applaud. The general attitude seem
ed to be: E
I'VE have seen this show before.
We know every act--the SWISS bell
ringers; the educated seals; the aero
bats and the juggler tramp. Wen
stay till it's through but ITS awfuiiy
cold, and we wish we could go 10
lunch" -
There is something rather whole
some, it seems to me, in this critical
attitude 1t reflects a good deal OF
sensible thought on the part of the
man in the street.
We're little tired OF distortion
and exaggeration and false hopes; we
are just about ready for a new kind
of convention where sincerity anu
simplicity and economy will be the
watchwords, and the speeches will
not be over fifteen minutes in length
and filled with the same kind of hard
common sense that we use IN our
business lives.

to the roof, sweltered in sticky heat
for fifty-seven minutes, until 1917 ..
M, when adjournment was announced
| Tomorrow's session will convene at
eleven a. m, at which time the dele
gates expect to hear the all-important
reports of the resolutions committee
which is framing the platform.
The reports Of the committees on
permanent organization. credentials
and rules went through smoothly, and
then there was nothing to do but
wait for the resolutions committee,
which was meeting in the Congress
hotel. whipping the platform into
shape.
When it was realized there was no
further business before the conven-
ton, the great meeting suddenly
broke loose and lost the apathy which
marked the first session. There was
a yell for Chauncey NJ DePew of New
York, who started the revival meet
ing with characteristic speech in
which he told humorous stories, de-
nounced and ridiculed the democratic
administration and the restraint which
has held delegates and spectators in
check, melted away as he spoke.
,DePew was the wizard of the occasion.
He brought back the old spirit, and
when he finished the deleagtes were
on their feet and the great shell of
the Coliseum was echoing with the din
of their applause.
DePew was followed by Mrs. Mar
garet Hill McCarter, Kansas, the first
woman to speak from the rostrum in
a republican national convention. She
appeared, she said, as the representa-
tive of twenty million women, nine
teen million of whom would vote the
republican ticket There was no
thought of the suffrage party pickets
standing solemnly outside when Mrs.
McCarter said that. and the crowd
cheered heartily.
Mrs. McCarter spoke easily and with
perfect self possession. There was
no suggestion of stage fright, as stand
ing beside Chairman Lodge, she faced
the vast audience, in the unnatural
glare Of yellow from lights placed
along the side balcony to give it lum-
nation for the motion picture cam
eras. The throng raised an insistent
call for "Uncle joe Cannon, who,
however, was not present
After Mrs. McCarter's speech the
convention united in Battle Hymns
of the Republic, with several yaria-
tons, including an ear-splitting zip
each hallelujah The cries for
Cannon increased, and Lodges furious
rap with gavel for order nearly splin-
tered the table on which he was ham
mering. At last he got comparative
quiet and recognized Senator Wads-
worth of New York, a member of that
delegation, who made motion to adj
journ. There was a lot of confusion
in the midst of which Lodge put the
question, and in response of blast
of "ayes," declared the session adj

In the debate that ensued in the
Georgia case, Gregory Page, New Mex
leo, tore into Henry Lincoln Johnson,
negro national committeeman elect
from Georgia, who conducted the case
for himself and associated delegates.
A roll call was taken and Johnson's
four Lowden delegates were retained
on the convention pers onnel, 81 to 90
The next division came in the
fourth congressional district This
time the Wood faction caught the
Lowdenites mapping and seated C. D.
Williams in place of R. B. Butts.
John W. Smith, Michigan, wearied
of the partisan lines along which the
session was developing declared:
I'm not here representing either
Wood or Lowden. Don't let us fool
ourselves; we're not deciding these
cases according to the evidence"
This started a sort of testimonial

| Organized Labor's Demand.
| COLISEUM, CHICAGO. June g.
Samuel Gompers, president of the
| American Federation of Labor, today
presented to the resolutions commit
tee of the republican national conven-
ton demands of organized labor.
Declaring that any curtailment of
the right of workers to organize or
strike would be an invasion of funda-
mental liberty, Gompers urged adop-
ton of the following labor planks:
1--WE pledge our party to maintain
the federal law enacted by congress,
securing to the workers the legal
right of voluntary association, for
mutual protection and welfare, against
unwarrantable issuance of writs of in
junction, either prohibitory or manda-
tory, and guaranteeing the right of
trial by jury in alleged contempt cas-
es, committed outside the presence of
of court.
Legislation which proposes to
make strikes unlawful is an invasion
of the rights of the wage earners, and
when enforced makes for industrial
serfdom or slavery
I'VE hold government should supply
information, assistance and counsel.
but that it should not attempt by force
of is own power to stifile or destroy
voluntary relations and policies of
mutality between employers and en-
ployees.

REVENGE TAKEN BY ANIMALS
Story on Record Of Huge Mastin That
Killed ThovohtIess Groom at
First Opportunity.

Careful observers have put on rec
ord some very extraordinary instances
of dogs and other animals which have
remembered injuries put upon them.
and have eventually retaiiated. says
London Answers.
There Is a terrible story ON record
OF a dog. a huge mastiff. kept as
watchdog by a Staffordshire gentle
man. The great brute was kept
chained In rl,e stable yard. and during
the very hot weather one OF the
grooms. noticing the creature painting
with heat. threw a bucket Of cold wa
ter over him.
A week later the dog was loose
when the same man entered the yard.
He sprang upon him and caught him
by the throat and killed him.
A touching little episode happened
q few years ago I'm Worcester VII
lage. A boy was the proud owner OF
a very handsome pair Of fox terriers
named Mick and Jerry. Jerry went on
one day into wood near by and
tackled a badger, which killed him.
Raymond, his master. went out to look
for him, but could not find him. But
two days after Mick was found mourn
ing over the dead body of his com
panion.
He was brought back. One day be
did not return. His master searched
and found him laying dead. his teeth
in the throat Of the badger, which
was also killed.
An amusing incident was that Of an
Indian elephant whose revenge on
new mahout whom he took a dislike
to was rather funny. He picked him
up and deposited him In the branches
of thorn tree.

SINGAPORE TO HAVE TAxls
Far Eastern City Will Abandon the
Riekshaw, Long Used az Method
Of TRANSPORTATION.

According 10 advices from Consul
General Edwin n. Gonzales at SinSa-
pore. that city is to have an internal
transportation system Of Thoroughly
modern taxicabs.
Whether American automobile man.
ufacturers win secure the order for
these motors is problematical. but the
most significant part of the news Is
that IL marks a further development
of the use of modern methods In the
far East.
For several years in Singapore
there has been a most consistent and
vigorous agitation against the insu-
tuition of the well-knOwn rickshaws.
Most of this agitation came from the
tongue and pen Of the educated Chi
nese, who maintain that the system OF
making a horse out Of men Is wrong
from the standpoint Of the degrading
influence which 1t has on the individ-
uals as well as the harm it is claimed
to work upon the coolies.
Distances are great in most far
Eastern cities, and while the rickshaw
makes transportation reasonably con-
venient and comfortable, the rickshaw
most certainly is primitive vehicle
and doomed 10 early abandonment be-
cause of the rapid advance now be.

life of the far East.
The new company to operate In
Singapore is to be officially known as
the Singapore Motor Taxicab and

have capital of $350OOO. The initia
equipment will be made up of Al
