CONVENTION OBSERVATIONS
BY FREDERIC WILLIAM VILE

BY far the most thrilling thing
about the Cleveland convention is the
mammoth and magnificent Public Hall
In which it is being held. There is
nothing in the country remotely to
compare with 1t. Such places as the
Chicago Coliseum and Madison Square
Garden are tawdry alongside of it.
III Cleveland isn't careful, the great
parties may adopt it in perpetuity
as the scene of these quadrennial
talkfests. Certainly it's Public Hall
alone is sufficient inducement. Who
ever is responsible for the convent ton
decorative scheme deserves the con-
gressional medal There simply isn't
any decorative scheme. The halls
vast sweep. unimpeded by a single
arch or beam or column anywhere, is
allowed to sound its own unadorned
decorative note. It's the first con-
vention on record that hasn't sat
among a sea of flags and bunting.
Stripes on the curtain at the rear
Of the stage is the only flag in sight.
Unfortunately. that effect is marred,
and illegally marred, at that.
Squarely in the middle of Old Glory,
draped chromos of Lincoln, Roosevelt
AS an endurance test Theodore f.
Burton's keynote address was a not
able performance. Burton is not a
spring chicken. He is Fastening to-
ward his seventy-fourth birthday,
yet his voice rang sonorously through
out the convention hall from the be-
ginning to the end of his speech. The
best that can be said of it's reception
was that it was patiently listened to.
IT was an address that reads better
orator with the fire of a Borah
should be allowed TO keynote for
nearly two hours. Burton is cultured
and courtly. But he is utterly lack
single exception of his reference to
Coolidge, his recital of the virtues
and achievements of the q. o. r.
failed to arouse any emotions. The
applause at the end was desultory
and short lived.
Andrew w. Mellon, Secretary of the
Treasury, evolved the fEst-indeed
the only-demonstration of the open
ing session. When the temporary
recognize Mellon. the mere mention
of the Pittsburgh bankers name was
the signal for applause. AS the mod
est, handsome financier reached the
platform, d complete stranger to
four-fi of the audience, the ap-
plause turned into deafening roar.
Mellon is as modest as girl. He was
visibIy embarrassed. He had asked
for the floor to propose a routine res
olution, but was so shy and stage
frightened that the reading clerk had
to come to the rescue and bawl it out
to the convention.

They are total strangers to the DEL
egates and to the politicians. Except

scene. Secretaries Mellon, Weeks

Yesterday in Chicago. in bringing

SHOOTING STARS.
BY PHILANDER JOHNSON.
Apt Quotation.

Apt Quotation.
A little piece Of poetry comes handy
now and then.
The same as nonsense" it lis rel
ished by the best Of men"
Humanity is much alike in every land
and cline,
And has been so from Adams day
down to the present time.
We've had the same old pleasures and
we've had the same complaints.
Society has shown the same ambitions
and restraints.
The poets who described them in their
ancient. vigorous lay
Made reference to truths which stand
unchanged as truths today;
And every little story that events can
now unfold
BY some philosopher or bard has pa.
tiently been told.
So wherefore labor for a phrase
save one that is exact
In setting forth statistics, or a plain,
unvarnished fact
When on the shelf are volumes long
ago 50 ably writ,
And filled with language that sur.
wives because it is most fit,
Which may so well be quoted by the
voice or by the pen? -
A little piece of poetry comes handy
now and then.

Furthermore, art can give you a
charming environment. A knowledge
of art is reflected in the design of
the home and it's furnishings. Art for
some reason has long been associated
in the minds of many with extrava-
gance, but to the contrary it affords
the necessary knowledge to make
good use of little means. A knowl-
edge of art leads to a choice of that
which Is best in design and color, in
articles of usefulness. A college pro-
fessor once bought Chippendale
chair and as a result not only had
to refurnish his entire house, but
was induced to give up his professor
ship and devote his life to lecturing
on art through a sincere desire to
bring others to an appreciation of
what art had come to mean to him.
The instant one steps into home
knowledge of art is obvious. The
same thing is equally true of dress,
for the same principles which govern
the design of the skyscraper or a
Gothic cathedral, the production of
4 masterpiece in painting or a great
work in sculpture are in lesser degree
true of the design of gown. Art in
this way can make you a better citi-
zen, because it will show you the
desirability Of the employment Of art
in city planning, In obtaining good
architecture, and parks we'll laid out
Landscape architecture is only paint
ing with growing things, instead Of
pigments) and you will want to sup
