Davis, accepting the democratic nomination for president of the United States, made a great speech, not only as speeches are judged, but because of the things he espoused. He did not sidetrack a single thing, but on the other hand stood out fearlessly and ably for the things he is for and against the things he thinks are fundamentally wrong. He is a real man, virile, capable, outstanding, a fighter for the rights of the people and tne maintenance of an independent form of government. The nation needs John Davis just now and he will grow as he convinces the voters of his posit'cn on tl.e questions which should be of greatest interest to all of us. In his acceptance he p’edged mmself to a program which includes. Further reduction of taxes with revision and reform of the revenue laws. Wiping out the discrimitory provisions of the tariff law. Support of the budget law. Genuine aid to the farmers Aid to the disabled veterain. Conservation of ALL natural resources. Prevention of child labor. Suppression of illicit traffic In soulJestroyimr drugs. A voice of labor on all governmental matters effecting them. Entrance into the world court. Co-operation with foreign nations. the people to decide when we are ready to enter a league of nations. These arc only the highlights of the speech ami every voter should read carefully the splendid address. Mr. Davis will discuss other questions ‘ from time to time during the campaign. He is for you and for this country. He is sanely progressive and wisely conservative. He is quail fled, educated and tried and the great democratic party can well feel proud of his leadership. The uniform method of decorating, advocated by the American Legun,, looks like a winner. It Is plain and simple, economical and meets every requirement, looks attractive and is easily taken care of. A holder Is placed in the sidewalk, six or eight inches from the curb, a uniform flag staff and flag is furnished and when you decorate, all you have to do is to take the flag out and insert it | The committee is meeting splendid success here as they have everywhere and those who have seen the flags in use in other cities say the plan is a 1 very excellent one which will become I universal au over the aountry. 1 John W. Davis was notified last night that he is the chosen leader of < the democratic part .. lu U(J t States and in words, clear cat , £lm I and understandable, accepted the call. ' His speech leaves no doubt as to his 1 position on the great problems of today or on the mighty questions of importance to every citizen of the country. He is a safe and sane candidate whom every democrat, can follow proudly and with the knowledge that he will lead them into no by-ways of danger. When the people know h.m they will like him and when he

Face to Face With Lady Gladstone Granddaughter of the Grand Old Man of England (By Joe Mitchell Chapple) Walking up the banks of the river Dee, I made a pilgrimage to Hawardien Castle in England to see William E. Gladstone in the last days of his career. A picture of the Grand Old Man of England in his library with his white hair flowing in the breeze, his hawk like nose, flashing eyes and mellifluous voice which rang out in Parliament for over half a century, was recalled in meeting I,ady Gladstone. his granddaughter, in New York during the Young Women's Christian Association Convention. When she arose to address the great audience of American women there was a thought of how women have come- to take so much more prominent a part in world affairs since the days of Gladstone. Lady Gladstone was queenly in her womanliness and spoke in a voice with the earnestness of a great com moner. Gowned in simple black, adorned by a string of pearls, she made her plea for the girls. As a representative of the Young Wottien's Christian Association of England she talked for the womanhood of the world. In the audience were Christian women from the old world and the new. the Far East and the Near, the distant North and the far away South on to the Orient of the west, to strengthen each other and to serve womanhood through the Young Women's Christian Association, the largest women's organization in the world. Through years of experience, expert assistance, an inheritance to over a million members of girls scattered in forty-six countries. "At the meeting in New York the scope of the Young Women’s Christian Association was broadened, so that its membership makes it now a most comprehensive international and all-inclusive institution for women's work. Creeds are set aside for the one ideal of a universal fellowship among women. Even in conversation with guests Lady Gladstone insisted upon talking about the Young Women’s Christian Association work. “We women are beginning to un derstand each other. Heretofore* we have been taught to understand man

This county should provide an af-ter-harvest celebration of some kind as is done in nearly every county. , Tlie summer has been an execeedingly hard one for the average farmer and he has but little if any chance to attend the fairs and other events. It can be made a great thing for the community if enough interest is manifested anil it should be. t I Decatur will extend a real welcome to the visiting Rotarians here tomorrow. They are a fine lot of people,

, men who help do things in their re- , spective communities and we will I show them that Decatur also does things right when we do them. We are sure the program will be delightful and the meeting a big success. Say "howdy”’ whether you belong or not. The notification of Mr. Davis last | evening was done by one of the greatest men in American today. Senator Thomas Walsh, of Montana. He is so popular that efforts are being made by republicans of his state to prevent the nomination of a candidate against him. Now if some one would tip off Mr. Coolidge and Mr. IjaFollette much of the worry that the candidates might not hear of their nominations, would • disappear and business could go right, on. o ** + *'»** + + ** + + * ♦ twenty years ago today ♦ ♦ * From the Dally Democrat filet ♦ 40 years ago this day * August 12.-N~ eiinion Qf 160th. regiment will be held at Lafayette.

"There were few I young women who attended the meet- . ing this afternoon of our workers. who could not handle a typewriter i anil earn her own living. They know ■ how to speak and write and could • cook a meal and take care of a home. The mere physical process of house- ■ keeping is not paramount to the real , spiritual ideal in home making. The i home is where you feel the incense ■ of amity, the close kinship of the family. When this is more fully devclop- ■ ed there will be less difficulty in bringing nations together with the i understanding of what it means to cultivate friendliness as arduously, I vigorously, skillfully and intensely as ; we have the arts of war and com- • merce in the past.” i The omnipotent American camera man and irrepressible interviewer did I not disturb the poise of Lady Giad- ; stone. i "We must adjust ourselves to whatever is essential to further the good cause,” she said smilingly, catching : up the long tresses of her wavy hair i before the camera clicked.
