Mayor Vance of Selma, N. G., has
devised an original plan for making
tramps fight shy Of the town. The
railroad runs straight through the
place and along the track is a street
half mile long. Tramps upon ar
rests are allowed by the mayor fol
contest for freedom, the last man Of
the contest to go to "the road" fol
thirty days. Then the tramps are
lined up at the town hall, while a
policeman is at the boundary, half
a mile away. The tramps run with
all their might and the winners are
seen no more, while the watchin g
policeman captures the last man,
who is sent to "the roads" Germany
it is said has solved the tramp pro
blem and it is announced that she is
reasonably free from Migrants and
that such as are sinking about the
byways are relatively harmless lot,
who seldom commit robberies and
assaults of magnitude. And the way
she has settled the difficulty is this:
She arrests all tramps and puts them
at work and makes the work so much
harder than the work of decent men
that after trial Of it the tramps re-
form and quit the road.

"Our army deserves great credit for
having driven the Russians from this
stronghold: it was Il feat previously
considered to have been impossible. I
fear our losses have beon- heavy, but
we have gained the strongest point
barring our way to the Investment of
Port Arthur"
The following report has been re-
ceived from Vice Admiral Togo: '.The
gunboats Thukishi, Heiyen, Amagi and
Chokais and the first torpedo boat
fiotilla, under Captain Nishiyama,
reached Kin-Chow bay on the evening
Of Wednesday,. From dawn of Thurs
day the vessels co-operated with the
army in bombarding Suchaton.
'"rhe Amngi and the Chokai went
in close and bombarded all day. At
IL o'clock in the morning the enemy
retreated from Suchaton. but they con-
tinued to fire from n position behind
Suchaton. Our casualties were ten,
including Captain Hayashi, of the Cho-
kai, who was killed."
The Japanese troops are now with
in twelve miles of Port Arthur, and 1t
is reported now that the Russians suf-
fered heavier casualties than the jap
anese, who have taken many guns and
other material and few prisoners.

No Appeal from the Action of Politi-
cal Convention.

There is no appeal from the action
Of political convention whether it
be county, state or national. Such
bodies assemble, remain in session
usually not more than day OF
two, do certain things and then
cease to exist. When like condi-
tons recur, a subsequent conven-
ton has the right to take such
action as may at that time seem
advisable, even though it be
the opposite Of what was done under
the same conditions, by the same
party at a previous convention.
Such procedure, however, is not
a review Or reversal Of the work Of
the previous convention, but is an
Independent ruling or decision,
which like the action Of the previous
convention is Of binding force and
effect until like conditions again re.
cur and call for determination by
still another convention. Any Other
procedure than this would cause
confusion and chaos.
We say this much because, in
some of the newspaper reports Of the
recent meeting Of the democratic
state committee, the idea is advanced
that the Craftsmanship dispute will
be settled at the next democratic
state convention at Iowa City. This
next state convention has no authori-
ty whatever to deal with the chair
manship matter. A state committee
chairman has already been elected
for this year by "a democratic state
convention, and conditions can not
again recur which will give state
convention the right to act until
next year when the present chair
mans term expires.
AS we have already shown there
can be no proper appeal I from the
Des MONIES convention to the Iowa
City convention in this Craftsmanship
matter, and if any such attempt is
made it will not be made by anyone
desiring the election Of democratic
candidates in Iowa next fall.

Distinguished in Three wars-His Career
In Politics Sketcl,ed.
Senator Matthew Stanley Quay, VIII,
maintained his leadership in Pennsyl-
vania politics for thirty years, is
descended from good old fighting stock.
Three generations ago his ancestors
came as immigrants from the Isle of
Man. They fought Indians in the
primcval forests, and distinguished
themselves in the war of the revolu-
tion.
Senator Quay was born at Dillsburg,
Pa, in 1888, his father being Rev. An
drew Quay. a Presbyterian clergyman.
At the age of IL the son was grad
uated from Jefferson college and began
the study of law with Penney & Ster-
rett, in Pittsburg. He wearied Of
study, and toured the country with n
magic lantern show. He returned to
his fathers home in Beaver, Pa. He
was admitted to the bar in 1854, hav-
ing just attained his majority.
Governor Pollock appointed him
prothonotary of Beaver county, which
was Quay's initiation into politics. In
1861 the war broke out, and young
Quay, as first liteuteant in the Elev-
enth Pennsylvania reserves, marched
to the front. He was made colonel
of the One Hundred and Thirty-fourth
Pennsylvania. While under fire In the
battle of Fredericksburg he carried in
his haversack $4,000 which his SOL
diers had intrusted to him to take to
their homes. For his bravery Mt this
battle he was given medal of honor.
After serving rs military secretary
to Governor Curtin, the famous war
governor" of Pennsylvania, Quay was
elected to the legislature of his state
in 1864. Under Governor Hartranft
Senator Quay twice received the Of
flee of secretary of the commonwealth.
In 1855 lie was elected state treasurer
and two years later he was made SEN
ator. His last notable fight in the
senate was in tleeffort to secure state
hood for Oklahoma, Arizona, New
Mexico and Indian territories. In this
lie was defeated by Senator Huniia,
aided by Senator Eeveridge.
There WAS hardly political crime
that WAS not charged against Quay.
He WAS accused of trcachery to his
friends. getting rich too fast while in
office, which latter charge was n d.

ment Of the Kennedy Buggy Com
pany building for that purpose.

gin the manufacture of cement fence

in every part of the United States
and there are number of factories
putting out the article. Though
none are now in use in Delaware
