THE FIRST DAY

The first day of the Republican con- vention showed the Taft forces in a majority sufficient to name Elihu Root for temporary chairman. To name Root $40 votes were needed. For Root 55S votes were cast. The major ity is IS. The margin is small, but it may be sufficient, even though nine members of it are of delegates pledg- ed or instructed for Roosevelt for President. It seems necessary to nominate Taft on the first ballot, if he is nominated at all.
 Three possibilities present them selves the morning after the first day. Taft may be nominated. Roosevelt may be nominated, or a third person may be nominated. The man in the street is probably as we'll informed as to what will actually take place be- fore 1t happens, as the biggest leaders on the spot, including MT. Roosevelt.
 The thing that stands out clearly is that millions of Republicans have come to the parting of the ways.
 Politically and economically there can be no lasting agreement between Republicans like Johnson of Califor- mia, Hadley of Missouri and Republi- cans like Root and Barnes of New York
 The first are ultra reformers. John son is more, a revolutionist. Root was Tweed's lawyer at one time, and that shows what sort of politician he was and is Barnes is the old fashioned type of boss, purveyor to the plutocracy, fletcher and carrier for ief4saege. ss-sss5t.- setss+....z g. T.

EXPERIMENT IN vooDoo

There is force in symbols. My la dy's glove, her 'kerchief, the flower that dropped from her hair, are pre- cious objects to her adorer. Mater ial things have their potency no less in the. realm of hate, antipathy, or aversion.
 ''I do not like you Dr. Fell,
 ''The reason why I cannot tell'' is a rhyme inspired in the mind of it's author. perhaps by box of pills like those the doctor used to give, or a sight of the turnkey, which the old fellow used for the extraction of teeth. It is still the custom among barbar- ous and semi-civilized tribes to treat nonae object as really taking the place
 I reFEspsts to stick it full of
 ssral tfee4ts against it, or ''cuss It out" as the modern saying is, in the belief that all the revenge will actually be experienced upon the ma- terial body of the hated one.
 The latest revival of this almost de- funct species of superstition is in our own City Hall, where a select body, of political gentlemen, or persons more or less in politics, amused themselves by hurling voodoo at a helpless, cray on portrait of former Mayor Edward T. Buckingham.
 The experiment should be observed with interest. Up-to-date the for iner mayor has not found himself Tn any unusual pain, but at any moment the news may come that he has suc- cumbed to the terrible force of voo- doc. which seems to be a sort of wick ed cousin to wireless.
 More power to the voodoo, say we, Few things are so tdisagreeable as the man who says it to your face" Darhning portraits is a great improv- hent.

TAFT, ON ANNIVERSARY, s GIVES HIS RECIPE
 FOR WEDDED BLISS

Twenty-six years ago today. at the home of the brides parents in Cin- cinnati, William Howard Taft and Miss Helen Heron were married Since then the bridegroom has won many successes, most of which he at tributes to the woman he took as a better half on June 19, 1886. The Presidents tested recipe for '.how to be happy though married may afford valuable suggestions for June bride grooms and brides. Here it is:
 Absolute and positive love for each other is the fundamental basis
 Ambition on the part of both hus- band and wife for common success with an equal abundance of energy on the part of both to carry out their ann bition. Team work is as essential in matrimony. as in baseball
 True manliness and womanliness combined with magnaninity and toler- ance.
 .Directness and frankness in all the relations with one another and those with whom social. political Or business contact is had, F3SS
 s'Never be subservient to anything mean pr under-handed. Keep no se- crets from each other. ss
 t'Unselfishness in all relations with one another and with all mankind and readiness to meet and treat WASA dA ItA11Adll1ty, Wlt1lOut dIlCCIlO4 Ot snobbishness.
 "A continuation and growth of the devotion for one another possessed in the beginning"
 Six centuries ago today, June 19 1912, Piers Gaveston, the worthless fa- vorste of King Edward II of England was executed by the nobles. The first act of the weak and faithless Edward II, after the death of his father, was to recall the dissolute Piers Galveston who had been banished by Edward l. and create him Earl of Cornwall When the King went to France to be married to Isabella, daughter of Philip IT. he appointed Gaveston guardian o1 the kingdom during his absence. On his return the monarch loaded his ia vorite with honors and gifts, arousing the animosity of the nobles Until the latter rose in rebellion in 1912 and executed Gaveston at Warwick castle the favorite formed a perpetual sub ject of dispute between the nobles and the King, and was alternately ban ished and recalled according to the monarch's exigencies.
 Today is the fifty-fourth anniversary of the birth in New Hampshire o1 Sam Walter Foss,. the farm boy who became one of the best loved of Amer ican poets. The following verse re- fleets the spirit that animated both man and poet:
 There are hermit souls that live
 withdrawn
 In the peace of their self content; There are souls, like stars, that dwell
 apart,
 In fellowless Armament; There are pioneer souls that blaze
 their paths
 Where highways never ran;- But let me live by the side. of the
 road
 And be friend to man.

FIRST THINGS

The first colonial congress. called for the purpose of considering a con- federacy of the various American col onies, was convened in Albany, N. Y., on this date in 1754. New Hamp- snlre, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, New York, Pennsylvania and Maryland were represented. Tn the prospect of war with France, the British ministry had advised the col onists to hold a general convention to provide for the general defence. Co., ing beyond the advice of the ministers, the congress proposed a scheme of confederation which was the germ of the United States Constitution. It's author was Benjamin Franklin The plan was finally rejected by the colon- ies because, it, was alleged, it gave too much power to the crown, and dis approved by the crown because it left too much authority to the people.

They twice showed the same kind
of gameness this season when they
arose to the occas sion and held their
lead against an onslaught by the
Chicago Cubs. People at that time
said McGraW's team would weaken
under the strain and get on los

not recover because things were
breaking bad for them But they
came right back, held their lead
