This coincides with the statements made by former Chief Hepburn to this newspaper during the first stormy days of the Moore administration last win ter, When street conditions were at their worst and were an acute issue in the public mind. It will be recalled that the contractors howled In agony over Hepburn's declaration and hooted him J down as not knowing vhat he was talk ing about. Certain of them even went so far as to make the bluff thnt they were willing to show their books to prove that they did not make a million profit a year, as he charged; but when he called for a showdown they quickly changed their cocksure tune to a whine.

There are now' six of these depositories, und it is believed that none of them will want to glveup the city money even at the B'ewffate, which is an increase of one- .'-half .of 1 per cent, the present rate 'JbtteibStt. r , The significance does not lie in the 'amount which will accrue to the city in Interest, but in the change from ' former conditions governing tho city , aveney. It was not so long ago that there were only three depositories for the city money, and these paid the city 'bo Interest at all for the use of the fdniW. At that time the bmallcr "In active" accounts were in smaller Instl- ' '. tutlons and paid the city 2 per cent '. , Ufertet.

LODGE MAKES WILSON THE CAMPAIGN ISSUE This Is the Outstanding Point In tho Senator's "Keynote" Speech In Chicago SENATOR LODGE'S "keynote" speech evidently pleased the Chi cago convention. The delegates liked It for Irs attack upon President Wilson and the Demo cratic party. If they had been members of n jury called upon to consider the evidence In the case llu-y would have heard it in a different temper. Hut they are not jurors. They nre the prosecution. They have already decided that the accused Is guilty and they arc preparing to execute sentence. In other words, the convention Is not a judicial gnthcring. Every man pros ') "i "kv, mc mmiuuii .m'w ' Kiiclund centlemuu. mlelit have writtrn , for the Massachusetts Historical Society if he had not been iu politics would have been out of place. Senator Lodge himself is well aware of this. His speech was the kind of an address which lie thought the delegates thought they ought to hear. Thh means that It was extremely partisan. Thinking men outside of the convention hall mny differ as to the wisdom of nil of its partisanship, but no one familiar with What Is done in a political campaign expected the Republican convention to indorse Mr. Wilson. That duty or that pleasure remains for the Democratic convention to perform. If the campaign is to be fought on the Issue of the fnllure of WlNon, as it apparently Is to be. no better man thnn Senator Lodge could hove been selected to strike the tuning fork nnd hold It up to tho ears of the convention that It might know on what note the campaign song Is to be sung for the next five months. Senator Lodge hatex the President and everything thut he stands for. When he let that hate color Ills words nnd give fire to them, the delegates shouted with delight. Hut Senator Lodge said nothing more southing about Mr. Wilson nnd the Democratic party than tho President of the 1'nited Stntes has said about the Republican party. Many of the things Senator Lodge said arc true. And many others ho would doubtless admit were merely political buncombe called for by the exigencies of the time nnd the occasion. Of course, he told his fellow Repub licans that "the only organized politi cal force strong enough to grapple with the encircling dangers is the Republi can party." Some Democrat will sn the Mime thing of the Democratic party when its convention meets in Snn Francisco. The country, will hnve to decide be tween them, for it is true, ns Mark Twain mode Pudd'nhend Wilson re mark, that difference of opinion makes horse races. It might also be said that it makes political parties and presiden tial elections. The Republican party Is committed to the proposition that the administration of the affairs of the country by Presi dent Wiihou nnd the Democratic party has been a fnilure. And this is nut n difficult proposition to maintain iu its larger implications. President Wilson himself is a failure, and he must admit it to himself in the privacy of his own room at night. Hn set out to do certain things, nnd he has not done them. He has tried to place tho responsibility on the Republicans, but if he had been glfied with different qualities lie would have succeeded in what he undertook and would not have been compelled to heek some one else on whom to shift the blame. The very fact thnt he has been anxious for months to go into the presidential campaign on the issue thnt not he but some one else is responsible for the anomalous posi tion in which the United States iinds itself is proof of failure. And he need not complain if the leaders of tho party of the opposition put the responsibility up to him nnd Keep it there.. The delegates to whom Senator Lodge spoke were already persuaded of the need of putting the government com pletely in the control of the Itepubll cans'. If those delegates justify the confidence placed in them by the voters who sent them to Chicago they will most likely discover that the country agrees with them. It is weary of the Demo cratic party and it is nnxlous to have recourse to the party which It has . , , , - , " u ,v"Ki"- ""' ueciurc& wiut me country must decide between the Re- publican Senate and Mr. Wilson. Hut he was cauny enough to refrain from denouncing nn international agreement to prevent wars, while he defended the reservations to the league covenant made by the Senate. It was "Mr. WIN son's league" that he wished to be de feated, and he insisted