TO LAY THE CORNER STONE TOMORROW:— The corner stone of the beautiful new St. Joseph grade and high school building In this city, will be laid with appropriate ceremonies Sunday afternoon and around that stone will be constructed one of the most modern and convenient school buildings In the state. The school, paid for and maintained by the members of the Catholic congregation, will nerve a twofold purpose. In that it will offer la-tter advantages and faclltles for teaching and educating the youths and In providing a place fnr the pupils and others to play and enjoy their athletic events under favorable conditions. The largo auditorium will provide a place for social gatherings and entertainments, not only for the mem hers of the congregation, but for the public as well. The modern school of today, must not only contain class and study rooms, but a gymnasium and auditorium and the new St. Joseph school will have these accomodations. Teaching of the youth advanced in recent years ami one oAhe first requisites or fundamental principles In education is to provide better surroundings for them and In the new St. Joseph school, erected “to God and Country.” the children not only of the present, but of the future will find these requirements. Beginning with a little frame schisd house, then the building on Madison dreet tollowud by additions and culim.Lng in the erection of the beautiful new two-story building of today, is pvldence that the school has enjoyed a steady and progressive growth. Rev. J A. Helmets, pastor, and tils parish I loners are to be congratulated In their] efforts to provide for the children! the best advantages possible and the] Daily Democrat joins those in extend I Ing congratulations to them in bring Ing about the realization of a modern school building.

SEN. RALSTON S WITHDRAWAL:— Hruptor Ha mud M. llulMon a In atructlona that hht name be withdrawn from the balloting in the democratic national convention was no gMtttre. It waa preclaely what he caHbd It—an effort to do what he might to enable the convention to get ahead with th* task for which ft waa eaeembled. Senator Italaton never had been a candidate tor the nomination. He bad boalllwly retailed to put himself at »y Ucm in *u<n an attitude and firm-; •v interdicted every purpose of bin ' triends to put him in such an attitude, ago. when Mt num. was freediscussed throughout the country na i being that cd a man whnae avaliabilltv , *“ greet .nd whom, nomination ! would be aatistnrtery Henstm Rai. ton deprecated every .ttenpt to force him out inot the tunning f It la not to be doubted that had the! bitter content between the tw„ Ing randld.itea tn the convention yielded to persuasion and taken themsetven out of the way the delegates would have been brought to unite upon Hen •t«»r Ralston ar the rundldate who would bring most tn th. party la harmony and strength and public conS clrnce.

What he now has done is what it would lie well had others also done. The situation days ago required that for the good of the national democracy there lie yielding of ambition and composure of differences. Senator 1 Ralston at no time had stood in the character of an aggressive candidate and unyielding contender. Indiana was offering him to the party if the party believed that, better than any other, he could serve.- Fort Wayne Journal-Gazette. MaaaarMaaaMwaw—•» Henry Clews and Company. NewYork hankers, In their weekly financial report tenches on the business situation as follows: “Increasing demand for steel, both for railway equipment purposes, building and oil well have been noted during the week. It Is expected that the unfilled orders of United States Steel will show a somewhat further decline next week, when the usual monthly announcement Is made, yet there is a very well sustained short term order business. Better purchasing of cotton goods has been reported from several of the centers, oil production has been still further curtailed and there Is apparently no further Inc lination to cut prices. Further examination of the government’s suit against the oil companies interested in processes for, the “cracking” of gasoline has led tothe conclusion that little Is to be fear-; ed In that quarter. Automobile sales are distinctly heavier. The reports of extensive price concessions in many quarters appear to have no basis. Fig ures for industrial employment in the I state of New York, which have been cited to show decline in the volume of employment, relate to conditions during May. such returns being al t ways a,month in arrears. As a mat-;, ter of fact, the state of things has not ;, altered for the worse during the past month. Very general expressions of|i optimism with regard to business; prospects for the late summer and early autumn have been used by a good many careful observers.” There is no use telling the readers that the democratic convention is] still in the grip of a deadlock. The delegates arc riveted in their stand and on the seventy-first ballot this , morning the change in the voting did! not show any material change from the total of last evening. McAdoo still holds the bulk of the vote, with; Smith clinging to more than 3fH) and, it appears that the fight will be wag cd along the same lines throughout I the day. — Stop your car at the Five Points corner on Winchester street.

Bob LaFollette will head the Progressive Independent ticket and will be nominated on the first ballot nt the convention of the party being held in Cleveland. But anything worth having is worth fighting for and when the nomination Is handed to you, tho honor does not seem as important. Tho delegates no doubt know the song, “On the Streets of New York," by heart, but the sweetpst music to their oars would be "Home-. Sweet Home.” Pat Harrison was right, "this is no cold storage convention,” from his keynote speech delivered at the opening of the democratic convention in New York. * There i H no use arguing against the assertion that the democratic presi-l dential nomination is worth fighting , for. McAdoo -and Al Smth have proven that It Is. FORMER LOCAL RESIDENTS DIE (Continued from Page one) night at six o'clock after an illn- S lof nearly two years.
