WASHINGTON CITY, Nov. 12.-The post
master general has been obtaining informa-
ton from various postmasters relative to the
percentage of prepaid letters weighing under
half an ounce, over half an ounce and less
than an ounce, and over an ounce. POST
master Conger, of this city, has written
communication to the postmaster general
embodying the results of count of the let
ters passing through the Washington Office
for three days. The days on which the count
were made were Oct. so and 81 and Nov. l.
The total number of letters passing
through the office during these
three days was 55,S02, of which
SO, ,149 weighed under half an ounce, 4,06S
weighed over half an ounce, and less than an
ounce, and 1,5S5 weighed over an ounce.
Eighty mine and eight-tenths per cent.
weighed less than half an ounce. The replies
from the Philadelphia and New York offices
show that 94 per cent. of the letters passing
through those offices weighed less than half
an ounce. The large amount of official mail
handled by the Washington offices reduces
the percentage of letters weighing less than
half an ounce in that Office. 1t is stated that
this information is being obtained with the
view of considering the feasibility of read
justing the rates of letter postage.

THE LIQUOR QUESTION in IOWA.
How the Legislature Recently
Elected stand.

CHICAGO, Nov IL. The Tribune, with a
view of ascertaining the sentiments of the
members of the next Iowa general assembly
which meets early in January, on the ques-
ton Of prohibition, recently addressed cif-
cular letter to each Of tie $50 members who
will compose that body requesting their
views on the following points:
/. Do you consider the amendment now to
nave binding force in spite of the adverse
decision of the supreme courtl
q Do you favor the submission of a new
amendment.
3. Do you favor establishing prohibition by
statutes!
The result of this was that answers were
received from all the members, and
tie general result is as follows: First ques-
tion-Yes: Senate 3; house, IA. No:
Senate, 45; house, IS Second question
Yes: Senate, 20; house, 80 No: Senate,
27; house, 6, Third qlesdon--Yes: Senate,
81, house, As. No: Senate, Is; house, 40
The Tribune concludes from the
above figure; that the old amendment
is considered dead and buried
that resubmission hasn't scarcely
the ghost of show; and that statutory pro-
hibition may lack very few votes of carry
ing. A large number of the members in both
houses are strongly inclined, if total prohibi-
tion shall fail, to favor state high-license
system in towns of over five thousand inhabi
tants-not less than 81, 900 being fixed as the
fee-combined with local option in the rural
communities

KGilhOurne's Verdict.

CINCINNATI, Nov. l2.-The Enquirer's New
York special says of the result in the Kill
bourne suit and the causes which led to it,:
At that time congress was run entirely from
New York city by newspaper clamor. The
congressman lost their heads, and forgot the
restrictions of wholesome law, and subse-
quently, after having confined Knseurne for
considerable time, the United States court
of the district let hiA out on writ Of habeas
corpus, and he forthwith sent to the investi-
eating committee of congress genteel letter
saying they could have all his books
the moment they ceased to demand them as a
right. that he had merely been standing on his
rights as citizen, and had nothing whatever to
conceal No demand was made for the books
The man had been put in jai! for nothing,
and now he is getting damages from jury
of his fellow-citi2ens Congress may refuse
to vote Mr.. Thompson the money to pay this
bill, but hereafter, think, neither congress
nor its efficers will be too hasty about throw
ing men into jail

thus given partisan opportunity of which
the lew deprived the civil service commission.
By the amendment to rule 8 that oppor-
tunity has been removed, and the presi-
dent has notified all executive officers
and all Federal officials under whose juris-
diction the civil-service law is put in opera
tion that in the selection from the persons
certified no discrimination is to be made by
reason Of any political-or religious opinion or
affiliation.
The history Of the adoption OF this import
ant new rule possibly viii never be written.
Ifit should be, it would appear that at first the
cabinet were by no means unit with regard
to it, and that it has taken several months OF
experience to arrive at this result The
president has given it his heartiest approval,
and as further indication of his readiness
to cooperate In this reform it is intimated
by those who should know that he may ex-
tend the operations of the law to other offices
than those having fifty clerks, to which and
to the executive departments in Washington
alone it now applies.

