British on Lake Erie. with ships Of war

Maine Election a Torpedo Signal
From the New York Herald.

From the New York Herald.
A fine opportunity for batting Mr..
Roosevelt and his progressive followers
is afforded by the special election for
member of the House, of Representa-
tives in the third Maine district. The
slump" was not as great as it was in
the election in st Louis last spring
when the progressive party almost en-
tirely disappeared but it was enough
to demonstrate that the prOgressives
cannot hope longer to give elections to
the democracy by running third
ticket. Only by going solidly over to
the democratic party can they do that
But the lesson for democratic leaders
to study is that the election is a dan
ger signal 1t has been the fortune
of that party ever since the civil war
to remain n very short time in office. A
duplication of the situation In the third
Maine district all over the country at
the congressional elections next No
vember would very nearly give the
House of Representatives to the re-
publicans in the Sixty-fourth Congress.

Rioting in Toxic.
From the New York Evening Post.

TDt NEW
Either the loyalty and discipline Of the
Japanese people have been exaggerated
or else the population of Toxic Is not
typical of Japan. The frequent recur-
renee Of riotng in the mikado's capital
certainly betrays no inclination on the
part of considerable number Of his
subjects to accept without protest what
ever governmental policy Is imposed upon
them in the mikado's name. 1t is a
changing Japan, with parliament defying
the elder statesmen and women ha-
ranguing the crowds. 1t is a Japan ex-
periencing the growing pains of q mere
nation that is becoming a power. The
country Is torn between imperialistic
dreams and crying need for peace and
retrenchment

The Commerce Court has been n pet

President Taft wisely proposed it. The
purpose of the court was to hasten ad-
Indication of appeals from the rulings
of the Interstate commerce commission,
to relieve the several general courts of
intricate cases requiring special knowl-

IF all men did what they are

work could be easily accom-

This is quite true. but eircum-

one to do what one is BEST
fitted for. 1t is possible, how
ever, to do WELL what for
tune, or misfortune, as the case
may be, has placed before us.
The man who does an uncon-
genial task WELL is the man
who quickly finds congenial
work. The man who whines and
fumes over his work is usually
the fellow who gets the worst of

FRAUD ORDER MAY ISSUE
ON POSTMASTER TUTORS

WASHINGTON, July 1870 many
ingenious and misleading misrepre-
sensations have been sent out by cor
respondence and other coaching
schools to coax money from the
10000 fourth-class postmasters who.
eventually will be required to take
civil service examinations, that the
Civil Service Commission has made
complaint to the postal authorities. II
is expected that prosecutions will fol-
low and that fraud orders will be
issued against the publications of
several of these educational" insti-
tutions.
One coaching school sent out notices
in imitation of civil service publca-
tons, in which it was stated that ex-
aminations would soon be held and
directing them to inquire at once for
instructions. Another concern offered
for SO to send postmasters sample ex-
animation questions and other infor-
nation. which can be obtained free
from the Civil Service Commission.
