WHERE THE PARTY STANDS
When the Democratic national convention, five minutes after it
was called to order yesterday at San Francisco, went into a 30-min
ute demonstration for President Wilson when his portrait was un
veiled, and some of the delegations did not join in the procession
about the hall, there might have been some doubt about the senti
ment of the convention as a whoIe—MIGHT have been. But when,
just before adjournment the convention unanimously voted to send
a long message of congratulation and praise to President Wilson, rec
ognizing him as the great leader of the party, there was no longer
any doubt. Here is a copy of the telegram Chairman Cummings last
night wired tp the President:
“In recognition of the fact that the mantle of Jackson and Jeffer
son has fallen on your shoulders as the unquestioned leader of our
party, the hosts of Democracy in national convention assembled, have'
directed me to send you the following resolution of appreciation and
greeting:
“ ‘The Democratic party, assembled in national convention ex
tends to the President of the United States its admiring and respectful
greetings.
“ ‘For seven of the most fateful years in the history of our coun
try, Woodrow Wilson has occupied, and by his character, learning and
power, has adorned the highest office in the gift of his countrymen.
“ ‘He has initiated and secured the adoption of great progressive
measures of immeasurable value and benefit to the people of the United
States.
“ ‘As commander-in-chief of the Army and Navy of the United
States he has led the patriotic forces of the country through the most
momentous struggle in history, and without check, reserve or retarda
tion, to an honorable part in the immortal victory for liberty and dem
ocracy, won by the free nations of the world.
“ ‘We hail these achievements, sir, and are proud that they have
been accpmplished under your administration.
“ ‘We rejoice in the recovery of your health and strength after
months of suffering and affliction which you have borne with courage
and without complaint.
“ ‘We deeply resent the malignant onset which you have most un
deservedly been called upon to sustain from partisan foes, whose judg
ment is warped and whose perceptions are obscured by a party malice
which constitutes a lamentable and disgraceful page in our history.
“ ‘At this moment, when the delegates to this convention from
every State in the Union are about to enter upon their formal pro
ceedings, we pause to send an expression of cheer and admiration and
of congratulation.
“ ‘We rejoice and felicitate you upon your speedy recovery from
your recent illness and congratulate America that though temporarily
broken in body that you have been able, with unclouded vision and un
daunted courage to press on for the great reforms which you have fa
thered for the preservation of peace throughout the world in the interest
of humanity and the advancement of civilization. Long may you live
to serve America and the world’.”
PURSUING DOLLARS
George W. Perkins, the financier, died "of complete nervous
exhaustion due to intense and continuous overwork."
According to accepted notions, he was conspicuously successful.
But who can doubt that he would not have exchanged a great part
of his success for a little more time to enjoy it?
And what shall be said of those who do not win more money
than they need, yet who drive themselves to death in a frantic effort
to get it?
The libraries contain a certain popular book on efficiency in of
fice management. It says:
"Do all your thinking on business matters by looking down at
your desk. Don’t look out of the window or around the office. There
are many things going on there that will set your mind wandering
Tom the work at hand.”
Learn to use the left hand as well as the right.
Outside the office, avoid the "newspaper habit "
Read only what is essential.
Literature? A waste of time!
JNever jest with a caller in business hours!
" nally one is urged to walk fast,
sauntering! No idle contemplation!
vhlficiencyll!

