The convention was the largest in the history of the state and, it might be added, the hardest fought of any similar convention in Washington since she was admitted to this union of states. The line-up between the McBride and the anti-McBride forces showed itself on every occasion, and though the McBride folk lost they fought to the very last ditch and, be it said to their credit, made a most noble fight for what they believed to be their political and financial rights. While the McBride folk had but 250 votes out of the 660 they got more out of the convention in the way of argument than was expected under the circumstances. It was believed prior to the assembling of the convention that Henry McBride was beaten, and of course the gathering of the clans, and the assembling of the convention soon demonstrated that fact beyond a reason of doubt. Although Spokane brought a solid delegation in favor of McBride, yet at least two-thirds of them were anti-McBride at heart, and expressed their gratitude over his defeat. SEATTLE, WASHINGTON, FRIDAY, MAY 13, 1904 After the steering committees had completed their work of naming a ticket for the ratification of the convention, the first big fight was on the report of the platform. The McBride forces desired to supplement the tax commission proposition of the resolution committee with the railroad commission proposition, which was passed by the OUR PRESIDENT. THEODORE ROOSEVELT state convention two years prior. This precipitated the first fight of the convention, which after a heated discussion resulted in a victory for the anti-McBride forces of 390 against 270. A vote then to reconsider the defeat of the measure resulted in the same vote, which settled the long disputed question; and the Republican state convention went on record as neither recommending nor denouncing the railroad commission proposition which has been so much discussed by Governor Henry McBride since he succeeded Governor Rogers in the gubernatorial chair of :this state. The platform adopted by the convention is as follows:— PLATFORM. The glorious achievements of the Republican party during the administration of the late lamented President McKinley have been duplicated and emphasized by his illustrious successor, who has faithfully adhered to his policies and courageously carried them into effect. Theodore Roosevelt has borne the tremendous responsibilities of his great office upon the high level of national duty and national honor. His administration has been thoroughly Republican and truly American. The laws have been fearlessly and impartially enforced as they were enacted by congress; evildoers have been driven from the public service; combinations in restraint of trade and commerce have been brought to the bar of justice. His administration has brought unparalleled prosperity, maintained the public honor, fostered industry, stimulated enterprise, extended American commerce, strengthened American influence, ennobled American citizenship and brought prosperity alike to capital and to labor. We, therefore, favor the nomination of Theodore Roosevelt and hereby instruct the delegates chosen by this convention to support his candidacy. PROTECTION REAFFIRMED. We reaffirm our allegiance to the principles of a protective tariff and demand that whenever the contingencies of trade or com- LIBRARY UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON APR 29 1952 BLICAN PRICE FIVE CENTS merce shall require a revision of existing schedules that such revision shall be made by the friends of the system rather than by its ancient enemies. We favor reciprocity in non-competitive products and oppose any application of that principle which contemplates the removal of the existing duty on coal and lumber. In the light of our rapidly growing commerce we favor more liberal appropriations for the improvement of rivers and harbors, and direct our delegates to the national convention to urge a declaration to this effect in the national platform. Our monetary system is now on such a stable and satisfactory basis that men look back in wonder and amazement when they recall the wild vagaries and still wilder Democratic theories in 1896. We commend the wise statesmanship and promptness of action which secured control of territory for the Panama canal, and of the steps taken for its prompt construction. TAX COMMISSION FAVORED. We favor a tax commission with power to determine, for the purpose of assessment and taxation, the value of all corporate property, both real and personal, to the end that the burden of government may be borne without prejudice, favor or inequality. We thoroughly appreciate and heartily indorse, the faithful public service of our senators and representatives in congress. Every department of our state government has been ably, honestly, efficiently and economically administered under Republican