Running a few carroes

Running a few cargoes through a
blockade and breaking blockade are
different things, as Captain Koenig will
discover in due time But the venture is
none the less an amazing example of the
resourcefulness of man. Blockade-run-
ming heretofore has never had TO be for
such tremendous distances. The Con.
federates had British ports conveniently
at hand. The Germans must travel thou
sands of miles to reach a profitable and
neutral port.

 The republican leaders, however seem to accept the view that the prospects foar reconciliation are good and are therefore inclined to meet the progress sives half way.
 All republican delegates who are ad- vocating the nomination of Roosevelt were called into conference just before the convention was reconvened today and a lengthy discussion followed but without result so far as Roosevelt's chances are concerned.
 When the convention resumed session it seemed to be the general attitude of the republicans that unless Roosevelt eliminates himself as a candidate peace between the two parties is impossible Yet. despite this attitude the conferecs are trying hard to bring the conventions together and there are not few re- publicans who believe that an agree ment will be reached

The two Alaska delegates had been called away to see someone and 1t was in their absence that the standard was swiped by a young man from Iowa. Tho action put the Alaska delegation in n wrong light since they are not for Cum mins and they felt quite badly about It. Somebody is always picking up the AL aska standard but in the present ln- stance il was not alone as the Porto Rico standard was embedded by a Swede farmer from Minnesota to contribute to the Cummins parade in the same way. This gave some satisfaction to the AL aska delegates who were rather hostile at the seizure of their banner.
