ANTl-INJUNcTION PLANK.
Friends of the Administration Realize the Seriousness of the Situation.

Chicago, June 17.-Beginning at ten resolution committee which is engaged in preparing the platform resumed it's work With the hope of completing it by four this afternoon, but at the lat ter hour was compelled to report that it was unprepared to present report and the full committee took an ad- journment to 9 D. m. At that hour the subcommittee was still wrestling with the antiinjunction plank and was vet not ready to report
 One of the members said: Tt Is pre- posterous to ask Secretary Taft to make the race for the presidency on a platform which is not to his liking especially in view of the fact that is is generally known that he has been giving much attentiors to framing the party's declarations of principles and policies. To do so would place him in the attitude Cleveland was placed when he was compelled in 1892 to re- pudiate his party's tariff plank and it is doubtful whether he would want to make the race under such conditions. It should also be borne in mind that the question of injunctions touches the labor cause, an element he has been accused of antagonizing and it Is very much the opposite of fair dealing to undertake to compel him to go be- fore the country on a platform which affords no assurance to this class of his friendly feeling towards them"
 It was learned that there was no period of the day when a vote could not have been taken in the sub-com- mittee and the antiinjunction plank carried, but it was feared that the re- suit was not so certain on coming De- fore the full committee. The support CTS of the plank therefore spared for delay. Another recess has been in progress since nine o'clock and pres sure is being brought to bear to in crease the strength in the full com mittee on the plank.
 For the first time since the fight began the friends of the administra- tion are apparently awakened fully to the seriousness of the situation. Dur ing the day they received telegrams from Washington expressing the views of both the president and Mir Taft. as to the necessity of an injunction plank. These messages were read to doubtful members of the committee. In these the president is said to have used very strong language in urging the wisdom Of the resolution.
 The injunction plank asserts that the republican party always has and always will uphold the processes and proceedings of the courts, and has ab- solute faith in their integrity and up- rightness. Nevertheless it believes that injunction practices should be so modified as to provide only where ir- reparable damage to property is inn minent. that courts may grant in functions without notice, and that specified and due notice shall be giv- en of impending injunction proceed ingS.

A THREAT OF ROOSEVELT
To lntiridate the Opponents of the
 Anti Injunction Plank.

Chicago, June 17.-"Gf the republican convention deliberately refuses to adopt platform on which Taft feels he can make winning race, the con vention will have to nominate a man who needs no platform to win
 While this statement is not being put forward as an actual ultimatum. it IS the principal weapon which the ad- vocates of the injunction plank of the platform are using to compel the com mittee on resolutions and the conven- ton itself to make such declaration
 lt IS their last resort and the mo- mentous import of the alternative inn piled. presents more strikingly than could anything else, the desperate straits to which the supporters of the injunction declaration has been driven by the persistent fight that has been made against it. The statement quoted was made tonight by member of the subcommittee preparing the platform, who is friendly to both Roosevelt and Taft

IF THE PLANK FAILS.
Taft Will Declare Himself in His Let
 ter of Acceptance.

Washington, June 17.-Secretary Taft was in constant communication today with his manager at Chicago and kept apace with the situation from incident to incident The reports of the committees to the convention were satisfactory both to the secretary and the president and there were import ant exchanges between Taft and his Chicago friends on the platform. es- pecialiy the anti-injunction plank
 The view here is that the plank will Le retained in the platform as agreed upon tentatively A rumor is in circu- lation here that if the plank be elim- mated, Taft, in the event of his nom ination. might find later a way, prob ably in his speech of acceptance to announce authoritively his own views on the subject.
 It is impossible to confirm the rum or either at the White House or the war department

THE VICE PRESIDENT.
The Second Day of the Convention Has
 Brought no Solution.

The developments of the day did not materially alter the vice presidential situation and opinion tonight is as it was this morning. that the nomination will go either to Fairbanks or Cum mins. The failure of the New York caucus to agree on the vice president ial situation is regarded as practically eliminating that state from the con- test. The New York position was that If the delegation could get together on the proposition they might have named the candidate but they could not get together. The friends of Representa- tive sherman appear to have a strong majority in the delegation but they seen to be unable to make it unani- nous. There are some delegates still for CortelyOu; others talked of State Chairman Woodruff. There is men tion by the strictly Hughes portion of the delegation of the name of General Woodford.

THE PRESIDENT HEARD IT ALL

Chicago, June 17.-It is said tonight that President Roosevelt vas an ac- tual listener to the wild demonstration of enthusiasm which greeted his name in the convention tOda-.
 Remarkable as this may seem, it is accounted for by the following circum- stances: Hanging ten feet above the heads of the delegates and immedi- ately in front of the platform were four black discs. loOped by wires and joined by a small central cable lead ing from the hall. Many wondered at these discs and believed them to be a part of the system for an electrical display.
 AS E. matter of fact the discs are a combination of telephone and phono- graph, taking up proceedings as they occur, and transmitting each swell of oratorY and each throb of enthusiastic applause. Accorling to the reports tonight, one of these wires was cut into the White House early this af- ternOon and the president with the re- ceiver at his ear, caught the words of Lodge and the echoing shouts.

