COOLING AS ‘EASY. AS HEATING.

Des Meoines, la.—The lowa state Re: publican convention adjourned Wednesday afier a bitter comroversyibetween the progressive and stalwart factions. Candidates for supreme justice and superintendent of public instruction were nominated and a platform was adopted. Senator Cummins was the temporary chairthian and Senator Dolliver the permanent presiding officer. "ISoth were cheered and hissed during their addresses. : 7 - The resolutions as adopted dismiss consideration of the president with the clause, “We indorse such efforts as -President Taft and hls advisers have made to fulfill the promises of the national platform.” . . They reaffirm their loyalty to the platform of 1908 but do not recognize the revision of 1909 as a satisfactory fulfillment of the party promise’ and, therefore favor the creation of an inuependent non-partisan tariff committee to secure facts regarding imports and urge revision of schedules separately. They ecommend Senators Dol Hver and Cummins for “their - work upon the tariff blll', the raiiroad bill and the postal savings biil.”" They commend the action of the house in revising the rules. They indorse the anti-trust law and recommend it be given additional strength to meet the devices ~of modern * industry.. They favor the fixing of a physical valuation on' railroads in order to secure effective control of rates and a complete system of accounting. They favor amendments -to the postal sav-irgs-law to keep the money deposited with the government within the communities where deposited. ' They favor, conservation of mnatural resources, They indorse the primary law. They promise there would be no backward steps along prohibition lines in lowa. They demand election of United States senators by direct vote of the people. They insist on a readjustment o:! the representation of Republicans in national convention. They favor an inconie tax, and favor co’operation of the naticnal government in enlarging the usefulness of the system of public education. . Under the primary law, the nominations for state officers were made at the primaries in June. excepting for supreme judges-and superintendent of public instruction, in the latter office there - not being a_ majority' vote. Judge Evans of Fort Dodge and Judge H. M. Deemer of Refl Oak were renominated .for the supreme bench. A, M. Devee of Garner. was nominated for the offiee of superintendent of public instruction. - ) The new state committee is composed of six Insurgents and five stalwarts, and C, F. Franke of . Parkersburg will be continued state chairman. Senator Cumimins, as .temporary chairman, threw the convention into disorder when he named the party of “Lincoln, of Grant, of Roosevelt,” ‘ignoring President Taft. - former Congressman l.acey, a stand-patter, walked into the center aisle’ ‘erying,. *Taft, Taft Taft,” in which he was joined by _his fellow stalwarts. Roosevelt’s name = was cheered. Cummins ignored Lacey’s cry, but it was some time before he could resume. ; Senator Cummins was ver¥ emphatfc in his declaration that the tariff Bill as it ‘stood needed considerable revision to make it right. He also warned the ‘country against going too fast on the central bank idea, and said that wealth was demanding too much ‘toll already. . Senator Cummins was cheered repeatedly by the progressives, the stalwarts geunerally remaining silent unless to interrupt Jim. He referred to “hopeless and retreating reaction‘aries,” and declared that the Republican party must speedily become all progressive, or _all standpatters. He declared it would be easier to make the Republican party all progressive than secure proper legislation from a Democratic administration. He sverred that Payne, Aldrich, Dalzell and other so-called regulars are no more in favor of the principle of protection than are the progressives. When the Insurgents: presented the name of Jonathan P. Dolliver for permanent chairman, the stalwarts offered opposition in J. C. Mabry of Albia. Dolliver was named by a vote of 834 to 549. Im accepting his position he said: “I have but one ambition left—to keép myself on the firing-line ‘for public rights against private interests. - And so my sympathies are with the man 4vho seems to have suffered ‘at the hands of the roll call” Here Dolliver was hissed. ‘

Brilliant Climax of Templars’ Conclave in Chicago. | " . TRIENNIAL A- BIG SUCCESS. Acting Grand Master Melish In Command and Noted Masons From - . Different Parts of the- - Present. Chicago.—Fifty thousand Knights Templar, garbed {n the handsome uniform of the order, wearing {its glittering jewels and carrying drawn swords, marched through elaborately decorated streets of Chicago Tuesday, Aug. 9, passing beneath great arches and before a reviewing stand- four blocks long, crowded with the leading officials of the order and the wives and families of the sir knights. Forty-two brass bands made music for ~the marchers, and all along the route they were cheered by the thousands of people who had assembled to witness the spectacle. ’ This magnificent parade was the climax, in a spectacular way, of the thirty-first triennial conclave of Knights Temiplar, which opened here on Sunday, Aug. 7. . In accordance with the time honored custom of the grand encampment, ‘the doings. of the week began \\'ig,lw divine service. The sir knights selected Orchestra hall for this purpose and entirely filled the body of that hall to listen to a germon on “Templarism™ delivered by \ )

