The republican state convention
which met and finished its work in
Palatka on Tuesday last was particularly
noticeable for the amount of harmony
that 1t is possible to pack into one small
convention hall by political experts who
are I'D in their business. There was but
one discordant note, but the thing that
happened to the niggerS who uttered 1t,
simply went to emphasize the impor-
lance of completing the work of the
convention in strict conformity with
the lines as laid down by the Federal
officials who were in control. Any
other plan would have called into ac-
ton the Sheriff of Putnam county, who
was present by request TO see that the
rule of harmonious action was strictly
enforced. and that the lion and the
lamb should lie down together while
Ioe. Lee led them beside the still waters
of the administration trough. PreSi-
dent Tafts administration was endorsed
and solid Taft delegation was selected
to represent Florida in the national re-
publican convention. There was no
enthusiasm over the mention of the
Presidents name. The convention
met for purpose-that purpose was 10
endorse President Taft. That done the
meeting adjourned.

GREAT ROW OVER BEAN SOUP
Put on Menu of Banquet to Visiting
President, 1t Was Denounced
as Plebeian.

Denver has been stirred to its
depths by the disturbance over the
menu for the president at banquet,
Seven hundred citizens have put up
their dollars and taken their dress
suits out of storage. AS incense rises
from mothballs and tar paper, the
clangor of controversy fills the air.
AS the banquet is to be held at night,
the arbiter elegantiarum is not called
upon to decide whether full dress
suits shall be worn in the daytime.
Discussion RACES around the soup. The
rest of the menu is settled. So far
as we can learn, it includes celery,
cigarettes, olive oil, cigars, cake,
"mile-high" cocktails, oysters, ice
cream, lettuce salad, mashed potatoes,
vegetables, cheese, radishes, nuts,
broiled SQUAD, beefsteak, crackers
and champagne. So far so good. But
when the husky, hearty mountaineers
proposed to serve bean soup certain
mollycoddles who had crept into the
committee objected on the ground
that it was distinctly plebeian. That
is considered terrible accusation in
Denver, where recherche is an insult
and creme de menthe crime. "Bean
soup is good enough for any mar"
spoke up the natives, "and no one
who turns up his nose at 1t is fit to be
the president of the plain people"
At first, we gather from the confused
accounts, the tenderroots insisted up
on consomme royale aux petit pois,
but at last agreed to compromise on
cream of tomato.
Do they contend that the tomato is
more aristocratic than the bean? 1t
is an insult to Boston, blow at Bev-
erly. Look at Observation-Disclosures
she stands, with a president on the
one hand and a pot of beans on the
other. If this be plebeian make the
most of it!-Baltimore Sun.

snencsr and Free Libraries.

Ruskin's dislike for public Libraries
was shared to the full by Herbert
Spencer. When the trustees of the
British Library of Political Science
asked Spencer to present his works to
the library, he replied: From time
to time l have had various applica-
lions akin to the one you make, and
have in all cases declined compliance.
/ disapprove of free libraries alto
gether, the British museum included,
believing that in the long run they
are mischievous rather than benefi-
cial; as we see clearly in the case of
local and municipal free libraries
which, instead Of being places for
study, have become places for reading
trashy novels, worthless papers, and
learning the odds. ! no more approve
of free libraries than approve of free
bakeries

ARE CHILDREN
WORTH SAVING?

"Are the children of the United States
worth ne-eighth as much as bugsi"
Hon Andrew ]. Peters, member of
Congress from Massachusetts,, asked this
rather startling question at Louisville
last Sunday at maSsmeeting on child
labor. Mr.. Peters showed that the Blu
reau of Animal Industry costs the coun.
try 81 ,654, $50 year, and that the Bureau
of Plant Industry costs $2,O51 ,6S6. The
proposed children's bureau would cost
$29, 44O and would investigate child
labor, infant mortality and other impor
tant phases of child conservation. 1t is
being opposed, of course, by some
manufacturers who want to employ ba-
bieS in cotton-m mills, coal mines and
other places admirably adapted for the
growth of mind and body and the de-
velopment of sturdy American men and
women. In some quarters the inveSti-
CATION OF child labor is regarded as an
unwarranted invasion of personal liber-
ty. Certainly! Public schools were so
regarded in their early days. The
Journal of the American Medical Asso-
citation says that no doubt we shall soon
have National League for Juvenile
Freedom, secretly financed by the coal
and cotton barons, and demanding for
the child the right 10 labor when and
where it pleases. On The other hand
there is a growing tendency in this
country to regard the baby crop as
worth conserving.

THEN AND NOW.

On November 9Th, 1904, Theodore
Roosevelt, then President of the United
States, made this public statement:
son the 4th of March next shall
have served three and half years, and
this three and half years constitute my
first term. The wise custom which
limits the President to two terms re-
CARDS the substance and not the form.
And under no circumstances will be
a candidate for or accept another nom
nation"
On December nth, 1907, while his
name was being freely used in connec-
ton with third term, speaking OF his
previous announcement to representa-
tive of the New York World, President
Roosevelt said: 81 have not changed
and shall not change that decision thus
announced"
