The Convention City.

Republican hosts will gather In
Chicago next June to write party
platform and to nominate the candi-
dates Of the party for President and
Vice President. That the candidates
will be Herbert Hoover of California
and Charles Curtis of Kansas there
seems little doubt in the minds of the
party leaders gathered here from
every part of the Union to attend
the Republican National Committee
meeting.
Chicago has been the scene of many
Republican conventions, some of which
have been forerunners of Republican
success and others less fortunate for
the G. o. P. Abraham Lincoln, the
party's first President, was nominated
in Chicago, a vastly different city from
that in which the delegates will gather
next year. In 1912 the Republicans
meeting in Chicago engaged in bitter
strife which resulted in splitting the
party wide open and a Democratic
victory, the first in twenty years. The
great metropolis of the Middle West
is ideally located for a national con-
vention and its facilities for caring
for a convention crowd are almost
limitless, including new indoor
stadium which will seat $4,000 persons,
greater crowd than has ever seen
a National Republican Convention.

transport companies in the United
States and foreign extensions this year
than last. The total schedule Of
mileage each twenty-four hours is ap-
proximately one hundred and forty
thousand. And, according to Col.
Young's report. over three million peo-
pie saw the earth slip by during the
year from speeding airplanes.
One Of the best features of this
rapid development is the work done
By the Commerce Department to pro-
mote safety in the air. More than
seventeen thousand five hundred miles
of airways are under construction,
many miles already completed. which
will be lighted and equipped with radio
direction and communication. The
contemplated extensions of the system
will embrace twenty-five thousand
miles and will contain every modern
aid to air navigation. During the past
year, also, an important achievement
has been the development of teletype-
writer machines for the dissemination
of weather reports to various air fields.
Aviation IS truly reaching the big
business stage. 1t had a hard struggle
in this country to get going and in its
early days played second fiddle to prac-
tically every European nation. That
is not the case now, however, and with
its present momentum it should go
ahead to bigger and better accomplish
ments.

Hope Seen in Probe
OF New York Graft

From the Louisville Courier journal.
To greedy city officials and ward
bosses OF both political parties In New
York, the investigation of the. Hof-
stadter Legislative Committee has
seemed very i'll wind. 1t has blown
many grating individuals out Of their
lucrative offices, and in some cases has
picked them up like a tornado and
dropped them unceremoniously behind
prison bars. Yet this i'll wind now shows
signs of blowing good to the honest citi-
zens Of the city.
Thoroughly disguised by the manifold
evidences of corruption uncovered by
the salutary investigation, number of
leading citizens have determined to
initiate for reform in the entire sys-
TEN of city government in New York.
DR.. William Jay Schieffelin, chairman
Of the Committee of One Thousand,
speaks for the reform element, outlining
a definite plan of action for which he
believes he could gather 900 900 sigma
lures of voters before the mayoralty
campaign Of 1898.
Outstanding among the suggestions q
DR.. Schieffelin is the adoption Of a city
manager form of government for New
York. He also counsels the abolition OF
county government within the city,
system which makes for large and con-
fusing ballots at elections, and he pro-
posed a reduction in membership Of the
Board of Aldermen.
The adoption of such a program
would bring down all the wrath of the
Tammany organization, which has con-
trolled New York politics for too many
years to surrender its power without
titanic struggle. The Tammany tiger
would utteka savage roar in response to
another excellent proposal OF DR..
Schieffelins, that the police department
be taken out of politics, with COM
missioner appointed for long term
and removable only on charges. The
figure of a policeman who owed no al
legiance to a political party in return
for his appointment and who would
therefore be free to act without restraint
from the political bosses impresses Tam
many as monstrous anomaly.
New York, long stepped in the habit
of party politics, may not be ready yet
for the sweeping reforms proposed by
DR.. Schieffelin, but it Is safe to say that
1t is far closer to a readiness for reform
since the exposures by Judge Seabury
and the Hofstadter group famed across
the pages of the daily press. Crooked
ness that hides itself under a pile of
gold does not attract such unfavorable
attention. But crookedness that is
stripped and exposed before the public
gaze-unsuccessful crookedness, In a
Workplaces the way for its own de-
struction. :,

citizens, for the reasons either that the
owners are afraid to trust the manipu-
lations Of the banking institutions or
wish to protect themselves from the
possibility Of some immediate calamity
To remedy these defects in the behavior
of otherwise loyal citizens, a decree
was passed in the Congress recently au-
thorizing the executive power to con-
slider these funds the same as any other
contraband, and to punish the posses
SorS OF any such boarded wealth as are
discovered. 1t likewise has become
known that various commercial inter-
ests of the coastal districts have estab-
lished accounts in the United States,
and sent all their available funds to
that country. These, too, will come un-
der the penalties of the new edict.
:: y X
Ell Tempo, Bogota-Anticipating any
resentment which may be felt at the
new decree of the government in rela-
,tion to the boarding of private wealth
in the form Of national currency, we
anirm that there is an obligation both
lawful and moral upon every citizen to
deposit in the Bank OF the Republic all
the money which he has in his possess
sion, In order to contribute to the solu-
ton OF the grave difficulties of the pres
ent hour. If the millions of boarded
gold were returned to the vaults of the
Bank OF the Republic. not only would
the national economy be assisted in the
most efhcacious manner, but the own
ers thereof would obviate for them
selves many individual catastrophes
which will certainly overwhelm them
unless this patriotic action is taken.
We earnestly appeal to all our affiu-
ent citizens t. accede voluntarily to this
demand of the government, rather than
be compelled to do so to avert a COM
mon ruin.

Superficial Demonstration.

chPtAh hNt&A DCh1Uu&sh Akkou-
There's great amount Of glory
In burst Of oratory
And an aphorism is a pleasant thing;
There's stirring necromancy
In fervid flight Of fancy
And an anecdote a joyous thrill will
bring.
We salute the man who's clever
In rhetorical endeavor
And can make his words melodiously
clink;
Such we cheer. quite unregretful,
Almost scornfully forgetful,
OF the man who has to settle down and
think.
We behold the engine going
And it makes wondrous showing
AS We listen to the whistle and the bell.
We observe each demonstration
With a sense of admiration;
What makes 1t work, but few of us can
tell.
Down below fire is burning
And to steam the waters turning
Where it's hot and sooty, like perdition's
brink.
And in every mighty movement
Made for progress and improvement
There are men all unobserved who have
to think.
