The Trlstate Jewelers association,
assembled in convention at Cincinnati,
has injected a new element Into the
discussion of the parcels post propo
sition by adopting a resolution Indors
ing the plan, "when the point of ship
ment and delivery are both In the
same rural free delivery route." This
plan, it was argued before the conven
tion, would help extinguish the deficit
In the postal revenues and would at
the same time prevent tha catalogue
and mall order houses, all of which
are in cities not on the rural free de
livery routes, from using the parcels
post to further encroach on the retail
merchants.
Perhaps It would be unjust to hint
that the express company combine had
a hand in qualifying this Indorsement
of the recommendation that Postmaster
General Meyer will make to the com
ing congress for the adoption or ex
tension of the parcels post system.
However, the resolution is framed
along the line of what the express com
pany representatives have been fight
ing for these many years. The adop
tion of such a limitation by congress
would Interfere only In slight degree
with the monopoly which the express
companies now enjoy in the trans
portation of merchandise denied mall
privileges, under exiting postofflce
regulations. It would prohibit the use
of malls for parcels post purposes, to
the manufacturers and merchants of
the larger cities and give a decided
preference to the dealers In the smaller
towns which happen to be the focal
points of rural free delivery. The
mall order houses would get around
it by appointing a distributing agent in
each town to reshlp their consign
ments. Up to date, little has been offered
to show that the country merchants
have any pronounced opposition to the
parcel's post. Representations to this
effect appear for the most part to be
the result of agitation by Interested
parties under influence of the express
companies, rather than of action by
the retail merchant in the smaller
towns and villages. Unless congress
can be shown that the inauguration
of a parcels post system would work
a real hardship on the country mer
chants, something more effective than
the half way resolutions of the brand
of the Trlstate Jewelers' association
will be necessary to stop favorable
consideration ot the postmaster gen
eral's program.

