attack of preitonitis, at her home in
Cedar Rapids, Iowa, passed into the
great beyond at an early hour yester-

The old English words right" and

made IN the German navy at an earlier

1t was not long ago that the English
word ''larboard" was used where We
now use port" There Is no difficulty

When rain falls from a cloudless
sky it is generally believed that the
moisture has been brought by the wind
at a great elevation. In the south At
lantic 1t has been known to rain fot
more than an hour while the sky was
entirely free from clouds In the island
Of Mauritius it is not at all uncommon
for rain to come from cloudless heav.
en-. Slight showers fall during the
evening when the stars are shining
brightly. It is thought by some that
these showers are the result Of parti-
cles OF Ice formed in the higher region
Of the atmosphere melting and falling.
Others attribute it to currents Of warm
and cold air travelling in opposite d.
rections. with the result that the lat.
ter condenses some Of the moisture in
the former and causes 1t to fall in the
form Of rain.

general conflict that Europe has been
dreading for many years.
The combination that is now forming is
unusual. To begin with, it lacks the
largest Of all the Balkan states.
Roumania. which has thus far held aloof
from the quarrels that now involve Bull
garfa. Servia and Montenegro. Roumania
has no intimate and direct relation with
Turkey. inasmuch as the whole OF Bull
garia interposes between its southern
boundary and the Turkish frontier. There
is. however, close family connection be-
tween the peoples Of the two states. and
the Bulgarians always look to Roumania
for a certain amount of support in the
event of trouble. The Austrian influence.
however. is greater with Roumania than
that Of Bulgaria, and in the present af-
fair doubtless the course of Roumania
will be determined from Vienna and not
from the region south of the Danube.
The association of Greece with the
physically separated but religiously allied
Balkan states is not at all surprising
circumstance. Greece is a traditional
enemy Of Turkey and. still smarting un-
der the sting of the defeat of 1897. it is
eager for an opportunity to strike blow.
Alone. Greece Is helpless. Cooperating
with the Balkan states. 1t hopes perhaps,
to catch Turkey as in the jaws Of a nut
cracker. But Greece is awkwardly situa-
ted for a campaign Of this character It's
navy is negligible. while that of Turkey,
though distinctly of low grade, is superior,
and with the porte's war fleet released
from Italian supervision and repression
1t should be able to inflict heavy dam
age upon the Greek coast while the Bal
kan states. with their inconsequential sea
fronts, are virtually immune from such
attentions Nevertheless the $1,000 troops
that it is estimated Greece can put into
the field will give Turkey a great deal Of
trouble on the south. while the 100000
men of the Balkan allies. is permitted to
work under competent leader and with
consistent plan Of campaign, may be
more than a match for all the forces the
porte can put into the field. 1t is quite
evident that If the powers permit the Bal
kan-Greece combination to fight Turkey
will have an even tougher proposition
than that which it has for the past year
been handling against Italy.

A Blue Law Decision.

Justice Arthur Mace at Rockville takes
a broad and sensible view of the old blue
law which prohibits Sunday work in
Maryland. ruling that the railroad repair
men who were arrested last Sunday by
the sheriff of Montgomery county were
engaged in labor necessary to the safety
of the travelling public. 1t would have
been most extraordinary indeed II the
court had held otherwise, but the deci-
sion Is nevertheless gratifyingly I'm unison
with the spirit of the present day, and
it renders all the more ridiculous the
action Of the sheriff in insisting upon
making an arrest and thereby interrupt
ing the work of railroad repair which
he construed to be a violation of the
ancient law. Maryland presents a re-

Suffer-.

Everything comes to the man who
works and waits. Well. Mr.. Sulzer has
worked and waited. His name has fig
ured in gubernatorial speculation in New
York for sixteen years. At some conven-
tons his candidacy has been laughed at.
Two years ago at Rochester, when the
subject was mentioned to Charles F.
Murphy, the Tammany boss just grinned.
In the ballotings Mr.. Sulzer got three
votes. Early this morning at SYRIA
euse he was nominated on the third bal
lot over strong field, and without the
active assistance of Mr.. Murphy
Two considerations entered into the
choice made. Mr.. Sulzer is popular in
Jewish circles as the result Of his ac-
tivity in the matter Of the announcement
OF the treaty with Russia. and his rela-
tons with Mr.. Hearst are very cordial.
His party friends therefore hope to d.
vide the Jewish vote with Mr.. Straus
and to bring Mr.. Hearst into the cam
est than he has SO far shown.
On general scores Mr.. Sulzer Is a good
party man. and has always been regular.
He stood by Mr.. Bryan In 1898 when the
New York democracy was cold as ice to-
ward the peerless leader He is likewise
a good stumper. His facial resemblance
TO Henry Clay is not as striking as the
jokesmiths describe, but the descendants
of the men who followed the great whig
leader have never felt aggrieved at the
pleasure the joke has given Mr. Sulzer
As for Gov. Dix, alas, poor Yorick.
Those who have known him well will
know him no more forever. He was in
efficient, but grateful. He remembered
his creator in the days of his service,
and for his faithfulness has now received
the bounce Had he denied his boss he
might have been hailed as a great re-
former.

