Safe blowing is no longer either
popular or profitable for the ''yegg''
who tries to pull off a job in Wilmette.
This peculiar situation was shown
when, following the visit of two
'petermen" to the feed store of Frank
Kutten, 709 West Railroad avenue,
Kutten discovered he was a richer
man than he was before his safe was
robbed.
The men obtained SO cents in PEN
MES and 80 cents in stamps. Kutten
acquired two SIS horse blankets, which
the "yeggs'' thoughtlessly left behind
them.
Kutten attributes his luck to his
thong htfulness for the comfort of
visiting safe blowers. Several days
before a safe in a neigh boring store
was blown and ruined. while all the
intruders got was 20 cents. Taking

his cue from this, Kutten hung a card
on the door of his safe, which read:
Dear Yegg: Don't waste your
powder. The safe is unlocked. Help
yourselves You're welcome
One night the yeggs broke into the
store through a small rear window.
They read the sign and opened the
door. They took the pennies and
stamps, and then, apparently not be-
ing used to such courtesy, and usually
being obliged to use blankets to de
en- the sound Of the explosion, they
left the store without taking their two
blankets with them.

fact that she Is human being who

Present Line Up at Chicago

In a convention of 1078 members the winner needs $40 votes. This num- Der is based on precedent, and not on any revolutionary movement to debar from all voting delegates that had been temporarily seated by the na- tional committee. According to long established custom in our national conventions the delegates seated by the national committee participated in each state delegation in selecting a member of the credentials committee which passes upon all contested seats. Accepting the principles of the revolu- tion of 1789 Roosevelt declares all custom and precedent abolished in order that the delegates whose seats have been contested may control the convention.
 Notwithstanding the claims that Roosevelt's managers have been mak- ing, it has looked all along as if Taft would be the regular nominee of the republican party. When the national committee finished it's work Taft's nomination was practically assured. The test vote on the temporary chair manship was, therefore, about what might have been expected-R 558 and McGovern 502.
 Roosevelt is shrewd and resource ful politician, and many of his lieu tenants and active supporters are men of great political experience and sagacity, but Elihu Roots champion ship of President Taft has been of incalculable value to the Presidents s cause. And one can easily imagine that Roosevelt, with all of his boast ing and fury, has felt down in his heart that Root, the man whom he once eulogized, was the single force against him that would be most diff cult to overcome. Root is at once great lawyer, a seasoned politician, and man of enormous capacity. His speech on accepting the temporary chairmanship was characteristically terse.
 National republican conventions have usually been orderly, but the one now in session started off with great turbulence. It looks good for the democrats.

 As You Like If.
Filling the White House

From three to five candidates have in some presidential years received electoral votes, but on two occasions only has the House been called upon to elect a President. A tie between Jefferson and Burr in the year 1900 led to an election by the House, and Jefferson began his presidential ca- reer by authority of the House of Representatives. There were five candidates. In 1924 there were four candidates and no one received a ma iority of the electoral college. The House made John Quincy Adams President. There were no well de- fined parties in 1924. Not since 1924 has an election been thrown into the House, and 1t is exceedingly improb- able it will be this year, no matter what Chicago may do.
 An election by the present Congress would be unfortunate because twenty two states are controlled by the demo- crats, twenty-two by the republicans and six are tied. The six could not vote, for in an election by the House each state votes, and each state, large or small, has just one vote.
 
 Three candidates have received electoral votes repeatedly, and the possibility of three candidates this year means but little. The democratic nominee will be swept into the White House by conclusive mas ority of the electoral college.
