]. G. Phelps Stokes is true to his
profession. He accepts the socialist
nomination for assemblyman of the
Sth New York district. The working
socialists have always doubts about
the "parlor" socialists, since those are
in common parlance on Easy street"
and have no personal reason for revolt
against present conditions. 1t is al
ways difficult to convince the victims
of social inequalities that anybody who
does not suffer from such evils can
possibly be honest in desiring to re-
adjust society. But they had to accept
Phelps Stokes. An exceedingly inter-
esting meeting was held down at Ed
ridge and Grand streets the other
night, where the Young friends So
cialist literary society" was at work,
and boy of 13 years was the orator
That boy was vehement for woman
suffrage, and, for certain purposes, for
children's suffrage. He was moved
by the playground issue, and thought
the boys and girls,-"and our moth
ers, Ought to have a vote for that
particular purpose. Whether it would
be wise to give children a ballot or
not-there is a deal of encouragement
in the outburst of this East-side boy
for large civic interests.

Ex-Mayor Thomas NJ. Osborne of
Auburn, one Of the public service com
missioners of New York state, has
come out for Bryan. He voted against
him in 1896 and 1900, but cannot find
ANY convincing reason" why he
should oppose him this year. What
especially moves him is Mr.. Taft in
his character of Roosevelt dummy
The spectacle of this man, meekly
holding on to his job while spending
his time running about the country
making speeches as an heir apparent
for the Republican nomination; sit
ting quietly by while his party was
forced into nominating him by a
threat of Taft or me-" and even
afraid to make his speech OF accept
anee without his having it first o. K d
by the autocrat OF Oyster Bay. II this
is the kind of statesman that Mr.
Tafts experience" has made him
then prefer the result Of some other
experience. ] cannot see how any
selfrespeeting Democrat could vote
for Mr.. Taft.

The newest death-dealing device Is
a gun invented by a Harlem mar,
which New York Times reporter saw
discharge 400 shots in a minute with
great accuracy. The idea, an applica.
tion of centrifugal force, Is old, but
previous experiments have not been
successful The inventor got his idea
from seeing a fiy-wheel burst. Thus
far he has made only small model,
but with a wheel six feet in diameter
he hopes TO shoot $4,000 halfinch bul.
lets a minute, with a killing range
Of 1000 feet. Military rifles, TO be
sure, carry 10 times as far, but he
thinks a rapid-hre sho-t-range gun
will be in great demand for checking
an attack, for quelling mobs and fog
disccuraging smugglers Clearly the
Canton police ought to be provided
with such a weapon.

PROTECTING THE PUBLIC.

The action of Mayor Turnbun in
suggesting that an inspector of fruits
and vegetables be appointed in con

to be known as the City sealer OF
Weights and Measures is a good one,
Some years age Canton had an officer
Of this kind and great amount OF
good was accomplished during his ad
ministFation and why this work was
dropped cannot be fully explained by
those coguizant with affairs about the

The appointment of Harvey CARRIER
as one of the five members of the ma
tional Democratic advisory committee
certainly indicates where Mr.. Bryan
stands in the Johnson and CARRIER
fight for control Of the Democratic
organization in Ohio. Mr.. CARRIER and
John C. Welty have for many years
enjoyed the absolute confidence of
the great commoner. Mr.. Weltys
friends are naturally jubilant over the
appointment of Mr.. CARRIER as it is
known that it was made at the per
sonal request of Mr.. Bryan.

A RE MINDER.

[From the Topeka (Kan) Journal
Frank H. Hitchcock and other man
ayers. of the Taft campaign announce
that they will devote most of their
energies to the western states. They
think the East is safe for the Republi-
can candidates. That's just what the
manager of the second Ben Harrison
campaign thought, with the result that
Cleveland succeeded in carrying some
eastern states and walked away with
the victory.

HEARST IN HIS OWN STATE.
(From the Rrooklyn rimeal

(From the Brooklyn Times.)
Hearst is now in Chicago calling
upon the country to do away with
the two older parties, and make the
independence league the vehicle of
popular reforms. Has Mr.. Hearst for
gotten that he himself destroyed the
third-party movement when he sold
it out of this state to Charles 2. Muir
ply, in return for Democratic nom
ination for himself for governor?
Then 1t was that his party received
its death thrust. This year it will be
but the skeleton of what it once was
in this the Empire state. and with its
destruction here win go It's Gestruc-
tion elsewhere.

once more, am with friends"

GOOD ROADS.

