j. w. Slayton, of Pennsylvania, with
10 votes, and G. W. Woody, the negro
Socialist from California, who was
given one vote.
Amid the most exciting scenes ever
witnessed at n Socialist gathering, and
the most exciting speeches ever deliv-
cred before a Socialist body in Ameri-
ca, Phil Gallery, of Missouri, placed
the name of Debs before the delegates
as the only standard bearer for the
party to consider in the campaign that
they expect to be the greatest ever gone
through.
1t was speech in which the
cheers came long before the name of
Debs was mentioned, and when the
speaker had taken his seat it was amid
the widest applause and weeping on
the part of both many men and women.
1t was a speech in which Roosevelt was
mathematical, Taft ridiculed and Will
liam Jennings Bryan held to contempt.
The naming of Meyer, Haywood and
Petitions brought out cheers, and it
was in connection with their names
and the alleged persecution of them as
leaders of the working class that the
name of President Roosevelt was held
up to the scorn and hatred of the So
cialists. The weak stand that Bryan
took at the time of the trial of the
miners was held in contempt and in
light cOmDariSOn with the attitude of
the Nebraskan toward the Filipinos.

Rear Admiral Winfield Scott Schley,
retired, will be offered the secretaryship
of the navy in case William ]. Bryan is
elected President, according to a Wash
ington report.
The national conference of negroes at
Philadelphia, attended by delegates from
thirty-seven States, Endorsed Foraker or
Knox for President, saying that neither
Taft nor Roosevelt could get the negro
vote.
Leading Democrats of Pennsylvania,
New Jersey, Delaware and Maryland met
at Philadelphia and organized the George
Gray League, for the purpose of pushing
the candidacy of Judge Gray for Presi-
dent.
Many Republicans of st. Paul and Min
neapolis have sent letters to Washington
urging the appointment of Judge David
2. Simpson of Minneapolis, as successor
to Judge Lochren on the federal district
bench for Minnesota.
The Delaware Republican State con-
vention at Dover decided to send dele
gates to Chicago not instructed for any
candidate, the convention being controlled
by Senators Du Pont and Richardson and
the friends of Taft being defeated. The
platform indorses the administration and
favors tariff revision.
If the assertions of the political man
ayers may be credited, the two presi-
Dental candidates this year are as good
as chosen by the Republican and Demo-
cratic parties, namely, Taft by the for
mer and Bryan by the latter. Up to
April % the Taft managers had counted
500 delegates to the national convention
pledged to their man, and 491 is ma
jority. This estimate did not include
any Southern State, where there is a
contest. The Bryan bureau at Lincoln
claimed that three-fourths of the Demo
cratic delegates were on record for their
man.
Two Republican conventions were held
at Rockford, \. D., and two sets of dele
gates were elected to represent Eddy
county at the State convention in Minot
The insurgents were in control of the
organization, and when a '.stalwaN" ap-
peared with no credentials from his pre-
cinct save those signed by himself, he
was turned down. He bolted the conyen-
ton. and with some others held another
session at which another set of delegates
was elected.
The dominant faction in the New York
Republican party is said to have selected
George B. Cortelyou, now Secretary Of
the Treasury, as a candidate for Governor
to succeed Hughes.

Photographs Without Camera.

The first American account of the won
derful new process of relief photography
announced by NJ. LipIsnann of Paris has
appeared in the Washington Pathfinder
Lippmann is the specialist who invented
the system of color photography by means
of the interference of light rays His
relief plates require no camera lens or
plate holder but are virtually automatic
in reproducing the object or objects to
which it is exposed in such a way that
you get a different view every time you
look at the picture from different di-
rection, just as the real object would The
plates are formed out of two films of
collodion, which have been stamped in
sort of microscopic honeycomb pattern
in such way as to bring the depressions
exactly opposite one another and form
sheet of very tiny globes, each one of
which is an eye or camera lens in itself
They are so minute that there are about
$4,000 of them to the square inch. Their
walls are rendered Opaque with a pig
ment, except at the side toward the OBJ
ject. and the interior surfaces are sensi-
TIED. In this way the object is repro
duced in myriad of aspects. The pro-
cess requires great skill at present, but
the inventor hopes to bring it to a COM
mercial basis.

Saiuting the Fox.

The custom of taking off the hat by
way of saiutation to a fox when you
are not hunting him is probably merely
a variation of an act of courtesy eX-
changed between men in more warlike
days than these. The invaluable Brew
er tells us that taking off the hat is a
relic of the ancient custom of taking
off the helmet when no danger is nigh.
"A man takes off his hat to show that
he dares to stand unarmed in your
presence" The naval salute of dis
charging guns originally implied that
as no danger existed no guns would
be required, and the military fashion
of presenting arms is said to be tanta-
mount to Offering to give them up. The
fox that is surprised by pheasant shoot
ers may not make his retreat less eX-
peditiously because the shooters doff
their hats to him. but this is how the
custom arOse-Manchester Guardian.

POINTS PRESIDENT MADE
IN RESOURCES SPEECH

In his address to the resources con-
vention President Roosevelt made the
following points:
The convention is called TO consider
the weightiest problem before the nation
the conservation of natural resources.
The national resources are in danger of
exhaustion because of wasteful methods.
If Congress does not appropriate the
money to perpetuate the waterways COM
mission 1 will perpetuate it myself.
The vast wealth of lumber, coal, oil
and minerals and the riches of the soil
have made the conditions of life in this
country unparalleled for comfort and con-
venience.
The prosperity of the people depends
on how these natural resources are used.
The natural waterways have been in
iured by neglect and there is less navi-
CATION on them now than fifty years ago.
The mines, if used, must necessarily be-
come exhausted, and therefore they must
be used wisely.
Irrigation will add enormous tracts OF
the most valuable agricultural land.
We can enormously increase our trans
portation facilities by the canalization of
our rivers so as to complete a great sys-

South American Inns

A traveller who recently returned to
Philadelphia was narrating some of his
experiences in South America at a ban
Quet of globe trotters the other evening.
He had skirted the entire coast of
South America and had found the inns
sr hotels in most sections very poor.
So bad were they in Peru, he said, that
one American, who had been thrown in
to Jail pending some dispute over his
papers and after his release had sought
the hotel Of the town, returned the next
day to the Jail and begged that he
might be taken in.
The most curious sign he had seen
was in the window of a restaurant in
Buenos Aires, which read: American
