PADDING THE REcoRn.

closing days of the session, in per-
petuating one of the abuses long prac-
ticed on the public, by extending leave
to print speeches in the Congressional
Record for five days after adjournment.
This means that every congressional
district in the country will be flooded
during the coming campaign with
speeches never delivered, but prepared
solely for use al campaign documents.
The chief objection to the leave to

of congress to insert in the official

OLD FRIENDS.
Baltlmore American.


Soon, two dear old friends well welcome,
yet friends who are ever yonng,
Friends whose rare and wise conditions
have been shown in every tongue,
And who come about this season, just as
do the birds and flowers,
And who help TO brighten up a many OF
life's dullest hours.
We are always glad to see them, ana wo
greet them with a smile,
Though in it maybe wrinkles Just a spark
of harmless guile,
When we know how on the problems OF the
eye they will dilate,
They are the college orator., the tair girl
graduate.
They know It all. God bless 'eml as we
knew K all before,
When at their age we, too, were full OF
wisdom and of lore,
They're ready to fight battles that the
world is fighting still,
To win them, to bring out all Bood ana
crush out all the i'll. ~
The world has waited for them-true, with
some impatient fuss
Just as when we were leaving school,. We
found 1t wait for us,
And listened with restful awe While loudly
we did pirate,
When we were college graduates or a fair
girl graduate.
And now we sit and smile with an indul-
gent PHYS touch
At the boys and girls who are so sure
hey know so very much,
And yet we'd miss their earnestness, their
eagerness to be
Some use 20 ~strugglers In the tide OF life's
hard human sea,
Their bright enthusiasms, their big plans
we'd miss them all.
For we remember our own pangs when we
went to the wall
With our TefOrmS-but cheer them, now,
for really they are great.

THE GREAT PRICE WE PAY.
h the Celebration of July 4th
Costs in Life and Limb.
Century Magazine.

NCnAuI1 MdkdLllANs
The fitting celebration of Independence
day is a question on which patriotic Amer
leans are separated into two widely diver
gent parties, one claiming that it ought TO
be observed as noisily as possible, the other
believing that our national birthday is too
glorious an occasion to be marred by din
and disorder. OF course, we know that
even among those who favor a boisterous
observance there >-re many who canno
tolerate 1t themselves, and escape to the
country in order to avoid the tortures Of
the awful Fourth" just as we know that
a large proportion of the noise makers,
including the small boy, and the big hoy,
too, is needless, II not ignorant, of all that
our holiday stands for, and thinks Of It
only as a time when clamor may roign
unrestrained.
The figures which indicate the price that
we pay for each of our yearly celebrations
are so appalling that one would suppose a
knowledge of them would be the most
powerful deterrent to our annual mas
sacre. This. unfortunately. is not the case.
For the last five years the Journal of the
American Medical Association has endeav-
ored to collect statistics setting forth what
the celebration OF the Fourth costs in life
and human usefulness; and although these
are admittedly incomplete-compiled, as
they are, almost entirely from newspaper
reports instead OF. from records of hospi-
tails, dispensaries and physicians-they
from the gravest possible srraignment Of
the recklessness which is willing to pay
such a price for 'jolly day" They show
that during the celebration OF five national
birthdays, from 1903 to 1907, inclusive, 1,153
persons were killed and 22,62o injured. OF
the injured, eight suffered total and $50
partial blindness; $50 persons lost their
arms. legs or hands, and 1910 lost one or
more fingers. But these figures, startling
as they are, convey only a faint idea of
the suffering. both physical and mental,
which went to swell the total cost of these
five holidays. In this we must also in
clude the weeks. and often months, of
anguish OF the injured, the suspense of en-
tire families while the fate of some loved
one hung in the balance; the horror of a
future of sightless years, the pinching pow
erty now the lot of many because of the
death or manning of the

POSTAL SERVICE IMPROVEMENT.