The Hartman Episode.
ON the Philadelphia Ledger.

From the Philadelphia Ledger.
The Observation-Disclosures correspondence
forms a wonderfully convincing exhibit
for a series that contains little that Is
new" Mr.. Roosevelt declared repeatedly
that he had never asked Hartman to
raise money for his campaign: that Har-
riman was busted with the New Yors
state campaign fund: that the money
went to Odell of the state committee fol-
the gubernatOrial contest. Let any man
of ordinary perspicacity read the intimate
correspondence, of which the authenticity
is not denied, and then render judgment
on the facts that have been proved. 1t
Is shown that, a matter OF fact, Cor
nelius N. Bliss of the national committee
actually did receive Hartman money,
and that he signed receipt in due form
that MIR. Roosevelt was most soHcitous
for Mr.. Harriman's aid; that he sought
his counsel and intimacy: that he
acknowledged with fervor Mr.. Hartman S
congratulations when elected in 1904; that
he fiattered Hartman, wheedled him.
studied him and sought to win his favor
and support in every conceivable way.

The Failure in Mexico.
rom the st. Louis Republic

Absentee landlordism is another one of
Mexico's Affections. "All the land of
Mexico is owned by 1900 families. many
of whom live in Europe" So says Zeferino
Dominguez. corn king" of Mexico. to a
reporter for the Republic. In few words
Senior DomingueZ describes the hard con-
ditions of the poems. the ill-paid tenants
of a parasitic landed gentry. Senior Do
minguez declares Maderos government is
failure. 1t doubtless is a failure in as
far as 1t has not rectified or ameliorated
the conditions inherited from the Diaz
regime. But it was the long Diaz reign,
not the struggling Madero effort, that
made the conditions which Dominguez
himself justly complains of and which he
is striving to remedy. Absentee landlord
ism, all the cruelties of poverty, the
stupor of dependence. the unconscious, in
fanny that calls a people peons-all that
is the tragic legacy bequeathed by Por-
firio DiaZ.

Mr.. Dixon as q Witness.

when short on facts and the law.
abuse the other side Such was the ad-
vice of an old lawyer to a young lawyer
who had just qualified for the bar.
On the witness stand yesterday Senator
Dixon adopted the old lawyers policy.
The progressive generalissimo had prob
ably rehearsed the part he played. His
manner and words indicated preparation
He realized that he was on the eve OF
being unmasked. The senatorial inauisi-
tors would want to know all about the
amount of money necessary for financing
a movement having its origin in the very
hearts of the plain people. and Mr.. Dixon
was not perspring to tell.
So the willy gentleman from Montana
sought other topics. He insulted the
committee. He abused the Taft side and
the Wilson side. He sidestepped plain
and proper questions He assumed the
role of the prosecuted. He alternately
scolded. wriggled and backed away. By
and large. he made a spectacle Of him
self.
And yet. carefully as he had prepared
himself. and bold as he was in the
carrying out of his program, he did not
get away with it," He exposed himself
and his cause at every turn. His lodging
of questions answered them disastrously
to his side. and his general turbulence
bespoke the man in corner who could
not get out.
But there was one admission which
told volumes-told all that has been
charged against Mr. Roosevelt and his
bunco game. Mr.. Dixon declared that
whenever hard up he went to Perkins.
Yes indeed. Perkins, the plutocrat,
whose wealth has come from the trusts
Perkins. the business expert whose heart
and brain are still in trust employ. Per-
kins, the 'angel." who spreads his wings
and flies in any direction Mr.. Roosevelt
desires. Perkins. the capable man Of
affairs. who under third Roosevelt ad-
ministration would shape the whole trust
policy of the government
And has Mr.. Perkins always responded?
Mr.. Dixon failed to say, but there is
no risk in assuming that he always has.
He is not the sort Of man to put up and
then shut up. That is not business. Mr.
Perkins is engaged in a great gamble,
and there must be constantly ringing in
his ears at this time that old sporting
adjuration. Nothing risked, nothing
gained" Having opened his wallet to the
cause. he will keep it open to. the end Of
Among Mr. Dixon's numerous mistakes
yesterday was the assumption that a per-
sonal bearing not without impressiveness
and effect in a western mining camp
would equally influence a committee of
the United States Senate sitting in dignity
here at the capital Of the country.