that the Senate had served the nation by defentlng it. How far the convention will go with him iu this remains to be seon. What the leaders wish the party to stand for will appear when the platform is pre sented today. The cheers for Lodge s speech yesterday did not give any accu rate guide to the sentiment of the con vention on the subject. The delegates were in a mood to cheer every word in denunciation of the President. They will bo in u different mood today when tWy are to be called upon to set forth their own views on the great interna tional questions involved In tho penco treaty. The league plnnk will likely be so framed as to catch the greatest possible number of votes, tho votes of those who are satisfied with the treaty as it stands as well as the votes of those who are opposed to "Mr. Wilson's plan." It is too much to expect a straight out declaration from the politicians, who aro more concerned with winning an election than with standing for a course of action which might be inter preted by the Democrats as even a par tial indorsement of anything that the President has done. Yet we cannot help thinking that a straightforward course would win more votes than a straddle could possibly attract. If the nvenuou luoumyiuaorse yie treaty as dllled vj the aeienjiMe Lodge rests- 1 - I, "EVENING HJBLIC rations it would stand squarely on the position taken by the Senate and would preserve for Itself the opportunity to attabk the President for his refusal to accept those reservations. The speech contains nothing which would mnko ll Inconsistent for tho con vention to take such a position. DOWNTOWN NIGHTS THE account of n phase of night life thnt has developed n some of the downtown river wards, ns It Is given by the Rev. Dr II, Cresson McIIcnry, will astound nnd shock n great many people who ordinarily have no notion of the variety of existence ip modern cities. It Is not the conventional cry of vice that Is raised by the secretary of the famous Citji Mission. The con dition which he describes is not casual, transient or sporadic. It is rather the result of slow nnd steady moral de terioration inevitable In a region of the city where social standards have had to be readjusted to meet the requirements of endless police and political corrup tion. Because Doctor McIIenry Is dispas sionate his description of night life south of Old St. Paul's Is the more arresting. What the people In that region suffer und what the city Itself has to fear and be ashamed of Is largely the price nf u long tolerance that brought the gun into politics nnd mur der to the polls. And the victims nre the younger generation, which nlwnys has to pay for the sins nnd omissions of the old. Wherever the gutter school of politicians rules the thug soon be comes' something of a social Hon in his neighborhood. He is cultivated ns a useful asset and u person of Influence. He Is granted privileges nud n sort of immunity that the nterngc citizen knows nothing about Slums nnd tenements from which overcrowded and overworked people flee to the melancholy freedom of the streets arc Important elements iu the uew problem to which 11 quiet minister has called the attention of the city. For many children of immigrants ure not by any means disciplined to resist the feverish pressure of life In thick crowds nnd they arc not tempered to withstand the stimulus of concentrated excitement that passes so generally for diversion in tho present day. Hut aliens nnd their children nllke lenrn by example, nnd after a narrathc of orgies and drunk enness nnd immoralitv that often in clude boys and girls who are little more than children there remains one domi nant conviction. It is what the gang has left behind It. When Doctor McIIcnry talks of "the decent sort of pleasure and amusement that all young life calls for" he reveals a far better understanding of the tasks he has assumed nt his mission than the reformers who used to call hysterically for patrol waguus and riot squads in the days of "clean-ups" and (ilbboney rnids. Young life does indeed demnnd happiness nnd decent pleasure. Denied, it will go inevitably in a hunt for sub stitutes. Youth Is eager nnd it is ex perimental and it Is unwise. It hns energies nnd instincts thnt cannot be suppressed. Until modern society cnu give its .children wholesome pleasure and leisure iu which to enjoy it. nnd until, in modern cities, no child is de prived of some .sort of experience with the sides of life that ure gracious ami beautiful, the counterfeits of fun nnd the ligly imtntion of happiness provided iu dance halls, dives and the streets nt night will continue to peivert the minds nud spirits tf millions. Yet nt bottom the children of the congested sections near Old St. Paul's or elsewheie are no more eager to be wicked and no more given to violence and recklessness thnn children more fortunately situated. Hack of the con fusion nnd the ugliness In which they are overwhelmed nie the social mal adjustments which beget clogged tene ments and sweatshops nud tired nerves thnt cry out to be lelnxed. What cau police nnd patrol wagons do for them? Of whnt use is it to laid people who nre, for the most part, merely unhappy nnd misled? The dives and the saloon resorts shuuld be raided, of course. But who ever heard of their owners going a journey in a patrol wagon? They were the elect of the Fifth word political system. If there aie philanthropists in this city whose instincts of generosity hnve survived the strains nf the Inst few years thoy ought instantly to put money at the disposal of the City Missloncr whose quiet voice has called the atten tion of the community to the terrors thnt can follow upon general ucglect of fundamental social ethics.

