Iowa @66:00. Kansas 46.29, Maine 33.64, and, the number of arrests" for other causes but drunkenness and disturbance of the peace was, in H. linois 1S.40. Indiana 22.64, Ohio 26.39, Iowa 27.40, Kansas 24.04, Maine 7.93.
 Here again figures show that in respect to the total number of arrests Iowa takes the lead and that Kansas is far ahead of Illinois and Indiana.
 Exactly the same result appears in considering the number of arrests for al other causes but drunkenness and disturbance of the peace. This, how ever, is very important, for after the elimination of drunkenness and dis turbance of the peace, the remainder of the causes consists principally in actual crime.
 Somewhat astonishing is the small number of arrests for other causes but drunkenness and disturbance of the peace in Maine, but whatever the causes for 1t may be. the fact that the number of arrests for drunken ness in that state is very large, larger than in either state on the list, Iowa excepted, amply proves that drink is not. as prohibitionists. declare. the cause of most crimes. If 1t were, the number of arrests for other causes but drunkenness and disturbance of the peace in Maine would necessarily be considerably larger.

FRIDAY, AUGUST 8, 1oo6.

In the recent debate in the senate on the naval appropriation when a proposed appropriation authorizing a monster battleship to cost SIC, 0,000,- 900 or SIP, 100000 was under dis cussion, Senator Tillman said: "We have read of battles between whales and swordfish, and we know how much trouble the great leviathan has in battling with school of sword fish. That simile occurs to me as an illustration of the inutility, the use- lessness, and the dangerous condition into which great ship like this might be if a lot of torpedo boats, or submarines, or other destructive agencies, or even smaller vessels hav- ing equally good guns that could piece her armor or pierce her hull, should be her adversaries."

Members of congress who go to Washington these days, and most of them manage to get there at least once during the course of summer, relate that interest in MT Bryan's presidential boom overs6adows all most every other political Questfon, aside from the query vital to repub- publicans, Who can We name to suc- cesssully oppose Bryan in 1908? Those who propound the question al- most invariably are ready with an answer. It is Roosevelt, they declare, else defeat. A period of about twen- ty-three months must elapse before the convention of the next republi- can national convention. A great many things may happen in that time, but just now republicans are scared and they do not take the trouble to conceal it. There is pos sibility, of course, that within the next two years Roosevelt or Bryan, or both, may do or say something to remove them as presidential possi- bilities. But if things go on un- changed, is the prediction that comes from the four points of the compass, it will be a walkover for Bryan un- less Roosevelt is his opponent.

The meeting of the fourth class

The meeting of the fourth class postmasters to take place at Chicago next month promises to be of more than usual interest and will be large ly attended. These annual meetings of postmasters have come to be a feature of the postal service. They were inaugurated by John Wanamak- CT when he was postmaster general. Mir Wanamaker was wise enough to reach the conclusion that no post master general could have a monop- oly of ideas as to how postal affairs should be administered, so he sought light from every direction. He began by calling a meeting of the inspec- tors, and he laid before them certain suggestions that had come to him, and asked them to consider the whole range of the postal service and give him the benefit of their discussion and their conclusions. He next called the various superintendents of the railway mail service to meet him at Washington. The experiment has been so fruitful in valuable sugges- tions that he extended the scope to postmasters. The first called together were the postmasters in a few of the larger cities near Washington. He then sent for the postmasters of 15O of the largest cities in the country. This proved to be a notable gather ing and remained in session several days. The meeting occurred during a session of congress. and at the re- quest of the house and senate com mittees on post offices, the conven- ton of postmasters selected a com mfttee from their owH number to con- fer with the congressional commit tees. This committees remained in Washington several weeks in daily consultation with the congressional committees and very largely iufiu- enced the legislation of that session.

THE CAUSE OF CRIME.
Not Drunkenness, Says Census Bu. reau-Prohibidon States Have
 Most Arrests. D.

Washington, D. C., Aug 3.-The census bureau has issued bulletin containing statistics of cities having a population of 5000 to 25,000. The tables give, among other things. the number of arrests for different causes. and comparison has been made by officials and men interested fin sociological problems between pro- hibition and license states. for the purpose of studying the effects of prohibition, and the result Is surpris- ing in many respects.
 The total population of the cities between 5000 and 25,000 inhabi- tants of Illinois is 360,260, of Indi- ana 275. 1858. of Ohio 369.2S6. of Iowa l64.506, of Kansas 104.745, of Maine 1851. Three of these states are license states. three are prohibit ton states.
 The number of arrests for drunk .enness among each 1000 inhabitants in these states are as follows: IT, linois 19.30, Indiana 17.5s, Ohio 25.O0. Iowa 27.50. Kansas 14.61. Maine 25.3s.
 For disturbance of the peace the number of arrests were: Illinois 6.53, Indiana 1.72. Ohio s.22, Iowa 5.I0. Kansas 7.si. Maine 0.52.
 For both causes together: Illinois z5.s3, Indiana 1880, Ohip 33.22. Iowa 32.sO, Kansas 22.25, Maine '25.71.
 These figures show that drunken ness is much more prevalent in Iowa and Maine. both prohibition states. than in either Illinois. Indiana or Ohio. And if the arrests for drunk .enness and disturbance of the peace are taken together, which is quite proper because drunken persons are. in police stations. quite frequently slated for disturbance of the peace, Kansas makes almost as bad a show ing as Illinois and a considerably worse showing than Indiana
 Further comparison is still more interesting The total number of ar rests for each 1000 inhabitants in the states named vas. in Illinois |ft.2A Indiana tlaA ohie -kA1a,

TESTIMONY OF GHOSTS.
Peculiar Trials Found Among British
Court Records.
From the London Sta ndard.

From the London Standard
The testimony OF ghost would not
now count for much in a court Of law, but
the day has been when IL has sufficed TO
hang a man. 1t is stated that the original
dispositions are in the Bodleian library OF
most remarkable case of this character.
A girl named Annie Walker was supposed
TO have been sent away for her gooo by
substantial farmer. Sometime afterward a.
so-called apparition appeared to a neighbor,
with It's head ali bloody from wounds, and
telling him that she had been murdered by
the farmer and an accomplce. Her body.
the appariton said. had been buried In a
spot which she described, and she begged
the man to whom she appeared to bring her
murderers to justice. True enough. the body
was found in the place mentioned, and tho
men were brought to trial. The sensational
character of the case Was intensified by one
of the jurymen declaring that he saw the
child of the dead woman sitting upon the
shoulder of its father, the farmer. Both
the culprits were hanged.
There was a ghostly accuser in case
with which readers of Scott are familiar.
Soon after the "'I5 English soldier.
wandering near Braemer, met a violent
death Hawks do not peck out hawks cen,
and no man opened his mouth to give
clue. Years passed and then came story or
q communication from another world
A farm servant declared that in the night
a spirit had appeared to him. declaring It
self to be the ghost OF the soldier whose
bones Ii said lay still unburied. The High
lander must see to their decent interment
and have the murderers-two men named
brought to justice. The Highlander proPl-
ised but did not keep his word. and sec
and third time the spirit appeared and up
braided him for his breach of faith.
Alarmed at last and no longer daring to de-
lay. the man called companion. went to
the spot which the spirit had indicated and
there found the bones Of the murdered war
rfor concealed in a moorland tract called
the Hill OF Christie
The story of the Highlander came to the
ears of an anti-Jacobite. who caused the
matter TO be brought to trial before the
court of Judiciary. Edinburgh. There the
tale was corroborated by q woman who
had seen q naked figure enter the place on
the night spoken OF by the man. 1t was an
age of superstition. In district moro than
