TWO FAST GAMES
At ''Y TONIGHT.
High School and Normal
Teams Meet Fast OPP
ponents.

Old Squire Ebbets, who helps guide
the uncertain destinies of the Brook
Ign National league baseball team,
would like to be in Fairmont this
evening and for good reason. There
is a doubleheader basketball program
at the "Y" and anything in the dou-
bleheader line from baseball to bull
fights Just naturally gets the Squire
excited. However, it is hardly likely
that he will be able to make the riff
fle, but all the local floor fans will
be on the job.
The games on deck at the "Y" this
evening are the Parkersburg Fair
mont Nigh game and the D. G E.
Fairmont Normal contest. The first
engagement will be under way at =
O'Clock and the second at s:15.
Owing to the fact that the new Nor
NAL floor is not yet ready for use, tho
D. & E. game had to be played at the
"Y," and this made the double bill
possible.
Parkersburg has one of the bes
school teams in the state and Coach
Kahn's boys will have to extend
themselves to the limit to come out Of
the battle on the long end OF the
score.
The Normal team is hopeful of
making the D. & E. boys bit the dust
in the second battle of the evening,
although it is sure to be tough going
all the way.
Sandy Toothman will likely pre-
sent the following lineup for the Nor
NAL in tonight's game: Tough and
Hamilton, forwards; Boehm, center;
Jimmie Knight and Pete Hamilton,
guards. WEIGH, Duncan, Giffin, Rich
ardson and Smith will be in reserve.
1t is expected that one of the larg-
est crowds of the season will be on
hand.

Many "Frat" Games
For College Lads

MoRGANToWN, Jan. 9.-In addi-
ton to the Varsity teams and its ma
jor activities, there is most unusual
interest in basketball as a sport at
West Virginia this year.
The inter fraternity league which
plays annually for the cup offered by
the athletic department, is already
organized with ten teams therein and
practices have started. The sched-
ule Of games will begin soon after the
opening of the second semester and
twenty-three contests will be neces-
sary to decide the winner. Instead OF
playing a tournament as in former
years the frats have been divided into
two groups and each team in each OF
these groups is to play every other

German Pilot Boat Wins
Business From British

LONDON, June IS In spite Of the
publicity given to her in press and
Parliament the obnoxious German pilot
cutter continues TO patrol off Dunge-
ness, and there seems to be no wav of
getting rid of her, says "Thc Evening
News.".
:. "The pilotage fees quoted are high
IN marks, but very low in real money"
the paper adds. The result is that
practically all the neutral and Ameri-
can ships bound for the Continent take
pilot from her instead of from the
British Trinity cutter which patrols
alongside her. Many of the American
skippers who were at sea during the
German submarine campaign are very
outspoken on the subject, but they
have their direct orders.
But in blaming others for having
short memories it is as we'll to mention
that certain British companies are also
ordering their masters to patronize her
on the score of economy, with the re
suit that practically the whole of the
temporary Trinity pilots are receiving
their notices. They were allowed to
run the risks during the war, but now
if is only a proportion Of the British
companies the large majority, hap
pily-who care whether they are thrown
out or not

SAN FRANCISCO, July 3.-The
lions made n great mistake when they
tried to bite Mr.. Bryan. In den Of
hostile delegates he was making an in
different showing until some Of his
foes undertook to howl him down.
Up to that time he had been far from
an inspiring figure. Obviously he was
tired He was throaty. He was more
dishcvelcd than usual. Indeed, he might
have posed in his costume as the model
for Ed Wynn's joke, "as white as your
shirt--whiter" He had been up all
night, and nobody had raked the res
in the morning. There was neither
light nor warmth in his delivery It
was strictly little old last years
Chautauqua Grafton, bland, sweet and
dull.
Then somebody made the error Of
shouting, 81 voted for you once, but
Pm sorry now." The old war horse
shook his black alpaca coat.
"1f you voted for me once and are
leaving me now because | stand for the
home against the saloon" he cried,
then I want to tell you that can get
two in your place." His first true ap-
plause came to him then. Like all pro-
hibitionists, Mr.. Bryan has his own
particular tipplc. Applause is to him a
heavy vine. All night long he had
been fighting in committee meeting
where there had been not so much as
a single "Yea, bo" Just a nip Of the
clamor Of crowd loosed MS tongue.
He was off to the heights, belaboring
his foes right and left. His voice
doomed to the roof and to every corner
of the hall. Images from the Bible
crowded in. He saw the newly cnfran-
chised women of America as the I'M
known host on the mountain top which
came to Isaiah in his moment of de-
spair. He was alive and glowing, and
he lifted the crowd with every sentence
and with every word
Nothing which Mr. Bryan said was
particularly notable if it be set down
in cold type. But he is the most mar
vc!ous of all our public speakers in
catching the rhythm of a crowd. He
knows that there is tide in every
big audience and he is quick to sense
the moment Of flood. He made the
most spectacular speech which has
been made at either convention. He
received the most sincere and thrilling
demonstration. Nothing was done to
help it out. The band gave his crowd
no inspiring tunes. There were no
paid shouters, no banners and no

