Efficiency Shown in Baggage Claims

Nashville, Tenn, Oct. 14.-The
old-time baggage smasher" is fast
passing out, and the railroads have
stressed the necessity for prompt and
careful handling of the baggage of
passengers to such an extent that
the efficiency of a railroad system
may be reflected by it's baggage
claims.
This is true of the Nashville, Chat
tanooga & st. Louis Railway which
handled 3,O1O,SS3 passengers last
year and whose total baggage claims
amounted to but $1,6O4. This in
cludes Lost" " Damaged" and Lost,
damaged or destroyed and means
that sometimes railroads are called
upon to pay claims for ''lost'' bag
gage which was never delivered to
he railroad-but that's another
story.

The Thaw Paradox.

The Thaw case is one of the stand
ing paradoXes of American jurispru-
dence. This man was acquitted of
murder in the killing of Stanford
White because he was alleged to be
insane at the time of the crime, but
was sent to prison for the criminaliy
insane and there held. He later put
up claim Of recovered sanity and
sought release through court proce-
dure. and failing to obtain it finally
made his escape into Canada and was
from there sent back to the United
States, where, after long judicial
procedure, he was restored to the
state of New York, and now in New
York city, after having been &C
quilted of conspiracy to effect his
escape. he is on trial before jury
as to his sanity. He is endeavoring
to prove that he is not mentally IN
balanced, and his attorneys are call
ing expert witnesses in his behalf,
some of whom are testifying that in
their judgment Thaw is not now and
never has been insane. Thus where
as it was sought to be proved in
Thaw's behalf at the first trial that
he was mentally irresponsible at the
time White was killed, proof is now
being advanced in his interest that he
was sane on that occasion. Owing

lied for several reasons; and as Mr..
Fairbanks was leader in the move
ment some years ago which trans
ferred Indiana from the democratic
to the republican column, if change
from the democratic column back to
the republican is now on the cards
he would be good man to benefit
by it.
Mr.. Weeks and Mr.. Borah are now
in Office, and giving their party the
benefit of a large experience. Mr..
Mann likewise is in commission, and
approaches larger opportunity than
he has yet had. He will lead a
healthy minority in the House when
Congress assemblies; and all the is
sues on the eve of a presidential cam
paign will be important.
Seldom has party Possessed
presidential timber of such superior
quality. All of it is good and sea-
soned. Any stick of it would make a
safe and substantial prop. Burton,
Root, Fairbanks, Weeks, Borah and
Mann are national in reputation and
experience, while Cows. Whitman and
Willis, and former Gov. Hadley are
promising men of local influence. If
a dark horse issues from the republic
can national convention he will have
to possess very rare points, or the
party will not have improved its op-
portunity or have met the emer-
eency.

Completing the Plaza.

Tangible proof that the government
is actually taking the remainder of
the lands in front of the Union sta
ton for an extension of the plaza
park is now presented by the work
of razing the buildings on the lots
lately acquired by condemnation.
This process has been long delayed
owing to the blockade of the origi-
nal awards, and now there is a free
field for park-making operations. The
blocks earlier acquired, in the first
condemnation, have been cleared of
houses, and one OF them has been
graded and sown to grass, with the
result of a striking improvement in
the appearance of the region. But
there stands on one side of this
graded and grass-sown block an ugly
building that houses fire truck COM
pany. the removal of which is ap-
parently postponed to some vaguely
indefinite time in the future. Oppo-
site is block that has been cleared
of structures, but is not yet graded,
and the contrast between the two is
such as to inspire the hope that no
more time will be lost in smoothing
out the scars left by the destruction
of the buildings.
When the plaza park is all cleared
it will be one of the most attractive
open spaces in Washington, perhaps
without equal in proportions and set
ting. The visitor to the capital will
gain an impression, upon leaving the
terminal station, that cannot fail to
be inspiring, with the Capitol and
other public buildings forming
background for a semi-sylvan scene
Of wide extent. Just now, in the
process of park making, the outlook
is somewhat incongruous, and it is
the painstaking care of all Wash
ingtonians who escort friends from
the station on their arrival to ex-
plain that this is only the beginning.
Perhaps their explanation would be
made more convincing if those who
are in authority would remove the
unsightly shack that stands opposite
the post Office, to the west of the
station, where fruit and souvenirs are
sold. 1t hardly seems necessary to
endure so dishguring a presence
while waiting for the completion of
the other parts of the plaza-making
work.

