the contests have been fiocking into
the city.
A plan to meet at once the full force
OF Theodore Roosevelt's fight to con
troll the organization of the Republican
National Convention by making per
manent the organization, with Senator
Elihu Root as chairman, was practical
ly agreed on by Taft leaders. This is
in accordance with the wishes of the
President.
The permanent chairman will be re-
ported to the committee on permanent
organization made up of one member
from each state and territory, report
ed from the floor of the convention,
following the temporary organization.
The wishes of the candidate for Presi-
dent are usually consulted by the con-
vention, and il is generally assumed
that President Taft's friends Will
strive to make Senator Root perman-
ent presiding officer.
The Roosevelt campaign managers.
who also have transferred their activi-
ties to this city, persisted in their pre-
dictions that Col Roosevelt would be
nominated on the first ballot when the
Republican National Convention
meets. From neither side has there
been forthcoming for publication any

To the ordinary man the difference
between a profession and calling is
1ndistinct. But the law makes a
sharp distinction. This is we'll illus
trated by a recent decision OF the
supreme court OF Washington. A sur
veyor was employed 10 give the lines
of lot that the owner might put up
a building. Later the city notified the
owner that his building projected sew
eral feet over the property line, and
he sued the surveyor for the expense
of moving it back The interesting
thing about the case was the claim of
the surveyor that he was not paid for,
nor did he make a guaranteed survey,
but that he had made mistake In
judgment This the court would not
allow. In profession. judgment plays
an important part; in calling, rea-
sonable skill and accuracy are more
essential. from a legal point of view.
Consequently the courts do not as
rule hold a lawyer or physician re-
sponsible for errors OF judgment; il
is a clients business TO engage men
of good judgment Under the Wash
ington courts ruling surveying is a
calling and not profession.

MOVE TO PLEDGE
ALL THE DELEGATES
Republican National Committee Delio-
crates at Chcaso-Newspaper
Men Admitted.

Chicago supporters OF Presi-
dent Taft had things their own way In
the first session of the Republican Ma
tional Committee
The test vote was on Kellogg's mo-
ton TO admit all newspaper men to
he sessions Of the National Commit
tee. The Taft men opposed this, say
ing that representatives of the recog-
nized national press associations, serV-
ing all the newspapers, would meet
every object of publicity. The Tart
men won 80 TO 13, with Nevada unrep-
resented.
Immediately after Victor Rosewater
of Nebraska, acting chairman, called
this meeting to order Col Harry 5.
New offered resolution calling Tor
the election of Mr. Rosewater as chair
man of the committee. This was unani-
mously adopted. Mr. Rosewater has
been acting chairman since the death
a number of months ago OF John f.
Hill of Augusta, Me. Mr.. Rosewater's
term of office as chairman will expire
after the candidates of this convention
have been nominated.
The widely advertised purpose of r..
B. Howell. national committeeman-
elect from Nebraska, to demand his
scat in the national committee before
the hearing of the contests, which Mr..
Howell had declared, on the advice OF
Mr., Roosevelt, failed to materialze,
Mr.. Howell was guided by Mr.. Roose-
velt's own political managers, who
told the aspiring NebrNskan that his
claim to seat at this time was far
too fimsy to warrant the attempt, that
il was certain to be rejected by an al
most unanimous vote of the commit
tee and that its rejection would be her
aided abroad as a sigal defeat for Mr..
Roosevelt. Under the circumstances
he decided not to submit his conten-
tion.
Following the defeat of the Kellogg
motion. the secretary of the commit
tee was authorized to employ a force
of expert stenographers to prepare
and furnish TO the members of the
press other than representatives of
the press associations verbatim copies
! OF the proceedings. II is estimated by
Secretary Haywood that the steno
