World War Reviewed Sinre the last national conventions ol the two great parties a world war lis been fought, historic, unprecedent ed. For mnuy, many months, civiliza tion hung in the balance. In the despair of dark hours it seemed as though n world dictator was inevitable nnd that henceforth men nnd women who had lived In freedom would stand at atten tion, in the face of the drawn sword o( military autocracy. The very soul of America was touched ns never be fore with a fear that our liberties were to be taken uway. What America did, needs no reitera tion here. It is known of all men. History will ncclnim It poets will find It an ins-pirntion throughout the nucs. Ami yot there is not a line in the Re publican 'platform that breathes an wnotlon of pride, or recites our na tional achievement; in fnct If n man from Mars were to depend upon the Republican plntform or Its spoken in terpretation, by the cundldnte of that Party, as his first means of Informa tion, ho would not find a syllable telling Mm that the war had been won, nnd that America had saved the world. How ungenerous, how uugracious all of this hi how unfair that n mere group of I'aders should so demean themselves in the name of the party of Lincoln and McKinley nnd Roosevelt. Discourtesy to President Odious The discourtesy to tho President is an affair of political intrigue. History ill make it odious. As well might It be directed at n wounded soldier of the tinr.

DEMOCRATIC HOSTS GATHER IN DAYTON Dayton, O., Aug. ".-"-Democratic legions by thousands, representing tho party s lcadcrsiiip nnd rank nnd hie, Joined today in the ceremonv nrcsent- ing (jovcrnor tox as their presidential tlons wns from .Mariou, senator Hard candidate to tho Amerlcnu electorate, ing's home. The conductor's fare historic threads thnt tell the bravery I ot our soldiers or. every wnr. They make the first impressions of history upon tne minds ot our children nnd bind tho hearts of generations together. Never in all time will tho perform ance of our soldiers in the late war be surpassed. From farm, forest and fnc tory they gathered together In the train ing camps from countryside nnd city men whose hands were calloused by la bor, others whose shoulders showed the stoop of office task the blood of many nations flowing In their veins and tho same impulse ran from the front trench in Europe back to the first day in training. We must not forget that war breaks into the plans of young men, nnd their first chnrt of life is in n sense more important than any calculation Inter on. In college and shop in every calling, they were building the bnse for their careers. Thousands of them by the cir cumstance of Iniury or the disturbance of domestic conditions which wnr always brings were compelled to change their whole course of life. We owe a debt to those who died, nnd to those the honored dead left depend ent. We owe a debt to tho wounded ; but wc must realize that considerable compensation is due those also who lost much by tho break iu their material hopes nnd aspirations. The genius of the nation's mind and tho sympathy of Its heart must Inspire intensive thoughtful effort, to assist those who saved our all. I feel deeply that the rehabilitation of the disabled soldiers of the recent wnr is one of the most vital Issues be fore the people, and I, as a candidate pledge myself nnd my party to thoBC young Americans to do ull in my power to secure for them without unnecessary delay the immediato training which is so necessary to fit them to compete iu their struggle to overcome that physical handicap incurred while in the service of their government. i I believe also thnt the federal board of vocational rehabilitation ns fnr ns possible should employ disabled sol diers themselves to supervise the re habilitation of disabled soldiers, becnuse of their known sympathy and under standing. The bonrd Itself nn'd nil agencies under it should be burdened with the care of securing for the dis abled soldier who hns finished his train ing adequate employment. These men will Inspire future generations no less than they have themselves been inspired by tho heroes of the past. No greater forco for patriotic effort wns found when we were drawn Into the late conflict than tho cxnmnlo and activity of our veterans of previous wars. Under the colors they love, gathered the soldiers of the past, bring ing quickly to their support the new army of tho republic. Itcsponse in the southland by veterans who wore the gray inspired the youth with n zeal which nlded greatly in the quick mobili zatlou of our forces. The women of America, In emotion and constructive service, mensured up during the wnr to every requirement nnd emergency oxneted of them. Their initiative, their enthusiasm and their eustuined industry, which carried many of them to tho heavy burdens of toll, form an undying page in tho nnnnls of the time, while the touch of tho mother heart in camp nnd hospital gnvo n sacred color to tho trugic pic ture thnt feeble words should not even attempt to portrny. They demonstrat ed not only willingness but capacity. They helped win tho war and they are entitled to n voice in the read justment now nt hand. Their intuition, their sense of the humnnltnrinn In gov ernment their unquestioned progressive spirit will be helpful in problems thnt require public judgment. Therefore they are entitled to the privilege of voting ns n matter of right nnd becnuse they will be helpful in maintaining wholesome nnd pntrlotlc policy. It requires but onn more state to ratify the national nmendment and thus bring n long-dclaed justice. I have the same earnest hope as our platform expresses, that some one of tho remaining states will promptly take favorable action. "floveroment by Party" Analyzed Senator Hardinc's theorv of tho great office to which he aspires, putting a thoroughly fnlr Interpretation on his own words, Is thnt the government of this country, so far as it is embodied lit tho executive, should be what he Is pleased to call "government by party." as In contrast with the exercise by tho President of his own best final judg ment under tho responsibility ussumed by his solemn oath of office, taking iuto consideration the views of others, of course, in arrjving nt that final judg ment, but recognizing no group of nn.v kind not sworn as bo Is to tlio faithful WVBNINQ ttJBMO Alt states, territories and possessions wero represented in the day's program, whleh culminated In Governor