AND THE ELECTORS.

We are meeting with new situations,
politically with vengeance, ana IL -
not strange that the conservatively in-
clined do not fancy them. The latest
of these is the intimation, or the favor
ed suggestion, that Presidential cleo
tors may vote for whom they please,
irrespective of what candidate il
nominated by National convention.
1t is true that there appears to be
no law against an elector playing
traitor to hi National organization,
in order to remain faithful to his
state constituents but should this idea
be followed, it means the death Of Ma
tional parties, and pure rebellion. III
would represent the old fable Of the
bundle of sticks, which can easily be
broken singly, but not when used as
a whole.
The removal Of the moral obligation
from the elector, removes also the
monor. The proposition that there
would be no dishonor attached to the
act if announced in advance, does not
help the situation, 10 far al salvation
Of party is concerned. If state can
secede, at such a time, what becomes
of the party as countrywide power?
What becomes or the Union principle?
The whole present situation in the
Republican party, which is responsible
for the development Of this new plan
OF party suicide, must be held to mean
that personal ambition and dictator
ship is Of greater value to the coun-
try than the combined wisdom Of a
concentrated majority, and shows to
what length the spirit of insurgency IL
prepared to 60, in order to rule or

board of inquiry will determine the
responsibility for the accident. 1t is
believed it was due to permitting the
water in the boiler to run too low.

THEIR LOSSES OVER 10000 IN
BATTLE OF THRECIAN PLAINS
LAST WEEK.
ARMY NFULL RFTRFATFORTH CAPITAL
Thrilling Charges by Cavalry, Desper'
ate Attacks by Infantry and Ar
tilery Fire Described by
Correspondent.

London.-The Turkish army is in
full retreat on Constantinople, and the
Turkish government has asked the
powers to intervene.
An official bulletin has been issued
by the government at Constantinople
admitting defeat at the hands of the
Bulgarians in the great battle on the
Thracian plains. The killed and
wounded number more than 10000.
Some estimates place the Turkish cas-
ualties even as high as 10000.
Application has been made to the
embassies in Constantinople for medi-
alton by the powers and to end the hos
tilities and arrange peace agreement
The ambassadors prior to this had
asked the porte to grant permission to
each of the great powers to send one
warship thorugh the Dardanelles, and
this request has been complied with.
The only guaranty of safety for the
native Christians and perhaps foreign
ers in Constantinople is to be found in
the presence in the harbor of the
Turkish capital of the warships of the
great powers
Bulgaria May Decline to Listen.
1t is the general belief that Bull
garia will refuse to listen to anything
in the way of Intervention until the
Bulgarian army is at the gates OF Con-
stantinople, and will insist that Turkey
make an appeal direct to the allies
without interference from the powers.
The powers have not been able to
agree upon the French premiers for
mula of territorial disinterestedness
which is not acceptable to Austria or
Germany The powers are taking steps
for the protection of Christians and
their own political interests in Turkey
One warship in addition to the vessels
already dispatched to Turkish ports
will be sent through the Dardanelles
by each of the powers.
Wonderful Bravery of Turks.
The Times correspondent with Naz
i'm Pasha's army pays tribute to the
Turkish retreat after the battle of Lule
Burgas. He says:
= ''In all my long experience of the
miserable scenes of war l have OBJ
served nothing finer than the retire
ment of the Turkish infantry. JUS
as they sauntered into action, so they
sauntered out, beneath a terrific fire
I from the Bulgarian artillery.
; There was no mass formation in The
retirement. 1t seemed as if suddenl.
the whole land had become people
The men were in hundreds, but the.
were all shaken out in wonderful ex
tension. They seemed to care nothing
, for the rain of metal which swep
down upon them. Nor could l see tina
the fearful storm of shrapnel did an.
great execution among these mel
whose steps it could not even hasten
"Slowly and deliberately, with in
1 domitable courage, the Turkish infan
: try retired, and we retired after them
f.. Nor had they to retire far, for thi
l country is one long succession of ad
: mirable positions from Lule Burgas t
: Tchatalja."

The Funeral.