81r Thomas Llpton will try once
more to lift the America's cup. Out
here in the west, where maritime
knowledge is confined largely to fa
miliarity with the movements and pos
sibilities of the schooner' prairie and
the other kind the Information does
not cause an especial thrill, unless it
be for the gameness ot the true sport
who has been thrice whipped and Is
still In the ring. Perhaps an addi
tional significance attaches to the latest
challenge In the fact that it comes
through the Royal Irish Yacht club,
instead ot the Royal Ulster, as In
former efforts to lift the America's
cup. The word "Irish" Is vastly more
eloquent and potent than the word
"UUter." The Irish have saved every
country but their own and the name
has a pleasing and catching sound.
Couple this with the fact that the new
yacht Is to be called "Shamrock IV."
and many people will see dangerous
strength In the combination ot "Irlah"
and "Shamrock.'
Tho cup, much vaunted and much
wanted, which was originally brought
to this side of the Atlantic in 1851,
after being won by the yacht "Amer
ica" In the contest of that year off
the Isle of Wight, has remained In
peaceful possession of this country
until 1871. Since that time, eleven
different efforts have been made to
restore the emblem to the British
possession, but the cup is still here.
Sir Thomas Llpton has made three
trials for It and has won the admira
tion ot the American people by show
ing that be is a true sportsman and
a cheerful loser. If he can win in the
next contest, no American will be
grudge htm the honor; still, wo fancy
that wo know something about yachts
In this country and Sir Thomas will
find It bard to break tho Americans
of the fixed habit of holding their own
against all corners'.
THB VOICC OF TBI PKOPLI."
The official canvass of the votes cast
at the recent state-wide primary In Ne-t
braska discloses, what might naturally
have been expected, that notwithstand
ing the fact that each was running on
both tickets, the populist candidate
for supreme Judge has received the
populist nomination and the demo
cratic candidate for supremo Judge has
received the democratic nomination.
Summing the result up in a word,
while the democrats and populists had
an opportunity to fuse at the' polls,
they have failed to take advantage of
that opportunity because the condition
of fusion on the part of tho democrats
was that the populists accepted the
democratic candidate and coatrary
wlse, the condition' of fusion on the
part of the populists was that the dem
ocrats accept the populist candidate.
If fusion upon a single candidate Is to
be effected now It must be by forcing
one of these nominees off the ticket
and substituting tho other In his place.
But "tho voice of the people" has
spoken and it tho rule of the majority
is to bo respected no fusion can take
place. By their primary election bal
lots the democrats have declared that
they do not want Judge Albert to head
thfelr ticket and the populists have de
clared that they do not want Judge
Loomls as their standard bearer. "The
voice ot the people" has been distinctly
registered against fusion snd to pro
duce fusion now by whatever method
of persuasion Is to overrule and repu
diate "tho voice ot the people."
It is not to be expected that any lit
tle thing like steadfast devotion to
principle will stand In the way of
merging the democratic and populist
tickets In Nebraska this fall. After
the merger has taken place, however,
the democratic and populist spell
binders will be duo to speak lightly
for awhile about "tho voice ot the
people."
777 E OKLAHOMA COSBT1TVT10S,
Advices Indicate that the constitu
tion prepared by the proposed state
of Oklahoma has been ratified by an
overwhelming majority and that the
democratic candidates for offices In
the new state have been elected. This
action places It before President
Roosevelt to decide whether the two
territories shall be admitted to state
hood as one state.
The situation is peculiar, In many
respects. The constitutional conven
tion, which prepared the constitution
Just voted upon, was largely demo
cratic, and prepared a document that
Is by many considered something of a
freak In the line of state constitutions.
It provides for the initiative and refer
endum, for state wide prohibition for
twenty-one years, and then offers a
code of laws, which opponents ot the
measure contend should have been left
to the state legislature. The consti
tution also embodies the Goebel law,
made famous or infamous In Ken
tucky, which leaves nothing to chance
In elections and gives the democrats
authority and power to gerrymander
the state so as to eliminate republican
chances for many years.
President Roosevelt has considered
the Oklahoma constitution, as en
dorsed by the constitutional conven
tion, at some length and, while he
has given no official opinion on the
subject, the Impression prevails that
the document Is to him far from sat
isfactory, its critics contend that the
convention should have adopted a
plain, simple constitution, complying
with the enabling act, and left all de
tailed legislation to future sessions of
the legislature of the new state. The
voters, however, have decided on the
original plan and, as they have to live
under the constitution of their own
making, the chances are that the ad
ministration at Washington will ac
cept the situation and that the presi
dent will issue a proclamation at an
early date, adding the forty-sixth star
to the flag.
BAROS VOir STXRXBtRO'8 RETIRE
MKXT Natives of Germany In America will
regret to hear that Baron Speck von
Sternberg has voluntarily asked his
government to recall hip from ' hi
position as German ambassador to the
United States. Baron" "Speck," as he
was familiarly known In political and
diplomatic circles at Washington, has
done more perhaps than any other one
man to strengthen tho friendly rela
tions between the United States and
Germany.
Having succeeded a line of German
ambassadors of the stolid type, Baron
"Speck" entered into tho true western
spirit and avoided many diplomatic
complications by his keen apprecia
tion of the difference between Amer
ican and German sentiment. He be
came a close personal friend of Presi
dent Roosevelt, enjoyed to the fullest
degree the confidence of the state de
partment and succeeded with marked
ability and cleverness. In securing
satisfactory adjustment of every ques
tion arising between this nation and
Germany during his service at Wash
ington. He is now taking a vacation
and will be succeeded at Washington
in November by Herr von Tschlrschky,
at present secretary of foreign affairs
of the German empire.
The redeeming feature of the retire
ment of Baron "Speck" is that after
a brief respite he will become head of
the Foreign office 'at home and will
be In position to further strengthen
and develop, the cordial friendship that
has been established between this
country and Germany during his so
journ here.

It that cocktail alleged to have been
served at the Fairbanks home in
Indianapolis when the president made
his Decoration day address there, Is
to be made an issue In the next presi
dential campaign, the American people
will want to know all the facts In the
case. As the story was first circulated,
the guests on that occasion were
served with cocktails. For a few days
the public laughed at the joke and
wished It was in on it. and then it
was discovered that some sober-minded
people were taking the matter se
riously. The vice president refused
to dignify the story by1 discussion,
leaving everyone to draw his own
conclusions of tho bibulous episode.
But the climax came or was precipi
tated when Bishop Berry ot the Metho
dist Episcopal church announced at
Detroit that "either President Roose
velt or Secretary Loeb, and not Mr.
Fairbanks, was responsible for the
cocktails served at the luncheon tend
ered them by the vice president at
Indianapolis." Secretary Loeb, who
occasionally grows weary ot playing
scape-goat, retorts with this;
Tha atatemnt la too abaurd to be (Ivan
any credence. Neither tha preeldent nor
his aacretary either directly or Indirectly
ordered anything- of. any kind at tha
luncheon .In quaatlon or at any other
luncheon where they were g-ueeta.
On the face of things, Secretary
Loeb's statement is unanswerable. To
start with, no guest, not even the
president nor his secretary, would feel
justified In kicking on tho menu card
of his host and ordering a cocktail on
the side. But Secretary Loeb goes
lame at the critical point. He is silent
whether cocktails were served at all,
or whether he or the president, or the
vice president partook of them. He
gives no hint, either, of the brand of
the cocktails. Were they Manhattans
or Martinis wet or dry old fash
ioned whisky cocktails, Portsmouth
cocktails, gin cocktails, or any of the
other brands recognizable by the
thirsty public and the man in the
white apron who polishes the glass
ware? Possibly they were only oyster
cocktails, that cheer but do not In
ebriate. In that case, the incident
might be considered closed, but If the
cocktails served were of any new
variety the great American public will
want to know the particulars and the
ingredients and perhaps to. try one
before passing Judgment.
The contention of the railway law
yers is that the State Railway commis
sion has no right to fix grain rates be
cause the rates on hauling grain be
tween Nebraska points are constituent
parts of interstate rates for hauling
grain to eastern points. On the same
theory no state railway commission
could fix rates for transporting any
commodity between -local points be
cause there might be an . Interstate
haul of the eame commodity Including
the same local distance. It that Is the
real basis of the railroad appeal to the
federal courts the sooner the State
Railway commission finds out where it
stands the better.

