Ohio Man Nominated BY Democrats
For President.

made to nominate by reclamation
there were half a dozen delegations
clamoring for the recognition Of Sena-
tor Robinson, the chairman, in order
to. register changes in their votes,
which, If they had been recorded,
would have given him a substantial
majority over the required two-thirds.
The end of the long fight, which had
fits beginning Friday night, found the
delegates weary and heavy-eyed from
lack Of sleep. For nearly II hours
they had sat in the auditorium, keyed
up to a high pitch Of excitement, which
had found outlet a score of times In
mad, nerye-wrecking demonstrations.
Twenty-Five ballots were taken dur
ting the day and 1t vas not until mid
night that any Of them gave promise of
developing a nominee.
Palmer Quits Race.
On the forty-third ballot, after Pal
mer had announced his withdrawal
from the race and released his dele
gates, 1t became apparent that Gov
ernor Cox would be the nominee. 1t
became then only a question of time.
Two motions were made from the floor
by McAdoo supporters to adjourn the
convention until noon today, but each
of them was howled down by Cox adj
herents. Governor Cox polled 56S votes
on the 43rd ballot. 1t was the first
time that any Of the candidates had
received a majority vote.
Between the 43rd and 44th ballots
the Cox people staged a memorable
demonstration, a riotous procession,
participated in by YEARLY delirious
partisans.
The last ballot began by giving the
Ohio governor majorities from the
start. AS state after state fell into
line for Cox it became certain that
nothing short Of a miracle could stop
his nomination either on that ballot or
the next When Pennsylvania was
reached, 68 votes were thrown to the
Ohio governor and these, with the
smaller delegations following, put him
over the 700 mark.
A hundred pencils had been busy on
the floor. Every one knew that 1t was
close to a nomination. Half a dozen
chairmen Of delegations which had
voted for McAdoo were quick to see
the defeat Of their man, and jumped
to their feet clamoring for recognition.
They wanted to register changes In
their votes.
Amldon Makes Motion.
They were a bit too slow. Unob-
served by many, Samuel B. Amidon,
national committeeman from Kansas,
and one Of the McAdoo managers, had
come quietly to the edge Of the speak
ers' platform. He tugged at Senator
Robinson's elbow.
"The gentleman from Kansas" bel
flowed Robinson above the din.
The hall was in an uproar. Some Of
the delegates were singing. Others
were standing on their chairs. Yells
were rending the air, mingling with the
crashing music Of two bands and the
great pipe organ.
Pandemonium broke loose when
Amidon moved that the nomination be
made by acclarnation. In q few minutes
parades were started around the hall,
and into its hilarious procession went
nearly every one. When order was re-
stored, Chairman Robinson put the
motion to the delegates. There was 9
roar of ayes to his question. and II
there were any noes. they were lost
On the booming chorus.

REPEATED HIS GREAT WORK
When Thomas Carlyle Proved Invui-
nerabIe to the "Slings and Arrows
Of Outrageous Fortune."

In 1885 there occurred an incident
which would have deranged an ordi-
nary man. Thomas Carlyle was living
at 8 Cheyne row, Chelsea, near Lon
don. He had not earned penny, says
he to himself, "by the craft of litera-
ture for 23 months" But with the
push of tiger he was plowing his
way through his History of the
French Revolution" The first volume
was finished. 1t had taken him five
months to write it. He loaned the Mss.
to John Stuart Mill. On certain
morning Mill called upon Carlyle, his
face as white as ashes. After two
hours Of awkward fumbling Mill man
aged to tell it-he had left the price
less Mss. on desk and the hOusemaid
had taken it to light the morning. fire
in the CRATE! Carlyle was like a
stricken man. But one day, as he sat
dumbly at his window, he saw. CHEEKY
bricklayers building house, brick by
brick. He burst into tears and, Sob
bing like child, he cried: 81, too, can
bring back thought by thought" He
did. He recalled all of the Mss. and
cewrote it. What torture!

wisp of hay in front of his jack,
but just beyond his reach. All
day long with untiring energy the
jack pursued the elusive wisp, but
no matter how hard he struggled
or how far he travelled, the hay
remained just beyond his reach.
and strange as it may seem, the
jack never realized the fraud but
continued day after day his vain
struggle to get that wisp of hay.
Our politicians are using the
same methods to fool the people
that the prospector used to fool
his jack. Before every election

ONLY RELICS OF LOST RACE
Network Of Canals All That Remains
Of Early Dwellers In the
Arizona Deserts.

