ROOSEVELT IS
TURNED DOWN
Suffers Defeat at Hands Of
New York Committee
SHERMAN GIVEN PLACE

Vice President Selected for Temporary
Chairman Of the Republican State
Convention Over the Former Presi
dent by a Vote Of 20 to 15-Latter's
Name Proposed by One Of His Re
cent Callers, Lloyd Griscom.
New York, Aug. 17.-Colonel Theo.
dore R~oosevelt's name was presented
for the Office of temporary chairman
Of the coming Republican state con-
vention at the meeting of the Repub'
lican state committee, but his selec.
ton for that honor was lost by a vote
of 20 to Is.
Vice President James S. Sherman
was named as temporary chairman of
the convention by unanimous vote,
following the defeat of the motion to
make Colonel Roosevelt the temporary
presiding officer.
The state committee selected Sara
toga and Sept. % as the place and
time for the convention.
After the time and place of the
state convention had been chosen
William J.. Barnes, .Jr., of Albany of.
fered a resolution presenting the name
OF Vice President Sherman for TEN
porary chairman. Lloyd C. Griscom
moved to substitute the name of Colo
mel Roosevelt and also moved that the
vote be postponed until later.
RooseveIt's Name Rejected.
After much debate the motion to
postpone was defeated by a vote of ~
to 90. The resolution to make Colonel
Roosevelt temporary chairman was
then lost by a vote of 20 to Is, follow
ing which Vice President Sherman
was unanimously chosen, Lloyd c.
Griscom and Henry Mack of New
York not voting.
Commenting upon the action of the
committee in rejecting the name of
former President Roosevelt Mr.. Girls
com said:
II presented the name of former
President Roosevelt after comforting
with him. The place of the tenn
porary chairman was obviously his,
not only by virtue of his having been
president of the United States, but by
the signal services rendered by him
to the Republicans in New York state.
mir. Roosevelt was anxious to en-.
gage in the political campaign in this
state and his name at the head of the
convention would have lent eXtraor-
binary prestige to the meeting and
been of incalculable value to the party
throughout the state"

Not caring a sou OF a cooxy who

To nowhere far away,
Where silence lies beneath the skies
Throughout the livelong day.
Where never on the evening air
Is heard the baseball lore
Some fastness vast where weeks slip past
Without the latest score
In some cline primitive and calm
Where kilograms cannot
Discover those who seek repose
In this ideal spot.
No news of how the Japanese

With gun in hand. the white mans land
Or some such tale of woe.

HumOr and
Philosophy
D. DUNCAN N. SMITH
PERT PARAGRAPHS.

ssSe
TT often happens that when a girl
marries her ideal the ideal doesn't
stay married.
Good intentions are all right, but the
great trouble with them is that they
always stay intentions.
You generally have to pay in hard
work if you get q chance to carr a
living.
Saving the country is the annual
task of the annual graduate.
Don't stare at the bright side so per-
sistently that your eyes are dazzled
and in no condition to see the pitfalls
in your path.
When you find it hard to persuad..
yourself that you ought to do q thing
you are either lazy or your moral ma
ture is unbending a little.
The less you aatter some men the
more 1attered they are.
OF course a pretty girl resents a
plain talk.
Some people get rich by taking adj
vice, but a greater number amass
wealth by giving it at so much per ad.
Some persons are so actively en-
gagged in making enemies that they
haven't time to protect themselves
from them.

Jews WIN ONE
STRONG POINT
Those of the First Guild Are
Permitted to Reside in
st. Petersburg

st. Petersburg, Dec. 13.-An i'm
perial order has been published con-
firming a resolution recently adopted
by the cabinet permitting Jewish mer-
chants of the first guild to reside in
the city and province Of Moscow.
Emperor Nicholas on November l
approved the opening up Of new sec
tions for the residence Of Jews. Here
tofore legal residence Of Jews had
been restricted to that section of the
Polish provinces and the Ukraine de-
limited by the original Jewish segre-
cation law and known as "the pale.
The new sections embraced twelve dis
tricts in the provinces of Vitebsk, Vol
hynia, Mohilev, Poltava and Kherson,
and the town of Yekaterinodar. The
action of the government resulted
from petitions of the inhabitants of
the newly opened localities who de-
sired the admission Of Jewish resi-
dents as means Of improving local
business conditions.
Last May an official list was pub
lished which included less than 200
Jewish merchants of the first guild
whose families were legally entitled
to live in Moscow.
According to the estimate at the
time several hundred others came
within the order of expulsion.

ASKS FOR A
LOWER TARIFF
Senator Cummins of Iowa in
Speech Today Attacks the
High Rates

Washington, Dec. 13.-Contending
that the present tariff law imposes
excessive duties and that the country
at large demands an amendment,
Senator Cummings Of Iowa. today de-
livered a speech in the senate ad-
vocacy of his resolution limiting the
power of the amendment Of bills deal
ing with separate schedules of Law.
The speech was first attack of the
session on the Payne-Aldrich law, and
1t received careful attention. The
Iowa senator disayowed any inten-
ton Of opening general tariff discus
sion. Still, he found it difficult to
avoid general expression on tarih
questions. "It is we'll known" he
said, that l consider excessive and
inexcusable many of duties levied by
law of 1909. know also that many
people believe that law should be
amended.
During the recent political struggle
did not hear single utterance by
the Republican party that did not ad.
NIT that the law contains duties that
ought to be changed and that 1t IL
duty Of congress to act speedily"
Declaring then that under the exist
ing parliamentary usages in the
house and senate the amendment OF
the tariff law Is out Of the question
he contended that the first step to
be taken was the modification of the
rules so as to render 1t possible to
amend an individual provision OF the
tariff law without taking up the en-
tire tariff question.
"The real ISSUE" he said, "is
whether we shall amend our rules sc
as to permit the amendment of the
law, schedule by schedule" Senator
Cummins had not proceeded far un'
til he was compelled to submit tc
Interruptions. Senators Aldrich, Hale

of men of wide experience on the
question has been given with much
hesitation and much reserve, the ad-
vantages being. in their opinion, far
outweighed by the public inconveni-

Paris prefers to have special exhi-

and do not interfere with city life.
They increase business normally and
are not followed by the reaction that
has always followed those OF a uni