Cox's address of acceptance stating the Democratic cause, Dayton gave itself over to this, Its first presidential notification. A half holiday wns In force for the ceremonies this Afternoon nt the Montgomery county fair grounds, nbout it mile from the center of the city, while Ohio and other states sent thousands more by special trnlns, automobiles and other conveyances. Knrly promise for fair weather was broken by gathering clouds nnd by 10 o'clock n light rain arrived, with local tliundorMiowcrs predicted for today and tomorrow. Tho vnln wns not heavy enough to send the street crowds to cover, but bobbing umbrellas soon ap peared over gaudy but delicate uniforms of the visiting delegations. The fair grounds early took on n circus appear ance and uumbeis of upectntors hustled to tho nmpbltheatrc early to secure hunt. The rnln ceased before noon, but threatening clouds kept up n fight with tho sun for front position In the sky. llnln-puddled streets played havoc with white shoes of the mnrching visitors, whoso bands serenaded at street corners nnd Governor Cox's newsnaner office. ns they marched from trains to their parade formation positions, Manv visitors motored to Trallscnd during tho morning nnd shook hands with the governor. Iln secured as milch rest ns possible before the luncheon, Mrs. Cox going to the train to meet Mr. nnd Mrs. Roosevelt and their dnughter. Like city buildings nnd homes, the fair grounds tossed decorations of flags, bunting nnd banners with gilt shields nnd evergreens. Lithographed pictures of Governor Cox by thousands were on display. At the fair grounds scats for nbout 4000 were provided In the ting -decked nmpbltheatrc and special, auxiliary grandstands. The speakers' rostrum, adjoining the race course, flanked with trees, ginnts In their ngc, wns the judge's stand today, almost concealed under snaths of red, white nnd blue. The brown dirt racetrack nnd oval inclosurc. to gether with grassy paddock plots at either end of tho amphitheatre, were set aside for the crowd. None was out of earshot of tho speakers, an electrical sound amplifying device having been installed to carry the Democratic bat tlecry beyond the farthest person in the grounds. Delegations Reviewed by Governor Marching delegations swept through the streets, with blaring bands, long be fore tho hour, 1 o'clock, set for the formal pnrndc to the fnlr grounds, for review by Governor Cox and the other party notables. One of tne largest ot tneso dciegu- performance of the particular duties in question unu not suujccc to lmpencii ment ns he is in enso of serious mal feasance in the performance of those .duties. The latter Is the conception of the presidency held uy Washington, John Adnms and Thomns Jeffersou in initiating our great experiment in po litical and personal freedom under the constitution. It Is the conception held by Lincoln nnd Roosevelt, by Cleveland and Wilson, and all other Presidents of the past to whom history has as signed n significant plncc ln normal growth of our freo institutions. It is the conception of tho presidency to which, in case of success of he Demo cratic party iu the coming election, my own best efforts shall bo dedicated, with n solemn sense of responsibility to the power nbovc, to the people of the United States ns a whole nnd to the sacred oath of allegiance to the constitution nnd the laws. There Is. and will always be, a use ful place for parties In the conduct of a free government; but any theory of a "government by party," which must weaken this solemn sense of personal responsibility, or alter its traditional direction and turn It toward party or faction, cnu only nccentunte tho possi ble evils of pnrty, nnd thwart its possi ble ndvnntnges. I nm sincerely grateful to the Democratic party tor the oppor tunities of miblic service which it has brought to me in the past, and for tho willingness which it has shown to ex tend those opportunities to n still great er field ; but I nm glad to say that it has always recognized that my official duties were to the people as a whole, and has ln no case attempted to Interfere, under pretext of party responsibility, with my right of personal judgment, under oath, In the performance of those duties. Kducational Improvement Necessary There must bo nn nwnkened interest in education. The assumption that things are all right is an error. There is moro or less of n general idea that because our school system generally is satisfactory, and In most instances ex cellent, that sufficient progress is being made. The plain fact reveals two star tling things one, n growing decimntion In tho ranks of teachers nnd the other, the existence of .",500,000 illiterates. It is true that 1,000,000 of theso are for eign born. The nrmy of Instructors has been more or less demoralized through financial temptation from other activi ties which pny much better. Wo owe too much to tho next genera tion to be remiss in this mntter. Verv satisfactory progress is being mnde In several states in the teaching of native born illiterates. Tho moonlight school in Kentucky has, In fact, becomo a his toric Institution. Tho prnctico bss sprend Into other commonwealths, nnd bands of noble men and women nre ren dering great service. There should be no encroachment by the federal gov ernment ou local control. It is the healthful, rensonable individualism of American national llfo that has enabled the citizens of this republic to think for themselves, and besides, state and community initiative would be impaired bv unythlng approaching dependence. The central government, however, can Inventory the possibilities of progressive education, nnd In helpful manner create nn enlarged public interest in this sub ject. Campaign Expenditures There will bo no attempt in this cam paign to compete by dollars with our opposition. So manv peoplo have bctu in the mouey-gutherlng business for tho reactionary cousc that mo millions ni rendv iu hnnd nre morn or less n mat ter of general information. All that wo ask is that both parties deal In tho ut iiuiit cood faith with the electornte nnd tell tho plain truth ns to the amounts received, tho contributors nnd the items of disbursements, iiic puuur judgment In elections should be tendered after tho fullest lienrini.' possible. Each side, hns the right properly to present its case. Ihls is n legi timate expense. There is no narrow di viding line between thi legitimate and illegitimate in political rnmpnigus.