administration. Trans-Pacific commerce is of vital importance to our state. We heartily indorse the action of the president and of congress which resulted in the appointment of a commission to investigate and report the condition of our merchant marine, to the ultimate end that American commerce may be carried in American ships. We favor the passage by the next legislature of an anti-pass bill in compliance with the provisions of our state constitution. We favor the enactment of such laws in this state as will prevent the acquisition and indefinite holding of large tracts of state timber lands to the exclusion and prejudice of small mill owners and consumers. FAVORS FEDERAL ROADS. Be it resolved, That we believe the general government should aid in the construction of a system of highways, under competent engineers. The United States senate committee having recommended the passage of the Latimer bill appropriating twenty-four millions ($24.000.000) of dollars for the improvement of public highways. Resolved, That the members of congress from this state be and are hereby instructed to support the Brownlow bill that is now before the house. It has always been the policy of the Republican party to protect the interests of labor. Legislation along the lines urged by the State Federation of Labor is heartily approved. This convention is in favor of the repeal of the present road law. STATE CENTRAL COMMITTEE ORGAN eee We favor the enactment of such laws as may be necessary to secure the early com- pletion of irrigation projects in Eastern Washington by the United States govern- ment. We would call attention to the natnoial importance of the Puget Sound navy yard, having a location unsurpassed within the limits of the United States, and would urge our congressional delegation to use its best efforts to secure the appropriations neces- sary to give the yard complete facilities for both building and repairing the largest bat- tleships. There was dissatisfaction, especially among the McBride folk, as to the ticket presented to the convention by the sttering committee, and a few feeble efforts were made to defeat a part of it, but it proved in- effective. ‘he attempt to ring in Herman D. Crow of Spokane as one of the supreme court judges was a complete failure, and showed that the McBride people were hope- lessly in the minority. The balance of the ticket was nominated by acclamation. CONVENTION CATCHES. To save time, expense, and worry, it would have been well for the various counties and sections of the state to have only sent their steeringcommittees to Tacoma,as they could have done the business just as well, and even better, than having the entire delega- tion present. The speeches of the three congressmen were much appreciated by the convention, and, inasmuch as all three of them had pre- pared themselves to say all the nice things that they could muster up, it was a real treat. Cushman, with his satire and humor entertained the convention until it roared with laughter. Humphrey, with his states- manship brought the house down and made a profound impression upon all present. His reference to the Panama Canal and Theo- dore Roosevelt was the hit of his speech. Jones with his’ partisanship amusingly re- minded the convention of the state of affairs under Cleveland, but refrained from going into details as lie intended that for the Democrats on the stump during the cam- paign. Meade, the gubernatorial nominee, is not much known throughout the state, but in the few minutes that he appeared before the convention he made a most favorable im- pression, and it is predicted that the party will not lose many votes on account of his nomination. The northwest may have got- ten a good deal out of the state convention, but in view of the fact that she in the past has gotten so little out of it, she is deserving of all she has gotten this time. Neither of the senatorial aspirants were invited to the stand to make a speech in the convention, but Senator Wilson and Mr. Piles were both present and watched the proceedings of the convention with much interest. Ex-Governor John H. McGraw, who has been a conspicuous figure in state politics since Washington has been a state, was much in evidence on this occasion, and was the big end of the steering committee from King county, and directed things in the interest of Mr. Piles’ senatorial candid- acy, and it has been given out that he made quite a few votes for his man. The committee assembled as soon as the state convention had adjourned, and after a spirited contest for the chairmanship of the same Senator E. B. Palmer of King was elected. He at once appointed Will H. Lyons secretary, but reserved the naming of his executive boand until later. Mr. Lyons is well experienced in this business, The members of the State central com- mittee elected by the respective counties are as follows :— Adams—J. F. Irby, Ritzville. Asotin—N. J. Clemans, Asotin. Chehalis—R. F. Little. Chelan—L, H. Bowman, Wenatchee. Clallam—Thomas T. Aldwell, Port An- geles. Clarke—E. M. Rands, Vancouver. Columbia—H. E. Gilham, Dayton. Cowlitz—E. W. Ross, Castle Rock. Douglas—A. L. Rogers, Waterville. Ferry—J. J. Duggan. Franklin—W. G. Gilroy, Pasco. Garfield—-S. G.. Cosgrove, Pomeroy. Island—Joseph Sants, Coupeville. Jefferson—C. E. Coon, Port Townsend. King—E. B. Palmer, Seattle. Kitsap—E. G. Ames, Port Gamble. Kittitas—Austin Mires, Ellensburg. Tt was the concensus of opinion that the nomination of C.W. Clausen for state auditor was a most meritorious one, and one that will greatly strengthen the party in the com- ing campaign. J. O'B. Scoby, who won the Thurston county delegation under the cloak of Lord for governor, shifted the delegation on arriv- ing at Tacoma to himself, and he was sprung as a candidate for state treasurer. It re- quired but a few moments to send things up in the air, and Scobey’s name was with- drawn and that of George Mllis substituted. S. G. Cosgrove, who is always the fun at every state convention, was on hand this time and more funny than ever. He, how- ever, not only told funny things, but told some very true things as well, and his ar- raignment of Will H. Thompson and Thomas Jefferson ‘Humes showed that he knew what he was talking about, and like- wise that he stood well with the delegates. Sam H. Nichols, the steering committee to the contrary notwithstandine. - not disturbed by its action, and re- gardless of who was or was not nom- inated for governor he stood nat for the secretary of stateship. Sam H. Nichols. as has frequentlv been said in these columns, has made a most efficient official, and de- serves the endorsement at his partv’s hands that was given him by the convention. Among the nominees of last Wednesday’s convention FE, W. Ross is among the most popular. He has been a familiar figure in the politics of this state, and has always been a most successful campaigner. Notwithstanding the “good roads” to the convention, the delecates were compelled to climb a rngeed Hill before they reached their destination. Ridnath’s history was an interesting orie. but few of the delegates seemed to have either the time or the inclination to read or consider its contents. as he has served a number of times in the same capacity for other state conventions. ‘he chairman and secretary will open head- quarters at once in Seattle, and while the campaign will not be opened until Septem- ber, yet preliminary work will be begun at once that things may be in good shape for the opening of the campaign. Klickitat—George H. Baker, Goldendale. Lewis—C. A. Doty. Lincoln—I.. Davies, Davenport. Mason—A., G. Munson. Okanogan—A. C. Gillespy, Brewster. Pacifis—C. A. Payne, Chinook. Pierce—James H. Davis, Tacoma. San Juan—Wm. Shultz, Roche Harbor. Skagit—W. J. Henry. Skamania-—W. E. Thomas, Butler. Snchomish—W. P. Bell, Everett. Spokane—T. D. Rockwell, Spokane. Stevens—H. G. Kirkpatrick, Colville. Thurston—S, A. Madge, Olympia. Wahkiakum—J. G. Megler, Brookfield. Walla Waila—O. T. Cornwall, Walla Walla. Whatcom—D. D. Egan, Bellingham. Whitman—Oliver Hall, Colfax. Yakima—B. F. Barge, North Yakima. The faces at the state convention were strikingly familiar to each other, for of many of them it could be truly said, “They had been there before.” If you have ever been a delegate to a Re- publican state convention and discovered any work to do aside from pushing around through the crowd and shaking hands with the fellows you met on previous convention occasions, you are out of the ordinary. In other words, when the sttering committee has been selected it is a complete waste of time for the delegates to pay and further attention to the proceedings, for they are never consulted, and for the most part have to get a morning paper to find out who they are to shout for on the convention floor. An old-fashioned —‘Every fellow for him- self and the devil take the hindmost.”— convention would be a great deal more satis- factory. Atkinson lost the governorship, but got the attorney-generalship. The latter is per- haps a better paying proposition for Mr. At- kinson himself, but those who supported him for governor do not appreciate the change. If Eastern Washington had not linked its fortunes with the rise or fall of McBride, she would have come out of the fight with a good deal of more honors than she did While there were a great many of the old timers at the state convention, yet the num- ber of new faces seen there were quite noticeable, and in the hotel corridors quite a number of introductions had to be given among the delegates. The commission men lost their fight, but, he it said to their credit, the advocates of the commission on the convention floor got the best of all the arguments, and though Will ‘Thompson made a flowery lawyer's