LESS SPECULATION

= Democrats seem to be entirely
overlooking the possibilities which
have been presented to them in the
fight which has been begun in Ohio
Between Senator Foraker and the
Nd Ohio machine on one side and
kresidemt Roosevelt and Secretary
Taft on the other. For some years
there has been more OF lcss dis
Ansion in the ranks OF the DEM
deratlc party in this state and the
Wpublicans have not been slow to
take advantage of it, but now that
the republicans are fighting among
themselves, the democrats seem con-

has been said by democrats on

for their candidate. They seem
contented to SIT by and comment
upon the probability of Theodore
Roosevelt accepting another NOM

will secure the Ohio delegation in
the next national convention and
whether capital will carry out the

STILL MORE INSURANCE REV.
ELATIONS. r

That life insurance reform in New
York is not yet an accomplished
fact, despite the work of the Arm
strong commission and the legislation
enacted In consequence, has been
made very plain by the struggle be-
tween Gov. Hughes and the ma
chine over his attempted removal, on
the ground of inefficiency, of the
state superintendent of insurance.
Fresh allegations of inefficiency and
corruption in the department. are
made in the report of the Interna-
tional Policyholders' Committee, upon
the recent election Of trustees of the
Mutual and New York Life insurance
companies. 1t Is charged that gross
frauds were perpetrated. and that the
management of the companies. with
the assistance of the department OF
insurance, evaded and in every way
possible nullified the law"
1t was pointed out at the time that
the conditions of the election encour-
aged and invited precisely the frauds
now charged. The International COM
mittee declares that, In the first place
the list of policyholders. which was
grudgingly filed by the companies,
contained thousands of incorrect
names and addresses; and that this
was due to design and not careless
ness appears from the alleged fact
that correct lists were supplied to
the army of agents and Others whose
business it was to do missionary work
and secure proxies favorable to the
regime in power. 1t is charged
further. that the companies resorted
to the old Philadelphia election de-
vice of voting dead men, and those
whose policies had lapsed. In brief,
1t Is made to appear that fraud pre-
vailed from first to last. and alleged
that 1t could not have existed on
such scale had 1t not been for the
remissness or completely OF the state
insurance department.
Altogether, the affair has an ugly
look. II only by reason of the char
acter OF the men who make the
charges. Without exception, the
members of the International CON-
mittee are men of unquestioned char
acter and standing; and 1t Is un-
thinkable that they would have sub
scribed to these grave allegations
had they not been convinced of the
truth. For this reason alone the
charges cannot be whistled down the
wind. This report will have at least
one happy result In putting a big
stick In the hands of Gov. Hughes
which may turn the nowdoubtful
struggle In his favor; while, unless
the accusations are fatty denied and
to some extent disproved by the In
surance companies themselves. there
will be bred In the public mind a new
suspicion that insurance reform Is
more apparent than real. Only In
the courts can tlfe facts now be de-
termined. PLAIN Dealer.

DETERMINED TO STOP THE

New York, April 1S.-While squads
Iof detectives are securing the foreign
quarters, working under the direct
orders of Police Commissioner Bing-

of the greater city are showing evil
dence of their intention to cooperate

INsINcERITY
IS APPARENT

~ ntllnDer cl republican papers
in Ohio, notably the Sandusky
Register, the Mansfield News and
the Marion Star have come out
openly and above board for Sena-
tor Foraker. They have gone upon
record as opposed to Secretary
Taft, who is the man selected by
President Roosevelt rs best fitted
to carry on the reforms which he
has sought to institute. And in
opposing Secretary Taft they op-
pose the, president.
1t is not at all surprising that
editor Mack, of the Register, editor
Cappellar of the News and editor
Harding of the Star should be
found favoring Foraker. They
have been for years parts Of the
machine, of which Foraker is now
conceded to he the backbone. They
| have received honois and favors at
the hand of Foraker and ii would
be the basest ingratitude now for
them to desert him at time when
his political future is at stake.
There is however another side TO
the question which is indeed anus
Ing. Last fall, it will be remem-
bercd, the Register and Star de-
voted much space in endeavoring TO
shcw to the people of Erie and
Marion counties wherein Congress
man Mouser had stood firmly by
! President Roosevelt and how for
that reason he should be returned
to c1gress. They maintained then
that the president was right and
that the future peace and prosper
|ity Of the country depended upon
the president being given con.
gress which would stand by him
and assist in inaugurating his re-
forms. The Star even resorted tc
eleventh hour politics to carry the
day and return to Congress Mr..
Alouser, whom it maintained was q
most ardent supporter OF the presi'
dent. But now when it comes tc
the point of choosing between
Roosevelt and Foraker, who is al
wowed opponent of the presi,
dents policies, these editors who
were so solicitous for the welfare
of the president and his policie,
turn directly upon him and an.
lnounce their allegiance TO his worst
enemy. The claim that they are op
posing Secretary Taft and not Pres
ident Roosevelt cannot be made, be
cause Senator Foraker has been di-
recting his remarks at the president
never having more than men.
Toned the coryulent secretary.
One OF two things is certain
Either these avowcd followers OF
Foraker were insincere when they
told the people that Roosevelt
should be supported, or their sci
fishness and hope of personal gain
have ovelshadcwed their love for
Roosevelt and their hope of reforms
for which he stands.

