Mr. Burtor. convention to the highest e....... t has shown when he took the platform to nominate Taft. The delegates yelled, clapped their hands and waved (flags. Mr. Burton said: “This convention enters upon the rave responsibility of selecting a presi- ential candidate with the serene assur- ance that the Republican party will con- tinue to rule this people. “What. assembled multitude in any Jand has ever pointed the way to such beneficent results for home and for the progress of the whole human race, as the recurring conventions of this grand old organization? Yet we do not rely alone upon the record of that which it has accomplished. We emphasize, even more, its supreme pecan agen to solve thé problems of the present. It is especially app ropriate that this thering should be held in this marve- ous city of Chicago, whence the steel bands of commerce reach out in every direction, over plain and river and mountain, to almost boundless distance, bringing the richest treasvres of a con- tinent to lay them at your feet. ‘“‘Here it was that tne righteous up- tising against slavery and Bourbonism, sprung from the nation’s conscience, raised its first triumphant voice when Abraham Lincolu was nominated. And here, again, with notes of thunderous ecclaim, enraptured throngs greeted the naming of Garfield, of Blaine, of Har- rison, and of Roosevelt. Seventh Obioan to Lead Party.

They have not been satisfied that the Temple of Prosperity should be decked alone by the jewels of the fortunate and the opulent, but have insisted that it should still more abound in trophies which commemorate the enforcement of even-handed justice and the maintenance of that equal oppor- tunity which spreads hope and blessing even to the humblest home. Since the day when, less than thirty years of age, Mr. Taft denounced, with burning words, a member of his profession who had been guilty of flagrantly vicious practices and had demoralized the com- munity, he has ever been associated with the cause of the true reform— with that reform which will not con- tent itself with academic dissertation or hollow words. He has been imbued with the spirit of action. His advocacy of sounder conditions has never arisen from a de- sire for the exploitation of himself. It has always been based upon unswerv- ing integrity and the courage to speak the truth, as he understands it, on all occasions, no matter how influential or powerful the evils which he may at- tack. Ideal Training for Duties. “No one has ever yet assumed the presidential chair who had received a more ideal preparation for the duties of that great office. As Judge in State and Federal courts, as _ Solicitor-Gen- eral, as Governor of the Philippines, as Secretary of War, which has included the work of Colonial Secretary and Di- rector of National Public Works, he has received his training and has always shown himself master of the situation and competent to make more honorable and beloved the American name, “There have been no years of inac- tion in his career. He has been con- tinuously engaged in weighty tasks and each successive service has been char- acterized by an increasing influence upon most vital questions. “In our domestic affairs, in whatever position he has held, he has displayed the rare union of a judicial temperament with an unsurpassed gift for adminis- trative management. To him belongs the extremely valuable faculty of elimi- nating the nonessential from compli- cated problems and going directly to their substance. “His capacity for work is enormous, yet quite as helpful is his equable tem- perament, which will not allow the an- gad of life to distract or hamper m Broad of Sympathies, “Although of an aggressive person- ality, he possesses an infinite good nature, a aharm of manner: and a poise which have made him a model for exalted station.

Who is better qualified than he to lead America to her true position in this later lay when the boundaries established in the cen- turies past are becoming less distinct and kingdoms and races are begin- ning to realize that they have all one common destiny? Secretary Taft has exceptional fa- miliarity with conditions in the dis- tant Orient—in Japan, in China. We }may rest assured that our traditional friendship with Japan will continue. Moreover, the future promises that the slumbering millions of China will awake from the lethargy of ages, and she then will realize that the morning dawn of fresher life and wider outlook comes to her across the broad Pacific from free America, her truest friend and helper. ‘“‘We covet no portion of her terri- tory. We desire from her, as from all nations, increased good will and that mutual respect which knows neither bluster nor cringing on either side. Thus in this new era of larger rela- tions, Secretary Taft, with his com- prehension of national and international subjects, would furnish a certainty of peace and sustained prestige. Under him, at home and everywhere, this mighty people would have an assured confidence in the secure development and progress of the country and would rest safe in the reliance that a Chief Executive was at the helm who, in peace or in war, would guide the des- tines of the nation with a strong hand and with a gentle, patriotic heart. “And se today, in the presence of more than ten thousand, and with the inspirating thought of the well-nigh ten thousand times ten thousand who dwell within our borders, I nominate for the presidency tliat pocrees type of American manhood, that peerless representative of the noblest ideals in oo national life, William H.

CANNON DECLARES HE APPROVES THE PLATFORM CHICAGO, June 18.—Speaker Cannon, when asked for his views on the plat- form, said: “T think the Committee on Resolu- tions has worked out a very commend- able expression as to the position of the Republican party. It believes in the in- tegrity of the courts, and insists that their powers to enforce their processes and protect life and property must be preserved inviolate. The resolution fur- ther commends the courts by recom- mending that what has been and is their practice in issuing injunctions shall be expressly declared in the statutes. I approve the plank if adopted. “I also approve the plank as reported touching an amendment to the Sher- man anti-trust act. The committee struck out of the tentative draft of that plank the language which seemed to in- dorse class legislation. I think all Re- publicans can unite in the indorsement of these two planks, over which there has been so much controversy. “As to the tariff plank, it is In exact harmony with the resolution adopted by the Republican convention of the Eight- eenth Congressional District of Illinois, which I have the honor to represent, and as that resolution was approved by me before it was adopted, I naturally approve the expression in the national platform, some newspapers writers to the contrary notwithstanding.’’ LABOR LEADERS DOWNCAST BY LOSS OF INJUNCTION PLANK CHICAGO, June 18.—The camp of the American Federation of Labor at the Hotel Kaiserhof was overcast with gloom today as a result of the refusal of the committee to adopt the Gom- pera, anti-injunction plank in the plat- form. The committee's piank is regarded by the labor lecders as being of no aid whatever. “T have nothing to say about it, noth- ing whatever,’ said Gompers when he was asked for an expression of his sen- timents. “I don’t know that ; A ag lever Na? f feqard to say about { as being equivalent to lank whatever,” said Zann as age ga it and may opening ne ething wd put 7 boys, Gem is of no ve a hehell would yeither ition nor aa ge a ction, if any, they w d o ft er de Oy + x 1c - s s 2 hig a ya nod de & 4 Pi a Pn .§ , > . . ; ¢ | pe we ‘: izon of those fields still pass and repass CHICAGO Ce a * oe MURPHY PUTS. ANOK BEFORE LUNVENTION La. -~ 4 Lieutenant - Governor Lauds Keystone State and Fa- vorite Son. CONVENTION HALL, CHICAGO, June 18. One of the most successful oratorical efforts of the convention was the speech of Lieutenant-Governor Murphy of Penn- sylvania nominating Senator Knox for the presidency. He said in part: ‘‘Pennsylvania, proud of her illustrious history and of her loyalty to Republic- anism, comes to present her claims to this, the greatest convention .of the greatest party ever organized to main- tain the rights of man. ‘She comes this day with an escutch- eon undimmed by a single stain in sup- pert of those principles which have made her and this country great; she comes to remind you that from the beginning she has never wavered iy the faith, nor faltered by the way; she comes in the full tide of an uncnanging patriotism and the splendor of material power, freely acknowledging her obligations to all, and loyally pledging her enthusi- astic support to whoever may be named by the wisdom of this convention as the candidate for President. “She recalls with pride that upon her /soil was witnessed the birth of the Re- ublic; that within her limits sprang nto full view of the nations of the earth the glorious spirit of indepen- dence: that in every crucial contest for the supremacy of the Government, her sons have borne a distinguished part; that the memory of those who surrendered life that this country might live abides with her forever; that her battlefields, sacred to liberty, ever con- tinue as shrmes of enduring worship among her people; that across the hori- in grand review the deathless army. of Valley Forge, and rising ever before the mind appears the heroic figures of her noble sons, Meade and Hancock and Reynolds, crowning tne crest of Get- tysburg’s decisive field.

His mastery in law commanded na- tional attention; his triumphs &t the bar summoned him into the councils of the nation; his intellectual greatness appealed to the genius. of the lamented McKinley and he became the chief offi- cer of justic for the whole people; he came into place and position at one of the most critical periods in the life of the country. It was a period when vital problems affecting every citizen were pressing for solution. The situation demanded the highest ability and the most unyielding honesty. The spirit of commercial combination in its most ne- farious form stood entrenched in privi- lege; it had transcended the power conferred by law; it has prostituted a legal right for unlawful gain; it had larcenously preyed upon industry and labor; its startling growth involved the necessities ard liberties of life; it mer- cilessly seized upon every opportunity to enriéh itself at the expense of all; and, feeling assured in the contro! of the State, openly challenged the Federal authority. , Part of His Record. “Remarkable as it may seem, this great legal triumph is but one of many, no less in importance, marking his official career.