Rev. Dr. George H. Mac Adam of Madison, Wis,, in the absence of Sir Knight George C. Rafter of Cheyenne, Wyo., very eminent grand . prelate of the grand encampment. The music was in charge of the grand organist of the grand commandery of Illinois, the choir consisting of several male quartets belonging to the order in this state. o Monday was devoted mainly to the receiving of the grand and subordinate commanderies and escorting them to their hotels. ‘ Parade of The Knights. The “grand parade” of Tuesday was the largest parade of Knights Templar ever held. The preparations were elaborate and Michigan boulevard was most elaborately decorated. 'The sir knights formed in line of march: on the boulevard south of Thirty-first street, and signal to move was given by the guns- of Battery B, I. N. G., the detachment for the purpose being composed of Knights Templar all of whom are members of the battery. The same detachment fired the salute to the grand master. i Marching northward in Michigan boulevard, the parade passed, near Hubbard court, beneath an entrance arch built in the form of an ancient battlement with its towers and turrets. This was intended to represent the entrance to the city, and as- the column passed under it, buglers stationed on its heights heralded the approach of each grand division, Next the knights came abreast of

THE OIL OF ENCOURAGEMENT SBome Advice Concerning the Virtue of Freely Awarding Praise Where it Is Due. - Don’t be afraid to praise people, Charles Battell Loomis writes in Smith’s magazine. It is all very well to say that it hurts a boy or a man or a woman to praise; there may be those who do their best work without encouragement, but let us remember that nearly all of us who live on this earth are human being, and human -beings work best when encouraged. It is a great mistake not to tell people when you are satisfied with them. If the cook sets before you a dinner fit for a king tell her so. Don’t be too lofty to praise the office boy if his work is commendable. Tell him so. . It is harder for some people to give praise than it is for them to give money. 'Many a generous man is ‘a very niggard of praise. /Do you like to be praised yourself? Then depend upon it the other fellow wiil like it.

the first grand stand, one-half mile In length, and this needed no decorations, for it was filled to it§ capacity mainly with ladies whose § beautiful summer costumes made ‘it like a vast garden. About 50,000 persons were in this immense stand, as. at its center was a gorgeous throne on which sat the acting grand master, Wildam Bromwell Melish of Cincinnati, who became head of the order on the recent death of Grand Master Henry W. Rugg of Providence, R. 1. -Mr. Melish will be regularly elected grand master before the close of the conclave. Just north of the Art Institute the parade passed before another reviewing stand in which were Mayor Busse, the city council:and the park commis‘sioners. . ‘ : Beautiful “Templar Way.” ‘At Washington street the marchers turned west to State, where they entered on the “Templar Way.” . This stretch extended from Randolph to Van Buren street and was made beautiful by a handsome arch and massive Corinthian columns ~of pure white erected thirty-three feet apart on both sides of the street. Festoons of natural laurel connected the cclumns, and the bright red cross and the shield and coat'of arms of the order were prominent in . the scheme of decoration, g . Moving south to Jackson bonlevard, the knights again turned west, and near the federal building passed be. fore yet another reviewing stand which accommodated- Governor Deneen and his staff. Marching north on La Salle street, the parade: passed be neath the grand commandery arch of pure white which spanned the street at the LLa Salle hotel, the headquarters of the grand commandery of Illinois. Entrancing Scenes at Night, The scene in the streets at night was especially beautiful, for all the arches, festoons and columns of the decorative schemie were brilliantly il

luminated, and on State street, in addition to the “Templar Way,” the merchants haq put up decorations that transformed the great shopping = district into a veritable fairy land. Undoubtedly the most spectacular feature of the night display was the wonderful electric set piece erected in ‘Gran_t park on the iake front, reproducing in colossal size the official emblem or badge of the conclave. [t was 150 feet high and its 5,000 powerful electric lights of gvaried colors brilliantly illuminated gll that part of the city. .

Much of the success of the conclave must be attributed to the efforts of John D. Cleveland, grand commander of Illinois and president of the triennial executive committee. Arthur MacArthur of Troy, N. Y., is the very emfent grand generalissimo of the grand encampment and W. Frank Pierce of San Francisco the grand captain general. Among the most noted of the visiting musons from other lands are: The Right Hon. the Earl of Euston, pro grand master of the great. priory of England and Wales; the Lord Athlumney, past great constable; Thomas Fraser, great marshal; 'R. Newton Crane, past great herald; F. C. Van Duzer, past great standard bearer: H. J. Homer, acting grand master banner bearer; John Fergueson, past preceptor of England and Wales, and the Right Hon. Luther B. Archibald, most eminent grand master of the great priory. of Canada, and official staff.

