Displacement of Beer by Whis-
key Causes Her to Strike
Note of Regret.

NM ARIE CORELLI has again
AVA stirred England to the depths.
Her latest novel, "Holy Or
'ders," which was published August 81,
is in many respects the strongest thing
she has done.
Holy Orders" is a very ~porcupine
of a book. 1t fairly bristies with quilts,
which are so many arrows aimed at
the British Parliament, the general
government, Mr.. Balfour, Mr.. Glad
stone. the press, the smart set, the
read hog, the brewer, the millionaire,
the whiskey dealer, Southern lynch
ing, the trust problem, the title-hunt-
ing heiress, the Salome dance, etc,
etc.
But primarily and fundamentally the
book is a temperance novel, and one
OF the most remarkable ever published.
The story of Holy Orders doesn't
matter much, although 1t Is very full
of tragedy and thrill, and h plot
sounds rather melodramatic when told
in synopsis. 1t is what Miss Corelli
says that makes the book such a seller
loo, 900 copies were sold on the week
of issue. Speaking of drinking in Par
lament, she sc.ys:
Even the House of Commons itself
grows less and less digni6ed as time
goes on. 1t shows n tendency on oc-
casion to sink to the vague vitupera-
tive condition common to old washer
women at the tubs edge. And, by the
way, what an amount of drinking goes
on among the members of that honor

capacity of the intelligent stranger at

TAFT AS PRESIDENT:
 SHERMAN FOR MATE,
 IS REPUBLICAN, SLATE
Convention at Chicago Selects Ma tional Ticket and Adjourns==WiId Enthusiasm on Nomination of OhiOan==DemOnStra for
 Theodore Roosevelt

Amid this pandemonium, and with the galleries in full control, Chairman Lodge decided upon heroic action in order again to make the convention master of it's affairs. He ordered the roll call of states to begin for the vote on president Such a call, under such circumstances of intense con fusion, has probably never before oc- cured in the history of national con ventions. The secretary was power less to make his call of the states heard above the deafening clamor Seizing megaphone he shouted the roll of states-Alabama Arkansas but his voice was swallowed up in the mad uproar. Gradually, however, the curiosity of the multitude conquered their enthusiasm, and they lapsed into silence to hear the result of the roll call.
 A hush of expectancy hung over the assembly as the call proceeded Nasty summaries showed that Taft was far in advance. When New York was reached the Taft column totaled 427. Ohio carried the Taft total to 511, or 20 more than enough to nom- mate. Still the call went on until the final result was announced by Chair man Lodge:
 For Theodore Roosevelt, votes; for Joseph B. Forakar of Ohio 16 votes; for Charles w. Fairbanks of Indiana, 40 votes; for Joseph Cannon of Illinois, 61 votes; for Robert La Fol lette of Wisconsin, 25 votes; for Charles B. Hughes of New York, 63 votes; for Philander c. Knox of Penn of Ohio, TOP votes.
 A great shout went up as Lodge concluded his announcement, and with one accord the cohorts of Cannon and Knox and Hughes and the other heroes, joined in common tribute for the candidate of the party.
 Sherman for Second Place.
 The nomination for the vice-presi. dency was not made until Friday. When the convention adjourned for the day Thursday the situation re- garding second place on the ticket was decidedly unsettled, but before the del. egates met Friday an arrangement had been perfected for the Taft delegates to support Representative James S. Sherman of New York as the running mate of the secretary of war.
 Three names were placed in nomi- nation when the chairman announced that nominations were in order. Sher- man was named as New York's choice by Tim Woodruff, former lieutenant governor of the state; Gov Curtis Guild of Massachusetts was placed in nomination by Senator Lodge, and Ex- Gov. Franklin Murphy of New Jersey was named by Thomas N. McCarter. Several brief seconding speeches were made for each candidate.
 When the roll call was begun it was soon seen that Sherman was the popu- lar choice of the delegates. When enough votes had been cast to insure his nomination Senator Crane of Massachusetts moved that it be made unanimous and it was carried with shout of approval
 The usual motions of acknowledg- ment to the officers of the convention and to the city in which it was held were then passed.

 Roosevelt Demonstration.
 The second day of the Republican national convention brought the long expected Roosevelt yell, whirlwind of enthusiasm which ragged within the vast amphitheater of the Coliseum for full 45 minutes Wednesday, and for a time presented to the timid the spec ter of a Roosevelt stampede.
 This demonstration was decidedly the feature of day otherwise notable for a stirring speech from the perma- nent chairman of the convention, Sen- ator Henry Cabot Lodge of Massachu- setts, for much practical procedure in placing the convention on smooth running basis, and for the final defeat of the plan to reduce the representa- tion of southern states at future na- tional conventions.
 Mr Lodge early in his address launched his sentence which electri- fled the assemblage into it's first real demonstration of wild enthusiasm.
 The president" exclaimed Mir. Lodge, ''is the best abused and most popular man in the United States to- day"
 This was the long awaited signal. Instantly a shout broke from the gal leries and was echoed back from the floor, at first only a tempest of de- tached yells, and cat-calls. and shouts of Freddy" but gradually gathering force and volume until it swelled to a whirlwind of sound ard motion, as delegates and spectators rose en masse, mounting chairs, waving ban ners. hats. handkerchiefs. flags, news papers, anything which could be seized upon to add turbulence to the scene.