POST-DISPATCH BUREAU, AUDITORIUM HOTEL, CHICAGO, June 18. The vice-presidency is the point of in- terest now. In the vice-presidential race there is at this late date an Alphonse and Gas- ton game going on among the three leading candidates, Dolliver, Cummins and Fairbanks. Vice-President Fair- banks last night again declared that he’ did not want the nomination in a letter to his manager, Mr. Kealing. Between the friends of Senator Dolll- ver and Gov. Cummins of Iowa there is a great bowing and scraping. The Dol- liver men want Cummins and the Cum- mins men want Dolliver. Each Willing to Name Other. Col. Lafe Young, the Dolliver leader, declares that he is for Cummons. The politicians smile and see that Col. Young is hoping te bury Cummins in the vice-presidency and give Dolliver complete control in the State. Fach side is saying to the other, “Aft- er you, after you,” about the office. The names of the minor candidates will 811 be presented to the convention and the vice-presidential nominations are likely to take longer than the presi- dential. The White House has said Cummins or Dolliver. It has not mentioned Fair- banks, although the Fairbanks men have been listening steadily for a word of encouragement. It was believed in the morning that the convention would adjourn tonight after nominating a presidential candi- date until tomorrow, when a vice-presi- dent will be named. In the meantime the leaders will endeavor to shape up the vice-presidential situation. The friends of Gov. Cummins cf Iowa. led by Senator Borah of Idaho. an ad- ministration senator, feel confident of his selection. They\say he will be the choice by a process of elimination, both Fairbanks and Dolliver having again declined to be candidate. If Dolliver’s name is presented the Iowa delegation will withdraw it on his behalf and will urge Cummins’ nomination. Although Vice-President Fairbanks has said “no” six times, the leaders be- lieve he will accept if the convention should go strongly for him. Kellogg Watts for Strength. The Minnesota delegation is still fight- ing for Frank P. Kellogg, the admin- istration ‘“‘trust buster.’’ His name will be vresented only in case 150 or 200 votes are assured for him. His friends are claiming strong support from the Far West and the Southwest. The New York delegation is grcatly confused over the vice-presidency sitige- tion after Gov.

NOT OVER IMPULSIVE Great for Balance, Not for His Indiscretions, Delegates Hear. CHICAGO, June 18.—There was & hint of contrast between Vice-Presi- dent Fairbanks and President Roose- velt in the speech in which Gov. Hanly of Indiana placed the name of Fair- banks before the convention for the presidential nomination. Fairbanks, declared his. eulogist, is great not for his indiscretions, but for his. judgment, poise and balance. His administration, Hanly undertook to romise, would not be a “government by mpulse.”” ‘His character,” said the speaker, ‘is as pure and white as a marble shaft; his Hfe, public and pri- vate, as clean as th ‘morning light.”’ Hanly recited national and party his- tory at length, reminded the conven- tion that no Republican president save Hay es had been elected without Indl- ana’s vote, and reminded Ohio that Fair- banks was a native Ohioan. “He was nourished at your bosom; can you for- get your own?’ asked the Governor, appealingly. He quoted from the speech in which Secretary Root four years ago notified Mr. Fairbanks of his nomination for the vice-presidency, emphasizing Root’s acviaration that Fairbanks was fitted for the presidency if he should be called to that office. Has His Convictions. The speaker plainly: was mindful of the charge, often heard, that Fairbanks follows public. sentiment, and is never a leader in new movements. Of this, toward the close of his speeeh, Hanly said: “He has convictions concerning the fundamental principles of right and wrong and the great public questions that vex our people, and he is. not afraid to stand for them in public and in private. “Had he lacked either principle or courage, he could not have acquired leadership in Indiana. Without them her people would never have honored or trusted him. “He publicly opposed the free coin- age of silver when many of the party leaders hesitated and were afraid to speak. Under his leadership, Indiana Republicans declared for the mainte- nance of the gold standard months be- fore the party spoke at St. Louis. A Tariff Reviser. “To him and to them defeat with honor was preferable to. victory at the cost of a debauched currency and a ruined national credit. These being morally wrong, could not be politically right. So he and they believed, and so they said. “With equal courage he has led his party in Indiana, months since, to de- clare for the prompt and effective re- vision of the tariff immediately after the November election, whatever the re- sult of that election shall be, to the end that the business interests’of the coun- try may not be long subjected to un- certainty, and that the principle of pro- tection to American industries shall be preserved. “Tt is said ‘he is conservative,’ and so he is, and yet, withal, progressive. “His sense of right, his judgment, his poise and balance, and not his ‘indis- cretions,” make him great. Will Not Tear Down “As President he will build up and not tear down, create and not destroy. There will be no timid doubt, no halt- ing fear, no government by impulse. “Correction of abuses, the regulation of corporations and the punishment of offenders against the law, whether in- dividual or corporate, will go on, but they will go on through the impartial enforcement of the law and through decisions of the courts, and not through headlines of the daily press. ‘with him the ‘square deal’ will be transferred from the forum of aca- demic discussion to the field of. accom- plished fact. “His ‘spear will know no friend.’ There will be no favorites, no ‘immun- itv baths.’ He believes not only in ‘gov- ernment of the people, and for the peo- ple,’ but in ‘Qprerament by the peo- le,’ } CANNON ANGRY BECAUSE OF HOPKINS’ ATTITUDE CHICAGO, June 18.—"‘Uncle Joe” Can- non’s iré was thoroughly aroused today when he learned that Senator Albert J. Hopkins had made a speech before the Resolutions Committee in behalf of Senator Warner's anti-injunction plank. Defying the Roosevelt administration, Cannon has led the fight against the anti-injunction plank and it has “‘rflea’’ him considerably that Senator Hopkins would support that section of the plat- form, particularly as Hopkins,: so the Cannon men contend,e never could have been selected a member of the Commit- tee on Resolutions without “Uncle Joe’s” support. Such consent, the Illinois delegates say, would surely have been withheld if it had been realized, even remotely, that Hopkins had leanings in the direction of antt-injunction legislation. Just what effect Cannon’s grievance will have on the Illinois junior Senator’s candidacy to succeed himself is doubtful. It is generally believed that the storm will blow over before the State Legisia- ture meets to elect a senator next Jan- uary. The situation is being watched with interest by the Illinots delegates to the National Convention, It is complicated by the fact that George Edmund Foss, as soon as the convention is over, ex- pects to announce himself a candidate to succeed Senator Hopkins.

CONVENTION HALL, CHICAGO, June 18. Permanent Chairman Lodge took his place on the platform at 9:50. The decided change in temperature gives promise of the first hot day of the convention and the early arrivals evidenced their intention to be as com- fortable as possible by the discarding of heavier clothing. Fans have been distributed everywhere and the scene is one of waving move- ; ment. With the hall nearly filled, the band struck up “Star-Spangled Banner’ at 10:15 and the entire assemblage stood throughout the rendition, and at 10:17 came the call to order, George H. Williams, the only surviv- ing member of President Grant’s Cab- inet, was invited to the platform by mo- tion of Senator Fulton of Oregon. Senator Hopkins of Illinois, chairman of the Resolutions Committee, was in- troduced and began to read the plat-' form. His voice did not reach far and calls of “louder’’ frequently interrupted. Once he stopped and Chairman Lodge appealed for order. The reading was resumed, despite the buzz of conversa- tion in the hall and few could hear Sen- ator Hopkins. After five minutes’ reading Roosevelt's name was spoken once without ap- plause, A moment later, when Senator Hopkins spoke of the President's great work as an inspiration, cheers and handclapping interrupted him for a mo- ment. Among the early arrivals in the Ohio delegation, anxious to witness the strug- gle for the nomination, were several members of the Taft family. Charles P. Taft sat in his seat as delegate-at-large in the Ohio section, and, in the front row of the gallery were Henry W. Taft, ale> a brother of the War Secretary; Mrs. Henry W. Taft and Miss Taft and Mrs. Charles P. Taft. Senator A. J. Hopkins of Illinois looked tired and worn from the effect of the long hours of committee work. Chairs in the more distant sections of the far-reaching galleries were vacant as the work of the.day’s session was taken wp The opening phrase of the anti-injunc- tion plank caused a ripple of applause when read, but that portion referring to changing the procedure of courts so as to more liberally interpret them respecting injunction, brought some cries of ‘“‘No! No!” | The Taft managers in order to fully conserve the interests of their candi- date, early in the day placed on the floor of the convention hall Senators Burkett of Nebraska, Long of Kansas, Borah of Idaho and National Comniit- teemen Charles F. Brocker of Con- necticut, Powell Clayton of Arkansas and BE. C. Dunean of North Carolina. Frank H. Hitchcock, the Taft mana- ger, was also roaming around the’ con- vention during the entire day, seeking occasions to aid the cause of the Béc- retary of War'in all possible ways. Many of those in the sectidns fe- served for visitors brought luvch boxes with them, prepared to spend the entire day if necessary. With the gathering of the multitude the heat in the hall incregsed appre- ciably and it was not long before ghirt sleeves were much in evidence. * “IT am instructed,”” Senator Hopkins began—— of the hall. ——*‘‘to present to the convention”—— ‘‘Louder,” the speaker was again in- terrupted. —‘‘the following report.”’ “Louder, louder,”’ came the shouts as Senator Hopkins began the first sen- tences of the prepared platform. “IT can't go any louder,”’ explained the Senator and continued to read from the typewritten manuscript. It was not ' ng before the reader came to the first passages of the preamble according high praise to the President, and at the mention of his having won conspicuous a place in the history of the world, there was applause and some cheering, but no attempt at a demon- stration. The noise of conversation increased steadily and !t was only a short time be- fore Senator Hopkins was practically submerged In the vocal struggle. Chair- man Lodge sat quietly at his desk tak- ing little apparent note of the situation. A white-haired delegate from Colorado finally became restless. “Mr. Chairman,” he some order.” Bang went the chairman's gavel. “The chair must request the galleries to cease from conversation so audible as to prevent the delegates from hearing the resolutions.” , The hall was instantly quiet and Sen- ator Hopkins went on in comparative quiet. It was only a few minutes, how- ever, before the roar of voices again became prominent and swelled steadily and giving promise of another interrup- tion to the reading. When the anti-injunction plank was reached the words “integrity of the courts” called forth applause. There were cries of “no, no,” When the sug- géstion was made that necessity existed for a change {n present manrer of issu- ing injunctions. The conclusion of the plank was generously applauded. The planks immediately following were given little attention and were appar- ently unnoticed by the delegates. A reference made in the platform and called, “bring reiterance of the party's demand for the orcement of the thirteenth, fourteenth ‘and fifteenth amendments to the Consti- plause. i, ante. _Fora TT fae tt by direct vote of the people.

