National Republican Conyen-
ton in Session in CHICAGO
Taft is Sure to be Nominated.
Conceded by Everyone.
Big Convention Opened Tuesday Morning Before
About 10000 Enthusiastic People

Probably the greatest convention
ever held in the United States was
that which opened Tuesday morning
in Chicago. with the main object of
nominating the next president and vice
president Of the United States.
The principal business of Tuesday
was the appointment of committees,
etc., and the session only lasted a
couple of hours when adjournment was
taken until the following day.
At 1918 Chairman New stilled the
vast audience and after brief formali-
ties introduced the temporary presid-
ing officer Of the convention, Senator
Burroughs of Michigan. The venerable
senator addressed the convention, re-
viewing the past four years, and
sounding the keynote of the campaign.
| The, address appears in full on another
page Of this paper.
The doors of the great convention
we're swung open at 1880 o'clock a.
m. Wednesday and the vast crowd that
had congregated near the coliseum
surged into the building. The conven.
tion was called to order at 1910 by
temporary chairman Burroughs. The
committee on credentials was called
and asked for more time.
The committee on permanent organ
ization named Senator Lodge Of Mas
sachusetts permanent chairman. The
report was unanimously adopted. =.

CHICAGO MAY Be SELECTED
Republican congressman Discuss
Campaign Headquarters.

Chicago, July 22.-Chicago probably
will be the headquarters of the Repub-
lican congressional committee, as well
as the center of activity for the pres.
idential ticket. A conference of the
congressional leaders was held at the
Union League club and another meet
ing will be held late in the week.
Speaker Joseph G.. Cannon, Con-
gresham William B. Mckinley, Con-
gresham Henry @. Loudenslager OF
New Jersey and Senator James Hem
enway of Indiana were present and
went over the list of states in which
the work of the congressional COM
mittee will be centered.
It was agreed that the burden OF
the work will be in the West and for
this reason 1t was thought advisable
that the heaquarters of the committee
be established in Chicago.
When the conferees return it is
probable that an agreement will be
reached as to the chairman of the
committee to succeed James Sherman,
the vice presidential nominee. Con-
gresham James A. Tawney will be
present at the second conference.

NOW UNDERGOING REVISION
raft's Speech Of Acceptance Practi
caIIy Completed.

Hot Springs, Va, July 22.-Three
days more of diligent consideration
and careful revision will be given by
William H. Taft to the speech he Is
to deliver at Cincinnati Tuesday next
In acknowledgment of the official no.
LITIGATION that he Is the presidential
nominee of the Republican party.
Although the speech is to be supple
mented in September by an extended
letter of acceptance it is the purpose
of the candidate to take this earlier
opportunity to set forth precisely and
as concisely as may be possible his
position on the Surprising multitude"
of questions which must be dealt with
in the campaign. The Importance
politically of this announcing himself
has been impressed upon Mr. Taft by
the numerous political advisers with
whom he has consulted, and he has
decided to take the risk Of being to-
dious in the delivery of speech Of
an hour and half, which will be fully
Illuminating, in place of the thirty
minute talk he had at first believed
would suffice. But there is much con-
sulting yet to be done and undoubted-
ly many changes of expression will be
made. Frank B. Kellogg has consent
ed to assist in the revising process
until Friday, when Mr.. Taft has prom
Used himself that the work shall be

chivalry and Fatness,

A Have you never noticed that great
personal bulk and chiyalry go almost
always together? Well, they do, and I
am reminded Of circumstance that
happened long years ago. There was
In congress from the state Of Alabama
a gentleman named Dixon Lewis. He
was notorious for his stoutness as well
as for his courtliness and abilities. This
gentleman was Virginian by birth,
but removed early to Alabama, which
state he represented during several
terms Of congress and was In the SEN
ate at the time of his death in 1848.
Biographers relate Of him that one
time after the adjournment of con-
gress he was on his way home in a
steamer that was wrecked and while
he had an opportunity to do SO refused
to take a seat in a small boat because
his great weight would jeopardize the
lives Of others in the boat, and, al
though for time he was in great dan
ger, he was at last rescued. There was
a noticeable combination of chivalry
and Observation-Disclosures Post.

On!v One Alternative.

A cynic was smiling at the extrava-
CANT attentions that are lavished by
the rich upon pet dogs. He spoke of
the canine operations for appendicitis,
the canine tooth crownings, the canine
wardrobes, that occur in New York,
and then he said:
GLOW servants hate these pampered
ours! At house where I was calling
one warm day the fat and pompous
butler entered the drawing room and
said:
"'Did you ring, MADAME

said.
Then, Harrison, you must follow

REAL EDITORS SHOULD CONTROL.

Considerable of a controversy has
arisen between Ed. A. Paradis, editor
of the Midway News, and w. NJ.
James of Breckenridge, the presi-
dent of the Minnesota State Edi-
torial Association, relative to an
article which Mr.. Paradis recently
published in his paper concerning
the editorial association and its
object, and in which Mr.. Paradis
insinuated that the association is
run by representatives, of the paper
trusts and other interests"
The Pioneer believes that while
Mr.. Paradis is rather caustic in his
remarks, he is more than half
right in what he says. The writer
has attended several meetings of
the Minnesota State Editorial AS
ISOLATION and has been much i'm.
pressed with the oficiousness of the
representatives of the type foundries
and paper companies; in fact, these
gentry seem to be running things
and have been aided and abetted by
editors, who are amply repaid for
their services.
1t is too bad that the association
is not conducted more in the interests
of the REAL editors and not for the
benefit, almost wholly, of the type
boundaries, manufac turers of patent
insides, paper manufacture, etc.
While the annual outings are en-
joyed they would be much more
profitable and full of more interest If
conducted wholly and solely by the
editors of the state.
Editor Paradis is about right in
his plain talk concerning the asso-
citation and its management.

SIX MASKED men
RAID OHIO TOWN
Attempt to Force Bank Cash
Ter to Open Safe. "

Ada, O., July 22.-Six masked men
rode into this place and attempted to
rob the local bank. While three of
the gang waited near the bank build
ing the other three went to the home
of Cashier Myers and, arousing him,
compelled him to 60 to the bank with
them. They attempted to compel My.
ers to open the safe. The cashier,
however, convinced the men that the
safe was equipped with time lock
and that it could not be opened.
Thereupon two of the robbers took
Myers to nearby woods and tied him
up, the other four men remaining at
the bank to blow the safe. Myers.
however, managed to escape from his
captors and promptly turned in fire
alarm, arousing the citizens. The
craftsmen jumped on their horses
and galloped out Of town. They were
pursued for some distance, but finally
escaped in the darkness. Blood
hounds will be placed on their trail.
The robbers did not succeed in open
ing the safe.

I would give few words Of encour-

hesitate about leaving home. There is
nothing in the world so good for a
man, say, between twenty-five and
thirty-ive years of age, especially If
unmarried, as a visit to distant coun-
tries, to learn other tongues, to see new
sights and to experience strange adj
ventures, such as he may readily en-
counter by throwing aside the restric-
lions Of home life and taking up work
abroad.-Frederic Shelford, B. &c., in
