BOURBONS WILL STICK TO HEAT FAILS TO DAMPEN ENTHUSIASM WOMEN DEMOCRATS ASK DRY AND EQUA hour law in congress, how he was instrumental in passing the Clayton act and how he had on occasions defended unions without fees. Governor Ritchie's boom is the latest to strike the corridors of the Waldorf with a bang. At first his Maryland backers simply intended to give him a couple of complimentary votes, but the conviction steadily increasing that Smith and McAdoo have killed each other and with no heir apparent in sight, the friends of the governor saw a gleam of light. They figured as long as the barriers were down and it was a free for all, Governor Ritchie might as well get in. As if by magic, cards went up to the Waldorf corridors with his picture and the legend of his availability. It was 12:45 when "Joe" Hughes of Iowa, sergeant-at-arms of the convention, stalked out on the platform and began pounding for order. He had to sound so hard he broke his gavel. The delegates were tired and almost immediately came to order. Cordell Hull, chairman of the national committee, took charge. He introduced Cardinal Hayes, who asked divine guidance for the democrats here assembled. When the cardinal finished the band played the "Star Spangled banner" and the audience rose.

Woodrow Wilson and the League of Nations." Senator Harrison did not attempt to continue his speech. He had a chair brot to him and sat on the platform, mopping his perspiring face. After the demonstration had continued nearly ten minutes the heat began to dampen the ardor of the marchers and slowly they began to work their way to their seats again. The band, however. It was 12:45 when "Joe" Hines of Iowa, sergeant-at-arms of the convention, stalked out on the platform and began pounding for order. He had to sound so hard he broke his gavel. The delegates were tired and almost immediately came to order. Cordell Hull, chairman of the national committee, took charge. He introduced Cardinal Hayes, who asked divine guidance for the democrats here assembled. When the cardinal finished the band played the "Star Spangled Banner" and the audience rose. As the first strains of the music broke over the hall hundreds of tiny flags were released from the ceiling and fluttered down over the heads of the delegates. The national colors were intertwined with the colors of the flag of the city of New York. Then Anna Case, a star of the Metropolitan Opera Co., sang the National Anthem from the platform. She was a beautiful and striking figure in a white gown and a big black picture hat, and she delegates came thru for her with a whoop. The old garden fairly vibrated with the swelling volume from 12,000 throats. She was heartily applauded when she finished. Time out was taken for the photographers to get the official convention photograph. Charles A. Greathouse of Indiana, secretary of the national committee, then read the official call for the convention. Chairman Hull then proposed in the name of the national committee that Senator Pat Harrison of Mississippi be named temporary chairman and mention of his name brot a yell from Mississippi and applause from other states. A long list of other temporary officers followed, each state applause when its name was mentioned. When the reading was finished, ex-Governor Campbell of Ohio was recognized and moved the selections of the national committee to approved and it went over with a yell that made it unanimous. Hull then appointed a committee consisting of ex-Senator Hitchock of Nebraska. Mrs. Caroline Hutz-Reeves of Connecticut and former Secretary of War Newton D. Baker of Ohio, to escort Senator Harrison to the platform. "Pat" was given an ovation as he thrashed his way thru the crowded aisles to the platform. "You tell 'em, Pat," and "Give it to 'em, Pat," were flung at him from delegates as he took the rostrum. The cheering for the popular Mississippi broke out afresh as Hull formally introduced Harrison. "Oh, you, Pat," they yelled at him, and some of the more sympathetic offered: "Take off your coat, Pat." during the senator's speech came when after reviewing the scandals of peace time republicanism, he went into the history of the investigations which the Republican congress made into Democratic expenditures during the war. Fifty-one separate committees, dominated by Republicans, he said, tried to "get something on" the Democratic officials who had been in the Wilson administration. "Show me the Democratic spirit," he shouted. "There was not one." The delegates rose in their seats and cheered and the band helped it along by striking up a popular air. The heat in the hall by this time was becoming intense. Senator Harrison collar was a limp rag around his neck and perspiration dripped off his face in a steady stream. Whole rows of male delegates dotted their coats and sat in their shirt sleeves fanning vigorously. Cheering and applause greeted Harrison's accusation but President Coolidge has "wobbed" on the world court, but the cheers and the applause which has gone before were as nothing compared with the demonstration that one with the first mention of Watrow Wilson's name. With the pronouncement of the name, the delegates sprang to their feet almost as one man and the garden roared with their cheers and the air was filled with hats thrown aloft. In less than three minutes the first demonstration of the convention was under way. An enthusiastic delegate from Ohio seized Ohio's flag and started around the aisle. A special officer shoved him back. But while the din continued, other state flags began to waver about in eager hands and finally under the leadership of the same Ohio youth they parade was started. The band helped it along, blaring into the stirring strains of "The Stars and Stripes Forever" and then into "Hail, Hall, The Gang's All Here." Those delegates that did not fall into line on