“OF ANGEL BOON S POSTPONED Missouri Delegation Decides to Delay Action Until Friday.

HOW MISSOURIANS STAND ON THE VICE-PRESIDENCY POST-DISPATCH BUREAU, AUDITORIUM HOTEL, CHICAGO, June 18. The Missouri delegation met at 9 o’clock this morning in the Grand Pacific Hotel to discuss vice-presi- dential candidates and tbe labor plank. Before entering the conference members of the delegation stated it was divided on both matters. Judge Nortoni told a - Post-Dis- patch correspondent that John E. Gilleland and Edward Spangler would vote for Nagel for Vice- President in the caucus, Ed Regenhardt of Cape Girardeau declared that he favored Timothy Woodruff of New York. Regen- bardt said he will vote for Wood- ruff in the State caucus even if nobody else votes for him. Rowland Johnston of St. Louis County declared himself as strong- ly in favor of Fairbanks. He fur- ther predicted that Fairbanks would be the nominee of the con- vention. The efforts of Col. R. C. Kerens and his friends have been directed to this end. In regard to the platform, the delegates are divided over the labor planks.

POST-DISPATCH BUREAU, AUDITORIUM HOTEL, CHICAGO, June 18. Missouri's delegation today voted to postpone going on record in reference to the boom on Charles Nagel of St. Louis for Vice-President until tomorrow. It would be unfortunate were the con- vention to end tonight with the only St. Louis boom in this condition. “Motion was made by Delegate J. E. Gilleland of New Cambria that the Missouri delegation indorse Mr. Nagel for Vice-President and present his name to the convention. Chairman Hadley did not put the motion, explaining that Mr. Nagel had requested that no action be taken in this regard until the presiden- tial candidate had been nominated and the platform adopted. Chairman Hadley announced that he would depart for Jefferson City tonight and former Congressman Frank Fulker- son of St. Joseph was selected to pre- side at the caucus Iriday. Refrain From Discussing Planks. There was no discussion of the plat- form in the caucus, the Missourians deeming it inadvisable, in view of the agreement of the Resolutions Commit- tee on the debated planks. Senator Warner, Missouri's member of the Resolutions Committee, did not attend the caucus. |

A Speaker Is Put in Nomination for Presidency by His Colleague.

LONG SERVICE LAUDED Reasons Given Against Illinoi- san Qualify Him, Con- gressman Declares.

CHICAGO, June _ 1i18.—Representative Henry Sherman Boutell of Lllinois today placed Speaker Joseph G. Cannon in nomination for the presidency. He said, in part: “In the name of half a century of Re- publican triumphs, Illinois bids you wel- come, to prepare ‘for still further triumphs. These are the scenes of the first conflicts and the earliest victories of our party. Fifty years ago men were listening for the words of the great de- bate that guided the destiny of the nation. In this city, eight and forty years ago, our predecessors, as minis- ters and stewards of the Republican faith, chose their first victorious leader. Then the hopes and yearnings of the people found expression in their call to him who had spoken as never man spake when he stirred the conscience of the nation, ‘Abraham Lincoln of Illinols. “Within these very walls, only four years since, we named our present matchless leader, Theodore Roosevelt. What glorious memories crowd upon us from across the years of mighty deeds wrought by the Republican party for freedom and humanity under out great chieftains from Lincoln and Grant to McKinley and Roosevelt! Offers an Illinoisan. ‘Inspired by these memories and en- couraged by these reflections, we meet to gird ourselves for another combat, and choose another captain. Today Illi- nois once more offers to the party of Lincoln and Grant a leader under whom defeat will be impossible and victory will be complete and glorious all along the line. And nothing less than complete victory should be our aim in these de- liberations. “If we win the presidency and lose the House of Representatives, it will be a drawn battle. To lose the Senate would be a national calamity. “He is the greatest Government ex- pert on revenues and appropriations, currency and the national debt. For a generation he has been intimate with the ablest men in both parties, and he has that rare wisdom that comes from long experience in public life, innumer- able conflicts that left no trace of bit- terness, and constant contact with the great minds of his age. We have had many illustrious speakers, Clay, Blaine, Carlisle, Reed, any one of whom would have adorned the presidential office, but in practical wisdom, knowledge of the needs of the Government and influence with his associates, no one of them equaled Speaker Cannon, Illinois’ can- didate for the presidency. Tells of the Abuse. ‘The reasons given by his opponents why Speaker Cannon should not be President are the very reasons which commend him for the office. Unthink- ing critics lightly condemn him and his associates in the National Legis- jature for what they have not done. They do not stop to consider that while it is the privilege of all citizens to sug- gest what Congress should do, it is the stern duty of that body to appropri- ate according to the revenues and leg- islate according to the Constitutien. Speaker Cannon has been censured and abuged almost as severely as were Washington, Lincoln and McKinley. And for what? For doing his duty. In the face of censure and abuse, he has gone on with unflinching courage and joyous serenity doing the right as it was given him to see the right, using his influence to stem the tide of waste- ful appropriations and to prevent the passage of ill-considered measures of doubtful constitutionality. History will do full justice to Speaker Cannon’s wis- dom and courage, and posterity will extol his virtues. But why should we leave this pleasant task f posterity? Why not be just and fair ourselves, and forestall the magnanimity of the his- torilans? Why not give to Speaker Can- non now his well-earned reward, so that he, as well as posterity, can en- joy it? “Speaker Cannon knows the people and sympathizes with them in their struggles because his own life has been a constant struggle crowned by success. Says the People Know Him. “Not only does Speaker Cannon know the people, but what is of more. im- portance itn a presidential candidate, the people know him, and those who know him: best love him best. His personality is made up of those manly traits that attract the admiration of his fellow men. He has met in the lists the bravest champions of his day. Sometimes he has been the victor; often the van- quished; but always he has been cheer- ful and stout hearted, remembering the past and its defeats without resentment and facing the future ever with wun- dimmed hope and courage undismayed. “His opponents Gwell upon his years as a handicap, but with him years have brought ~ signs of age, but only th» Wisdom of experience and its serens philosophy.

T {TAFT POSES f A PICTURE, B

Candidate Declines to Appear as in Communication With Chicago. . —

WASHINGTON, June 18.—President ~oosevelt-and Secretary Taft today had their fingers on the pulse of the Chicago convention. Shortly before 10 o’clock this morning the Secretary reached his private office in the War Department and plunged into the busi- ness of the day. Secretary Carpenter | presented him several routine sastiogk | concerning the War Department. In the course of the disposition of these Secretary Taft was requested by a pho- tographer to pose for a picture. “All right,’’ he responded, genially. “I’m posing now.” After the instrument was partially ad- justed the photographer asked the Sec- retary to sit at the telephone. “I do not sit at the telephone,’’ re- plied the Secretary, Jaughing.. ‘‘Tele- phone messages are taken by somebody else. 8 Photographed at Desk. The photograph was taken while the Secretary was sitting at his desk trans- acting the Government’s business. Taft found a bundle of telegrams from Chicago, and from various other parts of the country, nearly all of them re- lating to some phase of the convention proceedings. He received with particular gratifica- tion the information that the Committee on Resolutions had agreed upon the platform, substantially in the form he desired it to take. . Overnight exchanges of telegrams be- tween the President and Secretary Taft and their leaders in Chicago indicated that a few slight changes“ had been agreed upon at the meeting of the Res- olutions Committee. These changes were not unsatisfactory to either the Presi- dent or to the Secretary. Platform -Fight Over. In .the early morning exchanges, the indications were that no contest over any of the planks of the platform was to be experienced on the floor of the con- vention from members of the Resolu- tions Committee. It is not regarded here as likely that a serious contest over the platform will develop. Already the matter of the national chairmanship has been taken up with Secretary Taft, and he is being bom- barded with telegrams in support of various men. It can be said that no determination yet has been reached re- specting the chairmanship of the com- mittee, and none will be réached until after the convention shall have ad- journed. After disposing of such business as was on his desk when he reached the War Department, and receiving two or three visitors, Secretary Taft went to the Executive Offices for a conference with President Roosevelt. They were joined a few minutes-later by Secretary Root, and the three discussed the situa- tion as it was reported to them from Chicago. BEES TAKE POSSESSION OF COBBLER’S SHOP AND FORCE HIM INTO CORNER Swarm Makes Its Home Under Counter While Proprietor I§ Away and Cannot Be Induced to Depart. LEXINGTON, Ky., June *%.—A stray swarm of bees settled on the show win- dow of B. A. Thompson, a shoemaker on Mill street,*"and as the shop wag closed and quiet, they crawled through a hole in the glass and settled down to make their home under the counter. When he opened the store the next morning Mr. Thomoson found the bees in quiet possession, and as the police- inen would not obey his request for their eviction, the shoemaker contented him- self with doing his werk in one corner of the shop, while the ees aitended to business in the other. | Friends of the troubled shoemaker arranged a box baited with sugar near the bees, which they hope the latter will finally crawl into and be captured.

