NAL WHITTHORNE SUGGESTS
FORM OF BALLOT FOR PRIMARY

curt Of civil appeals earnestly favor
the ballot proposed BY me, one Of
Them lis considering the matter" and
/ / failed to see my opponent in regard
t. it. It is possible they may favor
It aIso. Judge Horace Palmers name
II rot placed on the ballot. as he has
"a rr onent nd viii be declared the
pcniree fer the Middle Tennessee
iudgeship of the court of civil appeals.
The form Of the ballot is not so ma
terial to the candidates for governor.
MY reason for making this request
is because am informed that
two of the subcommittee have decid-
ed to have SIXTEEN DIFFERENT
BALLOTS printed and distributed
with SIXTEEN COMBINATIONS" of
the candidates names, thereby rem
dcring it necessary for a voter desir-
ing to vote a printed ballot with
names Of candidates he favors to in
spect and select from sixteen ballots
to secure the one he desires to vote
or to scratch out and insert, on some
other ballot, the names of those he
desires to vote for.
The objection urged to the ballot
suggested by me by member of the
sub committee was that the voters I'M
accustomed to the Australian ballot
would not understand marking the
ballots. It seems to me that less
time and less intelligence will be re-
uuired to vote the cross-mark ballot
with the names of the candidates to
be voted for than to find or vote one
of the sixteen combinations" ballots.
A voter who cannot read can easily
have some friend to place cross-marks
on his ballot. No one of these six
teen combination" tickets bears the
names of ALL the candidates, while
the ore submitted by me does.
Il don't want to lose out in the
shuttle" and wish only fair deal.
I address the committee through
the press because Of the difficulty ex-
perienced in seeing them personally
or collectively, and for the reason that
prompt action should be taken in hav-
ing proper ballots prepared, and the
democratic voters of the state in
formed as to what kind of ballots are
to be used in the primary election.
| earnestly hope immediate atten-
ten will be given this matter, and
that all concerned be advised of the
decision of the committee.
Very respectfully,
w. J. WHITTHORNE.

HIS CORNER" iN MAY CORN
COMES TO A VERY PROF.
TABLE END.
MARKET is HIGHLY NERVOUS
Excitment Runs High in Al a
The Grain Pits.-Very lrreg-
ular Market.

CHICAGO, MAY 29.-The corner
in May corn which has been run by
]. A. Patten, Of this city, and his
associates came to an end today and
the "Patten crowd" is generally cred
tied with having made about S. Co.,
OOO on the deal, although it is admit.
ted that all estimates are largely
guess work. Mr. Patten personally
declared today that he did not know
how much had been made.
The market today was highly irreg-
ular and nervous in wheat. corn and
oats. May wheat ranged between
s1.O6 and Sill and closed at $11Ola.
Corn sold anywhere between TIC and
.S25sc and closed at soc to SO15c Oas
ranged between 5115c and $3.50, and
closed at 52Ac.
Excitement ran high today in all IF
the grain pits when the weakness was
greatest. Values changed with such
bewildering rapidity that traders were
puzzled. Shorts We're anxious to COW
er, and brokers for the bull leaders
had. at times, plenty of grain to SELL
1t is claimed that the shorts have de-
livered to Mr.. Patten and his friends
not far from 100000 bushels of corn
and close to S,S00,O0O bushels of oats
The corner" has been largely in
May corn. and Patterns holdings OF
this option were accumulated between
55c and 60c Subsequent buying
necessary to support the market al
critical periods, raised the average
purchase price to about &c bushel.
The deal began early in October
1907. In that month May corn sold
up to 65Hc. The financial troubles
which set in about that time tumbled
the price to 531sc. After the inan
cial furry had abated the price of Nav
corn advanced slowly. During Feb
ruary it sold up to 621ac and in March
at 6S1sc. Since then it has continued
to climb and shorts have secured the
country for corn to deliver on their
May contracts. Immense quantities
of the grain have been delivered to
Patten, but he has paid for it all and
stood ready at all times to
take more.
Early in May the shorts com
menced desperate efforts to fill the
elevators with corn, and
many of the Western railroads issued
rush orders to apply on all corn
shipments. Despite this, however
the Patten crowd" were not com.
PEELED to let go, nor was their hold on
the market weakened to any appar'
ent extent.

Second Trial of Thaw.

The second trial of Harry Thaw
for the murder of Stanford White
on the night of fJune 26, 1906, has
been nearly Il year after the be-
ginning of the first trial. The de-
fence will be temporary insanity,
new evidence will be introduced
and there Is promise of ''mnay new

scandal and obscenity. However,
the court room contains seats for
only l4O persons, including news
paper men, and therefore the shock.
Ing details will be published less
widely than they were year ago.