The Submarine Clint"

1t is suggested that the reported
voyage of several German submarines
from their home base around the
French coast to the straits of Gibral-
tar into the Mediterranean is intended
in part as hint to the United States
of what may happen to this country
if it should eventually go to war
with Germany. 1t may not be ques-
toned that the German undersea
boats could reach our coast and could
perhaps for short time inhict dam
age upon our shipping on this side
of the Atlantic. But the possibility
of such warfare is not likely to af-
feet American sentiment on the
score of the Lusitania or any other
issue with Germany, and it may be
doubted whether the authorities at
Berlin have had any thought of CIV
ing such hint to the United States
in dispatching the submarine hotilla
to the Mediterranean. In the first
place, as practical matter, no Ger
man or any other European subma-
rines, save possibly British, could
long subsist in American waters.
They would have no bases of opera
tons such as those maintained by
Germany within cruising range of
the English coast In a short time
these submarines, if they ever came
over, would be helpless, and would
fall easy victims to destroyers. But
such speculation is idle, for it is not
conceivable that the German govern
ment is actually trying to scare the
people of this country out of their
support of the President in his de-
mand for reparation for the injuries
inflicted upon them in the sinking of
the Lusitania.

The President.

If, as now seems likely. the ffeSi-
dent is forced by circumstances to
abandon his projected trip to San
Francisco. he will lose nothing politi-
cally. The difference between his
case and that of the republican presi-
Dental aspirants who have visited
the fair and taken note of things po-
litical on the way across the contl-
nent is marked.
They are thinking of delegates to
the republican national convention.
Where unknown, or but slightly
known, they want consideration of
their claims to party leadership, and
to meet the people face to face. 1t
is time for them to be stirring. Some
times it is the early candidate that
catches the delegate.
Mr.. Wilson is not hunting dele
gates. 1t is assumed in his case that
democratic sentiment is committed to
his denomination. He has no rivals
for party leadership. He needs no
introduction anywhere. Where not
known personally he is known by
reputation. His deeds speak for him.
If it we're necessary for him to hight
for indoors ment in his own party. the
party's prospects would be hopeless.
Unless he is renominated by accla-
nation. and with at least show OF
enthusiasm, the republicans will have
a walkaway.
1t is the democratic platform, there
fore. that would count in any speech
es OF a political nature Mr.. Wilson
might make at this time on a trans
continental tour. And who may say
what that will be? Not even Mr..
Wilson himself could forecast it. IT
the war is still in progress next year,
and even if we are still outside the
fighting zone, foreign affairs will be
prominent in the campaign. If the
war meanwhile is brought to an end,
domestic affairs will hold the center
of the stage, and there will be very
pretty fight on that line. The demo-
cratic record on the tariff, on trusts,
on the support of the government,
and on other matters, is full OF ma
terial for a warm contest between
the two parties.
Will Mr.. Wilson do any stumping
next year, If he finds himself in
close corner, may he not take that
course? There would be no loss OF
dignity in his doing so. The people
are the source of his power; and in
one way or another he gives an &C
count to them of his stewardship. He
will want to be reelected, and 1t will
be important for him to have his case
presented with the fullest possible
force. Why, then, if his campaign
appears to need his presence. should
he not respond. and at a few vital
centers explain his record by word
of mouth? He is not stumper of
the conventional brand, but his Office
would give to his utterances great
weight with crowd.

to the peculiarities of our laws he is
entitled to make this latter plea,
however contradictory it may be.
And, furthermore, if he should escape
from further detention by virtue of
verdict that he is now sane and has
never been insane, he cannot again be
placed on trial for murder, having
been once acquitted on the ground of
his insanity at the time of its COM
mission. Verify the law is a strange
thing.

Saved

When independence day was not
So safe and sane
The small boy in the lot
With might and main
Would revel in the noise
And glad display.
Yet nearly all the boys
Were we'll next day.
But father dear at night
Would light some punk
And scatter left and right
The blazing junk.
He scorched his hands and head,
And burned his coat.
The things that father said
We cannot quote.
The day is safe and sane.
Oh, sweet reliefl
The youngster fears no pain
Nor filial grief.
For father dear no more
Next day will try
To work with fingers sore
And bandaged eye.

Republican Assets.

Mr.. Burton has not announced for
the presidency yet. His name is
mentioned in connection with two
other places. He would, it is agreed,
make an excellent Secretary OF State,
and a contest for Mr.. Pomerene's
scat in the Senate approaches. Hav-
ing served with distinction in the
Senate he would, of course, upon re-
turn there resume his place among
the leaders.
This is true also of Mr.. Root. Cos
sip associates him, first with the
presidency, then with the State De-
partmcnt, where he made an admit
rable record, and then with the SEN
ate, where he found another field
suited to his tastes and talents. He
declares that he does not desire Of
fice again, but nothing is more likely
than if next year proves to be re-
publican year he will soon be in off,
cial harness again. The country re-
fuses to accept his plea of age. In
this land and era man of seventy
is thought to still possess a good deal
of life and usefulness.
A third man enjoys this distinction.
1t is suggested in the case of Mr.
Fairbanks that he would make a
strong President, most capable Sec
rotary of State, or again an able
senator. He is being doomed for
President. but without formal war
rant by him. The republicans of In
diana are hoping to elect successor
TO Mr.. Kern. Democratic conditions
in the state are somewhat democrat.
