For some unaccountable reason Miss
Guile and her companion preferred to
travel alone to Paris. They had a
private compartment. over which a re-

exercised an authority that irritated R.

Did anybody ever see a conven-
tion of public officials like these post
masters in Washington-which made
its politics so conspicuous and was en-
couraged by the head of the nation in
his address to consider themselves
as Democrats rather than as public
servants. In old days, before civil
service reform came, they used to
charge that the Republican postmast-
ers were the most offensive partisans
in the whole bunch, but they didn't
get together and label themselves a

MORE, FACTS TO BEAR IN MIND"

MORE FACTS TO BEAR IN MIND"
Under the heading, "Facts to Bear
in. Mind, the literary bureau Of the
Dsnocr4sic NationaE Committee hands
out this to the confiding editors of the
country: I'm 1912, Mr.. Taft carried
only the States of Vermont and Utah,
and each by mere pluralities, not ma
jorities".
While bearing these facts in mind,
we hope the innocent Democratic ed
itors will not overlook the further
facts that Mr. Wilson did have ma
jorities and not mere pluralities in
some states-and that that these states
were every one of them in the south
where, by grandfather laws, and
other devices, none but Democrats are
permitted to vote and to have their
votes counted. These states, it may
be desirable to recall We're, Alabama,
Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Louisi-
ana, Mississippi, North Carolina,
South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas and
Virginia. These states gave Mr..
Wilson 1876 electoral votes-and every
one of them was procured by force
r fraud. In 1912, Mr.. Wilson Sc
cured 300 other electoral votes, but
he got none of them by a majority
vote; and he was actually in the min
ority as compared only to the COM
bined vote for Taft and Roosevelt in
every state where both of these can
didates was voted for.
And another "fact to bear in mind"
is that plurality is all that is re-
quired to secure the electoral vote
of any State.
If Democrats, whether editors or
laymen, can get any comfort, out of
these facts, we sincerely hope they
will "bear them in mind"

ONE QUART is LIMIT
Expres Company Directs Agents Not
To Deliver Liquor Packages
Larger Than That.

Jackson, Miss, Oct 24-The South
ern Express Company has directed its
agents in Mississippi not to deliver
packages OF liquor containing more
than one quart or packages of beer
having more than thirty-two bottles
to any persons under any circum-
stances.
The decision of the Supreme
Court" the express company says.
''voids the ruling of the lower court.
but does not afford the quart-at-a-t time
law"
This means that the express COM
pany will not deliver packages in vio-
lation of the law which is to be voted
upon by the citizens of Missssippi
next month.
Gallon packages of whiskey and bar
rels of beer are piling up in the local
office of the company. These are to
be shipped back in n few days. it is
said. The shippers are being notified
rot to send more than a quart of
whiskey or thirty-two bottles of beer
to any one person every fifteen days.

JUDGE STOPS SUIT
Declares Evidence Introduced Against
Governor Is Not Pertinent
To PetdtfOYi

oO'SessOh - WV
To Petition.
Louisville, KY, Oct 24.-The, suit
o. the Kentucky Distillers and Ware
house Company to recover $4,000
from the United States Revenue De-
partment came to an abrupt halt in
the Federal Court. At the conclusion
of the testimony proffered by Mar
shall Bullitt attorney for the plain
tiff, Judge Evans said that none of it
was pertinent to the petition field. He
said that 1t would be useless to give
the case to the jury on the facts that
had been submitted.
He set December | as the final date
upon which Bullitt could file an
amended petition and gave the gov
ernments attorneys until February
to file their answers. Judge Evans
stated that the amended petition would
have to be more specific. The testi-
mcny introduced, he said. simply went
to show that tax had been paid on
the whiskey withdrawn and did not
touch the meat of the suit, the equal
ling charged by the government. In
the amended petition the plaintiff
will have to give the serial numbers
of all liquor withdrawn and prove that
the taxes paid were correct.
