our first lady charming, gracious wo-
man who is slender and of medium
height with blue-gray eyes, small, aris-
tocratic features and light chestnut
colored hair sprinkled bit with gray.
She has a dignity that could easily
be austere at times but it. goes per
fectly with her cool, blond type. Yet
she has an easy manner and SIM
plicity that is most appealing.
1t is impossible to give a correct
impression of Mrs. Davis, seeing her
just once and seeing her at that time
when, in spite of her happiness and
pride in her husbands achievement,
she is also depressed and sad on ac-
count of the death of her sister, Mrs.
Percy Golf, who died the second day
of the convention.

Of course the Attorney General of Wisconsin
has perfect right to be the campaign man
ager for the candidate of President, but he
should send little note to the Governor telling
him to put some one else on the pay roll In
Wisconsin while he is working In Chicago, New
York or San Francisco, Wisconsin should not
be asked to hire officials who really are acting
as campaign managers.

SPORTS.

Old fogies,s observing the tremendous
crowds at baseball games, often com
ment that the country has gone crazy
on sports.
The ancient Olympic games In Greece
were held in stadium that seated 49,
900 spectators.
The Greeks, however, held their ath-
letio meets only once every four years,
in August. They wanted time to de-
vote to improving their brains. Here
we have baseball half the year and
other sports the other half, with mill
lions of people more interested in
sports than anything else,
Americans do every thing to excess.

Other considerations than his per-
sistence, however, had the deciding
hand in placing him as second man on
the ticket.
William Jennings Bryan is still a
power in the party: Even his bitterest
enemies admit that.
And in the speech by which he
sought to break the deadlock, after the
first five days balloting, Brother Bill
enumerated half dozen candidates
whom he considered as good timber
for the nomination. In this list he
did not include Davis. Davis, he was
frank to say to any who asked, he con-
sidered too close to Wall street.
After Davis had been nominated, the
question then came Of picking run
ming mate that would hold Bryan
William Jennings Bryan to the tic
ket.
The obvious answer was: Brother
Charles"
With Brother Charles on the tail end
of the ticket, Brother Bill certainly
would trail along.
So Charles was nominated. And Bill
says he's satisfied.

In picking Gov, Charles Bryan Of
Nebraska, the Democrats added touch
of color that promises to brighten the
campaign,
Charles, who for many years edit
ed the publication Of his famous and
much-nominated brother, William Jen-
nings, "The Commoner," has shin
ing bald head which he hides under
a little black skull cap. Can't you
just imagine what the Republican car
toonist will do to that?
Charles came to the convention and
occupied room at the Waldorf with
his brother. Bill. He was not dele
gate, and therefore kept off the floor
of Madison Square Garden, but he
spent much time in the runway under
the speakers platform, listening for
something to turn up. Perhaps the
nomination was the reward for his pa
tient persistence.

"The Good Gray Candidate" is title
likely to be appended to John w. Davis,
the Democratic choice for president,
before the campaign has progressed
many weeks.
For the outstanding factor in Davis
appearance is his crown Of snow-white
hair. His face is that of the average
well-fed, well-kept, smooth-shaven man
of 81, trifie florid after exertion, but
with not too high color and devoid
Of any wrinkling of age. His white
hair, however, is that of patriarch
Of the 70's.
Davis is Comfortable" sort of per-
son. Thoroughly at ease himself in
any company, he makes those around
him feel at ease. He Is also easy and
comfortable in his clothes, preferring
soft-collared shirts and roomy light
weight suits to the more dignified hab-
iliments Of many near-great lawyers.
This ease of bearing, which lends
him distinction in any garb and any
company, once led an English Journal
ist to say of him that, even at court
receptions and formal functions which
he attended as American ambassador
to Great Britain, where gold braid and
glittering uniforms are the rule, and
where even our George Harvey appear
ed in knee pants, Davis, in ordinary
evening dress, carried an air which
marked him as one Of the striking fig
ures in any group.

intrepidity above their comrades, in
volving risk of life in the perform
ance of more than hazardous service,

ly subject the person to censure as
for shortcomings or failure in the
performance of his duty. And that
is just what It. J. Ward did. The
inscription on the medal won by him
is as follows:
1.-THE congress to Sergeant Major
Thomas j. Ward, 116 Ill. Vols, for
gallantry at Vicksburg, Miss, May
%, 1863"
The act which won the medal was
one that even seasoned veterans
would hesitate to perform. To Ward,
a beardless youth, "it vas all in a
days work" So little did he think
of it that 1t took the secretary of
war 81 years to find him that the
medal might be presented. Ward
was then In Anaconda, having follow
ed the trail to the west. With the
exception of a few friends who had
gone through the war with him, no
other persons in Anaconda knew un-
til recently that his service to his
country had VOL for him the highest
award conferred by the United States.

his brother was surrounded by hos
tile redskins on the road between
Bryan and the Black Hills. Loading
up with ammunition, Mcguire mount
ed his horse and made an all-night
ride, arriving at the camp Of his
brother before daylight. He rustled
up the mules that were grazing near
by and tied them to the wagon, built
a barricade of flour sacks and was
prepared for action when the first
Indian appeared on the horizon. He
was getting ready to shoot when his
brother awoke. Becoming excited,
the latter pinioned Maguire's arms
while the Indians poured a fusillade
into the camp. Later they rode away
and it was not until years later that
Mcguire learned that the lives of his
brother and himself had been spared
only because of the redmen's belief
that they we're crazy. An Indian con

1",493,712 visitors. For automobile
use the existing park roads are in
many instances too narrow for safe
driving, contain too much adverse
grade, and particularly have not the
base to withstand the continuous and
severe pounding of modern high-pow-
cred motor vehicle travel. With the
exception of about II miles of pave
.ment in two of the parks, there are
no hard surfaced roads in the system,
and hard %surfacing is imperative. In
trying to maintain the roads in at
least traversable condition unusually
heavy maintenance charges have re-
suited, and in fact in several of the
parks reconstruction of existing roads
would be less expensive than to con-
tinue the annual maintenance and re-
pair charges.
Much Criticism
The national parks of the country
are the lodestones of travel - they
draw travel as nothing else does
and yet under existing conditions,
when the people of the United States
have accepted the invitation of the
government to visit these superb
scenic reservations they encounter
such poor roads that severe criticism
results. This criticism is considered
well merited by the visitors because
it is the policy of the government to
exact an automobile license fee for
use of the roads in most Of the major
parks where there is a large road
mileage. Revenues from automobile
license fees alone amounted to $685.
S62 in 1922 and 1886, $3.50 in 1928.
These receipts are not available for
improvement of the roads, but are
deposited in the treasury to the credit
of miscellaneous receipts.
cit is estimated that it will take not
less than $7,5O0,00O, to be expended
over a period of three years to put
the park roads in satisfactory and
safe condition for motor travel, a
figure indeed small when compared
with the large amounts authorized In
aid of good roads. In our national
road program the national parks have
been practically ignored and l believe
that the proposed legislation will
meet with general public approval"

Colds are merely congestion. Mus
