WILL ENFORCE THE
SMOKE ORDINANCE
Council Gives Fire Chief Mil
Ter This Order at Meet
ing Last Night.

Factories in this city which are pro-
ducing much smoke and. which can
remedy the evil by lengthening their
chimney stacks, by putting in new
boilers and stokers are to be given Or
ders to do this at once. Fire Chief Mil
Ter was given this authority by coun-
Gil last evening after spirited debate
on this subject. The Light, Heat and
Power company is the worst offender.
This company claims that no device
can be secured which will effectively
put stop to the smoke, and that if
anyone will suggest guaranteed de-
vice to diminish the somke from its
plant in the river. bottom they will
put in the device at once. They can
not use the Jones stokers in use at the
city light plant because of the peculiar
arrangement of their machinery.
Several other smoke producers will
be hauled over their own Goals unless
they proceed to comply with the pro-
visions of the city ordinance which is
to be enforced to the limit now.

A PROTEST TO TAFT.

CHICAGO, June IS, I'll o'clock
The Illinois delegation, which is for
Roosevelt, at a caucus this forenoon
protested in telegram to President
Taft against permitting delegates to
the convention, whose seats have been
contested voting on their own eligibili-
ty.
The issue was put squarely up to
President Taft and his reply was anx-
iously awaited. At the hour of conven-
inging Illinois delegation adopted this
resolution: THAT no action shall be
taken in any matter that pertains to
the temporary organization that is not
approved by $40 uncontested and I'M
tainted delegates" This offer, in plain
words, means the reopening of the.co
test. This telegram was sent to Presi-
dent Taft: I'VE protest against the
plan whereby delegates whose seats
are contested are permitted to vote on
their own contests and being seated
by shigh-handed methods, and think it
would be unworthy Of the President of
the United States to accept a renomi-
nation obtained in that way" Both
sides hope for reply from the White
House before marching to the Coli
scum.
CoIoneIs uItimatum.
Governor Deneen appointed Law
renee Y. Sherman, Martin V Madden
and John L. Hamilton a committee to
wait upon Roosevelt and returned in
twenty minutes with the word that
Roosevelt ndorsed the plan and also
brought an ultimatum regarding two
conventions, This ultimatum was:
Two conventions if the IS delegates
lawfully elected and instructed for me
are excluded" and If the IS delegates
occupying seats stolen from me by the
Republican National Committee are al
lowed to vote on the temporary chair
man" The proposition was carried
hct-foot TO the Taft camp. Unofficially.
the Taft leaders declared they would
not accept it. They propose the battle
shall go to the finish at today's session
c. the convention. and Roosevelt must
either win by prosecuting over the
steam roller tactics or not at all.

A Doctor of DANCING.

In France during the reign Of Louis
XIV. dancing took very prominent
position among court festivities, and
many members of the royal family took
part in the complex ballets Of the time.
Louis himself, no mean performer, took
lessons for twenty years from Beau.
champs, who was called the father of
all dancing masters and upon whom
the king conferred the title doctor as
a special mark Of favor. Beauchamps
had the honor Of appearing as partner
with the king in the minuet, a dance
which was introduced in 1850 in
France, and no court ball was opeaed
IN Europe for century and a half
without 1t. About the year 1861 a
royal academy of dancing was formed
under the auspices of Beachamps.
Lulli, Moliere and others, the object of
which was to elevate the art and check
all abuses. OF this acaiemy Beau
champs was chief, with tie title of di

COLLEGE LIFE TODAY.
Student Ideals Much Higher THAI
They Were Fifty Years AGO.


They Were Fifty Years Ago.
Not only upon the shields OF our
American universities do we find
"veritas." In spirit ut least 1t is also
clearly written across the face OF the
entire college life of our times. Gen.
temanliness. openmindedness, original.
fty, honor, patriotism, truth-these are
increasingly found in both the serious
pursuits and the play life of our Amer
lean undergraduates. The department
in which these ideals are sought Is not
so important as the certainty that the
student is forming such ideals OF thor.
oughness and perfection.
Furthermore. the standards Of morals
and conduct among the American IN.
dergraduates are perceptibly higher
than they were fifty years ago. There
is a very real tendency in the line of
doing away with such celebrations rs
have been connected with drinking and
immoralities. To be sure. one will al
ways find students who are often
worse for their bacchic associations.
and one must always keep in mind
that the college Is on earth and not in
heaven. But a comparison of student
customs today with those of fifty years
ago gives cause for encouragement
