national committee and the creden-
tials committee sustained him in that
claim and so did the convention. So
Roosevelt got all the votes from Cali
fornia but two.
Here are the reasons why these two
delegates were given 10 Taft. The
call for the national convention de-
clared specifically that district dele
gates were to represent the will of
the republican voters in the districts
and the call was issued before Cali
fornia enacted its presidential prefer
ence primary. That law would, in
that state, re-establish the unit rule,
which became so odious that the re-
publican national convention of 1876
decided against it, and the republican
national convention of 1880 abolished
i it permanently.
Thus we see that CALIFORNIA; pre-
ference primary act not only violated
the terms of the call for the conven-
ton issued before the primary was
passed, but it also assailed law of
the republican party which had been
| in force for thirty-twO years. The
unit rule which California had aimed
to re-enact had become so repugnant
to American ideas of fairness that the
democratic national convention of
1912 abrogated it specifically, except
where it may be made mandatory by
stat claw. A practice of the demo
cratic party which was almost as old
as the national delegate convention
system has thus been dropped.
"A calm look over the field will
convince Colonel Roosevelt that the
decisions of the national committee
in 1912 were scrupulously fair. OF
the 223 contests put up by the "allies"
in 1908 against the coloners candidate
Mr. Taft in that year, all We're decid-
ed in favor of ROosevelt's candidate.
On the other hand, twenty of the del
agat which Mr. Taft claimed in
1912 were awarded to the colonel. AS
a good republican, indebted to his par
ty for all the public posts he has ever
held, Colonel Roosevelt's duty is to
support the honestly selected repub-
llican candidates, and to use all his
great talents and influence in favor of
that candidates election, just as he
did in 1884 for Blain, whose nomina-
ton he had opposed as bitterly as he
oDposed Tafts denomination"

The RELIGIOUS CENSUS.

During the week a large corps Of
church workers made a census OF
the city TO determine the religious
health of the community and some OF
its religious needs. In most cases a
census is taken TO show the material
progress of a region, its increase in
population, in wealth, in industries
and in. all that makes for material
comfort and prosperity. But this
enumeration was for the far more
vital purpose of determining the spir-
itual progress and wealth Of the city;
and in the last analysis the real
wealth of life consists of a spiritual
outlook full of faith, charity and ben
evidence and these things have their
being only in some voiced or unvoic-
ed allegiance to a religious belief, in
whatever creed or form ii may take
shape.
This is an impressive and inspiring
task TO undertake. II Is the mani
festation of a practical desire to find
out the facts, and upon them base
revival and stimulation of all that is
best and highest. Many a person
may have il brought home TO him that
somewhere, sometime, he must ans
wer the question concerning his faith,
which is to carry him through the
doubt and temptations Of modern life,
and bring him ready and stout-hearted
TO the doors of eternity.
All denominations Joined in this en-.
deavor to bring every citizen, regard
less of color or creed, into closer
touch with TIE ofganized forms of re.
ligious belief. 1T was not an attempt
to narrow religious belief to the ques-
tion OF doctrine, but to stir up the
universal need for some lasting stay
for the weak human souls. II this
movement causes one man to search
his heart to find out by what eternal
rule he sorts the checkerboard facts
of existence, II will have done much
good. II 1t brings 10 some forgetful
person a consciousness Of some high
er duty than caring for self. it will
make Oskaloosa a finer part of the
Supreme Rulers domain.

EFFECTS OF SUMMER HEAT.

A series of extremely interesting
observations have been made by
,Schlesinger of Vienna on the effects
of summer heat on infants and Older
children in some of the various dis
itricts of Germany, more particularly
lin Strasburg. The abnormally high
mortality among infants during an
extraordinarily hot summer occasion
ed the study.
On comparison of various districts
all having the same climatic condi
tons, the milk-supply and genera
care of infants being also practically
identical, 1t was found that in one dis
trict the mortality was higher than ir
the others. In this district the houses
were tightly packed, with but little
open space between. In such places
the air does not cool off at night dur
ing the summer, the temperature in
one place remaining practically con
stantly above 80.
A study of the effects of heat on
260 school children, between the ages
of and 10, was made, and it was
found that 80 per cent lost apprecia
bly, in weight from May to August;
in per cent this loss was extreme
The cause of this was the heat stag
nation during an extremely warm sea
son, the children being confined in
warm school rooms, with high hu
nudity over long periods during the
day. In these children the effects
were restlessness, lassitude, headache
nose-bleed and similar symptoms
With shorter hours, and a vacation ex
tending over seven weeks, the heat
remaining the same, all the children
regained their previous weight and
most of them added to their former
weight
The treatment and care of infants
during the summer should not be
confined to the ordinary treatment o
definite diseases, but should be direct
ed especially toward offsetting the
effects OF the heat. Less food should
be given than in cool weather; plen
ty of water, however, is desirable
Children should wear little and loose
clothing, and frequent cool and tepiC
baths should be given. Heat stagna
ton should be avoided so far as pos

HONESTLY NOMINATED.

The truth should be plainly told;
or ninety delegates" were stolen from
him at Chicago, and that thus he was
defrauded out of the nomination, Is
not the fact" says Leslie's Weekly.
Nearly all his 254 contests were
based ON such trivial grounds that
many OF his own friends in the nation
al committee voted against them! On
most of the contests there was un-
luminous vote Of the committee in IA
vor OF seating the Taft delegates. If
all the delegates had been given to
Roosevelt whom all his friends on the
national committe voted to give him,
he would still have been short of the
$40 necessary to nominate. On the
only ballot taken Taft had sol votes.
or 81 more than a majority. On that
ballot Roosevelt had 1917, while 344
delegates, all of them in favor OF
Roosevelt, declined to vote. This
placed the colonel's strength at 45l,
or SO short of the number necessary
to nominate. Six delegates were abb
sent on that roll call. Even II we
hand these six over to him he would
still have been SO short of a majority.
OF the remaining delegates, Al voted
for La Toilette, II for Cummins and
two for Hughes. This is the plain
truth. .... ... ...
THE Roosevelt contests which had
color Of justification were those OF
Arizona, California and Washington.
II all the delegates involved In those

still have lacked many votes OF the
number necessary to nominate. The

ed the convention. Even in this in
stance the convention had good
