ROOSEVELT ABSENT.


Congress Was Held.
MILWAUKEE,, Wis, Sept 30-Twen-
ty-six delegates to the National Prison
association assembled this morning in
the school board room in the city hall,
and after waiting half an hour for
further appearance, the meeting was
called to order. The programme of the
session consisted Of the reports of the
standing committees on the work of the
prison physician and on prison dis
cipline. The first was given by DIR.
III. d. Wey, of Elmira, N. Y. The re-
port was oral DR.. Bacon, of Philadel-
phia, who was to have prepared it,
finding it impossible to be present. The
other member Of the committee is Dr.
Beckwith, Of Ionia, Mich. DR.. Wey's
report was a practical one and was not
SO much about the curative duties Of
a prison physician as his preventative
functions.
Following DR.. Wey, r. B. Patton, Of
Huntington, Pa, gave the report of the
standing committee on prison diScip-
line. The members of the congress
were invited to take a trolley ride this
afternoon, but the offer was not ac-
copied. No afternoon session could be
held On account Of the absence of
Theodore Roosevelt, chairman of the
standing committee ON police force in
cities, who was to have occupied the
session with the committees report.
The report Of the committee on NOM
nations, named the following principal
officers, in addition to the usual list
OF honorary officials: President Roelift
Brinkerhoff, Mansfield. O.; vice presi-
dents, Charles E. FELTON,, Chicago;
Charlton IT. Lewis, Morristown, N r. !;
Secretary of State Brown. Sacramento.

NEW sTAMp cANcELLER.
st. Paul Postohice Adopts 1t at
Last.

When the clerks on the OUTGOING
mail trains last evening began dis
tributing the letters from the st. Paul
post office they noticed a new stamp
cancellation on the envelopes which
had never before been used by the local
office, though the incoming mail from
other large cities often bears the same
design The SexpIanation to the clerks
was easy of comprehension, as 1t
showed them that the st. Paul post Of
flee had finally adopted the latest stamp
cancelIing devise now in use in all
large postohices Throughout the coun-
try. n es
TWO OF the new machines were start
ed In operation yesterday for the first
time, and 1t is calculated that they will
save both carriers and postoffice clerks
a great deal of time when the operators
have become expert In their use. The
Barry stamp cancelling machine was
formerly in use in the local postoffice,
and while its work was rapid it often
allowed manys, letters to- slip through
without receiving the impression OF
the stamp in addition to requiring con-
siderable labor on the part of the car
riers in preparing the letters to be fed
to the machine. Only one letter is fed
to the new machine at time and in
this way all of the stamps are sure TO
be Cancelled and no time is lost by the
carriers VINO simply pile the outgoing
mail on O. table where 1t is assorted
by the operator. AT present the new
machines are not capable of running
OH as many letters as the old one, but
this is due to the inexperience of the
operator, and when he has once be-
come proficient in its operation, it is
expected to do about twice the work of
the Barry machine, which will in future
be used In backstamping the incom-
ing mail, a process heretofore accom-
plished by hand
Postmaster Castle Is highly pleased
with the Introduction Of the machines
and is of the opinion that they will
greatly increase the efficiency of the
local postal service

Can we afford to build for the future
upon that foundation? Is liberty Sc
cure that is guaranteed by such a
pledge? Is the project one that Ats.
or can be made consistent with, the
American spirit?
These are questions that are put to
the West in this campaign. Upon the
answer of these states will depend
larger issues than those that lie upon
the surface Even If there were not at
stake so much else, in the shape of
public order. national honor and public
credit, we should say that this cam
paign was one to appeal to the deep
est feelings and the hottest patriotic
motives of every citizen who under
stands that it is to decide whether we
revive the bitter and destructive spirit
of sectionalism in this republic or
crush it out forever

Sherrie Mathews and Harry Bulger, paro-

peared here in Rush City, are this sea-
son the stars Of a brand new comedy en-
titled AT Gay Coney Island which is un-
derlined for the Grand next week These
young men have established themselves as
laugh producers in all of the large cities.
and as the play was written with special re-
gard to their individual talents an entertain
ment OF much merit may be expected. AS
the Title would indicate, the new piece deals
with incidents OF visit to New York's ia

genuine comedy is limited The company il

A TEAPOT TEMPEST.

