COST OF CAMPAIGN A
0ots Hunters VINE Travel by Rail
Must Have Plenty Of Money
for Expenses.

The cost Of campaigning by spe
sial train is not small, says the Chi
cago Chronicle. A completely
comfortable campaign train must
have a private car for the use Of
the man who is doing the brunt Of
the work and his secretaries and
assistant speakers. Then there
must be another car for the repor
ters of the press associations, the
reporters Of the particular news
papers Of the states through which
the train is passing and for the
campaign committees of the state.
There must be a dining car Man
may live by timed goods alone for
3 day OF two, but a buffet car trip
Of more than two days IL simply
murderous. The Pullman com.
pany charges from $50 TO $50 das
for the use of it's cars. Most rail
roads will attach a special car to
\ regular train provided II full
fares are paid; most railroads
charge 81 a mile for running a spe
ciai train. The commissary de.
partment costs $3.50, more or less,
a day. Speakers who are not can
didates receive from S25 to 800 A
day for their services. Frequently
the entire company Of passengers
goes to a hotel In a city where
there is an overnight stop; 10
some cases the national committee
pays the landlord, at other times
the bills are paid b. the state ~
the city COMMITTEES.

LABOR AND POLITICS
JOHN MITCHELL SAYS THAT A.
F. OF L. FEELS INTERESTED.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, February g.
John Mitchell, president of the United
Mine Workers, when asked today in re-
gard to rumors to the effect that there
had been tnaugurated during the recent
mine workers convention a movement to
indorse the candidacy Of certain aspirants
for the presidency of the United States
and for other political offices. stated that
so far as he knew there was no founda-
ton for these rumors. He said. however
that the members OF the miners union,
together with all trade unionists affiliated
with the American Federation of Labor,
we're interested actively in the election to
all legislative. judicial and administrative
offices of men who were known to be
sympathetic to the reasonable demands
of the wage-earners Of the country.
1T follows, therefore" said Mr.. Mitch
ell, that they would oppose the candidacy
of aspirants for political honors who are
known to be unsympathetic or antago-
nistic to the labor movement.
This activity on the part of the organ
lied and to less extent upon the part Of
the unorganized workers of our country
Is not a partisan movement. l think there
is little possibility of the labor Organiza-
tions entering the political field from the
party standpoint. In common with other
citizens. the workingmen seek the general
welfare of our country, and at the same
is necessary for the protection Of their
own lives and the preservation of their
own health, so far as these ends may be
secured by legislative enactment"

4 FIRES AT SAME TIME
PHILADELPHIA FIREMEN KEPT
BUSY ToDAY-$2oO, 900 LOSS.

PHILADELPHIA. February 6.-Four
fires in this city early today, all burning
at the same time, caused damage esti-
mated at 100000. The first fire started
on the freight steamship Aries Of the

Before the flames on the steamer were

ESTIMATES CUT s1e, 900, 900.
Hearings Finished on Post Office Ap
propriation Bill.

I'm the face OF prevailing business con-
dftions. on which postal revenues are
based. and in view of the large increases
granted last year. ! think it is extremely
improbable that the committee will this
year recommend any general increase of
salaries Of postal employees outside of the
regular classification advances"
This statement was made by Chairman
OVerstreet of the House committee on
post offices and post roads. That COM
mittee today finished the hearings on the
post office appropriation bill. The bill as
1t stands carries total appropriation of
$212. .OO0O 900. which is about $19 600 600 less
than the aggregate estimates submitted
by the department.. The total OF $21o OOO
600, however. may be corrected to some
extent before the bill is reported.
The department. in it's estimates for the
fiscal year ending June 80 1909. included
a sub-total OF between S3,OO0.OOO and
81, 100000 for the following purposes: !:
Transfer of 50 per cent of the postal clerks
and 30 per cent of the carriers from the
81. 100 to $1,000 salary list: increase of
salary for certain clerks above the 81 200
class: amendment of the law so as to
permit the payment to assistant post
masters of salaries ranging from 40 TO 10
per cent of their postmasters' salaries.
Mr.. Overstreet's statement indicates the
unlkelihood of favorable action by the
committee on any OF these estimates

JAPAN'S FRIENDSHIP
BARON TAKAHIRA SENDS US
FRIENDLY MESSAGE.

LONDON. February Ct know. OF no
truer friends Of Japan than the Ameri-
cans, and our excellent relations and
amicable outcome at an early date of the
negotiations still in progress"
Such is the message that Baron Kogoro
Takahira sends to America on the eve
of his departure TO assume the ambassa-
dorship Of Japan at Washington. The
baron will sail for New York from Liv-
erpool next Saturday on the steamer
Etruria.
II am not going to Washington on any
special mission continued the ambassa-
dor in an interview today, but only as
the resident representative Of my coun-
try. am delighted to return to 1.-THE city
and country where I have so many
friends. When L was last in Washington
as. s.minister it was an anxious period. but I
always recall how my anxiety was lizhten-
ed by the friendship and sympathy of the
great American people. I have always
regarded the Americans as our great.
good friends. and friendship In times Of
stress and difficulty Is doubly appreciated.
That Is why 1 say 1 know Japan has no
truer friends than the Americans, who all
along have believed in the justice and
truth OF our aims.
I>iIiiousH certain newspapers nave
spoken In pessmistic vein regarding
our relations. I have never attached the
slightest importance to these utterances,
and with my knowledge of Americas at
titude during the Russo-Japanese war and
of her relations to us in our earlier and
more modest times I have never dreamed
OF the possibility of war between the
United States and Japan. Such a thing is
unthinkable In this period of the world s
history.
II have not particle of doubt regard
ing Americas sympathy toward us, and
| fully believe that a. satisfactory solution
of any questions between the two coun-
tries Will be reached at an early date
without much difficulty"
