DemoeTatic hosts happy, incidentally,
they are having good time themselves

Judge by the scenes on. the streets and

Southern courtesy and Southern good

Already. some OF the delegates from the
BoweTy are beginning TO acquire South

The entire population OF the city Of
Baltimore and its environs came down
to the hotel section, tonight 70 see the
sights-the sights being Democratic
Statesmen and the decorations and IL
luminations which the local entertain
ment committee had provided for the
delegates. The hotels OF Baltimore,
while up-to-date in their appointments,

ONE MILLION CATS
ROAM IN CHICAGO
Every Alley in Older Part of City
Is Infested by Half-starVedF
Felines.

Chicago, June Z.-There are l.Ooo.-
OO9 homeless cats in Chicago
Herein lies a problem that soon must
be given serious consideration, in the
opinion of Hugo Krause, secretary of
the Anti-Cruelty Society.
As COnstantinople collected all its
stray dogs and placed them upon an
island in the Mediterranean, there to
starve TO death, so Chicago must de-
wise some plan of ridding itself Of the
half-starved feIines that infest every
alley and practically every building IN
the older portions OF the city and are
round In hundreds in the Easements OF
loop buildings
The Ant-CrueIty Society has no
means with which thoroughly to per-
form the task. Ohicials OF the dog
pound are said to have refused to un-
dertake it because Of the old supersti-
ton that the exterminator Of a black
cat will ever after be unlucky And
many Of the homeless cats are black.
Something must be done immedi-
ately either to provide homes for these
stray cats or to exterminate them"
said Mr.. Krause the other day. Their
half-starved condition, for they feed
chiefly at the alley garbage pals, de-
mands that some action be taken This
alone, regardless Of the fact that they
are menace to health, is sufficient
reason"
Over in North HaIstead Street is one
building, recently vacated by a laun-
dry. where more than a dozen cats sleep
during the day and at night wander
through the alleys looking for food. At
a small store at No. 517 Wells Street a
large wild tramp feline makes its home
in the flooring, coming out only at night.
II has defed all efforts at capture
Only few days ago a large loop
restaurant was renovated. In the cellars
nearly two score Of stray cats were
found Thirty-five Of them were sent to
the Humane Society, which maintains
large cattery, sorts out the best of
the felines and finds homes for them,
and chloroforms the remainder.
According to statistics one female stray
cat will bring from ten to fifty kittens
Into the world each year. Throughout
the entire city the cat population is In
creasing rapidly and even in the newer
districts owners Of pet cats, in giving
kittens TO their friends, are laying the
foundation for a future pest Of homeless
felines.

streets Are conEested.
The streets in the downtown sections
are badly eongested. Baltimore's streets
are very narrow and K does not take an
enormous crowd to make them almost
impossible. But despite the congestion
and the heat. which added to the dis
comforts OF those who were caught in
the eddies Of humanity, everybody was
good nstured and polite.
Whether or not they have bene in
strueted by the members OF their local
entertainment COMMITTEES as 10 how they
should conduct themselves toward the
Democratic visitors. the Baltimoreans
are manifesting a non-partisanship in
their welcome which IL rearkable. The
crowds are niled with enthusiasm. but
their enthusiasm finds patriotic rather
than a partisan outlet The cheers on
the streets were for Uncle Sam" not
for any OF the rival candidates.
Baltimore Is very strong for the Demo-
cratic convention. but all candidates for
the Democratic nomination look alike to
the crowd. They are refraining from any
expression OF preference.
To the visitors who walked about the
streets IL appeared that Baltimore had
strong preference for Wilson. since most
of the decorations, which, by the way.
are profuse and attractive in all parts Of
the city, the residential section as well
as the downtown section, are made up
OF black and yellow, which are the colors
OF Princeton University. Many OF the
visitors did not know that these are the
Maryland colors, but they were soon en-
lightened, and their resentment over the
supposed favoriteism was dispeIlled.
The big buildings in the downtown
sections are illuminated from foundation
stone to turret.

and iTresponsive to an argument OF
fact and logic. Mark Antony knew
that he could incite the Roman popu-
lace to a much whittier heat by rect-
tation of the valor Of the Roman an
cestry in the days of the conquests,
than by dwelling upon actual injus-
tices and wrongs that had been heaped
upon julius Ceasar by Roman poll
ticians in the last year of his life.
This spirit of veneration for the
deeds of ancestry is largely the spirit
that prompts the return Of the con-
stitutional convention delegates back
to Chillicothe on Thursday, May 9,
1912, nearly 10 years after the ratiti-
cation of the first constitution. TO
recount all the legends and traditions
that surround the framing of the first
constitution would make in itself al
most a twentieth century Iliad but
there are a few that may be revived
with fitting propriety and with no
lack of respect for the sensitiveness Of
any who may hold as sacred every act
of those who have gone before.
First Constitutional Convention.
The first constitutional convention
met in the old state house at Chilli
cothe soon after the portable Ohio
capital had come over from Marietta,
and was officially convened on Mon
day, November l, 1902. The early
trainers met pursuant to an act OF
congress approved April 80, 1902, au-
thorizing the people OF that portion OF
the then Northwest territory, that now
constitutes Ohio, to meet, draft and
adopt a constitution. The early franz
ers remained in session just 29 days,
during which time they produced a
document that in the magnitude OF
their own wisdom they deemed sutfi-
ciently beyond the possibility OF i'm
provement at the hands Of the people
as a whole as to make unnecessary its
submission to the people for either APP
proval, modification or nullitication.
At least 1t Is an historical fact that
has never been seriously questioned.
that the first Ohio constitution was
never submitted TO a referendum nor
was never voted upon by representa-
tives elected by the people other than
those who by political influence had
been named as delegates to the con-.
