crowded into the Coliseum, cneereu
Chairman New when his gavel fell at
1915 Tuesday. and formally oecIareu
the meeting under way.
Music really fell on the ears OF the
delegates and spectators as they en-
tered the convention hall TUESDAY
morning. The convention band was
tnerched lust beneath the high ROOF
of the Coliseum at it's north end. IL
axas 40 feet above the main moor,
hut IFS melodies lost none of their
ettr~activeness in tumbling down 10
the crowds level.
At 1870 a. m. the band played the
"Star-Spangled Banner" and the au-
dience rose and stood until its strains
had died away. .
CALIFORNIA; delegation came in at
11.5O with a huge banner OF the
.sSons of the Golden West" Again
the band played the national anthem
and again the huge crowd stood re
spectfully until the conclusion.
Cheer R~oosevelt's Name.
The first real convention cheering
did not come until Mr.. New in his
onening remarks mentioned the pres
ident's name. Then came the nasn
of the stampede that every delegate
is looking for.
New raised his hand and entreateo
silence, and soon was able to mahe
himself heard.
Bishop Muldoon came forward anc
repeated the Lords Prayer.

Where the President Buys His Coffee

,nbone and expressed his apprecia-
citation. He told the head of the firm
TO send up a couple of pounds of that
coffee to see if the brand was as ex-
cellent as the spelling. Of course the
merchant put on his best touches and
sent the brownest and most fragrant
Java and Mocha s%traightway to the
White House. The beverage ready to
serve was as fine as even the presi-
dent had anticipated, so a permanent
order to furnish ten pounds a week
was left with this fortunate firm.
But the cream of the joke and one
which has not been explained to MIR.
Roosevelt was that the painting OF the
sign was a mistake-the work of an
old German sign artist who was not
particular about the way the letters
are strung together. The merchant
raised a great commotion when the
wagon returned with "rost" consplcu-
ously on it, and it was to be returned
the next day for repairs. Now TINS
legend has been adopted as the trade
mark of the firm, and very likely a
miniature White House may be paint
ed on one side, as the Britishers DO

what this meeting of the governors

It also. and it is comfortable to realize
that he has obtained all his data at
first hand and from reliable sources.
Mr.. Bryce has been a revelation TO
the Observation-Disclosures KIND OF
diplomatist usually assigned to the
WASHINGTON mission. He has taken
a high ground, and the pace he has set
is not altogether pleasing to his col
eagues. Many of the ambassadors
now in this country would cling to the
old ways if they felt secure in so do
ing. But Mr.. Bryce has revolutlonlzed
the service. The ambassadors cannot
draw the line socially, even politically.
They must get in the limelight, make
speeches. give interviews, mingle with
the common herd. Such men as can
not do this are being called home.

THE real manner In which the la
Toilette flibuster on the currency
bill was lost furnishes one of h
amusing series of incidents in the his
+orv of congress. The failure is due
in a great measure to Senators Scout
and Carter. who modestly admit that
they are the champion entertainers
of the country.
Senator Stone of Missouri has beer

princely spending powers of the two
senators and will cheerfully give them
letters of recommendation.

That the United States Congress has
narrowly missed capturing a real hui
morist is made evident by the sworn
statement of campaign expenses Just
made by Till Reiss of Greenville, Pa.
Reiss was a candidate for Congress
on the Democratic ticket, but was
swamped. He takes oath that he ex-
pended but 10 cents on his fight, dis
tributed as follows:

One letter to ]. w. Kelly, Marion
vile, postage cents.
One letter TO I. w. Wasser, Frank
lin, postage 2 cents.
One letter to c. F. SHAFT, Meadville,
postage cents.
Reiss in his sworn statement says:

lowing platform: That l would send
to each constituent in the district a
package of seeds; that I would draw
my salary promptly and all above my
board l would bring home and spend