S. Frazer made the victory of Mary Scott Hartje over her husband, Augus- tus Hartje, millionaire paper manufac- turer, complete today, when by a deci- sion he granted practically all her de- mands, Although Hartje bitterly opposed the granting of alimony to his wife, Judge Frazer directs him to pay her $5000 a year. He also orders Hartje to pay her $26,700 for expenses incurred in the trial, in addition to $7000 for counsel fees. Mrs. Hartje_ gets the amount of alimony which she asked for, and her bill for ex- pemses and counsel fees is reduced only slightly. The decision of the Court came as a bitter blow to Hartje, who has fought every one of his wife’s claims.

ca a THREAT TO AUN “DICTATES PLANK Committee Adopts Injunction Provision After Telegram From the White House.

CONCESSION TO. LABOR Taft Must Be Given a Strong ~-#Platform, the President {nsists. |

CHICAGO, June 18.—Victory for the Taft forces on the Resolutions Commit- tee of the Republican National Cgnven- tion came with the dawn today. An injunction plank satisfactory to the pros- pective candidate Is embodied in, the - platform. This result was attained through the - gollapse of the opposition. Two hours before this the opponents of the injunc- n provision were rejecting offers of promise, and asserting with positive- ness their ability to eliminate any in- junction plank. | A telegram from President Roosevelt arrived, as well as a letter and a tele- gram from Secretary Taft, each urging action. An ultimatum, in substance if fot in words, had been delivered short- ly before to the “‘allies,’’ which was in- terpreted as spelling the renomination ~ of Roosevelt should the convention re- fuse a platform upon which the Secre- tary of War could make the race with eonfidence. Then followed protracted ‘@iscussion, and the final adoption of the contested plank by a vote of 3 to 16. There were a number of minor con- tentions in the committee, but the Roosevelt-Taft idea prevailed,’ and, while Chomas M. McCarter of New Jer- sey insisted on his right to take the question ef injunction to the convention floor, the prediction was made that no murmur of the preliminary fight would be heard in the convention. Opposition Dissolved. Beginning with the adjournment of the convention Tuesday, the work of the Resolutions Committee was practically continuous until 4:20 this morning, when the finished platform was produced. . It was not until 10 o’clock last night that the seales began to tip in favor of the administration forces, but after the dis- ‘golution of the opposition began it was rapid. and soon complete, leaving noth- ing to mark its existence but a few un- recorded speeches and a slim minority of votes. ; The court procedure plank, as acopted by the Committee on Resolu- tions, is as follows: “The Republican party will uphold at all times the au- thority and integrity of the - courts, State and Federal, and will ever insist that their powers to enforce their pro. ‘cemun and to protect life, liberty and property shall be preserved inviolate. We be- ‘Heve, however, that the rule .@f procedure in the Federal Court, with respect to the is- euance of the writ of injunc- tion should be more acurate. ly defined by statutes, and that mo injunction or tem- porary restraining order should be issued without neo- tice, except when trreparnable injury would result from de- lay, in which case a speedy hearing thereafter should be granted, Debate in Lond Tones. ‘The meeting of the full Committee on Resolutions was held in the Francis First room of the Auditorium Annex Hotel, and began at 10 o’clock last “Right. It was supposed to be strictly “executive” and secret and the bulk of the discussion was carried on in com- paratively low tones, inaudible a few feet beyond the outside of the group ef committeemen; but when the much- discussed plank relating to court-in- junction orders, especially in labor con- troversies, was reached, the intensity of feeling which had marked all debates on this subject since the convention be- gan was evidenced in raised voices, and ’ g@ttempts at secrecy were forgotten. At the same time the debate never - reached the point of personalities or ex- change of invectives, The injunction plank was reached by the full committee a few minutes after ita. m with Committeeman McCarter ' of New Jersey opening the fight against + {ts adoption. McCarter, whose reson- @nt tones filled the hall, declared that such a plank would be a reflection upon me integrity of the courts, and was en- threly unnecessary. He asked those in favor of the plank : to. show a single instance where the _ power of injunction had been abused by any court, and emphasized his remarks e denunciation of the demands of the rs

TARIFF: “The Republican party declares unequivocally for a re- vision of the tariff by special session of Congress immediately following the inauguration of the next President and commends the steps already taken to this end in the work assigned to the appro- priate committees of Congress which are now investigating the operation and effect of existing schedules, ‘In all tariff tegislation, the true principle of protection is best maintained by the imposition of such duties as will equal the dif- ference between the cost of pro- duction at home and abroad, to- gether with a reasonable profit to American industries. “We favor the establishment of maximum and minimum rates, to be administered by the President under limitations fixed in the law, the maximum to be available to meet the discriminations by foreign coun- tries against American goods enter- ing their markets, and the minimum to represent the normal measure of protection at home; the aim and pur- pose of the Republican policy being not only to preserve, without exces- sive duties, that security against foreign competition to which American manufacturers, farmers and producers are entitled, but also to maintain the high standard of living of the wage earners of this country, who are the most direct beneficiaries of the protective sys- tem. y “Between the United States and the Philippines, we believe in a free interchange of products, with such | limitations as to sugar and to- | bacco as will afford adequate pro- a tection to domestic interests ”’

Congress Approved. CURRENCY — The plank appreves the emergency measure adopted by the Government currency... PARTY PLEDGES CONTAINED IN REPUBLICAN PLATFORM during the recent financial disturb- ance and especially commends the passage by Congress at the last ses- sion of a law designed to protect the country from a repetition of such ~ stringency. The Republican party is committed to the development of a permanent currency sysiem, which ‘“‘must meet the requirements of agriculturists, manufacturers, mer- chants and business generally, must be automatic in operation, minimiz- ing the fluctuations in interest rates and, above all, must be in harmony with that Republican doctrine which insists that every dollar shall be based upon, and as good as gold.”’ POSTAL SAVINGS—“We favor the establishment of a Postal Sav- ings Bank system, for the conveni- ence of the people and the encour- agement of thrift.’’ Claims Trust Credit, TRUSTS—“The Republican par- ty passed the Sherman anti-trust law over Democratic opposition and enforced it after Democratic dereliction. It has been a whole- some instrument for good in the hands of a wise and fearless ad- ministration. But experience has shown that its effectiveness can be strengthened and its real ob- jects better attained by § such amendments as will give to the Federal Government greater su- pervision and control over and se- cure greater publicity in the man- agement of that class of corpora- tions engaged in interstate com- merce having power and opportun- ity to effect monopolies.”’ RAILROADS—The course of the Roosevelt administration is in- dorsed, and legislation is recem- mended giving railroads the right to make and publish traffic agree- ments, subject to the approval of the Interstate Commerce Commis- sion, maintaining always the princi- ple of competition between compet- ing lines, also legislation to prevent the watering of railway stocks and bonds. To Shorten Hours. RAILROAD AND GOVERN- MENT EMPLOYES—The legisla- tion enacted by the present Con- gress in regard to safety appli- ances and the reduction of hours of labor for trainmen and telegraph- ers is indorsed, as is also the law concerning compensation for injured employes of the Government. WAGE EARNERS GENERAL- LY—Plank commends party for establishing eight-hour system on public works, enacting a child- labor law for the District of Co- lumbia and providing for an in- vestigation into accidents in mines, PLANK WHICH CAUSED FIGHT. COURT PROCEDURE: “The Re- publican party will uphold at all times the authority and integrity of the courts, State and Federal, and will ever insist that their powers to enforce their process and to protect life, Hberty and property shall be preserved invio- late. ' “We bhelleve, however, that the rules of procedure in the Federal courts with ‘respect to the issu- ance of the writ of injunction should be more accurately defined by statute, and that no injunc- tion or temporary restraining or- der should be issued without no- tice, except where irreparable in- jury would result from delay in which case a speedy hearing thereafter should be granted.” The American Farmer — The rural mail delivery system is in- dorsed and its extension to every portion of the country recommend- ed. State aid in the good roads movement througheut the country is also indorsed. To Keep Rights of Negro Vote. the Negro—After telling what the party has done for the negre, the platform says: “We demand equal justice for all men, without regard to race or color; we declare ence more, and without res- ervation, for the enforcement in let- ter and spirit ef the thirteenth, fourteenth and fifteenth amendments to the Censtitution, which were de- signed for the protection and ad- vancement of the negre, and we con- demn all devices that have for their real aim his disfranchisement fer. reasons of color alone as unfair, un- American and repugnant to the su- preme law of the land.”’ “Fourteen Feet” Omitted, Natural Resources and Waterways. THE ROOSEVELT “MOVEMENT FOR THE CONSERVATION OF NATURAL RESOURCES” IS AP- PROVED. NO ESPECIAL REFER- ENCE IS MADE TO THE DEEP- ENING OF THE CHANNEL OF THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER, THE MATTER BEING COVERED BY THE STATEMENT THAT IT IS “IMPERATIVE TO ENTER UPON A SYSTEMATIC IMPROVEMENT UPON A LARGE AND ,COMPRE- HENSIVE PLAN, JUST TO ALL PORTIONS OF THE COUNTRY, OF THE WATERWAYS, HARBORS AND GREAT LAKES, WHOSE NATURAL ADAPTABILITY TO THE INCREASING TRAFFIC OF THE LAND IS ONE OF THE GREATEST GIFTS OF A BENIGN PROVIDENCE.” Controversy Avoided. ARMY AND NAVY.—The contro- versy between President Roosevelt and Congress as to the number of new battleships needed is avoided diplomatically by this declaration: Arbitration and The Hague Treaties—This plank indorses the ratification by the United States Sen- ate of the Hague conventions estab- lishing the rights of neutrals, laws of war on land and restrictions of sub- marine mines; governing the collec- tion of debts; and providing other means for “lessening the evils of war and promoting the peaceful settle- ment of international controversies.” Merchant Marine — The arty urges ‘“‘such legislation as “wht ll re- vive the merchant marine prestige of the country.” ‘ For Pension Liberality. Veterang of the War—The par- ty declares for a liberal administra- — of all pension laws, and in- dorses the increase in widows’ pen- sions made by the present Congress. Civil Service — The party de- clares for the enforcement of the civil service laws. Public Health—Favors legisla- tion to secure greater efficiency in national public health agencies, and commends what has already been done. Miners and Mining—Favors the establishment of a bureau of mines and mining. “Although at peace with all the world and secure in the conscious- ness that the American people do not desire and will not provoke a war with any other country, we, nevertheless, declare our unalter- able devotion to a policy that will keep this Repubic ready at all times to defend her traditional doc- trines and assure her appropriate part in protecting permanent tran- quality among the nations.” Protection of American Citizens Abroad—This plank contains. the stereotyped phrase calling for the protection ef Americans in foreign countries. _ Extension of Foreign Com- merce — The party is congratu- lated on the “remarkable growth’’ of our foreign trade, especial ref- erence being made to Secretary Root’s journey to the Latin Amer- ican countries. and Panama — Hope is expressed that the “Cuban people will soon again be ready to ac:=me complete sovereignty over their land.” — The platform declares that: Et “The native inhabitants of Porto — Rico should be at once collectively made citizens of the United States, and all others properly qualified un- der existing laws residing in said island. should have the privilege of ,becoming naturalized.” No recommendation is made in re- gard to the future of the Philippines. The platform declares that “educa- tion and practical experience are there advancing the capacity of the people for government, and the pol- icies of McKinley and Roosevelt are leading the: inhabitants, step by step, te ever increasing measure of