Postal Banks in France.

In view of the recommendation
of Postmaster General Meyer, that
system of postal savings banks
be established in this country,
much interest attaches to a report
recently submitted to the govern
ment at Washington by Frank II.
Mason, United States Consul Gen.
eral at Paris. From this it ap-
pears that the postal savings banks
in France have 4,345, 446 deposi-
tors and 1867, $40, 432 in deposits.
The fact that the private. and
municipal banks have {, ,422, 325 de-
positors and deposits to the amount
of 1866, ,953,574 is no Indication
that the postal savings backs are
not entirely successful. In fact
the figures show that the postal
banks are doing what was expect
cd of them-encouraging small de-
posits. While the private and
municipal savings, banks have ON
deposit not far from three times as
much money as the postal banks,
they have not nearly twice as
many depositors.
The purpose of postal savings
banks IS. or ought to be, to incul-
cate habits of thrift among those
who have not been accustomed to
save anything, by making 1t con-
venient for them to put away small
sums where safety is guaranteed
by the government.
Analysis of the figures will show
that it Is the smaller depositors
that is to say the poorer people
who use the postal savings banks.
The average credit of each deposi-
tor in the postal savings banks of
France is trifie more than $50.
The average credit of each deposi
tor in private or municipal sav-
ings bank is tride less than $40.
Postmaster General Meyer has
distinctly stated that bis purpose is
not to run an opposition tosexit
ing savings banks. The postal
savings banks, if established ac-
cording to Mr.. Meyers plan. will
pay lower interest but will offer
places of safe-keeping for the saw
ngs of those who have little con-
fdence in banks generally-like
many of the foreigners among us
but unlimited faith in the govern
ment.
AS everything that will promote
thrift and sensible economy il to
be encouraged. Postmaster Gem
eral Meyers recommendation
should receive the careful and in
teIIigent consideration of Con-
gress.

Serns Newspaper Pub

Order No. 90l, in q e December
1900 u ). Postal Guide contains
he following instructions whicb
very materially interests newspaper
publishers and their subscribers.
1t says;
IA reasonable time will be al
owed publishers to secure renew
us of subscriptions, but unless
subscriptions are expressly re
renewed after the term for which
hey are paid, within the following
periods:
'Dailes within three months,
'Trlweekhes within six months,
'Weeklies within one year,
"Monthlies within four months,
"Quarterlies within six months,
they shall not be counted in the
legitimate list of subscribers, and

shall not be accepted for mailing

one cent Il pound, but may be
mailed ut the transient second
class postage rate for one cent for
each four ounces or fraction there
If, prepaid by stamps affixed
The right of publisher to extend
credit for subscriptions to his pub
llcation is not denied or question
ed but his compliance or noncom-
plance with this regulation will be
taken into consideration in de-
termining whether the publication
is entitled to transmission at the
second class postage rates"
This is specific and means that
publishers will be obliged to cut off
all subscribers who are one year
in arrears. If this is not done the
right of the publication to pass
through the mails as second class
matter will be questioned, and
which, If denied, would mean the
payment of more postage by the
publisher for the sending of pa
per than the subscription to the
same would amount to.
Hence subscribers must not
blame editors who refuse to extend
credit beyond one year.

Information concerning the wealth

t's more money than all the pow
9rs of Europe combined expeud
annually for this purpose--so IL
stands to reason that he ought t.
nave the best weather bureau in
the world. Sometimes we get a
little bit upset when the weather
predictions don't hit the mark, but
after all we have to admit that the
aggregate results, taken year after
year, are really wonderful.
Did you ever stop to think how
much money the weather man saves
for the people of the country
Well, some years ago large in
surance company, which thought
the weather bureau was overrated,
started out to gather statistics on
this subject. They came to the
conclusion that through the warn
ings of the weather man no less
than $50, 100000 was saved to the
people of the United States each
year. Pretty good return for an
outlay OF million and half
year, isn't it.
Probably the most important
work which the weather bureau is
now conducting is the study of the
sun, which is being made at Mount
Weather, which is a peak in the
Blue Ridge, about siXty-fve miles
from Washington. The weather
bureau officials came to the con-
clusion that the proper develop
ment of their service depended up
on determining the relation of the
great orb to the meteorological
conditions of the earth. 1t holds,
they believe, the,key to the myster-
les of the cyclone, drought, tor
rental flood, etc., and they are
now seeking that key.
