BY a premature explosion OF
twenty-five tons of giant powder
at the Panama canal workings ten
Spaniards were killed and fifty
more injured. That is nothing to
what will happen when our siren
uous President sets off the blast
now being placed under the men
wha have charged fraud in the
canal deal.

A STUDY IN OFFICIAL STUPIDITY.

Cause and effect rarely get to-
geth-r in the official mind. Third
Assistant Postmaster General
Lawshe furnishes neat example
in point. He observes with pride
that the rules restricting the mail
ing of second-class matter. though
in force but the first six months
of 1908, had the happy effect of
decreasing it 1S,S3S,266 actual
weight, while he believes they in
huenced the repression of proba
BILE growth equivalent with the
above figure to total saving of
70,000,0O0 pounds in this classifi-
cation.
The Post-Ohice deficiency was
Sl6,S73,222. against S6653. .2S2.
in 1907, the largest loss in the
history of the department. The
revenues grew but 4 20 per cent,
while the year before the restric-
tions went into effect they in
creased 932 per cent.
He figures out that the ''restric-
tions," if second class mailings
are distributed equally through
out the country the coming year"
will show a saving of S4l3.732 81.
and "ultimately"-that is, in four
years, when all the reweighing
has been effected-of Sl,654. $50
An excellent showing against
an SS,000.000 per annum reduc-
tion in earning power. Second
class matter carries advertising.
advertising makes business, busi-
ness makes correspondence and
correspondence swells postal rev.
enues prohtably.
The thought seems wasted on
Lawshe, who observes comiorta
bly, that the effect of the restric-
tions is so widely distributed as
not to be felt in trade or wages
while producing the splendid de-
results has shown

The Olathe Criterion has just
issued very beautiful and COM

tion of the Uncomphagre valley.
In peculiar coincidence the same
issue announces a change in the
ownership of the paper, leaving
the reader to instinciively specu-
late on whether the edition broke
the old owner and compelled him
to sell out or whether he made so
much money out of it that fur

THE esteemed Pueblo Chieftain,
says editorially that the word OF
the president as against that of
certain newspapers anent the
Panama canal deal will be accept
ed by the general public. That
might have been true once. Now
it is not. The word of the presi-
dent is being rapidly cheapened
by the increasing frequency with
which he calls men liars and then
proceeds to prove that they tell
the truth. He once denominated
Lincoln Steffens by that title,
then authorized government
commission to investigate the
matter and they corroborated
every statement of Mr.. Steffens
He said there was no deal to ap-
point several apostate labor
leaders to important Offices in
lieu of their support of Mr.. Taft
then appointed them as soon as
the election was over. There
was time when the word of the
president was accepted over all
denials. 1t is different now.

The total vote cast for presi-
dent shows some peculiar things.
Mr.. Taft ran 1900 votes ahead
of Roosevelt and Bryan ran 1,315.-
211 ahead OF Parker. The total
increase in vote was about that
received by Bryan in excess of
Parker's previous vote. From
this it appears that Mr.. Bryan
was anything but weak candi-
date.

More About That Meet.

The Chicago Daily News of last
evening has the following to say about
the proposed automobile races to be
held on the Crown Point, Lowell and
Orchard Grove course, and while II
contains nothing that has not been al
ready reported in these columns, II
shows that the interest in the AFFAIR
has not waned in the city end of the
line and their desire seems to be as
great as the Lake county people TO
bring the event to a successful ter
mination.
Through his ally in Crown Point
Harold Wheeler. Chairman Gunther has
been advised that the petition that is
being circulated among the farmers
living along the course has met with
great favor and that already it is a
lengthy document. Wheeler declares
that the little town of Lowell, 1900 in
habitants. is all worked up over the
race, and that every voter in the town
has put his name to the paper ask
ing Governor Hanly to order out the
militia to guard the course.
With this string of Lowell sigma
lures attached to it, the petition is be-
ing circulated around the course, which
is twenty miles in length. The farm
ers are signing it without a single
protest, Wheeler says, and if their
views have any weight with the gov
ernor-and it is thought they will
the course part of the race is as good
as secured.
"Advices from the east state that
the powers that be in the American
Automobile association are well pleas
ed with the idea of sending the Thomp-
son cup race out west and the Chicago
Automobile club is credited with bit
of enterprise in being the first to make
application for the contest. 1t is sug-
gested that A. G. Batchelder of the A.
A A racing board. that the Chicago
Automobile club work in harmony with
the Indiana State Automobile associa-
ton and the car manufacturers of the
Hoosier state, which would give the
local people a powerful lever at the
state capitol.
Chairman Gunther expects to have
the petition in hand for the next step
inside of a week, when plans will be
made to bring it before Governor Han
ly for his consideration"

Wants to Ston Race.

To offset the good news from Chicago
concerning the automobile races, it
is said that south county farmer has
started a petition, which, however. is
meeting with poor success, to get
signers against allowing the proposed
course to be used for that day and
race. 1t is certainly showing a lack
of public spiritedness to attempt TO
circulate a petition against an event
which seems to be in favor with the
entire community. and it is to be hoped
that the rumored petition will meet
the fate it deserves. No great harm
can come to the roads and the farm
ers will certainly rest and enjoy one
days good sport and as there is moth
ing against them oral side of the af-
fair any objection to holding it on our
country roads cannot be considered in
any other light than that of a per
sonal lack of interest in the commun-
ity's welfare and a pure piece of con-
trarineSS.
