This Old Earth.

In recent lecture Sir Oliver Lodge,
the eminent English scientist who is
now visiting America, announced that
the earth would probably continue to
exist for 20,O00000 years, more. These
are, of course, round numbers. Some
scientists estimate that the earth will
live for ten times this age. There have
been animals of one kind and another
on this planet for fully this length of
time. The dinosaurs are believed to
have lived through some such period
The age of man, which is probably only
a few thousand years, seems the mer-
est triile by comparison. When we
consider how man has developed dur
ing recorded history, which is less than
ten thousand years, we may hope that
he will evolve to an infinitely finer type
in the future.-Boys' Life.

VILLAGE OVERRUN BY DOGS
Housewives Of Silver Lake, New York,
Had to Guard Kitchens From the
Hungry Animals.

The hamlet of Silver Lake, on the
outskirts of White Plains, N. T.. is all
"het" up because of the large number
of dogs that have migrated to that
section, according to the New York
Evening Sun. In the daytime they for
age through the town and at night
they make sleep impossible by their
bowling.
Silver Lake has population of
about 500 persons, and 1t Is said that
there are 141 dogs, one lap poodle and
half dozen hounds by actual count.
A staid old resident says that there
Is every kind of dog imaginable in
Silver Lake--small ones, big ones,
short ones, long ones, dogs with no
tail and one eye, lean ones and fat
ones, but mostly lean ones.
This great influx of dogs to Silver
Lake has created many nuisances. In
fact. the housewives don't dare leave
their kitchen doors unlocked or half n
dozen hungry nuts will be roaming
around trying to find something to eat.
The story is told of how one woman
baked raisin pie for supper for her
husband. She left it on the kitchen
table to cool while she went about her
household duties. A little later She
heard a great commotion, and when
she went to the kitchen she found half
a dozen hungry CANNES, big and little,
fighting for the last ralsin of her pie
She struck them with q broom, but
that did not do any good, because they

Gov. Cox Stands For Present

By GEORGE WHITE
Chairman Democratic National
Committee.

Governor Cox, Democratic can
dldate for the Presidency, Selec-
ted by the most representative,
most untrammeled, most pro-
gressive convention ever held in
the history of American institu-
tions, stands for the present day
spirit of go-aheadnesS. He be-
lieves that the world is a moving,
advancing, vitalized world, that
it cannot be successfully turned
backward. He doesn't believe
that it needs a soporific; a seda-
tive, maybe, but not Il soporifc.
Mr.. Cox's record as Governor
of Ohio is a continuous record of
advancement-of progress. His
consideration of industrial ques-
tions has always been judicial,
sympathetic and understanding
ly accurate. His decisions have
been received with satisfaction
by both capital and labor where
controversies have arisen and
where conflict seemed imminent.
Ohio, great industrial State that
she is, has had more than her
share of industrial complications.
Governor Cox has Steered a
steady course, and the record
when he has made as chief eX-
ecutive of his native State is an
indication of the record which
he will make as Chief Magistrate
should he be elected in Novem-
ber, as | confidently believe he
will be.
What he has done as Governor
of Ohio he will do in Il greater
way as President Of the United
States, where his opportunities
will be vastly greater. He is
far-seeing, a man Of vision who
is not visionary, a modern man
who thinks in a modern way,
and, more than that, acts as he

NEW PACIFIC RATES
WILL BEGIN TO-DAY
Freight Conference. Of Ship
owners to Put New Tariff
Into Effect.

TOXIC, Oct. 1.-The much discussed
Facihc freight conference Will be a
reality from November /. new uni
form freight tariff under the new ar
rangement going into operation from
that date.
Negotiations for the establishment OF
the freight conference have been n
progress at Kobe between japanese
American and British shlpowners since
September 7. For time difficult prob
lens arose as to the proposal TO estab
'ish headquarters of the freight confer
ence at Kobe instead OF Yokohama. az
originally proposed, and also regarding
the forward movement contracts made
previous to the new arrangement, and az
TO the question whether the japanese
tramp owners should be urged to join
the conference.
All these questions. however. have
now been settled. The headquarters OF
the freight conference are TO be estab-
lished at Yokohama. as originally pro-
posed. The majority of the shipping
companies concerned, however, have
their principal Offices In Kobe. and 4 s
stipulated that If 1t Is deemed advisable
10 transfer the headquarters to Kobe
the matter viii be decided by a general
meeting OF all the shipping concerns
affiliated in the conference. As to the
second question, whether the Japanese
tramp owners should be urged to join
the new freight arrangement, it IS
agreed that though their adhesion 8
desirable. no further delay In the carry
ing out of the new arrangement Is to be
desired. and therefore the demand that
they should be excluded should be
agreed to. Forward freight contracts
already made are TO remain vaild.
though particulars of the contract7
should be recorded to the headquarters
Of the freight conference.
AS a temporary arrangement until
the date of operation Of the conventional
freight tariff, the steamship companies
have agreed to adopt the present rates
Of the Nippon Yusen Kalsha. Under the
new tariff freight rates are TO be raised
in widely varying degrees. while the
rate on some goods Is left unchanged
For instance, there will be no change in
the rate on general cargo, which Is $40.
and in another case the. rate Is to be
raised from Sc to 81. Generally speak
ing freight rates will be raised, 1t Is
said, by an average OF about SO per
cent The object of the new arrange
ment, however, is not so much to raise
freight rates as to maintain unified
freight tariff.
The shipping companies signatory TO
the freight conference number eleven.
comprising the Nippon Yusen kaisha,
the Osaka Shosen Kaisha. the Togo
Kisen Kaisha. the Canadian Pacific
Ocean Steamship Company, the China
Mail Steamship Company, the China Pa

American Express Company, the Pacific
Mall Steamship Company and the Water
house Company. or these concerns the
three subsidiary Japanese companies
must obtain permission of the Govern
ment to adhere to the freight tariff
adopted by the Pacific Freight Con-
ference, but II is understood that the
necessary permit viii be given in due
course.