Various newspapers in the country
keep harping on the disturbance at
New Haven. where a body of Yale
students interrupted Mr.. Bryan so
persistently that he was obliged to
break off his speech, condemning or
excusing the act according to their
political attitude. The whole discus
sion breathes the air of ignorance Of
the subject matter itself. This comes
of unfamiliarity with the customs Of
college life, and the peculiar, and not
infrequently both absurd and ungen-
tlemanly performances of which col
lege boys are guilty. The plain fact,
as any college man ought to know, is
that the outbreak of the Yale boys
had scarcely more reference to Mr..
Bryan personally, or to his political
ambition, than to the king Of Ashantee
or the Russian prison system. What
they did with Mr.. Bryan they would
have done with anybody else IL they
had had the chance. They were simply
out on lark" and when college
boys go 1arking they are utterly in
discriminating as to the person on
whom they play their pranks. They
have been known to do precisely the
same thing year after year with other
public speakers unconnected with pol
itics, and many are the lecturers and
actors and ballet dancers who have
been guyed into tears and retirement
by the irrepressible college youth.
hensible, of course. 1t marks not only
the high spirits that belong naturally
to youth, but the absence Of consid-
Grafton for others and the lurking ele-
ment Of ruff1anism that have no bust
ness to go with youth or any age. It
seems to be an essential feature, thus
far. Of the American college system,
which, by receiving boys whose char
acters are not half matured, and by
attempting, foolishly, to substitute a
species Of college discipline for that of
home, prolongs boyishness into IN
cipient manhood and provokes the out
breaks against propriety which are
always the protest Of immaturity
against restraint.
This is what the New Haven cpl
sode means, and all that 1t means.
It has no more bearing on individuals
or politics than ''cane rush" or a
secret society initiation or a class
poem. Mr.. Bryan happened merely to
give the boys an opportunity to vent
their wild spirits, and anybody who
knew anything about college life could
have told him in advance exactly what
would happen. Nor is there the slight
est reason to doubt that, had 1t been
Mr.. Mckinley instead who presented
himself as q sacrifice, he would have
met with a precisely similar expert
ence. It is an offense against courtesy
and gentlemanliness, but 1t Is not pc
culiar to any one of the institutions
where some thousands of boisterous
young men are gathered together, and
1t is absolutely destitute Of political
significance.

COMPARATIVE WHEAT PRICES.

To the Editor of the Globe
A farmer would be pleased to have you
make clear to him where the difference Is
consumed between the price of wheat in Du-
luth, on Sept. %, 611s cents, and 5s 95zd in
Liverpool on the same day.
Please as far as you are able, itemize the
charges, and show. also. the profits made by
the shipper. Subscriber.

Subscriber" makes a very serious
blunder in his figures. A reference to
the market column of the Glob for
Wednesday, Sept. %, which gives the
quotations for the day previous, Sept.
~, shows that No. l northern wheat
was quoted in Duluth at 611a cents, as
he says, per bushel, and the average
price in Liverpool for No 1 California
was IS 91sd, not per bushel, but per
Genital. Now. the comparison, In the
first place, should be made between
the same grades of wheat. No. 1
northern is quoted in the same Liver
pool report at 5s 71sd per Genital. The
Genital is 100 pounds weight. The bushel
being go pounds Weights 71zd per cen
tai is equivalent, therefore, to a price of
about 40d per bushel, or, roughly
speaking, so cents in American money.
This leaves a difference of about Is
to 10 cents per bushel between the Du-
luth price and the Liverpool price. To
account for this difference, we give the
following official statement, made by

JOKE ON THE FINEST.
Local Policeman Buys a Stolen
Bicycle.

Detectives Morrisey and Courtney, Of
Minneapolis, came over to ST. Paul and
secured the bicycle stolen from Elmer
c. Knapp, by F. D. Wallis, who be-
came conscience stricken over the act
and gave himself up Tuesday night. 1t
is little wonder that he became con-
science stricken, as he sold the bicycle
to no one less than a policeman of the
central station. He was to have re-
ceived $38 for the wheel, had been given
S. and was to get the balance later.
When Wallis first showed up at the
police station with a bicycle for sale,
the detectives took him In hand and
questioned him very closely, as TO
where he had gotten it. He an
swered question SO well that he salts
fed everybody and finally worked the
wheel off on one Of the policemen.