The Republican national convention con vened on June 22 following less than a month after. On the 10th of June Governor Penny packer appointed Philander O. Knox to fill the unexpired term of Quay. This chain of events mndo Senator Boles Penrose the conspicuous and out standing "figure In Pennsylvania politics. He got n great ovation from the dele gates and spectators ns he marched down the conyentlon nlsle nnd took his place with his delegation. Governor Pennypnckcr nnd Hie new senntor, Philander Chase Knox, were comparatively unknown figures to the great mass of the delegat'es. They at tracted little attention. It was Governor Pennypacker's first national convention. Everything was new to him. He took nn nlmost boyish interest In the knteidoscoptc scenes thnt transpired around him. He rode out to the convention hall in n barouche with several other dele gates. After adjournment he walked had; to the hotel. "I rode out like n governor nnd wnlk ed back like n democrat," he snid with a laugh. qiHE William II. Leeds Association - was Philadelphia's star marching attraction at this convention of 1004. It tramped the long two miles from the hotel to the convention hall with Judge Thomas W. Cunningham ns chief marshal. Senator Nathan H. Scott, of West Virginia, was one of the prominent figures then In national politics. He has since forsaken West Virginia and now makes his home at the New Wlllard Hotel iu Washington. Liquid refreshments were to be hnd in nbundance then nnd in nil degrees of vitriolic strength. The California delegation Kept open house nt their headquarters with the moist assistance of n carload of native wines. Senator Scott iu the lobby lot the Palmer House wns rending convention news in n Chicago paper when his eye fell on the headline "Delegates pour in." "That's what most of them have been doing that I have seen," wns his com ment aside to me nt the moment. OENJAMIN HARRISON wns one -' of the most unresponsive, unsym pathetic Piesldeuts thnt ever occupied the' White House. He never seemed to warm up. Enthusiasm was ti missing word in his vocabulary. ( Following the adjournment of the convention thnt nominated him in 1SSS, I cnlledxOt his home iu Indianapolis to secure nn Interview. It wns a plain, four-square, iiupre- pteutlous dwelling and the coming Presi dent received me In n hack parlor which was his library and workshop. He was rending 11 newspaper as I en tered, but laid it to one side ns we be gan talking. He impressed luc then as n very quiet, undemouhtrntivc individual ; urbane nnd courteous, yet with a courtesy that seemed to have tiny icicles pendant from the edges. He was one of the few public men of the many I have met who improved me as being' self-centered nnd the possessor of n mind that ran in 11 very narrow groove. Quay once snid of lum that he was too short in build from the waist down, nnd that a man with that sort of u figure never made much noise in the world. LONG before the Republican National Convention of ISD'J assembled. Quny of Pennsjhanin. nnd Wolcott, of Colorado, had sworn the vendetta on President Harrison. Mutually and severally they deter mined to put the kibosh on his aspira tions for 11 second term. And this despite the fact thnt Harrl- 1 son was the leading candidate on tho Uo-off. The star of William McKinley was just visible on the horizon. Quny hated Hnrrlson. And it may be remarked truthfully that he had just cause for his bitter animosity. He hnd given the best efforts and ex perience of his political life to put Har rison In the White House. In return, President Hnrrison, throughput the four , venrs of his term, hnd limited the Penn svlvanlun at every opportunity nnd hnd 1 1L L. ! v. nt (ikmip Iniintli net iltmtnli rw 1 HI' III mill ill. ui inn ituftu na niuufcti I personally exhaled an objectionable ouor. Quay harked McKinley nnd Wolcott nominated nud backed James G. Hlnlne. It was ns u result of this animosity, and a desire to defeat Harrison at nil costs, that Qua) undertook to hoodwink bis own delegation at the convention, G' GRAHAM frustrated the scheme. Graham was one of the Harrison men In the Pennsylvania delegation. He made no bones nbout. it. He let every body know wliero he stood. Hefore the voting began Quay sug- ' gested thnt Pennsylvania retire and poll 1 the delegation. Ho elected to remain In the convention hall to. as he expressed it. watch the drift of things. Ho would join the delegation in their retirement shortly. As time passed and Quay did not ap pear some of the Pennsylvania dele gates became suspicious and Instituted an Investigation. They found that the balloting wns In progress. Quny hnd deliberately led them nstrny. Graham instantly sized up tho situa tion nnd, calling to Genernl I'rank Reeder, nctlng chairman of the 1 delega tion, to record his vote for Harrison, hurried out on tho convention floor.