MADE LOVE BY MAIL;
UNHAPPINESS THE RESULT

Marysville, o., April 1S.--Frank
Denman, who was married four
months ago through the medium of a
matrimonial agency, claims that he
was deceived that the woman who
came from New York to marry him,
did not come up either to the descrip-
tlon or the photograph she had given
of herself. ~
His suit for divorce, which was
thrown out Of court today by Judge
Brodrick, was brought on the
ground that his love had been OBJ
tanned on false pretenses. In sup
lport of the contention he exhibited
to the judge the photograph which
he said had been sent him. and asked
to have It compared with the orig
inal.
Mr.. and Mrs. Denman were mar
ried in Columbus, Dec. II, after a

Issue With Postofhce
Department

Lorain, o., April IS. Senator For
aker has taken issue with the postof-
fee department in the case of Lorain
carriers, who refuse to leave the mil
itary company on strike duty at the
call of Postmaster Bowman. Bowman
said the postal service is more i'm
portapt than the military and sus-
pended the carriers, one of whom was
the captain of the company.
Foraker has wired the suspended
carriers that he will take up the fight
on their behalf. The postoffice de-
partment has already ruled that Bow

CATHOLIC LEADER is
DEPOSED BY POPE

Rome, April IS. Father Romolo
Murri, leader of the Catholic Demo-
Gratis here, has been suspended ad
divinis by the pope for disobedience to
the papal instructions regarding the
behavior of the clergy.
The punishment inflicted upon
Father Murrl has aroused mofe or
less excitement here, principally
among the liberal section OF the
Catholics. Father Murri's offense
consisted of severe criticism of the
action OF the church In Italy as we'll
as comment on the French situation,
especially the Montagani' documents.
|'Ehe suspension decreed by the pope
means that Father Murri may not
exercise his official office or admin
istcr and enjoy the fruits Of his min
istry.
At the recent consistory. the pope
delivered speech In which he con-
demned with energy certain new ideas
which he said threatened to bring
about rebellion under the pretext OF
return to the pure Gospel. The
alluslon to the principles Of Father
Murri was evsaept.

Special Delivery"

Champ Clark's new special delivery
law, now effective throughout the
United States, will doubtless prove a
benefit to thousands of people every
day. Under the old law when a PEI
son desired to send a letter by special
delivery it was necessary to secure Il
special delivery stamp. This WAS
frequently impossible. 1t was very i'll
convenient to find special delivery
stamps. Under the new law, 10 cents
in postage in addition to the reguld.
2-Cent postage will send the letter IN
special delivery" All the sender has
to do i'll addition to supplying the nee
essary Stamps is to inscribe upon thu
envelope-"speCial delivery" This is
a sensible Improvement i'll the postal
system.
1t is a sensible law. If Legislators
would seek to do more acts of service
for the people such as this, and quit
wasting time and money with freak
and corporation legislation, what 4
benefit it would be to all.

An Old Story.

Editorial writers in the northern
states are rather apt to make poor
use of their judgment when it comes
to writing on any phase of the seCtioI.
al trouble between the north and the
south. The following extract from the
Chicago Evening Post is fair sample
of what may be expected when the
over-zealous patriot of the southern
cause breaks loose:
For a long time the democratic par
ty refused to give serious cOnsidera
ton to suggestions that proper presi
Dental timber might be found in tat
south. Fear that no southern candidate
could be elected was, of course, the
reason for the democratic deafness Il
suggestion. Recently the party ha;
listened TO the men who are the spOr
sors of the southern idea, but there /,
still a timorousnesS when it comes I,
the matter of giving full heed.
The civil war is ancient history t,
first voters, and to those who still 'vOs,
as they shot it was waged a very Ions
time ago. The north does not fed
southern supremacy as it once feared
it. In truth a candidate from the othc
side of the line would find no particIi
larry heavy handicap in the mere fac
that his home was on the sunny sid,
of the Potomac"
There are some people who have for
gotten that the civil war has ended
and in some instances it may be truth
fully said that they have deliberatcl,
refused to do so. The differences ne
tween the north and the south havt
long since been removed, and it woulr
be a splendid policy for northern pa
pers to deny themselves the privilege
of resurrecting old ghost stories.

guest who is i'll the possession of any
high title or who has in any way or
sphere distinguished himself If the
host himself is the Oldest in the COM
pany or has any high decora ton of
merit, he must first begin the meal
without delay in order not to let the
others unduly wait. 1t shows bad up
bringing to be in q melancholy mood at
table or to speak of disagreeable things
or to engage in inappropriate discus
sions on matters of religious piety.
Foremost of all. one must always be in
good humor and talk of pleasant things.
as did the prophet himself
You must always help yourself from,
the side of the dish nearest to you and
| never try to find out the best bits,
which ought to be left for other guests
If one of the invited has not much ap-
petite, you must ask him up to three
times with some kind chosen words tc
partake of the meals. A longer insist
ence would cause ennui and would be
most inappropriate. You must never
stop eating before others. because III
doing so you will embarrass them and
cause them to finish quickly In initial