home rule.” In regard to the Panama Canal, the platform declares that “events have shown the wisdom of securing au- thority over the zone through which it is to be built. The work is now progressing with a rapidity far be- yond expectation, and already the realization of the hopes of centuries has come within the vision of the near future.”’ Two New States Favored. New Mexico and Arizona — De- clares for the immediate admission of these territories as separate states. ‘Lineola Centenary — Rec om- mends that it be celebrated through- out the country, “especially by the public schools.” The rest of the platform is de- voted toa statement as to how the two great parties have stood in the past on the currency, tariff and other important questions, declaring that the tendency of the Democratic party is toward socialism, ‘‘while the Republican party stands for a wise and regulated individualism.”’

ance of injunctions by the courts was, as a rule, in strict conformance with the laws as they appear on the statute books, the plank proposed by the Com- mittee would serve to make the general practice a universal practice through- out the country. Cites Taft’s Attitude. Representative Sereno E. Payne of New York, chairman of the Committee on Ways and Means of the House of Representatives, came out strongly in favor of the proposed plank. Payne said the party was about to nominate a man who believed in such a measure, and that he had declared himself in his speeches of the last two years, and especially in his recent one in Cooper Union, New York City, as strongly in favor of such action by Congress. Payne dwelt at considerable length on the attitude of Taft, and said that while he himself had been pledged to vote for Gev. Hughes for the presiden- tial nomination, he had no doubt that the Ohio candidate would be the choice of the convention. He believed the adoption of this plank in the Republi- can platform would insure Taft's elec- tion. Frank B. Kellogg of Minnesota fol- lowed with an equally spirited and vehement speech in support of the plank. Wade H. Ellis of Ohie surprised his hearers by quoting a telegram from President Roosevelt and a letter and a telegram from Secretary Taft. President for Plank. The President, in his telegram, first called attention te a telegram sent the previous day in support of the injunc- tion plank. ‘I hope very much,” the telegram con- tinued, “that it will be adopted.”’ The President said he stood for the “square deal’ and was not in accord with the extremist views of either the man- ufacturers’ association on the one hand or the labor unions on the other. Secretary Taft’s communication re- viewed the fact that his position on this question was publicly announced two years ago, before he became a candi- date. He favored a plank which would make impossible the radical use of the injunction, but would continue its con- servative benefits. All Hands Tired Out. Fhe plank was supported also by D. Lawrence Groner of Virginia, H. L. Remmell of Arkansas and H. C. Bur- son of New Mexico. McCarter of New Jersey, Drake of Colorado, O’Neall of Idaho and Fletcher of Vermont spoke in opposition to the plank, but shortly before 2 o’clck it became evident that the patience of 4ll hands was becoming exhausted, and

when the proposition to bring the matter to a vote was made, it received unani- mous support. Everybody was tired out. The method of taking the vote occa- sioned a brief discussion, some of the members of the committee desiring a simple division, without record of in- dividual votes. This was met by cries of ‘“‘No, no,” ‘Roll call, Roll call,” and one commit- teeman said: Hoped for Secrecy. “There is no harm in going on record on this question, for the vote will never be made public.”’ All seemed to take this comfortable as- surance for granted, and the roll call by States was begun. The actual test vote was taken on a motion of Mr. McCarter to eliminate the references to the courts from the text of the plank. Owing to the confusion of excited con- versation, shuffling of chairs and weary committeemen stretching into comfort- able attitudes after long confinement, the first vote, that of J. E. Montgomery of Alabama, was not heard. The chairman, Senator Hopkins ef Illi- nois, rapped loudly for order, but still there was continued confusion, especial- ly because some were in doubt as to the precise question upon which the com- mittee was to vote. Chairman Hopkins explained the situa- tion, and the clerk again began the rolicall. Montgomery of Alabama voted ‘‘No’”’ on McCarter’s amendment. He was fol- lowed by H. M. Remmell of Arkansas, also in the negative; but Henry A. Melvin of California and William A. Drake of Colorado voted “Yes.” Then came Connecticut, Delaware, Florida and Georgia in the negative, and from that time on the opponents to the amendment gained steadily until at the end the vote stood % te 16. This rolicall settled the question of the injunction plank in the platform, aud without further discussiqn, the re- port of the subcommittee was adopted. How Members Voted, Under the rules adopted by the Com- mittee, official record of the vete was not obtainable, but the division is said to have been as follows: For the injunction plank—Montgomery of Alabama, Remmell of Arkansas, Ull- man of Connecticut, Dupont of Dela- ware, Chubb of Flierida, Allison of Georgia, Hopkins of Illinois, Hemenway of Indiana, Long of Kansas, Bullitt of Kentucky, Mace of Maryland, Crane of Massachusetts, Kellogg ef Minnesota,

Hitchcock is litérally, in convention days, the commanding énéral of the Taft forces in the battles of the Coliseum floor. He makes old sol- diers think of their leaders in the wars. The Republican convention is enjoying the new sensation of watching its chief- tain, with a lot of aides, directing its movements from a secluded corner of the floor, just as a general commanding @m army guides its movements froma Secluded position in the rear. “ 6 Although in a partly hidden position, Mr. Hitchcock’s yellow hair is always Wisible from both the seats of the dele- Gates and from the galleries, and thou- gands of eyes are constantly fixed on it. ‘ Spectators seem to find a fascination gn the stern faced, pale, blue-eyed young Tan of athletic build who stands erect ‘end grim as a soldier, speeding his aides thither and thither by a word and never ghowing an emotion except as he smiles coldiy when some ene steps to cen- Grp nnete him on his latest victory.

Excise Commissioner Thomas E. Mul- vihill has begun @ campaign to diminish the number of saloons in what he terms the “poor” districts of St. Louis. He declared to a Post-Dispatch re- porter Thursday that he has mapped out his plan of attack by which he hopes to eliminate from 200 to 200 saloons in these districts before he goes out of office. The ‘poor’ districts Mr. Mulvihil! says, include the territory between Lucas and Cass avenues and between Market street and Chouteau avenue. from the Levee, to Jefferson avenue. Applications to Be Held Up. Mulvihill said henceforth, when a sa- loonkeeper in these districts applies for a renewal of license, the application will be held up until an investigation of the kind of place he has conducted in the past is made. If there has been the slightest infraction ef the dramshop regulations the chance for the saloon- keeper staying in business will be small. He will also endeavor to eliminate more than one saloon on a corner. He said that in many lecalities in these dis- tricts there are saloons on every corner. Present A i BN, AR ERE A EOL AO EE EON EIN ie My a a In explanation of his news crusade, the Excise Commissioner said: “Saloonkeepers in those districts are the most frequent violators of law. The poor class of trade they have does not make the conducting of a saloon alone profitable. So, besides serving minors, the proprietors, as a rule, permit all forms of gambling and conduct dives and secret winerooms in connection with their establishments. : “Therefore, any saloonkeeper in these districts who cannot make a living, without complying strictly with dramshop law will have to get out of business. And no doubt there will be & great number go. These saloons rep- ply the disreputable places of the c wef vesey Saloeus Here. Mr. Muivihill claims St. Louis has more saloons proportionately than any other city in the United States, despite the fact that the number has been re- duced from 2750 to 2100 since he took of- fice. “This city,’’ he said, “has a saloon to every 3875 inhabitants. Boston hag 1000 saloons, or one to every 800 inhabitants.” THREE BIG PAPER MILLS COMBINE Michigan Concerns Have Daily Output of 680,000 Pounds. APPLETON, Wis., June 18.—With the incorporation of the Nekoosa-Edwards Paper Co., with a capital of $3,000,000, three of the largest paper mills in Wis- consin have been consolidated. They, are the Nekoosa Paper wo. of Nekoosa and the John Edwards Manufacturing Co. and Port Edwards Fiber . of Port Edwards. Thousands of acres of timber lands in Wisconsin and bed «9d Michigan are included in the consolidation. The three have a daily output of 280,000 pounds of print paper, 200,000 pounds of ground pone pulp and 200,000 pounds of sulphite r The Post-Dispatch is the only evening newspaper in St. Louls that receives or publishes news gathered by the Associ- dealt with unfairly by the committee ated Press. wonder.

