Extraordinary Extremes.
Philadelphia Record.


1t required many days Of rain to raise
the great flood which has wrought such
destruction down the Kansas, Missouri and
Des Moines rivers, and which. still on its
way to the sea, is overfowing town and
country southwark from where the Mis-
souri, joins the Mississippi. But less than
one night of rain caused the flood that has
destroyed, in and around Spartanburg, 8.
c.. about as many lives and nearly as
much property as did the Kansas or Kaw
river flood at Topeka. More destructive
of life than either flood was the tornado
which leveled a part of Gainesville, Ga.
last week in shorter time than it takes 10
tell. 1t has already proved a year marked
by extraordinary extremes In the manifes-
tations of atmospheric forces The north
eastern states, with their drouth now pass
ing beyond all recorded precedent for this
season of the year, are not worse afflicted
than some other parts Of the country are
in other ways.

Lawyers for the Northern Securities
company deny the jurisdiction of Mime
sofa over its operations on the ground
that it is an interstate corporation sub
ject to federal control, If to any control
at all. When they get into the federal
courts these same lawyers will probably
contend that there is no federal jurisdic-
ton because federal control would be an
invasion of states rights. 1t is a cold
day when the corporation lawyer does
not catch them coming and going.

He was 50 years old.
Henry watterson called his trip to New
York the other day purely literary mis-
sion." Henry has more to do with fire.
works than literature.
Alexander Williamson, one of the three
persons who were present at the deathbed

Brooklyn last Wednesday
Corpulent persons in Sweden are to be
taxed for excessive weight because they
eat too much. And the collectors. tust as
they do in this country, will live on the
fat OF the land.
Hall Caine locates the scene Of the brav-
est deed with which he is acquainted at the
vatican. "The hero of the incident in
question:" he writes. was that venerable
nonogenarian, Pope Leo XIII, who. on the
occasion OF our first interview, actually
confessed that he had never read one OF my
books"
It is stated that when Lord Roberts
comes to America in August 1t will be in
his official capacity. King Edward has ex-
pressed a wish that his trip shall be re-
garded as an ofiicial one in return for the
recent visits OF distinguished American mill
tary officers to Great Britain.

CUTTING oUT PoLITICs

1t is said to be the determination of
President Roosevelt and the postmaster
general that hereafter the Postoffice de-
partment is to be run independent Of
politics. A Washington dispatch to an
eastern paper says that the future pol
Icy will be to abandon the policy of
notifying congressman of prospective
changes in their postoffices. The de-
partment will go right ahead and ar
range it's own affairs to suit the judg-
ment of the responsible officials. All
necessary information will promptly be
furnished senators and representatives
when requested, but an effort will be
made to eliminate the postal service as
factor in local politics throughout the
country.
This proposition is stated to have orig
mated with Postmaster General Payne
and to have received the hearty ap-
proval of the president Doubtless
such a change from the method that
has been pursued would be found bene-
fetal, II 1t be practicable, but 1t is safe
to say that 1t would encounter a very
strong opposition from congressman
generally, with whom sthe naming of
postmasters is a prerogative that most
OF them will be very unwilling to sur
render. There is of course no valid rea-
son why the department cannot select
these officials without the intervention
of senators and representatives or that
If this were done the selections would
not be quite as satisfactory as under
the present method, but the course that
is pursued has prevailed so long that the
proposed departure, assuming the report
to be we'll founded, win not be readily

The most important news from the Post
once department in many day is not any
development of the pending investigation,
but the judicial decision Just rendered
completely sustaining the department In
its movement for the reform Of the
colossal abuses I'm second-class mail matter,
The news is most succinctly told in the
following personal dispatch from high
oficer to the editor Of tho Press:
WASHINGTON. June 5.-The court OF
appeals Cof the District OF Columbia)
handed down decision today in Riverside
Literature Series and Master in Music
cases. Lower court reversed in both cases.
Department wins at all points. Decision
IL sweeping, and assures ultimate success
of the reform. Department hands now
completely united. The court Is unanimous,
and It is q great victory"
1t is indeed. great victory for vital
public reform and for a regenerated and
self-sustaining postal service. The mon
strous abuses which have flooded the mails
with books advertising circulars, house
organs, and so forth, under the pretext
of being periodicals, at the pound rate have
gone on for years, growing month by
month. Two years ago the orders were
issued which turned the face of the de-
partment in the opposite direction and
resolutely set out to stop tho wrongs. For
time the reform moved steadily and
surely forward but some OF the cases were
taken into court and decision pronounced
against the government
This inconsiderate judgment practically
paralyzed the department for the time
being, so far as the prosecution of the re-
form was concerned. But the department
appealed; It called the giant. John @. John
son OF this city, into the case; and now 1t
is vindicated in a decision OF the higher
court which completely sustains the posi-
tion Of the department and re-enforces
its purpose. The reform will be taken up
afresh and carried on with renewed vigor.
The development of wrongdoing in the
department 80 far as disclosures up to
the present time Indicate lamentable as it
is involves loss measured by thousands.
This reform involves a saving measured by
millions. There is bright side as we'll
as a dark side.
We cordially congratulate Postmaster
General Payne and Third Assistant Post
master General Madden, who have stood
to their guns so manfully, and we espe-
cially congratulate the American people
who want the most efficient and progress
sive postal service possible.

fogging the political atmosphere in
which 1t is enveloped. There is really
no more reason why the vote on gov
ernor should be the basis of delegate
apportionment TO conventions than the
vote on congressman, on treasurer, on
school superintendent or on university
regent. As a matter of fact, with the
exception of Hayward in 1898, the re-
publican vote on governor has not been
the basis adopted In Nebraska for ten
years past. After each presidential
election the vote on president is usually
accepted and it has so happened in
this state that on several occasions
besides the last, the vote on governor
has not reflected the relative party
strength Of different sections of the
state and has therefore been discarded
in favor of some candidate more rep
resentative.
What every political party should
aim at in it's conventions is to accord
its members a proportionate voice ir-
respective of the particular county or
subdivision in which they happen to
reside. If abnormal conditions have
entered into the vote for governor
the vote for some other officer should
be taken, or perhaps, the average vote
cast for all the candidates on the ticket
To give a county extra representation
because the particular candidate hap
pened to live there and to receive per-
sonal vote from the opposition is just
as unfair as to cut down the vote of
the home county of the opposing can
didate, where the latter would natur-
ally run ahead. The party policy above
all things should be directed toward
building up by attracting new recruits
and not toward tearing down by driv-
ing away support just to punish some
county in which for local reasons a par
ticular candidate for governor happened
to be unpopular.
