~ HE tempestnOus convent ion
~ of the Republican party,

~HE tempestnOus convent ion
of the Republican party,
shattered and torn asunder
by its own violence and internicine
strife. came to ii close last Satur-
day night. President Taft was
nominated for second term. AS
to the party machines strong-arm
tactics which brought about the
final result we leave Republican
voters to judge for themselves and
TO settle in their own minds. That
it does not meet with the approval
of a large majority of them, but is
sore disappointment and dis.
couragement, there is no question.
They were not pleased with Mr..
Taft's administration and were dis.
gusted with the character of the
campaign inaugurated by Colonel
Roosevelt ms well as with his
transgression of an honored pre-.
eedcnt i'll seeking third term of
the presidency. There was a long.
ing hope among the nominal sup.
porters of each of these men,
which abode with them even mp to
the last hours of the convention,
that both would be rejected and a
third man upon whom the party
could unite would be selected. In
the present dissatisfied condition
of the country with Mr.. Taft and
his administration and the failure
of the Republican party to keep its
campaign and platform pledges OF
four years ago, the success of the
party at the polls in November was
extremely doubtful, but with the
party torn with internal strife and
bitterness, split in two and with
probably two candidates in the
field. certain defeat seems to await
it.
The nomination of Mr.. Taft
makes the issue clear. cut and we'll
defined. The special interests are
still firmly seated in the saddle Of
the Republican party. There is
no confusing third-term goblin to
distract the attention of the people
from the dominant issue of the
campaign, as there would have
been had Colonel Roosevelt sue.

preme Court has again sen.
fenced Samuel Gompers and Frank
Morrison, officers Of the American
Federation OF Labor, for contempt
of court in the all but forgotten
Buck Stove and Range Company
alleged boycott case. They were
originally sentenced by him for
contempt several years ago, and
appealed to the United States SUI
preme Court, which reversed their
former conviction on the ground
that the contempt proceedings had
been improperly instituted, and re-
manded the case. In the mean
time the suit instituted by the
Buck Stove and Range Company
against the Federation had been
settled or compromised, and to the
ordinary mind it looks as If the
whole matter ought to have been
dropped there, but the contempt
proceeding having been remanded
to Judge Wright's court, his Dre.
JUDGE against the defendants would
not allow him to take the wise Judi.
clal course of dropping their alleged
contempt case from the docket. A
man whose vindctiveness and NAL
ice thus sway his judgment has no
business on the bench of any
court. The defendants have again
appealed to the United States Su-
preme Court. and it is to he hoped
that that court will again reverse
the action of the lower court and
order their release.

Story Of . sauerkraut Factory.
Eronn L oalioIn

- ~
A simple illustration Of how apparent
waste may be utilized Is shown by the
story of a sauerkraut factory on Long
Island. In the manufacture Of this Ger
man d~elicacy the juice is pressed out of
the c~abbages. and, as the vegetables are
about GO per cent water or juice, the waste
was more than one-half. This Juice was
allowed to go to waste. 1t wa an in
dustrial chemist who collected this Juice
and discovered that it contained much de-
composed vegetable matter. There was
an organic acid in the juice that seemed
worth recovering, and by concentration
and filtration the acid was obtained and
refined. Today this organic acid forms
an important factor in the tanning Of
skins and in all textile manufacturing. At
first thought 1t would seem as if the
sauerkraut industry was too small to be
Of Importance In recovering such an in
significant b~y-product. but there are alone
on Long Island upward Of 20 such fac
tories. and each one uses some two 2.6Oo.-
600 pounds OF cabbages. From each fac.
tory there is recovered today $4,000 gal
Ions of juice. or. in all. 100000 gallons of
waste. Multiply these figures by 10. and
We begin to get an idea of what this fac
tory economy means. for there are SINH
lar factories around Chicago. st. Louis
and many other large cities.

A King Among the Prophets.
From the Christian Herald.

Emperor William. Of Germany.
who has a penchant for supplying
lively topics for the c%onsideera-
ton OF the cabinet of Europe in
utterance which. even from such a
source. sounds somewhat apocryphal.
The Berlin correspondent of the Trib-
une writes that In q recent converse
ton with Karl Won Kroon, the dis
tinguished historian. after an inspec-
and Literature, h emperor made this
extraordinary prediction: my son
will be the asst Of the emperors. That
is why 1 am bringing him up as 1
was brought up, under firm discipline.
He must be a credit to the house Of
after his. will cease to be. All the
world will be republican within so
years. Germany will be the last of the
empires. 1t is inevitable!"
Whether this remarkable ~utterance-
II it was really made, which is ex-
ceedingly d%oubtful-was the outcome
of a morbid state of mind. due to the
emperor's sickness, or was merely a
topic flung out to awaken discussion.
can only be conjectured. Certainly it
does not sound like a genuine utter
ance from a ruler who has held such
firm convictions on the divine right
of kings as he has held in the past.
In May, 1890. in his famous Konigsberg
speech. he said: This kingship, by
the grace Of Cod. expresses the fact
that we Hohenzollerns accept our mis-
sion only from heaven and arr re-
sponsible to heaven for the perform
ance of its duties" Less than a year
ago. while unwilling a statue to his
father at Aix-la-Chapelle, he said,
concerning his Inheritance Of the i'm
perial crown: 1T is a glorious Jewel,
a jewel from which, under Gods pro-
lection. rich blessing has gone out to
the fatherland." OF the break with
Bismark he said: 1T is so ordered for
me by God, and 1t must be borne!"
There are doubtless many things cred
tied to the potentates and other high
p~ersonages that never happened. It
was u own Emerson who, nearly
half a century ago, wrote: God said
i am tired of kings but he wrote
in the strain OF the philosopher and
poet rather than Of the political OBJ
server. and most people have already
forgotten the passage. The likelihood
n the present case is that whatever
Emperor William really did say to
Historian Won Kroon has acquired it's
!!urid and p%ortentous color at the
hands of the socialistic press of Ger
many. Even in this progressive