the continuous trek about the aisles stood in their chairs and yelled their approval of the proceedings. There were cries of "hurrah for Woodrow Wilson and the League of Nations." Senator Harrison did not attempt to continue his speech. He had a chair brot to him and sat on the platform, mopping his perspiring face. After the demonstration had continued nearly ten minutes the heat began to dampen the ardor of the marchers and slowly they began to work their way to their seats again. The band, however, kept up a continual medley of popular selections. Madame Case came back to the rostrum and quieted the blaring band with two uplifted and beautiful arms. She controlled the convention far better than any chairman was ever able to do. The delegates did her bidding without question and sang themselves hoarse with her doing it. As she finished, Harrison restored the convention to a semblance of order. Aisles were cleared and he plunged again into the course of his speech. His every reference to Wilson and Wilsonian foreign policy brot cheers, applause and cries of approval. Harrison finished speaking at 2:40 and was accorded a tremendous ovation. He was well nigh exhausted. Perspiration drenched him. While the delegates stood and exhibited their approval the band struck up "Over There." Despite the humidity, the gathering was put in high good spirits by the witty keynote speech by Senator Pat Harrison of Mississippi. His quips at the administration; his thrusts at President Coolidge and the Cleveland convention; and his sparkling humor kept in delegates in almost constant unrather of laughter and submerged in bitter factional fight prevalent over platform issues and candidates. A tribune was paid to Woodrow Wilson, those voice, when he lived, would have been a dominant factor in this convention. In the first mention of his name by Senator Harrison not the convention to its feet alight as a unit while a cheer that hundred and made the framework of the old garden vibrate. For 15 minutes the demonstration of respect and revenge for the dead continued unabate. Banners of various states were caught up by eager, enthusiastic Wilson Democrats and a parse started thru the aisles that hit... for Harrison to the platform. "Pat," was given an ovation as he threshed his way thru the crowded aisles to the platform. "You tell 'em, Pat," and "Give it to 'em, Pat," were flung at him from delegates as he took the rostrum. The cheering for the popular Mississippi plan broke out afresh as Hull formally introduced Harrison. "Oh, you, Pat," they yelled at him, and some of the more sympathetic offered: "Take off your coat, Pat." It was hot. They lost no time in showing their approval for Senator Harrison's remarks. When he mentioned that Albert B. Fall "goes unmolested on his ranch in New Mexico and Daugherty sat in the Cleveland convention with the approval of President Coolidge while Daugherty's lawyer was chairman of the rules committee in the worst boss-ridden convention of a generation," they fairly lifted the roof. "The cornerstone of the Republican party is special privilege," said Senator Harrison, and there was a shout of approval. Senator Harrison's attack on the Mellon plan was received with hearty applause. His challenge to President Coolidge to try to supplant the coalition tax bill passed by this congress with the Mellon bill next season was greeted with "that's right" and "go to it." Laughter greeted his reference to the administration claiming credit for the limitation of armament conference. "A Democrat first suggested that conference," said the senator, "and it was pushed by Bill Borah of Idaho, in spite of the Republican administration. This was the same Borah that at Cleveland a week ago refused to be roped in by the Republicans to bolster up their ticker." Senator Harrison departed from his text somewhat to poke fun at the Cleveland convention. He wept at the manner in which Republican senators went to Cleveland and received but little recognition. Laughter greeted his picture of "these Caesars" and it increased in volume when he referred to the D. O. P. as "the Grand Old Party."

HILL COLLAPSES AGAIN MADISON SQUARE GARDEN, NEW YORK, June 24.—Cordell Hull, chairman of the Democratic national committee, suffered another collapse today from heat and was carried unconscious from the platform of the Democratic convention just as Senator Pat Harrison finished his keynote speech. Today's collapse was the second in two days for the Tennesseecean. It was attributed to the intense heat of the garden and the extremely arduous task of Chairman Hull in arranging for the convention. He was warned by his physicians as to over-exertion. He was revived after a few minutes. Hull came back on the speaker's platform and altho he was obviously weak he said he "felt all right." PLAN TAX STAMPEDE NEW YORK, June 24.—Details of a careful bit of strategy by which former Secretary of War Newton D. Baker is expected to stampede the Democratic national convention for ex-Governor Gox of Ohio, leaked out today from the Buckeye delegation's headquarters. Baker, according to these reports, intends to sweep the Wilson enthusiasts off their feet by reading a letter never made public from the former president to Cox, in which Mr. Wilson is described as saying that Cox was the only outstanding member of the Democratic party with courage to stand up for the Wilson doctrines, foreign, and domestic, without reservation. CHAIRMAN HULL IMPROVED NEW YORK, June 24.—Cordell Hull, chairman of the Democratic national committee, was reported to be feeling "very much improved" this morning. Hull had collapsed yesterday and for a time it was feared he would not be able to preside at today's opening session of the convention. His office declared that he was so much better he would be able to rap the convention to order according to schedule.

