10 prepare the defense.
Judge Reid ruled that although he
considered the application for continu-
ance faulty III the strict legal sense, he
was satisfied that the defendants, if
brought 10 trial now, would be under Il
disadvantage which the court, in its
discretion should not impose. He de
clared he wished particularly that this
trial should be free from all criticism
as 10 its fairness.
Ia the interim John Dietz will again
make application for bail, and may in q
few days be given his liberty on joint
bond, authorized by Judge Reid, who
both Dietz and his attorneys declare is
perfectly fair and impartial.
John is being treated all right, as
long as they will let me see him often, .

WOMEN WIN IN WASHINGTON.

HE report that the price of meat is TO be lower
~ make progress. Two years hence the women
of the State of Washington will have the right to
svote for president Their sisters in Colorado
Idaho, Utah and Wyoming already have equal suf-
frage
The victory for the women was easy in Washing
ton at the recent election, but en the neghborng
State OF Oregon they we're defeated bya majority
greater than the ant-Suffragists secured on pre-
vious occasions when the matter was voted on. No
reasonable explanation of the difference of opin-
ion in the two states has been given
Oregon is supposed to be as progressive as
Washington. Both states have readily taken up
with other new ideas in government In some
particulars Oregon is the more advanced BY
means of the initiative and referendum Oregon
has succeeded in having almost direct government
by the people.
At the recent election thirty-two questions we're
voted on in Oregon and il is said that the citizens
showed remarkable intelligence and discriminating
power. Government by bosses and by the inter
ests' was abolished long ago in Oregon Perhaps
the men have concluded that they can manage
their own affairs without the necessity of women
voting
The question is how long Oregon will stand out
against the assaults of the suffragsts For it is
well known that in most cases it Is only question
of time before compact organization Of enthus
astic agtators get what they want.
1t must be said however, in the case Of Colo
rado the voting of women has not improved the
government there and perhaps the same could be
said of other states that have equal suffrage
And the voting of women does not seem to have
any material effect on the political complexion of
the states in which they vote.

SETTLEMENT or ExpREss STRIKE

IT HE express companies of New York have had
\ little public sympathy in the troubles they
have been having with their employees the helpers
and drivers The difficulty has now been happily
adjusted, chiefly through the instrumentality of
Mayor Gaynor.
The adjustment of wages and hours of work will
be taken up by each of the companies with its en-
ployes and it is to be hoped that every point in
dispute will be amcaby adjusted.
This ought not TO be difficult problem to solye
considering the fact that express companies earn
dividends of 800 per cent. or more. Certainly the
companies cannot say that an increase in the wages
of their men will ruin or seriously affect their
business
The men have demanded working day of eight
hours and they should get il. Employees of ex-
press companies have never been noted for receiv-
ing high wages and they are hard working people.
The difficulty between the express companies
and their employees has had one good effect, that
OF reviving interest in the parcels post. The op-
portunty will be opened in an exceptional
manner to Mr.. Taft TO make the parcels post

FALL IN PRICES.

HE report that the price of meat is to be lower
n is joyful news to those who have been vexed by
the high cost of living. They have felt all along
that meat was under the control of merciless
trust which feasted on enormous profits. The trust
explanation is that a drop in the price of corn
is responsible for the drop in the price OF meat.
Other crops this year as we'll as corn are unus-
uaIly bountiful In fact the general average OF tine
increase in the harvests is estimated at nine per
cent. greater than for the last five years And
with these reports of greater harvests comes the
statement that deposits in savings banks for the
year which ended on June 80 we're on an average
$445, or nearly SIS greater than the year previous
and the number of depositors was greater by
100000 The western railroads also report a con-
siderable increase in business.
All these signs indicate that the basic conditions
of the country are sound and business should boom

over 20000 The combined opposition eolled
about i've times as many votes as the Socialists
but the Socialists q Berks polled only about 1000
fewer votes in the county than the Republicans
did In the city Of Reading the Socialist cand-
date for governor got more than 100 in excess Of
the number received by Tener the Republican can
didate for governor The Republicans, therefore,
according TO these figures, are the third party in

VNIITH the new senators to be elected by in
" coming Legislatures the complexion OF the
Senate will be considerably changed although the
Republicans will retain control.
Thirty three new senators are 70 be chosen, OF
which number sixteen will be Democrats and the
remainder Republicans. Eight of the sixteen will
represent Democratic gains in states that have
hitherto been represented by Republicans.
The Democrats will lose one senator in North
Dakota. OF the seventeen Republican senators
10 be chosen, six are said TO be certain Tor the
so-called progressive Republicans and they have
q chance for two or three others.
The stand-pat element of the party will be rep
resented by seven senators TO be elected The
New England states will have five senators, one
of whom the new senator from Maine will befa
Democrat In Massachusetts the Republicans will
elect successor TO Senator Lodge, who is candi-
date for reelection but against whom there is
opposition so strong that his defeat may be ac--
complished by a combination OF Republican insur-
gents and Democrats. New York and New Jersey
Will elect Democratic senators and Pennsylvania
and Delaware will choose Republicans. The Re
pubhcans lose senator in West Virginia. In
Missouri a Democrat will displace Senator Warner
and The Democrats gain senator from Ohio.
The party will therefore have more Senator'S
from northern states than it has had for years
and it will be possible for a combination of Demo
Gratis and insurgent Republicans TO control the
Senate But there are already strong ntimatons
that the Insurgents and the Democrats will not be
in SO close an alliance at Washington as they we're

BRIBERY TALK.

HERE has been hubbub during the last
4 few days about the alleged bribery and cor
ruption of the election in Delaware. 1t seems to
have burst out all Of a sudden, for some local
foes of corruption have not made particular note
of it.
There have been a number of arrests and in
Kent county there seems TO have been consider
able bitter feeling election day which resulted
in arrests being made by both sides
No doubt, agents of the Anti-Bribery League and
detectives who have been making inquiry will soon
present their reports and then action will be taken
The Democrats so far have been talking in an in
definite way about the use of money at the cleo
ton. but outside Of a few arrests no specific in
stances have been mentioned The Republicans on
the other hand assert with much confidence that
money was used in the interests of the Democrats
in various parts of the State.
Although it is difficult to secure evidence of bri
berry or attempts at bribery, it it we're practced
on the wholesale scale, as few of the Democrats
contend, it should not be very hard TO secure
enough evidence TO warrant convictions.