Before each session opens about twelve aids line up in the aisle beside Mr. Hitchcock ready to do his bidding. And they are put to work.

Here is the general who is sroducing all the results. The second day’s session gave Hitch- cock two moments when if he had any feelings he might have shown them. One was during the great Roosevelt ovation, when the gallery and the dele- gates were chanting in a mighty roar, “Four, four, four years more!” and the loyal Taft delegates in Ohio sat silent in alarm, Scores looked to see what Hitchcock was doing. He was standing erect and grim, watching every move and saying nething. “He ought to have a field glass and he’d look like a great general,”’ said a veteran of the war who watched him. And half an hour later, the Taft people had a tremendous struggle with the allies to prevent the adoption of a resolution changing the method ef rep- resentation in future conventions. For a few minutes before the fight began Hitchcock sent his ligutenants scurrying in every direction. But it was only for a minute; then he stood intently watch- ing the oratorical battle as if enly an interested spectator. When the roll was called and the vote see-sawed from one side te the other all the way dewn the list of states, others in the hall first cheered and then groaned. But. sasitchcock stood ex- pressionless and silent. “He is a Wonder,” say Veterans. Only when the final vote announced the Taft victory did he smile grimly as many hurried to shake his hand, and his aids congratulated each other. The old party fighters take their orders from the boyish Taft manager many times a day. They do not do it unwil- lingly. When they are asked about it they say, “He is a wonder.”’ He has the whole campaign at his fin- gers’ end. He knows every move that’s coming and he fs ready for it. “He’s a man after my own heart.’””’ They agree that he has been the master hand of the Taft campaign and that he deserves the national chairmanship. As for the enemy, he has him in a constant panic. For a week they have made him the issue. When he went in the National Committee by proxy they were enraged. When it was rumored that he was to have an alternate proxy in the convention they were again in alarm. His name will stir them to wrath at any moment. But at the same time they admit he is a master and the young managers ef the opposition fre- quently find it convenient to chat with ent and exchange jokes about their g.it. Started in Boston.

Now is the time to be careful. If you want the best beans, be sure to insist on Van Camp's. | The demand for Van Camp’s has grown almost too | large to be profitable. You all want the best beans now, and such beans have We must pay extravagant prices to get But we are getting them still, and we shall get them— else we will stop baking beans. For Van Camp’s will always be those white, plump, full-grown beans—selected Michigan beans. And, no matter what they cost us, we shall not raise the price to you. They told us—not long ago—that people were content with the beans they were getting. Some were content with home-Laked beans; some with the common ready- ‘baked brands. 4 Yet those contented people were eating beans scarcely once a week. Then we told you about Van Camp’s. We even gave away hundreds of thousands of cans to show you how good they are. The result is, millions have learned—for the first time —how good baked beans can be. They have made Van Camp’s almost a daily dish. They are using so many that it is immensely hard to supply them. But it isn’t the beans alone. The goodness of those beans is largely due to our method of baking. Van@mp's == PORK» BEANS When anyone says “Our beans are as good as Van Camp's,” please buy 34 them and try them. Serve them with Van Camp’s. Then let your people © say which kind they like best. It’s a very easy thing to decide. — It is a very easy thing to claim good beans. But it is a very difficult thing to bake them. We have spent 47 years in learning how to prepare such beans as Van Camp’s. Yet it means more than skill—more than facilities, It means a total disregard for expense. We pay nearly nine times what we need pay for beans, and five times as much for tomato sauce, the same as ours. Som in the just as good as Van Camp Some beans cost you a tri more, and the seller makes more, than can be made on Van Camp’s. They make more on one can, but not more long run.

WAITECOTTON 5 STILL IN RA FOR GOVERNOR é James M. Whitecetton ef Monroe County told a Post-Dispatch reporter Thursday that he had reconsidered his withdrawal from the gubernatorial race and had decided to stay in the fleld, at}: least for the time being. Early Thursday Mr. Whitecotton de- parted for Jefferson City, to have a con- ference with Gov, Folk. He said, as he was starting for the train: “I have reconsidered my decision to withdraw from the race for Governer. I will not withdraw—net for some time at least, and I may be a candidate for Governor until the nominations have been made.” Mr. Whitecotton said that he was from the Anti-Saloon League. He sald he had learned that the committee had made up its mind beforehand, to sup- port Judge Evans, and also to raise money for his campaign fund. In case Mr. Whitecotton had been se- lected as the candidate, he said, he un- derstands that he would have been given no financial assistance. Mr. White- cotton feels very unkindly toward Judge Evans and hig friends. It had been ex- pécted that he would announce his al- legiance to Dave Ball and help him out in his fight to win the Democratic nom- ination for Governor, until he announced he would not withdraw. - ie You were accustomed to beans that pe tint rt broken.

The bill approved by the Joint Committee seems to cover all necessary points. The plan reported to the Council and House offers opportunity to se-

lect an excellent commission, with all the powers} and resources required to do the work. No bet- ter gift can be bestowed upon the people of St. Louis than a commission ‘composed of honest, capable men, equipped for thorough work. It will ‘mark the beginning of the end of oppression in this city by public utility monopolies. Past delay and wrangling will be fcrgotten if the Municipal Assembly promptly completes the work of putting the “enabling act” into effect, A, tap / i is THE VICTIMS OF J UGGERNAUT. Circuit Attorney Sager of St. Louis, knocked down and run over in Chicago by the Taft band- wagon that has proved to be a Juggernaut for “the allies,” sends out a stentorian prophecy of defeat for the Republican party in the ap- proaching elections. Mr. Sager’s ominous announcement is full of local color. “The Republican party,” he says, “will lose the Eleventh and Twelfth Congression- al districts in St. Louis this fall, and it will lose 3000 votes in the Fourteenth Congressional Dis- trict of Missouri!” Voicing this jeremiad of impending disaster, Mr. Sager waved angry arms at Charles Nagel, Missouri's new Republican National Committee- man, who worships at the shrine of the Fat Pan- jandrum. As with Sager, so with the other Re-

in the way of the Taft Juggertiaut—they are wrathfully nursing their wounds, wiping the dust and grime from their clothes, and breathing’ out the direst predictions of calamity for their party. What a chance for the Democrats, this deep and bitter. Republican resentment of one-man rule, if only Mr. Bryan would be wise enough to heed its significance! ist, A. rw Men like Aldrich, Foraker, Cannon and Fair- banks have little or nothing politically in com- mon with men like Roosevelt, Cummins and La Follette. How long, then, can they continue as members and leaders of the same party? ia i he we THE PRICE OF ADVERTISING. Under a temporary contract the city is now pay- ing the enormous price of 5.75 cents per line to the publishers of the Abend Anzeiger and West- liche Post for printing Municipal Assembly and Board of Public Improvements proceedings and such other advertising as the charter requires to be printed in German newspapers. On June 22 the City Register will award. this printing (sub- ject to the Council’s approval) for the term end- ing June 15, 1909. The temporary arrangement was made neces- sary by the rejection of the excessive bids sub- mitted by the publishers of the three St. Louis German daily newspapers. The lowest of the re- jected bids was filed in the name of the Abend Anzeiger and was 7 cents per line or 1.25 cents higher than that paper will receive under the ‘temporary contract. Advertising rates are not fixed arbitrarily. The sum to which a publisher Of) & newspaper is en- titled has been scientifically determined by large users ‘of advertising. space, and the city officials are entitled .to. their. advice in reviewing the Bids to be opened..on June 22. . 4 experienced persons are called upon to utes expert ‘testtiiony they will ‘testify that it has been ascertained that no purchaser of large quan- tities’ of néwspaper space is justified by his. re- turns in paying a “higher rate than three-twen- ‘tleths of one per cent per line per 1000 circulation. This is the maximum. “The city is the largest advertiser using the German newspapers in St. Louis. Its. advertise- ments are set on machines and -cost. the pub- lisher less to set than the hand type, display ad- vertisements’ 6f the next largest patrons. The city. .is,. therefore, entitled . the minimum rate on its business. aa Advertising agencies ‘which place’ millions of lines of advertising , annually: ‘have established a standard ‘rate ‘of one-tenth of:a cent per line per 1000 circulation. It*is upon this. basis; that rates an to contractors for large quantities of. space are fixed by the Post-Dispatch, ‘the Globe-Democrat and the Republic. No publication has been made of the circula-| tions of either the Abend Anzeiger or the West- liche Post. It is not believed by persons experi- enced in circulation that combined they circulate 16,000 copies daily. If the Council should inter- pret the charter provision that the contractor must have at least 3000 daily circulation to mean 3000 copies daily are PAID for by their recipi- ents, it is believed that the Abend Anzeiger would be debarred from the bidding. The dignity which envelopes the secretary and general manager of the company publishing the Abend Anzeiger and Westliche Post defeated the Council when, considering the former bids, it would have inquired into.the actual ‘circulation of those papers. All the information obtainable on that point. was in an. affidavit of the publish- ers that the circulations of the Abend Anzeiger and Westliche Post exceed 3000 copies daily. If this be taken to mean 4000 daily circulation, ad- vertising experts will inform, the:Council.the high- ‘est rate that should be paid for advertising space in the Abend Anszeiger is*twelve-twentieths of a cent per-Jine. The rejected bid was, therefore, nearly eleven times the highest rate obtainable by the Abend Anzeiger from commercial advertisers contracting for less space than the city will con-

