derived from the depredations of cer- tain persons in western New York, not unlike the Kentucky night-riders of more recent fame. The Hunkers were the conservatives, who believed in standing by the party, whatever be- tided. "Hunker' is New York Dutch English for ''hanker'' which is akin to hunger" and the name was applied to those of the Democrats whose de- sire for the possession of office was more remarkable than their hunger and thirst for righteousness"
 A Bitter Convention
 Barn burners and Hunkers came down to Baltimore. each swearing death against the other. Behind the Barn. burners was the awful shadow of Mar of the greatest Democratic political machine the party had possessed. The party had defeated him for re-nomina- tion four years previously by the inn position of the two-thirds rule, and by permitting delegates to disregard in- structions. His friend, Silas Wright had declined the vice presidential nom- ination in 1S44, but had saved the day by running for governor of New York and lining up the Van Buren strength for the Polk ticket. Two years later in 1S46, Wright had been defeated fol reelection as governor. and the blame was laid on the Hunkers. Van Burer and his friends wanted revenge.
 | The Baltimore convention was un. able to decide between these bitte factions, and therefore voted to sea both delegations. giving a half-vote t each. Both sides declined to accep the compromise and refused to vote il the convention. When Lewis Cass haC been nominated for president and VII liam O. Butler for vice president young Dan Sickles jumped to his fee to promise the vote of New York fo the nominees, making an impassioneC speech which brought the attention O the whole country to him.

Soil movement was under way Mar tin Van Buren became it's candidate for president and Charles Francis Adams was nominated for vice president. The Abolition party was swallowed up in it. It was the first considerable movement toward the wrecking Of tee old non sectional parties and hassE1ccg tks in evitable Civil War. And wEsn -sss votes were counted, General Tay3e- was elected and Martin Van Buren had his revenge
 General Taylor was nominated at the Whig national convention in Phil adelphia. Governor Morehead of North Carolina was president of the conven- tion and it became his duty to inform the candidates that they had been nominated- It was before the day of coQPuIsory prepayment of postage and Governor Morehead sent the let Louisiana, postage collect.
 "Old Rough and Ready" had been getting too many letters from cranks all over the country for each of which he was compelled to pay from 10 to 40 cents postage. Therefore he had or dered the postmaster to return all let ters addressed to him and not prepaid, to the dead letter office. Governor Morehead's letter shared this fate. nus IL udpDGIl6u lIdL ArefCAdi IdylOi did not know he had been nominated until the committee sent to formally notify him of his selection had reached his Louisiana home. He was very sur priSed to hear the news from the com mittee and the committee was sur prised to learn he didn't know it before. It is the only instance on record that a formal notification to a candidate for president was genuine news. The famous proviso was written by Representative Brinkerhoff, an Ohio Democrat The bill to appropriate money to close negotiations with Mex leo concerning the war and to acquire | territory was before the house. A half-doz anti-sIavery Democrats had copies of the proviso. and the first one | to get the speakers official eye was to offer it. Fate gave the opportunity to David Wilmot of Pennsylvania. He of fered the amendment providing that slavery should not be permitted in any states or territories to be erected out of territory to be acquired from Mex favorable to the proviso. but he soon found that it was better politics to trim, and he did so.
 Upon the Wilmot Proviso the Dem ocrats split wide open and gave the Whigs their last chance to elect a president. If the northern Whigs had had the courage of their convictions that year they would have taken the northern views of the slavery question and could have elected an anti-slavery president long before Lincoln was elected, and their party would have lived. But in those days the Whig
 party was a northern party led by
 southern men, and the Democratic
 party was a southern party led by
 northern men. There was still hope
 for compromise and permanent peace
 between the sections. Men could not

 Bayless Pure Milk bread is made by a special process which Mir. Bayless says that he actually believes is the best recipe used in the manufacture of light bread. Hard wheat blended flour, sifSed to the most feathery light ness and with every tiny speck Of for eign matter removed, goes into these fluffy white loaves. And pure un- adulterated milk is another ingredient. Just imagine how many gallons of milk it must require to turn out 4.000 loaves of bread in one day, for that is the number that is baked in the Bayless bakery every Saturday. And every day during the week only a few hun dred less loaves per day come out of the three mammoth big ovens.
 The loaves weigh 20 ounces, for MT. Bayless said that he believes that a loaf of this size will keep longer and in better condition than will a small

