Each year the popularity Of American
shoes becomes more generally acknowl-
edged throughout the world and foot
wear from the United States is exported
to every civilized country and even to
those just emerging from barbarity.
While a number of the European coun-
tries are producing shoes which may
equal the wearing qualities Of those
made in America, 1t is generally con-
coded that as class American shoes
are superior in style and finish and 1t
has become quite general for foreigners
visiting his country to take home a
supply of shoes in excess of their ordi-
nary needs.
This superiority generally is credited
to American shoe making machinery.
which. like laundry machinery, has
reached higher degree of perfection in
this country than elsewhere. The prae-
teal monopoly which controls much OF
it makes it difficult for the manufacture
ers in other countries to secure it. The
machinery used in most American fac
tories is leased rather than sold to the
manufacturers. Only a few of the larger
establishments producing high grade
shoes own their machinery. Others
lease it from the machine making con-
Germ, WHICH also controls the conditions
under which it is used.
Another reason for the excellence of
American shoes is the wonderful size and

almost a city in itself. There are great

HowELL's STATEMENT.
Will Present Credentials When Roose

Chicago, June 6.-R, B. Howell of Nebraska, chosen for national com mitteeman at the state primary, also issued a statement after conferring with Senator Dixon.
 Mir. Howelrs statement was in part as follows:
 MT. Rosewater will retain his seat iii the national committee for the present without contest, as l have been requested by Senator Dixon to defer the presentations of my credentials.
 While I am now legally entitled, without question, to perform the func- tons of national committeeman from Nebraska, 1 shall attempt to assume the duties of that office only when the cuties of Colonel Roosevelt's campaign so demand"
 The Rosewater and Howell contest, i. was expected before the committee met. would develop the first test of strength between the Taft and the Roosevelt members and it's postpone ment was variously construed. Certain Taft adherents said that the Roose- velt managers are unwilling to take the initiative in asking for roll cali on any such clearly defined issue at this time.

CONVENTION PROGRAMME.
Name of Senator cummins May Be

Washington June 6-President Tafts name may not be the first to be presented to the republican national convention at Chicago, and in fact Taft leaders still in Washington said tonight that the presidents name might not be put before the conven- tion until after Colonel Theodore Roosevelt has been put in nomination.
 It became known that when c. D. Hilles, President Taft's secretary, left for Chicago last night he carried with him draft of a tentative plan for the presentation of the presidents name to the convention That plan was declared to be subject to alter ation by Taft leaders now in Chicago and of course, by MT. Taft himself if he finds it unsuitable before the day when the nominations are made. According to the plan taken away by Mir. Hilles the name of Senator A. B.
