OBJECTS TO NEW ORLEANS.
Louis Editor FavOrs Holding. Exposition In San Francisco.

New Orleans is Justify proclaiming its endorsement by St. Louis as the logical site for the Panama-Pacifc Exposition That this growing is rather premature and that the ''endorsment" is not all that could be desired is indicated by the follow ing editorial in the St. Louis Times i frankly advocating the claims of San Francisco:
 Despite the fact that a partial promise has been made in St. Louis which would seek to anchor this city to the position of favoring New Orleans as the place for holding the Panama Exposition, there is distinct tone of another kind to be heard on every side.
 "The question is being asked, why should New Orleans be favored in this relationship, at the expense of San Francisco, which is making a vigorous effort to obtain the ex- position?
 'The St. Louis Times is free to Sd y that it can think ot no good reason why this city should favor New Orleans as against San Francisco.
 1.-The argument of "neighborliness" is, perhaps, more than counter balanced by other arguments which readily come to mind.
 Summer has always been the ac- cepted season for Worlds Fairs; therefore, the matter of climate should be first consideration. New Orleans has a very kindly climate to offer winter tourists, but it's summers are unbearable. General Humidity appears to have his Notifications established most strongly in the beautiful Crescent City-anG he is the known foe to comfort and exercise of every kind.
 "On the other hand, San Francisco's climate in the summer season may almost be said to err in the other direction. It is cool, if not quite chilly; and it is the bracing quality in the air which acts as stimulant to all pleasure seeking.
 Again, San Francisco is ou the salt water, while New Orleans has to summon her fleets from point mo' than half hundred miles away.
 'tAs to the benefits of the Panama Exposition, certainly there is no city which will reap so great a number as San Francisco. By the turning loose of the tides in the great canal, it will be suddenly incorporated as an Ameri- can city in a new respect. It has been out of the American world all these years, and has built up a musical. literary and financial sphere of its own. With the completion of the canal, San Francisco's address will suddenly become, "U. s. A. "a suf- fcient reason why it should wish to celebrate on mighty scale"

Pick.pocksts Worked in Phoenix Crowd

Several who attended the circus in Phoenlx believe that somewhere in that surging, tanning crowd lurked men whose business it was to separ- ate pocketbooks from deep, snugly fitting pockets that had been all day carefully protected from the slight of-hand artists who make it their business to live on their ill-gotten gains of their innocent victims. A few have made public their losses, while some are satisfied that they must have dropped their pocketbook no suspicious person was botheriug around them, and they are confident no one could no one could go through their pockets without them know ing it.
 Among those who are satisfied that their pockets were picked, admitti ng that they don't belong to the shre wd class who can eyade the tricks of these slippery theives, are w T. Cummings, NJ. O. O'Dell and James McNeil, who were all shy their pock- etbooks when arriving home on the evening train.
 MT. O'Dell was on the pla tform Of the crowded homecoming train when be says a well-dressed man was standing beside him who he now re- calls seemed to be doing considerable more crowding against him than was necessary. He thought nothing of his pocketbook at the time, but a little later became aware of the fact that he had been touched, and is now sure it was that nice looking young man whom he is unable to locate.
 MT. Mummings' donation was some- what large, as when he began to take account of stock he learned for the first time that his pocketbook con- taining S25 was missing, and, sitting on the edge of his bed, had d vision of young man standing beside him while he was getting drink of water on the crowded car and who seemed to be possessed with an unusual amount of affection. MT. Cummings did not think anything of it when the stranger lovingly jostled him, be lieving at the time that the crowd standing was the cause of the young mans pushing. The vision became a reality, however, and with the money and man both probably miles away, MT. Cummings tells the story as joke, as he sees no use worrying over split milk. MT. McNeil was short S5 when he arrived home, and it's the opinion of all three that the work was doue in the crowded car while al the station in Phoenix.

