A la convention republican, reu-
nida en- Chicago al principle de esta
semana, Sc le ha llamado la ~conven-
cion de Roosevelt.1 La indiferencia
fue Ia nota que caracterizo las sesio-
mes de la asamblea, indiferencia que
tiene sd or1gen en- Ia actitud de Ia de-
legacion del Estado de New York.
Los procedimientos seguidos en- ella
Ia hacen aparecer como un picnic de
personals bien vestidas que tomaron
sd diversion por 10 serio. El efecto
ha sido deprimente y tanto fue el dis
gusto de algunos delegados, que de
buen grado hubieran emprendido el
regreso sus hogares, dejando la
Convention que completase sus traba-
jos con los bancos vacfos.
A este prop6sito dice el NeaO York
Herald:
<Es cierto que el nombre del pre-
sidente Roosevelt fue victoreado dos
veces por la Convention, primero
cuando fu6 nombrado por ell goberna-
dor Van SAINT, de Minnesota, des-
pues cuando 10 cito en- su discurso
Elihu Root, que presid1a temporal
mente la Convention. La primer vez
fu6 aclamado durante cinco segundos,
por uno entire diez de los concurren-
ties: la segunda 10 fue durante treinta
segundos, y durante este tempo por
una tercera parte de los deleg ados y
espectadores. En- esos aplausos, los
delegadas de New York, con ell gober-
nador Odell q Ia cabeza, procediendo
como un solo individuo, no Sc unie-
ron. Algunos de ellos Sc pusieron de
pie con los delegados de otros Esta-
doe, pero la actitud y la decision de
los 78 ciudadanos enviados por New
York votar por su hijo favorito
Te ,doro Roosevelt, causaron el efec-
to de una ducha en- la Convention.
New York, el Estado natal del presi-
dente Roosevelt, fu6 considerable por
ell resto del pats como prop6sito pa
ra establecer la paz;-una paz muy
suave realmente.1
Como es facil comprender Ia acti-
deliberadamente adoptada, ha produ-
cido Ia mayor indignation entire los
republicanos del Oeste, que Sc han he

CLOTHING FOR CHILDREN.

Enough to Permit of Growth

= tt &A4.A 4 4 q 3
1t frequently happens that child Of
tender years is clad in well-f1tting gar
ments made to measure, or if purchased
ready made, fitting the body very ex-
actly. The child grows day by day,
but the garments do not grow, and
neither do they stretch readily in pro-
portion to the increasing size of the
body they cover, says the American
Queen. When stitches or buttons yield,
attention may be directed to the fact
that things are not as they should
be, but in the meantime a great deal
of mischief has been worked.
Unless parents are so situated finan-
cially that they can afford new gar
ments for child every few weeks, the
things purchased should exceed in
measurement that of the body parts
concerned. The only safe rule when
dealing with this question of size and
growth is thus: Compression may
never be exercised to the least imag-
Unable degree on any part Of the body.
If it is exercised, bodily development
will be hindered.
Custom requires us to clothe a child

ical But we can at least avoid in
f1icting on the helpless little one a
wrong greater than many that call
forth EXPLANATIONS of horror. Retard-
ing child's development is one of
those crimes perpetrated with inn
punity. Later, when undeveloped bust,
stopping shoulders, red nose and other
troubles make their appearance, the
sufferer is unable to trace the evils to
their source, and, having married, she
passes on the stunning treatment as a
kind of heirloom.

not hope to convince those who favor

THE New York platform is ambigu-
Gus, uncertain, evasive and dishonest.
1t would disgrace the Democrats of the
nation to adopt such platform, and it
ought to defeat as an aspirant for a
Democratic nomination any man who
would be willing to have it go forth as
declaration of his views on public
questions. In Illinois, in Wisconsin, in
Michigan, in Minnesota, in Indiana, in
Ohio and in every other state that has
not acted it behooves the Democrats to
arouse themselves and organize to the
end that they may prevent the consum-
nation of the schemes of the reorgan-
izers.

his VAULT OF TIN
Rothschild's Federal Bank
Safe a Hollow Mockery.
FRONTED BY MASSIVE STEEL BARS
Receiver strove For "a Week to oh
tain Entrance and Finally Went
to the Rear and Showed 1t In
With His Shoulder.

NEW YORK, April 25.-The most in
teresting developments in the investiga-
ton OF the affairs of David Rothschild
and of the wrecked Federal Bank and
Globe Security company have been
that Rothschild's massive and impos-
ing safety vault in the Globe company
Offices was made of painted tin.
The tin vault discovery was a great
surprise. For nearly a week Receiver
McKeen and his counsel, j. HI. Brew
ster, strove to get into the safety
vault of the company, whose offices
are on the seventh floor OF the Tract
Society building.
The vault is in the cashiers de-
partment and is most impressive look
ing from the front When William
Muirhead and other officers of the
Globe failed to appear ana reveal the
combination Mr.. McKeen and Mr..
Brewster did not know what to do.
They didn't want to use force to get
into the vault, as they thought dyna-
mite would have to be employed.
The front of the vault is of heavy
glazed brick. with great stone pillars
on each side and an immense steel
door in the middle, and 1t looked as
solid as a rock. This steel door Lis.
fitted with scores Of bolts all brightly
polished. In front of the door is a
great steel barred gate.
Viewed over the marble counters of
the cashiers department, the vault
looks strong enough to withstand pro-
jectiles from a twelve inch gun.
Since Mr.. Brewster has been in
charge of the Globe offices he has
found so many curious things connect
ed with the concern that he decided
to attack the redoubtable vault from
the rear.
To get at the rear wall, supposedly
Of stone and steel, 1t was necessary to
pass through a labyrinth of passages,
partitions and doors. Mr.. Brewster
threaded this maze and then came up
against massive looking wall appar
emily of steel and brick forming the
rear Enclosure of the vault.
Wearied, he leaned against it, when
to- his establishment it yielded. He
raped on 1t with his knuckles. 1t was
tin. The appearance of steel and brick
was paint.
Mr.. Brewster put his shoulder
against the wall, and a big section of
it caved in, throwing him into the
vault. Then he found that the strong
box, except the front, was really built
Of the thinnest kind of corrugated iron.
Its power of resistance is about equal
, to cardboard
The front of the vault, with its mag
ni1cent appearance of impressive solid
ity, was merely built by Rothschild to
fool the people doing business with the
concern and make them think the com
pany's affairs were of an important
financial character which required
great safes to hold millions in securi-
ties and cash.