DELEGATES TELL
OF B. Y. P. U. MEET
AT GAINESVILLE
Mrs. L. D. Johnson, Mrs. Collier
| Foster, Miss Celeste Howard, Miss
i Sarah Harvey, L. D. Johnson, Her
man Howard and Miss Louise Hern-
Idon, of Central Baptist church, have
i returned from the state convention
of B. Y. P. U. societies of the state
-held in Gainesville last week. The
1 sessions lasted two days, beginning
I with Tuesday night and closing
Thursday night, with over 1,000 dele
gates from all parts of the state
present.
Many splendid speakers were on
the program, representing churches
from all over the state, many of
them from other states, and even
from foreign countries.
A great feature of the convention,
they report, was the musical pro
grams given at each session. Many
young men and young women, grad
uates from various colleges, gave
solos, duets and trios, and one solo
in particular which held the atten
tion of the vast audience being the
“Gospel According To You,” sung by
a young woman worker of the state.
Another enjoyabel selection was giv
en by three little girls of Atlanta,
“God Bless Our B. Y. P. U.”
•'Gainesville threw it doors wide
open to the delegates in her midst,
and the cordial reception which was
accorded them was a refreshing fea
ture of the great occasion, the dele
gates report. Everywhere were
placed welcome placards, and the
welcome spirit was abroad through
out the city. Homes were freely
given, and delegates were invited to
become temporary members of the
families of the city. Two mamoth
barbecue dinners were served on the
campus of Brenau college, and the
beauty of the college surroundings
impressed every one present.
Dr. George W. Leavell, of Wu
chow, China, was one of the speak
ers on the convention program and
his message was declared to be in
spirational. He told of the vast
fields ready in that great country
for harvesters, and so impressive was
his message that at the close of his
address when he asked who would
volunteer for Service in China, and
other foreign fields, thirty young
men and young women, all graduates
from colleges, rose in response to
his call. These will begin training
for missionary service under the va
rious boards of the missionary de
partment, and will place themselves
in these fields.
Dr. Leavell exhibited some ivory
chopsticks from China, and said that
he wished to present them to the
oldest Christian in the congrega
tion. One man rose and stated that
he had been an active Christian work
er in the church for 58 years. A mo
ment of enthusiasm followed the pre
sentation of the souvenirs. Then
an ivory jewel case was shown which
was to be awarded the one who had
read the Bible readings in the B. Y.
P. U. Messenger for the past ten
years. No one responded. Dr.
Leavell then asked if one had read
them for nine consecutive years, and
a young women rose and said that
she began these readings when a
student at Bessie Tift nine years ago
and had continued them since. Dr.
Leavell gave the jewel case to her.
Another noted speaker on the plat
form was Dr. George Truett, lead
ing Baptist minister and worker in
the South. He delivered three mes
sages to the convention, the first be
ing at sunrise Thursday morning
when the house was filled to over
flowing to hear his message on “With
The Master.” His second message
was delivered from the steps of the
courthouse, no auditorium in Gaines
vile being able to hold the vast
throng gathered to hear this noted
orator. His message that day was
“I’m Not Ashamed of the Gospel.”
Dr. Truett was raised in the north
ern part of Georgia, and Gainesville
claims him as her own, and upon this
occasion gave him an ovation. ' He
is now pastor of a leading church in
Dallas, Texas.
Dr. William Russell Owen, of Ma
con, closed the convention with an
address of good cheer. His subject
was »“Stir Up The Gift,” and his
closing remarks were an earnest ap
peal to all present to win one soul
during the coming year. A great
response was offered by the congre
gation. Dr. Owen was elected presi
dent of the convention to serve dur
ing the present term.
During the past year 124 new
unions have been organized in the
state, with 2,000 tithers. There are
120 A-l unions throughout the state,
and the convention has grown to such
a remarkable extent that after the
next meeting which will be held in
Savannah, it has been determined
that the state convention shall be
divided into six districts, each dis
trict to hold its senarate convention,
with probably one large convention
during so many years.