A Sop To Insurgents.
(Arizona Democrat )

| card in an effort to stop insurgency in the republican party, by offering the. insurgents their share of the patronage. But it is too late to stem the current that is carrying the G. O. P. on the rocks; and the concession which the president has now made is more likely to hurt than to help his cause. The question of patronage has had very little to do with the split in the republican party, and certainly has had nothing to do with the result in Maine, except to help to eliminate Hale and Swasey and other friends of the administration. The Maine voters did not rout the re- publicans on the question of post masters, for they knew that-for the time at least-the democrats whom they elected have no offices to distri- bute. There was a much deeper cause that changed lifelong republi- cans to democrats, and the president will discover it when all the elections have been held.
 The enormous increase in the cost of living and the failure Of the re- publican congress to revise the tariff as promised; the extravagant ex- penditures; the efforts of the insur- gents, headed by Theodore Roosevelt, to overthrow the stalwarts who are discredited before the voters, have led to the discom6ture of the republi- can party.
 The president was himself to blame for taking the advice of Cannon, Aldrich ct al., and by accepting their help in trying to enact what he con- sidered necessary legislation. If he had vetoed the tariff bill instead of praising it, and in place of recom- mending railroad bill that was favor- able to the railroads, had followed the suggestions of Senators Cum mings, LaFollette and others, there would have been no insurgency ex- cept such as Mir. Roosevelt was bound to raise for his personal advantage. But new nationalism would have died a-borning, and conservation would been generously accepted without the aid of Pinchot or Ballinger if Presi- dent Taft had not made Pinchot martyr.
 President Taft is unfortunate in the company he has kept; the dis credited republican leaders have led him into the trouble he is now en- countering; they showed him that without their help he could do noth- ing, for they controlled congress. There is good reason to believe that they threatened him with a split in the party unless he sided with them He has distributed all the important offices to their henchmen, and is now making still greater political error in offering the insurgents the small mess ot pottage that remains.
 The insurgents who have won will be laughed at and despised if\ they are found dangling their heels in the White House for chance to beg for a postmastership or other such small l favors, in return for which they will | vote to retain what they have been discrediting-the Camnon-Aldrich program.
 Too late, MT. President, too late! The wolves have entered the party | fold and the republican sheep are so scattered that they are out of range | of the voice of the shepherd.

HIGHEST AlRsHlp FLIGHT.
Brookins Reaches Altitude Of Over
5000 Feet-May Win 5000.

Atlantic city. n. j., July 11.-Walter
Brookins, driving a Wright bi-plane.
reached an altitude calculated at 8.l75
feet over the ocean and broke the
record for aeroplane altitude.
Brookins spent ] hour, 2 minutes n
35.15 seconds in the air. according to
official timing. About hfty-seven min
utes OF his time was made IN the
circling ascent. the rush of over a mile
to the ground consuming less than
seven minutes.
He used his last drop OF gasoline at
his highest altitude. and was still
climbing when his engine missed ex-
plosions. The aviator brought his ma
chine back to the level to get the last
drop OF fuel out Of the storage tank
TO reach the line Of vision, Of engineers
on the beach. Reaching the imaginary
line, Brookins started to glide to earth
and his engine stopped when he was
at $500 feet and still over the ocean.
His circiing glide to the beach, which
the crowd believed TO be a bit of fancy
flying, was done to save himself from
diving into the sea.

TO SUSPEND RATE DECISION.
Investigation Into Freight Situation TO
Be Carried On.

Washington, July 11.-At a meeting
of no interstate commission
tho coming week that body will decide
to ssupend, pending examination. the
genera Increases of freight rates which
have been filed with The commission

the east, the region north or the ONO
and east Of the Mississippi and he
middle west. Most of them go into
effect Aug. l or t~hereabouts.
A question has been raised whether
the commission woul exercise its au-
thority under the law in such a way
as to make sweeping suspensions or
the general freight rate Increases. Thls
question has been accentuated espe-
ciaI,y by the statement given out from
Beverly. following the recent confer
ence between President Taft and
Chairman Knapp. Following that con-
ference It was given out that the com
mission was going to administer the
law In conservative fashion and was
going to suspend increased rates only
in exceptional cases. This was seized
on In many quarters as meaning that
many Of the general i%ncreases which
the roads had decided on wonld not be
suspended and that part Of them
would be allowed to go into effect.
1t Is stated now on the best OF au-
thority that the commission expects to
suspend the general rate increases and
that whatever was given out at Bever-
~ was not to be construed as meaning
otherwise, 80 far as the proposed gen.
eral Increases are concerned.
The commission will meet July II.
All The members but Commissioners
Lane and Clarke, who are In Europe,
will be present.
The commission will hear the parties
interested In the New Jersey COM
muters' rates and will decide what to
do about them. No hearing Is planned
with respect to the general increases Of
freight rates.
