To the Editor Of the Press:
A long time ago In the history Of the
world the people then living got a little
m liked on the suh.ect OF time. Then an
old time Hero stood up and declared that
his matter OF time needed regulating,
consequently he started right In on time.
Having no certain know ledge of where
time began or when 1t would end land
probably the Idea occurred to him that
some "little felle-s'' along about this
time of year might get CONFUSED" and
In order that they shou ldn't get LOST he
denided to run the time business in circles,
hence watches and CLOCKS. So star ting

Saviour, he said 81 circle hours shall he

10 begins to look as II Mr.. Brysn's trip
east WAS going TO do his Presiden tial as
pirations more harm than good by en-
phasizing the dissensions existing In the
Democracy, and making 10 apparent that
he cannot get the full vots Of the party II
he gets the nomination. The Mary land
Gormanitss have displayed great chilli
mess toward him and now part of the
Democratic Club Of New York city pro-
tssts against his being trestsd as the OH
DIAL guest of the club. They have no
objection to his being accorded q dinner
at tia club by members Ia their individ-
ual capacity, but they insist that no re-
certion shall be given him which shall
convey the impression that the club ~ q
whole endorses his political principles
The effect of this is II show that the gold
Democrats stand just where they did In
1895. that they are no more tol srant of

then. and that II he Is nominated on the

what a change Of attitude there has been
on the part of our statesmen toward
the mother country. 1t was but few
years ago that the Statesman who did
not occasionally twist the British lions
tail WAS the rare exception. 1t was then
the fashion to regard Great Britain as
hostile to us, and TO see In her every act
some unkindness to the country.
Now all this Is changed and the whilom
tail twisters are the most concerned lest
We do something or say something to
hurt British feelings. The change Is a
good one II 1t be not carried to extremes.
There never was any sense or reason In
our tail-twisting performances. Most of
them were pure demagogism. On the other
hand there IL such Q thing as going too

Rich Haul.

Detroit, Mich, Dec 28.-A mail pouch
containing 100000 in negotiable paper
and an unknown amount Of money, was
stolen from the Michigan Central pas
senger station at Wyandotte some time
last night.
The last mail arrived at 1923 on the
Michigan Central and the pouches were
put under seat in the waiting room. 1t
is not known at what time the robbery
was committed.
Today when Mail Carrier John Nc
Cleary came to the station for the mail
sacks he missed one. Aboat the same
time George Bessy, driver OF an oil
wagon, reported at the station that a
pouch, ripped open and empty was be-
hind an oil tank short distance from
the station.
Postmaster johnson Of Wyandotte was
at once notified and went to the scene.
The trail of the thief was marked by
letters, checks and drafts that were scat
tered along the track.
Most OF the mail was for the j. B.
Ford Alkali works company, and force
Of clerks were sent out to collect the let
ters strewn along the track.
The reason for this activity on the part
Of the Ford company was that j. B.
Ford, Jr., said he expected draft today
from New York for $4,000. The draft
did not come and it is believed that the
robber or robbers took it with other val
liable papers.

Grand Army Orders.

Lansing, Mich, April 25.-The state
supreme court yesterday afternoon, in
a suit brought against the Wabash
railway by State Railroad Commits
sioner Osborn, decided that carrying
of baggage, express and mail is legal
ly part Of the earning power Of pas
senger trains, and that on the COM
pany's reports Of earnings made to the
commissioner for the year 1898 it must
reduce it's passenger fares from three
cents to two and one-half cents per
mile in Michigan. While the passen
ger earnings Of the road were only
$141, 1922, the earnings of the express
and mail cars and from other sources
brought the total up to $164,O72.
Company's Contention in the Case.
This requires the carrying of passen-
gers at the 2&-cent rate under the slid
ing scale law passed by the legislature
Of 1891, which provides that the COM
pensatiOn for transporting passengers
Of railroads the earnings Of whose pas
senger trains were over 81 900 and less
than $4,000 per mile, should be 2h
cents per mile. The company contend
ed that the law covered passenger
fares alone, and that the statute was
void, being a state regulation of inter-
state commerce.
