Miss Ruth Paxson Is safe in Tier

message received from the National

and communicated to her sister
Miss Sue .Paxson at Omaha The
cablegram from Pekin was to the

"All foreign secretaries safe in Pekin,

While there has been no report that
there has been any violence to the
foreign missionaries in China during
the present disturbance, yet their
families and friends have been
somewhat apprehensive for the for

Nothing has been heard direct from
Miss Paxson since October %, when
she wrote from Pao Tin Flu in North
China that all was quiet and the near

Since that time the revolution has
extended and has. taken on an anti

that Miss Paxson together with all
other foreigners followed the orders

leadership" The manner in which the "new leaders came into being still has it's sting. But more parti- cularly bitter for the Republican vot- CTS is the thought that they in Bridge port are to be commanded, officered and led by the same influences that were so frequently and powerfully exerted at Hartford to defeat Public Utilities legislation, to destroy Work mems Compensation. Direct Primar- ies. and much other legislation strong ly demanded by Democrats and Re publicans
 After all, what is politics for? Are we not tout for the stuff?'' Isn't it the purpose of parties to .get there ?'' What are candidates for if not ito deliver the wallop?" What can it matter to candidate that Repub,i- can ideals are sacrificed, provided he is a candidate?
 The Compromise" is in accordance with the philosophy of the times. It is, based upon the pleasant theory that the jobs are the important thing. A little throttled legislation is of no consequence.

UNCLE IKE's ROLL.

It caused Uncle Ike Stephenson $107.7s3 to be elected to the United States Senate from Wisconsin The senator has a conf1ding disposition and he never asked any questions about the use of this great sum of money. Just keep within the law, boys" he said. everytime he drew an- other check Cigars and liquors cost s3o,00o. The investigators never will find out just what all the money was used for. The cards upon which the expenditures were entered were thrown away. "They got dirty" and that was the reason for destroying them, one witness said. All of which is sad. This is a pretty fair picture of what goes on in Connecticut, the principle difference being that in this state the grip of the fellows who ..handle the roli'' is such that no in vestigation. has been secured. Public prosecutors look askance when Prof. Fox, of Yale. appears to demand the indictment of high candidates upon the assertion that their reports of election expenses upon their face show corruption.

HITCHCOCK FOR
 PARCELS POST Makes Provision for It and Aeroplane Mail Service in
 His Estimates
AMOUNT ASKED IS SMALL
Paves Way for Parcels Post by Naming $5O,000 for
 Preliminary Work

Washington, Oct. 7.-Provision for the establishment of parcels post and the transportation of mail by aeroplane has been made by Post master General Hitchcock in his an- nual estimates of postoffice depart ment expenditures, just submitted to the treasury department.
 According to MT. HitchcOck's esti- mates the appropriations necessary to meet the expenses of the postal ser vice at large, during the coming fiscal year will be S260,938,463, an increase or S2,5S5,740 over the appropriations for the current fiscal year, or less than one per cent, the smallest on record.
 The most. important of the new items in. the estimates are those pro- viding for a parcels post. They in- clude $50.000 to cover the prliminary expenses on rural mail routes, and an equal appropriation to start the ser vice in the cities. The department be- heves, that after the initial expenses Of establishment are defrayed and the parcels post is in full operation on the rural routes, it will not only bring in sufficient revenue to meet its cost, but also surplus that can be utilized in paying the parcels post expenses in the city delivery service.
 An additional item of s50,000 is in- cluded to cover an investigation hav- ing for it's object the final esta blish- ment of general parcels post on all railway and steamboat transportation routes. Thus MT. Hitchcock will sub init the parcels post question to com gross for the postal committees of the house and the senate will have to pass directly on each item. He Is confident that legislation authorizing a parcels pest in some form will be obtained at the coming session of congress.
 Another item included for the first time is the s50,000 to cover experf- ments in the transportation of mall by aeroplane. MT. Hitchcock believes that under certain conditions 1t will be possible in the near future to uti- lize the aeroplane to good advantage in the mail service
 The sum of $50,000 is provided for time and laboring saving mechanical devices for use in the postoffices. An item of s10,000 is added to be expend- ed in giving rewards to postal em- ployes who invent improved rnechant- cal appliances which accelerate the handling of the mails.
