W. D. ROYCE WAS
 PIONEER YELLOW JOURNALIST

There is much difference of opinion
 among the gentlemen of the Fourth
 Estate as to who was the original
 yellow journalist. For my part,
 am inclined to think that the credit
 is to be given, or responsibility sad cago, publisher of those well known
 family weeklies, the Saturday Blade
 and the Chicago Ledger, Having ac-
 quired a fortune from the retailing of
 scandal, murder and sudden death,
 MT. Boyce of late years has become
 ed in such laudable journalistic en-
 terprises as scientific expedition by
 balloon over darkest Africa, and d
 tour of Latin-America designed to ac-
 quaint the people of North America
 with information as to how the other
 the Boyce publications were always
 about two jumps ahead of St. An
 thony Comstock.
 William D. Boyce was born in AL legheny county. Pa, ffty-two years ago, and was reared on farm. His education, commenced in the schools of his native bailiWick, was polished off at Wooster University, Ohio. In
 1881 he removed to Chicago. and be-
 came an advertising solicitor for a
 monthly magazine. Next we find him
 as book agent in Minnesota, seek ing subscribers for an industrial his- tory. A short experience as the edi-
 tor and publisher of a country news
 paper in Dakota added much to his experience, but little to his pocket
 book, so he tried a whirl at politics.
 In 1884. during the Cotton Exposition in St. Louis, he organized a news bu-
 reau. Returning to Chicago, he es- ing house, supplying a large number of country newspapers with boiler plate innards. A similar business in Winfield, Kan., was quite successful. The Saturday Blade was establish ed in Chicago by MT. Boyce in CO., operation with two eastern newspaper
 men. For a time it doddered along, barely paying expenses. and finally the publication was turned over to MT. Boyce, who had taken no active part in it's management, for a mere
 song. Immediately the weekly began to feel the thrill of life along it's keel,
 MT. Boyce produced a publication that Fox's Police Gazette, the backstairs gossip Journals of London and as Bea- dle dime novel, and the inhabitants of Western villages simply late it up." If all the men and boys, scat tered throughout the Western part of 1.-the United States and Canada, who have started their business careers by selling the Saturday Blade, could be
 assembled, they would make an im- mense army.
 !! In the early days the Blade staff was composed of exchange readers, re- write editors, and an artist or two, and they ransacked. the press of the world for accounts of the risQue, the sensational, the horrible, the scandal ous and the spicy. These stories were embellished by the Blade editors and | illustrated by the Blade artists and served piping hot by Blade newsboys in every town and hamlet west of Chicago It was a tame and disap- pointing Blade that did not contain
 half dozen pictures of man shoot ing or stabbing a woman-with the lady preferably in her nighty-gown. The pornography of lust and the DOT nography of bloodshed were combined

BALLOTS AND NONSENSE

London newspapers opposed to wo- man suffrage are just now asserting that if women receive the ballot they must no longer expect to be sent first to the lfeboats, as they were on the Titanic
 Our esteemed contemporary, The Hartford Times, takes a few whacks as this logic, as follows:
 When the white ship of the Nor mans went down the only boat was used to save the prince. This shows that mariners should rule princes
 When the Tecumseh lost her bot tom in Mobile Bay, Craven and his pilot started for the exit of the con- ming tower. After you pilot, said Craven. The pilot was saved, but the captain was lost, which proves that captains should vote and pilots not.
 But. says our contemporary, the case of Jim Bludsoe. who ''held her nozzle agin the bank. till the last galoot went ashore seems to prove that the franchise is for pilots only.
 And from the Bourgogne a hun dred men and one woman, which shows that males ought not to have the ballot at all.
 In the fire in the Iroquois theatre in Chicago women and men escaped in about e4ual number which proves that the ballot should be divided. a half one to each individual of either sex
 If woman suffrage were in fact a bad thing it's enemies would make it look good by the quality of their

WIDE CARS

Apropos the ten foot centers con troversy, it might be wise to inquire regarding the width of cars; to com pare those in use here with those In other cities. It is asserted that the Connecticut Company is attempting to use very wide cars which occupy a great deal of the transverse section of the streets. Is this necessary It is easier to run narrower cars than to widen narrow streets?

In some places the move ment has been taken seriously but for the most part it's usefulness, has been largely confined. to furnishing a newspaper paragraphers.