BY far the most interesting remains
of the lost people of Arizona are their
network of canals which prevail
through the valleys. The longest is
the one tapping the Gila river and
which supplied with water the ancient
city, now marked with the one stand
ing building. This is the Casa Grande.
about which so much has been written
and which has so excited much inter
est among archeologists in the last ten
years.
The volume of water taken out by
this canal must have been immense,
for 1t supported millions Of acres. In
most places the canal has been filled
with drifting sand, but its course is
easily traced. Engineers who located
the Mnricopa canal made use of the
old Aztec ditch and today water runs
over its pebbly bottom just as 1t did
1000 or 5000 years ago.
For miles and miles around mounds
tell the tale of houses destroyed by
the ravages Of time. Phoenix was
built on the ruins of this ancient city
and there relics frequently are found
of this ancient civilization.

POLITICAL PROMISES

There is one noticeable feature
in the principles of those who
have thus far announced their
candidacy for office, and that is
the striking similarity of all their
declarations; all of them favor
equal rights to all and are oppos-
ed to special privilege; all of them
favor strict enforce ement of the
laws against profiteers, and also
favor strict regulation of public
utilities; none of them mention
the fact that special privilege has
existed in our country for many
years and that it is daily increas"
ing; none of them explain why the
laws against profiteers have not
been enforced in the past.
All private monopoly rests upon
special privilege; if they favor the
strict regulation of private mon
opoly, they are not opposed to
special privilege but are in favor
of it. All of them favor a plat
form of generalities without any
specific remedies. We agree with
all of them that special privilege
is wrong but we think it should
be abolished-not regulated. We
agree with them that the law
should be enforced against prof
iteers, but why wait until after
election; why are these laws not
enforced now?; if any new laws
are needed why not pass them
now, and prove to us the honesty
of their position? These evils
have existed for some time, why
is it necessary to postpone action
until after the votes are counted
next November?
1t is the same old camouhage
that has been used in every cleo
tion for a quarter of a century to
delude the American people. 1t
is the same device that the pros
pector used when he invented an
arrangement and attached it to

OWNERSHIP OF WEALTH

Glen E. Plumb, author of the
Plumb railroad plan, states that
2 per cent of the people own 60
per cent, that 33 per cent own 35
per cent, and that 65 per cent of
the people own only 5 per cent of
the wealth of the country. Mr..
Plumb gave these figures in an
address favoring the payment of
the recent war debt by laying a
direct tax upon the property of
the country, instead of the pres
ent method of indirect taxation.
1t is not the purpose of this ar
ticle to discuss that idea, but the
figures given have deep signifi-
canoe in relation to other prob
lens that must be solved.
The figures show upon their
face that the wealth of the nation
is very unevenly divided. In or
der to determine whether that div
ision is just or unjust, it will be
necessary to examine the title
and the right upon which they
base their claim of ownership or
possession. For instance: a per-
son who claims property which
was stolen or acquired by fraud.
has no title which is recognized
in either law or equity. How and
by whom property is produced or
acquired is also proper ques-
tion to consider. 1t is a self-evi-
dent truth, and a trite saying.
that all wealth is produced by
labor. 1t is not necessary to state
that the two per cent of the peo-
pie who own 60 per cent of the
wealth, do not belong to the labor
ing class. Neither is it necessary
to state that 65 per cent of the
people who own 5 per cent of the
wealth all belong to the laboring
class. 1t follows then, that the 65
per cent who own per cent of the
wealth produce practically all of
it, and the 2 per cent who own &C
per cent of the wealth produce
none of it.
Will anyone contend that the 65
per cent who produce all of the
wealth and own only 5 per cent
of it have received just share of
the property and have no cause to
complain? If the 65 per cent who
produce all of the wealth are not
entitled to a greater proportion
than 5 per cent of the wealth, up
on what theory of law or equity
do the 2 per cent who own 60 per
cent of the wealth base their title
of ownership or possession? in

