The Undesirable
Secret Caucus.

FOR some time there has been d
sentiment against anything affecting
the people bring conducted behind
closed doors and this sentiment Il be-
coming stronger every day. In every
section where the people want TO be
represented they are asking that no
executive sessions be held and that
at all times the people be told smallest
details in matters concerning them. In
addition to this there are many public
odicials who refuse to serve on ocm-
nittees Of inquiry and similar cases
unless the meetings are held in the
open.
The caucus Of the Democrats at the
Florida legislature recently held was
not held behind closed doors, and the
people of the state were better salts
fed. There was no reason why 1t
should be so and there is no reason
why the caucuses OF the Democrats in
washington should be held secret,
though the Jacksonville Times Union
says.
Mr.. Bryan is making a determined
fight against the secret caucus. Being
DGGA
Democratic caucus. Since 1t is abb
surd to hold any caucus that is not
secret the fight Is against Democrats
caucusing at all. Since unity OF action
Is not possible without a caucus Mr..
Bryan's fight is against Democratic
unity. The fight viii not affect the
practices OF the Republican party
since that party has never accepted
Z Mr.. Bryan as an adviser. n it should
accomplish anything at all it would be
this: The Democratic party as q dis.
organized mob would face the Repub
iican party we'll organized in political
contests. The fight wouldn't last long.
The mob steadily defeated for lack of
organization would disintegrate and
the compact Republican organization
would be in undisputed charge OF the
country.
The Times Union cannot fool an In
telligent people like the Florida voters
with any such talk as that. We do
not doubt that the Times Union is for
the secret caucus for 1t may always be
found on the side OF those interests
which fear the light.
We are afraid OF the man who is
not willing for the people in general
and his constituents in particular to
know how he stands when voting time
comes.
Open caucuses won't disrupt the
party-the Times Union knows this.
It knows toe, that If the caucuses
are open the men win fear public
opinion and come nearer walking the
straight and narrow path. Recently q
Florida man at Washington, not one
serving at this time. however, became
offended when another as he said
gave away caucus secret" the secret
IN question being the way he voted.
. Democratic caucuses have no bust
; ness being secret. The people want
to keep a check on their representa-
tfves and when time comes to vote
for congressman and United States
senators. this is one question which
they should be made to answer salts
factorily before being commissioned
as the peoples Representatives.

growth of the band-warfare on the
Greek frontier, IL is proposed to sus-
pend the pursuit of Richter's abduc-
tors in order that the troops in the
Olympus mountains can be used IN
warning on the band.
The Richter incident is only one Of
many facts pointing to a renewal Of
the socalled band warfare" between
irregular detachments Of Greeks and
Burgarians against each other and
mutually against the Turkish troops,
which drenched Macedonia in blood
for many years. The struggle was
suspended at the time the Young
Turkish revolution Bulgarian ''komi-
tatjes" and Greek partisians lighting
side by side with the Young Turkish
troops to capture Constantinopie and
overthrow Abdul Hamid. The Greeks
and Bulgarians were bitterly disap-
pointed by the results OF the over
throw. the era of good feeling has
passed, hostilities have already been
resumed ma small scale and now
both sides are preparing to take ad-
vantage OF the dissentfons within the
Young Turkish committee, which is
rapidly losing its grip on the admin
istration of the empire.
Prussia Licenses Lotteries.
The state of Prussia, which, unlike
upon lotteries but derives from a state
owned and managed lottery. has con-
Guided a contract with Bavaria, Baden
and Wurtemburg, extending the opera
tions OF the Prussian State lottery 10
these states. For this he Prussian
lottery will pay Bavaria alone 1854, Ooe
per year for each of the first five years
of the contract and thereafter $1,000 on
every $50 lottery ticket sold in their
territory. The arrangement with the
cther states have not been published.
For the three states which have hith-
erto had no lotteries of their own and
have forbidden the operations of other
lotteries, the arrangement gives
most welcome addition to their reve-
nues without any corresponding risk
or burden on their subjects, while for
Prussia it is one step nearer the re-
alization of the Imperial lottery mo-
nopoly, toward which she has been
striving since the foundation of the
empire in 1870. Only Saxony and the
city of Hamburg now remain outside
of the fold and the absorption of their
lotteries is thought to be matter CT
only a short time.
While the price paid the southern
states for their participation in the
lottery is large. Prussia can well afford
it, the net annual revenue from the
state lottery being about $4,000, 900.
The annual receipts of the lottery,
which now are more than $31, 500, 600,
will of course be largely increased when
the sale of the tickets can be pushed
in the South German states, an in
crease from the present number of
$50. 600 tickets included in each semi
annual drawing to 100000 or 1000
being contemplated.

High Cost Of Living In Japan.

According to an article in Osaka
Asahi, prices have gone up in Japan
over twofold in the last twenty years,
while the purchasing value of the cur
rency has sensibly declined Taking
the average rate of prices in Janu-
airy, 1887, at 100 and the value of the
currency at the same time at 100, the
rate of prices in 1910 would be 22S
and the value of currency 4S, accord
ing to table published by the Bank
of Japan.
Another table published by the
same banks shows that the advance
in the prices of imported goods has
been comparatively small, while the
rise in the price of goods produced
for the home market and for export
has been greater. Compared with
the advance in prices in other coun-
tries the Japanese rate of advance
has been about 2 per cent. greater
than that in London and New York
This may be due to some special in
f1uence, such as the enormous ex-
pansion in the amount of money in
circulation.

A family in Minnesota that now en-.

how good it is if the mother had been
discouraged by the failure of her
first attempt to prepare it. Her son
tells the story:
''We had never used Postum till last
spring when father brought home a
package one evening just to try it. We
had heard from our neighbors, and in
fact every one who used 1t, how well
they liked 1t.
well, the next morning Mother
brewed it about five minutes, just as
she had been in the habit OF doing
with coffee without paying special at
tention to the directions printed on
the package. 1t looked weak and
didn't have very promising color, but
nevertheless father raised his cup
with an air Of exceptancy. 1t certain.
ly did give him great surprise, but
I'm afraid it wasn't a very pleasant
one, for he put down his cup with
look of disgust.
Mother wasn't discouraged though,
and next morning gave it another trial,
letting It stand on the stove till boil.
ing began and then letting 1t boil for
fifteen or twenty minutes, and this
time we were all SO pleased with 1t
that we have used it ever since.
Father was a confirmed dyspeptio
and cup of coffee was to him like poi
son. So he never drinks it any more,
but drinks Postum regularly. He isn't
troubled with dyspepsia now and is
actually growing fst, and I'm sure
Postum is the cause of it. All the chill
