COHEN STANDS FIRM
Tho Attacked for Changing Amateur Press
Association Convention.

Maurice. J. Cohen, president of the Uni
ted Amateur Press association. has eX-
erted his constitutional authority and
changed the national convention which
was to have been held at Kansas City,
July s, and 10, to Minneapolis, where the
convention will be held July IA and Is.
The change was made on account of the
pickering between certain factions in Kan
sas City who wished to control the con-
Vention.
Several amateur papers thruout the
country have bitterly attacked President
Cohen, charging him with breaking the
constitution, seeking to put himself in
line for high political honors, and to con.
troll the convention vote. In fact some
papers have come into existence for one %
two numbers simply to give vent to ami
mostly.
Z In Mr.. Cohens new paper, the Char
lotte'' he states the. condition existing in
Kansas City and declares that the change
is entirely in accordance with the consti-
tuition. 1t is promised that square cleo
ton will be held. The guests will be en-
tertained with tally-ho rides trips in
chartered street cars, a pretZelic conVen-
ton, and a banquet. In addition each
amateur editor will be allowed to indulge
in one pyrotechnical outburst of oratory
on the decline or ascent of journalism.

FILLING EVERY DEMAND
ATTIC MAN WHO WANTS A WIFE
MAY NOT GET AID OF STATE
LABOR AGENCY.

Superintendent Louis Levy of the
state free employment bureau gave en-
ployment today to two painters and,
paperhangers, three carpenters, four
quarrymen, one farmer, several dining
room girls and was rounding up four
men to sink shaft in LIE Sueur county.
Yesterday he placed four boys as ap-
prentices in a candy factory and also
six girls in the same factory.
1.-THE success of the employment bu-
reau exceeds our expecta tions,' said
Mr.. Levy today. Gin four days we
have found permanent places for about
forty, an excellent record. Employers
are beginning to appreciate the benefits
Of the bureau. We have an order from
Mattoon, Wis, for fifty laborers, and
if the firm will supply the fare, l can
send the men out on the next train.
cit has been charged that the rea-
son we do not hear from the railroads
is that some subordinates, entrusted
with hiring men, get rakeoff from the
employment agencies. One correspond
ent SAYS that the former fee for getting
Jobs on railroad construction was 81,
whereas it is now So, the extra dollar
going to someone as graft.
. There is good position, as house
keeper for woman at a place where
"women are scarce as hens teeth. - The
applicant says he is lone wldower who
owns a half-section of land and a COM
Portable home. He does not want a
Hfirt' nor "fat thing but thinks
a lively woman Of about $50 pounds
would be about right.

Spending Dollars Abroad.

Public Opinion calls attention to the
summer rush of Americans abroad. 1t
estimates that this being a good year
in America, at least 100000 residents
of this country will take their vaca-
lions in Europe, and that they will
spend on the average $1,000 apiece,
making total of $150,000,00O to be
subtracted from the balance of trade
which would ordinarily be our way.
This sum, if kept at home, would run
the city Of New York for year and
leave handsome margin. 1t would
pay the pension list for year, or it
would buy and rebuild the street rail
way system Of Chicago. There are many
things it would do, but perhaps none
which pays the country any better
than the trips abroad, taken by those
Americans who spend only judiciously
and usefully.
Money is profitable only as 1t Is well
laid out. One of the best ways to lay
it out is in learning, and surely the
American who goes abroad learns
among other things, the value Of money
Another way, useful way, Of spending
money, is in proper recreation. Tho
man who takes well-earned tou1
abroad comes hcme more determined
than he ever was before to make his
business 90.

The Nub Of the Equitable Trouble

The point in the Equitable trouble is
that while the company holds itself out
I to. be mutual concern, it, in fact, is
not. It is a stock concern and the
stock is controlled by one man. Until
this situation is relieved there will be
no peace in the Equitable. Surprising
the company lost all Of it's present di-
rectors, the next set must be the crea-
lures of the stock control just as the
present directors are and, so the process
Of selecting directors might go on for
ever with no relief so long as they rep
resented the stock and not the policy
holders, ...... ..
The theory Of mutual insurance
company is that the policy holders own
it. They delegate the executive au-
thority to certain officers, and they ex-
uals at a stated salary. They are sup.
posed not to have any further interest.
It is true that very few even mutual
insurance companies have worked out
this way in practice. The officers in
7 trench themselves and in course Of time
come to believe they are necessary tt
the company, and are, in fact, the com
pany. But under the mutual plan OF
organization it is always possible, ii
theory at least, to notify an Officer
: that he is not wanted.
In many companies policy holder!
are prohibited from giving proxies tt
vote their shares except on a certain
fixed day for the annual meeting ant
officers and agents are prohibited from
f voting proxies at all. In this way it i
possible for the policy holders to con
troll a meeting whenever in the histor,
of the company it becomes importan
for them to do so. Of course, SO lony
as their officers are doing their dut!
and doing nothing else, there is no nee,
& for the policy holders to excite them
selves about the annual meeting. It j
well, however, to have the lower an
for the officers to know that it is in es
istence.
That is what is lacking in the Equit