Pour the oil of encouragement on the wheels of progress and watch ’em whirl. I'm not advocating soft soap or flattery or gush. No one likes to be gushed at and any fool can tell flattery from the real thing. But when a man has made a hit with you tell him so. He may die before you get another chance or you may die yourself. : . It takes quality to appreciate quality, so when you praise a thing you are really offering a compliment to yourself. Doesn’t that appeal to you? Will nothing move you? Will yoy let all the good things in life pass you by, and you as mum 23 a dead owl? Wdke up, man. Watch out for a chance to praise some one, admit to your own self that you like what he has done, and then— Tell him so! He'll Kick Anyway. . “This egg has a girl’'s name written on it, sir.” “That won’t keep me from Kicking, waiter, if the egg isn’'t strictly fresh.” :

BLIND SENATOR INVOLVES VICEPRESIDENT IN [INDIAN BRIBE SCANDAL. | CITES CHARGE OF ANOTHER Jacob Hammon Offered $25,000, Then . $50,000, Is Testimony Given by : Senator at Muskogee ) (Okla.) Inquiry. Muskogee, Okla.—Jacob Hammon, former national Republican committeeman from Oklahoma, was named by Senator Thomas P. Gore as the man *who, on. May €, this year, offered a bribe of §25.000 in Washington in connection with legislation affecting the $30,000,000 Indian land deal that is now being investigated by a special ‘committee from the house of representatives. . - Senator Gore also declared that Hammon told him Vice-President Sherman, Senator Charlest Curtis of Kansas and Representative Bird McGuire of Oklahoma were interested ¥ the deal. Sherman was named as the “man higher up.” ' The committee began its investigations here Thursday with the hearing of Senator Gore. . Inquiry is to be made into what are known as the MecMurray contracts with the Choctaw and Chickasaw Indians, involving the sale of tribal property that contained rich mineral deposits. Senator Gore told the committee that when he frowned on the bribery offer, Hammon sald the amcunt might be raised to $50.000. i “Hammon also told me that Senator Charles Curtis of Kansas and Congressman B. S. McGuire of Oklahoma were interested in the MeMurray contracts,” ‘testified Senator Gore. “‘And while T am about it T might as well tell that he said an official higher up in the government was also interested {in the deal” ) Vice-President Sherman then was named by Senator Gore as -the man “higher up” quoted in connection wirh ‘the McMurray contracts. “When he named persons higher up,” continued Senator Gore, “I hald up my hands in astonishment = und sald, ‘ls it possible that a person so high in the United States governnent could lay himself open to such an imputation?’ . “‘Well" replied Hammon, ‘this is lots of moner, vou see.'” What is considered the most valuable testimony to Gore, was that of Congressmian Creagor of the Third Oklahoma distriet. Creagor said he had been approached on various occasions and urged to support the MeMurray contracts. Senator, Curtig wired the commit. tee that the use of his name. in connection with the investigation was unauthorized and he wanted to give testimopy. He was wired by Chairman Burke te come to Muskogee. . ‘Ttica, N, Y.—Vice-President James S. Sherman nailed as false the imrplied charge made by United States Senator Gore before the congressional committee at Muskogee, Okla., that Sherman was the man "Hzl%y(\m" in the so-called McMurray Indian contracts bribery matter.

This s set forth with peculiar power by Isalah (ch. §). He compares the nation of Israel to a vinevard planted by God, “the well _beloved,” who had loved them with everlasting ‘love. He did. everything possible for them, , that they might bring forth the best frufts —obedience, sincers worship, - righteous living, fthe beauty ‘of hollness, love, joy, peace and all the fruits of the Spirit, Intelligence, noble character and miséinnar}' -ork among the nations.

He planted in this vinevard the vines of his promtse. his word, his commandments, institutions of religlon, instruction in holy things. Ile placed there the \\‘inyi{ro;;,_ which represents the various advantages conferred on the pedple to help them to bring forth good frult and present it to the Lord.

