The bill was tha occaalon of conald
erable dlacuaalon. Senator Howard
apoke eloquently In favor of this bill
which was favorably reported by the
appropriations committee, urging the
tremendous need of many young
Georgia women who were prevented
education becauae of tha lack of au
commodatlon for all applicants.
Senator Knight, In speaking against
the appropriation, dwelt at length on
the lack of funda for paying the teach
era and stated that he was opposed to
spending money until these teachers
were paid and the education of all the
Ignorant In Georgia was mads possible.
Knight stated that the last election
In Georgia had given an

all be ao educated that they would
know how to look after and protect
their own beat Interests.

Senator Taylor, replying In favor of
the appropriation, objected to the In

Senator Camp was opposed to the

DENVER, July 8.—Twelve years ago
the house of Democracy was divided
against Itself. The division esme at
the tomb of the party’s founder, the
Father of the Declaration of Independ
ence. It was a sorry wrangle at the
grave aide. A train load of Democrats
went down from Washington to Mon
tlcello to celebrate the birthday of Jef
ferson. All the country side gathered
upon the noble eminence to greet the
party leaders snd Join In the homage
to the great commoner. The students
came wearing the black and gold of
the University of Virginia, which Jef
ferson founded. The Democrats feasted
beneath the roof that sheltered the
Sage of Montlcello and then they went
out under the acgclaa and lindens
where Jefferson loved to stroll In the
days of his deathless authorship and
profaned the sacred soil with a robust
row over the money question. It was
planned to be a keynote occasion, pre
llmtnary to the presidential campaign.
Today after many conferences there
ls*a harmonious Democracy.
This re-assembling of the party's
representatives resembles nothing so
much as a reunion. I know* the plu
tocratic foes of Bryan call It the In
difference of disintegration, the sleep
sluggishness of despair, but this is true
only so far as It relates to the reac
tionaries. the corporation crowd beyond
the Ryans. Guffeys, Sheehans, Mcc’ar-
rens. Sullvana and others who can not
entice or cajole Bryan Into making
terms with them. •
A* to the rank and file of the party
this convention spells re-Integral Ion,
unified organisation with a common
purpose entering upon the campaign In
closer accord than It has been before
In sixteen years.
So it has come about that genuine
hopefulness prevails in the Democratic
temple, with the fullest acceptance of
Bryan and what he deems paramount
In the Issues of the hour, as this Is a
guarantee of vitality and victory In
the party program of the year.
There Is the usual amount of guff
from anti-Bryan sourcea that the far
mer of Falrvlew Is vouchsafed abso
lute sway here as the slickest way of
bringing about his enotmhment, what
Is heralded as his mastery of candida
cies and platform Is In fact nothing but
cheerful acquiescence In his having
plenty of rope wherewith to hang him
self.
The tacticians for Mr. Taft are alto
gether too keen to be lulled Into a
sense of security by any such bun
combe as this. Mr. Bryan's masterful
ness should be a sign to the other side
that they have a foeman worthy of
their steel to deal with.
Those 14 1-2 Cent
Wash Fabrics
It s a tit difficult to tell you ade
quately just kow attractive these are, be
cause your mind is probably running on
those commonplace sleazies and bizarre
mixtures of off-colorings and queer designs
that abound in the average fabric mar
ket-place today.
These are different. They don t
come in the commonplace class at all.
These are the choicest output of a
quality mill.
They are good all the way through,
not alone in grade of material, hut in
their colorings, their designs, their effects.
We might give 'em fancy names,
hut we don't believe it would add a mite
to the prettiness of the dainty frock you
can make out of any of them.
They are just fresh, fine, pretty,
effective, thin wash goods. They will
develop into the dressiest or plainest of
gowns. They will respond delightfully
to the enrichment of ribbons and lace, or
they'll keep sedately simple—just as you
choose.
Among them are some of those very
good cotton voiles, the uncrushahle, light
and prettily draping stuff that's so satis
factory.
Colors? Everything — light, dark,
rainbow stripes, bars, figures, dots, checks,
sprigs, lines, zig-zags—whatever you like.
And only fourteen and a half cents a
yard. We know you’d like them.
