Robs Mail for Four Years.

Albert c. Gordon, for II years a Chi
cago mail carrier, was arrested recently
by order of Postofice Inspector James
E. Stuart, who says Gordon has con-
fessed to robbing the mails for more
than four years. Complaints from all
over the country of the loss of money
from registered letters had baffled the
officials. Gordon was arrested five years
ago on a similar charge, but it could
not be proven and he was continued in
the service.

Returns Today.

M. de Lesseps intended making the
trip from Calais to Dover and return
without alighting, in an effort to win
the Ruinart prize of $500, but the mist
compelled him to descend.
Leaving Calais amid the cheers of an
immense crowd, the aviator sent his
monoplane up to height of 400 feet
and then headed it in the direction of
Dover. When scarcely mile out from
the French coast the Scarabee, as the
monoplane is known, was lost to sight
from the torpedo boat destroyer Esco-
petite, which was racing underneath it
to render aid should the aviator and his
machine fall.
M. de Lesseps only means of reckon
ing his whereabouts were the rays of
the sun, which dimly penetrated the
banks of fog in which he was en-
shrouded. He determined to keep on,
however, and, in order to avoid the
possibility of colliding with the cliffs
of Dover he sent the monoplane to a
height of thousand feet, at the same
time keeping it pointed in the direc-
ton in which he believed the English
coast lay.

Growth of SMALLER Cities.

Census figures regarding nearly 40
cities with population of less than a
half million show that the develop
ment of these communities during the
past decade has been remarkable. The
east as well as the west is represented
in this list. The statistics printed indi.
cate that the movement cityward is
continuing practically unchanged, and
it is evident that the smaller munich
palities are getting their full share of
recruits from the country.
In thinking of the trend from rural
districts to municipalities many per-
sons assume that only the greater
cities-like New York, Philadelphia,
Chicago, Boston, st. Louis and San
Francisco-are involved. This is far
from the truth.
While the giant centres Of popula-
ton are expanding numerous cities of
moderate size are likewise drawing to
themselves hundreds of thousands OF
men and women from the farm and the
country village. Furthermore, such
cities have practically the same prob
lens with respect to honest govern
ment, sanitation and adequate school
facilities as those which confront the
bigger communities.
With each succeeding census report
it becomes more manifest that one of
the most imperative questions pertain
ing to the success Of American institu-
lions is the question of administering
city affairs successfully. That is an
issue which ought to command the
best brains and the best effort at the
disposal of the country; for the man.
ner in which the cities are governed di-
rectly affects the daily lives, the in
come, the health and the welfare of
nearly one-half of all the households
in this republic

Moving Pictures of Crime.

These children have witnessed in a

be admirably suited to each other ana
were very happy. Mrs. Jones did not
give evidence of possessing any prop
erty. but one day in a burst Of con
fidence that was unusual to her she
told her husband that she. too. had
a legal claim which she was prescott
ing and had every reason TO suppose
that she would be rich. Jones tried to
induce her to tell him all about it. but
she declined. saying that should she
do so it would bring up the matter of
her former marriage. subject she did
not wish TO discuss.
Jones had very good reason for not
attempting to bring out any peculiar
features connected with his wife'S first
marriage. for there were secrets con-
corning his own that 1t would be very
unpleasant TO speak of. But her ex-
cuse for Withholding her confidence
filed him with a dread lest there
might have been something connected
with his wife's love affair that it would
pain him to know. And so he became
a prey to some vague suspicion. Sup
pose for instance that a cloud rested
on the legality of his wife's first mar
riage. Suppose she had been trapped
into mock ceremony. There was no
reason for him to suspect these things.
He simply conjured them up In his
own fancy.
People with guilty consciences are
the quickest to torture themselves into
a suspicion as TO the record of one
upon whom theiE-happiness is depend
ent. Jones had married the second
time without feeling perfectly Asure
that he was a ~7idower. He had not
been living with bis first wife at the
time he had heard of her death. and
he had never been perfectly sure that
the woman who had died was his wife.
Mrs. Jones of this uncertainty. but
bad feared that If he did so he would
lose her. He preferred to take the
very slight chance that existed of the
first Mrs. Jones turning up to claim
him and render his second marriage
null and void.
One night while asleep. his wife be-
ing awake, Jones talked. conveying
suspicious that there was something
wrong about his first marriage. Since
he had created for himself certain sus-
picions about the legality Of his wife's
FIRST marriage each was now affected
In the same manner toward the other.
This gradually began TO produce an
uncomfortable feeling between them.
On one occasion Mrs. Jones said to her
husband:
what is the matter, dear2 You seem
to have something on your mind"
II have remarked the same con-
corning yourself" he replied.
81 assure you have nothing to
trouble me-"
"Nor T."
This was, to say the least, prevari-
cation on Jones' part, for. 10 addition
to his suspicious concerning his wife's
former marriage, something had turn
ed up to indicate that there was a pos
sibility Of his own former partner be,
ing alive.
One day Mr.. Jones told his wife that
he was obliged to go on a business
trip. He kissed her goodbz with more

