Democratic National Conventions

The first political national eonyen-
ton of any kind ever held was in
1882. 1t had been called by the friends
of Henry Clay as early as 1881, but it
did not meet until 1882, when Clay
was nominated for president, with
John Sergeant for vice president.
The first Democratic national con-
veItion was held in Baltimore, May 12,
1882. and nominated Jackson for pres
tdcnt and Van Buren for vice presi-

Retreating Russians.

The two great armies of Russia and
Japan were on the eve of great
battle, war experts thought. The Japs
had penetrated into the interior and
advanced upon a strongly entrenched
position occupied by the principal
army Of the czar of all the Russians
The result of this conflict was expect
ed to be decisive. While the Japs
were struggling through the country,
climbing hills, crossing streams and
getting their artillery and supplies for
ward with great difficulty, the Rsu,
SLAMS had ample time to pick out
points of vantage sad fortify them.
Apparently they had all the best of the
situation and are said to have out
numbered their foes.
However, those that expected a
struggle are doomed to disappoint-
ment, If the latest reports are true.
The Russians are said to have left
their strongholds and are retreating,
fearing to risk an encounter with the
willy little brown men who have been
whipping them with such great regu-
larity. II this is true, Russia has lost
heart and is already whipped. It
looks as though the fall Of Port Ar
thur, which is sure to come, will prac-
ttcally end the war.

President Roosevelt a Hoodoo.

If Theodore Roosevelt succeeds in
being elected next November by his
Il low countrymen to the presidency
e will have overcome the most for
midabe hoodoos which ever beset the
path of a presidential candidate. They
are as follows:
Hoodoo No. He was nominated
by the thirteenth National Republican
convention
Hoodoo No. 2.-He was nominated
at thirteen minutes after 1 o'clock and
that hour is the thirteenth of the day.
Hoodoo No. 3.-The names of Theo-
doIe Roosevelt and Charles W. Fair
banks each contain seventeen letters;
he seventeenth president of the I'm
tied States was Andrew Johnson who
was the worst hoodooed president in
his time and failed of reelection.
Hoodoo No. A continuation OF
Eoodoo No. 3. Andrew Johnson"
contains thirteen letters; the thir-
teen president was Millard Fillmore
snother accidental president, who was
hoodoed out of an election by the peo-
pie.
Hoodoo No. 5.-The name of Theo-
core Roosevelt does not contain the
letter "a" The only other president
whose name was minus the letter "a"
was John Tyler, who was an accidental
president and failed to succeed him
self.
Hoodoo No 6.--Roosevelt is an acci-
dental president and no accidental
president has ever been elected by the
people.
HooGoo No. Roosevelt cannot
carry New York this year and since
tic foundation of the Republic, no
man has ever yet been elected who did
not get the electoral vote of his own
state While men have carried their
own states and lost the presidency,
still, you cannot find single instance
V here a man carried the presidency If
he lost his own state.
Hoodoo No. S.--The most significant
and dangerous one of all. Roosevelt
is an eastern man, and no man. not a
Democrat, who lived east of the Allie
ghenies was ever elected president of
tie United States. John Quincy Ad-
ans, Federalist of Massachusetts,,
was badly beaten by Jackson in 1928
William Henry Harrison and Zachary
Taylor elected in 1910 and 1S48 were
kboth western men, The next eastern
man nominated after John Quincy Ad-
ans was Winfield Scott, Whig, of
New Jersey. AS against Franklin
Pierce, Scott's electoral votes could al
most be numbered on the fingers Of
beth hands. Lincoln and Grant, both
l"iSc tlcNlSuy WNiO iiOih thS WSoN'
Hayes, who was elected by the elector-
al commission, was from Ohio. So was
Garfield. James G. Blaine, Repub-
lican, was the first eastern man nomi-
mated after Scott and he was defeated
by Grover Cleveland just twenty years
ogo Since that time the Republicans
have never risked nominating an east
en- man until now, Benjamin Harri-
son and William Mckinley both. being
western men.
These hoodoos will give Roosevelt's
strenuosity chance for grand dis
play of how to vanquish the supersti-
ticn which doth hedge around q
King and it will also give him a cold.

SHIPPERS FIGHT RAILROADS.