In the end a resolution of respect was offered and adopted and the convention then adjourned until 11 o'clock Wednesday morning when it will reassemble to hear the speech of the permanent chairman, Senator Walsh of Montana. The platform and other committees started work immediately after adjournment. At 2:45 Senator Harrison restored order with a vigorous rapping of his gavel and presented Mayor Hyllan, who received a generous welcome. "Wall street is not merely a street with a river at one end and a cemetery at the other," said the mayor. "It is more. It is a canyon of political scheming and trickery which makes itself felt in the lives of every citizen, in the food he eats and the clothes he wears. "It is a street where the international bankers pile up gold and still more gold." He concluded by advising the delegates the town will be theirs and the police are under orders not to interfere with any of 'em. They liked that and cheered it. Mrs. Frank Reeves of the state of Washington, then introduced the following resolution in memorial of Woodrow Wilson: "Resolved, That the Democratic party of the nation, in convention assembled, profoundly laments the death of that incompatible American, Woodrow Wilson, whose leadership and achievements constitute an epoch in the world's history. In deepest homage to his memory we reverently invoke his spirit to brood over the deliberations of this body and to inspire its activities by the fine sense of devotion and the clear conception of patriotism which signalize his conduct of the government. His administration, so notable for its accomplishments in the realm of real statesmanship, will forever remain a source of pride to future generations. American Democracy is honored and American citizenship adorned by the character, faith and idealism of this great man. We are glad to exalt his record and to take inspiration from the things he said and did. And now as a further mark of respect for his memory this convention will stand in res- until 11 o'clock daylight time Wednesday."

Gleanings Book Five FROM THE GLEANINGS BOOK FIVE A LIBERAL EDUCATION That man, Thomas Huxley thought, has had a liberal education who has been so trained in youth that his body is the ready servant of his will, and does with ease and pleasure all the work that, as a mechanism, it is capable of; Whose intellect is a clear, cold, logic engine, with all its parts of equal strength and smooth working order; ready, like a steam engine, to be turned to any kind of work, and spin the goosserms as well as forge the anchors of the mind; Whose mind is stored with knowledge of the great fundamental truths of Nature and of the laws of her operations; one who, no stained ascetie, is full of fire and life, but whose passions are trained to come to heal by a vigorous will, the servant of tender conscience; Who has learned to love all beauty whether of Nature or of art, to hate all vileness, and to respect others as himself. "To everyone of us the world was once as fresh and new as to Adam," Huxley says. "And then, long before we were susceptible of any other mode of instruction, Nature took us in hand, and every minute of working life brot its educational influence, shaping our actions into rough accordance with Nature's laws, so that we might not be ended untimely by too gross disobedience. "Nor should I speak of this process of education as past for any one, be he as old as he may. For every man the world is as fresh as it was at the first day, and as full of untold novelties for him who has the eyes to see them. And Nature is still continuing her patient education of us in that great university, the universe, of which we are all members—Nature having no test." are worth turning round. "Survey our innocent pleasures are not so abundant in this life that we can afford to despise this or any other source of them. We should fear being banished for our neglect to that limbo, where the great Florentine tells us are those who, during this life, weep when they might be joyful." TRUTH ALSO LYING Samuel Butler did not mind lying, but he hated inaccuracy. Yet, he believed that there is no such source of error as the pursuit of absolute truth. "The pursuit of truth is chimerical. That is why it is so hard to say what truth is. There is no permanent absolute unchangeable truth; why we should pursue is the most convenient arrangement of our ideas. Some more of Butler's ideas about truth: "The firmest line that can be drawn upon the smoothest edges has still jagged edges if seen through a microscope. This does not matter until important deductions are made on the supposition that there are no jagged edges." "An absolute lie may live—for true lies, and is saved by being flickered with a grain of its opposite. Not so absolute truth." "Whenever we push truth hard she comes to earth in contradiction in terms, that is to say, in falsehood. An essential contradiction in terms merely us at the end of every inquiry." "Perhaps a little bit of absolute truth on any one question might prove a general solvent, and dissipate the universe." "Truth generally is kindness, but where two diverge or collide, kindness should override truth." DEPT TWO THIRDS RULE NEW YORK, June 24. — The committee of the Demotion this afternoon noted the much discussed twoda rule.