Utica, N. Y.-After a brief public
service attended by President Taft,
high government officials and throngs
of personal friends the remains of
James Schoolcraft Sherman, late vice
president of the United States, were
laid to rest late Saturday afternoon in
the Sherman family mansoleum in For
est Hill cemetery
The First Presbyterian church, the
largest religious edifice in the city.
was large enough to seat only small
part of the great throng of the fellow
townsmen and friends of the deceased
statesman who gathered to do him
honor
Throughout the service hundreds
stood with barred heads on the street
outside, and later, in solemn silence,
viewed the start Of the impressive
funeral cortege from the church doors
to the cemetery, where, again, many
others had gathered to witness the
last rites for their fellow townsman
who had been highly honored by the
entire nation.
The public service at the Presby-
terrain church had been preceded by
private service at the Sherman hame.
There no eulogy was read or sermon
preached, but prayers from the liturgy
of the Dutch Reformed church and
scriptural readings constituted the GER
emory.
The Rev. L. H. Holden, D. D., pastor
of the Reformed Dutch church, con-
Quoted the ceremony at the house,
while the service at the church was
under the direction of DR.. M. w. Stry-
ker, president of Hamilton college, as
sisted by Dr. Holden.
Church Draped in Black.
The church was heavily draped in
black, but the flag and the colors of
the nation, emblematic of the rank of
the dead man and the official nature
of the ceremony, formed a striking re-
lief to the color note.
DR.. STRIKERS eulogy was brief, but
couched in eloquent and inspiring Ian
guage. Besides his address, there were
choral music, prayers and scriptural
readings.
President Taft and others members
of the governmental party came as
guests of the senate, which had in
charge the official end o. the ceremo-
Inial.
Special space had been reserved for
the official party and for the family
: and intimate friends, as well as other
prominent guests from the city, state
} and nation. After these had been
seated the doors were thrown open to
admit fraction of the concourse of
people which had gathered.
The service was completed and the

Japan Feels The Cost Of Living.

The cost of government in Japan has increased enormously as a result of taxation made necessary to meet war expenditure and an aggressive forward policy in extending the commerce of the country, in providing better edu- cational facilities and in colonial ad- venturing. The result of extravagant governmental outlay is shown in the heavy advance in the cost of living, in volving as it does a consequent reduc- tion of wages The workers can no longer subsist on the wages they get. Japan is poor country, and the suf- fering is greater there than in other countries richer in natural resources and in productive capacity; but the problem of bringing income and outgo into some more nearly equivalent re- lation seems to be world wide It is the upperInost matter engaging the at tention of the people of the United States in this year of our Lord.

Who Dragged Him In?

MT. Roosevelt asks a generous pub lie to believe that he was dragged in to the campaign" Who dragged him? Certainly not the seven little governors flor all they did was to ask the third termer to become a candidate in viola ton of his reiterated statement that he would not do so. All he needed to say to them was that he would keep his pledge. More important, however, is the question as to the vast sums of money being used 10 promote the Roosevelt candidacy In New York city alone $71,000 was spent by the two Roosevelt organizations. Of this amount, $45.600 was given by Perkins, Munsey and Cochran and smaller sums by gentlemen deeply interested in the wool schedule In Allegheny county-the Pittsburgh county-$31, GOO was spent, of which Boss Finn gave $22, 000 The advertising bill in Mas sachusetts was $75,000. Money is be- ing contributed in large amounts in
 the far western states, and also for use among the delegates already elect ed from the south. Money was lavishly used in Maryland. Money is now be- ing poured into Ohio by the barrel And all this is for the purpose of win ming the nomination for a man Tn i whose behalf the people were to rise as one man"-Indianap News.

What is a pound? It is a standard of weight; fixed by both law and custom with careful eXactitude; exactly the same throughout the entire country. It has absolutely nothing whatever to do with bulk. "A pounds a pound, the world around" whether it is a pound of fluffy feathers filling a bag, or a pound of lead shot that you can hold in one hand
 What is a bushel? It is a standard of capacity, also fixed by law and GUS tom with painful exaetitude. It is the same the country over; containing just 2150.42 cubic inches. A bushel of water weighs about eighty pounds: a bushel of thistle-down might weigh an ounce or two The weight would make no difference; it is only the bulk which a bushel measures. Yet for years, legislatures have been indus triously engaged in mixing these babies up," till at last we've reached a state of most complete higgledy pig gledy confusion, in the fog of which those who are best posted and most cunning can often take petty advan- tage of those who are either ignorant or more trustful.

California To Massachusetts.

In California according to the count reported in the press dispatches, there were cast for republican candidates 147,000 votes and for democratic candi- dates B, 900 votes; about five republi- can votes to one democratic vote In Massachusetts, with q democratic gov ernOr, the republican votes were about three and a half times the democratic votes Nobody for a moment believes that five republicans went to the presi- dential primary in California to one democrat; everybody knows that thousands of democrats did in Cali fornia what Roosevelt said they did in Dakota-voted for one of the republi- can candidates. In Dakota they voted -.so Roosevelt said-for La Follette in California they voted for La Follet- te and Roosevelt; in Maryland they voted for Roosevelt who openly bid for their votes.

 Big Business' is capable of some mighty small business, at times. One of the petty tricks by which it jockeys and over reaches the farmer is in the utterly absurd and illogical way in which it juggles with weights and measures. l don't mean by the simple cheating with false scales or false quarts to which some peddlers and a few retailers resort. l mean the way in which having carefully jumbled the law beforehand, it proceeds to mix things up" to it's advantage and to our loss.