to afford some indication of the turn
of political sentiment in general and
the results will be especially inter-
esting in view of the fall elections
soon to take place. The state cleo
ton in Arkansas will be held today,
too, but will attract less attention
as democratic success from governor
and congressman down is assured.
fractional fights will lend interest
to the state primaries to be held in
New Jersey. Washington and Illi-
nois. United States senatorships as
well as state offices are involved in
the New Jersey and Washington pri-
maFies. In Illinois the new primary
law will be tried out for the first
time in the nomination by all par
ties of candidates for congressional,
Legislative, county and judicial offices.
An election to choose delegates to
the convention, which will frame a
constitution for Arizona as state
will be held today. Tuesday will be
primary day in New York City.
Other political events of the week
will include the democratic state
convention of Independent democrats
Of Tennessee and republican state
conventions in Montana and Connect
icut. In the Connecticut convention
a spirited contest for the guberna-
torial nomination will be fought out.

The Real Tariff Issue.

The consuming public can care but
little about President Taft's tariff
board and what it discovers either
abroad or here. The members of
the board are, no doubt, having the
best time in their lives and living in
luxury at the best hotels in the cap
itals of foreign nations with Uncle
Sam as the liberal paymaster. What
the American people would like to
know is, whether or not there is any
prospect of a decrease in the present
high cost of living. Since the best
tariff bill" was passed in August,
1909, prices have considerably ad-
vanced on many articles which
makes the purchasing price of the
dollar less than 1t was under the
Dingley law.
What the voters have to decide
when they vote for candidates for
the national house of representatives
and for state representatives who
will eject United States senators is,
Which party candidate will vote for
real tariff revision? The republican
politicians, even the insurgents, de-
clare that they are welded to the
P1ONOSIAfS pOAASJB hASA a. NAANAoAAJ
adds to the price of nearly all we
buy because 1t prevents competition
from abroad. The boosted home
competition between manufacturers
has nearly vanished In consequence
of the tariff-fostered combines and
trusts, which, It is evident, are
banded. together in restraint of trade.
The democrats are pledged to re-
duce the tariff to the revenue produc-
ing point, which, while it will not
perhaps be low enough to greatly in
crease imports, will force the manu-
facturers and the trusts and the
combines to reduce the price Of their
products for fear of losing part Of
their trade to foreign competitors.
These two propositions are the whole
tariff issue as far as the American
consumer is concerned, unless he
wants to go into the details of the
tariff tax on the 1000 articles
more or less-which is such a COM
plicated matter that even the ex-
perts disagree upon 1t.
If the voters Of the United States
had not for so many years submitted
to be plundered by the republican
tariffs; each higher than the former
law, one would think that it would
be a certainty how they will vote on
this paramount issue. But the par
tisan spirit of the republicans is
weakening under the insurgent
blows, and the time for real reform
seems surely at hand, and confidence
in democratic policies Is growing
apace.

retained a fair proportion of comeli'
ness. She, too. was DESTROYS to wed,
There was something about Jones that
appealed to her. and she was inclined
to marry him. but she had reached an
age where a woman has an eye to
business in making a match, and she
desired to- know something Of Mr..
Jones affairs before accepting him.
He told her that his first wife's par
ents had died and, left her handsome
estate. He. as her husband. was en-
titled-there being no children-to all
her property. He was about to lay
claim to it.
Mrs. Jones listened to this statement
Of his affairs. took plenty Of time to
think the matter over and finally yield
ed to his persuasions and consented to
marry him. He attempted to sound
her as to what. if anything. she could
contribute to their maintenance, but
received no satisfaction. he had
noticed that she was a very reticent
woman. and as he had sufficient in
come TO support her. irrespective of
the claim he had spoken OF, he did not
press her, for information.
Mr.. Jones and the lady he was to
marry lived in different cities. They
were married quietly at the place
where they met and went to live at
the husbands home. They seemed to