transletion. The is that German newspa-’ pers do not employ pose; that nearly all the proceedings of the Mu- nicipal Assembly and Board of Public Improve- ments goes to the typesetters in English and that the typesetters turn the English copy into Ger- man type without extra compensation. Small ef- fort is put forth by the compositors or by the clerks who translate ordinances in finding German equivalents for the English words; they spell En- glish words in German letters for the most part. Any interested person can realize the truth of this if—although he may have small knowledge of Ger- | man—he will:look over the Council or House pro- ceedings in the Abend Anzeiger. But if it be‘claimed that a charge for this sort of translation ‘is just, it cannot be maintained that the cost ‘ts’ greater than one-fifth of a cent per line. | Add that to the maximum rate advertising agen- cies would pay on the Abend Anzeiger’s presumed circulation and we have a gross rate of sixteen- twentieths of a cent per line or four-fifths of a cent. apes : Yet the city is now paying 5.75 cents under the temporary contract, and has paid 5.75 cents per line ever since the formation of the German news- paper combine. That the whole cost ot advertising in German newspapers is & dead loss to the city all disinter- ested persons are agreed, and it is equally patent that this cost is more than six times greater than an advertising agency would pay for the same liad As a i “lt know who is going to be Vice-President, but I won’t tell,” says Chauncey Depew. Well, any- way, this puts the erstwhile Peach cafely out of the “I told you so” class.

Tired Policemen. To the Bditor of the Post-Dispatch. Two nice gentlemen happened to held down seats in an Easton car Sunday afternoon about 2 o’clock as if they had done a big day's work. This car was pret- ty well crowded—ladies standing up—but our noble, nice policeman did not get up. It was a’ beautiful sight. The Police Commissioners should give these two nice gentlemen a nice leather medal. A LADY WHO HAPPENED TO SEE. Abuse of Horses. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. I very seldom ask leave to print, but I wish to make an emphatic protest against the most unmerci- ful manner in which the horses are treated in the coal yards on the north side of Market street, be- tween Seventh and Eighth streets. Our office is lo- cated on the fifth floor of the Lincoln Trust Build- ing,eand day after day we can hear men lashing their teams, accompanied by yells and shouts. Ev- ery now and then we look out of the windows and see a dead horse, and this morning there is one poor ani- mal down, awaiting a shot from a policeman’s gun. B. P. NEUTON.

I say sure way, because there is a reason- able doubt if a bond issue would receive enough votes to carry it at the next election. JOSEPH L. SCHERTZ, 6307 Famous avenue. quae “ Favor of a Directoire. To the Baltor of the Post-TAspatcn. Why is ft that so much fuss is being made over the wearing of the directoire dress by women, and the consequent showing of a portion of one limb, when at the'seashore all bathers, and many who do not bathe, for that matter, wear dresses up to their kneés.and nothing. thought of it? Again, a miss of 15 may ,wear her dress a foot from the ground, but if that of the 16-year-old miss is. worn above her shoe- Htops:she‘is considered immodest. Why is this? What is there {mmodest or shocking, anyway, about a wom- as legs when shown on the street, when they may be exposed freely.on the stage or at the seashore without exciting the least criticism or comment? Cer- tainly if the directoire. skirt marks the beginning of a movement toward the abolition of the diseage- breeding; filthy, awkward and unsightly long skirt for women it will do more for their health, happi- ness and general well being than any other single thine‘ that has been done for them in the past hun- dred years. g J.-P ascenitipiatitint The Ruled Out Teachers. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. In what way does the teacher’s diploma framed in attractive gilt frame and hung on the wall benefit ree unless she can always make a living in the pro- fession that it represents? It only reminds her of the fact that she was a foolish virgin to waste the best j years of her life in hard work and study preparing for a profession that denies her the opportunity of earning a living in it when she most needs it. Some- oné may argue that the teacher gets an excellent education and an enducation is always an asset. This is true, but the training a teacher receives is alto- gether different from that gained in the business world. After spending seven years in the grammar school, four years in the high and two in the normal, and several years in the schoolroom as a teacher her training practically unfits her for the commercial world. The teacher (widow or self-sustaining wife) should make a living in the profession that required sO many years to master and she should be given a chance to substitute and in that way learn the new methods. !

The modish ‘collar niakes a woman look as if she were pleasantly choking} to death. These high collars are entirely the result of John Sargent’s craze for paint- ing long necks. Mr. Sargent is pre-eminently the painter of the world’s aristocracy. Besides painting all the aristocratic people, he makes the pictures of those who shouldbe high’ bred and arefi't look like queens by stretching their necks.

Certainly they are most trim and shapely looking, and except to the exceedingly thin person will be found generally becoming. There is, however, a model that will be very kind to the too thin figure. It is made in one piece by means of a folded belt. The waist above and the skirt beiow are tucked vertically for several inches, which, consequently, nrovides fullness at bust and over the hips where most needed. The folded belt and the tucking give an agreeable full effect. The top of tne suit is gathered into a deep shaped band cut in one with Jap sleeves. This neck is not too low, anether advantage to a thin person, for while the broad sailor collar is always becoming to a siight woman, the front effect is not as charitable to the very thin neck. While there are a number of suits in plaids and checks the majority are in plain colorings relieved by braid trimming or fancy material, both.

REFTECTIONS OF A BACHELOR GIRL By HELEN ROWLAND.

._LL this ta.: about trial marriages seems that marriage has always been a trial. A man in the act of putting his wife on the train for her summer va- * eation feels like the bad boy who has just heard the bell clang for recess; he doesn’t know exactly what he is going to do, but he knows it will be something against the rules, and hence very fascinating. ~ You would fancy a girl were a species of ostrich from the amount of flat- tery a man feeds her before marriage and the two-edged cynicisms he expects » her. to swallow afterward. F _ Happiness in marriage doesn’t depend half so much on whether or not a Man keeps vod ag Commandments and goes to church as on whether or not he keeps a Brett : Heart-to rg: § talks between platomic friends are apt to lead to lip-to-lip _,#llences that Plato never dreamed of. ’ - Man may be the noblest work of God—in the abstract; but in a bathing suit well it take blind love to make a gir) think he looks like that. A man’s surprise at the calmness with which his wife receives the an- nouncement that he has failed in business ig only equaled by his astonishment at her hysteria when a dress comes home that doesn’t fit. _ A girl always keeps a tender spot in her heart for the man she once loved; . but to a man nothing is 80 cold as cooled affection. Matrimony is a life job with long hours, small pay, hard work, no holidays and no chance to “give notice” if you get tired of it. _ Marrying a widower is like inheriting an heirloom: iaarrying a grass wid- aot. like getting secondhand goods that somebody has been anxious to get o ‘After all, a wife has her uses—even if it’ 8 only as a protection against oth- er ladies’ breach of promise suits.

when stillness is enjoined, we sit quietly in a chair. Yet finger tips, mouth or-foot may be moving rest- lessly ali the time, depriving us of the full benefit of rest. Quietness should be applied to every- thing we do. To prove its necessity watch yourself for a day and see how many needless movements you make. Perhaps you are at a desk and as you write you draw your eyes toward your nose. This habit tenses all the muscles around our eyes, draws up those near the nose, and as far down 148 the chin.

red satin foulard dotted with white would be stunning. The stockings to be worn with it should be red and white polka dot, and the shoes black. The parasol should show a combination of the black and color and the handbag of black silk drawn up with red ribbons and lined with the color. hen plaid or check is chosen for the suit, then the trimmings will be of plain color. This is a pretty, if not very striking, fashion. And among the happiest combinations, to my thinking, is white linen-or pique, no matter what the colors may be in the sult. parlance. A black silk tie and all black handbag will give the necessary dash to this toilet, if such is desired. The entire front of a 1908 princess frock will often be entirely covered with a trimming, and $35 is only the average price for a suit of this description. Then . there are all the accessories to match that go to make up this toilet, so that $50 may soon be spent on the outfit. For $5, however, a very nice bathing suit in black or blue brilliantine, fin- ished with a shaped or sailor collar daintily trimmed with braid or fancy mate- rial, may be purchased. Few of the skirts are trimmed, this not princess mode, but in the case of the wearer being very tall, bands in contrast- ing tones will be an improvement.

CORRECT SPEECH. | From the New York Times. HE heated argument as to wheth- er the English people or the ad Americans speak the best English can have no important outcome. Both parties to the controversy are right and both are wrong. Well-educated persons in both countries speak the lan- guage correctly. The best English speech is not slurring, elliptical or drawling. The best American speech is not of a nasal quality, harsh, or too hurried: for correct pronunciation. Peo- ple of both nationalities who talk well rarely use slang. They command a rich enough vocabulary of good English to be able to express themselves without crossing the border and invading the prise ring or the music hall. Fondness for slang betrays an ill-developed in- tellect. Good English does not prevail in the most fashionable society, but the use of it is essential in the best society.

