A Good Democrat.

In the consideration of successful
mayors in connection with the Demo-
cratic nomination for President. why
should the Hon. William c. Maybury.
mayor OF Detroit, be overlooked? Half
a dozen other Democratic mayors are
regarded as on the eligible list. but thus
far no one has suggested the advisa-
bility of adding Mr.. Maybury's name. He
has for several terms been chosen
mayor of the metropolis of Michigan,
and from unprecedented accounts has
filled the position satisfactorily. Be
sides, as a member of Congress he has
had experience in national affairs which
some of the other successful mayors
have not had.

Royal Baggage Lost.

Royal Baggage Lost.
One thing more in connection with
King Edwards recent visit to Italy. and
which I have not seen mentioned in the
! press, is the fact that an immense guam
tity of the royal baggage, and also a
number of letter bags belonging to the
King. were lost between Rome and Reg
gio-that is to say on the railroad in
the southern portion of Italy Nor have
they been recovered ap to the present
moment. in spite of all the efforts OF
the Italian railroad authorities and of
the Italian and English police.
The baggage in question had been sent
out from England in charge of courier
to meet the King at Malta, and a gunboat
had been dispatched from thence to Reg
gio-that is to say, to the railroad termi-
nus at the southernmost portion of the
Italian peninsula-to convey the things
to Malta When, however. the train
reached its destination the courier, the
British consul and the railroad authori-
ties were Mortified to discover that not
only all the baggage but likewise also
IHS lSltSA Dd5S ncd OlSdppedlc
ter twenty-four hours had been spent in
frantic efforts on the part OF the Of
ficials in question to ascertain what had
become of the missing things, without
any success, the gunboat left for Malta
with the consul on board in order to ex-
plain what had happened, the courier
remaining behind with the object of pur-
suing the search.
The latter has remained without avail,
and if | mention the matter, 1t is because
so many Americans tourists have been
robbed of their baggage in much the
same manner when travelling in Italy,
that they may possibly derive some con-
ISOLATION from learning that not even
crowned monarchs are safe from the
depredations of Italian railroad bandits.

Manila, Aug. 14.-It is believed that Gov
ernor Taft has not as yet received a def
mite prefer Of the war portfolio, to sue
coed Mr.. Root. He refuses to be inter-
viewed on the subject, but it is known that
he does not desire to leave the islands.
His departure would involve strong
personal sacrifice, as he would have to
abandon his unselfsh devotion to the task
pinos
He has stated often that he hopes for
an opportunity to complete the problem
and see the result Of his work The situa-
ton, he thinks, is just reaching a condition
where results are visible.
The governor feels that his administra-
ton In the past was attended with much
misfortune. The insurrection had scarcely
ended before the bubonic plague, cholera
and famine ensued, attended by labor agi-
tations. However, he is always prepared
to obey the wishes Of President Roosevelt
and as he understands the Philippines
thoroly he would in the opinion Of many
persons here, make a most valuable sec
rotary Of war
Governor Taft hopes that in any event
he may remain here until spring, return
ing to the United States with the Filipinos
who are going to the st. Louis EXPOSE
ton. It is believed that his family and
his friends at home are exerting strong in
fluence to procure his return. He has
completed forty months Of the hardest
kind Of tropical service and is subject to
a possible recurrence Of the dysentery,
which afflicted him some time ago.
The Filipino press is begging Governor
Taft to remain. It Is believed here that
he will not consider proposition that he
be nominated for the vice presidency.

Dixon, ILL.,, Aug. 14-Judge Peter 8. Cross
cup, fthe United States circuit court, in an
address here before the Lutheran assembly,
expressed his belief that In the supervision OF
monopolies by the government lies the only
hope for the perpetuation of the American ma
ton, and sounded warning against the
manipulation Of securities in the interest Of
INSCRIPTIONS promoters and spectators.
In the fact that within the last ten years the
deposits In savings banks have increased from
g. 000,0 900 to $40, 100000 sinister rather than
declaring that under normal conditions this
vast amount would have been invested by the
laboring classes, but that it was lying idle
because ''poltte swindlers and high-up ras-
Gals" were able to subvert the laws and give
to stocks value they do not really possess -
eve can never go back to the days of our
boyhood, said the speaker, "but we can go
back to the days when the man with 500
did not have to hoard it or entrust it to his
into Industries, sure that it would return
with earnings.
What should be done? Change the laws
! SO that no set Of men can organize corpora
ton except on strict legal basis. Then put
that corporation under such supervision az
the national banks are subject to and I be-
lieve that little by little, this immense hoard
ing in the savings banks of s10,000OO0, will
be trickling into ownership again.
II say nothing against the man who makes
his fortune honestly said the Judge, "but
to enable men to consolidate money for the
public good, turn into an excuse for swindles
that should land the promoters in the peni-
tertiary, and when see that to be the almost
universal history Of corporations, every drop
of my blood boils with hate and revenge"
