This call probably will provide for

Republican national organization
virtually assures the calling of Re-
publican nationwide convention Some
be the first national convention ever
held for any other purpose than TO
nominate candidates for President and
Vice President.
The law committee was created when
the Republican executive committee

TO consider important legal questions
in connection with certain reforms in
connection with certain reforms pro-
posed for the reorganization OF the
party.
The committee decided today that
there is no power in the blican
National Committee to change the basis
of representation in the Republican ma
tional convention. This question rose
in connection with demand by pro-
gressgive Republicans who held a con-
ference in Chicago last June. that the
basis of representation be changed to
cut down the number Of delegates from
the Southern States
This problem having been disposed
of, the law committee unanimously

There is an implied contract,
said Mr.. Cochran, between every
newspaper and every one of its
readers, that for the price the
reader pays for the paper the pub
Usher agrees to give him the
truth in the news; and. to color or.
suppress news in the interest of
advertisers or special and power
full interests is obtaining money
under false pretenses.
Running newspapers for the
benefit of advertisers, he said, was
turning a newspaper from an adj
vocate Of the people into a mere
money-making machine.
AS for Chicago politics, he said
it appeared to make little differ
ence which party won at cleo
tons, for one set of newspapers
influenced the administration for
the benefit of all of the papers if
one party won, and another set
influenced it the same way if the
other party won; and in either
event the people lost.
His remedy for this was for the
people of Chicago to get busy
and take THEIR government in
to their own hands.
Vice President Otto Schultz
presided and introduced the
speaker. The meeting was large

lockout and strike last year, when
they took charge of the police
force, had ex-convicts, thugs and
gunner sworn in as deputy po-
hcemen and sheriffs, armed with
guns and turned loose on the
town to fight the publishers bat
ties.
He said every large newspaper
in Chicago was losing money at
the price the papers were sold to
the public, because the white
paper alone cost more than the
price the papers got wholesale for
their papers; and that this loss
was made up by the advertisers.
This made advertising the news
papers meal ticket.
This was illustrated by Thurs
days News, a 20 page issue. Mr..
Cochran said that with $4,000
circulation the loss on white
paper for that one day alone was
at least 500, which, of course,
had to be made up by the adver-
tiSers.
Instead of being a good thing
for the people, the speaker said
that the reduction in price of Chi.
cago papers from two cents to
one, was a bad thing for both
the public and the newspapers, as
it made profits depend entirely on
advertisers; and that made the
newspapers obligation to the adj
vertisers greater than their OBJ
legation to the public.

Henri Rochefort went to court Of

whom he often disagreed. In his later
years, moreover, he was often called

suits, not because he had any pertinent
testimony to present, but because he

In South Africa is punished with penal

The Rand, however. has the lesser
known offense Of I. G. b. dllicit gold
buying. Considering that In the Rand
mines only few pennyweights ofgold
30 to a ton Of quartz, 1t Is obvious that
the miner does not get much chance Of
stealing the precious metal When
does the gold thief get his opportunity?
The pieces OF quartz are ground Into
dust by powerful hammers known as
stamps" Water then washes the
dust over inclined plates coated with
amalgam. The gold instantly com
bines with the mercury In the ANAL
gam, afterward being easily separated
by chemical process.
1t is Of this gold laden amalgam that
the dishonest employee will scrape of
portions which, though small, will
mount up to good bit Of gold in time.
