Introducing Chicago---Now
Noisiesf Spot in the World

where the Republican and Progress
sive hosts will hold solemn conclave,
we're ready for the crowds today.
Tickets for the Republican conven-
ton were at the biggest premium
they ever have been for such a gath
ering.
There were plenty Of offers of $3.50
for single ticket admitting holder to
the expected four daily sessions-and
tickets scarce at that.
IL was estimated that the attempt
to gain admittance will be made in
vain by about 10000 people. Only
12,40O seats for the public have been
provided in the Coliseum.
Fakers thronged Michigan avenue
and reaped a rich harvest in the sale
of badges, banners, pictures and
souvenirs.
Most Of the big delegations we're
expected today.
New Yorks 90. with alternates, CO.
workers, hangers-on and admirers,
arrived on special train this morn
ing.
Deputy Chief Of Police Schuettler
has sworn in several hundred extra
policeman and an equal number OF
plain clothesmen, borrowed from
other cities, went on duty today to
keep a wary eye on the undesirables.
The only formal routine observed
today was the meeting Of the Repub-
lican national committee, cleaning up
contests and transacting the thou
sand and one details incident to
stage-managering the big pow-wow.

When William Jennings Bryan resigned his position
as Secretary Of State the broad ntimation was given
to the press by the White House. that Mr. BRYAN had
nullihed President Wilson's submarine warning 10
Germany by telling the Austrian Ambassador DIR
Dumba, that It not to be taken seriously that he
had done without Wilson's authorization or consent
and that the discovery that Mr. Bryan had done so

declared that the President was in New York when

ing in filthy trenches. offers a lesson
which will inure to the saving Of per-
haps as many lives as are destroyed
by the war
We are led TO these thoughts by a
recent essay OF Professor l.. b. Men
del, Of Yale, upon changes in the food
supply and their relations to nutri-
tion, in which he refers to the scien-
tilc acumen displayed by the Ger
mans in meeting the diminution Of
their food supply. Not only is unjus-
tidable waste avoided, but the use of
certain hitherto neglected foods has
been brought to public notice.
The fact that the use Of meat, the
most important food. must be re-
stricted has stimulated the cOnsump-
tion Of vegetable food, grains and le
: gumes, which were formerly given to
animals, while animals are now re-
ceiving the cOarser and less expen-
sive grains, made rich in nutritive
elements by the addition OF yeast
Il has been disclosed the yeast has
the capacity to convert the cheapest
food materials into typical cell sub
stances. proving that it is rich in
protein.
AS The Sun has recently pointed
out in an article on vitamines. brew
cry yeast, which has formerly been
wasted to great extent, may be con-
verted. according to the recent inves.
legations Of Voelk il artifically cul-
tivated. into valuable food materials
to replace meat in the diet. A concen
trated form of brewery yeast is Of
fered in capsules or other form. In
doses of seventy-fve grains a day
for the purpose Of aiding in the main
tenance Of bodily vigor upon other
wise unacceptable and infiicient food
materials.
Whether this will become a prac-
tical addition to the dietary OF man,
kind remains to he seen: al any rate
its present utilization by the Ger
mans in their dire emergency, offers
valuable test.

THE CONVENTIONS CHIEF DUTY.


THE Republican National Convention will meet in
Il Chicago Wednesday.
II has two important duties to perform
One is TO adopt platform that is made up Of safe
and sane Republican principles
The other is to nomnate for the Offices of Presi-
dent and Nice-Presidcnt men who believe in such
principles; Who If elected win do their utmost to
put them into effect and who are. and will continue
to be, true and loyal party men.
Il rs the duty of the six delegates from this state
TO assist in bringing about those desired results II
they will do that, the Republicans Of Delaware will
approve their COURSE
The success Of Republican principles and policies
this year is Of infinitely greater importance than the
success of any individual or Of any two individuals
That is fact that should he kept in mind constantly
by the delegates in their deliberations
While the Republican party has only one set OF
principles, il is fortunate in the fact that il has many
men within II who. given the opportunity are thor
oughly capable of applying those principles for the
benefit Of our nation and the world at large

