Real Cause of

MINNEAPOLIS, June 2S.-Il-

roads, according to Charles II.

Highway association, in an ad-

Promotion of Engineering Educa-

convention here today.

is marriage falling off in Taco
ma. Is June losing its popular
ity as the month of brides?
Verify, IL would seem so.
During June, 1912, blushing
brides and nervous grooms to the
number of 1877 marched up to the
Cupid window of the county audi
tors office. So far only 1877 cou-
pies have appeared this month
who wished the marital knot tied.
Maybe it is because the marxs-
manship of the little god with the
bow is deteriorating. Perhaps it
is because II has been an extreme
ly moist month.
Whatever the reason, the fact
remains there were more brides
last June than this.

GOVERNOR SUFFERS TRIAL.

The impeachment trial of William Sulzer is re-
markabe for two things. Nobody yet knows
whether the court will hold the subject-matter of
the most damaging testimony against him a valid
basis for impeachment Nor is it apparent that if
the impeachment proceedings fail merely because
his violation OF the corrupt practices act was CON-
mtted before he became governor, any other form
of punishment be meted out to him. 1t looks
very much, this period of the trial. if the ques-
ton of his complete disgrace complete legal exon
Grafton hung upon one technicality
But testimony by Mr.. Suffers friends that their
campaign contributions were given him to be spent
for any purpose he chose-political or personal
takes the sting of criminality out of his acts in
legal sense only We doubt whether any amount
of evidence he may offer in his behalf will re-
move the common-sense conviction that campaign
fund is campaign fund and that contributions to
it are not intended to be DETECTED into brokers'
Offices. 1t has frequently enough happened that they
were used dishonesty; but rarely has any poll
tician been corrupt not to hold them at least
sacred to the immediate purpose for which they were
given - the election of the candidate. Whether
this was to be done 1egitimately or crookedly has
always been secondary consideration New York's
governor has apparently been guilty even of violat
ing the recognized rules of the worst of his class.
But it does seem impossible that the members Of
the court of appeals who are sitting in the trial
would stand for such technicality as this-that If
a will only testify later to the purposelessness
of his campa gn contribution the latter need not be
reported in the candidates statement of receipts
and expenditures William Sulzer makes nc denial
of the fact that, the candidate for governor of
New York, he solicited and received large amounts
which he did not report as campaign contributions.

ANOTHER WISCONSIN IDEA.

Wisconsins State-not Federal-forest reserves
are almost equal in area to some of the smaller
States of the Union; total of rather more than
100000 acres, mainly in the wonderfully beautiful
and healthy lake region of the northern part of tine
State. The State is spending good deal of money
and attention restoring the forests.
1t is proposed, among other things, to make this
forest reserve domain resort for sufferers from
tubercuar troubles Those who for lack of means feel
unable to meet the expense of long soourn in the
woods will be given employment in the nurseries and
other establishments the State is maintaining They
will be given the opportunity to work as much or
little they able and always to keep strictly in
open air and sunshine. Sanatoriums, forest nu.-
series, and the like are to be established The man.
ayers of the original State sanatorium for consump-
tves which established before this forest-reserve
idea developed, have found that one Of their most
difficult problems is to provide interesting satisfying
light out-of-door work for their patients The
scheme of turning big section of the reserves into
health resort for this especial class is believed to
meet precisely this difficulty.

SENATOR LODGE.

Senator Lodges recovery from a very serious
surgical operation is now said to be substantially
assured Friends and foes facona and partisan, will
unite in hoping this may prove true.
AS one of those that have not often been able
to agree with the Senator, The Times is able very
candidy to say that he is of the type of clean sincere,
able, thoroughly equipped men of whom the public
service needs more
Men with brains and honesty, Ike Lodge, get
around to thinking straight after awhile. Lodge is
of another generation of thinkers, that is all. If
Massachusetts finds in the next generation Senator
capable of taking his place, that Senator will
be so radical that radicals of today would be shocked
at him.

THE STORE DELIVERY CASES.

In consolidating all the various pending cases in
volvng store-door delivery of freight in Washing
ton, the Interstate Commerce Commission has taken
step toward early and satisfactory settlement of the
issues. series of opinions one on one branch OF
the case and another another perhaps by differ
ent commissioners and coming at considerable in
tervas, could not possibly clear up the subject will
single opinion dealing with all the issues raised.
When we know whether freight delivery is finally
ended, and whether there is going to be some COM
pensaton for its withdrawal it will be possible in
teligenty to take up other steps in the contest One
thing good to observe is that in many cities in this
country there is organizing demand for freight de-
iveres by the railroads, as in Europe. The railroads
have vastly the best chance to keep this expense
down to a minimum, and at time when such items
add uncomfortaby to living costs, it certain that
the subject will get good deal more attention than
ever in the past

JUST PLAIN COMMON SENSE.

The British admiralty has determined to extend
complete recognition to labor unions; to deal with
them in. their organized capacity, to receive their
delegates and to handle differences with them pre-
csely other big employers have learned to do, by
getting together and talking things over sensibly.
The admiralty is merely giving up rather silly
attitude that governmental administrators have pre-
tended necessary to their dignity, when IN truth
it made them ridiculous. There has been too much
of the same kind Of foolery in this country. If the
government is perfectly willing to deal with l00Ooe
stockholders of great corporation through that
corporations executive committee, why on earth
should it not deal with 100000 workmen of union,
through their executive committee? Are dollars So
much better than men that they may organize and
men may not?
