The Short Line has adopted a new
rule for its local agents. They now
must weigh all freight received at
the local offices. no attention is paid
to the weights from the shipping
point but bills are made out on the
basis of what 1t weighs at the re-
ceiving point. It is estimated that
there is saving Of $10e per month
at the Caldwell Office and $1,000 Der
month at the Boise Office.

those who are back Of the movement
claim to have already assurances from
enough Of the most representative citi-
zens Of the State of their willingness to
join the league and TO insure its becom-
ing an influential organization. 1t is
stated by the supporters of Judge Gray
that they are not actuated by hostility to
other candidates, but simply desire the
Democratic party to name as its candi-
date a man whom all Democrats in the
South and in the doubtful Northern States
can vote for without hesitation.

A NEW BUSINESS IN NEW YORK.

a NEW industry has developed in Gotham.
4 Towards divorces and similar incidents
in high and low life have the sensations of late
in New York been running To meet this de-
mand it appears that some persons are willing to
become subjects for pictures and Stories" Of
scandal, provided they are paid for posing as the
principals in the case.
The other day in a suit for divorce those con-
cerned would not tell about themselves or give
up their photographs unless they received good
round sum from the paper that was searching
for the sensation
If the desire to read about the divorce scandals
continues we may have coterie of professional
seekers for divorce who can concoct romantic
stories of their lives have pretty pictures" taken
and then sell the Stories and the pictures to the
newspapers that handle that kind of sensation.
1t seems to us that the proper method of deal
ing with these divorce suits would be to hold the
lawyers who figure in them to strict account
They should be held responsible not only for
suits of this Character but also in other divorce
suits that they bring in which innocent persons
are unusty accused.

OHIO DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION.

ID ARTLY pleased and partly displeased with
4 the result of the Democratic convention in
Ohio are the so-called Democratic reactonaries
The nomination of Judson Harmon for governor
and an instructed delegation from the State for
him for president was what they hoped for. They
got half the apple. Mr. Harmon was named for
governor. The convention also instructed for
Bryan. It seems to have been a compromise
between Tom Johnson, the Bryan leader, and his
opponents. Johnson was for Bryan and against
Harmon.
With longing eyes have the reactionaries gazed
on Ohio They profess to believe that Ohio this
year is anything but a sure Republican State.
Foraker has been in a row with Taft, they argue,
and therefore Foraker will stick knife into the
Republican ticket if Taft is to be the presiden-
tial nominee.
We suspect however, that the strength of
Foraker has been muci over-estimated. He was
picked by the opponents of Taft among the Re
lpublicans as the man who was to halt the Taft
boom and put quietus upon President Roose-
velt
Beyond making considerable noise Foraker
has failed. He may make more noise should
Taft be nominated, as now seems probable, but
that Ohio, even with Foraker cutting and slash
ing, would 60 against Taft is improbable For
aker's knife, even shonld he use it, would not
have keen edge.

NEW YORK AND JUDGE GRAY.

TURING the week for a short while the
II Handv-Ford political combine of this State
transferred its scene of operations to New York
cstv. where il conferred with the Big Wigs IN
-erzr6 10 the nomination of Judge Gray Tor
r-esident The Delawareans, from their point OF
view. carried great deal of sound Gray talk,
which they unloaded upon the New Workers.
some time ago Judge Marvel and other Demo
cratic leaders also visited Gotham in the interest
oi the Gray boom.
They ali recognize the fact that much depends
upon the action of the New York Democracy,
which now appears TO be completely under the
domination of Murphy, the Tammany boss. Just
what Murphy will do is always probematic lie
viii make the deal which he thinks is most desir-
able for Tammany Hall in its local politics. Tam
many is never seriously concerned in a national
victory for the Democratic party.
Naturally one would expect that the New York
Democrats would be for Judge Gray or Governor
Johnson. Judge Gray, for many reasons, should
be their preference They know him, or they
ought to know him. and they know little OF Gov
ernor Johnson The Governor Johnson candi-
idacy has come into the light only OF late He
was picked as a faint possibility around whom
the opposition to Mr.. Bryan could center
Judging from all the talk of the New York
newspapers and by the expressions of prominent
men, Judge Gray should be the favorite, and the
New York delegates should be expected to vote
for him. But very often, especially in political
matters the New York newspapers and the
prominent men Of that city do not represent the
political notions of the bosses. They make a
great commoton, but they fail to count when the
delegates are chosen.
If the New Workers who 60 to Denver could be
got behind the Gray boom, the Delawareans
would be potent factor in the Denver conven-
ton.

sons for it have been frequently set forth. No
valid objections have been heard.
The case, so far its presentation is con-
cerned ought to be closed. Congress should act
at this season. There is no reason why action
should be delayed until another term of Con-
gress. No one knows what the future will bring
forth.
Now that we have started to secure the canal
there should be no let up on the assumption that
nothing can be done at this session. Persons
who think nothing can be done now are often
convinced that nothing can be done at any time
Iq fact this project has been under more or less
discussion for many years The canal plan is
known to public men. The advantages of the
proposed waterway are readily conceded.
From New England to North Carolina is
succession of artificial waterways that, with
comparatively little expenditure by the govern
ment would give us a complete inland waterway
along the Atlantic coast We should work for
this inland waterway persistently and now. The
beginning of this work is at the Chesapeake and
