Judge Gray's Estimate.

George Grav's appraisal of the national
ticket nominated at San Francisco on
Tuesday and of the platform adopted by
the party leaves no doubt IN the MINDS
of his fellow-citizens here that the con-
vention did its work thoroughly well.
Mr.. GRAY. as we all have known, is spar
;nqIv of his commendationi he is not IN
the habit of overestimating the achieve
nents of his party and never hesitates to
criticise the action OF the stand OF Demo-
gratis on any measure affecting the pup
lie welfare.
\ Possibly Mr.. Gray preferred Ambas-
sador Davis for first place on the Demo
cratic ticket. He had expressed himself
warmly regarding MIR. Davis fitness ana
general availability for the Presidency,
but he likewise declares MIR. Cox is a
proven executive of large experience who
has never failed to fill to the fullest
measure of public satisfaction whatever OF
fee he has been chosen TO administer.
The platform also meets the iuli ap-
proval of our esteemed neighbor, and he
secs in the work of the convention De-
ginning of a canvass that foretells the
overcoming of Republican pretenslons as
saviors of the country and the reputation
of the partv that has blocked the peace
of the world and stayed America par
ticipation in the League OF Nations TO
prevent future wars.
Mr.. Gray's views are deserving OF the
emnbasis Of repetition in loaded type, and

Of the deliberations of the National Demo

vinces me that the nominations were wise
ones.

their ability and high character in the
fierce light that beats upon public Office

A Child in the Storm.

We often Law the soothing JUNCTION to
our souls that we are community that
hos heart as well as brain. An incident
of the smashing storm that badly demor-
al;zed a citv's funetioning the other night
would tend to put a question mark to our
complacencv.
little bov in rompers In one OF the
,ntown streets was caught in the storm.
The f,,rv Of the elements was the most
terrifying thing he ever had encountered
IN his Young life of three or four summers
He lost all sense of direction. even the
mower of locomotion, to save himself
from the violence Of earth and sky. Like
Cosette in Victor Hugo's Les Mlseraoles
he stood helpless, an atom amid IN
fnity."
The little boy shrieked with fright as
the thunder crashed about him and the
rain beat upon him in torrents. With the
instincts of childhood he appealed to the
community of his elders to save HIM from
what he surnised was imminent destruc-
ton. 1t was evident that unless the COM
munity came to his rescue his tender ner-
vous system would give way under the
pressure and he would have paroxysm.
But did the community come to ms
rescue: One man passed him by. glanced
at him and went his way. Then another
came by and failed even to turn around
although the child's cries rose above the
ttlnult of the storm. Then a woman
hurried along and passed him by. Still
another man and another woman also
went by while. the child continued to cal
upon the community of his elders to save
him.
Finally a colored man. evidently
laborer-without an umbrella and drench'
ed to the skin-stopped, went over, bent t'
the little fellow, took HIM UP in his arms
and trudged off homeward with him
uttering comforting words to calm hi
terrors of the infinite and, to his pun.
strength, irresistible.

A MODEL HOST.

Whatever disappointments may be
caused by the Democratic convention,
none of them will attach TO San Francisco
itself. No other city has ever ho.'seu ol
entertained a national convention so
comfortably and so generously. As host
San Francisco is unapproachod IN courtesy
and consideration for guests. It's old
fashioned hospitality and thoughtiuiness,
its graceful attentions TO its visitors, and
its atmosphere of good viii and ksillness
set a new fashion in convention history,
and was revelation to those accustomed
to the mercenary and purely business
attitudes of other towns on such occasions
II is a long, long trail to San Francesca
but San Francisco made il worth whlie.
II IS not the largest city in the country in
noint of numbers, but it has captured
more hearts and made more friends than
anv other, and most if not all OF the deie-
gates will agree that it Is one Of the oig-
gest IN spirit and one of the mo charming
in manners and in aspect ct-Baltimore sun

Suffrage in Tennessee.

The latest advices from Tennessee
seem to upset in a measure the con-
sdence that suffragists have expressed as
TO the early victory of their cause. Miss
Alice Paul, who gave vent to her Joyous
feelings that Tennessee Legislature would
mt the amendment across, already saw
visions of women walking up to the polls
in all the States In November and casting
their ballots. 1t, however, has since been
learned that since the Tennessee Leglsla-
ture expressed itself in canvass OF the
members there has been great deal of
effective anti-work and the possibilities
are that there may be a very hard fight
after all to prevent the ratification OF
the amendment at Nashville.
In view of the disquieting reports re-
ceived from that State Miss Paul is
again calling for money, as she did In
Delaware, to convert the backward men,
bers of the Legislature and make the
State safe for suffrage
Some of our contemporaries have adj
vised Miss Paul TO not put her money
nor her faith in Tennessee, but to turn
to Vermont for even after ratification in
Tennessee the amendment, despite favor
ing interpretations by friends Of suffrage,
will encounter legal opposition that may
vex them much and delay the victory un-
til after November at least.
Despite the petitions of party leaders
the legislators in many Of the States will
still refuse to assent TO suffrage coming tc
women except through referendum-tht
direct mandate from the voters.
While suffrage seemed 50 near and sur'
week ago it appears to be still uncertain
but if IT is attained through Vermont tn,
women may still thank the President 0
the United States for his action in Ten
nessee, which has made possible the hop
Of ratification in Vermont.

Just Folks
BY Edgar A. Guest
THE SINGLE STANDARD.

There are thousand ways To cheat and
thousand ways to sun
There are ways uncountcd to lose the
game, but there's only one way TO
win,
And whether you live by the sweat OF
your brow or in luulry's garb you re
dressed,
You shall stand at last, when your race
is run to be judged by the single
test.
Some men lie by the things they make
some lie in deed they do
And some play false for wonans love
and some for cheer or two.
Some rise to fame by the force OF skill,
grow great by the might OF power,
Then wreck the temple they tollcdto
build, in single, shameful hour.
The follies outnumber the virtues good,
sin lures in a thousand ways,
But slow is the growth of mans char
acter and patience must mark ms
days;
For only those victories shall count,
when the work of life is done,
Which bear the stamp of an honest man,
and by courage and faith were won.
There are a thousand ways to fail, but
only one way to win'
Sham cannot cover the wrong you dc
nor wash out single sin.
And never shall victory come to you
whatever Of skill you do,
Save you've done your best IN the worn
of life and unto your best were true
