GOOD ENOUGH FOR AMERICANS

The gentlemen engaged in canning food products back

some of the big plants have been filling orders for
Europe and those countries make rigorous inspection
of all supplies especially those from America only first
class stuff can get BY Inferior stuff that not up
tract spuatons is turned back to the contractors and be-
comes dead loss
For this reason only the best is sent across the pond
Of the culs no matter how bad sale is made in this
try This has gone to such extent that the government
has finally taken hand and finding much of the stuff un
fit for food has confscated and will destroy it. Any old
thing is good enough for the American people just it
can get by most negligent government examination.
If the true story Of the material that goes into some

ALL EYES TURNED TO CHICAGO

AS the time for the meeting Of the republican national
convention draws the eyes Of the whole country are
turning toward Chicago for the least scrap OF news that
may throw any light on the situation One reason for this
is that far the naming Of the candidate for president
is scOnceed the democratic convention is over and every
one desires to know who is to make the race against
President Wilson
The large number of favOrite sons; the general eX
preston of faith in Hughes; the unheaed wound in the
side of the Elephant made by Rooseves spear four years
ago that still suppurates the doubt to the stand OF
the progresSyes the further doubt as to the support the
old element Of the party the standpaters would give an
outandout progressive and above all the uncertainty as
to the course of that political comet Roosevelt gives the
situation an unusual interest
That the Colonel has them all guessing is not to be
denied.
The primaries although generally not favorable to
him. do not seem to him any worry which is more
than be said of the other branch of the party He is
going along with his private convention just as though
there was no other.
That is what makes his opponents uneasy. They
know he is keen wide awake politician, and they cannot
fahom his actions Some of them in this course
notice to nominate him or take the consequences They
interpret it to mean that if he does not get the nomna
ton from the republican parry that ne will get 1t from his
own convention and the campaign of four years ago will
be repeated.
The dispatches yesterday said there was "a plan to
stampede the convention to him the roll call
began and that he would get two of Illinois votes on the
first ballot
1t is expected that the favorte sons will get together
enough as last resort defeat the colonel but they may
not have the power
Another dispatch yesterday showed the Colones re-
sOurcefulness Word came over the wires that the
Authors League was considering affiliatng with the
American Federation Of Labor. Winston Churchill is
president of that league and Colonel Roosevelt is its vice
president.
Politicians, always suspicious see in this move on
the part of the Colonel to ally himself with Union Labor
and corral that vote if possible And all this time he is
saying little indeed considering his usual lOquacty is
dumb as the sphinx
Taken all in all the G. O. P. is having real strenuous
time and plenty of family trouble, all caused by that in
tractable boy Teddy.