Some BeneficeHf Results of The War
(From the New York SUM-

Pacihsts may be Mortified at the
suggestion that war may have benef-
cent results, but the truth is that
famine, disease and war are among
the evolutionary forces that have de-
termined the rise Of mankind from
the primordial cell.
On the spiritual side. a manifesto
tion OF the benefcent results of this
war resulted from letter to the Pope
written by Louis Marshall. Jacob II
Schih and other citizens of this coup-
try, urging his attention to "unspeak-
able cruelhes that have been perpe-
trated upon the Jews in the war zone,
particularly in Poland" to which the
Pope replied. as published in The
Sun OF April II, that "as the head of
the Catholic Church he agrees firmly
with the belief that all men are breth-
rem and he teaches them to love one
another" This has been hitherto only
a doctrine, but the fact that the Su-
preme Pontif has actually directed
his clergy in Poland to use their best
endeavors to put an end to the perse-
cutions is a marvellous reversal of the
policies OF his predecessors.
We have also mentioned the start
ling announcement that the granting
Of equal rights to the jew is contem-
plated by Germany. because, having
proved themselves efficient i'm war and
peace, they have earned this reward
and this has been acquiesced in by
General Patrikoff OF the Bulgarian
army, and by Venizelos and Skou-
loudis. the Greek statesmen.
In material life the recognition OF
the fallacy that alcohol possesses sus-
tanning qualities for physical endu-
ance. which physiology has dis
proved, and practical disuse in Rus
sia by the 0civilians and soldiers and
its limitation in France and Germany
are beNofcent results OF this war.

CHICAGO. June 5.-Chicago start
ed today to make good on the pre-
diction that for the next week it will
be the noisiest spot in the world
unless it be Verdun. Certainly il will
be the spot where more words are
spilled than anywhere else.
All of which is by way of preface
to the fact that the convention crowds
began arriving today. They came
chaperoned by bands. megaphoned
assistants. singers and just plain
noise-makers.
By Wednesday, Chicago will be
swollen with people to nearly twice
its normal size.
There are 9S5 delegates to the Re
publican national convention, to ar
rive: 1856 alternates to the same .
nearly 1000 delegates and alternates
to the Progressive national conven-
ton: 10000 women workers for the
ballot. mostly out-Of-tOwn boosters (;
to say nothing Of just plain spectators
to the various affairs.
Already the lObbies Of Chicago's
loop hotels seem as chOked with hu-
manity as they did al the height OF
the Republican convention sessions
four years ago.
All the hotels. incidentally. began
today removing every bit of furniture
from their lobbes.

clutter up space where enthusiasts
may gossip. nor he near at hand for
weapons in case arguments wax too
hot.

HARRINGTON AND IT'S OFFICER,

HARRINGTON, AND ITS OFFICERS.
From the Harrington Journal.
There has been so much said re-
garding the work OF our Town Com
missioners. both good and bad. that
we want the citizens to know that our
commissioners should be cOmmendeG
for the amount OF work completed
with such little capital. We all
know that the commissioners are not
salaried' officials. II is their duty to
receive the taxes and use them in
the best possible way for the improve
ment of our town. They cannot do
$4,000 worth Of work each year with
$4,000 capital, unless they bond the
town or take It from their personal
funds We all know that the street
improvements they make each year
is a lasting job. and their intentions
are to do as good work each year as
the funds will allow, but they cannot
do all the improvements necessary.
Our town is improving rapidly and
growing in business each year, which
necessitates many more improve
mcnts, yet the taxes remain the same.
The commissioners should have more
working capital and we feel as an in
dividual that an act should be passed
during tho next Legislature to allow
an increase in taxes. II would not
mean much to each individual, but
it would increase the working capi-
tai to make more improvements and
the individuals would receive in re-
turn an increase in the value Of their
property The Town Commissioners
are surely working to the interest of
the town and should receive the CO
operation OF each and every citizen.

