shoes sold for ts.86 a pair that
he ltnew were 1880 in Boston before
he started west. A doctor with two
big. ll-appointed rooms In q lead
Ing hotel amused eastern patients by
complaining that he had had his pre-
war rent OF $126 q month raised to
$50. and had to pay $55 q month for
stx-room bungalow. with garden
and garage, two miles out from
town. In clean. well-built and we'll
DON ducted bachelor hotels, one could
get . room and bath for $50 . month.
even during tho convention.
Lower rents and lower prices for
meals and for some manufactured
articles might be accounted for by
local conditions--more land as COM
pared with population, more ac-
cessibls food supply. etc. but how
account for the fact. vouched for by

been 80 once. but apparently that
time has passed. The San Francisco
convention has been Illuminating to
thousands who never crossed tho
Rockies before. and the whole Pacific
slope continues to enlighten eastern
tourists. The advice. 'Ho west"
takes on new meaning. II the west
lives up to this newly gained repu-
tatlon OF offering cheaper living,
there will be q big exodus in that d.

Answers To Yesterdays Questions.
1.--What household phrases come
from the cow7
The COW has given US some good
words and hints. How could we get
along without tho parable Of the COW
that gave COOL pail OF milk and
then kicked It over7 One could
hardly keep house without it.. Or the
parable Of the cream and tho skim
med milk, or Of the buttered bread 2
We know. too, thru her aid, what the
horns of the dilemma mean. and
what comfort there IL in the juicy
cud OF reverie.
2.--where can the thrashsr be
seen7
The thrasher II stealthy. It always
seems to be going about on tiptoe. I
never knew it to steal anything. and
yet 1t skulks and hides like fugitive
from justice. One never sees 1t fly
Ing aloft in the afr and traversing
the world openly, like most birds, but
1t darts along fences and thru bushes
as II pursued by a guilty conscience.
Only when the musical fit Is upon 1t
does it come up into full view, and
invite the world to hear and behold.
3.-How does tho cat-tail seed IT
self
The winged seeds OF the cat-tau
flag set out IN fleets upon the air,
cruising for bitches and swamps;
they search all round the horizon.
and sooner or later q few OF them

say "find," when, in truth, they ind
nothing; they simply fall by chance
upon tho spots suitable for them.

Negro Labor.

There 10 no subject so interesting
to thinking men everywhere as the
great racial question. Some OF us
who live in Tidewater Virginia have
found out that. almost unknowingly.
We have come into national promin-
ence. because here tho two races
meet and work and live together on
terms, possibly. Of greater friendship
and mutual forbearance than In any
other section Of the country. The
task has been 40 simple that It seems
amazing It 10 not performed In the
Same way in almost every section OF
the country. It takes q little bit Of
patience, great deal Of good humor,
q considerable amount Of forbear-
ance, and the determination that
when Il man works he shall get his
due reward and that he shall work
without interference. Hundreds Of
inquiries have come to US every year

One OF the many things that maksS

American people upon luxury living

Not only has the automobile In

manufacturing industry outranling
the lumber industry In volume but
the making Of this and other access
sories has become enormous.
