 There will be no Russo-German alli- ance. The sympathy of the German socialists is with Japan, and the so- cialists constitute a majority of Ger many They have no intention of fight ing for Russia and against Japan. Be sides, Germany cannot aid Russia. England would be compelled by treaty to take care of the German fleet, and Russia has more men than she can send to the front and feed. Germany can help Russia in only one way-she can subscribe for her numerous war loans. In no other way can she help Russia. The situation has changed since Russia, Germany and France bullied Japan. No one can bully Ja- pan now, backed as she took good care to be by the British navy.

From the Louisville Courier-Journal
 Let the galed jade vince, our witners are
 unwrung."
 It comes to us through the returning braves from the St. Louis convention that certain members of the Kentucky delegation in that body were quite over come by the wise, manly and statesman like message of Judge Alton Brooks Par ker, it's nominee for president of the United States.
 What else was the judge to do? His friends had sought Intellectually to se- cure the insertion of the gold plank in the platform. MT. Bryan had sought effectually to keep it out. This was to make at leAst dog fall. It was to have it go forth that the Bryan-Hearst crowd, seeking ruin and revenge had got in their work over a great majority of democrats who. weary of the journey twixt tweedle- dunn and tweedle-dee, and worn with the dry-husks of populism and the dead-lan- guages of damn-foolism, swere honestly seeking to work their way out of the will derness of disaster and despair into the open and on to the highways of current political thought and action. It was, if not to put the Bryan brand upon the fabric, to give it such a Bryan swpe as would enable that cheap ag1tator to he him thence and claim victory, where he had planned slaughter. This meant the defeat of the ticket which was is now, and will continue to be until the day of election, the dearest aspiration of the Bryan heart, if it has heart; for the touch of Bryanism is a leprosy, it's very memory taint.

AutocracY Here and in Russia.

The imperial decree as a means of condemning political prisoners has been abolished in Russia, and here | after persons accused of political crimes are to be tried by the courts
 under the regular procedure. Scarcely any reform was more needed. Scarcely
 one would prove more far-reaching. Political suspects must now be brought into court, where they will have a right to hear the witnesses called by the state and to defend themselves as men are defended against other charges. Heretofore men have been sent into exile or condemned to death by star-chamber processes, but all such methods are abolished in Holy Rus sia." The sweeping reform will never be reversed in Russia, which is be- coming tired of autocratic rule.
 A like movement is needed in this country, where public business is be- ginning to be done by executive order What Russia is doing should suggest to the voters of this country that auto cratic power is not a good thing to have in the White House. It is too capable of abuse. It trampled under feet the rights of sister republic, the United States of Colombia, It dis bursed millions in pensions without a vote of congress, and it is used daily in the Philippines, where over eight millions of Americans live. We need a sweeping reform here. An execu- tive order is an imperial decree. There is not a bit of difference in principle between them. Each Is one-man rule regardless of parliamentary action or existing law It is up to the voters of America to say whether this country shall be left in the autocratic rut, or shall be lifted out of it. The crisis must be deciued in November.

IN HOTEL LoBBIEs
Wanted a Good Time

T was accosted by nicely dressed man on the street this afternoon with novel proposition" said young man about town. The man was elegantly dressed, was handsome, and had every appearance of being in easy circumstances. He was either feeling unusually gay or was under the influence of liquor, for although he was total stranger to me he came up, slapped me on the back and said. Come on old man and let's have good time.
 You will have to show me the coin first, I replied
 Oh, have the money. all right, and he pulled out roll of bills about the size of your arm
 Although the temptation was great answered that I had to go to work and declined his cordial invitation. I watch ed him for a few minutes and saw him accost several other persons. When last saw him he was talking to two local char acters who seemed willing to show him the town. l hope he had his time but am afraid that he was separated from a large part of his roll before he got to bed.'

Novelties at the FaIr.

Perhaps the most interesting part of the fair at St. Louis is the great number of novel contrivances for attracting the visitors small change" said a man who has just returned from a trip to the expo sition, There are slot machines galore and some of them are decided improve ments on the old style machines that hand out chewing gum or candy. In fact they do everything, including talking. and many surprises are in store for the man who takes the time to investigate them fully
 The most interesting slot machine I encountered was a device that told a persons weight for the modest sum of a nickel. Now you have seen weighing ma chimes before and they told your weight on dial but the new machine shouts the figures through a megaphone and the words apparently coming from nowhere will startle you. This phenomefion is brought about by use of phonogra phic records. There is a record which an- nounces every weight. When you put in releases a record which bears the words telllnB tne numDer or pounds you weigh and the roll announces 1t just as any other photograph would do There Is an- other machine that serves you a glass of artesan water for l cent. The stream flows just long enough to fill the little glass and it is impossible to get more water than is due .ou.
 But the most interesting novelty of the fair is large playground for children where the little tots can be checked and taken care of for a quarter while their parents are seeing the fair There are swings, boxing gloves, trapeze bars, par allel Dars and all kinds of contrivances to amuse children. The grounds are enclos- ed by high fence so that it is impossible for the children to escape, while a Jeff ferson guard and a large force of trained nurses see that their charges come to no harm. Dinner is served to the children on little tables and when they stay to this meal the charge is 50 cents Every con venence is provided for the small guests and scores of them have high old times romping together on the lawn