Fashionable so@iety has fashions in speech as in clothes and jewelry. Knowledge of the prevailing fashiona- ble diction is a sign that one !s fashion-

In short, there igs no reason why the St. Louis Browns should feel particu- larly disgraced by their bad showing against the Reds. Boston at the present time is one of the hardest clubs in the League to make a show of. Its pitchers are doing well and the club is batting right at the top of the League, to say nothing of the way its young men are running the 3 oNT TAKE Ho LIP eee.8 .

Out- side of colt stakes, this is the largest number of horses named in a single race, and is surely the most appropriate for the largest purse ever offered for one race—running or trotting. When the New England Trotting Horse Breeders’ Association announced this magnificent stake for a dash, nothing of a definite nature was given out as to what percentage of the purse the donors expected from the nominators in order to make the évent a go, yet, judged from private reports, horsemen were given to That Big Driving Race.

Thayer, who is understood to back the event ‘Individually for the benefit of the sport. : Acording to the conditions of the stake these 124 nominators already have paid almost 25 per cent of the purse, or $12,400. The second pay- ment of $100 on each entry was due on June 15, and the third payment of the same amount is due on July 12. During that period all of the entries will be in training, and if any be de- clared out of the stake it will be merely on acount of accident. t is therefore a fair estimate that at least 100 horses will be kept wn Set up ‘to the last or fourth payment.

Some of the orses en- tered in the big race will keep their engagements at Detroit, Kalamazoo aud Shuftalo, and their showing at these meeti will be considered by the handicappers.

While Courts iaunk i for Jurisdiction Indicted Man Walks the Streets.

_ BEATTLE, Wash., June 14.—While United States District Attorney Todd, on behalf of the Government, and Frank ‘B. Wiestling of counsel for the accused, “are waging a bitter legal battle to de- ‘termine the question of jurisdiction, Bob “Celestine, a Tulalip Indian; walks the streets of Seattle a free man, at least temporarily, although he stands ac- cused of the murder of Mary Chealco, a tribeswoman. — ' Judge C. H. Hanford of the Federal Court ordered the release of the pris- oner on his own recognizance, pending a ‘decision as to whether the State or Fed- eral courts have jurisdiction of the cases. The case is peculiar in local criminal practice. ‘Celestine, an aged man, has been con- ‘fined in the King County Jail tér 18 months. He has been twice indicted for dmurder by a grand jury.’ His counsel, #@ontends that the State has jurisdiction, and Judge Hanford once ruled that he li : no jurisdiction because the accused and the murdered woman were both liv- Yng on alloted lands, which, he held, gives the State courts jurisdiction. When the Indian was first indicted deer @ year ago, the indictment was found faulty. The Indian was then femanded for the next grand jury, and was again indicted. His counsel then gontended that ‘the State, not the Fed- 7 Court, had jurisdiction. The court upheld this contention, and District Attorney Todd filed a demurrer. Whis was overruled, and the Indian re- handed to the Snohomish County au- thorities. Mr. Todd now filed another demurrer, and will sue out a writ of error in the Supreme Court of the Unit- ed States. Pending this appeal Judge Hanford decided to permit Celestine to be at large. MANY WOUNDED IN STUDENT FIGHT Clericals, Aided by Peasants, Storm University While Town Looks On. |

Special Correspondence of the Post- Dispetch, VIENNA, June *.—Many students were Wounded on both sides in a pitched battle at the Graetz University. The Liberal students had announced that they would not permit the Clerical students to attend the ceremony of pro- motion to the doctor’s degree. They @eciare that if the Clericals will not fight duels they have no right to form], student's societies wearing distinctive éolors and carrying swords. In consequence of this the Clericals obtained the istance of 200 peasahts and stormed the university, which was held by the Liberals. There was des- perate fighting with sticks, life-preserv- ers, and fists for twenty minutes, while thousands of the population collected to witness the fray. | becTon IS ENJOINED BY. ~~ RIVAL FROM INCREASING -

STOCK MARE RALLIES NEM THE CLOSING Securities Advance to Highest Points in Final Hour of Session.

The differences between the closing and opening prices of stocks were re- stricted to small fractions. Rock Island preferred, with a decline of % point, made the largest change. As has been the case for the last week, the initial tra..ng was dull, sev- eral issues not having opened at the end of the first half hour. The first sales showed great irregu- larity in prices, althcugh a majority of the issues were somewhat iower. Amalgamated Copper, St. Paul and New York Central were unchanged. Canadian Pacific, Great Northern and Southern Pacific were a small fraction higher, and all the other rail issues were from % to % off their closing figures. At the end of the first half hour's business there were few changes from the opening quotations. The Harriman Pacifics and the Hill stocks receded about % each. Northern Pacific gained % and Reading % higher. Outside of Union Pacific and Reading there was little business transacted. Most of the industrial stocks showed early improve- ment. United States Steel common was rather active and gradually moved up to 37% from an opening of 87%. Brokers expect a small break in the market be- fore noon, but trading will be merely perfunctory until the iate hours of the session. The London~ market was very irregular. The tendency of prices during the forenoon hours was downward. Less than half a dozen stocks made small ins. These were Atchison, 4; Read- ; Union Pacific, %; Smelting, %, tee] Common, , here was no trading at all in Steel. preferred. The inactivity of the market may be judged from the fact that the sale to noon were less than one Sundved thousand shares. Three stocks made conspicuous a American Loco- motive, 2; B. & O., 1%, and Louisville & Nashville, 2% points. | The drop in these was due to a gen- eral expectation that there would be a cut in their dividends. B. O.'8 last papers showed a pronounced de- crease earnings. Canadian Pacific declined a point on small trading and St. Paul lost %. The market closed strong, after a rather tedious and featureless forenoon session, and the majority of the list, led by Union Pacific, advanced sharply in the final hour to the highest ovale of the day. a Bank Clearings. 1907. $288, 499, 937 43.439,068 21, 756, 766 9,207 28:0 Bost Philadélphia Heltday. Baltimore .. THREATENS AIDS OF WalST PARTIES Toledo Police Chief Declares He Will Not Permit Any Kind of Gambling.

TOLEDO, O., June 13.—Chief of Police Perry Knapp threw-a bomb into high society circles when he announced that he. would arrest any person or persons of whatever walk in life of whom he had information that they were gam- bling, even if only at a private bridge party. “If I am informed that bridge parties are being held in which prizes are of- fered I will most certainly go after those engaged. Bridge whist or any other game is gambling just the same as poker if stakes are up, and I propose to stop them. I shall show no prefer- ence,"* What is said by the liberal element both in and out of politics to be a pre- liminary political move to stir up trouble in the ranks of the Independents has developed into a sort of boomerang that may possibly hurt more than was expected if the gamblers and saloon- keepers affected go through with their determination to close up the town. the more prominent liquor men it was decided to enlist the services of all the other saloon men to the extent of clos- ing up the town tight. This means mid- night closing and closing of everything on Sunday even to soda fountainé, cigar stores and similar establishments. FRIENDS BELIEVE SUPPOSED

ALE DECIDES WIFE HAS RICH TO HERFANCES oman Who Wanted Pretty Clothes, but Didn’t Get Them, Wins Case.

af That it is the privilege of a wife to dulge in fancy notions so iong as she ® not éxecute them with disastrous fect to her husband's purse, is the view Circuit Judge Sale, who awarded a vorce Wednesday to Mrs. Mamie Miarohn of. 1317 Russell avenue. The Judge holds that, if it gives a oman pleasure to have these notions, no harm can be done. A tan, the Judge thinks, is fortunate Whose wife is satfSiied with fancy no- tions without realizing them. “Mrs. Marohn’s husband, Emil, in his petition for divorce charged her with extravagance. Ina crossbill she denied that she was ever extravagant. Marohn alleged that his wife desired expensive hats, gowns and other wear- ing apparel and that she had fancy no- tions about things generally. On the witness stand he admitted he had given hér only $5 for clothing during the four months they lived together. She used this to buy slippers to wear to the wed- ding of Marohn’s brother. Judge Sale referred to the $5 as a *munificent sum.” cy ideas,”’ said the Court, “don’t cost anything and it seems so far as the plaintiff is concerned ideas are the most he indulged his wife with. She dressed herself up in these.”’ Mrs. Marohn declared she was not only required to practice economy in the matter of dress, but also as to food. “He allowed me $5 a week for the table and out ofgthis he demanded his ciga- rette money and car fare,’’ she testi- ‘Bhe said he found fault with her be- ®ause she could not get a 2-cent tseak for 10 cents and always was reminding her that his mother could get such bar- ns in meat. «In deciding the case Judge Sale de- d the only allegation proved by the tiff was that his wife refused to re a cup of coffee for him. ‘“Cer- _— io as aimee THREE LEADERS AT.

Stillman, professor of engineering chemistry in Institute of Technology at Heboken, has discovered valuable gold dirt in the earth taken out of the excavation made for the to the Preparatory

Thomas Stevens annex Stevens School. “Tf this were farm land around here, worth from $20 to $60,"" said Dr: Still- man, “‘we might go right in for Ho- boken gold; but it wouldn’t be good business to disturb the gold already on top of the ground, which is the institute, for the possible gold underneath. Be- side, the vein is very thin.’’ Dr. Stillman was watching the Ital- ians throwing up the dirt and noticed that some of the dirt that was coming out of the hole resembled very closely the gold quartz which he used to work over. io war "2 ATTIRE 1S HOST rR CRIP ME Drummers’ Association Has | @O) Mardi Gras Parade as Convention Feature.
