floff Plaza, Clarksburg, W. Va.
John W. Davis opened his campaign
for the presidency of the United
States Monday night in a veritable
torrent of rain, a rain that soaked the
thousands of persons who had jour
neyed from many cities to witness the
formal ceremonies to notify the candi
date of biff selection as the standard
bearer of the democratic party.
Undaunted by the weather, Mr.
Davis stood under an umbrella held
by a friend and launched a bitter at
tack upon the republican party, de
claring it had shaken public confi
dence to "its very foundation." And
the great throng gathered to listen to
his speech, only a few of whom were
able to provide a makeshift shelter
from the storm with newspapers and
other non-waterproof materials, stay
ed on despite the rain. They listened
to Mr. Davis denounce the republicans
for having "exhibited a deeper and
more widespread corruption than any
that this generation of Americans has
been called upon to witness."
The supreme need of the time, said
the nominee, Is to bring back to the
people confidence in their govern
ment. Having thus sounded the rallying
cry of democracy's hosts in the bat
tle ahead, Mr. Davis with vigor and
force presented the program to which
pledged himself it given the man
dale of the American people.
He promised as the chief feature
of this program an honest, impartial
and just government; tax and tariff
revision; farm aid; co-operation "of
ficially" with all legitimate endeavors
to lessen the prospect 01 war; econ
omy in government, conservation of
ill the nation's natural resources and
si rid enforcement of the prohibit ion
as well as all other laws.
Turning to the subject of religious
freedom! which was the basis of a
sharp fight in the New York conven
tion tbat' named him as the party
candidate, Mr. Davis did not mention
the ft. K. K. by name, but was em
phatic In his declaration of opposition
to any challenge, organized or un
organized, under whatever name or in
whatever character It might appear,
of the constitutional guarantees of
religious freedom.
The delivery of ills acceptance ad
dress marked the culmination of a
day of intense activity for the can

mittee and the notification committee

VAIN RED ROSE
Washington, D. C Opposition may
be encountered in congress to the
cheme for funding the French and
talian debts to thp United States
on a somewhat more favorable basi.-s
than the British agreement.
The nroposed plan, as reported to
have been discussed informally by
American officials with repreaenta
ives of the French and Italian gov
ernments during the past mouth, can
not be made effective without the
sanction of congress. The consent of
congress to tho British debt funding
arrangement was given rather grudg-
ngly and any further concessions to
oilier governments may call forth new
opposition.
Congress has already balked on
several occasions over the granting of
authority for the funding of foreign
debts on terms favorable to the
debtors.
The original legislation proposed by
he treasury giving the secretary of
ho treasury broad authority to enter
into funding arrangements was re-
ected by congress and the bill finally
nacted vested limited power in the
hands of the world war foreign debt
oxnmls&ion. Under this law the com
mission with the approval of the presi
dent was given authority to accept
bonds of debtor nations in exchange
for the demand obligations and ac
crued interest thereon. The com
mission, however, was limited to tak
ing bonds running not more than 25
years and carrying interest at not
less 1 ban 4V4 per cent.
Tho original members of the com
mission were Secretary of the Treas
ury Mellon as chairman; Secretary of
Slate Hughes, Secretary of Commerce
Hoover, Senator Smoot republican,
Utah; and Representative Burton, re
publican, Ohio.
Demands for democratic representa
tion led to an amendment of the law
authorizing the appointment of three
democrats. The present democratic
members are Edward N. Hurley of
Chicago, war time chairman of the
hipping board; Representative Crisp,
Ceorgia, and ex-ltepresentative Olney,
Massachusetts.
The commission found that it was
impossible to make any funding ar
rangements on the basis prescribed
by congress. When an agreement was
reached by the commission with Creat
Britain for the funding of principal
and accumulated interest totaling 4,-
000,000,000 over a 62-year period and
with interest at 3 per cent until 1132
und 3V4 per cent thereafter. It was
necessary to obtain the specific ap
proval of congress. The bill granting
this approval encountered opposition
but with the support of the administra
tion it finally went through.
Later a similar measure approving
funding arrangements with Finland
on the same basis as the British agree
ment was approved with less difficulty.
Ancient Bones Dug Up.
Bakersfield, Cal. Hones of extinct
animals, including those of the horse.
dog anil pig family believed to have
roamed Kern county hills some 2.O00,
UO0 years ago, have been found near
ihe l'oso creek station by W. H. W.
Kew, geologist, who has been making
a study of geological formations. The
geologist stated that he believed the
bones to be those of the pliocene age.
He has sent them to the University
of California.
ONE morning In a garden there was
a little dewdrop that wanted to
get away from the sun's hot breath
that It might stay In the garden all
dav, so It nestled close to a beautiful
red rose and whispered: "Hide me
beautiful roue. In the soft petals -of
your lovely gown."
The rose was very vain and thought
only of her own beauty, so she told
little dewdrop to creep close luslde
and nestle In her heart, for she want
ed to keep it until moonlight flooded
the garden when her lover, the night
ingale, would come to sing to her his
love song.
Away down deep In her heart crept
little dewdrop, thinking that red rose
must love It to let It rest In her heart
Church Raps Evolution.
Oakland. Cal. Resolutions denounc
ing the teaching of the doctrine of
evolution were adopted by the hien
nlal conference of the Seventh Day
Advoitiists of California, which closed
here Sunday. The resolutions de
clared the doctrine of evolution to be
"diametrically opposed to the very
fundamentals of Christianity."
72 in Mine Death List.
Tokio.- The death list In the in
yamu coal mine in Fukushima pro