How misguided some of our peoplo arc. Recognizing that readjustment must be mnde, they believe that they will fore better If the enst their for tunes with those with whom they dealt on tho base of campaign contributions in days gone by.

Prior to tho fair grounds ceremony the Governor1 nnd Mrs. Cox had us guests nt a noon buffet luncheon nt Trnllsend the members of the notifi cation nnd nntlonnl committees nnd other prominent lenders. Mr. Roose velt, his wife nnd daughters, nnd Chair man White, of the national committee, were among the governor's house guests i for tho notification period.

Immediately behind tho hcarlet coatel musicians from Piqua. O., were tho "Cox Boosters," Dayton's fighting delegation nt San Francisco. Theirs was the glory of leading in tho Cox campaign song of the convention "Ohio," which was the musical motif of tho day's entire festivities.

SUFFRAGE delnvs the ultimntc nroccss and wc should remember the lesson of history that one extreme usually leads to an other. Industrial Peace Desired We desire industrial peace. Wo wnnt our people to have nn abiding confidence In government, but no readjustment made under reactionary auspices will carry with It the confidence of the coun try. If I were asked to name In theso trying days tho first essential over shadowing every oth'er consideration, the response would be confidence In gov ernment. It would be nothing less than n calamity if the next administration were elected under corrupt auspices. There is unrest in the country ; our peoplo have passed through a trying ex perience. Tho European wnr beforo it engulfed us aroused every racial throb in a nation of composite citizenship. The conflict in which we participated carried anxieties into every community nnd thousands upon thousands of homes were touched by tragedy. The incon veniences incident to the wnr hove been disquieting; tho failure of the Republi can Congress to repeal annoying taxes has added to our troubles. Tho natural impulse is to forget the past, to develop new interests, to create a refreshened und refreshing atmosphere In life. Wc want to fonrct war nnd be free from tho troubling thought of us possibility in the future. Wo wnnt the dawn nnd the dews of vn new morn ing. We wnnt hnppiness in the land, tho feeling that tho square deal among men and between men and government is not to be Interfered with by a pur chased preference. We want a change from the old world of yesterday, where International intrigue made the people mere pawns on tho chessboard of war. Wc want a change from tho old indus trial world where the man who toiled was assured "a full dinner pall" as his only lot and portion. At Parting of tho Ways But how are we to make the changel Which way shall we go? We stand nt tho forks of the rood nnd must choose which to follow. One lends to a higher citizenship, n freer expression of the individual nnd a fuller life for nil. The other leads to reaction, tho rule of the few over the many nnd tho restriction of the averngc man's chances to grow upward. Cunning devices bncked by un limited prodigal expenditures will be used to confuse nnd to lure. I have nn abiding faith that the pit falls will be avoided and the right road chosen. The lenders opposed to Democ racy promise to put the country "back to normal." This can only mean the so-called normal of former reactionary administrations, the outstanding feature of which was n pittance for farm pro duce and n small wage for a long day of labor. My vision does not turn backward to tho "normal" desired by tho senatorial oligarchy, but to a futuro In which nil shnll bavo a normal opportunity to cultlvato n higher staturo amidst bet ter environment than that of tho past. Our view is toward the sunrise of to morrow with its progress nnd its eternal promise of better things. Tho opposi tion stnnds in the skyline of the setting sun, looking backward, to tho old days of reaction. I accept tho nomination of our party, obodient to the Dtvino Sovereign of all F copies, nnd hopeful that by trust In Ilm tho way will bo shown for helpful service.

