made by the Burlington in the rates is
being seriously considered by the post
master general in determining whether
the total compensation received by the
railroads shall be reduced between S.
100000 and $780, GOO annually.
This fact became apparent, 1t is stated,
last Wednesday, when a committee Of
prominent railroad men called upon the
postmaster general with q petition ask
ssFa} f' esa NJ ssS' tRafl fA3 syefE Es2 lgsFl fd tRs
for one week to be divided by seven in
stead of by six in arriving at the average
tonnage carried. Such q division as the
postmaster general is insisting upon will
reduce the mail compensation nearly IA
per cent.
The chairman of the committee which
called upon the postmaster general was
W. w. Baldwin, assistant to President
Harris of the Burlington. 1t SO happened
that Baldwin was also the man who con-
veyed to the former postmaster general
the proposition by the Burlington to cut
Its rates to meet the Rock Island compe-
tttion. The postmaster general Is said to
have intimated that, in view of a volun-
tAry reduction. 1t might be difficult for
him to be convinced that the mail pay
could not stand a general cut.

As to Railway Mail Pay.

Last winter Hon. Victor Murdoch,
representative from the Wichita dis
trict Of Kansas, started in energetical-
ly to reduce the pay for railway mail
service. The old scheme was to weigh
the mail for a certain number of days,
counting Sundays, to ascertain the to-
tai amount carried and then to divide
that amount by the same number of
days minus the Sundays to ascertain
the daily amount on which to base the
pay for the ensuing four years. That
made the divisor six, while Murdoch
insisted that the diyisor should be sew
en-, which would make a vast differ
ence in the pay annually. He spoke
about it till he made everybody dizzy.
Failing to induce congress to take his
view, he got Postmaster General Cor
telyou to issue an order to that effect.
The following telegram recently print
ed in the st. Louis Globe-Democrat
throws considerable light on the entire
subject of railway mail compensation:
Chicago. May 1s.-The recent action of
Burlington in cutting the rates on trans
continental mail to meet the competition
r time of the Rock Island Is having an
important bearing upon the question Of
mail compensation generally.
1t Is said that the voluntary reduction

Watterson's Dark Horse.

Marse Henry Watterson's presiden-
tial dark hoaee in likely to become as
much of a mystery as the Man in the
Iron Mask if he does not reveal his
identity before long. He should get up
a guessing contest and charge 10 cents
a guess, thereby replenishing his ex-
chequer. 1t is now neck and neck be-
twixt Marse Henry and Colonel John
Temple Graves in creating sensations
as to the presidential nominations.
There are not two more lovable or elo-
quent men in America than this same
pair of great southern editors, but in
this matter they seem to be taking an
oratorical or editorial license which is
closely akin to the traditional poetical
license which bards in all ages and in
all climes have arrogated to them
selves.

Visiting Statesmen.

Some little while ago it was an
nounced that Mr.. Speaker Cannon had
thrown aside the cares of statesman
ship as a garment and would spend his
vacation running a Danville bank
while his son-in-law, the cashier, is in
Europe. But Uncle Joe appears to be
doing a good deal of visiting for a man
who has charge of an important bank
ing institution. Lately he called upon
Mr.. Vice President Fairbanks, where
upon certain quick witted newspaper
correspondents jumped to the conclu-
sion that Uncle Joe had agreed to get
out of the presidential field and throw
his w strength to the tall Hoosier, q
report which caused the ambitious Illi-
noisan to use language too vigorous to
print. The following dispatch is quite
likely to make him 'swear like our
army in Flanders"
Albany, N. Y, May 1S.-Speaker Joseph
G.. Cannon Of the house of representatives
called on Governor Hughes at the execu-
tive I'M today. and the two had a
clared that their talk was of a general
character.
Speaker Cannon deprecated in his con-
Versation with the newspaper men in the
executive chamber today the talk thus
early of favorite sons for the presiden-
tial nomination. He told how he felt
about it by giving a dog story as an illus
tration.
Out on the Wabash said the speaker.
w note that the dog that is always
first to give tongue when the pack is let
loose is the one less likely to tree a coon
or other game. These dogs that are too
quick TO raise a commotion we term
sooner dogs"
The speaker was asked to give his i'm
preston that some tares had got into the
wheat and that people thought it a good
thing to get some one to separate the
tares from the good grain, while they
should continue to work in the wheat
fields, and they considered that Governor
Hughes was secured for this purpose.
The speaker said he had no doubt that
Governor Hughes was performing his
whole duty.
While the governor and the speaker
were chatting at the big desk in the ex-
ecutive m Regent st. Clair Nickel
way and Senator John Raines were sit
ting in another part of the room, waiting
an opportunity to see the governor. The
regent turned to Senator Raines and said:
1T would not be strange If we were
looking at the next candidates for presi-
dent and vice president, Cannon and
Hughes"
NO." said the senator. Stranger
things than that nave happened"

The Case of Oklahoma.