evening entombed native workers, had
reached 72 Sunday. Fifty six bodies

Carried It to Another Rose.
and that when night came It would
shine on one of the beautiful red
petals of the rose and they would be
the most admired of all the garden
folks.
But It did not know the cold, vain
heart of the beautiful rose and nil day
long she kept dewdrop from peeping
once Into the garden, as It longed to
do, for fear of losing the jewel she
wished to adorn her beauty at 'night.
By and by when the moonlight crept
Into the garden making It almost
like day the big red rose opened and
told dewdrop to rest upon one of her
soft petals.
"Tonight I shall be the loveliest
rose In the garden, for I can see that
none of my sisters wears a jewel. How
fortunate you are, little dewdrop, to
have me near you I"
Just then the sweet tones of the
nightingale's love song filled the gar
den and red rose swayed a little in
the breeze that the jewels might
sparkle In the moonlight und make
her more beautiful In the eyes of her
lover.
When the nightingale flew closer
and told the vain rose she was in
deed the most beautiful rose In the
garden she tossed her proud head and
down tumbled the poor UMle dewdrop
to the ground.
"Now see what you have donel
said the angry rose. "After I shel
1 nil dnv vou repay my kind
ness In this way." Never a word did
she ask about the poor little dewdrop
that lay trembling on the ground be
low. "Rose, dear rose," cried the dew
drop, "do bend over and help me to
rest again on your soft cheek I"
"Bend over, Indeed," replied the
rose. "Why, you foolish thing. I
might break my slender stem. You
have spoiled my evening by tumbling
off and you expect me to help you."
"But don't you love me, Rose, dear?"
asked the dewdrop, who hud been all
day close to her heart and had grown
to love her deeply.
"Love you !" exclaimed the vain
rose. "Why, you silly little drop. I
only saved you from the sun that you
might make me more beautiful at
night when the nightingale came to
sing to me."
The nightingale had censed his sing
ing and had heard what the vain rose
said, so he flew down to the dewdrop
and lifted It in his bill and carried it
to another rose more fragrant than
the red rose but not so beautiful.
Into the very heart of the pnle pink
rose the nightingale dropped the dew
drop. "Here you will find sweetness
that will be worthy of your love," said
the nightingale. "Here will I come
each night and sing my love song, for
the red rose has no heart for love. It
Is filled with vanity."
For her vanity and cruel treatment
of little dewdrop the proud red beauty
not only lost her Jewel but her lover.

Have You This Habit?

QheWhy j
MANNERS
THE professor wns waiting for his
long-distance call. Meanwhile he
was getting In on other connections.
"Give me Main 31G2 right away. I
have exactly a minute to spend on
this, and I don't wish to be kept wait
ing," came a high-pitched, nervous
voice.
"Main 31C2," answered Central ltn
perturbably. "No, no I You've made a mistake I
That Isn't the right number at all I I
eld Main 3261."
"Main 3201," repeated Central, her
measured tones calm nnd courteous.
"I beg your pardon."
"Give me the manager 1" screamed
the one in a hurry. "That's twice
you've gotten It wrong. 31C2, 3162
Is what I've kept asking you for.
And I told you I was In a hurry."
"The manager," agreed Central un
ruffled. "Is this the manager?" the profes
sor heard next. "I've been trying for
half an hour to get Main 3261. Cen
tral pays no attention to what I say.
This Is the worst exchange In the city.
And I'm In a hurry. I told Central I
was In a hurry. I want Main 3162 !"
Then the professor's call came
through and he left to take the sub
way downtown marveling at telephone
technique In the face of public plg
glihness. There was a rush In the subway.
Ahead of him was a lndy of uncertain
years with yellow, yellow hair, and n
very tight skirt. The train had come
In on a curve and there was n wide
gap to step across. Milady walked
with her head In the air.
"Watch your step I Watch your
step! WATCH YOUR STEP!" The
cry Just saved her from going square
through to the track below.
She turned with a withering glunce
to the guard.
"What Is your number? Such Im
pertinence I What is your number, I
say?-'
"Fouraeven slx, lady. Watch your
step!"
The last the professor saw of tier
she had squeezed Into a seat ahead of
a forelgu woman carrying a little
baby, whom the same guard was help
ing aboard.
On the train, as he though over the
day, it was the public about whom the
professor felt pessimistic. It seemed
to him that those who serve the pub
lic have, on the whole, acquired the
habit of professional courtesy, while
the manners of some of the public
themselves sometimes are for private
use only.

THE EMPTY CRADLE
Rock the cradle empty
Chlllren will be plenty.
THIS rhyme, slightly changed In the
wording In various localities, is
common all over the United States
and Canada. It Indicates superstition
which is based purely upon the sympa
thetic magic of our primitive ancestors
that branch of sympathetic magic
known as homeopathic like producing
like.
The custom of rocking an empty
cradle In order to increase the popula
tion has Its counterpart In the customs
of savage tribes existing In a primi
tive state all over the world today
which Indicates that we are a trifle
primitive as yet ourselves. In some
sections while It Is udmltted that rock
ing the empty cradle will produce
"babies a plenty," it Is also believed
that If there Is already a baby In the
family the rocking of Its empty cradle
will work It mischief. Some say it will
kill the child. This Is because it was
believed by primitive man that a baby's
6oul was, as yet, very closely connected
with Its body and great care must be
taken that It be not charmed out of It.
The Idea of the transmigration of
souls sometimes faintly indicated,
sometimes definitely expressed ap
pears to have existed In the various
conceptions of primitive man regard
ing the mysteries by which he was
surrounded nnd confronted. Now rock
ing the empty cradle In an attempt to
conjure a soul to take human form
might conjure away the loosely at
tached soul of the existing body. So
don't rock the cradle for more babies
until the existing one has grown too old
to use a cradle.