Mr. Hewlett hns the same wnrmly glowing style, the snme capacity to tell n story by action rather thnn clogging or cloy ing description, in this new story, nnd it Is also rich In characterizations which seem to create bcllevably the traits and manners of men long ago gone. Dolf Wvllnrdo. the Australian nove list, hns written In "Temperament" what Is labeled "a realistic romance." That is. the people nnd the posture of events are literal transcripts from rou- tino lire, but the spirit animating this nnrrntlve of their ways nnd their com plexities Is romantic In cast and color. The heroine herself Is of n romantle temperament, nnd she builds up n ro mantic legend about a scion of the no bility, who is a man of fashion. Hci own career leads her to musical suc cess. Tho story of their love, nnd Its problems, is handled dramatically, sometimes n bit overemotionaliy, but always cngrossingly. James B. Connolly is always at home on the sea, and his stories of ships nnd sailormen arc a joy to those who love action nnd adventure and hazards on the ocean wave. The nnrrntor in bis new volume, "Hiker Joy," is the young Gotham gamin of the sama name, nnd old .Hill Urcen, the sensoned salt, is a conspicuous figure In the severnl yarns. They are written in nn ensy-golng dia lect, thnt hns many quaint turns and an individual chnrm. Spies, conspirn tors, undersea snilors, marine myste ries, fights, secret service these are only a few oi tho enthralling ingredi ents of tho stories which have such nlluring titles as "Tho Flying Sailor," "Secret Service Stuff," "The Fiery Sea" nnd "The Mystery Ship." And above nil, Mr. Connolly is adept iu his knowledge both of ships nnd tho psy chology of the men who man them. "Poor Relations" is a different kind of book for Compton Mackenzie. It is a sheer comedy with a touch of the farcical, instead of a realistic novel of a story with a purpose, such as many of his other books have been. Tho hero is n budding playwright, who has had n big success. The story tells of his trials and tribulations and troubles from the horde of friends nnd relatives who throng about to share in his prosperity as a lucrative literary producer. Lee Thayer, whose "The Thirteenth Floor" was one of the most baffling of mystery stories of recent years, has followed suit with another I hat is so cannily and craftily dexeir.- ns to keep tho practiced rerdet ig till the author's revelation finale. She calls it "The Unl- Door." and it relates the predka . . of the hero, who, after a convivial party, stumbles into a mystery by accidentally coinc un the wrong stoop and finding the door unlatched. What be saw there acts as a corrective even more effec tually than would a douche of cold water. But it must not bo told here, nor the clever denouement. Suffice it to say, as might havo been burmised from the foregoing word "stoop," that it is a story of Npw York life of the present time nnd thnt Its perplexities nre vnried with n pleasingly sentimental love story. The author writes fiction as a recreation from her regular occu pation, which is that of nrt director for nn old-established ' firm of illustrators and designers. "Tho Inscrutable Lovers" is a story in contrasting national types and dis positions. Tho heroine is nn Irish girl and the hero the son of n Scotchman. The ono is tho daughter of n patriotic idcnlist nud tho other the offspring of n hnrd-hcaded business man. Alexander MncFnrlan, tho author, whose second book this Is, makes the twniu of lo'crs directly opposed to what might be con sidered their logical temperamental traits from their heredity and envi ronment. He has carried out his con trnsts whimsically ami with singular good humor and n nlco senso of gentle satire. THE UNLATCHED DOOR. By Leo Thayer. Npw York: Century Co. TItn INBCIIUT ABI LOVERS.

This time a woman is drawn into tho sit uation, which hns a tragic climax for the young bounder and brings our hero to a knowledge of life's reullties which ho sudly needed. There is a very thrilling picture on tho cover of the book. This Is about the only thrill the novel provides. THE YOUNO THYSICIAN. By Francis Brett Young. Now York: E. P. Dutton & Co The Book of Susan By LEE WILSON DODD The Boston Post says: "So unusual, so distinctive, that it will hold a high place in the American fiction of the year." Prof. William Lyon Phelps says: "A remarkable American novel. It is full of recognition and full of surprise, steadily interesting, the main character original, and the whole narrative full of charm." The Ncio York Tribune says: "The meat of the novel is in its analysis of characters, its restless questing for motives that move, charm and elate the individuals of the little group that constitute its focus of thought and action." The New York Times says: "There is nothing commonplace about THE BOOK OF SUSAN. Mr. Dodd writes in a fresh, entertaining style and has shaped his material with no little skill. The New York Evening Post says in an extended front-page re view in its Book Section: "She is the American young woman at her modern best, in the sense that she blends the innate virtues of our highest class with our lowest into a personal culture which is genuine, creative, and, above all, classless." Now being read and discussed by the inner circle of literatnrcr8: and toe confidently predict for it the widest vogue among all novels published this summer. SS.00 at All Bookstores or direct from E.
