THE NATIONAL POLITICAL SITUATION.
On Friday, the fourth day ofthe national Republican conven
tion, the situation is unsettled and the Republican party crisis
still exists. '
The electorate is at the ushering in of a new era the dawn
of better days in the management of politics, and the people
generally will be benefitted.
The old convention system, with packed primaries, manipu
lated county and state conventions, and corrupted and boss
controlled national convention is going.
It has served its purpose in the evolution of political institu
tions, its has accumulated its cargo of abuses and the system
and its barnacles must go to oblivion.
On comes the newer and better system the direct vote of
the electorate on candidates, and that must apply from con
stable to president of the United States. . ,
At the point of abandoning one system and going over to a
newer system the absolute rule of the electorate, without mid
dlemen and bosses there is some trouble.
Inside of four years the atmosphere will have cleared, the
matter will be decided, and the last national nominating con
vention will have been held at Baltimore.
Four years hence all parties in all states will probably hold
a direct presidential primary on the same day, and the votes
of the state will be announced the next day.
That would put an end to all strife and combinations and
deals in conventions, all expense of delegates to national con
ventions, and all trading of votes for federal offices.
That will- be the outcome, and for that we should all earnest
ly labor and pray to be delivered from the results of such com
plications as are now before us in Chicago.
There all is struggle and strife for personal advantage and
for selfish aggrandisement andgrasping power that belongs
to the people. ..
The voice of sound principles must prevail, and until that is
lieard all can afford to be patient.
Those who voice principle and truth have a hard row to hoe,
and must not xpect immediate reward.
But back of all the din and turmoil truth sits on the throne
guiding the destinies of the nation.
The Republican party will survive the shock and cataclysm
of changing systems, the passing out of the old and the usher
in? in of the new. t
The Democratic party at Baltimore will have the same prob
lems to face, because the issues that are sundering the body
politic are cleaving to the bone and marrow of American af-
The Republican party cannot turn its face against progres
sive principles and live, hence it will not commit such a sui
cidal act. . '
' It has been the party of nationalism and prosperity, hnd it
must remain the party of political progress and industrial jus
tice. , .
The old names of Republican and Democrat are a meamng
Ics slogan, and the past utterance of party clap-trap as little
understood as the Chinook jargon of the pioneers.
Two generations of voters are demanding progress along
lines of principle, for better social, political and industrial con
ditions and to merely tell them you are a Republican cuts no
ice.
You have got to tell them what you stand for on fundamental
political issues, and you have got to stand right and stand for
better government and considerably better ,to get their votes.
That is the situation in American politics today; and all who
can read and understand mijrht as well prepare to use their po
litical intelligence along the lines of least resistance.

CONVENTION 11 1.1) IP WHILE
CREDENTIALS COMMITTEE IS
STILL CHEWING THE BAG THE
STEAM ROLLER IS STILL AT
WORK.
(OKITKD PIISSS MiSSD WIJ1K J
Chicago, June 21. At 11:01 a. m.
the convention hall galleries were
two-thirds filled, and all of the del
egates were In their seats.
At that bour Chairman Root sent a
messenger to Chairman Devlne, of
the credentials committee, demand
ing that he present report to the con
vention on the contents already dis
posed of, and on the uncontested roll
so that It could be considered.
This action by Root followed De-
vlne's refusal to either, on his own
Initiative or on the suggestion of the
steering committee of the Taft organization.
Root, In explanation, said:
'I have sent for a report, becaus
we must get down to business. We
cannot keep on delaying forever,"
At 10:45 a. m. no final decision on
the matter had been reached. As the
delegates filed Into their seats there
was much bitter criticism of the mud
dle In which the convention has been
placed. Many of the delegates
frankly confessed they were find
ing Chicago too expensive a place to
remain In, and were suggesting that
possibly the hotel proprietors might
have more to do with the muddle than
appeared on the surface.
At 10:50 William Barnes, Jr., and
Colonel Harry S. New went to the
national committee headquarters to
make a last appeal to Chairman De
vlne for action.
The peculiar part of the situation
was that the men who seemingly had
the most at stake Barnes and the
Taft leaders were willing to take a
chance and start things going, while
Devlne and other organization men In
the committee, who had been depend
ed upon to help out, were refusing to
pull the blocks from In front of the
wheels of the convention chariot.
At 11:41 It was stated that the ma
jority report In the Alabama and Ari
zona cases was ready, but that the
convention was waiting for the Roos
evelt people to complote their nilnorl
tyr report.
The various state delegations con
tinued their cheerlfig, Pennsylvania
and 18 Massachusetts Roosevelt men,
Kansas and California being especial
ly noticeable for their cheers for
Roosevelt, while Wisconsin was yell
ing for La Follcte.
In the midst of the demonstration
W. J. Bryan came In and wns loudly
cheered. To shouts for a speech he
shook his head.
Devlne sent word from the creden
tials committee room that the partial
report was being held up by the
Roosevelt men. He said some of
them wanted the entire matter held
up until the complete report was
ready.
At 12 o'clock, an hour after the
time set for the convention to assem
ble, the delegates were still waiting
for the report of the credentials com
mittee. By that hour all the vacant
chain In the galleries had filled up
and there was the usual crowd In the
aisles on the floor space reserved
for the delegates, despite the efforts
of the police to keep them In their
seats.

An Oregon Dollar.
A farmer out In Oregon,
About a year ago,
Went Into town one day to spend
Some of his hard-earned "dough,"
"And In a merry Jest," and Just
To show his printing skill,
He printed bis Initials on
A brand new d-o-l-l-a-r b-l-1-1.
He spent that dollar that same day
Down at the village store.
He thought 'twas gone forever then
And he'd see It no more.
But long before that year rolled by
One day he went to fill
A neighbor's order, and .received
That same one d-o-l-l-a-r b-l-1-1.
Once more he spent that dollar bill
In his own neighborhood
Where it would do himself and
friends
The most amount of good.
Four times In two years it came
back,
As some bad pennies will,
And each time he'd go out and spend
This marked one d-o-l-l-a-r b-l-1-1.
Had be been , wise that dollar might
Bo in his town today,
But Just about two years ago
He sent It far away.
The people who received It then
I know have got it still,
For 'twas to a mall order house
He sent his d-o-l-l-a-r
No more will that marked dollar
come
Into the farmer's hands,
And never more will It help pay
The taxes on his lands.
He put It where it never can
Its work of life fulfill,
He brought about the living death
of that one d-o-l-l-a-r b-l-1-1.