PLATFORM AT A GLANCE.

Roosevelt-
 The abuse of wealth, the tyranny of power. and the evils of privilege and favoritism have been put to scorn by him. We pledge con- tinuance of the Roosevelt policies. Anti-Injunction-
 The Republican party will uphold the authority of the courts, but be- lieves the rules of procedure in federal courts with respect to in functions should be more accurate ly defined by statute, and that no injunction should be issued without notice.
 Labor
 The same wise policy will be pur- sued to tighten the burdens of all who toll.
 Tariff
 The Republican party declares for a revision of tariff by a special session of congress. We favor the establishment of maximum and minimum rates.
 Money
 An expanding commerce . and increasing crop movements disclose the need of a more elaS- tic and adaptable system. Trusts
 The government should have greater supervision over corpora tions engaged in interstate com merce.
 Inland WaterWays-
 We call for large and compre- hensive plan to improve the water ways, harbors, and great lakes. Army and Navy
 While the American people do not desire and will not provoke a war with any other country, we nevertheless declare our devotion to a policy which will keep this republic ready at all times to de- fend her traditional doctrines. Good Roads
 We approve the efforts of the ag- rlcultural department in good road construction.
 Negroes
 We condemn all devices for the disfranchisement of the negro. Republican Policy The difference between Democ- racy and Republicanism is that one stands for vacillation and ti- midity in government, the other for strength and purpose. Democ- racy would have the nation own the people, while Republicanism would have the people own the na- tion.

Decided That Tips Are Wages.

That tips are wages has been de- cided by the appeals court of England. The case came before it in claim made under the workmens compensa- tion act, in behalf of waiter who was accidentally killed in a dining car. It was contended by his dependents that the true basis of reckoning was the mans wages plus his tips The lower court denied this, but on appeal it was held that tips are to be regarded as wages when the giving and receiving of them are open and notorious"

Chicago. Taft and Sherman. This is the ticket of the ~Repub- lican party flung to the breeze Fri yention concluded with the nomination of James S. Sherman of New York for vice-president amid a final roar of tumultuous demonstration.
 Scene of Wild Enthusiasm.
 The picture within the walls of the vast amphitheater as the presidential candidate was named Thursday was one truly gradiose in it's magnitude. In front, to the right and left, below and above, the billowing sea of hu- manity, restless after hours of wait ing and stirred from one emotion to another, was in a fever of expectancy for the eliminating vote. The favorite sons of other states had been named, save Knox and La Toilette, and now on the roll call came Ohio.
 As the Buckeye state was reached, the tall, gaunt form of Theodore E. Burton, with student-like face and severe black clerical garb, advanced to the platform to nominate Ohios can- didate. He spoke fervently, with the singing voice of an evangelist, which went ringing through the great build ing. The close of his speech of nomination was the signal for loosing the long pent-up feeling of the Taft legions. Instantly the Ohio delegates were on their feet, other Taft states following, while the convention hosts, in gallery and on floor, broke into mad demonstration. For 10, 15, 20 minutes, this uproar continued. At last. the tired voices died down to a hoarse shout. and subsided
 Seconded by Knight.
 This Hull now gave the opportunity for the speech seconding Taft's nom- nation, by George H. Knight of Cali fornia. his big, round face beaming forth on the sympathetic multitude, and his splendid baritone voice we'll ing forth like the tones of a great church organ. California's tribute to Taft was brief and fervid Now there was another Hull in the Taft movement, while the remaining candidates were placed in nomination.
 It was late in the afternoon before the convention, now literally swelter- ing with the intense heat and weary after nearly seven hours of continuous session, reached the end of the flood or eloquence and the decks were at last cleared for the eliminating act.
 Demonstration for La Toilette.
 But, no; just as the last swell of oratory, the seconding speech for La Toilette, had died away, like a cyclone from clear sky burst a La Toilette demonstration which swept the con- vention from its very bearings. It was the same deafening wave Of sound that had greeted Roosevelt Wednesday and Taft little while before, intense and maddening and with the vital ring of genuine enthusiasm. It seemed as though Wisconsin had suddenly peo- pied every foot of the galleries. The delegates sat calm and waiting, ex- cept the frantic Wisconsins, but the convention for the time being was in the possession of the galleries.
 Now a singular transformation oc- cured = gradually the whirlwind veered from La Toilette to Roosevelt.
