THAT CONVENTION With the nomination of Mr. Kern Friday, the Democratic convention of 1908 passses into history. It was a remarkable gathering, remarkable in many ways. When the convention met there were few to believe that it would be able to achiev e any degree of harmony in the Democratic party. Yet that result has been brought to pass. To be sure the harmony Is not complete. On the contrary, as th e days go by, we shall no doubt find that there are many dissentients. The New York Sun, the New York Times, 1 the New York Evening Post, will do no doubt maintain their old attitult of opposition to Bryan. Even the Springfield Republican, which has always been rather tender toward the Nebraskan, speaking before the nomination had been made, predicted the choice of Mr. Bryan, and added that he “will likely go down to defeat again at the polls.” But all this does not alter the fact that the Democratic party is today in a healthier condition than since 1892. It will have support in sections of the country ajid from many men that gave it practically no support in sections of the country and from many men that gave it practically no support either in 189 G or 1900. This result is due entirely to the mor e conciliatory temper of Mr. Bryan, and to his great ability as a political manager—a newly developed quality in him. Ther e can be no doubt that the ticket will make a strong appeal to the masses. And so will the platform. No one can talk even casually with his neighbors without being impressed with that facti It is known (that' many men who have not voted the Democratic ticket since 1892 are going to do so this year. It has been the fashion to say that the gold Democrats were simply Republicans in disguise —and thi s has been the view of Mr. Bryan—but it is a great mistake. Most of them have maintained an entire detachment. Most of them, too, have grown weary of voting with the Republicans and have longed for a chanc e to return to their old allegiance. Others have felt that the only wa to strengthen th e Democratic party and to make it fit to govern the country was to trust it and to

give it a chanc e to learn by experience. These have argued that to exclude it permanently from power would be to weaken it so as to make it forever unfit for administrative functions. Finally, there are others who have begun to suspect that they are more critical of their own party than of the opposition and to feel that when there is nothing to choose between the two parties it is wiser to give their own party the preference. All these motives are operating, and they will have their effect. It is hard to see how any man that is a Democrat should, as a properly practical man, prefer the Chicago to th e Denver ticket. The country, in our opinion, may well rejoice at the growing strength of the Democratic party. For years th e people have suffered from the lack of an effective opposition. If there had been one the Republican party would have been saved from many mistakes, and >he country would have profited in many ways. We think, . therefore, that the convention served, not only the great party, which it represented, but the whole country. All this is quit e without reference to what the result of the campaign may be, as i to which it would be foolish to make ; any prediction at the present time. We firmly believe that though the Democratic party may be defeated in November, it will not be overwhelmed as it has been of recent ytars, and that, whatever the result, it will come out of the campaign stronger than it has been at any time since 1892. It was a great convention, and the influence of its work will be felt for many years. We believe, too, that the influence will b e good, both for the party and for the nation. —Indianapolis News, Rep. FEAST OF ORATORY (Continued from Page One) i hearts of the people. “Th e Holy City” was then rendered after which Dr. W. E. Smith royally entertained the an dience by his well prepared address on “The Bible as a Health Book. ’ Dr. Smith made many thought provok- ' ing assertions during th e course of his interesting lecture and he easily proved that if the health laws of the bible were observed, most of the sickness would disappear. Mrs. L. A. Stangle favored the audience with a well received vocal selection, her beautiful voice inspiring the audience, aftr which Otto C. Boggs talked of the “Relationship of the Bible to Journal-, ism.” His talk was very interesting and many logical thoughts were presented to th e satisfaction of all. An address by Rev, Stangle and the singing of “Praise God from Whom all Blessings Flow” marked the close of the program. ECZEMA IS NOW CURABLE. A St. Louis chemist, after many years of careful experimenting and investigation, has discoverede a simple , remedy that has cured hundreds of cases of eczema that had been pronounced incurable. This chemist believed that eczema and all itching skin diseases were of local origin and were caused by germs which attacked and fed on the skin. He began to search for a remedy that would destroy these germs, and found that by combining the active principles of certain well known vegeteable drugs, and applying them locally, the first application stopped th e itching and burning, and if used persistently would drive all germs and their poisons t othe surface of the skin and destroy them, leaving a nice, clear, healthy skin. He gave this remarkable remedy the suggestive name of Zemo, and since Its introduction to the public Zemo has proven "a very popular remedy and is today recognized the most successful and meritorius remedy ever produced for the relief and cure of eczema and all diseases of the skin and scalp. Mr. Falk, the druggist, recommends and endorses Zemo and says he believes Zemo to be an honest medicine and will do all that is claimed fir it. o G. B. Burhaus Testifies After Four Years. G. B. Burtiaus, of Carlisle Center, N. Y., writes: “About four years ago I wrote you stating that I had been entirely cured of a severe kidney trouble by taking less than two bottles of Fo ley’s Kidney Cure. It entirely stopped the brick dust sediment, and pain and symptoms of kidney disease disappeared. lam glad to say that I have never had a return of any of those symptoms during the four years that have elapsed and I am entirely cured to stay cured, and heartily recommend Foley’s Kidney Cure to any one suffering from kidney or bladder trouble.” THE HOLTHOUSE DRUG CO.

