A Case for Brotherly Sympathy.

Mr.. George W Perkins is inclined to sneer at the
Republican National Committee because IL confessed
by its action last week that the system of rotten
borough" representation by which national conven-
tons have been controlled in the past was vicious
He says that the committee admitted Inconsistency
and asked indulgence for the errors of the past
Yet that attitude was in itself praisewOrthy aud
as a large minded Progressive he ought 10 give 1t Il
smile Of encouragement II is hard to acknowledge
error and on general principles a generous pro-
wider like Mr.. Perkins ought to feel tenderness
toward any body of politicians with Prodigal Son
tendencies.
1t must not he forgotten that the fault Of per-
petuating the old system of unequal representation
does not lie entirely at the door Of the present ma
tonal committee, nor yet at the door of the conven-
ton of 1872, 10y which it was appointed There
were opportunities offered before 1912 To remedy.

best of them came in the convention Of 1905. when
the Burke resolution, purpOsng 10 do what The ma
tional committee has just done, but 10 do il much
more effectively. was defeated because ii did not
have the sanction of the Roosevelt administration
Mr. Roosevelt was willing 10 the overrepresen-
tation granted the South to secure the nomination
of Mr. Taft and for fear Of offending the Southern
politicians he let the system stand. only To become
himself victim of IL four years later
Every element in the old Republican party-even
that which withdrew I'm 19l2-was directly to blame
for the perpetuation Of rotten borough abuses.
Colonel Roosevelt, Mr.. Perkins and the other Bull
MOosers suffered acutely from them four years ago
and cut loose from them. The Republican party
has also had its lesson and is now ready tn cut
loose from them-at least III part. Between these
two chastened and repentant bodies there should he

THE WHIP IN THE
CURRENCY MATTER
BY JOHN

Washington. D. c.. Nov. 24.-That
the currency bill will eventually be
SNAPPED in conference by a committee
Of the two houses OF congress-, with
the president in a position to dictate
what the conference shall do, Is be-
coming more and more apparent. The
Senate banking and currency commit
tee reported to the Senate today it's
inability to agree. The debate will be-
gin Monday and last many weeks.
Whatever bill passes the Senate will
be greatly changed from the House
bill. This will leave the way clear to
the conferees to rewrite most Of the
bill under the rules governing confer
ences. When the conference report ia
made to each house. amendments can
not be considered, and the report will
nave to be adopted or rejected. Under
such circumstances, it is expected that
a majority of each house will support
whatever bill is finally presented. The
president. it is we'll known, expects to
shape the bill about as he wishes In

BLOODY GARMENTS
POINT TO MURDER

Aurora. Ill, Nov. 24.-The blood
soaked part of an undergarment, with
a school book and a revolver, both
spaatered with blood, found here yes
terday in a car Of lumber consigned
from from South Bend, Wash, was not
a girls clothing, but belonged to a
woman, Police Captain Wirz said to-
day. In the school book, a German
Day, of Springfield, Ore. was written.
The first theory Of the police was
that the child owner of the book might
have been lured or dragged into the car
and attacked and slain. Closer exam-
ination of h garment convinced the
authorities that it was a part Of a
Woman's dress rather than that Of a
girl This belief was further confirmed
today by word from Des Moines, Ia,
that Miss Day is visiting there and is
alive and well.
Miss Day thought Alice Mccormack, a
teacher of Springfield, Ore, might be
the girl in the mystery. Other names
in the book besides that of Miss Day
We're DR.. A. H. Day, Colville, Wash;
Charles Mantz, Colville, Alfred Love,
Des Moines, la Mrs. c. A. Day, Port
land, Ore; Mrs. d. H. Smith, Union
vile, Ia.
The car in which the bloody clothing
was found was in transit since October
70 and was loaded almost to the roof
with flat lumber Both side doors and
one END door were sealed. The other
end door was open. Near this the
clothing and the revolver were found.
Inc ponce are now proceeding on the
lheory that a woman was murdered
and that her clothing was slowed away
In the car, together with the incrimin-
ating revolver. Some of the clothine
could have been lost out of the door.