Wheels within wheels, as It were. The Swiss engineers who climbed out on the brim ofWilllnm Penn's hat yesterday had a view which cannot be paralleled in .nil Switzerland. When It comes to n deadlock the delegates may take for their text: "Hettcr a dinner of Herb's and contcntt ment therewith than a stalled ox, etc." Tho New York World says Big Business has mobilized to defent John son. Thoughtful citizens enre not for the Instrument so the righteous deed bo done.

Why some enterprising syndleato fulled to bring over this fnir infant from England to write her views on the Republican National Convention is not understood. If she were here she might nominate Mr. Saltinn for the presi dency. Everybody else has been thought of. Of the 1000 delesntes, more'or less. nt least 100 are now persuaded that they have u real chance of nomination, nnd there nre nn equal number of non-.lelei-ntes who think tho same thlug. Mr. Snltlna had to pay real money to get Into Important society in England. In Chlcngo lie might ho n dark hor-e by just having his name mentioned In the press by Daisy Ashford, nnd we can think of no 'one who could do better justice to the situation here than n child authoress. The convention Is "rnthcr romantic." A Conventional "Plut" Next to 11 child authoress we should say that of the trained seals hero the beat were tho dramatic critics. And ninny newspapers have seut their dra matic critics. The plot of this conven tion is conventional. That souuds natural when you conio to think of it. It sturts out first net, with two and an obstacle. It should end in the filial scene with" two nnd no obstacle. The Republicans will make (onees sions to tlio popular love of a hnppy ending. Only 11 drnmntic critic can do Justice to a plot like that. A child authoress or u drumatic critic enn write this convention. Auy one can do it but n political writer. What does a political writer or a trained seal do to cover this convention? He walks endlessly nbout the corridors of tho Congress Hotel. He stops now nnd then nud Interviews other trained senls or political writers. Ono says It sure is n mess. The other says it sure Is. They pass on. They meet unother of their kind. One says: No leader ship. Tho other says if leadership were Intoxicating what there is hero would get by under tho Volstead act. They pass 6u. Oue meets still another. The first says: "Let's go get 11 glass of beer." The other says: "Ix-t's." And they nil have, trained senls and political experts alike, a perfect view of the situation capable of presentation in a powerful article. Aud the lenders, Mr. Penrose's sue cessors, come around nnd consult them nbout what Is tho true Inwardness of the situation. Daisy Ashford could do better. She at least could present a candidate, Mr. Hultinn, a man who spent money on his campaign nt leust EITH'S CHARLEY GRAPEWIN Wrliflit Dietrich, Ford.

I wear myself out everywhere except iu tho brain. My brain bears up beautifully. It is the one pnrt of me thnt I haven't had to use for a moment since I got here.

Hut the devil of it is you cannot go to sleep on it. You arc forced to walls endlessly around It, observing to other persons thnt there is n needle in the haystack. It is hard on the feet to be n great political expert or n trained seal." "Will the convention end by Satur day?" nsks n senator. "The bottles will all be empty by Saturday," replies his friend.

In a church some people don't know the ritual. They have to watch their neigh bors to know just when to rlso or bow or kneel or Bit, but in a convention every one knows the rltunl ns w -ll ns a couple participating In a woll-rehearscd wedding ceremonial. The Hon. "Cnbbngc" Lodge say "The autocracy of the occupant of tin White House," and the entire conven tion breaks Into wild applause. The ritual requires that you should applaud wildly the scoring of the enemy. The cheer lender leads you all in vast cheers. You must feel how good It Is to be alive and be n Republican, or If It is the other kind of n convention a Demo crat. You sing the Star Spangled Banner, tho voices getting fewer und fewer as the high notes nro reached, until there nre only a score in tho hall singing.
