As has always been the case In na.
uonal political conventions. the bulk
OF the work Of the Progressive gath.
ering was carried on in the commit
tees. The only semblance OF con.
flict OF opinion on the floor was a
brief debate rs to whether an hours
recess should be taken. The point
was not material. but as one delegate
expressed 1t, 1--WE Just had to fight
about something to make regular
convention"
There was sharp discussion in sew.
eral committee meetings and no little
difficulty in agreeing upon the plat.
form as finally adopted.
Colonel Roosevelt worked with the
subcommittee In charge OF the plat.
form until late Wednesday afternoon,
going over their work OF the two pre-.
vious days and nights and vigorously
helping to mould the draf. which ut
last proved acceptable to him. The
platform did not take up the negro

BENEFITS OF COLD STORAGE
Eaualizes Values OF Food Products
and Regulates Supply to Conform
to the Demand.
lBy II. NJ. HASTiNGSD

Cold storage is an evil only when
controlled by dishonest men. Prop.
erly conducted under lawful safe.
guards against the devices OF un.
scrupulous spectators 1t equalizes
values OF food products to the consum.
or. regulates the supply to conform to
the demand, provides a steady market
and consequently larger profit to the
producer and greater satisfaction TO
the consumer.
Cooperation among farmers, II
widely extended and wisely managed,
would do the same thing. 1t would
prevent the rushing OF crops to mar.
ket when prices are low. provide cap.
itai TO hold them. prevent ruinous
competition. reduce the cost OF selling
and prevent. losses through middle.
men.
Cooperation among farmers has
made less headway In the United
States than in other countries. The
two chief examples OF It's success here
are the fruit trade OF California and
the cooperative Creameries. OF which
some 1900 are in operation at the
present writing. To the writer's per.
sonal knowledge there Is only one
farmers cooperative egg.marketng
association In existence In the United
States. and that has been kept up
more from q desire to adhere to prln,
ciple than because the members were
financially reimbursed for their extra
trouble,
About one.half the egg business OF
Denmark is handled by cooperative
egg-e1port societies. which proves
that such method OF egg marketing
can be successfully carried on. The
other half OF the Danish egg trade Is
handled by private dealers. who are
equally severe in rejecting bad eggs
and maintaining the quality. from
which we may Judge that the system
OF egg handling BY private dealers Is
also capable OF putting out high
grade OF eggs.
The loss In this country due TO the
actual spelling OF eggs constitutes an
enormous waste, which could In n
large measure be saved we're eggs
given reasonable care from the time
OF laying until they reached the con
sumer.

For several hours during the after.
noon the throng in the Coliseum had
listened to G flow Of oratory In nomi.
mating and seconding speeches. in
which the dominant note expressed
was the belief that victory would
como to the new party N November.
Raymond Robbins Of Illinois pledged
q 100000 majority for the national
ticket in Illinois, and Clifford Pinchot
predicted 100000 majority for Col.
Roosevelt cnd Gov. Johnson in his
home state Of Pennsylvania. These
statements were cheercd to the echo.
The party formally christened itself
THE Progressive Party leaving out
the prefix National" by which it has
heretofore been known. but provision
was made for the recognition Of "real"
Progressives in any Of the states by
whatever name they should be locally
designated because Of state laws.
The convention adjourned with the
delegates singing the "Doxology" IN
lusty voice. During the three days It
was in session there was not a roll
call nor ballot The delegates asked
no such formalities. either in placing
their candidates in nomination or In
voting for them.
There was not voice OF opposition
either to Col. Roosevelt or Gov. John.
son. The delay in nominating them
was due to the large number Of sec.
onding speeches allowed.

Conspicuous among these is the
California Fruit Growers Exchange

which now represents 5000 growers.

waste at home and over.stocked mar.

alike practically eliminated.
Smaller but similar associations
handle about 25 per cent more OF the
California crop. leaving only Is per

Washington.-A determined fight is
to be made In the conference on the
Panama canal bill. against the grant.
Ing OF free passage In the canal to
American foreign.bound ships. The
conference committee held its first
meeting Monday and continued discus.
sion OF the measure at night ses.
sion.
Senator Brandegee. who opposed
free toll provisions in the Senate, is
understood to stand with Representa-.
tives Adamson and Stevens of the
House conferees, in opposing what
they consider a violation Of treaty
rights, and too great a concession to
:oreign-bound shipping. 1t is believed
from the preliminary conferences on
the measure that the free toll provi.
sion for American coastwise shipping
Will be retained.
Little progress was made in the first
session OF the conferees toward an
agreement on the Bourne amendment,
to divorce railroads from control Of
competing steamship lines and the
Reed amendment prohibiting trust.con.
trolled ships from using the Panama
canal. Both houses have Endorsed the
plan TO prohibit railroad-owned ships
from using the canal; but the Bourne
and Reed amendments are new matter
so far as the House is concerned.
The British government, according
to advices from the State Department.
has made no further representation
regarding the proposition to allow
American vessels to use the canal free
of tolls, since the note of Charge
Innes, July last. 1t is now awaiting,
1t is said, the enactment OF the legis.
lation and the adoption Of regulations
TO put 1t into effect in order to have a
sufficient basis for more formal pro-
test against what 1t regards as clear
breach of the existing treaty.
In recognition Of the superior right
OF Great Britain to address the United
States government on this subject by
virtue OF the existence of the Hay
Pauncefote treaty, other European na.
tions and even Japan have refralned
from approaching the State Depart.

is probable, In the opinion of govern
ment authorities, that the foreign OF.
lice will come forward with PROPOSE.
tion to submit the issue to arbitration,
calling attention to the existing Brit.
ish-American arbitration treaty as a
basis for the proposition.
This move would bring the matter
to a real crisis. Should arbitration be
adverse TO the American position. II
would be necessary. 1t is said, for the
State Department to find reasonable
grounds for a declination of the Brit.
ish overture. without laying itself
open to the charge that 1t had delib
crately violated the provisions OF the
treaty-tEe charge lodged against 1t
