TOO TRUE.

The newspapers and magazines for the past
several months have been calling attention to the
wave of extravaganza which has been going over
the country, and to the foolish expenditures Tor
Injuries which have been INDUCED in by large num-
hers of American workmen as result OF the IN
creased wage being paid They have also been
calling attention to the mpossbility OF continual
ton of this condition. when the cost of living was
going up and the rate of production was going
down In many instances the warnings have fallen
upon deaf ears, and many workmen have gone on
living in fools paradise, thinking that this would
always continue, and they have gone on spending
their money as fast as it was earned. It has been
difficult to bring home to the employees OF our fac
tories the lesson that the day Of reckoning must
come, especially in view Of the steady work. cry
for production, and environment Of unnecessary
spending. =, ~ tr5~ ~

One of the first acts Of the democratic national
convention at San Francisco was to send, motion
Of Governor Gardner, Of Missouri, and by the hand
of Mr. Cummings, chairman of the national demo-
cratic committee, a message of greeting and conf
dence 70 President Wilson. This telegraphic mes
sage expresses pride in Mr. Wilson as the true sue
cessor of Jackson and Jefferson, as the sponsor
of great legislative measures Of reform and pro-
gress as the leader Of the American nation in the
most momentous war of history and as having
played ian honorable part in the immortal victory
for liberty and democracy won by the free nations
of the world The resolution states that the demo-
cratic party reoices Sin the recovery Of your health
and strength after months Of suffering and afflction

So far the resolution is dgnifed and worthy of
the great occasion which called it forth. But then
comes the passage which gives expression to what
may fairly be called in the vernacular of the street.

BILE and disgraceful page in our history:
This Of course does not mean, as q visitor from
Mars might surmise, that the democratic party is
about to make war on the republican party. It is
simply a specimen Of typical American stump
speaking literature. We have re-read, in the light
of this passage, Senator Lodges keynote speech
and the republican platform, and while there is
some extravagant phraseology in both, we are
bound to admit that we find nothing that is
malignant or malicious in either. Perhaps some
day the American people will reach state OF civil
ization when they can conduct political campaign
on the basis of reason and when all personal ytu

CHECK NO GOOD AND OWENS
IS HELD FOR CIRCUIT COURT
Brother Unable To Raise Sufficient
Funds to Gain Release of Dora Ow-
ems Who Is Held In Jail.

Circuit Clerk James B. Key dis
played keen judgment in refusing to
release Dora Owens brought here
Monday from Higginsport, Ohio. under
indictment for obtaining money false
ly, until he found that a check offered
by Owens brother as bond, was good.
Mr.. Keys bank was notified by the
Higginsport bank late Monday that the
check for $500 would not be honored
as Owens brother did not have that
amount of money in bank. 1t now de-
velopes that the brother did not have
the funds to meet the check but ex-
pected to be able to raise the needed
amount to gain his brothers freedom
and the check was accepted with the
understanding that the amount would
be raised or Owens would be held in
Jail
The failure of the Higginsport bank
to advance the needed money means
that Owens will be compelled to re-
main in the Mason county Jail until
the September term of the Mason Cir
cult Court unless in the meantime a
gilt edge bond worth $500 can be fur
nished to Circuit Clerk James B. Key.

BRYAN MAY BACK
FORMER SPEAKER
IN DEADLOCK
COmmOner and Champ Clark Believed
To Have Patched Up Old Differ
ences - Drift To Clark
Predicted.

Washington, June 80. There are
strong indications here today that the
Champ Clark forces at San Francisco
have come to an understanding with
William Jennings Bryan.
The plan now determined upon, ac-
cording to reports reaching Washing
ton through reliable channels, is that
Bryan, reversing his action at Balti-
more in 1912, will throw the full
weight of his influence to Clark as
soon as the time appears to be ripe for
this move.
Eight years ago Bryan turned the
tide from Clark to Wilson after the
Missourian had gained q majority.
This time, it is said, his effort will be
to bring a "break" to Clark.
This plan, however, is predicated on
the theory that the expected Wilson
third term nomination coup will fail,
il actually attempted, and that the Nc
Adoo boomers are unable to roll up the
required two-thirds majority for the
Presidents son-in-law.
| If neither Wilson nor McAdoo STAN
redes the convention, it is believed
certain that a deadlock will develop
Those on the inside of the Clark Bryan
movement are confident that Palmer
and Cox will begin to drop back after
the first ballot, and that none of the
dozen or more aspirants will display
any dangerous strength.
Clark supporters here are extremely
reticent in discussing the Bryan story
Some of the former speakers friends
not directly connected with the move.
ment point to Bryan's refusal yester-
day to discuss candidates as signifi-
cant in view of his previous remarks
regarding Owen and Meredith. The
Commoner is expected to back Over
after he permits his alternate to carry
out the primary instruction to vote fol
Senator Hitchcock and then shift tC
Clark when it becomes apparent that
Owen can not "go over"
The drift to the former speaker, Il
is predicted by one enthusiastic Clarl
man here. will begin late Wednesday
or Thursday.
Senator Reed of Missouri, If he Is
permitted to use his proxy after being
denied seat on his own account IL
counted on as a strong supporter o
Clark when the move gets definitel!
under way, and Senator Walsh. o
Massachusetts, also is expected II
throw his influence to the forme
speaker.

boy GAINS FREEDOM
FROM JAIL ON WRIT
OF HABEAS CORPUS
Lad Fifteen years OF Age Was Too
Young For Trial in City COurtland
Gains Release From Jail.

Judge c. D. Newell, of the Mason
Circuit Court, released Willie Mace, is
years of age, from the Mason county
Jail this afternoon on a writ of habeas
corpus. the first issued in Mason coun-
ty in many years.
II will be remembered that young
Mace was arrested several weeks ago
on charge of stealing a bicycle and
tried in the City Police Court. He was
held to the September Grand Jury and
in default of bail was sent to Jail
where he has since been confined.
Attorney Frank p. ODonnell was
employed by the boys father and two
afiidavits were obtained showing that
the boy was but Is years of age and
was therefore being unlawfully con-
fined as the Police Court had no juris-
diction over a Juvenile. After the re-
lease of the boy by Judge Newell this
afternoon he was taken Immediately
before Juvenile Judge Purnell, who
set next Saturday morning as the time
for hearing of the case. Judge Pur-
nell allowed the boy to go on his own
recognizance.

Final Arrangements for Big Camp
meeting VIII Be Made at Ruggles
On Saturday.

The Board of Directors of Ruggles
Campmeeting Association will meet
next Saturday, July third at the camp
grounds This will be one of the most
important meetings of the board. Final
preparations will be made for the
campmeeting which will be held this
year from Thursday, July 29th to
Sunday. August Sth, inclusive. While
the principal privileges were let at
the spring meeting there remains yet
much to do in the way of arrangements
for the meetings.
Those who have cottages engaged
since last year and who do not expect
to attend this year should notify the
Board at this meeting. There are many
applicants for cottages just waiting
patiently for some one to give up their
cottage so they can have a chance. The
Board hopes by next year to have a
new building somewhat on the order
of the Kentucky Inn so that all who
desire to attend may secure rooms.
"Old Settlers Day" is always busy
one for the campmeeting board And
as this will no doubt be the biggest
meeting the old settlers have ever hat
1t is only natural that the Campmeet'
ing Board will have plenty to do.
