MAD NO TINE FOR SUMMING
After Answering Impertinent and su.
perciIious Questions Hostess
? Hands London Lady a Jolt.

The Rev. Sylvester Horne, the noted
liberal clergyman and member Of par.
hament of London, was talking at
dinner about charity.
s'The trouble with most charity" he
said, 'fs that it is administered in
xrudging, condescending spirit Char
ny, to have any effect, must be ad-
mfnistered in a spirit of absolute SYM
pathy-a spirit, I may also say, of alb
solute humility, To uplift, get under
neath,' as the philosophic Ade we'll
said.
There was once London lady, the
wife of a millionaire promoter, who
decided, being rather bored, to go in
for charity. So she rang for her elec-
trio brougham and glided in luxur-
ious silence down to the New Cut.
'The lady selected the very worst
house in the New Cut, and she paid a
call of about half an hour on the poor,
tired, underfed woman who lived
there. The questions she asked this
woman were supercilious and imperti-
nent. The lady had very good time.
But when she came to 90, her hos
tess, whose cheeks were now un-
wontedly red, rather spoiled her gooG
time by saying quietly:
well, goodbye, madam. l don't
suppose I'll see you again. The fact

Queer Audience Views Comedv.

~NSS' NAa1CHSC SIO"S SOH1SUys
A four-act comedy recently given by
the New York School for the Hard OF
Hearing, created singularly weird
impression amongst those present
who were not familiar with lip read
ing and the sign language. Words
were used, but they were not meant
to be heard, for the players and most
OF the audience were deaf. Cues and
clever lines alike were read, not
heard, and the lips of the silent speak
ors were the media. Even the hand
clapping, with which some of the
audience, unfamiliar with the conven-
tions of the lipo-drama, were prompt
ed to express their applause, was dis
cOuraged by the knowing ones, who
seemed to manifest their approval by
an airy wave of the hand aloft. In
the longer play presented, pity was
taken upon that portion of the audi
ence which, though able to hear, was
30 ill-equipped as not to be able to
read the lips of the performers. So
In Many Slip 'Twixt the Girl and
the Lip" the lines were read out
loud. even though they were not
heard by any of the members OF the
cast.

The Best Investment.

The time is approaching fast when we
all say that life is one horrid grind.
Summer is upon US and with it comes
that tired feeling" Wife and children
are sent 10 the shore or the mountains,
well-to-do-friends are booking" for
Europe, and often when you call upon
busy man in his Office you will find
him busy studying the maps OF rail
roads that lead into cooler regions.
Others again are planning motor trips.
What does all this mean? Only that we
are tired; tired of the daily grind We
may not have realized it before, or if
we have, it was not to such an extent.
but what with humidity almost unbear-
able, with torrid days, with a change
of weather almost as regular as the
meals we eat, and its results upon the
most sturdy constitution, we have come
to realize that we are tagged out.
And we are! But fatigue may be
fought off by any sensible person who
has the good sense to take his vacation
as seriously as he does his business
and recuperates his exhausted vitality
Where small but continuous overstrain
is suffered without recuperation it pro-
duces serious results; not so noticeable
at once perhaps, but certain nevertheless,
until it all ends in the final snap"
Fatigue decreases efficiency. The re-
fex actions of the brain are less i'm
mediate. One thinks less clearly when
fatigued; one becomes depressed, which
is but another name for lowered vi
tality, meaning again deficiency.
A vacation is really dn investment for
health and. efficiency Employers should
make such an annual investment for
the sake of their work as well as for
the sake of their employees. They
should take their own vacation as an
investment also. Mind your business
by making a business Of your mind -
Produce change of thought by your
willingness, your healthful desire. your
ability to change, and get fresh elas-
ticity, fresh inspiration, fresh vigor for
such a change When you feel like do
ing only one thing it is a sign of age
and of the creeping fracture that one
day must lead to the final wreck.
Take your vacation, and above all,
enjoy it

offered his amendment TO the HadIey
motion. In brief. the amendment was
that all Of the contests should be re-
feTred to the committee on credentials,
but that none of the delegations contest
ed should be represented in the commit
tee on credentials when the contest was
being passed upon
HcGOvern Seconds Motion.
Gov. McGovern. Of Wisconsin took the
platform TO secure the amendment or
Gov. Deneen. as the time for debate had
expired. His seconding the motion was
merely formal.
Then Mr.. Watson, OF Indiana, made a
motion that the amendment OF Gov De-
neen be tabled. This motion was greet
ed with deTisive shouts for the Roosevelt
forces on the floor and the Roosevelt
enthusiasts in the gallery.
Chairman Root ordered a roll call on
the motion Of Watson to lay Deneen
amendment on the table As this vote
was 10 show whether or not the Tart
forces had been able to retain their full
strength over night, there was the keen
est interest taken in the roll call, not
only by the delegates, but by the spec
tators as well On the floor and in the
galleries there were hundreds who were
keeping tab on the vote, and when any
learn what the vote OF any particular
State had been. that contingent refused
to let the proceedings go on until curios-
ity had been satisfied through the mega
phone.
The motion to lay Gov. Deneen 5 amend
ment on the table prevailed by a Vote OF
55 to SO. four not voting.
T. r. Men Lose Heart.
This showing seemed TO take the heart
out Of the Roosevelt forces. Il demon
strated that they were unable TO make
any large breach in the Taft support.
They were able to gain but eight votes
over the vote which they cast yesterday
for Gov. McGovern OF Wisconsin to be
temporary chairman Of the convention,
and this despite the fact that Wisconsin
to-day cast twenty-siX votes for the De-
neen amendment. while yesterday she
gave only thirteen votes for the election
Of McGOvern TO the temporary chairman
ship.
The Roosevelt men gained two votes in
New York on the test to-day. the New
York vote on the Deneen amendment be-
ing seventy-five for and fifteen against.
After the defeat Of the Deneen amend
menl. the original motion Of Mr.. Wat
son. Of Indiana, to refer all OF the con-
tests to the committee on credentials
was declared carried by Chairman Root,
no roll call being demanded.
Chairman Root then made a statement
to the convention in which he declared
that the action OF the convention had
been in accord with the recognized best
parliamentary procedure.
Ire committees Cn credentials and res
oIutions were then announced, after
which the convention was adjourned. The
committee on credentials stands twenty
nine for Taft and twenty-four for Roose-
velt
Immediately after the adjournment 4
the convention both the committee on
credentials and the committee on resOlu-
tions went into session. Both committees
will have their reports ready for presen-
tatiOn to the convention when It assem-
bles tomorrow.

