SEVENTH CONVENTION.

toric. Not only did Il result IN m,
party's nomination OF It's first dark
horse" but also II marked the be.
ginning and the end OF third.lorm
presidential aspirations.
Once more James G.. Blaine wa.
the paramount leader OF his party
and once more Roscoe CCnklng. In
his embi,iered personal antaeonism
undertook to foil his hated party
rival. He used General Grant as the
means to this end--ably seconded b,
Cameron and Logan and other
dcaihlcss Grant adhercnts.
Grant had just returned from q
triumphal tour around the world
and stood upon a pinnacle. The tact
that an carly Pennsylvania state con
Nention declared against third terms
and that the House Of Representa-.
tiyes made similar proclamation by
a vote Of 234 to is. did not stop the
Grant campaign.

THE REPUBLICAN SITUATION.


The hate OF the good old stand
patters Of the Republican party for
Theodore Roosevelt and the progrcs-
siye policies which he advocated was
greater than their love for the party.
Roosevelt was the only candidate
with which the &C. o. r." had a
chance at the polls. The Republican
national convention refused to nom
mate him. so he split the party and
drew oat OF It's ranks the progressive
element,
Very niftily have the Republicans
sought during the last few lean
political years. 20 heal the old wound

elections next fall.
Let them remember that the
Democratic party. during the sast
seven years. has made an imperish-
able record. It's achievements out
mime those OF any party In all the
history Of the nation.
Let them remember that we have

war. and that all Of the efforts OF
President Wilson and Of the Demo-

introduction of the United States de-
partment Of agriculture has assembled,
through the work of its explorers and
through exchange with the British
East Indian departments Of agricul-
ture, n of the largest collections of
selected mango varieties in the world.
There are now fruiting at the plant
Introduction field station, Miami, Fla,
about twenty varieties this year, and
these represent the selections from
more than seventy sorts Of this great
fruit. Some of these have scarcely
more fiber in them than a freestone
peach and can be cut open lengthwise
and eaten as easily with a spoon as a
Rocky Ford cantaloupe. They have
an indescribably agreeable aroma rem
iniscent Of pineapples. The mango
tree, when it is in bearing, Is a gor-
geous sight, for 1t Is a long-lived tree

Of 1918. This equipment was later
purchased and improved by the de-

Several valuable by-products are OBJ

Carbon residue suitable for manufac-
turing lampblack OF exceptionally fine

tains certain amounts of potash, phos-

which give It fertllizing value.
The tar and a~mmOniacal liquids re-

their value as dislnfectants and pre-

WRONG TO CARRY A "ROLL"
Too Much Money Is Kept Out Of Cir.
cuiation Because of Currency
in the Pockets.

That extra wad of bills the average
man carries in his hip pocket Is a
detriment to the national credit and n
direct instigator of crime, according to
]. ii. Tregoe, acknowledgements of the
National Association of Credit Men
and formerly a leader in the CONNER
cinl life of Baltimore.
This opinion is agreed to by Secre-
tary Morningstar, of the Credit Mems
Association of Baltimore.
Scores of millions of dollars, If not
hundreds of millions, are estimated as
being carried needlessly in the pockets
of American citizens, and while In the
pocket the money is as definitely with
drawn from circulation as If 1t we're
In the old sock or under the loose
brick in the hearth where the motion
picture misers always keep their
boarded gold.
Mr.. Tregoe recommends a specific
remedy-checks. If the people put
their cash in the bank and then paid
tkeir bills by checks, Mr.. Tregoe ar

lars put beyond the reach of the
knights of the diving hand" and other
seekers after loose cash.

Morningstar.

with him. Just recall a few of the