 The Swedish people celebrated yes- terday the f1fty-fourth birthday of King Gustaf ", of the house of Der nadette. the youngest royal dynasty of Europe. Personally the Swedish ruler is among the most democratic of monarchs. He is fond of athletics and all outdoor sports and will be very interested spectator of the Olym- pic Games to be held in his capital next month. When Sweden was con- vuIsed by labor troubles not long ago, the King astounded his advisers by donning overalls and working as stevedore, carrying sacks of coal, in order to get first hand information as to the labor side of the controversy. His disguise was not penetrated for several weeks and he was able to meet the toilers on terms of equality. On numerous occasions he has coAtribut- ed to funds for the benefit of men on and has given audiences to the lead ers of the labor unions and to Social ist politicians. King GuStafs heir, Crown Prince Gustaf Adolphus, mar ried Princess Margaret, daughter of the Duke of Connaught, Governor three sons and one daughter. The marriage of the Swedish Crown Prince and Princess Margaret was said to have been a love match. The Der nadette dynasty dates from a little over century ago, and was founded by Napoleon's general, Jean Baptist Jules Bernadette, the son of a peas ant. He ascended the throne as King Charles XIV, and reigned more than a quarter of a century. Upon his death in 1844 it was found that ta'tooed on his arm was picture of guillotine. and the phrase, Mort aux Rois ct Tyrans," which means, Death to all kings and tyrants.'' A strange sen timent, indeed, for a monarch, but one entirely in accord with his opin- ions when, as a private in the French republican army, he had stood on duty at the foot of the scaffold when Louis XVI was led to execution, and had cheered when the royal head fell into the bloody basket

FIRST NATIONAL REPUBLICAN
 CONVENTION 56 YEARS AGO

In view of the fact that tomorrow Will witness the opening in Chicago
 of the Republican national convention,
 1t is interesting to note that the first
 national assemblage of that party for
 the purpose of nominating candi-
 date for President of the United
 States was convened on June IT, 1856,
 Just fifty-six years ago today. Phil
 adelphla was the scene of that pioneer
 gathering of the representatives of a party that was fated, after an initial defeat, to remain in power for many decades to come. Harmony marked
 the convention from first to last, and
 on the first formal ballot John Char
 les Fremont, of California, was nomi-
 mated for President, receiving 329 votes to thirty-seven cast for Mclean
 of Ohio and one for w. H. Seward.
 William l.. Dayton, of New Jersey,
 was nominated for Vice President.
 The platform dealt mainly with the
 issues that were soon to plunge the
 United States into a bloody civil war.
 It declared against the repeal of the Missouri Compromise, against the ex-
 tension of slavery into the free terri
 tories, and called for the admission of Kansas as a free State. The Presi-
 dential candidate. John c. Fremont,
 was Free-soiler. while Dayton. the Vice Presidential nominee, was an Old Whig. With the rally cry of Free
 soil, free speech, free men. Fremont"
 the Republicans waged vigorous campaign, but were defeated by the
 Democrats, who had chosen James
 Buchanan. of Pennsylvania, as their
 however, elected 92 out of 237 Con-
 gressmen.
 The Republican party originated in 1854, when the name was applied at a conference held in Ripon, Wis, and was later adopted by State conven-
 tions in Michigan, Ohio, Maine, In diana, Illinois and Iowa. The party tions that had been split from the Democrats and the Whigs by the sla- very agitation, while consid element was the F'ree-Soil party, which had attained prominence through it's agitation to prevent the introduction of slavery into Kansas. The leaders held very diverse opinions gether by the determination not to see the territories, and especially those north of the Athirty-six- thirty line, opened to slavery. A national organ iza tion of the party was completed at meeting in Pittsburgh, Pa, early in 1856, when the national nominating convention was called for June 17 of that year. Defeated in it's first cam
 paign, the party was successful in it's second, when Abraham Lincoln was
 elected President and Hannibal Ham lin Vice President. Aside from oppo- sition to slavery, the platform in that
 year advocated "a protective tariff, 8

China today faces the greatest
crisis in its history. Two and a
half millions of its population is
IN the throes of a famine; robber
bands practically run the interior,
while the navigable waters are in
tested by pirates. A condition of
anarchy reigns throughout the
empire. Scenes of horrible cruelty
on every hand are described by
Europeans who have been COM
PEELED to flee.
Limchow city has been plund-
cred and burned by 5000 brigands.
Hundreds of girls have been kid
mapped. Chinese women, of the
better class, walked to Pakhoi.
They were repeatedly attacked Oh
the road, and on arrival went beg
ging protection from door to door
of the foreign houses which are
the only safe refugees.
Pakhoi is also in the hands of
the brigands. They captured rs
girls and carried them off. Later
some of the girls were brought
back on wheel barrows, dead.
Executions are the order of the
day. 1t is sickening sight to see
soldiers opening the bodies of be-
headed Cinnamon and carrying
away the livers to fry and eat.
The realization of the true state
of affairs will como shortly, and

ton, China must face intervention
