To all present appearances the
outcome of the republican
national convention hinges on
tin decision of the contests
pending before the national
committee. All those friends of
President Taft who insist that
all his delegates should be seated
and that he should be nominat
ed and who have been villifying
the Roosevelt people for filing so
many contests and for question
ing the "right" of President Taft
to a renominat ion, should pause
and reflect. If renominated, Taft
will lie defeated at the polls iu
November. Most of his delegate»
have been hand picked and do
not represent tlie sentiment of
tlie states from which they were
chosen. Many of them, in fact
enough to hold the balance of
power in the convention,
from states in the south which
always go democratic at the
general elections,
rout hern states, under
hensible convention system,have
a representation in the national
convention put of all proportion

as compared with the number of
republican voters in strongly

Most of the delcgutes chosen for
Taft were not elected iu primar
ies in which tbo people could
express their preference, and so
cannot be considered

danger of being thrown aside if

or some other strong progres
sive is apparently wanted by
the people and if the people can
not get such a man at the head
of their government through
the agency of one party, they
may endeavor to do it through
another.
The democrat« of Idaho seem
to be muddling things up, too.
They condemn the last three
national administrations as
having retarded the develop
ment of Idaho resources with
the conservation policy. Gov
ernor Hawley said at Coeur d'
Alene that "the conservation
policy was creating monopolies
for those who happened to
acquire lands prior to the with
drawals." But he did not ex
plain how the parties who enjoy
these monopolies could have
made bigger monopolies of them
by acquiring all the rest of the
lands if the rest of the lands laid
not been withdrawn for national
forests when they were, thus
saving the remaining timber
resources of the state from pri
vate exploitation and the en
richment of the lumber barons.
An attack on the national
conservation policy may be
mean t as a hit against the re
publican party forpolhieal gain,
but it is really an attack on the
interests of the people because it
was t he corporate interests and
the representatives of the cor
porate interests, republicans and
democrats, alike, that fought
conservation policy the
hardest in the beginning and
are fighting it now.

A COMMERCIAL
TRAVELER'S LUCK
Queer Happening Turns De
spair Into Good Fortune.
A few years ago I was a commercial
traveler. At one time we received very
good salaries, but merchants got to
cutting up the held Into so many smnll
districts that they gradually cut up the
salaries Into a good many little ones.
My salary kept coming down till at
last. Just before Betting out on my re
turn from a trip, I received a note
from my employers stating that my
services would no longer be required.
What 1 was to do, bow support my
I wife and child, I did not know. My
train did not leave for several hours,
and I spent the time In a hotel
lounging. The distance to the depot
was but a five minutes' walk, but I
started half an hour before train time
and bad twenty-five minutes to wait
there. Seating myself, I watched the
people coming and going or waiting,
as I was. A young man with the curi
ous combination of red hair and black
eyes passed before me, went to the
ticket office and purchased a ticket
He carried a suit case. There was
nothing remarkable about that, for
nowadays every one carries a suit case.
Indeed, one of m.v own was resting on
the seat beside me. When the train
was called 1 entered a sleeping cur.
where 1 found the young man with
the red hnir and black eyes. He was
putting bis belongings into a berth di
rectly opposite to my own. In due
time all went to bed and the lights
were turned low.
In the middle of the night I awak
ened with the stopping of the train,
which, by the bye. ulwn.vs wakens me.
and, henring loud talking In the rear
end of the car. looked out to see what
was the matter. The young man who
bad occupied the berth opposite me
waa leaving the train In company with
a man who carried' bis suit case.
I arrived home on a very gloomy
doming, and it was gloomier still
when I announced to my wife that I
was out of n position. She was a
plucky woman and. Instead of despond
ing. by her cheerful behavior did what
she could to brace me. After breakfast
—I didn't know where we were to get
a dinner—I weut down to the store
nnd wound up my affairs there. As I
bad overdrawn my sulary there was
nothing due me. 1 was too discour
aged to go out nnd look for a new Job, ■
so 1 returned to my home to talk mat
ters over with my wife.
She met me at the door with an ex
pression of supreme wonder mingled j
with fear.

"No."
"Then where did you get all that

"Wtant money?"
"In your suit case. And what did

"For heaven's sake, tell me what
you're talking about"
She led the way to our bedroom, and
there open on the bed was the suit

The will of John Jacob Astor. who
perished In the wreck of the Titanic,
created no trusteeship for his son, Vin

estate absolutely. But as young Astor
ia still a minor the old trustees hold
over until he comes of age.
The compensation of the executors
and trustees, who are Nicholas Biddle.
James Roosevelt "Roosevelt and Doug

These are the snme men who have
been acting ns trustees uuder the will
of Colonel Astor's father. In addition
to outright bequests of $20.000 each,
Colonel Astor allowed each of them
$35.000 for their services as executors
nnd $50.000 for their services under
the three trusteeships created for Mrs.
Astor, Muriel Astor nnd his expected
posthumous child. This brings'the In
terest of each under the will up to
$105,000.
A prominent New York lawyer said

New York Table Gives Standing
of Delegates to Chicago.
The table compiled by the New
York Tribune, June 2, shows the
standing of the delegates to the re
publican national convention as fol
lows:
Roosevelt 458$, and Taft 439J, not
counting 16 delegates uncommitted
and 94 delegates seriously, contested;
Since June 2, Roosevelt has secured '
10 more delegates—those from Soutlî
Dakota—making his total on thé
Tribune's tabulation 468J; and Taft,
has secured the 6 Ohio delegates at
large, raising his total to 441}, or 98
less than enough to nominate.
The New York paper explains that
in its table 112 contested delegates
are given to Taft and 10 to Roosevelt,
In nearly all these cases the grounds
of contest appearing to be trivial.
According to these figures Taft
mus' still get al! of the 94 seriously
contes ed delegates and four of the 16
uncommitted delegates in order to
have the 540 necessary to nominate.