In 1 Cor. 3:9, Paultells the Chiistians at Corinth that “ve are God's husbandry,” which old-fash-foned word seems to have litfle meaning to us. The Revised Version helps us to see {ts meaning. “Ye are God’s. tilled land.” The twentieth century New Testament calls it “God’s har-? vestfield.” It is a farm, an orchard, a garden in its larger meaning. Thete, too, God wants laborers each in his own. garden, to make 1t yield - all graces, all virtues; all Deatitudes, the Ten Commandments, the Fruits of the Spirit. You-are to he part of the church as described in Acts 2: and of the redeemed earfh, and of leaven, pietured to us in the fast chapters of Revelation. i - ; The Laborers are all those.who are helping to do God's work on earth, who for.’him and -with him are laboring to make the world what it ought to be, full of all the fruits of the spirit, transformed into the ‘kKingdom of God.! There is no such privilege in the world as to ba laborers with God. ‘ 3-7. “He went out about the third gixth . . . ninth .. .| eleventh hour.” . Several times the householder went -after -laborers, for | there was more work to be done than the first ones called could do. ““Why stand ve here all day idl#?” They answered that “no man hath hired us.” “No man would stand all day in the marketplace idle, unless because he wanted work and conk not get it."'— Exp. Gk. Test. . . “Call the laborers, and give them ‘their hire.” They received each one a penny, whether they had worked one hour or twelve. BV “The first . . . cupposed that they should. receive more.” since they »ad “borne the burden and heat of thr day,” the scorching heat. Having done more they felt that they ought to have larger pay; and they complained to ‘the steward of their unfair treatment. Their very complaint showed . that they were not truly the first and best. The Last First and the First Last.— | V.. 16. This saying with varfations was repeated several times by Jesus, - “so tLe last shall be first, and the first last.” - . ' : “Those are reallv first in God's sight | In whom the desire to be first has | been overmastered by the spirit ot§ love.” , o

This 1s true of nations, as the Jewish nation were first in time, first in | opportunity, but they did not" make use of their advantages; and Christianity | which was last has become the first. - | The Call for Laborers. . There are i two ways of Increasing the number | of laborers. One is by adding to their | number; the other is by increasing . the power and value of each one. | There is a call for workers in the ; fields white to the harvest in every community, in every Sunday school, in | every church, If people realized thel value of “the penwmy a day” God gives, | the bhlessing of personal -work for‘ Christ in every department, but espe- ! cially In work among the children, they would beg for -the ' opportunity. ! What Doctor Payson said of preachers | is applicable to all; that if ministers-i realized the -blessing and the oppor- { tunity God had conferred upon them, they would leap and shout for joy: i “I am a minister of Christ; [am a winister of Christ.” ) ) During the late war In Ashantee the chief officer of the Scotch Guards, | when reviewing this spiendid régi-:l ment, asked who among them would ‘ volunteer for the Ashantee expedition: { When he looked again he saw-the regi- ; ment precisely as he had seen it before. =']l in unbroken line. ‘What?’ said ! ~aid he: the Scotch Guards, and no | vohinteers?” Another officer replied: i They hawe all stepped forward and l volunteered.” Consider what it would | mean if every member of our greiti church should in this coming year take but one step forward!”—Over l J.and and Sea.

ANNUAL -LOSS IS ENORMOUS Two Hundred Million Dollars a Year -Might Be Added to Wealth ) of Country. ' Computing that there are in the United Srates at least 200,000 indigent consumptives who sliouid be cared for in charitable or semi-charitable sanatoria and hospitals, the National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculesis estimates that the annual cost to the countsw for the treatment of these persons would be $50,000,000 at the rate of $1669 per’ day per patient. At the lowest possible estimate the country loses $200,000,000 a vear from: the incapacity of these indigent victims of tuberculosis. This would mean a net saving of $150,000,000 a year to the United States if all victims of consumption who are too poor to affdrd proper treatment in expensive sanatoria were cared for at the expense of the munioipaiity, c"mmt}' or state. And this annual gain does not include the enormous saving that would accrue from the lessened infection due to the segregaticn { the dangerous conzumptives in institutions. SCRATCHED SO SHE COULD NOT -SLEEP . “I write to tell you Kow thankful I am for the wonderful Cuticura Remedies. My little niece had eczema for five vears and when her mother died I took care of the chifd. It was all over her face and body, also on her head. .She scratched so that she could not sleep nights. I used Cuticura Scap to wash her with and then applied Cuticura Olntment. - I did not use quite half the Cuticura Socap and Ointment, together with Cuticura Resolvent, when you could see a change and they cured her nicely. Now she Is eleven years old and has never been bothered with eczema since, My friends thak it is just great the way the baby was cured by Cuticura. . I send you a picture taken when she was about 18 mionths old. ) “She was taken with the eczema when two yearsold. -She was covered with big ‘sores and her mother had all the best doctors and tried all kinds of salves and medicines without effect until we used -Cuticura Remedies.