Secretary Taft came over and with his usual good humored smile hurriedly went into the presidents private of flee.
 President Roosevelt had been care fully reading the bulletins as fast as they were received at the White House and both he and Taft were fully in formed of what was going on in the convention hall.' One sentence in the bulletin impressed him forcibly as in- dicating that not all the delegates were carried away by the excitement. The conference between the president and Taft may result in some message to the convention direct from the White House to restore normal conditions there

THE PERMANENT ORGANIZATION.

Temporary Chairman Burrows called the convention to order promptly at 1920, but a delay in the committees reporting gave an hour of diversion be- fore the serious work of the day was begun.F This time was given over to visiting clubs with bands and vocal chOruses. bearing banners with the strange devices of G. O. P. elephants. In fro of the delegates paraded a motley throng, eliciting laughter and applause. The hit of the parade was a glee club which halted before the Ohio delegation and varied the enliv- ing strains of Billy Taft. Yep. That's Me" with a mechanically dirge for Bryan This diversion over. the con- vention turned to the committee re- ports, the first of them being the cre- dentials, the very foundation Jn which the delegates had seats and votes.
 It was presented by Senator Fulton of oregon, in a thirteen minute speech, stating that the action of the national committee had been fully justified and upheld. For a moment the delegates looked about for the fire breathing Bookwalter of Indiana, who led the mi nOrity forces and had promised a live ly fight on the floor. But BoOkwalter sat with the Indiana delegation sf ak ing his head in answer to Inquiries, announcing that the fight had been

THE ROOSEVELT YELL
Which Shook the Coliseum From
 Foundation to Rafters.

Chicago, June 1.-The second day of the republican national convention brought the long expected Roosevelt lyell, whirlwind of enthusiasm, which ragged within the vast ampitheater col iseum fully forty-five minutes today. for a time presenting to the timid the spectre of thes Roosevelt stampede. The demonstration was decidedly the
 feature of a day, otherwise notable for
 a stirring speech from the permanent chairman, Senator Lodge of Massa
 chusetts, for much political procedure
 in placing the convention on a smooth running basis and the final defeat of
 the plan to reduce the representation from the southern states in future na- tional conventions. Probably the most important act of the day. one having the greatest sig
 nificance was the adoption of the re- port of the committee on credentials the seating of the Taft delegates prac-- tically in toto. If there had been any lingering doubt of the Taft strength it disappeared before this decisive ac tion which in effect placed more than 700 delegates in the Taft column.
 Equally important and even more re markable was the final acceptance of
 this result by the allies without the formality of a dissenting mironity re-
 port. and without carrying the ques- i ton to the floor of the convention for
 an open fight which had been long threatened. Instead of this, all fur 1 ther opposition seemed to crumble;
 and those who promised trouble quiet ! ly accepted the inevitable and thus ! the path was cleared for the fulfill ment of the plans already well ma tured for the nomination of the head | of the ticket. The favorite sons still
 have. however, bands of steadfast sup ! pOrters, who will show their loyalty when the first ballot is taken. 1 The scene within the coliseum today repeated that of yesterday in magni- tude. brilliancy and spectacular fea- lures. Again every seat was occupied.
 and the 14.OOO people packing the floors. aisles, galleries and platforms, joined in the ebb and flow of agitation land enthusiasm

THE WAGE.

And with what measure we mete,

Or well or i'll the work you do.
For all of it you have your meet
II shall be given back to you.
1t shall be rendered. soon or late
The warder of our final wage
We shall find standing at the gate,
His finger on the balanced page.
Some day. along the path of years,
Full suddenly we shall be paid
In coin of laughter or of tears
Such as our words and deeds have
made
Strange coin this warder gives to us;
The whitened hair, the palsied
hand.
The lips that humble. tremulous.
The words that none can under

Or he may give us from his store
The golden glow that thrills the
soul
For some kind action long before,
'Tis thus the warder pays the toll.
Aye, coin he gives that is unseen.
That on it's fellows does not ring
Gives to the courtly and the mean.
Gives to the william and the king;
Such coin as must forever burn

HONEST FAILURES.

1t is unfortunate. but true. that
the final test by which the public sets
the seal either OF approval or dis
approval upon man is his success
or failure.
For the man who succeeds even in
robbing bank. and gets away. We
have sneaking admiration; while
for the man who fails. even in carry
ing out some great unselfish philan-
thropic principle. we have open ridi-
Guile and secret contempt.
How much better are some of the
public than a pack of wolves? When
a wolf goes down the pack leaps up
on him and tears MIN to pieces.
There is this difference: Wolves
rend their unfortunate for the wolfsh
delight Of eating him; some of us
rend our unfortunate merely for the
human delight of rending him.
Whatever may be ones purpose, if
he fail there is ever a host of barb
tongued critics to call him dishonest
and an impostor
But if he succeeds, these same crit
les form the class that come crawling
upon their stomachs to him toadying
to him and wanting to lick his hand.
Dishonesty would be far less re-
spectacle and far less common were
not success in it so generally justi-
fed.
And honesty would be far more
heroic and venturesome were not
honest failure SO blindly condemned.
There would be no shame attached
to failure in an honest purpose. An
honest effort, even though it fail, is
far nobler than lack of courage to
make the effort.
Honest failures are never lost
forces
The failures of one generation
blaze the trail to the successes of the
next.