President Roosevelt will act very I'M
wisely if he yields to the advice of
political buccaneers who are trying to
keep Oklahoma out Of the Union on
most fimsy p%retexts. The American
people love justice. and they know that
a million brave pioneers are entitled
to constitute a state. Under the above
title the Washington Herald, an indie
pendent paper, recently published this
vigorous editorial:
The grand old party must be hard up
conspire to prevent the admission of Ok
lahoma on the grounds so far alleged to
Justify opposition to the entry Of that
state into the Union. Startling discov-
cries are made daily as to the shortcom-
lngs of the new constitution. 1t has not
made sufficient provision for public edu-
cation, 1t gerrymanders the state, and,
worse than all, it bears too hard on cor
operations.
These are ostensible objections. The
real ones are ven less plausible, but
much more convincing from a party
standpoint. They are that the new state
appears to be hopelessly Democratic and
that II a state government is set up an
army of federal employees would be out
Of Jobs. Behind the whole agitation against
statehood stand corporate interests only
too anxious to avoid the regulation and
control which the provisions Of the con-
stitution seek to set up over them.
1t seems almost incredible that the aid
of President Roosevelt and Secretary
Taft should be invoked to carry out a
conspiracy composed of such unsavory ell
ements and designed to accomplish such
malodorous purposes. 1t may be that the
constitution trainers Of Oklahoma have
made mistakes, but there Is ample provi-
sion for their rectifcation, nd. strangely
enough, the ease with which the consti-
tuition may be amended by means Of the
Initiative and referendum is one of the
reasons given by the conspirators for re-
fusing admission to the new state.
In fact, all the objections so far made
to the constitution are trivial and absurd.
New York is SO badly gerrymandered thai
Governor Hughes cannot stand for it, but
he Is having considerable trouble .getting
the matter recti1ed. The dominant party
might better turn its enginery of reform
upon the Empire State instead of carping
ut the errors of our newest common
wealth.

The Buckeye Warwick.

These be parlous times, my masters
especially in Ohio, where men and
things are sizzling hot. The view there
is kaleidoscope. Now you see 1t and
now you don't. Six months ago 1T
seemed that Senator Joseph Benson
Foraker had the Ohio world in a sling.
Then Taft stock began to rise. Then
it was nip and tuck betwixt them.
Then, when George B. Cox, the boss of
Cincinnati and of the state, declared
for his ancient enemy, Secretary Taft,
the Jig appeared to be up with Senator
Foraker, but he kicks at being handed
over bound hand and foot to his oppo-
nents. But Senator Foraker may kick
as much as he pleases, and it will do
him little good, for George B. Cox is the
Buckeye Warwick. For years he has
made and unmade United States n
tors, representatives in congress, gov
errors, judges and minor officers. After
the Republican rout in Ohio in 1905
Cox published a statement that he was
out Of politics for keeps. Nobody be-
lieved him then, and now he has open
~ rGSumGu UuSll1cSS dl luc Olu oldAu
and aspires to be a president maker.
Truth to tell, he helped considerably in
sending Mckinley to the White House.
He was cheek by jowl with Marcus
Alonzo Hanna in 1896 and again in
1900. Hanna is in his grave, but Cox
is still in the land Of the living, cour-
ageous, resourceful, ambitious and
master Of the Ohio situation. That
Cox should throw the weight Of his in
fuence in favor of Taft, whose Akron
speech in 1905 in denunciation of Cox
and all his works, is n of the most
extraordinary developments Of the
extraordinary era in which we live and
is another Illustration Of the truth Of
the old saying that politics makes
| strange bedfeliows.'' That Cox should
be a presidential Warwick should fur
nish lovers of the republic much food
for reflection. for it must be for
gotten that the G.. o. r. arrogates
falsely to itself all intelligence, patriot
ism and civic righteousness, posing as

the chief apostle Of purity and light.
Though Foraker knows that Cox's lat
est pronunciamento settles the presi-
dental nomination, he Is game, his
blood is up, and he will probably fight
on to the end tooth and nail and there
by give Taft and his adherents so
much trouble in bagging the Buckeye
delegation that they canpot do enough
missionary work in ~otheSstates to final
" capture the presidential nomina-
ton for the secretary of war. Sweet
Is revenge" which nobody since the
death Of Lord Byron understands bet
ter than does your Ohio politician. 1t
will not be all smooth sailing for Secre-
tary Taft of Ohio by any means. Sen
ator Foraker possesses certain ele-
ments Of strength from which he can-
not be divorced. All men in politics
are not tickle and deceitful. Foraker has
q host of friends who will fight for him
to the last ditch.
But this Foraker-Taft feud has
wrought a dizzy mixup in Ohio poll
tics. There Is General-Senator Dick.
for instance, whooping it up for For
aker to beat the band, not because he
Is so fond Of Foraker, but because he
Is fond of his OWL senatorial toga.
Last year circumstances forced them to
fight in pairs, for the danger that then
confronted n confronted the other,
and they won out. Dick seems now to
fear that If Foraker loses this fight he
Dick) may be forced to walk the plank,
for Ohio is full of ambitious statesmen
who aspire to the senate. Dick is q
valuable ally, for he is the understudy
of Senator Hanna and residuary lega-
tee of his political estate. He is the
head center Of what is left Of the old
Hanna machine, and, while one Of the
chief functions of that machine was to
fight Foraker SO long as Hanna lived,
1t is now at Foraker's command. Dick
Is chairman Of the executive commit
tee of the Republican state committee
"a wheel within a wheel, imperium in
lmperio. He called a Republican meet
ing to boost Foraker. Finding out
that the meeting was likely to boost
Taft instead of Foraker he called it off,
thereby making confusion worse con-
founded.
One result Of the Foraker-Taft feud
In that the Ohio Democrats are pluck
ing up courage and are now figuring
on electing a Democrat to succeed For
aker in the senate, a consummation
devoutly to be wished. They have
plenty of good senatorial timber.