CANINE KLEPT0MANIA
PROVES HEREDITARY

Is canine kleptomania hereditary It
would seem so from the history of
Bruno, son of Annette, who is owned by
Isadore Borovsky.
Annette in former days was owned
by Max Epstein, 615 Aldrich avenue n,
and became known to newspaper fame
and professors of psychology as a con-
firmed kleptomaniac. Her prevailing
fancy was feminine hats and she used
the utmost cunning in entering houses
all over the city and making away with
choice Partisan creations. She would
take them home and carefully put them
away where they would be found but
slightly damaged.
The youthful Bruno has developed the
same traits and he, too, makes a special.
ty of hats. In his anxiety to get at
headgear he will pass by the choicest
piece Of beefsteak. In order that he
may not be detected he has been known
to wipe his feet on a doormat before
entering. When once the hat is secured
and taken home, further interest ceases.

CITY NEWS
THOUGHT WHEELOCK
HAD LEGS TO SPARE

Ralph Wheelock. secretary to the
mayor, was busy yesterday afternoon
gazing out Of the window and admir-
ing the architectural beauties of the
Leslie building. when his reverie was
broken by demand for his presence
at the counter. A middle-aged Swed-
ish woman, who appeared anatomically
complete, wished to see the mayor. She
was told that he was out.
/ Well, | want to see the mayor and
complain about the streetcars,' she
announced. "They RIM too fast and
are liable to hurt people. I was just
struck by streetcar on Fourth street
and had both legs cut off,
The secretary tried to catch a
glimpse over the counter at the bleed
ing stumps. All he could see was the
tops of two apparently normal feet and
his pity was turned to wonder. 1t
finally developed that the visitor was
harmlessly demented and amuses her
self by having imaginary accidents
wherein she is always badly mangled.

Peace May Come Of It.

While it may be incautious to say at
this time peace is in sight yet the situa-
ton is distinctly hopeful for the open
ing of negotiations between the con-
tending powers. President Roosevelt s
efforts have been confined to getting
their representatives to approach one
another and apparently they have not
been without success. The most ex-
IRENE delicacy has to be exercised in
this stage Of the preliminaries of peace
and this is why the public knows so lit
tie about the matter. But secrecy is
q hopeful sign that something is being
done.
When Russia and Japan have taken
the first step of recognizing the fact of
each others existence and begun to
talk peace even in the most tentative
way, there will be no need for the other
powers to do anything except watch the
progress Of the negotiations and try to
make the path Of peace as smooth as
possible for both. The actual terms
perhaps will not be mentioned in these
days, and when they are mentioned
they will undoubtedly at first drive the
warning powers farther apart for a
time Japan will seek to have some
thing to trade with and Russia will
stand on her dignity and say the offer
is such that the czar's government
could not entertain it.
But if both have had enough of fight
ing it will be not impossible to over
come the objections of Russia nor modi-
fly the demands of Japan. After Lao
yang, Japan would have quit fighting
for the status quo as it existed in Feb
ruary, 1904, plus her diplomatic demand
that Russia fulfill her pledges to the
powers. After Mukden and the Tsu
islands Japan was justified in charging
the scope Of her demands and undoubt-
eddy has enlarged them to include the
permanent allegiance Of the Russian fleet
in Asiatic waters, the transfer of the
lease Of Port Arthur, the neutralizing of
Vladivostok s fishing privileges off Sag
halien, the command Of the Eastern
China railroad, and perhaps an indem
nifty. The latter is the real sticking
point with Russia. So far as the other
items are concerned Japan has most OF
them now, and really, the only thing she
is demanding is that she be paid the ex
pense Of taking them. Russia, how
ever, is free to say that inasmuch az
Japan always denied Russia right il
Marchuria and Port Arthur, she canno
ask Russia to pay the expense of suing
out the writ of custer. 1t is not entirel,
improbable that Japan could be settlet
with today without money indemnify
But that is today. Tomorrow japan
may be in possession of real Russian
territory. -.
