Roosevelt" Starts Cheers


It was not until 1918 that Chairman
New stilled the tumult and with brief
formalitles introduced the temporary
presiding officer of the convention.
Senator Burrows. The venerable sena-
tor stepped forward with a ponderous
roll of manuscript in his hand. Slowly
the buzz of confusion died away and
he began to speak. His first words
were barely audible five feet away.
Gradually he warmed to his subject,
for he told of the glories of the party
he had served so long. and the well
rounded sentences carried to the reno
test corners, hammered in here and
there by an expressive gesture. But it
was not speech calculated to set the
blood tingling. 1t dealt with the
pary's record and achievements.
Not until the senator made the first
mention of Roosevelt" did the words
seem to start the assemblage as by a
magic thrill. Instantly the speech
was drowned in great shout, which
went up from every side as delegates
sprang to their feet. waved their hats.
echoing back the tumult of the galleries,
TAFT and Root Remembered
For a moment it seemed as though
one of those record-breaking uproars
of the days Of Blaine and Mckinley
would sweep the convention from its
mornings. But the first outburst
spent itself within a minute; gradual
ly it subsidized until calm came again,
and soon the orator was proceeding
with the record of the party's achieve
ments. Every succeeding mention of
the presidents name brought another
wave Of enthusiastic tribute. The
names of Taft and Root also sent the
cheers ringing from gallery to gallery.
But those whirlwinds of noisy dem
Onstration which have fairly carried
some conventions off their feet did not
occur. Beside the names of the popu-
ar idols, the speaker awakened a stir
1f enthusiasm for the navy, the IMAM
behind the gun" the continued occupa-
Jon Of the Philippines, and a tariff re-
vision which would give lust and ade- |
Iuate protection to American indus |
ry. These policies appeared to appeal |
strongly to the assemblage. but the |
greatest enthusiasm on a question OF |
)olicy came when he delivered his
ervid apotheosis to the American
as the great conservative bull

A Decidedly Close Contest

With the subsistence Of the Roose-
welt storm, Lodge completed his STIR
ring speech, and then the convention
turned TO the reports OF the other COM
mittees. That on rules and order OF
business brought a majority report
against the resolution offered by Mr.
Burke Of Pennsylvania reducing the
representation Of states 10 a basis Of
the Republican vote cast by those
states. Burke presented a minority re-
port in which seventeen OF the states
concurred.
A sharp contest occurred on this
question, bringing for the first time be-
fore the convention some Of its best
known orators. The resolution was
finally defeated. by the close vote Of SOC
against AL. a margin Of IL votes in
total Of ga, three delegates being abb
sent The change Of q single state
might have altered the entire result.
Although defeated. Burke said the re.
suit had shown a tremendous growth
of sentiment in favor OF this re-
stricted representation. and that In bis
opinion the future success Of the plan
appeared beyond doubt

The scenes when the vast assem-

back Of them their alternates. another
thousand in number. with the stand

Carter of Williams in his address

Seminary says, $50 may this be-

years of the first century 1--WE can

its walls to fit themselves for the
blessings of their fellowmen and the
honor of the divine Lord. Yet
others, and mostly the alumni, see
no sun of hope to illume the path

and grief, they say in effect,
" Be it ever so humble, there is no
place like home.

King Edward visited Car Mich
olas and all Europe was agog. In
fact, so much did the visit arouse
Europe that the English Foreign
Secretary announced that there
would be no negotiations for new
treaties during the visit. This quiet
ed the talk of a formal triple al
lance between France and Russia
and Great Britain. However, the
visit had some good effect out on
the India frontier. That the visit
of the Lion to the Bear will have
diplomatic results, no one can ser
iously doubt, because that is the
way it is done across the water.
Should a triple alliance result, it

Governor Hughes has won out,
and the necessary majority for the
anti-race track gambling bills was
gained at the special session. The
victory was won by the election of
a new senator and by one senator
leaving a sick bed to be present to
vote. 1t was a one vote victory.
This has been a most sensational
fight. At the regular session the
vote was a tie. At the close of the
session Governor Hughes took the
stump in favor of the bill, and by
a small majority a new senator fav-
orable to the bill was elected and a
special session was called. The
illness of one of the senators caused
the Governor to delay his message
on the anti-gambling bills until late
in the session and then that senator
risked his life to be in his place to
vote. 1t has been a long, stubborn
fight, but New York politicians know
that Gov Hughes is not a gutter.

mechanical reproduction and has
the portrait of Mckinley. Some
of us would look twice at a ten
dollar bill, anyway, because they
are something of a curiosity. How
ever, if the counterfeiting is badly
enough done, we would probably
be able to detect the fraud even if
we haven't had much practice.

We hear much of the union of
church and state in European coun-
tries, but we in America are scarcely
in a position to understand all the
elements that enter into the con-
troversy. At the very beginning Of
our country, we as nation guar
anteed religious liberty to all along
with the other liberties of being
created free and equal; but at the
outset religious duties and civic
duties were made Independent of
each other. 1t has worked well,
despite the fact that we are living
under a far from perfect system
of government. Pope Plus eX-
pressed the fact that the union of
church and state is a success here in
his words to Bishop Mcdonnell of
Brooklyn when he said "If the sep
aration of Church and State would
result in the same profound respect
being shown the Catholic Church as
in the case of America, | would
earnestly and quickly ask for such
separation everywhere. " We may
say that Europe could separate her
Church and State as well as America,
but such is not SO, for the European
ountries have their heritage of
medieval Europe as legacy and it
is hard to uproot tradition; while
the birth of this country occurred so
long a time after these days, even
so long after the days of the Ref
ormation, that we were fortunate
to see the dawn Of our government as
the sun of more liberal thinking and
greater liberty appeared over the
horizon. 1t is useless to compare
two states of civilizations, when one
is on the shady side, and the other
is on the sunny side of the worlds
history.
