Chicago, June 1S.-The delegates
TO the Republican National Conven-
ten, gathered in the Coliseum on
Tuesday, we're called to order by
Senator Julius Caesar Burrows, of
Michigan, and the seventh session Of
the party in Chicago had begun. The
platform, which will be submitted
to the Committee on Resolutions,
and unless all predictions fail will
be recommended for adoption is as
follows:
Once more the Republican Party,
in National Convention assembled,
submits its cause to the people. This
great historic organization that de-
stroyed slavery, preserved the union,
restored credit expanded the Nation
a. domain, established q sound fl
nancial system, developed the indus
tries and resources of the country,
and gave to the Nation her seat of
honor in the councils Of the world,
now meets the new problems OF gov-
srnment with the same courage and
capacity with which it solved the
old.
In this, the greatest era of Ameri-
can advancement the Republican
Party has reached it's highest SER
rice under the leadership of Theo-
aore Roosevelt His Administration
is an epoch in American history
Under the guidance of Republican
principles the American people have
become the richest Nation in the
world. Our wealth to-day exceeds
that of England all her colonies and
hat of France and Germany COM
oined. The United States now owns
9ne-fourth of the worlds wealth, and
makes one-third of all manufactured
products. In the great necessities
sf civilization, such as coal and mo-
i've power of all activity; iron, the
chief basis of all industry; cotton,
;he staple foundation of oil fabrics;
wheat, corn, and all the agricultural
products that feed mankind Ameri-
IAN supremacy is undisputed.
Nothing so clearly demonstrates
5he SOUND basis upon which our COM
nercial, Industrial, and agric lltural
interests are founded, and the neces-
;ity of promoting their continued
Welfare through the operation of
Republican policies. us the recent
passage of the American people
through a financial disturbance.

STAMPEDE IMPROBABLE.
Tafts Managers Have Matters Well
In Hand and Do Not Fear

1ait managers Have Matters WeIl
In Hand and Do Not Fear.
Chicago, June 18.-The absolute
domination of this convention by the
President was clearly demonstrated
In its opening hours.
The only time the convention got
away from the Washington regula-
tions was when Senator Burrows,
temporary chairman. declared that
the power of the courts must not be
curtailcd The greatest cheer of the
day followed this declaration.
Some things stood out like cleo
trio mares. The first is that there is
no real enthusiasm for Taft. When
ever his name was mentioned 1t was
cheereG. but it was manufactured
enthusiasm.
The second is that the delegates
are all for Roosevelt, but when his
name was mentioned 1t was plain
that the Presiden, held a burr bit
Oh the enthusiasm.
The real trouble of the conven-
tion started when the platform
drafters met. A long wrangle about
the anti-injunction plank, womans
suffrage and other issues followed.
There is no doubt that the b,tterest
fight of the convention will be over
the anti-injunction plank. A poll
says that the Presidents wishes In
this direction will be beaten by a
score of 26 to 2S, but this IL not au-
thentlc.
There is the bitterest kind of feel
Ing, and Speaker Cannon Is leading
the anti-injunction fight. He has
rallied strong support, and it Is con-
sidered probable that there will be
en- emasculated plank of this kind.
II 1t Is not eliminated altogether.
The Developments of the day show
no change in the nomination situa-
tlon. II Is probable that the name
OF the President Will be presented to
the convention. but the Taft mana
gers have the matter so well in hand
that any stampede seems improba.

Chicago, June 1S.--A real fight is

GETS LIVING FROM THE WIND.
Burlington, Ind, Man Collects Cement
Dust and Mods 1t Into Blocks.

Chicago.-John Kelly of Burlington,
Ind, once was truck farmer, making
a bare living. Now he is an opulent
manufacturer of cement blocks with
an income of SIS and little outlay.
All this is due to the fact that the
wind happens to be blowing Kelly's
way, and it is not an 'i,l wind" either
Kelly's home is two blocks from the
cement works of the Illinois Steel
Company at Burlington, where s3.-
100000 plant grinds Stag and converts
1t into Portland cement When the
wind blows of the lake clouds Of ce-
ment-laden dust envelop the Kelly
home and the Kelly truck farm.
The owner, in the hope of saving his
garden greens. recently constructed
an immense shield of the billboard
type at the rear end of his lot, facing
the cement plant When the cement
dust comes his way 1t strikes the
board and falls in q pile at the base
Of the shield
After that all that Kelly has to 90
is to scoop up some gravel, mix 1t
with the cement and mold the mass
into blocks, for which he finds ready
