FOR BIC STEAM
ROLLER TODAY
New Party Committee, Making
Up Convention Roll, Eliminate
South'S Black Men.

CHICAGO, Aug. 3.-Ehmination Of
the Southern political negro from the
new Progressive party was on the slate
for this afternoon. The limitation was
expected to begin when the provisional
national committee assembled at the
Congress hotel to hear delegate con-
tests from three Southern states The
contestants in most cases are negroes,
and it was unofiCially stated before the
newest steam roller began its work
that the negroes would go away with
out recognition. Officially, it was said
that regularity" was to be the test by
which the delegates would find their
way into their seats. The action of
the committee, however, has already
been forecast in the case OF South Car
olina the only state that will not be
represented in the national convention
that meets Monday. In South Caro-
lima set of negro delegates were
named without the authority of the
Roosevelt manager. They have been
repudiated by the national committee.
Big Convention Roll
The absence of the South Carolina
delegation will not be missed in the
national convention of the new party.
Far from it. The national committee
has more delegates than it knows what
to do with. The really big task that
confronts it before it's meeting today
was the making up of the temporary
roll call of the convention. The call
provides that here shall be 5S4 dele
gates. As matter of fact, the COM
mittee will have to give seats to ap-
proXimately loo delegates
more. The final count is not in yet.
Many states have lected double dele
cations. Some have elected three
times the number provided for in the
call. Connecticut, enthusiastic over the
idea of the Bull Moose party, entitled
to seven delegates as the call was sent
out, elected 40. They will be seated.
of course, and will be allowed one-sev-
enth of a vote each, which would make
the work Of the teIlers pretty hard, pro-
vided there happened to be a hot fight
for nomination.
Then there are the alternates to dis
pose of. There are not quite as many
alternates as there are delegates but
there are more than the call asked for.
and they, too. viii be given chairs on
the convention floor.
Big Demand For Seats.
This unexpected demand for seats
from the delegates has made the work
of the arrangements committee diff
cult. And there has been an unprece-
dented demand for seats from specta-

By MYRTLE MILEs Telephones: Bell 40O0, Peoples 231. :.

A friend writes from Paris: 'The season has been unusually brilliant and full of opportunities for the tourist. The official visit of the Queen of Holland was, natur- ally, a matter of consequence and the crowning event of the times. Diplomatic receptions, a banquet at the Elysees pal ace, and a gala at the grand opera were events to bring smart society from far and near to take advantage of the ad- mirable opportunities for the wearing of beautiful toilettes. The gala at the op- portunity was particularly smart from sartorial standpoint, and socially 1t was brilliant. The invitations for this are sent out from the bureau of the protocole, which is part of the foreign office, and the affair was said to be more representa- tive of all conditions in France than any of the other fetes given in honor of the Queen. When the Queen of Holland ar rived in Paris her majesty wore a white satin gown with a white satin embroid- cred mantle coat. The large lace collar was also embroidered and the hat was of white tulle and feathers. This caused the people of Paris to name her the Little White Queen Her majesty again wore a white dress at the gala performance at the grand opera, and white was donned on the day of her departure from Versailles. So, had white not already figured largely at all fashionable reunions, the young Queen would undoubtedly have set the fashion,"
 There is a decided lull in the world of society, this week presenting only a few incidents, no large weddings, and not comparing with the corresponding week of last year. With weather such as that of the last few days 1t is not strange that q great many are' preparing to leave for the country or the coast. There will not, perhaps, be general departure lln- til August, but until then, with the ex- ception of the eyer popular game of bridge or auction for four or eight either morning or afternoon, the motor trip to the country or the informal lawn or gar den party, affairs promise to remain defin- itely at a standstil for some time to come.

 There are many ways of getting him.
 The old fashioned Yellow paper with a surface as adhesive as a Porch Rocker newly painted in the early Spring, still has its advocJes.
 So also has the dark paper, which, di- luteds. melts into posion as deadly as that of the Borgias.
 There are more ways of killing a goose or fiy-than by wringing its neck
 The most honorable, as it seems to me, IS to give the little fellow a fair fight.
 It's the least true sportsman can do.

 Whether the death is any sweeter be- cause it comes in the shape of a religious journal is not related.
 Anyway, the slaughter goes merriIy on.
 Once it wasn't any great triumph to kill bear, but these days when a man kills even a little old Cinnamon Bear they put his picture in the papers and write wonderful stories describing his sensations when he heard the animal $ expiring groans.

 Ely hunting is the only form of hunt ing that keeps the Hunter amused in his own home, and since the amount of strength required is small, the game is open to young and old and to members of both sexes" ---
 Every year brings changes, and per haps it won't be a hundred years before the Pioneers in the present Fly Crusade will be emblazoned in domestic and civic history, as the mightiest warriors ot their generation.
 Maybe if we live four generations longer, the small boy will be inspired with such stories as:
 My dear, this is a picture of your great grandfather when he was a small boy. He held the record in his day. He killed 50 gallons of flies when he was only 13 years old He did it with a swatatr. He also killed them by hand-by the dozens with his bare hands on the walls. Some day I will take you to the ancestral home of the family where his brave deeds were accomplished.
 Wish Grandfather hadn't CT killed all the flies an left us nothin but ants and gnats ter kill," another small boy will say generations hence when the House Fly is extinct, He even killed the big old Blue Bottle Flies with CT swatter he made himself'
 And still again, that generation may be holding the electric light close and taking down verbatim from some Grand mothers trembling lips notes to be in- corporated in a posthumous volume, en- titled Vicious Flies I Have Met"