speech, the old graingers skinned the life out of him as to facts and figures. Kensington and Rogers-Peet Clothing NOTHING BETTER W. B, HUTCHINSON CO. 1401 Second Av. and Union St. TARIFF TINKERINGS TARIFF TINKERINGS A few things can always be observed of the King county delegation: It is the largest one in the state convention; and yet gets less out of the state convention than the smallest; it makes more noise than any other delegation in the state convention and generally has four or five very illmannered fellows who are responsible for it. While no reference was made to the direct primary law in the platform, yet the real condition of the delegates in the state convention and especially those from King is a sufficient argument for the passage of such a law. RELIGIOUS NOTES. The Inter Ocean, Chicago, commenting on the fact that a committee engaged in the revision of the Methodist hymnal could find no worthy hymns written during the last twenty-five years, finds in this another indication of a modern lack of faith. "A generation that hesitates to pledge itself to a creed lacks the faith that is expressed in hymns of praise that bite into the mind and become really popular." A very different explanation has been offered, to the effect that the dearth of good modern hymns is due to a prevailing condition of "spiritual prosperity and peace, in which the inspiration of conflict and development is lacking." At the annual meeting of the American Tract Society, held in Washington a few days ago, the secretary announced that 89 new publications had been added to the society's list during the year. The grand total Democrats generally in their conventions this year may be expected to follow their usual custom of declaring for the principles of Thomas Jefferson and against the Tariff, regardless of the fact that Jefferson was a pronounced Protectionist.—Topeka "Journal." Some of the Free-Traders are now claiming that the Tariff cuts down the profits of manufacturers. This is an interesting flop. Heretofore Protection has been denounced as a "partnership" between the Government and the manufacturers whereby the latter's profits were swelled. The Free-Traders should find out where they are at.—Rochester "Democrat and Chronicle." The nation in the political processes of proving all things and holding fast to that which is good has found that the Republican party has been a good thing to hold fast to. It is profitable because it is good, and the best. Because it is so, they will continue to hold fast to it.—Pittsburg "Chronicle." THE TARIFF STILL AN ISSUE. The declaration in Congress of Bourke Cockran, a New York Democrat, in favor of the abolition of custom houses and the destruction of Tariffs shows that the FreeTrade virus still remains in the disordered blood of the Democratic party. The friends of Protection of American industries, under which our country's prosperity has been achieved, need to be constantly on the defensive, for though defeated in campaign after campaign the FreeTraders continually renew their attacks against the bulwark of the workingman's pro osperity. Congressman Dalzell of Pennsylvania, replying to Mr. Cockran, intimated that the * * * * * * \* \* \* Lest the delegates find time dragging on their hands while the steering committees are making up theiro minds to tell you who to vote for, it has been suggested the lobby of the hotel be temporarily arranged for a political farce comedy company to be paid for by either the state central committee or the candidates. The delegates can then enjoy themselves without getting tired, and yet go out between acts for their drinks Once on a time Negro delegates in the state convention was a familiar sight, but in making up the last state convention the Re- of publications issued since the organization, including volumes, tracts, and periodicals, was 749,315,572, in 158 languages and dialects. The number of family visits made by colporteurs during the year was 187,673, and 61,580 volumes have been left in the homes. The total number of family visits made since the organization of colportage is 15, 386,699 and the total number of volumes left in families 16,495,936. It was reported that at a recent meeting in Washington the archbishops of the Roman Catholic Church in America decided that it would be practically impossible to enforce the recommendations of Pope Pius X., in regard to the restoration of the Gregorian chant and the banishment of women from the choirs of the churches. Upon this report being brought to his notice, Cardinal Gibbons gave to a representatives of the New York Herald the following abstract time had passed for the academic discussion of the respective virtues of Protection and Free-Trade as national policies, for the test of experience has superceded the conjectures of theory. With our own land exporting its surplus products from factories