The Old Lady Takes a Ride in One o’ Them See-More Buggies
With a Passel of Delegates, and Encounters Terrible Seals
at the Golden Gate.
ON TOOR, SAN FRANCISCO,
June 29, 1920.
Mistress Miranthy Ann,
Pohunk, U. S. A.
Dear Minranthy:—
Lansakes, Miranthy, was you ever
so blowed an’ blustered you didn't
know which was top side er bottom
side of your coat linin’?
Well, thats’ me terday, after ridin’
with a lot of these Dimocratic Con
venshun delegates on one of them
rubber-neck wagins to the Golden
Gates Park, which has always been
mv desire ter see ever since I fust
read pitcher books about Californy.
I was a feelin’ it cornin’ on all
day, yisterdey, that I was about ta
take a trip someeres. So trustin’ to
a overrulin’ providence that seems
to enrap lunatics, babys ten’ lone
wimmin, I sez goodbye ta the mob
of Democrats an’ other citizens, an’
consignin’ the job a pickin’ th’ nex’
prisident of th’ You-nited States ta
second-cousin-by-marriage-on father’s
side Joshuie, I bought me a ticket on
one of them see-more buggies.
A man who did all his talkin’
through a fish horn, an’ wearin’
black goggles like Uncle Ephriam,
purty near got th’ best of my unruffa
ble temper, when he showed me
where I wuz goin’ ta sit. Miranthy,
it wasn’t no bigger than what ud fit a
stray kitten.
Well, as Joshuie sez, it ain’t no use
ta begin fussin’ arter the other fel
low has your money, so I dumb up
about has a mile, an’ squeezed inta
a perilus small space between cranin’
human mortals an we wuz off.
This Golden Gates Park is miles
of green grass, an’ smooth bullye
vards, an’ windin’ little shade paths,
an’ cute little lover’s lanes, an’ a big
zoo with awful fierce-lookin’ . wild
critters, a-howlin’ like the Republi
cans at their nachurnal convenshun.
Lawsy, Miranthy, it’s worth a toor

dropped right down frum heaven.
An’ then after all that, they was
the end of the trip, where you turn
around an’ do it all over agin. They
call it the Cliff House. An’ I never
kin hope to tell how that there build
in’ cud hang on the edge of nuthin’

We was all a-pilin’ out ta get suv
yneers, an’ look at the Gate ta
San Francisco what isn’t no gate at
all, but jist water, when th>> man
with the horn shouts: “This way ta
the seals.” I dumb up agin faster
in’ I ever did in my life, and’ pick
ed up my skirts keerful high, al
lowin’ I didn’t have no pertickler
fancy fer walkin’ right inta the jaws
a death, thaterway. But a man vtyi
a big cane says, “Don’t never wo'.,
lady. The seals has been instructed
not to bite delegates and their
■ friends.”
W’ell, honey, the seals was all
right an’ everybody was as happy
as if they wasn’t such a thing as a
Democrat or a Republican.
I ain’t found out yit who drug me
away from that there satisfyin’
scene, with the blue sky and oshun
—but here I am a-episodin’, when
I orter be dashin’ down to meet
Cousin Joshuie, who has been a
promisin’ me fer two days fa inter
duce me ta some awful, fancy dif
ferent kinds a slick eatin’.
So long, I might write again ter
morry, or next dav. Sincerely vour
AUNT AMANDIE.
P. S. I jus’ hear-ed some men
a-talkin about a awful stubborn mule,
jus’ arrived in town an’ causin’ a
’ awful hulla-balloo, a-tryin’ ta strad
■ die a wet blank an’ keep his feet
■ dry. I’m a-goin’ ta inevstigate. I
■ always was partial ta them unex-
I pected critters.
AS IT LOOKS TO ME AT WASHINGTON
BY THE INSPECTOR '
WASHINGTON, June 29—Senator
Harding is not the only person who
has ambition to get into the White
House. When his office in the sena
torial office building was opened, fol
lowing his return from the Chicago
convention, the first person in line
to see the nominee was a demure
young woman who wanted to apply
for a job as stenographer.
“You can leave your name, but I
am sure the senator won’t have time
to talk about it today,” George
Christain, Harding’s secretary, told
her.
“All right, if it is first come, first
served, I go to the White House,”
said the young woman, and she left
her name and address.
The deluge of job-hunters has al
ready begun on Harding He hadn’t

hours until he had to give instruc
tions to Christian that he just could
not see all his well-wishers. His
office was the busiest place in the
capital, whereas before his nomina
tion it dealt mostly with matters re
garding the Philippines.
Numerous persons had read at
tacks on Farding in the newspapers
and persons who claimed to know
the facts rushed to the senator’s of
fice to assure him that they would
deny them in due time—incidently
this would assure them the good will
of the nominee if he becomes presi
dent.
One fellow, the president of an
organization to which Harding be
longs, appeared with this felicitation:
“Senator Harding helped make
me president once, and now I want
to help make him president.”