POSTAL SERVICE IMPROVEMENTS.
In announcing his decision to extend
the evening delivery of mail in New
York City Postmaster General Meyer
very frankly points out our shortcom-
ings in mail service in the larger
American cities as compared with the
European capitals. He says:
The postal service in our large cities is
not what it should be. and is not up to the
standard of London, Paris and Berlin. In
London one can write a letter and get an
answer the same afternoon. In Paris and
Berlin they have services which are almost
as expeditions as the telegraph in this
country.

will be recognized as Just, but condi-
lions are radically different in .Eu-
opean capitals. Most of the large
European cities are compactly built,
many of them with a population Of

area than Is included in the mail de-
livery district in Omaha. The service,
too, has been established for many

FIRST OF THE DREADNouGHTs.
Launch of the Michigan MRrks n New
Era i'm the Navy.

Philadelphia Press.
with the launching OF the Michigan In
the Delaware river from Camden, the
new navy of the United States enters
on its third stage. The first came when
four cruisers were built twenty-five years
ago. The second arrived when the four
battleships, which were at Santiago were
planned and launched from ten to fifteen
years ago. The third comes with the
launch off the first all big gun battle ships,
the other being built in this city.
with these vessels the United states for
the first time takes al even start with
other powers in the naval race. When the
cruisers were built, other powers had been
launching cruisers for twenty years. Battle
ships had been building as long when the
Massachusetts, was planned. But the Michi-
gan represents the D-readnought type, less
than three years old, and the United states
from the start matches any power in them
but England.
The Michigan Is not only 1900 tons, and
therefore larger than it's predecessors and
close to the ~Dreadnought at 17,9OO-would
be as big II naval experts advice had
been followed-but it's battery is all con-
centrated. Instead OF guns of 12-inch, S-inch
ana 16-inch it carries eight Pinch guns
where other battleships as big carry four
This not only doubles the amount of fire
on one vessel, but 1t is believed that eight
guns firing together on one battleship can
do far more thar the divided fire of four
guns each on two b%attleships.
No one has yet tried this in action. Az
Santiago at point-blank ranges of under
two miles no Pinch or 13-inch gun hit
anything, but a revolution has taken place
since then in naval Workmanship. The
Japanese are believed to have used their
12-inch guns with effect at Shushima and
began fire at a range of four miles.

Mayor Jim" graciously comes to
the rescue OF Brother-in-Law
Tommy Allen by assuming to him
self all the prestige Of getting and
spending that $4,000 sem to Ne
braska by the democratic national
committee in 1904. Mayor Jim"
says that the money was paid In three
installments through Brother-in-Law
Allen and that it was all spent in the
state campaign, mot one penny of It
going into the national campaign or to
Mr.. Bryan"
The first question that propounds
itself is. What became of the money?
II it was spent for legitimate cam
paign purposes, why should it not have
gone to the democratic state commit
tee and been accounted for the same
as other campaign contributions used
in behalf of the democratic state
ticket? Why should the money have
been paid out through Mayor Jim"
unless It was to be used in places that
would not seem proper for the state
committee to put It?
The second question which pro-
pounds itself is. Why did not Mayor
Jim" comply with the law requiring
him to file a sworn statement of the
receipts and expenditures of his cam
paign fund? Mr.. Bryan and his fellow
democrats have been prating loud
about campaign publicity, but here we
have Mayor Jim" confessing to the
handling OF a $4,000 pot and keeping
1t dark in defiance of our state law in
tended to provide publicity for this
very thing.
If the money went through Brother
in-Law Tommy Aliens hands surely
Mr.. Bryan must have heard about it,
Mayor "Jim's' assurance to the con-
trary Notwithstanding. But even II
he knew nothing about It at the time,
he knows about 1t now. Here is a
chance for Mr.. Bryan to put in prac-
tice what he is preaching on campaign
publicity by insisting on Mayor Jim
filing his account even at this late day.