which were permitted to grow under the fostering care of Protection, and with the leading statesmen in England clamoring for the imposition of duties upon foreign products, the Democratic cry for Tariff removal will be of importance and value only as helping to swell the majority that on election day of this year will be cast against entrusting power to so foolishly revolutionize a party. --Troy "Times." An original vessel has just been built in Denmark. It can travel on land as well as on water, crossing a neck of land on a railway track and then descending again into the waves. This curious boat, the Swan, runs between Lynghy and Foerum. Says the Revue Scientifique: "Lynghy is a town in the neighborhood of the four lakes of Lyngby, Bagswaerd, Fue and Foerum. Only the first and third of these are connected; the others are separated by a strip of land 300 metres (about 1,000 feet) wide, which is crossed by the Swan. For this purpose lines of piling extend into the water, far apart at first, but as they near the shore approaching until they will just admit the boat between them. The boat is thus guided until it strikes the line of rails on which it crosses the isthmus. Below the water line the boat has two opairs of wheels. As soon as these touch the rails a lever stops the shaft that drives the swew and stars another that drives these wheels. After crossing the land an inverse manipulation of the lever stops the wheels and the propeller begins to turn again. The car has turned back into a boat."—Translation made for The Literary Digest. * * * publicans did not entirely eliminate them, but they almost did, as there was but one out of the 660 delegates to represent the 4,000 Negro voters of the state. The Negro has been and is too loyal a Republican to be treated thus by his fellow partisans. The sumptuousness of the Foster headquarters at the Hotel Tacoma for the entertainment of the delegates was the genuine wonder and admiration of all. Its two stools and drummer's tables on which the visitors lounged were something out of the ordinary. from resolutions adopted in Washington, explaining the position of the archbishop: "The letter of the Pope was carefully considered; attention was called to the prudent toleration of the Holy Father, who, while giving special approvement and encouragement to the use of the Gregorian chant wherever practicable, is far from insisting on it exclusively, but dwells at length on the excellence of the sacred composition of the school of Palestina and praises likewise such works of modern music as have in like manner aimed at expressing the divine worship in a religious and worthy manner. It was also noted that, while encouraging the formation of male choirs he (the Pope) does not condemn congregational singing of divine services in whic hthe voices of women are included. It was urged that measures should everywhere be taken to comply as far as possible with the commands of the Holy Father."

John L. Wilson! The judge seems to have heard a familiar sound. Permit us in reply to "Why are we right-handed," to simply say, because we are not left-handed. Organized labor may be a very good thing, but Colorado seems to have "plenty more as plenty more as she can want" of it. Now that the old gas companies of this city have re-organized they are no longer troubled with Hills or Wells along their route. That was quite a dish of Crow that Spokane county offered to the state convention, but it was altogether too gloomy looking to be stomached. Russia and Japan are still pumping hot lead into each other, and both of them seem to like it. In other words, neither one of them have gotten enough to make them not want any more. The evil doers of King county are keeping seven superior court judges employed daily on Profanity Hill, and yet the bottom of the legal basket is by no means in sight. Talk about your Robber's Roost, but if the robbers don't roos in Seattle they come awfully near it. Nothing is more responsible for the nomination of Judge Rudkins to the supreme bencch than that he has frequently presided over the courts in King county, and in doing so, attracted the attention of E. C. Hughes, and he decided to nominate him for the supreme bench and that was all there was to it. BORROWED THOUGHTS. Incidentally the residents of San Domingo might point to Colorado for vindication.

The man who agrees to preside over the Democratic convention at St. Louis, ought to come in for a slice of Mr. Carnegie's hero money.—The Columbus "Despatch." Now newspaper accounts tell of a man who caught slant eyes from associating with Chinese. Mr. Roosevelt would better watch out or he'll get the watermelon habit.—The Houston "Post." A liberal share of the Carnegie hero fund should be set aside for the benefit of steel trust employees who invested their savings in Steel common at boom prices.—The Washington "Post."

