The Chief hours through Mr.Uilluun
and Ktv. Hose glowing reports of the
'celebration over In the JrcIc Brown
neighborhood, In Kansas. The vicinity
is also luiown by the name of the U
11. church, us The Pawnee church dis
trict. Five or six hundred people were
gathered together, and the niTuir was
u pleasantly harmonious combination
of church uild nou church people. The
exercise were conducted in Mr.
Urowu's grore of natural timber on
one of the branches of the White rocU.
The platform- pnrt of the program
'consisted of nneuturlalnmeiit giVetl by
the Sunday School children under the
direotioti of Mrs. Spurrier and Mrs.
Harvey ltlulr. T)iere wore three drills
which attracted general 'approval.
Eighteen kitidergurtuerb, each carry
ing a ilag performed a number of evo
lutions very skillfully considering
their age. This was followed by a
drill of larger children, in which three
girls were draped in the national flag
and became the centers of some very
pretty movements on the part of a
number of boys. The final exhibition
was a performance of nine young
ladies, three of whom were dressed in
red, three in white and three in blue
The graceful marchings, counter
marchings and posturing of these
misses to the acoompanlment of music
indicated the arrival of a sane and
sensible, celebration of the national
.birthday.
In addition to, and Interspersed
with, these drills were recitations and
songs which seemed to please those
who were fortunate enough to be
seated in front where they could Hear.
After the Sunday school entertain
ment was over Mr. Gllham and Rev.
Rose made short addresses.
Of course there was the inevitable
picnic, and the small boy had his fire
crackers. Naturally, also horse shoes
were in evidence, but on apian entire

In a recent communication Senator
CuminiugH expresses Ills opposition to
the formation of a new party. He,
however, intimates that the Chicago
convention has but little, if any, right
to be called a republican convention,
and does not question the right of re
publicans to refuse allegiance to its
candidate. .(
So far I agree with the distinguish
ed seuHtor. But the senntor seems to
think that thero will be a way provid
ed in the future for the prevention of
the evils that made the lastconvention
so inisrepresentative. It is nt this
point that I am unable to agree with
the senator. The present national
committee consists of fiftythroe mem
berseach of whom has an equal vote
on questions before the committee.
Twenty one of these members are
from' republican states. Sixteen are
from democratic states where there is
practically no republican prty, or
where the republican party is without
hope of an electoral vote. Five of
these members are from territories
where there are no voters at all. They
are the presidential appointees to
office. This may be 'said, of most of
the members from the democratic
states. The republican members of
the national committee who represent
the republican party in republican
states are already equalled by the
presidential appointees iu territories
and non-republican states. There are
eleven states which may bo regarded
as more or less doubtful. These
doubtful states by joining with the
democratic states and territories can
absolutely prevent the republicans
from the republican -states holding a
convention, unless tbey disregard the
national committee. This is precisely
what was done at Chicago. The na
tional committee said that the repu
blican states should not hold & con
vention unless they came into one in
wbioh they were made a hopeless min
ority by the action of the national
committee. The only way to avoid a
like result in the future is for the re
publican states to control the national
committee, and give to the democratic
states and territories only such power
in that committee as their republican
votes entitle them to.
The members from Hawaii, Porto
Rico, the Phillinlnes, Alaska, the Dis
trict of Columbia, where there arc no
votes at all, combined with members
from the Southern and the Mormon
states where the republican party is
in a hopeless minority, under the lead
of the New York and Indiana machines
said that the only way that the re
publicans of Pennsylvania, Illinois,
Ohio, M assaobusetts, Wisconsin,
California, Kansas, Nebraska, Minne
sota, the tnvo Dakotas, Washington
and Oregon, which furnish the bulk of
the republican votes, could come into
the convention, was to come in as part
of a minority. In other words, tho
democratic states and territories un
dertook to run a' republican conven
tion. Under tho preseut organization
of the national committee, the same
fraud will bo perpetrated whenever
tho president of the llnlti-d mates.
who appoints tho republican commit
tee men from these states and terri
tories instructs thorn so to do. It has
never been dono before until now.
But Mr. Taft has done it once, and will
do it again if we reelect him president.
