THE CHICAGO CONVENTION

Chicago, Convention Hall, June 49,
For the first time in the history of a ma
tional convention, not a picture of the
President hangs in the Coliseum, where
today 1,078 delegates from the states and
territories of the United States met to
name candidate for President and Vice
President and to formulate party plat
form.
Chicago, June 20.-The Roosevelt
forces met second defeat in the Repub-
lican national convention today, in q
session which had as its outstanding
feature, remarkable demonstration of
nearly an hour in honor Of Governor
Hadley, Of Missouri. All the Roosevelt
delegates joined in the demonstration,
some of the Taft states lending their
voice. The ovation to Hadley was
quickly interpreted by many of the dele
gates as possible forerunner of boom
for Hadley for President. One enthusi.
astic Pennsy ylvanian jumped to the stage,
and called for "three cheers for Hadley
the next President of the United States" "
Hadley led the fight on the conven.
tion floor today to oust the 92 contested
Taft delegates and to seat 90 Roosevelt
men in their places. The convention
finally refused to entertain the Hadley
motion. This transferred the fight to
the committee on credentials, which was
appointed just before the convention ad.

The June 1 Crop Promise.

The Government returns Of area and
condition of crops 60 far to confirm the
reports of improvement so generally re-
ported during May, but also indicate
that the early planted or maturing crops
hold few prospects of large yields. A
large decrease from year ago in winter
wheat is Offset by q large prospective
gain in spring wheat, with the net re.
suit slight increase over last year, but
q decrease of 10000, 600 bushels from
the record production of 1901, over @
decade ago. Oats promise large though
not record yield, and hay, of the early
crops, alone promises close to top fig
ures.
Aside from the general complaint tha,
1t 10 too cool for corn the country over
crop reports are quite favorable. Small
grain has been benefited by this COO
weather. and in Kansas and Nebrasks
the heaviest rains of the season have
checked deterioration in winter wheat
Good reports come from the north west
where timely rains are reported. Coco
yields of wheat are reported In Texal
and Oklahoma. The Oklahoma whea
crop 10 estimated locally at 1S, ,0O0,O {,

that of last year, but 5000, 900 to 1000,

ApUL TERATHp FOOD AND DRUGS.

Vermillion, June 20.-(Special to the
CHRONICLE. THE second list of adulter-
ated foods and drugs is just being mail
ed from the Office Of the Food and Drug
department to the various County Audi
tors Of the State for publication in the
various official papers. The list has
been delayed for nearly three months
on account Of the fact that several man
ufacturers, wholesalers and dealers
threatened to sue the Commissioner for
damages If their goods were advertised
throughout the State as adulterated, and
it was necessary for the Commissioner
to give them hearing and also to have
several items of foods and drugs rean-
alyzed in order to eliminate any posi-
bility of a mistake. After re-examina-
ton, however, it was found that no mis-
take had been made in any instance and
the list has gone forward as first pre-
pared for publication.
The publication of lists of adultsrated
foods and drugs is very important fac
tor in the enforcement of the pure food
and drug laws. Adulterated and spuri-
GUS articles cannot stand the glare OF
publicity. The Publicity Law has the
effect of driving them from the market;
consequently, certain vested interests
that have been guilty Of selling large
quantities of adulterated goods in South
Dakota have threatened to 90 before the
Legislature and demand the repeal oi
the Publicity Law, requiring the publi-
cation of adulterated foods and drugs in
, every official paper In the State. Com
missioner Cook, however, has announced
, that he will oppose any effort to have
, the law repealed as it is one of the most
useful laws ever placed upon the statute
books and IL of tremendous value In
compelling the sale Of pure foods and
drugs.

A RLuE Sky LAW.

''Such law is need ed in every state,
says the Chicago Record Herald in dis
cussing the "blue-sky" law of Kansas
which has practically put an end to the
sale OF worthless stocks in the sunfowsr
state. This measure has been fully dis
cussed in the newspapers of South Ds'
kota and at the next session of the Leg
islature, it is likely that a measure sim
liar to that already enacted in Kansas
will be introduced and passed.
In an address before the Iowa Bank
ers association, B. F. Harris, president
Of the Illinois Bankers association, de
clared that every year the people of the
United States are swindled out of 30t
million dollars through the sale of fake
and wildcat securities.
1t is the purpose of the blue-sky Law
to put stop to this swindling. Undel
its provisions before stock can be offer
ed for sale in Kansas, the company of
fsring it for sale must 60 before the Sec
retary of State and file statement
showing what is back of the concer n
what is its actual capital, its holding
and its prospects. Unless the company
can make good in its showing, the stool
can not be put on the market in Kansas
A vast sum has already been saved Il
the small investors in Kansas by thi
law, and similar saving will result il
South Dakota when the measure is en-
acted into law here.
The buying public is entitled TO tb,
facts about any corporation which oaer
its stock for sale, and Operations whc
are unable to make a showing shoqit
not be permitted to sell their stock I,

titled to this protection.-Sioux Fall

Washington, June II. - All ocean
steamers entering American ports in the
future must be equipped with life boats
sufficient to carry at one time every
passenger and member of the crew,
according to new regulations adopted
by the Steamboat Inspection Service
and approved by Secretary Nagel. In
the case of Coastwise, Lake, Bay and
Sound Steamers, life boats for all aboard
must be carried, except from May 10 to
September Is, when for various reasons
such travel is comparatively safe. Dur
ing that period, Coastwise Steamers
must have life saving capacity for at
least 60 per cent Of those on board and
Lake, Bay and Sound Steamers for at
least 80 per cent.

"The Sweetest Girl in Paris"

Rarely does a musical play contain
anywhere near as many conspicuous
ensemble and deliberately staged song
hits as does "The Sweetest Girl in

original cast and chorus that captivat-

Ito say nothing of brains and inven-
i've ingenuity--to make musical
comedy replete with bewitchingly-
produced numbers, and that Is why
one or two novel effects are genuine
~ compelled to counterbalance num-
erous solos and duets, wherein the
chorus IS kept in the background.
Not so. however, In THE Sweetest

least dozen deliberately stageo
songs, to say nothing of clever indi-

way of vocal effort
First and foremost, perhaps, is
Miss Gears Don't Forget the
Number" which Is being whistled
from coast to coast. During her in
imitable rendition OF this song, the
lights suddenly go out for a second,
and when they are switched on again
the audience sees q full-sized repre-
sentation of a street car occupying
the centre Of the stage, from the win
dows of which pretty members of the
chorus wave to the spectators.
"Mary's Lamb" is another delight