There is something radically wrong in the manage
ment OF a hospital which places poisonous solu-
tions where they may be obtained and used by insane
patients. The killing Of one and the poisoning Of
eleven others by an inmate OF the tubercular insane
ward Of the Philadelphia Hospital at Byberry gives
point to that assertion. The poison kept where
he could get It. lie mixed II with the salts to be
taken by the other patients. Certainly the investiga
tion should result in trouble for someone in public

THE PREPAREDNESS PARADE.
From the Milford Chronicle
The parade to be held in Whining
ton on Saturday, June 10th, will be
public expression by demonstra-
ton OF the belief of the people that
this country must be prepared to de-
fend its interests through force, if it
must. and through industrial pre-
paredness to meet the situations
which would arise quickly if war
were forced upon the country. II is
expected that ten thousand people
will be in this parade. which is not by
any organization, but by a spontan-
eous expression OF the people them
selves, and by the great business in
terests whicn employ labor in the arts
and trades. It will be the most strik-
ing public demonstration Of the de-
sires of the people to come before the

that campaign committees Of accred-
tied political parties be permitted
the privilege Of free postage on their
literature; and the idea has some ~
vantages.
The campaign speech, aimed over
the heads Of Congress at homo con-
stituencies, is not effective campaign
material. II Is largely waste Of ef-
fort, paper, and carriage. The same
expense devoted to properly prepared
material, to be circulated free, II
necessary, would cost the taxpayers
no more. and probably less. It would
be . fairer plan, for both sides would
have equal chances; whereas now an
incumbent Congressman or Senator
can flood his district with literature
under frank, while his opponent has
no such privilege, but must buy
postage stamps.
Besides, Congress would get q
chance to attend to its proper legis-
lative business; which sometimes

AMERICANS DID 1T FIRST

Il is Just as well to remember that
q whole fotilla of American-built
submarines made the trip across the
Atlantic, almost without incident,
more than year before the
Deutschland accomplished that feat.
The American vessels were con-
structed in this country and the
parts shipped to Canada to be as
sembled, in order to avoid technical
violation of neutrality. So Montreal,
rather than a port of the United
States, gets the distinction Of send
ing away the first submersibles on
such a trip.
Some of these American-built YES
sells not only crossed the Atlantic,
but, after being supplied in England,
went on to the Levant and took i'm
portant part in the operations in the
Dardanelles.
The submarine remains funda-
mentally an American achievement;
the invention of Holland and Lake;
the first war craft of this type was
American; the first trans-ocean voy-
age was made by American vessels ;
and the big German vessel now lying
at Baltimore is little larger than one
that the American Government is
building.

unusual that ever occurred around
Spartanburg county happened about tbs
premises Of J. Y. Cantrell. q farmer lv.
ing ten miles north of the city.
His two children, sitting In a swing
fastened to one Of two trees situated
close together. had their dresses scorch.

the trees. tearing the bark off in plaeet
but not hurting the children In the
least. Four mules hitched to a wagor

was set on fire. A single bolt Of light
ming performed the whole feat. Besides
knocking dow. the four mules hitchec
to the wagon in the road the lightning
mad a hole as large as q water bucke'
lust behind the wagon.
With the exception Of sinRcd dresses
the children were absolutely unharineo
except for the shock. The other trick
played by the lightning is almost equal
~ as marvellous. The bolt set the fence

lions Of people have responded to the
call by organizing themselves almost
by instinct, as the ants in a hill do,
for the common cause. They have
been able to accomplish wonders
which will not end with the return
Of peace. The new Russia that will
emerge from this war will never be
the backward, unseeing, unknowing
Russia Of old. II will be q Russia
inspired, confident, assured; deter
mined to make and take It's rightful
place in the world.
The means by which Russia has
"come back" are being explained by
Mr.. Simms in his letters to The
Times. They are the means that will
in future insure the peaceful devel-
opment Of the nation, under institu-
tions that will be increasingly pop
ular.
