Like all other arts and sciences many people attempt it, and even claim Proficiency, ‘whe do net know even the first principles or fundamental rules pre- taining to it. It is seldom that a town of the size of Grand Rapids is fortunate enough to have one person in it who is a real artist and thoroly knows her business, though many there be who profess to do so—as many can prove to their wardrobe’s sorrow. One reason for this is the very fact that so many do not appreciate the services of an artist, and seem to think that the time and work of such a one is worth no more than that of a pretender. Now, is it not much better when you have pur- chased a fine piece of goods and put money into good trimmings to put @ little more with that and have some one who KNOWS HOW make that! gown, and be sure that when it is finished it will be not only fit to Suits in White, Tan and Tan and Blue.

Immediately after the chaplain had offered prayer Governor Hadley was on his feet on a point of information. | He asked if there had been a tempo-| rary roll of delegates prepared and| | was told that there was one. He then | moved that it be rejected and another substituted containing the names of Roosevelt delegates ousted by the na- tional committee. | A point of order was raised against} this motion and was sustained, but in| order to be fair, as he put it, Chair- man Rosewater of the national com- mittee permitted twenty minutes’ de-| bate on the proposal. | Governor Hadley and Governor Fort of New Jersey supported the motion, and their attacks upon the committee were cheered to the echo. Governor Fort declared that the present was the time to establish the precedent that the convention con- On the oth- er side Messrs. Payne and Watson made perfunctory parliamentary talks, the gist of which was that Hadley’s motion was out of order because the | convention had not been organized.

Then Cochems of Wisconsin presented the name of Gov- ernor McGovern of Wisconsin, who had been agreed upon as the Roose velt candidate, Senator Borah having decided to retire from the race. The nominations were seconded and the first great test of strength be- tween the two factions was on. A number of seconding speeche. were made. Francis J. Heney, speak- ing for McGovern, was interrupted frequently with hoots and jeers and cries of “get the hook.” Senator Bradley of Kentucky seconded Root’s nomination and was interrupted with cries, “You voted for Lorimer,” and afterwards by “Lorimer, Lorimer, Lorimer,” so that his speech was much prolonged. Police at Every Door. Policemen at every corner, at every @oor and in every aisle, were the dis- tinguishing feature of the scene at the Coliseum in the early hours he- fore the doors were opened to ticket holders. The nervous tension due to general expectation of tumultuous scenes “from the drop of the hat” at the opening of the Republican national convention was very apparent on all sides. The police were as nervous as any- body else. It was difficult even for People with proper tickets, including newspaper men, to get into the hall. Its sergeants-at-arms, doorkeepers, ushers and other subordinate officials were so keenly alive to the possibili- ties that their hands trembled as they took tickets and ushers showed peo- ple to their seats with furtive glances about them as if there was something explosive just under their feet. For the first time in the history of Republican national conventions no Picture of the president was hung in the Coliseum. DELEGATES DESERT COLONEL Four From Illinois Decide to Support Taft. Chicago, June 19.—The Tribune ®ays: At least four of the instructed Roosevelt delegates from Mlinois, elected after the direct primaries by organization conventions, have turned themselves over to the president’s managers.

OLD GUARD MEN LOSE POSITIONS Progressives fiet Places on National Committee. STRONG SUFFRAGE PLANK ee Votes for Women Occupies a Con- spicuous Place in the Platform to Be Presented for Con- sideration of the Convention. Roosevelt Chicago, June 19.—Woman’s suffrage occupies a conspicuous place in the Roosevelt platform that will be pre- sented for the consideration of the convention. The platform comes out strongly on the subject along the lines of the declaration recently made by Colonel Roosevelt. On the question of the tariff it is recommended that revisions shall be | preceded by careful inquiries conduct- ed by a nonpartisan commission. An industrial commission to delve into the question of the tariff with a view to ascertaining the precise effect of customs duties on the various classes of the population is also pro- posed. In addition, the Roosevelt platform recommends the creation of a commis- sion to exercise the same sort of juris- diction over industrial corporations as is exercised in the case of railroads by the interstate commerce commission. The document is strongly progres- sive in tone. In this respect it pre- sents a contrast to the platform draft- | ed by Elihu Root, Nicholas Murray | Butler and Charles W. Fairbanks, in behalf of the Taft forces. The Taft platform is progressive in some degree, but its recommendations platform is said to be entirely satis- factory to such regulars as Bill Barnes of New York, and for that reason is looked upon with suspicion by the pro- gressive followers of Roosevelt, La Follette and Cummins. Significant Action Taken. The most significant action yet taken by the Roosevelt forces was recorded | at a meeting held after midnight when the Illinois delegation adopted the rule “that no action shall be taken by the convention in any matter pertaining to the temporary organization that is | not approved by 540 uncontested and untainted delegates.” The Roosevelt leaders sanctioned the pronunciqmento and will endeavor to enforce it. The revolution in the national or- ganization has set in, and many not- able figures who have towered high in the national conimittee have been laid |of New York city, who handled the a | ;RESULT OF A CONFERENCE) hall. Later it was announced that low by the axe of the progressives, such men a cott of West Virginia, Mulvane of Kansas, who is succeeded by William Allen White; Murphy of New Jers Rosewater of Nebraska, Nagel of souri and Vorys of Ohio go off the national committee and are succeeded by Roosevelt men. Senator Murray Crane, one of the leading Taft lientenants, retains his place as a member from Massachu- setts, but he had a time doing it. Colonel New of Indiana is still an- other of the old guard who will not be on the new committee. He resigned. Colonel Cecil Lyon of Texas, a red hot Roosevelt man is among the fal- len. His scalp is one of the few cap- tured by the administration forces. H THINKS SENTIMENT SHIFTING Ormsby McHarg Believes Roosevelt Is Gaining. Chicago, June 19.—Ormsby McHarg contests for Roosevelt, declared that the result of the fight on Root would not necessarily forecast Taft’s nomi- | nation. “It is almost impossible,” he said, “to deliver all the delegates from the preferential primary states on every proposition. The result of the Root vote is being given too great a sig- nificance. “The nomination by rights is ours. We have had all the lobbies since the adjournment of the national commit- tee. I believe the sentiment is shift- ing toward Roosevelt.” Mr. McHarg, however, was not near- ly as optimistic about the final results as some of the other Roosevelt men who have been making extreme claims | on paper. Roosevelt Men Decide to Support Mc- | Govern for Chairman. Chicago, June 19—Senator Borah ennounced an hour before the conyen- tion assembled that Governor McGov- ern of Wisconsin and not himself would be the Roosevelt candidate for temporary chairman This deci was reached at a conference Cx al Roosevelt had with his leaders before they left for the Co um The Wisconsin delegation at the conclusion of a caucus that lasted until 11:30 o'clock decided by a vote of 16 to 11 that it could not present a candidate for temporary chairman. As soon as the caucus adjourned a rush was made for the convention Wisconsin would support Governor McGovern for temporary chairman.

WRITES AS LIFE IS EBBING Woman Suicide Tells How It Feels When Near Death, While dying by her own act at St. Paul, Mrs. Caroline Goodspeed, aged twenty-four, wrote a last letter to her husband telling how it felt to be slowly nearing death by means of in- haling gas.
