81 Here is a case where public congratulation is in order. A long
evil, discreditabe to the Government, has been ended and in the right
way. The fact is the more remarkable because of its simplicity.
The Postmaster-General did no more than follow the plain business
method of developing his service along lines that we're profitable.
Such an application of common sense and energy to a departmental
problem must not be treated as a slight thing. 1t s. so rare in gov

mn ers have shown an inclination to involve all
HST organized labor in the case Of the men charged
AES& with dynamiting the building of the Los Angeles

N.Y. rom the first by the full force Of public SEN
timent. 1t tends to intrude an ugly side issue
into a case where the supreme issue should be kept free from con-
fusion.
Organized labor is not on trial. No union is charged or sus-
pected Of completely in the commission Of the crime. The charges
run against individuals personally, 1t is right the accused parties
should have the benefit Of oil the aid and help their friends and
smpathizcrs can give them, and the law will assure them the enjoy

victims Of capital because Of their association with organized labor.
No issue OF labor or Of capital is involved in the case. No man

But Republican Insurgents Can

NEW IDEA BOTHERSOME.

Here's the programme for the pro.
posed organization OF the New Yorh
State Assembly OF 1912 by the Repub.
lean Old Guard and the Tammany
Tiger:
FrRST-A secret meeting Of the
Republican Old Guard leaders to be
held In Albany the latter part OF
ibis month. at which they will de-
eide whether they a jam through
their slate for Speaker and Majority
Leader without the assistance OF the
so-calied Independent Republicans.
SECOND-The preparation OF a
plan by which enough Tammany
votes may he thrown TO the Old
Guard candidate In case there are
not sufficient Republican votes to
turn the trick.
I THIRD-The allotment OF a num-
Der of good committee places to
Tammany men who feel they owe
IL TO the welfare Of their %organiza-
tion to vote for the Republican
candidates.
Thus Il Will be seer that the Tiger and
the Elephant will snuggle pretty closely
together In the coming Assembly organ

prophets. the Old Guards have come to
the conclusion that the New Idea In the
party Is going to prove a
impediment TO them this year

Tonight, at 10 o'clock, the special
period in The Herald's European and
around the world tour contest closes.
The first prize Is 500. the second $50,
the third $50, the fourth SO the fifth $50,
the sixth $50. and the seventh SO. These
are to be awarded to the seven contest
ants who have secured and voted the
most votes during the period between
October 10 and tonight at 10 o'clock.
Time for the greatest activity is here.
Every minute between now and tonight
at 10 o'clock should be made to pro-
duce results. The work done during this
period may work the difference between
winning a trip abroad or a special prize
or not winning II. This is opportunity
time, and you should not miss IT. If
you have been doing reasonably success
full work up to this time, now Is when
you can achieve wonderful results from
effort expended in the proper direction.
There are the eleventh-hour stories go
ing the rounds. Some of them reports
that such and such candidates will have
so many thousand or million votes to
cast at the hnish, and so and so will
spring surprises. These stories are evil

ants who are actively working. and
should, therefore, be taken with grain
OF salt.
One thing is certain. II there are I'M
looked for surprises, Il Is better to be
able to Offset them.
One contestant should not stand back
and fail to turn in his or her subscrip
tons, fearing that some other one will
capture the honors. THERE'S exactly
where the most mistakes are made. Con-
testants too often fear each others vot-
ing strength; and when the voting is
over they find that their apprehensions
were unfounded, and II they had only
voted what they could have turned IN
they would have won.
Don't let 1t be said: IL I only had
done so and So"
A campalgner's advice on vote getting
is: You cannot have too many. 1t is
better to be sure Of winning BY getting
all the votes possible, and then II you
win by a good margin. You feel better
over the victory than you would by hav-
ing small lead"
It is better, too. to win by a large
number than to lose by a few votes.
Some contestants would be greatly dis
appointed II they were nosed out OF
one OF the special prizes on account of
one yearly subscription Of 5000 votes
/ Following this special period division
OF the contest, there will be the final
lap of three weeks, ending December
is, which will decide who will be the
district winners and the chaperon to
complete the party.
There are ten trips and but nine dis
tricts. so one contestant is going to win
two trips. The workers are going to be
the winners. Just paste that in your
hat band and make these three weeks
the greatest In the contest.
Remember that tonight at 10 o'clock
Is the latest you will be allowed to turn
in your votes and subscriptions for the
gold prizes.
Don't wait until the last moment, be-
cause others will be doing the same
thing
All candidates who are in the travel
department before 10 o'clock with votes
to turn in will be accommodated, even
II the actual time taken for the receipt
ing OF the same runs past the hour but
no votes or subscriptions will be accept
ed from any one arriving at the travel
department after the hour OF 10
All subscription votes received since

pectally applies to out-of-town candidates
who have mailed subscriptions, request

LECTURES BEFORE
GEOGRAPHIC BODY
C. W. Furlong, African Tray
eler, Describes TripOli.

Charles w. Furlong, African traveller.
explorer, and writer, gave the second
lecture of the season under the auspices
OF the National Geographic Society at
the New Masonic Temple yesterday aft
ernoon. His subject was ''Tripoli." Mr..
Furlong discovered the wreck of the old
United States frigate Philadelphia, which
was burned and sunk by Decatur at the
time of the pirate troubles between Trip
oil and this country. The vessel ground
ed on a reef, and was burned to prevent
it falling into the hands of the Tripoli-
tans.
Beginning with a description OF the
characteristics OF Northern Africans, Mr..
Furlong told of the rise to power of the
Moors and of their voyages as far north
as Iceland for slaves and merchandise.
When they were driven back into Africa,
he said, they left some OF the most not
able examples OF architecture the world
has ever seen.
Then followed a detailed description of
the topography of the country, the sand
dunes Of the Sahara, commerce and man
ners of the people, with an account of
the encroachment OF Turkey upon North
ern Africa, and chiefly upon Tripoli.
Next Friday afternoon the third lecture
Of the season will be on Italy of to-day"