If the streets were paved with gold there would still be objections raised to the dust. Misery loves company, perhaps, but society at large does not reciprocate the affection. The pen-and-ink artist may be classed among those who draw the color line. When a man is a "good fellow" downtown his wife usually wears her straw hat all winter. An old woman sometimes evolves into a new woman. Brevity may be the soul of wit, but there is nothing humorous in a short answer. Lazy people like to imagine all the world's a stage, so they may ride. The most brilliant jewel among gems is a sunny disposition. Dowie certainly proved himself a divine heeler. --- A man's own tongue betrays him as frequently as he is betrayed by the tongues of others. The self-made man is not always a well-made man. Divorce is not an evil when it separates manhood and liquor. When things go awry, rye is sometimes to blame. Smoking may be a pernicious habit, but fuming is worse. The political pot frequently emits unsavory odors. Frost is a good thing so long as it is impersonal. When contestants wade into the political pool they usually stir up a quantity of mud. An immaculate shirtfront frequently poses in lieu of a spotless reputation. A cocoanut is not always what it is cracked up to be. Some men who boast of holding the key to the situation seem compelled to knock. Many a young woman with golden hair wouldn't dare face the assayer's test. Inches do not constitute the only measure of smallness. Vanity causes strong men to appear weak. SCIENCE BREVITIES. "All methods of putting children to sleep by monotonous sensation ought to be forbidden," says The American inventor, "including monotonous lullabies. It is undesirable either to interrupt or to prolong artificially the slumber of infants and young folks. As for the practice of rocking, Dr. Manaceine has found by experiment that swinging the body for only fifteen minutes produces in a healthy adult a lowering in temperature of from one to two and one-half degrees Fahrenheit, with more or less pronounced brain anemia (bloodlessness) and pain at the heart." The discoveries made at Gezer have shown conclusively, says The American Antiquarian, that "many things are hidden under the soil of Palestine which will, undoubtedly, throw much light upon the early history of that land and probably confirm the Scriptures. Amodel of the ruins of Gezer will be shown at the St. Louis Exposition. The discovery of infants' bones buried under corner-stones indicates the prevalence of infant sacrifice, and explains the passage: 'The man who in the days of Ahab built the wall of Jericho in his oldest son, and set up the last gate in his youngest son' (I Kings xvi. 34)." One of the skeptics who believes that M. Blondlot has been deceived in his discovery of the n-rays" is A. A. Campbell Swinton, the Englist physicist. Mr. Swinton has repeated some of M. Blondlot's experiments and has observed the effects the latter describes, but in each case he attributes them to heat. "For instance," says The Electrical Review, abstracting a note in Nature (London), "a coin taken from the pocket and laid at the back of a calcium sulphid screen will, in a few seconds, show through the screen a disk of increased luminosity, the effect being due to the warmth of a coin. Or if two calcium sulphid screens are placed upon two pieces of similar metal, differing in temperature only about two degrees Fahrenheit, it is easy to discover which of the two metals is the warmer by the superior luminosity of the screen placed upon it." Seven Days' Current Comment and Observation THE LOUISIANA PURCHASE EXPOSITION—ITS SCOPE AND ITS PURPOSE. The Louisiana Purchase Exposition, opened at St. Louis April 30, was planned to be "the greatest exposition ever held in the world." It was thought that the most fitting commemoration of one of the most important centenials in American history would be a World's Fair presenting a comprehensive and instructive illustration of the progress of all nations in arts, industries, and culture. It was an ambitious scheme, calling for the expenditure of enormous sums of money, a vast amount of skillful exploitation work, the exertion of America's influence with foreign governments, and the employment of an array of well known experts in collecting and classifying the exhibits. But there seems to have been plenty of practical ability and high intelligence as well as ambition behind the scheme, and its propjectors have unquestionably succeeded in creating an exhibition far surpassing all former ones in the amplitude, magnificence, and beauty of its equipment. Ten million dollars were granted by the city of St. Louis—$5,000,000 by popular and an equal amount by municipal subscription—and an appropriation of $5,000,000 was made by the United States Treasury, to which has recently bee nadded a treasury loan of $4,600,000, to be repaid from the exposition receipts, making $19,600,000 expended by the Exposition Company in the three years since its organization. Forty-four States of our Union are spending nearly $7,000,000 on their exhibits, and thirty of them have beautiful State buildings erected on the grounds. The United States government has a special building and exhibits installed at an expense of $1,600,000, and about sixty foreign governments are participating at an expense of over $7,500,000. Mexico, France, England, Belgium, Brazil, Germany, Austria, Italy, Sweden, Holland, China, Cuba, Japan, Ceylon, Canada, Siam, India, and other countries have erected fine pavilions, some of which are noble replicas of famous old The Louisiana Purchase Exposition, opened at St. Louis April 30, was planned to be "the greatest exposition ever held in the world."

