'It is impossible to invent constitu- tional devices which will prevent the popular will from being effective for wrong without also preventing 1t from being effective for right. The only safe course to follow in this great Amer ican democracy is to provide for making the popular Judgment really effective. But it is a false constitutionalism a false statesmanship, to endeavor by the exercise of perverted ingenuity to seem to give the people full power and at the same time to trick them out of It.

Chicago, June 19.-At 10 a. M. Tues
day the big Coliseum building where
In the Republican national convention
was to be held, was opened to the pub
lie The structure, immense as it is,
was woefully inadequate to accommo-
date the enormous crowds that were
eager to find places where they might
see and hear the proceedings, and the
march on the building began early in
the morning, with the result that the
big structure was the center of push
ing, shouting, impatient throng long
before the convention was scheduled
to be called to order
Every seat in the Coliseum was
numbered and ticket bearing cor
responding number was in the posses
sion Of some lucky person. Without a
ticket no one was permitted to enter
the building.
There was a regiment of ushers and
assistant sergeants at arms on duty in
the building to see that ticket-holders
got Justice and to maintain order
They were reinforced by $50 police
men, and another responsibility placed
on the combined forces was to pre-
vent smoking in the convention hall.
This was police precaution for pub
lie safety.
While the convention assembled,
and at intervals in its proceedings,
several bands supplied music.
Precisely at 10 a. m. the building
was thrown open to the public, and
from that hour until shortly after noon
The visitors and assembled delegates
chatted among themselves and lis
tened to the music.
&9out l2:15 Victor Rosewater of Ne
oraska, chairman of the Republican
national committee and said to be the
Youngest man who ever held this re-
Sponsible position, called the conven-
uon to order.
Mr. Rosewater did not make a
speech. A bare announcement of the
event, of the purpose of the gathering,

manner, was the substance of the
chairman's address. He then asked
for the reading of the call by Secre-
tary William Hayward of the national
committee, and that was followed by
a prayer by Rev. J.. f. Callaghan of st.
Malachys church on the West side.
Some little time was allowed to
elapse before the formal presentation
of the gavel to Victor Rosewater by
Fred w. Upham in behalf of the Chi
cago convention committee
Then, according to custom in all
conventions of this character, Mr..
Rosewater announced that the COM
mittee on arrangements had selected
Senator Elihu Root of New York to
act as temporary chairman. He es-
sayed to call Senator Root to the
chair, but before he had chance
actually to do so a supporter OF Theo-
dore Roosevelt, from his place on the
floor of the hall, proposed the name Of
Senator William f. Borah OF Idaho as
a substitute for that of Senator Root,
and preparations for roll call began
Chairman Rosewater directed Sec
rotary William Hayward of the COM
mittee to call the roll. Alabama is
the first state on the list. The Ninth
district delegates were seated for
Taft by the national committee.
Roosevelt supporters challenged the
vote of the Alabama Ninth district men
and the fight over the seating of the
delegates by the committee was be-
gun.

we have to pay him for more time
than the charge on that package
amounts to. The expense of running
laundry is practically on cash
basis; all labor is paid each week, and
all other items must be paid promptly.
Hereafter drivers will be held respons-

charges on packages belonging to Gus

account and they are positively in
Istructed to return all packages to the
laundry on which they cannot collect

safe conduct of the business.
