A real sensation was created in the city over. the order and the Kansas City Star look vote of the patrons If the street car company to as- certain whether they wanted smoking on the cars or were will ing to permit it. Of course a ma : jCrity of the wtmen and a very large proportion of the men pa irons voted to sustain the No SnC kipt" order.
 The council finally revoked it's ordinance, but the men of Kans City, be it said to their credit, ac- cepted public opinion as their guide and refused to smoke on the street cars. Then an effort was made to re-enact the "No Smok- ing" ordinance. We are not in- formed whether the ordinance was passed or what the legal status Of the case is just now, but the kansas City Star is authority for the statement that ordinances cut no figure in the practice. The men of Kansas City arc not smoking on the street cars and, more than that, are rather taboOing any fresh young or old man who at tcmpts the habit.
 1t is a decidedly unusual thing to iInd the men of whole city giving les on in manners by their example. Even invcteratc smokers must admire the action of inc Kansas City men who, by common consent, have furnished a st' king object lesson in civic manners.

The old Hebrew proph- ct knew that if he could once get his enemy down in black and white, his ignorance and lack of horse sense would show up so plainly that he who ran might read and the Yiddisha seer would then have the horse laugh on him. Some of the would-be followers of Horace Greeley should wipe the dust from the good old book, look this text up and ponder we'll the wisdom of Job.

A WoRKINoMAN's APPEAL.

V -, made in 1910, made by a com mittee from the Valdez Miners Union No. i88, against the re- election of James Wickcrsham, as delegate to congress, and repeat ed again this campaign, is worthy of the thoughtful consideration of every voter who can lay aside personal preferences and prcju- dices and cast a ballot for what he deems the best interests of the territory as a whole. The ap- peal to the electors is a diSpa.;- sionatc review of Mr. Wicker sham'S record upon the bench and of two years service at the na- ii"nal capital as our representa- tiv" in the halls of congress.
 Al the time this appeal was made il Was pointed out by Mr. Wickrrsham'S friends that he was only finishing up his first term and that it was unreasonable to expect much nf him in the short time he had served. Since then, two more years have elapsed and We find the spOkeSmen for the delegate telling their audiences that we must not judge MT. Wick crsham by what he has accom- plished, but. rather by what he has tried 10 do. Judging him from the latter point of view, we are compelled to admit that the com- mittee of representative laboring men were right in declaring that our delegate misrapreScnted, rather than represented, us in Washington.
 Since the election of two years ago Mr.. Wirkersham has made no effort tO grant relief to inc wage "arnrr by rrmcdying the lien law, SD as tO make it effective. He has repeatedly announced himself as opposed tn Ihc government ownership of an Alaskan railway, of the government owning and operating ifs own coal mines. He has opposed every leasing bill by which our coal deposits might he opened by private individuals or corporations. He has opposed further appropriations for the building of government roads and trails. He has at no time, in no way. shown any interest in either labor nr Ih" development of the territory.
 No w0rkmrn arc better able 10 iudG" the efficiency of public servant in our legislative halls. than organized labor. for ihcy maintain a bureau in Washington for tn" purpose of keeping lab on their representatives. They are not led asiray by dikr bill and h"m" rule grand stand plays. which have neither merit OF truth in either their conception or car rying out. II is indeed a hopeful sign of the times when organiZ- cd labor casts aside inc damagog- uc and refuses to be led by tho cheap clap-irap of the political charlatan who is continually spc- ing a bogcy, which Inc alone can successfully combat, as lhe pre- server of the lives and liberties of inc dear people.
 It is indeed truth when they say, Legislation at Washington, per- taining lo Alaska, is being hinder ed by the disagrceablcncss of Wickcrsham. His many uuarrcls arc not due to the fact that he is working for Alaska, but arise from prejudice in some cases, and in others in trying to gloss over his past record while judge in Alaska"

SEVENTH MAN
IS ACQUITTED
OF LYNCHING
Pennsylvania Judge Declares Verdict of
Jury Is a Public
Calamity.

Westchester, Pa, May 4.-Lewis Deni-
thorne of Phenixville, Pa, who was
placed on trial in the Chester county
court Thursday, charged with second
degree murder in connection with the
lynehine of Zach Walker at Coatesville,
last August, was acquitted by jury
Yesterday. The principal evidence
against Denithorne was a confession he
was alleged to have made to the police
in which he admitted participating in
the lynching.
Counsel for the accused man declared
to the jury that Denithorne was weak
minded. and that the jurors should not
give his confession much weight.
Judge Butler, who presided at the
trial, appeared aggrieved at the verdict,
declaring to the jury that he regarded
it las public calamity to law and
order in this state.
Another defendant, Louis Keyser, was
at once placed on trial on like charge.
There are five Others awaiting trial. Six
men were tried last fall for murder for
participating in the lynching, but all
were acquitted.

ed to turn the reciprocity utterance OF
the president to their political advantage
if possible.
Conservative leaders announced late
yesterday that they contemplate the
most vigorous examination of the
government, especially as to why Am
bassador Bryce failed to report President
Taft's views to the home government.
Shirley Benn, NJ. p, announced last
evening that he would ask the foreign
office from the floor whether Ambassa-
dor Bryce's failure to acquaint the gov
eminent of the opinions held by the
president of the United States was not
reasonable. He was bitter in his denun-
citation of Bryce for failure TO prevent
"disgraceful episode" and asserted that
the British government must show that
it resents the sentiments attributed to
President Taft.

BILL PROVIDES FOR
COINAGE OF 3-CENT PIECE
House and Senate Both Believed in Favor
and Treasury Officials
Approve.

Washington, May $50 strong were
the reasons advanced for the coinage OF
three-cent piece in the report of the
House committee on coinage, weights
and measures, submitted yesterday by
Representative William A. Ashbrook of
Ohio, that the passage of the bill by both
House and Senate at this session seems
likely. Senator Pomerene of Ohio ex.
poets to offer similar bill in the Sen
ate.
The House bill carries also provisions
for the coinage of a one-half-eent piece
and provides that both of the new coins
MS well as the present leent piece shall
be made of IS per cent. copper and 20
per cent. nickel, which is the same com
position which for many years has been
used in the Scent piece. The compost
ton of the present l-cent piece is 30 per
cent. copper and 5 per cent. tin and zinc.
This easily corrodes and is dangerous to
health in the opinion of the committee.
Franklin MacNeagh, secretary OF the
treasury. has given his approval to the
bill. which was originally introduced by
Representative Robert j. Buckley OF
Ohio. Heretofore the treasury depart
ment has been opposed to these new
coins on the ground that they would not
BIZ easily distinguishable from the 10.
cent piece. The committee decided to
leave the diameter, shape and designs Of
the new coins to the treasury depart
ment.
George Roberts, director of the mint,
has suggested that one be made with a
scalloped edge like the one-anna piece OF
India and that the other be perforated,
like some of the Chinese coins.

London, May 3.--That Ambassador
Bryce may be recalled as the result of

der the proposed agreement the United

Not in many years has the country at
