Business ON the markets closed

conditions which prevailed during the
most of the week The market was
lifeless in advance of the holiday
trading having practically come TO a

tide one way or the other. Probabili-
ties are that with the rest which two

A parlor ear for vagrant dogs is
practically what has been designed
by Walter Cecil Cox, of Denver. Col,
who is a dog fancier and has given
special attention to the subject of
the care of vagrant dogs. He has
travelled far and wide in the investi-
cation of dog pounds and has de-
signed number of improvements
TO render the dispatehing of vagrant
dogs more humane. His latest work
has been the design of wagon. or
ambulance, for the transportation of
the stray animals gathered up on
the streets of the large cities. The
chief feature is the provision of
eight compartments of different di-
mansions so that the smaller canine
prisoners may not be subject to in
jury from the attacks of larger an
imals which may be confined In the
same pen. Provision is made for
thoroughly cleansing the wagon after
use and for the proper ventilation of
the interior when II is in service.

ture, and the applause for La Toilette
merged into the futile, stupid attempt
to stampede the crowd to Roosevelt,
yelling continued.
1t was quieted as the roll call on
president began and continued down
to Iowa. There a silence fell, and con-
tinued until Taft was nominated.
Now written down here in thou
sand words, this seems like the story
of stirring episode. Yet it covers
events that lasted from 10 O'Clock
until $50. There was some formal
cheering Of something like two and
sixelevenths seconds for each of the
allies, and this is the best part of it

gloom.
Abner Handy Talks.
But to go back to some of the earlier
days OF the convention, some of the
days before the fireworks were all ex-
ploded, the days when only the fuses
were sizzling. 1t was on Sunday, /
think, that l met my friend Handy
Abner Handy from the Ninth Kansas
district. Mr. Handy, who has been out
of politics in Kansas since 1902, was
unable to get to the convention before
Sunday on account of floods in the
Kaw bottoms, and until his arrival the
pre-convention milling had been rath-
er tame. But the arrival OF Mr. Handy
in his Prince Albert coat and black
slouch hat, with his massive head of
hair protruding flercely, and his little
Sits Of eyes keenly measuring up the
situation-Mr. Handy is an expert on
"the situation"-added new life to the
crowd in the Annex, and one may say
that the convention began with his ar
rival.

Mr.. Handy, as he lolled in a red plush

The Idaho Springs siftings-news., 1908-06-27

He assured the convention that
under Fairbanks there would be no
government by impulse" and the
crowd knew what he was driving at,
and his usefulness as an orator was
ended.
New York has a sense Of humor,
and when the delegation was called
for New York the delegates rose
laughing and let Gen. Woodford make
the shortest and most appropriate
speech of the day, nominating Hughes.
And when he said that only two men
beyond a doubt could carry New York
one being in the White House and
the other in the governors office at
Albany-he made the crowd restive
and quit just before his credit gave

The Clarion Note.
The only real clarion note OF the
convention was sounded by Knight
OF California, seconding Taft's nom
ination. For Knight has a voice, and

with proper eclat and without too
much windjamming.
And If the young football player,
Cochem OF Wisconsin, who gave the
convention La Follettes name, had
cut his speech in two, it would have
made the hit of the afternoon. But
he slid past the crowds limit, and the
smile which captivated every one
wore on and he grew angry, and the
subsequent proceedings interested
him no more"

A Roosevelt Convention.
For that convention was for Roose-
welt policies only when 1t had them
in the regular order and the authen-
ticated form. The Roosevelt policies,
as such, did not interest the conven-
ton, for it was under orders and took
only the real milk of the word as 1t
came through the committee, and it
believed, and probably with some JUS
tification, in the fact that Roosevelt
did not care to have his policies come
into the convention by way Of Wis
consin.
So it voted for the program and
went on to the next order And the
next order was the nomination of a
president. And that is serious bust
ness
1t is curious to know just how forms
and conventions and precedents are
worshiped without sense or reason by
apparently clear-headed men. But
there sat 1000 delegates and 10000
spectators and listened to five mortal
hours of utterly useless, entirely mean
ingless and absolutely vacuous
speeches. These speeches were made