By Manufacture
Convention Complied With

and Industrial Issues

Scnuice
SAN FRANCISCO, July 3.-The plat
form adopted by the Democratic Ma
tonal Convention was approved to-day
by manufacturers who expressed them-
selves as fairly we'll satisfied with it.
Constant Meese, of San Francisco,
vice president of the National Assoc:
alton of Manufacturers, which organl-
cation adopted the platform as repre-
senting industry, said
1--WE are gratified to observe that the
platform adopted by the democratic
party recognizes in many Of its i'm
portant fundamentals parts of the
platform for American industry which
was submitted to the convention as
representing not only the desire of
productive industry. but of large per-
centage of the general business men
who have been kcenly anxious over the
declarations Of policy Of both the dom
lnant parties.
"The Democratic platform recognizes
industry's desires in probably the most
important phase. tn. the public inter
est must alwayS 10 held paramount and
chat the right to strike or lock out
must be defined and limited wherever
it conflicts with the community's pare
mount right of self preservation. The
Democratic party holds, as does indus
try, that neither employer nor en-
ployce should at any time take action
that would jeopardiZe the public vel
fare. The Democratic party pledges
itself to contrive. if possible, and put
into effective operation fair and com

ferences that endanger the health and
lives Of the people. The Democratic
party also holds that in the matter of
government service the rights Of the
people are paramount to the right to
strike.
"Thc Democratic platform also rec
ognlzes industrys platform in urging
that foreign trade should be greatly
encouraged instead of discouraged. 1t

present system, devised under the i'm

revised, and that its continuance can

But Colby's Strategy Won Votes

whistles. 1t was the real thing. and it
might have run an hour instead of
twenty minutes if the chairman had
not threatened to clear the galleries.
Mr.. Bryan is at lis most dangerous
best when he has been hit. We do not
wish to imply that he il not a good
enough Christian to meet blow by
turning the other cheek, but this is
the more eloquent side. and rs he turns
ne talks.
Yet when the convention came to vote
on the planks offered by Mr.. Bryan he
received on his best showing only 1856 II
votes. This is partly because of the
fact that it is strictly an officeholders'
convention, and while postmaster may
cheer with Mr.. Bryan he is pretty sure
to vote with Mr.. Wilson.
But thcrc was still another factor.
Bryan had come close to the impossible
feat of stampcding the convention, and
then along came Colby. We have heard
Bainbridgc Colby talk many times and
never thought him any great shakes.
He seemed to us rather Indifferent
disciple of the spreadeagle school, but
the whole convention. 1t did not set
the flags to huttering nor tumble all
the state standards into a war dance,
but it made votes.
Mr.. Colby was shrewd The conven-
ton had heard Bryan and Cochran.
Both had tried for altitude Colby's
slogan was "Going down" He gave
the convention q change in delivery.
His was the quiet and conversational
method He spoke we'll of Mr.. Bryan
and every compliment was thrust in
the ribs. He spoke humorously, and
before single touch of fun the loft
lest cdiice of oratory tumbes. Mr..
Bryan had given the dry delegates in
toxicating eloquence. Colby gave them
spirits of ammonia. Can you hear
me?" he said early in his address, and
one or two persons in the back of the
hall shouted "No."
81 can talk a good deal louder" said
Colby "but | don't think so we'll when
[ talk loud"
1t is d slogan which should be on the
front page Of every textbook on public
speaking. We wrote a few days ago
that we believed that any politician
who would talk to 10000 people in the
same easy and natural manner which
he should use in a room would sue
coed admirably. After hearing Colby
yesterday we are sure Of it, The tri-
umph of the day was his Bryan got
all the cheers and Colby got all the
votes.
