The Sucker List. F"
From the New York Times.

From the New York Times.
1t is interesting to learn from good au-
thority that the lists Of names used by
promoters OF various benevolent schemes
to make everybody who does the right
thing at the right time wealthy are tech
nically called sucker lists" IL you fire.
uuently receive invitations to invest a
few trifiing dollars in stock which will be
worth a hundred times its selling price in
q few months you are, therefore, classed
as a sucker" The wonder Is that SO
many persons who never buy speculative
stocks of any kind under any circum-
stances should have their names on these
lists. The inference Is that the sucker
lists" are not scientifically made out, that
guesswork and mere accident enter largely
into their composition. 1t may be, how
ever, that the wise persons who manage
stock-selling syndicatee class everybody
as sucker" without prejudice. and that
their experience in the long run justifies
the classification. Certainly few persons
who have permanent addresses escape So
licitation. They find themselves on divers
and many mail order lists" and their
daily mail is apt to include several invi-
tations to invest in mines, real estate
operations and manufacturing concerns,
along with appeals to aid charities and
requests from tailOrs and bootmakers for
their custom. II is well known fact
that the compilation of these lists is
branch OF modern business reputed TO be
lucrative. The lists are sold. They must
be worth buying or they would not be
bought. Yet who does not invariably
crumple up this superfiuous part of his
daily mail and throw II into the waste
basket?

Holding Steamers.

Public confidence in the effectiveness
of the American quarantine system as
a safeguard against the introduction Of
cholera into this country from Europe,
where IL is now prevalent. is increased by
the detention of two steamers yesterday
on their arrival from foreign ports The
Lusitania from Liverpool could not show
a clean bill of health. there being a case
of sickness on board OF which no salts
factory record was to be had. Conse-
quentiy the vessel with her 915 cabin
passengers and LIZA persons In the steer
age was held over night at quarantine
pending an investigation Of this ailment
A full examination convinced the authori-
ties that there was no danger OF cholera
infection from the vessel and she was
consequently released. The other ship
was the San Giovanni from Naples, on
which a passenger died during the voy-
age. The result of the examination in
this case also was reassuring and the
vessel was permitted to dock.
These detentions at quarantine are of
course seriously annoying TO the cabin
passengers, who are in a hurry to reach
shore and who do not always appreciate
the necessity for the exercise Of the most
scrupulous care in admitting large mis-
cellaneous groups Of people into the coun-
try. When fae steamer Normandie was

New York's gain since 1870 has been

is apparent that New York city Is not
growing as fast as ii has in the past
This is easily to be understood when the
fact is borne in mind that the borough
of Manhattan, which holds the largest
part OF the metropolitan population, is
already SO densely congested that the
problem OF life there is more difficult
than I'm any other part of this continent
According to the present reckoning the
borough of Manhattan itself holds

haitian. the population is increasing at a
rapid rate. New York's hope OF over
taking London lies in these sections, the
boroughs OF the Bronx and Queens. the
territories above Spuyten Duyvil creek
and beyond the Brooklyn boundaries on
Long Island. But these communities
will increase only In proportion to the
provision of means OF rapid transit. not
only between them and the business Sec
ton OF New York, but within the most
congested part of the metropolitan area.
New York is in truth about twenty years
behind its necessities in the point of
such equipment as bridges, subways,
tunnels and other means OF rapid transit
between all parts.

The Newark Lynching.

The report OF the grand jury in the
case OF the Newark. Ohio. lynching is
q most creditable document. and shows
both research and courage. Officials
that winked at the crime are denounc-
ed. and a large number OF citizens are
charged with its preparation In indict-
ments returned against them. We must
wait for the trials. which will test the
real spirit of the community. Ade-
Quate punishment Of lynchers by
Juries selected from the vicinage is
very rare. Dead men tell no tales,
and after a little while have few
friends. Living lynchers. on the other

The Georgia Democracy.

In yesterdays convention Hoke Smith
had an easy victory over Gov. Brown.
Indeed. 1t was difficult for the friends of
the latter to secure hearing for the
bare mention OF his name. BY an effort.
they succeeded in putting him in nomina-
ton as a matter OF form. The Smith
men, with howls Of derision, objected to
even that much.
The platform Is an extreme expression
of the dominant Georgia democracy Of to-
day. A few years ago 1t would have been
characterized as populistic. Old-fashioned
democrats would have shaken their heads
and turned away. There are such men
I'm the state now, but neither numerous
nor influential.
But We must remember that populism.
in the days of its lusty youth. was strong
in Georgia. Many of the foremost men
in the state embraced the faith. 1t looked
for a time as if populism might put de-
mocracy completely out of business. The
most strenuous efforts were necessary to
stem the tide. 1t was stemmed. and now
we find democracy, under populistic sail.

