He said he would never forgive
himself IL he dragged mother round
the country and let her take a severe
cold at time when she might be
having a beautiful rest. He said it
was our duty to try and let mother
get all the rest and quiet that she
could, after all that she had done for
all of us. and he said that that was
principally why he had fallen in with
this idea of a fishing trip, so as to
give mother a little quiet. He said
that young people seldom realize how
much quiet means to people who are
getting old. AS to himGs If. he could
still stand the racket. but he was
glad to shelter mother from it.
SO we all drove away, with three
cheers for mother, and mother stood
and watched US from the verandah
for as long as she could see US, and
father waved his hand back to her
every few minutes till he hit his hand
on the back edge of the car, and then
said that he didn't think that mother
could SEQ US any longer.
Well, We had the loveiiest day up
among the hills that you could pos
sibly imagine, and father caught such
big specimens that he felt sure thai
mother couldn't have landed them

though We didn't get SO many as ia
Their. and the two girls met quite i
lot OF people that they knew as We
drove along, and there were SOM
young men friends of theirs that they
met along the stream and talked to,
and so We all had a splendid time

IT was quite late when we got back.
nearly o'clock in the evening
but mother had guessed that we
would be late. SO she had kept back
the dinner, so as to have it just nice
ly ready and hot for US Only first
she had to get towels and soap fo-
father and clean things for him to
put on. because he always gets so
messed up with fishing. and that kept
mother busy for little whitehall
and helping the girls get ready
But at last everything was read!
and We sat down TO the grandest kind
of dinner-roast turkey and all sorts
of things, like on Christmas day
Mother had TO get up and down d
good bit during the meal fetching
things back and forward. but at the
end father noticed it and he said she
her to spare herself, and he got up
and fetched the walnuts over from
the sideboard himself
The dinner lasted a long while and
was great fun. and when il was over

things up and wash the dishes, only
mother said that she would really

1t was quite late when il was al.
over, and when we all kissed mother
before going up to bed, she said i

Frank w. Mondell, of Wyoming, de-
clared today in his address as per-

can national convention.
Mr.. Mondell added an appeal for

that every serious fault of recent

ton in the last congress, when in
surgents Joined with Democrats to
control legislation, Mr.. Mondell said
that never before had the necessity
for dependable party majority and
definite party responsibility been so
clearly demonstrated.
The text of Mr.. Mondelrs address
follows:
Ladies and gentlemen Of the con-
vention:
We are met as the representatives
of a great political party that has
never failed nor faltered in its SER
vice or loyalty to the Republic; that
has never proposed nor advocated
an unwise or unsouad national poll
cy, and it is our privilege on behalf
of this party to place in nomination
for the highest Office in the gift of
the American people candidates
who shall measure up to the finest
standards of party leadership and
who shall be entitled to and, we
confidently believe, will receive the
support of a large majority of the
American voters at the polls in No
vember.
We meet profoundly appreciative
of wise, patriotic and inspiring par
ty leadership in the past, and earn
estly thankful that the kindly Prov
idence and the great good fortune
which gave our party and the ma
ton Lincoln. Mckinley, Roosevelt
and Harding has vouchsafed us as
the worthy successor Of these dis
tinguished patriots the confidence
inspiring character of Calvin Coo
lidge.
The American people placed the
stamp of their approval on the can
didates of the last Republican ma
tional convention by a majority of
more than five and a half million.
Time and events have abundantly
justified that unparalleled endorse
ment. He who was chosen as the
party standard bearer proved his
craftsmanship in The skillful handl-
ing and wise adjustment of impor-
tant and weighty domestic and in
ternational questions and problems.
Diligent in the nations business,
wise in public counsel, honest and
courageous in action, he gave him
self unreservedly. mind and body,
heart and soul. to she nation. and
became as truly a martyr to pa
triotic service as any soldier strick-
en- on the field of battle.

Edge FOrbidS His Name
I'm Vice President Race
Colby Calls for League of Ma
tions Plank Action at Re-
publican Convention
BY LEO j. LANNING
Evening News Special Representative
at Cleveland Convention

HOLLENDEN HOTEL, Cleveland,
Ohio, June 11.-Builders of the Re-
publican platform yesterday after
noon, meeting in the Cleveland city
hall, received warnings to act favor
ably on two leading questions or run
the risk of leaving the credit of such
a course to the Democrats and on
each occasion the admonition came
from a New Jersey speaker. Former
State Senator Everett Colby, Of Es-
sex county, the new idea" leader OF
twenty years ago and whose wife Is
a delegate at large to this conven-
ton, advised the convention plat
form committee, of which former
Governor e. G. Stokes is a mem ber,
to adopt a plank calling for cooper
alton with other countries on the
league of nations, with fitting AM
ericanized amendments. and Mrs.
Lewis S. Thompson, of Monmouth,
presented her strict prohibition en-
forcement plank.
'.As you sit here say to you that
four years from now you viii all be
hollering for the league of nations"
said Colby to the committee. why
not get the credit for 1t now so that
it cannot be taken by the Demo
Gratis ?r
He was speaking as chairman OF
the executive committee of the
| League of Nations Non-Partisan As
socsation. The plank was offered By
Charles II. Strong, who is secretar,
of the Bar Association OF New Yorl
City. 49,
'sDon't say the league is dead
argued Mr.. Colby. Don't say it Il
no longer an issue. The churches
and the women of this country are
for it. Don't say the 1000. 900 voters
for Harding were against it. when
President Coolidge declares they
were not. President Coolidge is a
great asset to the party. If you do
not include a pro-league declaration
leave the whole question OUT and let
him decide the course. If the people
were against the league of nations
they would have shown their grati-
tude to those who defeated it. In
stead they are digging the graves of
the opponents with both hands"