The site comprises 1,240 acres of lovely undulating park land, much of it covered wthi forest. The landscape gardener's art has heightened its scenic beauty. A Commission of famous architects laid out the building scheme. About 1,000 structures are posed on the site. Many of these are exhibit buildings of enormous dimensions and grand and imposing in architectural design. Of the twelve largest exhibition palaces, that of Agriculture measures 1,600 by 500 feet; the Transportation Palace, 1,300 by 525; Manufactures, 1,200 by 525; Varied Industries, 1,200 by 525; Machinery, 1,000 by 525; Liberal Arts and Mines and Metallurgy, each 750 by 525; Electricity and Education, each 600 by 525. The exhibit palaces cover 128 acres of ground. Eight of these buildings, grouped on broad avenues and lagoons that focus on Art Hill with its cascades crowned by Festival Hall and the Terrace of States, compose what is called the "Main Picture." This picture is intedded to be an exhibit of American architecture and sculpture at the beginning of the twentieth century, and over $500,000 was set apart for the artists designing the sculptural decorations herein displayed. The exhibits of all nations are the results of competitive selection. All exhibits have been subjected to an admirable scientific classification and are installed in their respective buildings in 144 groups and 807 classes, so that everything can be studied in comparison with all that belongs to its own class or group. Whenever practicable the "live exhibit," the prosecc as well as the product, is demonstrated, andthis has led to a great many "outdoor exhibits." Some fifteen acres in the "Mining Gulch" are devoted to mining and metallurgical demonstrations not admissable in the Mines and Metallurgy Palace.

All the space in the Electricity Palace had been reserved for preferred exhibits, more than a year ago, and yet many interesting exhibits competing for awards in this department are "live exhibits" at work as part of the immense lighting and power plant of the Exposition in the Machinery Palace. The British, French, German. Japanese, and other foreign pavilions are treasure houses of famous old painting, sculptures, tapestries, pottery, and other decorative art work not entered in the competitive exhibits of the Palaces of Arts, Manufactures, and Fine Arts. The scool, university, manual training, and technical institutions of Germany, France, England, and American are luminously illustrated here, both in organization and the method, and the teaching of defectives will be shown in actual operation. Scientists and members of all the technical professions will find that great entertainment has been prepared for them-laboratory demonstrations of all sorts; laboratory tests of locomotives, of power generators, and other machinery; elaborate models of harbor improvements and great engineering works in all parts of the world, including the great Assouan dam; tests of kites, aeroplanes, dirigible balloons, and other airship experiments. In addition there are such great attractions for them as the World Congress of Art and Science and a long series of technical and professional congresses, with distinguished participants from many foreign countries. For musicians there are great musical events extending throughout the Exposition period, with recitals by the most distinguished organists on the most powerful and wonderful organ that was ever built. For breeders of live stock there will be a live-stock show distributing $250,000 in premiums, besides the prizes added by the breeding associations, which are all taking a profound interest in the contests.

Salter preached the quad- rennial sermon, “His subject was ‘The Church.’ He portrayed the conditions, the advancements, sacrifices, persecu- tions, and blessings, from its birth, up to the present. What he wished to convey and lastingly impress upon the African Methodist ministry, was the works and faith together would save the world, and his church for Christ. Of all of God’s church, African Meth- odism seem ot have suffered from the master prejudices proscription and falsehood “In speaking of the M. B. church some 120 years ago, he said, that Afri- can Methodists were not permitted to partake of the Lord’s supper, and her children were driven by merciless pro- scription.
