Thus snubbed by the young man
whom he had held in his arms, an i'm
perious as we'll as an imperial infant,
the old statesman sought sanctuary In
silence. But he had said that which
had been In his mind to say, and he
was satisfied. Weakness was not his
meter, yet he could play the part of
the faithful servant, humbly loyal
through injustice and misunderstood

knew 1t to be the one effective role.

head and STOPPING shoulders which

"You have led me to suppose that

the case, isn't it?'
Count Won Breitstein would have pre-
ferred that the question had not been
asked. He had intended to convey the
impression which the emperor had re-
ceiyed, but he had not clothed 1t in
actual statement. Luckily the prince
was as clever as he was good looking,
and he could be trusted as an actor;

been still more reluctant to commit

DESTROYING WEALTH.

F OLLOWING the example of many of the
II trusts which curtail production the Farm
ers' Union, an organization composed of many
cotton planters of the South, is urging them to
produce less cotton. AS result of the efforts
of the union, many farmers are blowing up ten
per cent. of their acreage planted in cotton. By
this destruction of part of the growing crops it
is intended to limit the supply of cotton and
thereby increase its price. Trusts have adopted
the same tactics. They reduce their output in
order to increase price on a false assumption all
though such assumption is generally considered
to be true that there is production.
This practice OF limiting the supply of COM
modities is false in economics as it is in morals.
The wealth of country consists in its commodi-
ties There is real over production Until
the reasonable wants of the people for food and
clothing and other necessities are supplied, there
can be overproduction.
The people need the products of the Southern
cotton fields as they desire the products of the
manufacturers but distribution of wealth is
defective that the means and rewards of labor
open to the great mass of the people do not per-
init them to secure these commodities.

TELEPHONE MERCER.

X EGRETS are expressed in the newspapers
- of the lower counties that the Diamond
State Telephone Company has passed into the
control of the Bell Company, with the consequent
removal OF the offices from Dover TO Philadel-

Company by the Bell people but illustrates the
general trend Of public utilities towards centrali-

BRYAN MEN IN MARYLAND.

It HE Bryan men Of Maryland are reported to
II be indignant because they we're gagged at
the Democratic State Convention, which elected
delegates to the national convention
The Bryan men did not propose to sit still in
the Maryland convention as they did in the Della
ware convention They had prepared to bring
the question of the Endorsement of Bryan before
the convention for a direct expression, but the
body was adjourned in hurry and the Bryan
supporters squelched.
We do not see, however, why the Bryan men
should be distressed if the reports of the gains
Bryan is making in the rounding up of delegates
are true But the question may be pertinent as
to what will become of the Democratic cam
pagns in the State whose leaders seem TO be so
hostile to Bryan that they object to the mention
of his name in their presence.

PH1LApELpH1A,s FURRY.

Fl EAVY guns were fred yesterday in the
Il Il Philadelphia conflict between the Hon.
Max Kaufman. former secretary of Mayor Rey-
burn. on one side. and the Hon. Jim McNichol,
The boss of the gang. on the other side.
II Envelopes. according 10 the statement OF Mr.
Kaufman. that he fell out with the gang and
was deposed by Mayor Reyburn from his tat job
zs secgtary 10 the mayor because he warned the
mayor against signing one Of the gangs alleged
plundering ordinances.
OF course, this was a dangerous thing for
Kaufman or any other man TO do, if he wished
70 hold Job under the gang in Philadelphia But
the mayor replies that there was nothing plum
dering about the ordinance and that Mr. kautt-
mann was mistaken.
McNichol, however, evidently needs the aid OF
able attorneys, for he has summoned the leading
legal stars OF the gang TO push his suit against
Kaufman and TO defend himself against the suit
brought by Kaufman.
incidentally in the skirmishing much soiled
linen has been brought 10 light and stories OF the
fixing OF juries in connection with gang cases
in the Philadelphia courts are repeated.
No doubt Kaufman will fight with all the
Vigor that Judge Gordon, his counsel, can COM
mand, but suppose the gang should FIX the jury
against him, where would Kaufman end? And
what is the use in having gangs unless juries and
the administration OF justice in courts can be
reached From present indications we would
think the prospects are that Kaufman will
come out Of the small end of the horn.
1t may be true that he is loaded with "sensa-
tional stuff" about the gang which he proposes TO
explode. but what might be considered sensation
al in other cities would be taken as a matter OF
course in Philadelphia

SENTIMENT FOR TAFT.

THE least hopeful Of the contests OF the TAFT
i men for the seating Of delegates to the
Chicago convention is reported TO have been de-
cided Yesterday in favor of TAFT Messages from
Chicago say that it is now all over but the shout
ing and that Taft is sure to be nominated prob
ably on the first ballot
Along with this report is another one that the
friends of Taft, headed by President Roosevelt,
will decide upon the platform Recently there
was rumor that the allies or 'reactionaries
would mould the resolutions to be adopted by the
convention, but alas for the allies, that story
has Jared just as similar statements OF the reae-
tionaries' have passed away.
