to any part of the United States has
done much to promote the cordial rela-
lions that exist with this country's
northern neighbor. The same effect
must follow a similar policy with the
United Kingdom, and, especially, if the
lower rate now established should
some time be extended to the colonies
of the empire of Edward VII. That is
the true way to unite the members of
the English-speaking countries of the
globe. Bonds of mutual interest that
are natural surpass in power those that
are based on convenience of merchants
or international convention.
The hour of perpetual world peace
may not be at hand but a long step is
taken toward that supremacy desirable
end by such mail arrangements as
America and Great Britain have made
for themselves and begin to enjoy.
They need no Anglo-American alliance
in set terms.

RAILROAD WRECKS

The telegraph dispatches have been
telling of railroad wrecks with one or
two victims for several days past. One
was reported from Kansas City re-
Gently in which the dining car of
train was overturned and the conduc-
tor was painfully injured. There was
worse wreck though in Montana.
Twenty or more persons were killed
and many others Injured. A collision
between a passenger train and a
freight is the classification. Inability
of freight brakeman to warn the
passenger engineer in time is the ex-
PLANTATION. 1t is little excuse that a
snowstorm was in progress at the
time. What of the boosted dispatcher
who is said to have the trains in his
hands as he sits In his office? Why
doesn't he make sure that he has
placed one safely on a siding before
he lets the other approach the danger
point? And what of the passenger en-
gineer who knows he is to meet a
freight at a given siding? Why didn't
he slow down as he approached the
place. especially as he might have
known that the snow would have de-
AdyeQ lHS 1ISlSHl ana narrowed the
margin of time at the meeting point?
These and many other pertinent
questions suggest themselves But the
conclusion is forced upon one that as
long as the operation of railroad
trains is in the hands of human be-
ings there are bound to be wrecks. No
amount of care will overcome the
frailties of human nature, but it would
seem that If sufficient safeguards were
thrown around the running of trains
the number of wrecks could be ma
terially reduced

Cholera in Russia.

Germany was not at all pleased
when the United States decided that
Spanish misrule of Cuba had become
an intolerable nuisance. in addition to
being a cruel wrong in some of its ap-
plications to the Cuban people, but it
is an interesting fact that the Berlin
and other German newspapers are be-
ginning to talk about Russia and the
cholera in about the same terms in
which ours used to discuss Cuba and
the yellow fever.
OF course they do not say in so
many words that if Russia doesn't fol-
low the example of other nations pre-
tending to be civilized. and put an end
to one of the most dangerous, though
one of the most easily preventable of
all diseases, Germany will have to step
in and do the work herself, with an
incidental overthrow of the Russian
government. They do say, however,
that 1t has become we'll nigh unendur-
able that all Europe should annually
be threatened with a cholera epidemic
merely because Russia neglects the
sanitary measures requisite for stamp
ing out the infection within her bor-
ders.
These perfectly justifiable express
sions of Impotence by the German
press will be re-echoed with varying
degrees of emphasis in the rest of the
continent, and they may reasonably ex-
cite in the Russian revolutfonists a
tervention of one kind or another in
their favor.
For the cholera in Russia. as was
the yellow fever in Cuba. is a part of
the general system of misrule, and the
autocracy, struggling for its own exist
ence is not devoting much thought to
what it considers a trivial detail of the
situation as a whole. 1t happens, how
ever, to be the detail which directly
affects the neighboring nations much
L. i
ishment to Siberia of Russian rebels or
the crushing burdens of the Russian
peasants.
The Cubans undoubtedly owe their
release from Spain much more to the
fact that Spain did not free Havana
from yellow fever than to the severity
with which their revolts against what
was in effect alien exploitation were
met In like manner the cholera may
give at last to the Russian people the
freedom which they seem to be un-
able to win unaided.-New York
Times.

Editor Sessions, of the Kansas City
Journal, says Dave Leahy, of the
Wichita Eagle never wrote but one
piece of poetry, and his subject was.
"A Splinter From Ny Sweatheart's
Wooden Leg" and it is said to be a
Allen Whites poem. "A Dream of an
Unborn Kiss."-El Dorado Republican.
Wichita is rather proud of it's credit
just now. The city clerk, r. N. Door,

$500 and $500 in cash locked up in his

Wichita issues some bonds, and to turn
over the city bonds to the parties put
ting up the money. Wichita issued
several hundred thousand dollars
worth of bonds in the past year and
all were readily taken.
Dave Leahy has located a COW in
Wichita that goes on a spree. The anil
NAL was tied to an apple tree for half
a day. Lying around in the grass were
a lot of windfallen apples, and most of
them were overripe. She proceeded to
consume all of the apples that the
length of the rope and her neck would
permit In the afternoon the owner OF
the COW, a Mr.. Skinner, went to the
orchard to bring her home, and found
her lying on the ground. apparently
dead to the world. She was breathing
heavily and snoring. Persistent jabs in
the ribs failed to arouse her. So a
veterinary was called. After looking
her over the doctor gave his diagnosis:
THE COW, sir, is very, very drunk.
She had eaten too many of the fer
mented, overripe apples. Medicine was
applied, and her frequent trips to the
water trough later convinced the owner
that she was suffering from that dark
brown taste"

The Truth About MulIahs.

Ever since the beginning of the
now constant troubles in India, good
deal has been heard about the Null
labs.
A Mullah, or, as it is more properly
written, Mollah, is a title given in In
dia and throughout the east generally,
to a religious leader of any descrip-
ton.
Thus the sultan of Turkey is a Mol
-lah, because he is the supreme head
of the Moslem world. The hostile
Somali leader, who caused us so much
anxiety between 1904 and 1905, and
whose name occasionally crops up
even now in the daily papers, was also
others.
To most of the more conspicuous
among them we prefix the adjective
mad This, however. must not be
taken to mean that they are insane,
the word being used rather in its ORR
entail Specification of inspired
The influence welded by the Mol
labs. who are now stirring up against
us the border tribes of Afghanistan. is
enormous. Clad in their sacred robes,
bearing aloft the green standard of
Islam, they go up and down the val
leys shrilling the Mohammedan war
cry. and woe be to him who refuses
to heed.
The person of the Mollah is sacred.
True, the Amir the other day was re-
ported to nave ordered lndt any OF
them caught preaching the jehad
(holy way) should have their tongues
torn out. But if he really issued such
an edict-which is extremely doubtful
it was merely meant for European
ears. Not even the mighty Habibul-
lah himself would care to lay sac
religious finger on one of these sanity
personages. If he were to venture
such an unheard-of thing, vengeance
would surely overtake him. For it is
the cardinal principle of the Ultima

one of their number can only be
atoned for by the death Of the fndi-

you really mean to be a good boy, It

ANG1o-AN1ER1cAN POSTAGE.

One of the greatest epochs in the
world history dates from October !.
The United States and Great Britain
have two-cent letter postage between
their respective people. Penny post, the
English call it, for the penny of the
United Kingdom is the equivalent of
two American cents.
Here is an instance in which two
nations unite to gain for themselves
a splendid victory over natural preju-
dices and the material of time and
space. Nothing tends more to make
countries friendly toward each other
than ease and volume of exchanges by
mail or goods. Likings spring up in the
path of commerce in which both sides
profit.
There are persons living who can re-
member when the service performed
now for cents by mail cost 40 cents.
Such is the progress made in lifetime
toward cheap mail rates. The fact that
mail rates to Canada are the same as