The postoffico department is seri-
pie in the matter OF better roads. The
establishment of rural free delivery
service was made contingent on the
maintenance of highways over which
the mails could readily be transported
by the carriers. Pledges are eXacted
from the subscribers along proposed
routes that the highways will be main
tanned. 1t has been the unfortunate
ment that in a great many cases these
pledges have been forgotten or neg
|lected almost from the time the service
was established.
The effort now made is accompanied
by a promise from the postoffice au-
thorities to the effect that rural free
delivery service will be discontinued
over routes along which the roads are
not kept in condition to be passable
at all times.
The hardships endured by the mail
carrier are but a small fraction of the
economic loss due to poor roads. The
United States, with all it's tremendous
energy and unaccounted wealth, is no
%torious for having the worst roads that
exist under civilized government. No
reason for this exists save the indif-
ference of the people themselves Too
much of the spirit of the Arkansas
negro is exhibited. When it rained
he could not fix the leak in his cabins
roof, and when it didn't rain it didn't
leak.
If the P~ostoffice department can
succeed in .arousing the farmers of
American from their lethargy on the
road question, it will have served a
purpose of much greater assistance to
the social life of the people than even
the establishment of rural free de-
livery.

OLD-A0E PENS IONS.

The British chancellor of the eX-
chequer is modestly asking his gov
eminent where it expects him to get
the $4,000, 900 annually which he is
required under the provisions of a re-
Gently enacted law to pay out in old
into effect on the first day of the new
year, and reports already indicate that
every British citizen Of the specified
age is preparing to share in the bene-
fits of the measure.
BY the provisions of the law each
British subject of 40 years of age is
entitled TO a pension, under certain re-
strictions. He must show that his
yearly earnings are less than $155;
that he has always worked accord
ing to his ability, opportunity and
need" that he has not been impris-
med without the option of a fine and
that he has not been convicted of in
ebriety. If the applicant meets these
requirements he is, entitled to receive
a pension of $1.25 a week for the rest
of his life.
Precautions against fraud are pro-
vided by a system of pension boards
and examiners and inspectors and the
administrative demands for the en-
forcement of the law will cost a pretty
penny. 1t is the most elaborate old
age pension scheme that has been I'M
dertaken by any nation, and the re-
suits will be watched with interest,
particularly as the taxation burdens Of
the British people are already exceed
ingly high.

HORSE THIEVES IN NEW YORK

An old grievance OF New York business
men is the activity of horse thieves.
City grocers at the meeting of their state
association, in jamestown, complained, as
their worst enemy, of the = thieves who
steal their horses while their clerks are
inside houses delivering goods, There We're
in New York City in the census year
1900 horses. There We're in all Arizona
only lO6, 900, and in New Mexico 1900.
There are probably more horse thieves in
New York than in the two territories
combined; yet one of the most popular
spectacles in New York is always the
mimic pursuit OF horse thieves, Arizona
style, never New York style.-New York
World.
1t requires information of this kind
to remind the members of the Old Set
lers' association in the west that there
used to be such creatures as horse
thieves in this country, just as the
occasional exploits of highwaymen in
New York or Boston recall the wild
and woolly" days of the omniverous
west.
Out in this country the horse thief

the great aux. While he flOuTished to
some extent in the earlier days, the
unwritten law wal against him, Prior
to the days when the workmen came
along and applied a coat of varnlsh to
western civilization, officers of the
law were scarce or scared, and the
pioneers found il necessary to conduct
their own schools of instruction in the
difference between meum and teum.
The man who forgot the customs Of
the country and stole a horse prac-
tically removed the prop that sustained
HIS life. When caught the rope cure
was administered and a second treat
ment was vel found necessary. The

the ice continent instead OF proceed
ing to the Arctic circle along the west
ern coast OF Greenland, as had been
the custom of all his predecessors.
Reports received at Copenhagen
state that before Erickson and two
others of his party were drifted away
from the mainland on an ice floe. they
had explored and charted practically
all of the northern interior of Green
land, but exposure and hardships
brought death to every member of the
party and nothing will be gained as
a result of their explorations. Erich
sens fate brings up a new question
whether it is worth while to contribute
human lives to the ice-locked Arctic
each year. Tho sum of the worlds
useful knowledge would not be greatly
increased If the north pole were To-
Gated and labeled and a complete and
accurate map and survey made of the
entire frozen region.
