Weather, crop and trade reports dis
play irregularity. 1t has been too wet
and cool in the Southwest and Northwest
for best retail trade and crop develop
ments, but east of the Mississippi river
conditions have been better and more
favorable reports come from the latter
sections. In wholesale lines evidences of
improvement in fall buying are seen, but
purchasers are generally cautious, while
sales for immediate shipment are confined
to strictly flling-in requirements. Polt-
ical and crop uncertainties seem likely to
influence distant purchases for some time
to come, and trade is hardly better than
quiet to fair the country over.

Food for the school Children.

Against the advice and desire of the
regular charity organizations of New
York, a special committee for the relief
of the starving school children on the
crowded East Side has taken up the
work of relieving immediate distress by
opening a free lunch room with the money
contributed by the public. Admission
is by tickets which are distributed by
the teachers, but the tickets are marked
price CENTS" and that price will be
charged to those seeking admission at
the door, This is done to relieve the
children from feeling that they are OBJ
jects of charity" The regular charity
workers insist that the condition of the
children on the East Side is no worse
than in other parts of the city, and that
it is the regular thing, anyway. Supt.
Maxwell of the city schools is again adj
vocating his Plan for public school meals
at the public expense. The Central Fed
Grated Union appointed a committee to re-
sist the idea of charity and insist on
giving the poor a chance to work.

national committee The work of the
committee aroused considerable bitter
ness, with the result that threats of
a minority repo~ It were made. Mayor
Charles A Bookwalter, of Indianapo-
lis, was the champion of the ''allies3
and was outspoken in his charges of
gag rule" declaring the committee
railroaded the contests and denied the
minority a fair hearing. With chorus
of yeas" and many Mays the report
of the credentials committee, seating
the contested delegates in the same
manner as the national committee
ruled. was adopted by the convention.
The committee on permanent organ
ization next made its report, which was
adopted and Senator Henry Cabot
Lodge of Massachusetts, was intro
duced as permanent chairman. He was
given a rousing greeting and at once
plunged into his speech.
Senator Lodge had been speaking for
nearly half an hour. He had mentioned
the President frequently. but never by
name, while he worked gradually up
from discussion of the Republican
party's achievements TO consideration
of the Roosevelt policies. Then, per-
haps, the greatest tribute ever accorded
an American citizen in a political gath
ering was given Theodore Roosevelt
For forty-seyen minutes the delegates
and spectators cheered the name of the
President in the face of the most posi-
tive and authoritative assurances that
he would not accept denomination at
the hands of the convention. More than
1900 persons Joined in a demonstra-
ton that filed the great convention
hall with a mingled pandemolium of
individual hurrahing and organized
roofing. Men and women, shouting
themselves hoarse, climbed on chairs
while they waved hats, canes, hand

CHICAGO.

Next TO the Immediate stimulant from
the lower costs established for various
steer makes, the most important favorable
development was the government forecast
OF the early crops and its magnificent
promise under normal conditions of ag-
ricultural enrichment. Business gener-
ally reflects a strengthened tone and the
outlook has brighter aspect, although
the volume of new demands in manufac-
turing branches does not yet show the ex-.
pansion expected. Where heavy commit
ments are involved definite action is with
held until after the deliberations of the
Republican convention next week. En-
enlargement is depended upon from that
source in aiding recovery from trade de-
preston. 1t is desirable that Endorsement
should be placed upon the effort TO secure
more adequate waterways and minimum
freight cost for the promotion of this
city'S commerce.
Seasonable weather greatly aided the
activity in retail dealings, and the demand
for men and women's apparel, housewares
and vacation goods made a gratifying adj
vance. Merchandise stocks have under
gone sharp reduction, and this has caused
frequent repenishments for both local and
country needs
Mercantile collections throughout the
interior occasion little trouble, and the
record of defaults maintains the recently
noted betterment.

prayer. The delegates and the visitors
joined the minister.
Chairman Burrows interrupted the
regular order of business long enough
to introduce to the convention Henry
Baker, of Minnesota, and James D.
Conner, of Indiana, two gray-haired
veterans of the party who were dele
gates to the first Republican convention
in 1856. MeSsrs. Baker ald Conner
were greeted with continuing rounds of
applause as they stepped to the front
of the platform and bowed their ac-
acknowledgements.
On motion of Mr.. Warren, of Michi-
gan, the convention invited to a place
on the platform A. G. Proctor, of ST
Joseph, Mich, who was a delegate IL
the Lincoln convention in Chicago
forty-eight years ago.
Parade of Marching Clubs.
1t was next announced that while
waiting for the report of the committee
on credentials there would be a parade
through the hall of visiting and local
marching clubs. AS the uniformed
marchers swept through the hall en-
thusiasm broke loose. When the band
played ''The Star-Spangled Banner
every man, woman and child jumped
up. Cheers shook the roof of the big
hall
The credentials committee of the con-
vention, in an all-night session, had
disposed of all the contests, and in
every case upheld the decision of the

Henry Cabot Lodge raped the conven-
ton to order for the start on the fourth
days session he faced hundreds of va
cant chairs in the galleries and not a
few delegates were absent.
When the delegates entered the Coli
scum to name a running mate to Secre-
tary William II. Taft it was practical
ly settled that Congressman James S.
Sherman of New York would get the
nomination for the Vice Presidency.
Conferences extending far into the
night had made apparently appreciate
progress toward clearing up the situa-
ton. New York State, in a caucus,
had suddenly dropped its waiting atti-
tude, buried the differences which had
kept the Empire State from being
much of a factor in the convention,
and pressed to the forefront of the vice
presidency situation with its solid
strength of seventy-6ight votes behind
Congressman Sherman.
With the elimination of Senator Dol
liver and Governor Cummins, of Iowa,
assurances of support for Sherman by
several other States and general real
izatiOn of the pivotal value of New
York's thirty-nine electoral votes gave
this move on the part of New York
an Importance instantly recognized by
all the leaders,
When the convention opened there
was evident desire on the part of both
delegates and officers to rush through
the task remaining of nominating a
Vice President, reading off the names
of committees to notify the two nomi-
ness and adjournment. Sherman was
nominated and chosen on the first bal
lot, and the fourteenth Republican Ma
four days, had completed its work.