DOES TRUTH cHANeE7
By pr. James |. Vance

What is truth? That is the question which Pilate flung at Christ
 He asked the question with sheer. He was not after information.
 Christ answered Pilate and all who might ask Pilates question by saying: T the truth"
 Christ is "the yesterday today. and for ever" He changeless and eternal truth There is therefore, a in which truth does not change
 Truth in its essence is unchanging But truth is more than essence. It is also relations.
 Before you predicate. the truth about any thing you must answer three questions. First what Is 1t in itself? Next what is it in it's relation to other truths? And lastly. what is it in relation to those who perceive 1t?
 The first is static but the second and third are constantly changing The truth to ones duty un der a monarchy Is not the same the truth as to ones duty under a democracy. The truth as to the condition of those who have not accepted Christ be- cause they have heard of Him is one thing. and of those who have heard and have not accepted another Truth is perceived by finite intelligence which means that 1t is apprehended in sections, in phases. in aspects. We only part of it. As ex- perience grows and vision enarges, our conception of truth changes. just ores view of landscape changes as he climbs higher and more widely
 The should have clearer conception of God today than it had four thousand years ago. be- cause the race has climbed four thousands years higher experience Him. It is childish to just as foolish say the truth about God has not changed.
 T have not changed my views iota for forty years" said of our professors in the seminary day class That is what some people call orthodoxy. It is dry rot orthodoxy
 Why stop at forty years? Why not stay where you when you baby?
 Truth declines to be held in the grip of a dead hand. It is the most emailcpating thing in the world. It moves because 1t lives. Anything that stops moving quits living. Truth only but it is the powerhouse of progress. "Ye shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free"

The Jspans.s Problem

Formal request has been made upon the United states government by Ambassador shidehara of Japan for understanding which will clearly define the rights of Japanese in this try and especially with regard to their holding of land and other property here. It is the same old question that has been botherng this country for many years and since the Japanese started coming to America in numbers. It has been the of California causing the United States considerable embarrassment through the constantly growing senti nent In that state against the Japanese. This sent ment has become crystazed that i certain drastic law win be passed in California excluding the Japanese from holding land within confines. Tho government of Japan looking to the United states to take the matter in hand and inform Cali fornia that such excluding the Japanese from land ownership In that state be passed.
 The question is vital to the Golden State and undoubtedly is not fully appreciated by a large part Of the country many hundreds and thousands of miles and not brought into contact with the attendant problems. At present 16 per cent of the farming and orchard land California is in control of Japanese 1t Is said. This acreage is constantly increasing and the orientals are also encroaching upon Utah and Idaho With their increase in wealth and numbers tho feeling against them grows stronger
 The California people do not object to the Jap ancso they say an inferior" people for they ad- mt they are educated, gentemanly and that they farm with an excellence worthy of emulation. It is because of their entire different mode of life Wherever the Japanese coonize. the whites go else where. The Japanese women rarely learn to speak English. They do mix. therefore by the very presence of the they depreciate the the land and they purchase 1t. The Caiifornians have decided that the only way to solve the problem is Co exclude the Japanese just they do the Chinese
 That the government leaders of Japan are taking kindly this growing sentiment is shown ln numerous statements like this one in the Sep tember Worlds Work by viscount Kaneko. member of tho privy council of the Japanese empire who luoted as saying:
 "The action of people in California threatens states a critical point Japan patiently Japanese in that state. but the limit of endurance has been nearly reached"
 California people insist that the land law now before the voters of that not violate any treaty between the United States and Japan They alien to own land Japan. therefore why should they object to the the of others? canfornians declare themselves ready to deal with perfect fairness with the Japanese who own real estate in that state, but they promise that law win be passed.
 On this Japanese question. the people of Cali sornla should have doubt to where the presi- dental candidates stand. Senator Harding has said he favors Japanese exclusion because racial dif- fercnces which prevent their assimilation. Governor Cox favors placing the whole matter in the hands of League of Nations for settlement. It should be an easy task for the Pacific to decide between Harding and Cox.