A CURE FOR UNREST

Let US get busy for each others
sake,
AS we did in time of war;
And see if we can the same rec
ord make,
That gave credit to us from afar.
To tighten the burden that rests
on all,
Let us each make spoke in the
wheel;
Not lie in bed for a second call,
1t will bring us more for a meal.
Cries of unrest all over our land,
Could soon be quenched or stilled /;
By working together hand in hand.
And no time lost or killed.
Our country's stripped of every
thing,
Production is what we need;
All hands at work is sure to bring
The things that will succeed.
Instead of proclaiming what 9TH
erS SnOuld 90,
Get in and get busy yourself;
There's plenty of work for me and
for you,
Even though you have bread on
your shelf.
In hive of bees the drones must
be fed
By the common working class;
Let us hope the drones in our fam
ily's all dead,
1t would help this crisis pass.
Let us feel we are working for old
Uncle Sam,
For our own and country's sake;
We will all be working for a good
old man,
And must no advantage take.
Let us all unite in an Uncle Sans
band,
And each one play his part;
We will soon have music all over
the land,
Music inspired by the heart.
To work, to strive, to live and let
live,
Keep this aglow in each breast;
Deprive ourselves that we may
give
A helpful hand to unrest.

CHANGES IN GOVERNMENT

Those who combat all changes
in our system or form of govern
ment, and condemn those who ad-
vocate changes as unpatriotic and
disloyal, are either lamentably ig-
norant of the history of our coun-
try or have lost sight of the fact.
that from the beginning of the
government up to the present
hour, changes have constantly
been made whenever conditions
have demanded that they should
be made. In the beginning, chat
tel slavery existed thruout the
country. Early in its history, an
enlightened public conscience in
the north" forced the abolish
ment of this system, but it re-
mained for the immortal Lincoln
to entirely wipe out this foul blot
upon our civilization.
We have changed our method
of electing the president. We
have changed our method of ell
Getting United States senator's. To
some extent we have changed our
method of national taxation, by
placing tax upon individual in
comes. We have taken away from
the states the power to regulate
the liquor traffic by adopting the
national prohibition amendment.
and we are about to take away
from the states the power to reg
ulate the right of suffrage by
adopting the Susan B. Anthony
amendment. Many other changes
could be mentioned, and as we
advance and new conditions arise.
many others may be expected. 1t
is proper to combat any proposed
change on the ground that it
would be detrimental to the best
interests of the people, but the
person who opposes changes simp-
ly because they are changes, and
without giving any valid reason
for his opposition, is living in the
dark ages of benighted past and
is controlled and surrounded by
the mental atmosphere of the
cave dweller. From the dawn of
the creation man has ever been
struggling upwards toward the
light. Each century he discards
some of the errors of the past and
plants his feet upon firmer
ground. Many ages yet, will
come and go before he reaches the
extreme limit of his power for
progress. Every step forward
which he makes, will require
some change to be made before
the next step can be taken. There
can be no improvement without
some change is made. All growth.
either spiritual, mental or physi-
cal is the result of change. Until
man has reached the zenith of his
powers and progress is no longer
possible, it will be necessary for
him to make changes to aid him
il. his advancement.

the face of the fact that they have

1t is plain to all right minded
people that the laws which allow
the few thru special privilege to
acquire the property which others
produce, are unjust and should be
changed. The cause of unrest is
that labor now understands the
injustice of these laws. Give to
labor fair and just proportion
