We believe the people of St.
Johns made no mistake when they
elected Al Muck mayor. We have
not the slightest doubt but that he
will make good in the fullest sense.
Afiable, courteous and possessed of
plenty of good solid sense, we have
every reason to believe that he will
give every one square deal. In
fact the entire new set Of officials
apparently give general satisfaction
and the public feels that the gov.
ernment is safe in their hands. ID.
&. Lewis strikes the keynote in a
communication this week. Read it
and follow his advice.

Governor Carroll, Taft adherent, to
have the Republican state convention

form adopted at the national conven'

and his effort to eliminate from the
report of the majority of the resolu-

trolled the convention throughout.
Neither Taft nor Roosevelt were
mentioned in the resolutions adopted
which commend Republican achieve

Governor Carroll precipitated DEM
onstration for Roosevelt which lasted
for more than twenty minutes when
he said the national Republican plat
form was not tanned, but was adopted
regardless of whether the delegates
were aligned with Taft or Roosevelt.
The mention of Roosevelt was the
signal for cheer after cheer, delegates

PRESCRIBE LOWER |
EXPRESS RATES.
AS A RESULT OF A SEARCHING
INQUIRY BY THE INTERSTATE
COMMERCE COMMISSION.
TO LOWER COST OF LIVING
Commission Thinks Conclusions Con-
stitute Step Toward Solving the
Greatest American Problem.

MISUNDERSTANDING reductions
in express rates averaging in general
approximately IS per cent; drastic re-
forms in regulations and practices,
and comprehensive changes in the
methods of operation, are prescribed
in a report made public by the IN
terstate commerce commission of its
investigation into the business Of the
thirteen great express companies OF
the United States.
Dealing with the identity of inter-
est between the various companies,
the report finds that while these COM
panies are separate legal entities, 'it
is of interest to regard this fact by
stock ownership and otherwise they
are so interlaced, intertwined and in
terlocked that it is with difficulty we
can trace any one Of the greater COM
panies as either wholly independent
in its management or the agency of a
single railroad system. So that While
these companies operate separately
and compete with each other for traf,
fic, the express business may be said
to be almost a family affair. An IN
teresting genealogical tree, in fact,
might be drawn showing common
ancestry in all of the larger compa,
MES. And while many names may
be used to designate these compa,
MES, it is, within the fact to say that
aside from the operations of the mi,
nor and distinctively railroad express
companies, the express business of
the United States is managed by not
more than three groups of interests"
The inquiry was the most extern
sive, and in wealth of infinite detail,
probably the most thorough, ever
prosecuted by the commission. 1t was
conducted and the report was pre-
pared by Commissioner Franklin K.
Lane 1t has been in progress for
nearly three years. The report itself
makes 600 printed pages. 1t involved
an examination and comparison of
practically more than 6OO0O0,000 eX-
press rates in effect in this country,
in addition to an examination Of mil
lions of waybills and an investigation
through the books of the companies,
of their financial operations and their
business methods.

CHAFIk-WATKINS NOMINEES
STANDARD BEARERS OF FOUR
YEARS AGO ARE AGAIN
NOMINATED.
Proposal to Change the Name Of the
Party Not Taken Up by the
Convention.

Atlantic City, N. 1.-THE national
Prohibition convention concluded its
labors here with the nomination of
the party standard bearers of four
years ago-Eugene w. Chain of Ari
iona for president and Aaron S. Wat
kins of Ohio for vice president. In
each case the nomination was made
by reclamation after a single ballot
had indicated the preference of the
delegates.
Four aspirants were placed in nomi-
nation against Mr.. Chain. They were
F. w. Emerson of California, Finley
C. Hendrickson of California, Aaron
S. Watkins of Ohio and Andrew Jack
son Houston of Texas. Each with
drew his name after the first ballot,
Mr.. Houston creating enthusiasm by
the statement that he would rather
receive the lowest vote in the Prohi-
bltion convention than the highest in
either the Democratic or Republican
conventions.
Both of the party candidates were
called to the platform and made brief
speeches. Mr.. Chain said he regarded
the nomination as the greatest politi-
cal honor bestowed upon any man this
year. He thanked the convention for
his second nomination and promised
not to stand for a third term.
The proposal to change the name
of the party was not taken up. A. j.
Orem of Massachusetts, in a brief
speech, promised to pledge more mon.
ey to the campaign fund should the
name be changed.

EFFECTS OF FRIGHT
APPEARANCE LAST coNSIDERA.
TON IN TIME OF DISASTER.
Under Stress Of Great Fear Most
People Forget Everything Ex-
cept the One Thing of Saw
Ing Their Lives,

They had been discussing the effect
of great fright, and what, most people
would be likely to do under stress.
Well began Creedmore, when
wife and l took our trip to Alaska we
were wrecked and came mighty near
to losing our lives. About p. m. OF
a dark, rainy night our little steam
ship was struck by another and a
great hole rammed in her bow. She
sank so quickly that there was no time
to dress, so in the darkness we
snatched what we could find and made
our way on deck. My wife appeared
in a short flannel skirt and dressing
sack. The other passengers, including
myself, looked little better. When the
lifeboat, into which we were hustled,
was launched it was Towed away in
the inky darkness.
The waves dashed over us till we
were drenched to the skin and nearly
frozen. Every few minutes we We're
ordered to shout all together After
what seemed an eternity our shout
close to the lumber steamship that
wrecked US A rope ladder was thrown
over her side, and one by one we
climbed up. Her captain was a Scotch
man and bachelor, and there was
not woman on board. When my
wife asked for dry clothing the cap
tain told her to help herself from his
cabin. When she appeared at the
dinner table she was attired in a suit
of pink pajamas, some underwear and
the captains slippers, which kept
dropping from her feet. She was
still so dazed by what she had gone
through that she did not realize how
she looked"
That's So" said Haynes. II know
from a little experience of my own
that under such circumstances people
are oblivious to their own appearance.
Now, l was in railroad wreck. 1t
was in the night, too, and in the dead
of winter. l was awakened from a
sound sleep by terrible crash, to find
my sleeper upright, but badly
wrecked. With difficulty l climbed
out the broken window and started
for the other end Of the wreck, when
a woman, almost entirely without
clothing, rushed frantically up to me,
crying: For Gods sake, give me
something to cover mel Certainly,
madam, said I, with a Chesterfeldian
bow, take this Without a thought
for myself I handed her my oYercoat,
being unconscious of my own appear
ance till, with gasp, she snatched
it from my hands, put it on, and
made off like deer."-Los Angeles

He declared that pain, laughter and
crying were the result of motor excita-

disturbances in the cellular structure
of the brain. Curiously, he pointed
out, brain tissue itself is incapable of