THE REPUBLICAN CONVENTION.
Discussing the Most Desirable Place
to Hold Ii.

NEW York, Nov. IA group of gentle
men sat in the Republican state committee
rooms talking over the future. Not much
was said about the presidential candidate.
The issue was raised as to where the next Re
publican convention should be held
''Well," said leading man, there have
been four held in the west and three in the
east This year it will probably come east.
The first convention of the Republican party
was held in Philadelphia in 1856. Next time
it went to Chicago, the third time it came to
Baltimore, the fourth time it went back to
Chicago, the fifth time it was in Phila-
delphia, the next time it was in Cincinnati,
and the seventh time it was held in Chicago VI

The Man who Is Celebrated.

Services and teStlv1cleS commemorative OF
the birth of Luther have been held all over
the civilized world during the past week. In
Germany the closing celebrations commenced
Friday evening. The following is a short
sketch of his work for religious reformation:
Martin Luther was born at Eisleben, Ger
many, in l4S3 He was ordained a priest in
the year 1907, and moved to Wittenberg the
following year. In 1909 he began lecturing
and preaching on the holy scriptures, and
the novelty and liberality of his ideas began
to excite attention. The following year
he was sent on a mission to Rome.
What he saw made deep impression
on him, and almoss Immediately on his re-
turn he was made a doctor of divinity, and
his career as reformer may properly be said
to have begun. The system of indulgence
had become an organized part Of the papal
system. John Tetzsl, Dominican friar, es-
tablished a Juterbach, onsthe borders of Sax
ony, was the principal agent of Rome for the
sale of these pardons for sin. Against him
and his traffic Luthers Indignation waxed
hot, and finally became irrepressible He
drew up ninety-five theses against the doc
trine of indulgenceS, and nailed
one of them to the gate Of the
church at Wittenberg, where it awak-
ened great popular commotion. The
general purIort of these theses was to deny
the pope the right TO forgive sins, and this
proposition Luther offered to maintain in the
university against all impugners. Thissudden
and bold movement awakened Widespread
excitement.
Tetzel was forced to retreat from the
borders of Saxony to Franllfort-on-the
Oder where he published counter set of
theses and publicly committed those of
Luther to the flames At first the pope,
Leo X. took little heed of the dis
turbance, hut it gradually assumed a
seriousness which he could not dis
regard Luther was summoned to
appear at Rome and answer for his theses.
His university, however, and the elector
of Saxony, who was his friend, interferred
anita legate was sent to Germany to hear
and determine the case A papal bull was
then isstiett against him This dread docu-
ment vas burned at the Elster gate of Wit
tenberg before an assembled multitude of
doctors, students and citizens. The diet of
WorlnS-one of the most famous councils in
history-met in 1921. An order was issued
for the destruction of Luther's writings, and
he himself was summoned to appear before
the diet. This was above all, what he de
sired-to confess the truth andargue hisclaims
before the assembled powers of Germany.
His appearance and demeanor before the
diet, and the frmness and logic with which
he held his ground and refused to retraeH arc
described with much eloquence in most histo-
ries of the time as presenting striking pic
turc In 1925 Luther married Katherine vor
Bora, one of nine nuns who, under his teach
ing, had emapcipated themselves from their
religious vOwS Luther's works are very

Arthur said to be a Candidate.

CHICAGO, Nov. l2.-The Tribune has the
following special from Washington City: A
member of the administration said: Chester
A. Arthur is candidate for presidential
nomination. | know it, and l do not know
that there is any necessity FOR keeping quiet
about it any longer, and think that before
long the party will have no doubt
that he is a candidate. The result of the
election in New York has perhaps, made it
proper that the candidacy should be aYowed.
l think that Gen. Arthur is the man to carry
New York, and that from present appear
ances he will convince the party leaders that
he is the man.
