The Baltimore and Ohio is the Oldest
steam railroad In this country. The first
stone of It's road-bed was laid In Baltimore
on the Fourth of July. ISIS. with elaborate
ceremony. over it's original length of
hlne miles mules dragged its cars. Then
Peter Cooper, manufacturer of New
YORK, took to Baltimore n steam engine
curious concern, something like boiler
with stove pipe in 1t. And Cooper's en-
CINE broke down and the horse express
beat 1t. Then came the grasshopper en-
gines that were exhibited at the Worlds
Fair--the embryonic germs of the tremen-
dous lomocotives of today. So, historical

weigh upon him at this time.

question enterprise of every kind has
been retarded. while business, az rule,

lief to have rest from politics, at least
for awhile. and the opportunity for
putting our shoulders TO the wheel

every patriotic citizen to lay aside the
lingering spirit Of bitterness which may
still possess him and enter upon the

GREAT FRAUDS IN Ky.
Alleged by the Democratic Com nit

rnant.

Louisville, KY, Nov. 12-Secretary
Richards of the Democratic campaign
committee today gave to the Associated
Press the following statement:
The Republicans Of Kentucky claim
the state for the Republican electors by
about 500 votes on the face returns This
result has been accomplished BY the
perpetratiOn of the most gigantic fraud
in the history of politics
If a proper contest can be made by
the committee, the state can be secured
to Bryan and Democracy. To make
this contest it is necessary for this com
nittee to raise a. fund to be expended
in the employment of counsel. the tax
ing of proof and the general expenses Of
the contest This committee is now
without funds, in the fact the campaign
in this state was made practically with
out money and the only means at its
command to raise funds is by popular
subscription. In view Of these facts,
this committee now appeals to all Dem
ocrats interested in saving the state to
Bryan and Democracy to send at once
to the undersigned.

ARBITRATION MAY LEAD TO
FREEDOM.

The arrangement for the settlement
of the Venezuelan question by arbitra-
ton marks an epoch in the worlds his
tory, but it is only a beginning after all.
Much more must be accomplished along
this line before it viii result in the dis
banding of the immense standing arm
les Of the world which are 50 heavy
burden on the taxpayers.
If the time ever comes when standing
armies being no longer considered nee
essary shall be disbanded, then what?
Who can foresee the result Of setting
adrift millions of unemployed men to-
swell the ranks of the producers or be
come traups as many such do in this
eountry2 May not universal arbitration
lead to the universal republic?
1t is the belief Of many eminent polit-
zeal economists that revolution and the
overthrow of European monarchies is
only prevented by the standing armies
which not only overawe the people but
also afford a place for the surplus male
population which would otherwise be-
come an army of idle and disconnected
men instead of an army of soldiers
The possible effect of this effort of the
United States in the direction Of inter
national arbitration cannot be meas
ured, therefore. by its effects as a pro
moter of peace alone It bids fair to be
much more importance in its sonse-
quences and to accomplish what has
hitherto seemed imposible-the freedom
OF mankind.
The most important events in the
worlds history have sometimes been
brought about in the most unexpected
manner.

There is food for thought in the sug-
gestion offered by Mrs. Annie L. Dfggs
at the suffrage convention this week to
the effect that the women of the United
States are already enfranchised. III
they wish to vote they can move to
Colorado. Utah or Wyoming. This coun-
try has been settled largely by people
in search of political freedom There
would probably be no surer or quicker
way of securing the right of suffrage
in all the states than by an exodus to
the states which have conferred the
right to vote upon all their citizens. If
the next census should show marked
increase in population in the states
named, over that in other states SINH
larry situated except as regards the
franchise it would be a pointer which
the older and slower states could hardly
afford to ignore. Many people have
come to Kansas because Of its freedom
from saloons; may not many go to Col
oradO, wyoming and Utah because of
the justice accorded TO women2