"Go out and find out how something is done" said the gentleman at the desk who yields the editorial shears, as l came into the office yesterday morn ing.
 Do what!!" I gasped. Just what do you mean?'
 Exactly what I say, Miss White. Go out on the street and don't return, until you have found out how something is done." And the 12-inch shears snapped in a most determinedN manner.
 Well, what do you think of that?" asked myself 'Woldn't that get you? And yet, why not. There surely must be a lot of things going on in Phoenix right this minute. And I have all day to find out about them.

HARDING AGAINST HYPHENIsM

Speaking to a delegation of 1900 Americans of thirty different racia strains last Saturday, Senator Harding voiced views upon both foreign and domestic racial relationships which should win him the support of every true and thoughtful American.
 We are unalterably against any present fu- ture hyphenated Americanism," he said. "MsA- ding abroad tends to make Americans forget that they Americans. Meddling is not only danger because leads into the cntanglemcnts against which Washington warned us, but it also threatens America divided in her own household and tends to drive into groups. seeking to make themselves felt in political life, women whose hearts led away from America first t 'hyphen' first"
 That is doctrine which every American can subscribe Senator Harding be thanked for putting it clearly and eoncisely as a policy under which his administration will govern our national destinies. The greatest darger divided loyalty is the grouping of incoming in such a way that they will preserve their old world prejudices to the disadvantage Of world institutions National unity be developed and maintained with such division of racial groups.
 Hyphenism is a menace to America. As a nation lack homogeneity. can overcome this handi- cap only by breaking down racial prejudices among those who make their homes in America. Sym pathy with the problems and aspirations foreign lands pride of ancestry may not and need not be destroyed if future present citizens will limit their expression of such sympathy and pride to the point where it comes into contact with American national interests.
 Americans who fail to put our national interests first good Americans. They cannot serve two masters. That is the point made clear by Sena Harding. That the best type of Americans under stand it is indicated by the banners carried by the visiting delegation One said: Thirty races, but only one country and flag. Another said: We for Harding because he is for America"
 Acting such principles. the men of these thirty races have gained success in America. would be difficult find stronger arguments against hyphen- ism than those presented by these and voiced bv Senator Harding.-Chicago Tribune.

WASHINGTON. D. C.. oct. 5.-Once more the Whigs put their faith in war hero, and for the second and last time they were victorious Zachary Taylor was nominated because he was the popular hero of the war with Mex ico. It mattered not that he had never cast a vote in his life and had never taken any interest in politics. It mat tered not that the war in which he won glory and renown was condemned by the Whigs as a crime against ciViliza- tion. It mattered not that he was a southern shareholder when northern Whigs were beginning to battle every day against the extension of slavery It mattered not that Henry Clary, the leader of the Whigs again wanted the nomination from his party Nothing mattered except that the Wings wanted to win. that they had won in 1S4o with war hero and an alllteratlNe slogan. and that they could do it again. Thus to General Harrison and Tip pecanoe and Tyler. too" was added General Taylor and "Old Rough and Ready" These were the only men the Whig party ever put in the White House, and it is remarkable that they are the only two presidents who have died in office of natural causes.
 But even the hearty attractiveness of General Taylor, the freshness of his war-won laurels, the magic of the memory of Buena Vista, none of these things would have availed to defeat the Democrats had it not been for the factional party fight fin New York state. which ultimately resulted in the formation of the Free Soil Democratic party and the candidacy of Martin Van Buren for prc sidert. Wan Buren did not carry a single state. but he got a sufficient number Of votes to take more than one state away from the Democratic candidate and give its electoral vote to General Taylor.
 The Democratic national convention met that year in Baltimore on May 22. The nomination for president was a race between Lewis Cass of Michigan and James Buchanan of Pennsylvania. Cass was nominated on the fourth ballot without difficulty But the great fight in the convention was not over the nominations. it was upon the status of the two contesting delegations from New York
