CONVENTIONS COST HEAVILY

However little a convention real iy has to do, hundreds of thou sands of dollars are spent on ey- cry one, money which in year like 1892 either party needs badly for the ensuing campaign.
 The chief return is supposed to come to renewed party enthtis- iasm, for in reality most conven- tions are merely mammoth rallies. Yet how much good does all of this whooping- -it-up really do?
 This is what Elihu Root said about it some time back at pri- vate dinner:
 With the extraordinary growth of news service in recent years the public in all civilized countries has been acquiring the habit of being informed from day to day about what is going on in the world, and this habit has greatly changed the basis of political action by the great self-governing demoeracies.
 "The American voters were for merly moved very largely by stump speeches and strongly partisan edi- torials. Today, as rule, new elections are decided before the political campaign begins, and they are decided on the basis of the news which the voters have been reading from day to day since the last election"

Felt Headgear Guages
 Patriotism in Australia

MELBOURNE, June 22. - Aus tralians, both men and women, are being informed that they are un- patriotic if they go bareheaded; they should wear felt hats.
 Felt hats are manufactured from rabbit fur; rabbits are pest to farmers; every rabbit killed is re- garded as a worthy national effort, and, if felt hats are worn, it is more profitable to trap, shoot CT poison bunny.
 So the no-hat cult is banned in Australia.

That was accom- plished, and could have been ac- complished, only after the most intensive and widespread blue-pen- cling