The Significance Of Root.

To begin with, however any one may
feel about the results $50 far) of the
convention at Chicago, every one,
whether a Taft or a Roosevelt man,
Republican or Democrat, ought to be
grstihed and have a sense of relief,
that the selection of a temporary
chairman was conducted and completed
in an orderly fashion and in accord
ance with parliamentary rules. This
goes % prove once more that the Amer
ican common sense has too firm a hold
upon all of US in cases where it is nee
essary to show some and that all that
talk of giving them the sword" or
Shooting of the roof" are but to be
classed with what we are used to hear
in all political campaigns, as indeed they
were by the intelligent and thinking
voter.
The contest was sharp and close
that was as it should be, every delegate
having the right to express his desire
or objection-but, greatly to the credit
of the warning factions be it said, it
was conducted in a most orderly fash
ion, without resort to a desire by the
dissatisfied ones to take things into
their own hands. Something must be
allowed for overwrought nerves and
temper in so important a conflict, but
the talk of violence and stampede,
which was so prevalent as to call for
exceptional measures on the part of
the authorities in expectation of riot,
was an insult upon our fundamental
traditions.

But, say the Roosevelt men, the Root
vote has demonstrated that men on trial
were allowed to be their own jury. 1t
was, in effect, a trial of delegates ac-
cused by the Roosevelt adhererts to
have stolen their seats. The Roosevelt
leaders had endeavored to hold this
trial on the temporary roll itself. 1t is
true that both Taft and Roosevelt dele
gates voted for Root, and this gives the
latter the assumed right, to say that
those "on trial" were acquitted, not by
innocent delegates, but by themselves.
All this will have to be decided on the
floor during the credentials debate And
this may be the result
The poll for Root and the outcome
achieved by the votes of men whose
right to vote was on trial could bring
about a situation where it is question
able if Roosevelt will accept the YER
dict. Failing an agreement upon a COM
promise nominee, there is only one way
that he could undertake to reverse the
verdict. This would be a convention of
his own. with the responsibility of new
proceedings from A to z, meaning, of
course, a third ticket in the field, a new
party formed, the road to the White
House and to Congress opened to the
Democrats. and perhaps the wreck of
the Republican party.
Is Mr.. Roosevelt prepared to go to
these lengths? And if he Is. will his
hackers. his advisers, will Wall Street
permit him to do so, or will his power
full hackers drop him to save the party?

The Root vote, in our estimation
does not mean that Mr.. Taft is to be
nominated on the first ballot, nor does
it forecast the defeat Of Col Roosevelt
nor that La Toilette or Cummins, sin
gly or combined, hold the balance of
power IL the Republican National Con-
vention. 1t means no bolt, nor that
a third candidate will have to appear
TO save the convention from a dead
lock.
But what the Root election does mean
IS that Mr.. Taft will make a better
showing on the first ballot than Mr..
Roosevelt It also undeniably shows
that the Roosevelt forces have made in
roads upon the Taft camp in the South
And, last, but far from least, it does
mean that, if given the opportunity,
delegates from Illinois, Maryland, and
Oregon will divide in favor of the
President, and that the La Toilette and
Cummins vote never will be thrown to
the support Of either of the two leading
candidates
OF course, there were some thrill
ers" The detection of a number of
Southern delegates to Roosevelt; New
York's loyalty to Taft and Barnes +;
Maryland's split and the votes of Ore
gon and Illinois in favor of the Presi-
dent; the refusal of Wisconsin to line
up for its own candidate, and the loss
Of the entire Hawaiian delegation to
Root.
One thing has been proven to a dead
certainty. The result of the vote has
discredited the pre-convention claims
Of the leaders in both camps. For, in
stead OF having 500 votes, as the Taft
managers often assured the public, the
most they could muster with the aid of
a number of Roosevelt men to defeat
Gov. McGovern, Roots rival, was $50,
that is eighteen votes more than the
convention strength. And Roosevelt
did not have the clear" majority so
often insisted upon by Senator Dixon.
We will add that had more votes
been needed to place Root in the chair
they would have been Forthcoming, for
Root was the choice of the majority of
the delegates, who firmly believe in his
ability and desire for fair play. But
this holds good only as far as Root is
concerned, unless we misread the signs.
Mr.. Taft's nomination on the first ballot
appears an impossibility now, unless
he can recover his lost Hawaiian dele
gates and unless he can manage TO re-
gain at least some of the Southern men
who left his standard and lined I'D with
the Roosevelt people for the temporary
chairmanship.
OF course, it is even less likely that
Roosevelt could be named on the first
ballot His most ardent supporters know
that he could not draw enough strength
from the Taft camp to make that pos
sible. Nor can he figure upon a sup
port from the La Toilette or Cummins
factions He will regain the eight
Maryland, three Oregon, and nine ILL
nois votes who left him for the one
purpose Of nominating Root; but these,