Minor Scenes aad Ineldeata Sketched
a the pt.
Waahlngtnn correspondents have mapped
out a royal good time for Secretary Taft
whlla making his homeward journey
through the empire of the csar. The Brook
lyn Tlmea' correspondent calls It tha moat
notable trip ever undertaken by an Amer
ican cltlsen. and givea these details:
It Is expected that Secretary Taft and hi
party will arrive at Vladivostok, Man
churia, on the 11th of next Norember. The
next day they will start on their long rail
road Journey to 8t. Petersburg. The trip
will occupy practically ten days. Including
a stop of two Cays at Moscow.
The arrangements for the Journey, which
were completed In a .tentative way befo'ra
Secretary Taft left Washington, hare been
placed In the hands of the International
Flet-t'lng Car company of Parts, which' op
erates the trains de Uyt on the Trans-Siberian
railroad. A special car has been
provided for the secretary and his family.
In It will be every convenience and comfort
of a well-appointed home. It will be ele
gantly fitted and furnished, divided Into
compartments and provided with every fa
cility known to modern travel. There tha
secretary may rest or work, as may suit
his fancy. Tho ether members of the party
will be provided for equally well. Tha tratn
will consist of three sleepers, a dining car
and an observation car. The entire tratn
will be beautifully and elaborately equipped.
It will be In personal charge of a prominent
official of tha company which operates the
line, who will see to It that tha Taft party
haa every desire anticipated.
The first Important stop on the Journey
from Vladivostok to Moscow In fact, tho
only one of consequence will be at Irkutsk,
the finest city In Siberia, not far from
Lake Baikal, across which the Russian
soldiers marched on the Ice en route to
Manchuria during the Russo-Japanese war,
and 3.35 miles from Moscow. According
to the schedule of the train a stop of
only two hours Will be made at Irkutsk,
but an arrangement has been .made by
which Secretary Taft may prolong his so
journ there. If he desires to do so. The
city of Irkutsk Is the center of the Ruseo
Chluese tea trade, has a population of
60.000, Including 6.00 exiles, and Is an ad
mirably appointed town.
The scenery along the Trans-Siberian
road is wild and Interesting and the views
from paslng trains are magnificently pic
turesque and beautiful. At tha various
brief stopping points Becretary Taft's train
will be supplied with fresh fruits, vege
tables and other provisions.
Throughout the long Journey the secre
tary will be the guest of the crar of Rus
sia and every Russian official, at any
point en route will see to It that nothing
is left undone that would add to the com
fort and convenience and interest of th
trip. On arrival at St. Petersburg Secre
tary Taft will continue as the guest of the
czar and will be accorded the most not
able distinction.
According to Secretary of Commerce
Oscor S. Straus the division of information
newly established In his department la to
be a much mora far reaching Instrument
than haa been supposed. It la not merely
to aid In the distribution of immigrants,
but to serve as a sort of government em
ployment bureau for American working
men. Mr. Straus' plana contemplate not
merely the furnishing to working-men, as
well as immigrants, of Information about
where employment may be obtained, but
the actual obtaining for them of a prom
ise of employment before they leave one
part of tho country for another. Hitherto
It has been understood that this new bu
reau was to aerye. only aa ' a means for
supplying Immigrants with Information. '
"The last congress," said the secretary,
"provided for a division of Information
In connection with the bureau of immigra
tion. I put at the head of this division
one, of the most respected labor men In
tho country, Terence V. Powderly, a man
of broad experience and great ability.
"It Is my hope to make this division
really helpful to labor In general In plao
log such Information before not only the
Immigrants, but the laboring men through
out the . country, as will enable them to
supply the demand for remunerative labor
in every part of the country.
"I hope the division will be a kind of
clearing house, so that the wage earner
may obtain definite employment before
moving from one section of the country
to the other."

