From the NeT Ysrk Mail.
While the postal regulations wisely pro-
vide that certain dangerous substances
required for use IN medical research and
other scientific work may be sent through
the mails Il properly packed and de-
scribed. there Is. nevertheless. a consid-
cradle element Of peril in the transmits
sion OF such parcels. Take a recent in
stance by way or illustration. A package
containing thirteen Walls filed with living
germs Of diphtheria and tuberculosis, az
dressed TO a member of the Kansas State
board OF health at Topeka. was stolen
from the mails in that city by a thief
who evidently supposed its contents were
valuable Three DAYS later the vials were
found broken in a side street. where. pre-
sumably their contents had been scattered
on the ground member Of the board
OF health declares that there were enough
germs in the Walls 10 depOpulate the en-
tire state. The possibility OF scattering
pestilence by mail is so clearly shown
in this case that il is worth considing
whether the transmission Of such parcels
should not be more vigorously restricted
than IT is at present.

A Suuare-dealing Party Boss.

The extent 70 which the doctrine Of the
square deal has taken hold OF the West
is exemplihed in a recent issue OF the
Kansas City Star. An fnsurgent news
paper independent and courageous, and
the foe OF machine politics. IT neverthe-
less strongly urges the election to Con-
gress OF a party boss in St. Louis who
has been nominated by the Democrats.
Tom Kinney is this candidate. He is
not only party boss, but a saloon pro-
prietor.
Why does Editor Nelson's paper think
such a man is needed in Congress? Be
cause ne is "a square man with a square
record"
Service in the State senate has proved
his worth. The Star says:
Wherever Kinney is placed. he will
vote, as he has voted, to give the aver
age man a better deal. Especially has
his care, as a legislator. been for chill
dren who have not had a fair show. He
Is the author OF the improved Missouri
law against child labor. and was a chief
supporter Of the juvenile court laws and
OF other statutes affecting delinquent or
unhappy children. Senator Kinney has a
frst-class understanding, born of per-
sonal experience, OF the hard row that a
big percentage Of the people have TO hoe.
When YOU get a man of that sort OF
sympathies combined with personal In
tegrity. you have good man for
lawmakers job. That Is Tom Kinney's
description from his record"
A square man with a square record"
is bound to win, because he deserves TO
win. and, therefore this long-range IN
PRODUCTION gives Washington an interest
in Tom Kinney. which it viii cultivate
when he reaches Congress. Men OF his
type are not rare in the national law
making body-the countrys present i'm
preston Notwithstanding more OF
them are needed.

The Anglo-Germar Naval Race.

In spite OF the fact that we have the
assurance Of the officials Of the English
government that the race in building
Dreadnoughts with Germany is over and
that there is no more war scare, a number
Of people believe that Germany is contem-
plating an increased naval building pro-
gramme in order to get ahead Of Great
Britain.
A dispatch from Berlin declares that
Germany has revised her naval pro-
gramme in order, slyly. to gain a lap in
the race for supremacy. for whether
there is any need at all for these two
powerful nations TO fight. the people Of
both countries would feel easier, it seems,
II. on paper, at least. their naval strength
were invincible. During the last electoral
campaign in England it was officially de-
clared that Great Britain had no intention
Of repudiating the two-to-one standard
which had always been her mark in naval
construction. and there is no reason TO
think that the British people Will allow
the government to change it's mind
The present tempest in a teapot comes
about through the fact that Germany has
recently sold TO Turkey two of her an
Client and superannuated war vessels. To
replace these. it is charged. the Ger
man government will ask for the money
for two more Dreadnoughts to take the
place Of the ships that were sold. The ma
val plans already adopted by Germany call
for starting the construction Of four new
Dreadnoughts. These four. which are TO
be laid down next year. were provided
for by the plans and the legislation OF
1900. at the time when Germanys naval
programme for the future was adopted.
The proposition to add TO this pro-
gramme two more Dreadnoughts comes
not from the government. but from Count
Won Reventlow. the head Of the Navy
League. a lingo organization with no on
cial status. It is for the Reiehstag. and
not any private individual or league, to
decide whether Germany's naval pro-
gramme shall be extended.
II the Reichstag should decide to re-
place two worthless ships with two OF the
latest models in battle snip architecture.
that fact might. OF course. revive the war
talk in Great Britain and set that COM
try with feverish haste 40 revising her
navy plans accordingly. But. as matter
OF fact, the race has reached the point
where both nations seem willing TO call
q halt for a time, and in the race for
shipbulhing supremacy TO maintain the

the height OF the worlds highest noun

not mean that IL was lower than that
but that so many things operated TO
prevent accuracy in the trigonomerical
measurement Of the summit that the
height might be only 800 feet or as
much as 231iO feet

those values would have left Everest

AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF ALLEN JAY

Lord Byron said that the history OF any
life, however obscure and commonplace.
may, If properly recounted. be made in
teresting. Like many other things that
Byron said, this should be taken with
considerable allowance. Nevertheless
there is some truth in It. When. on the

takes on great additional value OF this
kind is The Autobiography Of Allen

and for many years highly esteemed
