Automatic Convention.


The Republican convention at
Chicago last week was an automa-

Republican party seems to have

There was but little interest in the
proceedings for the program was
cut and dried and nothing re-
manned to be done but TO listen to
few set speeches. to vote on a
platform already prepared by Sena-

proved by the President. and then
to complete the perfunctory per-
formance by naming Roosevelt and
Fairbanks-a ticket fully Bgreed
upon before delegate had reach-

could hardly be expected. The
job could have been done as we'll

RA1IRoAD1NG UP TO DATE.
Wireless Telegraphy to supplant
the Present Methods of Com
munication Between
Stations.


Wireless telegraphy promises to
supplant the present methods of
communication on at least one
railroad. Officers of the Chicago,
Rock Island & Pacific road in
Texas are now experimenting with
wireless telegraphy as means of
communication between moving
trains and divisional headquarters
A number of freight cabooses have
been equipped with the wireless
instruments, and the experiments
50 far conducted are satisfactory.
Wireless telegraphy may prove of
much value to the railway CON-
panies. as it will allow instant COM
munication between trains on any
part of the rosd and the Offices of
the company: Accidents occurring
between stations. where telegraph
offices are out of reach, may be
communicated readily by the new
method.
For years the railroad companies
of the country have been anxious
to improve upon the old form of
telegraphic communication. The
telephone has come into quite
general use in this way.
The liability of misunderstand-
ing telegraph messages on railroads
is the cause of the attempts of the
managers to get a system that will
allow officers and employees to CON-
munioate more directly and more
quickly with one another.

THE CASE OF MR.. eA1rRzE.
Government Wouldn't Stand for a
Man Who Won't Tell the
Trnfh


The case of William B Gaitree,
rural free delivery superintendent.
who has been fired from the gov
eminent service on various char
ges of more or less gravity. should
appeal to every ambitions young
man, inasmuoh as it teaches a
lesson in which veracity and hon.
esty play an important part.
Gaitree was a protege in small
way of the late President McKin-
ley because he made himself use-
full to the latter. He served as q
clerk in McKinley's office while
the latter was governor of Ohio,
and when he was elected to the
presidency Gaitree was rewarded
for his faithfulness to the governor
with the position which he was
forced to vacate by Bristow.
The postoffice department felt
that Gaifree was neither qualified
for his task nor had the moral
standard required for such a po-
sition, but in deferencs to the
memory Ct Mckinley, who had
placed Gaitree to the front, the
authorities withheld charges.
An investigation showed that
he borrowed money from subordi-
mates which he did not pay back,
and when confronted with the al
legation he replied: II have never
borrowed money from and am not
now indebted to any special agent.
route inspector or clerk under my
jurisdiction"
1t was proven that he did owe
w. E. Ella, special agent under
his jurisdiction, and it was shown
further that the next day after
making the afidavits he wrote Ella
as follows:
"Fosness was here yesterday and
had me on the carpet for about
three hours. Among other ques.
tions he asked me if 1 had any
money matters between myself and
any of the boys. 1 told him no
He may call on you. Destroy this
letter by burning
Thus this appointee of MoKin-
ley, this young man who had a
chance to climb to the top, ruined
his opportunities by telling a lie
and getting caught.
Honesty is the best policy"

this sort. The intention to stand
by the trusts is absolutely clear.
There will be no revision by the