Behold, too. changes in the attitude OF
some Georgia leaders. Twenty years ago

jeCted by his constituents on a charge Of
conservatism. He has not been keeping
up with the procession. Tom Watson
was at that time. or little later, q popu-
list. He went over to the party from the
democracy. and remained with it until q
recent date. He calls himself a democrat.
but has abjured none of the principles
he advocated when q populist by name.
The most radical change. however. Is
In the case OF Hoke Smith. He was Sc
lected for a place In Mr.. Cieveland's
cabinet as q conservative. AS eminent q
conservative as Mr.. Lamar vouched for
him. He held out in belief against
Organism In 1896, but surrendered in &C.
ton. Though agreeing with Mr.. Cleve-
land on the money question, he retired
from the cabinet in order to be free to
vote for Mr.. Bryan. Today Mr.. Smith
leads the radicals. Mr.. Livingston. erst-
while radical. goes by the board as q con-
sentative. while Mr.. Smith. erstwhile con-
sentative. takes command as q radical,
and Is even mentioned for President.
Populism by name has disappeared in
Georgia, but by another name is proving
very acceptable to the olfactories Of the
voters OF the state. When Mr.. Smith ex-
pounds his platform from the stump he
will develop its true quality and meaning
more clearly than We now see.

Does Not Believe the Story Of Party Reorganization STARTED BY INSURGENTS He Has Faith in the Sta bility of President Taft. He Declares His Purpose To Be the Speaker of the Next House.

Chicago, Aug. 15.-The Inter Ocean tomorrow morning will print an inter view with Joseph G. Cannon, in which he denounces the insurgents, says he will be d candidate for the speakership of the next house and declares that the reports of the contemplated reor ganization of the republican party originated with the insurgents and democrats.
 Referring to the dispatches from Beverly, Mir. Cannon said: I do not believe President Taft contemplates any such action. The president is not the kind of a man to yield to every passing whim of the minority. The story that Senators Aldrich. Hale and myself were to be thrown out of the party will be found. when traced to It's source. to have originated with some of the insurgents democrat allies. whose wish is father to the thought.

OYSTER BAY
 CONFERENCE The Nature of Il Is Not
 Disclosed MESSE EN GER GRISCOM
Would Only Say that the Ney York Political Sit uation was Gone Over. Suspicion that there Was Talk of National Politics.

Oyster Bay, Aug. 15.-No tidings were put out today of the conference between Theodore Roosevelt Snd Lloyd C. Griscom. chairman of the New York republican central commit tee. Griscom was known to be the bearer of message from President Taft and it was generally supposed that the message was sent in the hTpc of obtaining Colonel Roosevelts out spoken support in a move to obtain harmony in the reoublic.,1 p"riy.
 But when Griscom went away aft CT 1 talk which lts'eI most Cf tGc day. the only th.ig he was wiling to speak about was the New York situation. He said that President Taft and Colonel Roosevelt were in full accord in that regard.
 In spite of Roosevelt's reticence. it is believed here that he has mapped out a program which does not include, for the present at least. definite indorsemenJ of the Taft administra tion There is good ground for the belief that the visit of Griscom to- day on his return from Beverly has not caused him to alter his opinion.
 Griscom was not anxious to make it appear that he had come as an emissary to Sagamore Hill from the president. He only said that the president sent him. but he added that did not know that today's conference was to be held.
 Griscom said that no names had been mentioned prominently for the gubernatorial nomination. although good many had been considered.

TROOPS FOR COLUMBUS.

Cincinnati, Aug. 10.-ActlnS unuer orders by Governor Harmon, 300 members of the First ohio regiment of this city left tonight on special train for Columbus to enforce order during the traction strike.
 Columbus, Aug. 15-The recall of inc state militia to Columbus for riot duty was marked tonight by a cessa- ton of the disturbances that have been occurring here at intervals for the last three weeks. Troop E and Battery C of Columbus were in their camps early in the evening and the first regiment from Cincinnati is scheduled to ar rive during the night. To protect the soldiers from possible malicious wrecks while en route the B. & O. railway sent two pilot engines ahead and em- nIoves patrolled the tracks. Details of soldiers were aboard the engines. These precautions were prompted by the wrecking of the Fourth regiment train coming from Marietta three weeks ago
 If is predicted tonight that a con flict would ensue tomorrow between the militia and civil officials for the reason that Mayor Marshall has not heen placed in full charge of the mili- tia as well as the police. He had this authority before and expects to assume if again. The militia commander says the mayor will not be permitted to decide the militia's disposition. As soon as it was announced today that the governor had gone over the mayor head and recalled troops for strike duty. it was stated that the military would be in supreme command. Gov ernor Harmon when pressed to state inst how developments would be han dled said this was up to the militia commander General John C. Speaks who has charge of the troops, tonight said the soldiers would be held in their quarters until it was discovered that the police were unable to cope with any particular situation, when the sol diers will go to the scene of trouble From statements made by Ohio Ma tional guard officials, it was assumed that the soldiers, if called out will shoot to kill.
