the Taft headquarters, "of gang like

crowd knew. what he was driving at,
and his usefulness as an orator was
ended. # 8s
New York has 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 FESTIVE
and quit just before his credit gave
out. " S.
f.. ..> The Clarion Note. s.
The only real clarion note Of the
convention was sounded by knight
of California, seconding Taft's nom
:nation. For knight has voice, and
Mr.. Burton of Ohio, who put Taft's
name before the convention grace
fully, was not heard as well as such
a speaker should have been heard
Knox also was tastefully nominated
with proper eclat and without too
much wind jamming.
And if the young football player,
Cochem of Wisconsin, who gave the
convention La Follette's 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 off and he grew angry, and the
subsequent proceedings interested
him no more"
It was Mr. McGee-remember the
name-who, seconding the nomination
of La Toilette, started the whoop
heard round the world. There seems
to be no question that Of all the can
didates besides Taft, La Toilette got
the best demonstration.

1t was under orders, and nothing could
move it. So it moved majestically
along. 1t adopted the platform, for
mally voting down, by overwhelming
majorities, planks advocating pub
licity in campaign contributions
recommended by the president in his
messages, valuation of railroads,
recommended by the president in his
messages, and the election of senators
by the people.
A Roosevelt Convention.
For that convention was for Roose-
welt policies only when it had them
in the regular order and the anthem
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 it
came through the committee, and it
believed, and probably with some JUS
LITIGATION, in the fact that Roosevelt
did not care to have his policies come
into the convention by way Of Wis
cOnsin.

next order was the nomination of
president. And that is a 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
putting men in nomination for the
presidency who had no more chance to
be nominated than they had of pick

afternoon the sibilant lisp Of tho greet
crowd in the Coliseum fell like great
wave on the shores of the place, in
idle conversation as the proceedings
of the convention droned on. The
committee on credentials made its ~
port, and the great crowd Tapped n
up as the sea laps up the sand-im-

There was no fight, and evidently the
crowd knew there would be no tight.
The regular order proceeded, and
Senator Lodge was installed as per
manent chairman, and the great crowd
the great buff sea, rocked idly to
look at him. He began to speak with
some fervor, and little ripples of ap-
plause played across the tide. His
earnestness deepened the pillows
slightly.
And the waves lulled and were quiet.
And then, not while he was at cli-
max, but as the man before them was
reaching deeper and deeper into the
soul of the place and the occasion, the
sibilant lisp of the crowd hushed, and
in the great silence the man spoke.
simply and strongly and without ora
torical flourish or emphasis HE has
enforced the laws as he found them,

It was not much of tribute. But a
wave of sincere feeling swept over
the quiet tide of humanity 1t was not
strong wave-not much stronger
than the first wave that came rolling
in. But another wave followed it, and
another higher and stronger came at
ter it. The speaker, who did not rea-
lie what was about to come, put out
his hand to beg silence, but a huge
wave of applause came over him. and
he ducked and backed off good-na-
turedly and let the wind of emotion
play as it would across the restless
sea before him.
At Flood Tide.
In another minute perhaps two, Sen
ator Lodge rose again to face the ris
ing tide, but it rolled in on him with
great roar, and men knew that the
storm of applause had come which
Theodore Roosevelt's work as, an
American citizen had conjured. So
they let it rage, and for nearly an hour

AN EASTERN VIEW 0F COLLEGE
FRANKS.

The New York World disapproves
college pranks" when they overstep
the bounds of common decency. IL
suggests that the public often excuse
acts of college boys which, II dupli-
Gated on the East Side or Kakaako or
South of Market, would lead to arrest
and imprisonment. The comment OF
the World applies in measure to re-
cent troubles at Stanford University.
where the "pranks" ran riot and only
strict discipline could conquer an APP
parently growing spirit of rebellion
and insolence.
The New York journal cites the
instance of Columbia University
boy who was shot by n policeman
and perhaps fatally wounded while
trying to escape arrest. "He Will re-
ceive general sympathy irrespective
of his guilt. He was a student and
college pranks are to be condoned.'
But If the victim of the officers
bullet had been member of the
Monk Eastman gang who also had
broken into Understand and was
running away, would the degree OF
sympathy be the same?" asks the
World Yet IL can be argued with
equal truth that the gang member is
young, that he belongs to a frater-
nifty of youths, and that in him, ms
with the college boy, animal spirits
abound which must have an outlet.
1T is difficult to see in what re-
spect crime is less a crime when
committed in the name of a college
prank or why the benefit of youth is
reserved solely for boys at seats 'of
learning. That the illusion exists
among college students Is only toe
evident. 1t was rudely dispelled at
Ann Arbor. where fourteen under
graduates were arrested and indicted
for wrecking a theater. 1t has been
dispelled in an unfortunate manner
in the present instance. What are
the colleges doing for its correction
What is student honor accomplish
ing to make class members conform
TO the elementary laws of society?
'The lawless behavior of college
youth may be traced to that lack OF
discipline which manifests itself ev,
erywhere among the young genera
ton. There has been much talk oil
the determination of the American
schoolboy. If to be effeminized is Il
be insolent and disobedient and tc
regard infractions of authority as Q
lark, the charge is only too true"
