Phone Main 81. THE BIG CONVENTIONS OPENED Today the republican and progressive conventions opened in Chicago. For a week the clans have been gathering and for half that long the wires have been kept warm with all kinds of guesses and predictions as to candidates and programs. Favorite sons have been trot ted out and put through their paces, taking up as much space in the public view as they could, and trying to take more. The guesses have been perhaps one as good as an other, and the predictions as numerous and as strong as the hopes of the aspirants and their backers-. All kinds of combinations have been suggested, and each factor of the big gathering has figured it out or had it figured out for him just how the votes are to flock to him when the time for flocking gets ripe. Over and above all however has been the Hughes movement, strong, persistent and growing, and the Roose velt struggle against big odds and several distinct and large sized handicaps. The standpat element controls the steam roller, but the rolling is not good. It can nominate its choice despite the progressives, but it does not want to nominate unless it can also elect, and that is where the party is up against a whole lot of trouble. Yesterday one wing of the progressives, for it has developed two, gave an ultimatum to the old party, to the effect that it is "Roosevelt or nothing." How much of this is meant and how much is bluff one can guess as well as another. It may be all one or it may be all the other though it is probably a "fifty fifty" mixture. This has all been unofficial and did not count. Now it is different for it is cold business and words mean some thing. It is not to be expected that much will be done to day or for that matter tomorrow, for as at present ar ranged the names of candidates will not be presented be fore Friday, and possibly not before Saturday. The platform is to be made and acted upon, and the olive branch is to be kept working double shifts. What action is taken, if any before Friday, will depend on the progressives. If they name Roosevelt as they have threatened to do, tomorrow, it will force the issue, and place the responsibility of another widening of the breach upon the republicans. The radical branch of the pro gressives is liable to do this, and this may cause a split among the splitters. From present indications however it is not probable the nomination will be made before late Friday, and probably not before Saturday. In the mean while the Capital Journal will give a full report of the doings of all the conventions and its readers can keep in close touch with the proceedings and do their own figur ing on possible results. The Capital Journal's cooking school at the armory this, week is attracting a great deal attention. Yester day's attendance was double that of opening day and be fore the week is over it is likely that the big building will be filled with interested women. Mrs. Vaughn is an ex perienced worker in the field, and understands thorough ly the subjects she takes for her lectures. It is well worth the while of any Salem woman to attend the after noon sessions of the school regularly. "The weather bureau having predicted thunder storms for the last half of the week, apparently overlooked the fact that a severe and killing frost is also due during that period, when many fresh budded presdiential aspirations will be nipped, literally, "in the bud." It is so pathetic that the whole crop must succumb, with the exception of just one. What a glorious country it would be if there were offices for all of us. THE MARKETS Justice Hughes having remarked in an address to a graduating class of girls that we should ail .veverence the flag, the Hughes boomers at Chicago proceed to point to the utterance as positive evidence of the judge's sound position on questions of national importance. To most of us i reads like a very common and ordinary platitude. The unfortunate ones in the hospital near deaths door from th.e accident near the west approach to the steel bridge Sunday have an abundance of time now. Before the accident they were in a hurry. Will autoists ever profit by the daily examples of death and disaster from speeding or careless driving? The following prices for fruits and vegetables are those asked by the wholesaler of the retailer, and not what is paid to the producer. All other prices 'are those paid the producer. Corrections are made daily. When the selection is made and the conventions have adjourned it might be well for the Smithsonian institute to send an expert to the United States -supreme court to learn the mystery of the sphinx. Justice Hughes might throw considerable light on that vexed question. Today the three conventions got busy in Chicago, and the whole country outside of Oregon will be watching them until the Hughes-Roosevelt row is settled. Here in Oregon we have something more attractive and certainly much sweeter. The Portland rose festival. Everything seems to be quiet along Market street today, .since- wheat lias weakened in Portland, the local quota tions are now feeling the effect, with figures today at SO and 82 cents ' Strawberry prices are verv much ac cording to quality, but the average price today is from $1.00 to 1.25.

On the registry of births its name will be Women's National Party, but it will be known probably as the Giraffes, being somewhat of the polka-dot order. The lion and the lamb, that is the Elephant and the Bull Moose will lie down together no doubt, but the ques tion that is bothering both is which will -be inside the other. Possibly the Germans got Yuan Shi-Kai. ppiinsiaiumes All - - - . . . .. "Tfc LJ THE GRAYBEARDS The menagerie and side shows have been running full blast at Chicago for several days. It is probable when the Colonel arrives and adds his nut-cracking bird to the exhibit it will prove a drawing feature. That is the kind of bird the elephant is looking for just now for the nut he is trying to open is an exceedingly hard one to crack. The worst of it is that when he gets it cracked he is liable to find the "kernel" is there. Vice-President Marshall says if the democrats want to nominate him for the place again, he will stand for it, but if not he will not complain. He also says that what is done at Chicago is none of his affair, but personally he would like to see Fairbanks win. Like all true, blue In dianians he thinks, Muckamaw postoffiee, Hooppole town ship, Posey county, Hoozier state is about the right spot for real presidential timber.

The lovely dames come clown the street, togged out in raiment slick and neat, and we look on and sign;- "The modern fashions," we declaim, "are noth ing but a burning shame they shock the purist's eye. They make the tired spectator ache; and how the womenfolks can make themselves a holy show, is something that we can't explain; oh, for the fashions safe and sane, of forty years ago'" We make such statements free and bold, but if you take an album old. nnrl vipw Hip u-ntnpn there, with gowns that look like circus tents, and shawls that look like twenty cents, and nets upon their hair, you'll say, "Those girls were surely shrieks!

The offer was accepted and the organ will be install ed in the chapel before the opening of the fall term. Sentimental reasons nlone induced the Taylor street church officials to uive the organ to the university. Al though several cash offers of $l!,"i00 had been received for the organ, it was tin wish to preserve it for Methodism. It is a two luminal organ, of rich, sweet tones and in good rendition. All the present faculty of the uni versity were re-elected yesterday after noon nt the official mooting of the trustee. This does not of course in clude those who taught in the academy, as at the meeting held last February, the trustees decided to discontinue this department of the university, as well as the art department, devoting all resources to the liberal aits.