THE AMERICAN SHIPPERS asso-
citation has been formed TO resist
and to prevent, If possible, the use by
the railroads Of a new form Of bill Of
lading which practically adds 20 per
cent to all freight rates. The bill of
lading does not, Of course, increase the
rate directly by 20 per cent. or by any
per cent It merely provides that ship
pers must release the carriers from all
responsibility for lost or damaged
goods unless the carriers pay an extra
20 per cent in freight by way of insur-
ance.
It is quite apparent that shippers
cannot afford to sign an absolute re-
lease Of the carriers. To do that would
be to assume a risk that should not be
placed upon them. The only alteTna-
tive, if the new bill of lading is insist
ed upon, is TO pay the extra 20 per cent.
This means that 1t viii cost one-fifth
more to get goods into a given terri
tory. 1t means, further, that in the
end the consumer VIII be required TO
foot the bills. if the railroad companies
treat all shippers alike.
the railroad side. Figures are pre-
scented by one road, and they may be
regarded as representative of other
lines, to show that claims for losses by
shippers have increased out of all pro-
portion to the increase in business.
Many OF these claims. it is asserted,
are fraudulent. UnpFincipled shippers
frequently compel the companies to
pay them damages for which the com
panies should not be held liable. The
business of handling railway freights
has been reduced TO a science in these
times, and it is claimed that 50 many
damage claims would impossible If all
shippers were conscientious. Therefore
the 20 per cent bill of lading-
In other words, the railroads propose
to make the honest shippers pay for
the rascaIs. The plan seems a decided
y unfair one. The average railroad is
not a puny, feeble. helpless corporation.
AS a usual thing it has ample financial
backing and the best legal talent money
can procure. Railroads are notorious
" hard fighters. They find many ways
of discourasing lawsuits against them
selves. Nobody that is honest wants
them to be victimized, and against the
dishonest they should be able to pro-
tect themselves. This, too. without
wringiug a defense fund from men
without whose patronage they could
not continue in business.

IrALlAH RAlLwAYs.

IT Is ENTIRELY PROBABLE that
next year the Italian government
viii take over once more the operation
of its railways. Government operation
of railways in Italy has not been an
unqualified success. as previous expert
ments have demonstrated, but the i'm
portant commercial bodies, having OBJ
served the workings Of both systems,
are convinced that government opera
ton. though bad, is a shade better than
private management. More than half
Of the 1900 miles Of railroads in Italy
are owned outright by the government
and leased TO private corporations.
These leases expire next year.
Italy has tried various plans with her
railroads. From the time of the first
railroad Riding in the country up 10
forty years ago the lines were all built
by the government or by the aid Of
government concessions. Operation, in
every case, however, was by the gov
eminent. Then the roads were con-
dueted on a leasing basis, 50 per cent
of the gross receipts being turned over
to the government. In 1865, having be-
come weary of direct ownership, the
government sold all of its roads out
right. Three years later they were re-
purchased and leased to private cor
porations for ten years.
At the end of that period the govern
ment once more took. over the operation
and continued it with varying success
for seven years Then they were again
given into the hands Of private parties.
For nineteen years this last rule has
been in force. Now the protest against
private management has assumed huge
proportions. Boards. of trade, chambers
Of commerce and other organizations
have petitiOned for the restoration Of
government management and, as has
been stated, It is quite likely that the
change viii be made. A parliamentary
investigation into the subject is now
being made. Arguments on both sides
are being heard and a definite decision
is expected within the next few months.
Whether the government, with new
methods of railroad management, bet
ter EOlling stock and facilities, VIII be
able to make a success now where fail
ures have been recorded before, re-
mains TO be seen. Other European
countries have operated railways sue
cessfully. There seems to be little rea-
son why Italy should not do as well
as the rest

THe GREATEST AUTO RuN
DERHAPs NINE ADULT American

l1ERHAPS- NINE ADULT Americans
out of ten either own an automo-
bile or expect 10 own one some day
Therefore the interest in the great run
that has been started from New York
ana Boston to St. Louis will be keen
and widespread. This is without doubt
the most important automobile event
that has ever been attempted in the
United States Something ike 500 auto
mobiles recruited in New York, Bos-
ton. Buffalo, Cleveland, Toledo, Eetroit
and Chicago viii start or have 2ifeady
started Nothing approximating this
number have ever been seen in a single
parade.
It must not be understood that the
automobiles are being raced across the
country. They are not. Instead, their
occupants are merely touring. When
it is stated that the longest days run.
from Cleveland to Toledo, where the
roads are said to be exceptionally fine,
is only I13 miles. It becomes apparent
that the run is really and truly but a
1aunt. Given first-class roads an ordi-
nary automobile should be good for at
least eighteen miles an hour with per-
feet safety. At this rate 1t viii be seen
that the longest days run ought TO be
covered in a little more than six hours.
But all OF the roads are not good, by
any means. Along some Of them the
mud win be up to the hubs, and 1t is
there that the real tests of the ma
chimes win be made The percentage
Of skeptics in regard TO the permanent
cy and value Of automobiles is still very
large. And ii is not confined entirely to
those who do net own machines. The
proportion of automobiles that finish
the present run TO the number that
started win be considered by many OBJ
servers as evidence Of the reliability or
unreEabiIity Of automobiles generally.
But no matter what the results Of the
BOston-New York-St. Louis run may
be, the question win not be settled in
the minds of some people.
For our own part. we believe the aus
tomobile is a fixture. That il is absO-
lutely dependable as constructed today
cannot be said with truth. After all,
though. it is as dependable as the or
binary horse-drawn vehicle. For horses
run away, the best wagons and buggies
ana carriages break down. the best har-
ness falls inexpIicably to pieces. When
we remember the short period that has
elapsed since the first clumsy. untraCta-
bic, utterly unreliable automobile was
turned out and compare the original
machine with the trim elegant ones Of
today, we cannot fail to marvel at the
wonderful progress that has been made.
The day is not as far distant as some
observers think when automobiles win
be far more common than hOrse-dTawn
vehicles, when they viii be within the
reach of all-Who can now afford a horse
and buggy.