'I muat have a fur overcoat,' said the
hunter.
" 'I,' sld the panther, "must have a din

panther and tha hunter met.
" 'Ah.' said the hunter, gayly, levelling
his gun, 'here Is my fur overcoat'
"And he shot; but the panther, dodging
behind a tree, escaped unhurt
"Then the panther rushed forth before
the hunter could reload.
' 'Ah, here's my dinner," said the panther.
"And he fell upon the hunter and de
voured him.
"Thus each got what he wanted, the
hunter getting his fur overcoat and the
panther getting his dinner."

Twenty-five killed In a train wreck In

WhyT
It was because the trains coming from
opposite directions were not running under
speetflc orders from headquarters, but In
stead were feeling their way along a single
track In accordance with Information oc
casionally furnished to the conductors as
to the location of other trains.
A little error In a dispatch between, two
atatlons, a figure 30 Instead of M--that waa
all. One conductor thought he had time to
make a siding four miles away before the
other reached It. The trains met halfway.
The twenty-five dead furnish twenty-five
substantial reaaons. If, Indeed, any new
reasons are needed, why congTaa and the
state legislatures should abandon their
present halfway measures of regulation and
pass stringent laws compelling the com

ancient principle by the Judges to a new
state of facts often Is quite a far-reaching
In effect as any statute. An Instance in
point 1 tb recent decision of the New
York court of appeal In the suit ot a
policyholder who complained that the
published statement of the company were
misleading and presented the condition of
the concern In a light more favorable than
the truth warranted. The decision of the
court was that the policyholder was en
titled to a return of all premiums paid by
him and all accrued earning without de
duction for tbe cost of Insurance during
the life of the policy or compensation of
any kind whatever to the company.
The decision Involved nothing more than
an application of the principle that fraud
vitiate a contract; still, as a restraining
Influence on over-aangulne or unconscion
able Insurance officers this Judicial dictum
I comparable In effectiveness with a
whole chapter of legislative saferuards
from the Insurance code of a state. The
possibility of having to return premium
received on policies, together with all ac
cumulated earning,, even on risk that
have been carried for ten or fifteen years,
will make the officer end director very
careful about putting anything Into their
annual or other statement that might be
construed to hsv been untrue and de
ceptive and. therefore, fraudulent. Tbe In
ducement will be strong to publish all the
facta, the favorable and tha unfavorable aa
well. The remedy la not perfect; It may be
the case that to an Inaurcd person who
haa lost hi health or ha pasaed the finish
of youth the contract 1 worth more than
the returned premium would be. But no
legal remedy I perfect, and o far as it
goesand It roes very far the remedy ap
plied by the court of appeals make for
honest publicity and Improvement In the
confidential relation between Insurers and
Insured. , .

One of the regular and established ource
of new upon which maker of newspapers
have come to depend I the daily record
of automobile accident. During the last
rummer scarcely a day ha passed without
It grew some story of ome seriou and
often fatal accident to drivers and other
occupants of automobile. Occasionally the
monotony la varied when harm come to an
Innocent pedeetrlan, or when an uncontroll
able machine leap a wall, climb over a
few trees, awlms a lake and land squarely
In th mldrt of a picnic party.
When one read of the desperate chance
taken by the men who race motor car
on the public roads . It la hard to feel a
proper amount of sympathy for them when
the Inevitable word cornea of their Injury.
A long aa men will deliberately invite
death by foolish and profitless diversion
they muat expect the logical consequence
of their own folly. The pitcher that goes
too often to tbe well Is broken at last, and
the speed maniac who continually places
his life and the live of others in Jeopardy
will 'suffer th final penalty.
Automobile- racing seem to have been a
logical evolution la the tr1vlng of men for
speed. There Is something In the very fact
or flying through the air at a breathless
pace that intoxicates Its devotees, to their
own undoing. For th time being. Judg
ment la unhinged and all th natural ele
ment of caution are lost In a wild freniy
that has been' solemnly pronounced by a
board of British experts as temporary In
sanity, related directly with the mania for
manslaughter and self-destruction. It does
not require profound Investigation, how
ever, to convince any wall balanced mind
that lljn hysterical men who drive their
powerful teaehlnes at the speed of th wind,
flirting with titsth at every turn of their
wheels, are menu My warped. Fortunately
their class 1 small The maintenance of
racing automobiles I ioj evpeaalve a pleas