CRAIGVILLE BOY IN RUNAWAY Scratches, Bruses and Sprains Extent of Injuries. Frank Diehl, a foorteen-year-old son of William Diehl, the Craigville butcher, was the victim of a runaway this forenoon in which he received painful injuries, but under the circumstances considers that h eescaped very luckily. He had hitched a team of his father's horses to a wagon and started to Bluffton to get a load of ice for his father’s shop, and was about half a mile south of Craigville when one of the tugs came unlastened and the horses became frightened and the boy lost control of them. They tore down the road at a mad pac e for half a mile, in the course of which Frank fell or was thrown out of the wagon before it finally struck an obstruction and was wrecked. It probably was well for the boy that he fell out before the final crash for he escaped with bad scratches, bruises and sprains as his v’brst injuries. His face was peeled of skin in several places and one arm badly bruised but no bones broken. The horses were only slightly injured. o DOWN IN DEFEAT Decatur Ball Club Met Defeat at the Hands of Portland Sluggers “BIG CAL” ELOPED After Going With Boys to Portland—6 to 3 Was Tune of Game The Decatur base ball club tag returned from Portland, where yesterday they suffered defeat at the hands of the Sluggers of that city. With a patched up team, Captain Pennington and his ’aggregation left on the early Sunday morning train for Portland, big Cal Robison going along as the only pitcher. However, while his team mates were in peaceful slumbers Cal stole quietly out of the hotel and boarded the 7 o'clock train for Decatur without informing his fellow players. Whether the town did not agree with Cal or an attraction in Decatur caused him to return, no one is able to say, but it is an assured fact that his departure caused the Decatur team to go. down in defeat. A pitcher was secured at Portland and in a loosely played game the team of that place won by the score of 6 to 3. 000000000000 o o O DEMOCRAT O O WANT COLUMN O O O 000000 o o o o o o WANTED WANTED —To rent an office desk, either roll top or flat top.

FAIR OPEN AT NIGHT Great Program* to Be Given by Indiana Exposition Each Evening. ENOUGH LIGHT FOR A CITY Arc Lamps and Incandescent Clusters for Illumination —Special Horae Shows, Chariot Races and Hippodrome Features of Many Kinde Will be Given Every Night The Indiana State Fair will this fall be open at night .for the first time in its history. Arrangements for brilliantly illuminating several of the buildings and the streets in the main part of the grounds are being carried out, and special programs have been arranged for each evening of the Fair, beginning with Monday, September 7. Eighty-seven arc lights, as many as required by a city of 6,000 people, will be placed in the buildings and about the grounds and, in addition, a large number of clustered incandescent lights will be used. For about two hours each evening the Art building will be open as well as the women’s rest building. But the center of the Fair’s night activities will be the big live stock pavilion. In the arena of this structure, around which 19,000 people may gather, the night horse shows, as well as those of the day, and the hippodrome program will be given, beginning at 8:16. The night shows in the pavilion will begin with parade of cattle and horses, which have been day features for several years and which have won the favor of many thousand spectators. Fancy turnouts, jumpers, saddle horses and similar exhibitions will make up the horse show. Weber’s band, of Cincinnati, which has played at the State Fair so- several years, will give concerts and two singers will be heard. Chariot and Roman standing races will make up another feature, and hippodrome races with twenty thoroughbreds running over the tanbark arena will be another. Acrobatic bears and a trained pony, the Heras family of ten performers, a troupe of trained dogs and horses, a high wire walker and a high diver will be some of the other attractions.

From early morning until late at night the coming State Fair will be rich in its attractions for visitors from the city and country. The day programs as followed in recent years will be given. The Fair is to be openeed at 9 o’clock on Monday morning and the first races will be given in the afternoon of that day. The band concerts and vaudeville will also start at 1 p. m. Old Soldiers’ and Children’s day will be on Tuesday, and early in the morning the judges will begin work in all departments of the exposition. In the pavilion the draft horses and mules will be shown, as will the cattle. The show of light harness and saddle horses will begin on Wednesday morning, and the band concerts will start at 9 a. m. The first parade of horses and cattle will be given before the grandstand at 1 p. m.. preceding the races and vaudeville. The Fair always reaches its height on Thursday and it will this fall, with the cattle and horse shows, the ring contests in the swine and sheep departments, and special displays of flowers in Horticultural hall. In the afternoon the live stock parades and races the vaudeville, poultry show, and all departments of the exposition will be in full swing. During the races each afternoon, the Indianapolis Military Bind will give a concert in th" —opgqtand. while Weber’s Band will play in the pavilion.

The final day of the Fair, Friday, will be marked by the close of the ring shows, races, band concerts and vaudeville throughout the day, with a horse show and hippodrome program in the pavilion at night During several Fairs, the State Board of Agriculture has given a band concert at the grandstand at night, but not until the coming Fair will the lighting of the buildings and grounds be tried, and the programs will be much more elaborate than in other years. Under the new order, visitors from away from Indianapolis may may spend a long day at the exposition, from early in the morning until the last cars for home at night, taking their meals on the grounds, and seeing the features of the day and evening for one price of admission. It has for years been a boast of Charles Downing, secretary of the Fair, that it was “a million dollar ahow for fifty cents," while the programs for rhe coming Fair indicate that an overflowing measure of value will be given in return for a visitor’s admission fee. “It has always been the purpose of the state Fair" said Mr. Downing, “to make the exposition not only larger but of better quality year after year, and there has been ’antetui expansion along these lines in the last eight or ten years Fx.
