For invisible Writing.

There are several ways in which
two persons can correspond with each
other unknown to even the persons
before whose eyes the very letter is
held For instance. new milk may be
used as ink. When dried this is In
visible. but IL coal dust or SCOT be
scattered upon the paper the writing
becomes legible. Diluted sulphuric
acid. lemon juice, solutions of nitrate
and chloride of cobalt or of chloride
of copper write colorless, but on being
heated the characters written with
the first two become black or brown.
and the latter green. And when the
paper becomes cool the writing disap-
pears, leaving the paper blank again.
Two good invisible inks are made by
saltpeter dissolved in water and equal
parts of sulphate of copper and sal
ammoniac dissolved in water-An-

Cutting hay on land for a series
Of years and then expecting to find 1t

pointment. Something will have been
accomplished In getting rid Of insect
pests by the change of crop and the
texture OF the soil will have been
improved by the organic matter from
the roots and what nitrogen the ciov-
ers have gathered. but where the clov.
ers have early run out even this will
not be a great advantage. Grass lands
need feeding. either with barnyard

delegates will be allowed to vote on his own case, but that all will be al-' lowed to vote on one another's cases. Such a ruling is sheer denial of jus tice and fair play. This case bears no analogy to ordinary cases where ccntesting delegates have no connec- tfon with one another and where there is no general conspiracy which must be considered as a whole. All of these 90 fraudulent delegates were seated at the same time by the votes of the national committee, to serve the same purpose. The credentials committee appointed to try their cases includes three of their number, from the states of Washington, Arizona and Texas, of which the delegations were stolen en mass. This commit tee selected as it's chairman the Gug- genheim delegate from Colorado, who had already as national committee man assisted in initiating the very frauds upon which he is now to sit in Judgment. Nothing that this com mittee may do is entitled to considera- tion and in considering what they do it will be well to keep in mind the re- mark made in private by one of the national committeeman who, when dSkSO WHY they HdQ StO1ou so many more delegates than were needed for their purpose, answered that it would enable the credentials committee to make show of generosity in seating some while maintaining number ann ply sufficient to accomplish the ends they sought. Moreover, it is we'll to remember that the fraud is equally great; and equally responsible wheth- CT fraudulent delegates actually vote on the nomination for President or whether they are merely seated to create a situation which renders it unnecessary for them to vote on the nomination of President.
 If the roll is not purged en mass of these fraudulently elected delegates, the whole action of the convention is tainted.
 "The committee on rules has just decided against the protest of the progressive members; provided for the perpetuation of the national commit tee in the form responsible for the scandalous outrages which have at this moment brought the Republican party to the breaking point and they have explicitly refused to recognize the principle of popular presidential primaries and have made the nation al committee supreme oyer the peo- pie in the matter of primaries.

R0OSEVELT'S STATEMENT

At the moment I can only serve these principles by continuing to bear the personal responsibility which their advocacy has brought me.
 "On behalf of these principles I made my appeals straight to the peo- pie themselves. I went before them, I made my argument in full and every move made was in the open, with out concealment of any kind. The opposition to me was extraordinarily bitter, for I was opposed by the prac- ticaliy solid phalanx of the big, con- scienceless politicians. with back of them the practically solid phalanx of the big constituencies beneficiaries of special privilege in every form, and of course the many big newspapers which are controlled by, or in the interest of the bosses and special priv hege.

In many of the Re- publican states and of the Democratic states where there is a large and real Republican party, primaries of differ ent kinds were held and substantial expression of the will of the people was obtained.

 Tn these states I obtained about six delegates to MT. Taft's one. Nearly three-fourths of my delegates came from these primary states where the people had a chance to express them selves.

THEODORE ROOSEVELT" 2"

One of the things that delighted the hearts of our fathers and grandfath- CTS when they were youngsters were the songs of the clown in the circus; in those days there were but few theatres in the country in which sing ing was done, only the largest sscities had theatres in which vaudeville per- formances were given, and they didn't call it vaudeville Tn those days, 5. it was variety shows.'' xfEss fr P 2
 Since the circus has grown so large as to require tents of such enormous size, az those for instance of the Bar mum & Bailey Show which returns to Bridgeport next Friday, 1t has been necessary to increase the number of rings and add two stages upon which performances may be given, in order that they may be brought within see ences. These great tents obliterated the talking and singing clowns, for not one clown in a thousand could make himself heard in all parts of a tent so big, so instead of the merry ject and the comic song the clown has become a creature of action and must creat his fun by his grotesque ap- lets, and his foolish movements, funny falls and visible pranks.
 The producing" clown is the real clown of today; he is the clown who can create new tricks, in which he is assisted by one or more of his fel- low fools, and in such show as Bar mum 6 Bailey's it is necessity to have a great many of these fun mak- CTS. The actual number being be- tween 50 and 60. These merry sons of Momus are busy almost every min- ute in some sort of foolery that keeps tn audience in a continuous roar of laughter, strange to say. however. there is with the Barnum & Bailey show one singing clown and he makes himself heard by every one in the au-

stated that if the people decided against me I would have nothing to say but if they decided for me, and the politicians then robbed me of some of the victory. I would not si- lently and tamely acquiesce. It was evident that my opponents, with MT. Tafts encouragement, intended to beat me by foul means, if they could not do so by fair means.
 The crucial, but not the only step in the concerted and hitherto success full" effort to cheat the people out of the victory they had fairly won, was taken up when the now defunct na- tional committee, without one show of Justification and with contempt of the most ordinary rules of decency, in making up the Temporary roll call, un- seated 90 fairly elected Roosevelt delegates and substituted for them 90 Taft delegates who in the conven- ton, represent nothing whatever but successful fraud. was clearly entitled to all these 90 delegates, all, the 90 possessed, for instance, clearer titles than the uncontested Taft delegates from New, York City and as to 70 of them, their titles were as flawless as those of any other delegates in the convention.
 'Mr. Root was elected and Cover nor Deneen's motion for partially cleaning the roll of fraud was de- feated by the vote of these 90 frau. dulent delegates, the last vote being vote on straight moral issue, the result of which. in my judgment, ought to render it impossible for any man longer to take part in the pro ceedings of the convention as now constituted. The majority in each case was slightly over 50. In each case, therefore, if it had not been for the rascality which placed these fraudulent delegates on the roll and permitted them to vote, the cause of decency would have won; MT. Mo- Govern would have been elected in place of MT. Root, Governor Deneen's 8 motion would have prevailed and the Republican national convention would now have been exercising in good faith the high, honorable and impor- tant function of honestly representing the wishes, the judgment and the in- terest of the plain people who make up the mass of the Republican par ty.
 Instead, it now represents nothing but successful political fraud perpe- trated. in the interest of political and financial privilege.
