However that may bo, thoy havo tponod the campaign, and with what KosulM time alono "will tell. They hope to win over tho volor with catchy arguments on "Protection tor tho Boys," "Shall tho Majority, dovorn. (They base tills argumont on tho result of tho last election), "Chrlstlon Citizenship," "Personal Liberty" and "Home Rulo." When tho time comes that tho youth of our laud must be protected from tho ovlls of tho liquor habit through tho aid of Prohibition, then It Is high tlmo for Ood In his Intlnlte wisdom and omnliotonco lo put an oml to tho nropogatlon of tho human specie.

Nor Is even that all. There are those who aro saying, with a show of reason, that thus a precedent will be estab lished for tho suppression of the spec ial correspondent In all future wars It may bo so. From one point of view there are reasons why It should be so. The fact Is that In modern conditions of warfare the war corres pondent may easily become a practical spy. Indeed, It Is not easy for him to avoid doing so. In old times he might bo located at headquarters, learn the plans of campaign, wrlto about them as fully as ho pleased, and send the matter to his paper without harm. By tho time his letter could get to the enemy through the slow process of tho malls, the plans ho had disclosed were executed. But now the telegraph and cablo have change I all that. A correspondent at Fong-Wang- Cheng, let us say, might send news to his paper In London or New York of General Kurokl's plan of advance against General Kuropatkln, and It might bo published in that paper and bo transmitted to Kuropatkln at Llao Yang within an hour, or long before tho movement It disclosed had begun Such sending out of news would be a fatal betrayal of military secrets, such as oveiy prudent commander Is bound to prevent. Nor Is that all. Tho wireless telegraph has added a new porll to tho situation. It has prac tically placed tho special correspon dent In ono camp In direct communi cation with tho enemy's camp. No wonder commanding generals on both sides aro Insisting that the corronpondonts, at least with very few exceptions, shall keep o far to the roar that they will not know what li going to happen until It has actually happened. Thoro are, however, somo serious objections to such censorship, and thoro would bo somo gravo difficulties In tho way of enforcing It In some wars. A war conductod "undor a blanket" would glvo rise to suspicion and ac cusations of Inhumanity and violations of tho ruloa of warfare It would be said that tho generals kept correspon dents out of tho camp because thoro woro things going on which they did not dare to let tho world know. Moreover, whllo tho peoplo In Rus sia and Japan may acquiesce In such secrecy. It Is not iilfflcult to Imagine what an outcry would bo raised against It In most other countries In coun tries In which tho pooplo have been acoustomod to a fullor knowledge of public nffalnr. The cry would bo raised thnt the llfo of (he Fathorlnml was hanging In the bulanco, and et the soverolgn pooplo wure not permitted to know what was going on. It would bo a strong government Indoud. In a popularly govorned coun try, that could statu! against such clamor. Perhaps tho correspondent may come to realize that tho solution of ihe problem nnd tho determination of their future are In their own hands. If tho) will discreetly restrain them- solves from playing, oven Involuntarily uis parts of spies and marplots, and confine themsolveo sorumilouBlv in t opening accomplished facts, they will probably find the gates of opportunity still open to them and their services to the reading public will assuredly not be Impaired.

The Publishers' Press News associa tion says: "Hobsow was loudly cheered when he said It was a Democratic President who alone had been bravo enough to enforce the laws against labor unions." The one feature of President Roose velt's administration which most de serves the approval of men of heart, judgment and patriotism was his set tlement of the coal strike by consulta tion, conciliation and arbitration. That act shines out nobly in contrast with Cleveland's military rate Into Chicago against the railroad strikers. A feat for which ho won the lasting grati tude of every trust In the country. In charity It must be supposed that the St. Iouls convention did not hear exactly what Captain Hobson was say ing. As for that heroic young man himself, It Is to be regretted that ho abandoned the fighter's trade. .mW,ii rf!' 1 ajsw1 (T'J flT TO! rr""""" "o"" 1"r"r ' At" firs. : a high cough Low Coughs r-Caisfefc I . rr . 1,ir pniir-h fi Inner pntiori A-j A STRANGE SPEECH TO CHEER.

Permanent Postal Experts. One of the obvious lessons deduced by thinking men from the overhaul ing which the postofflce department has received during the past year Is that the time has arrived when some of the embalming fluids should be drained out of the postal system. Our mall service, notwithstanding Us seeming efficiency, has long been merely drifting with the tide. The work of the system is managed by a department in Washington with a few responsible heads and a great army of assistants. It has been ad ministered under laws that have grown up stone by stone as the build ers have seen fit to put them in, al most wholly by Irregular legislation attached to appropriation bills. For 20 years, the Sentry believes, there has scarcely been passed a well-considered and systematic postal law, yet within that period the number of functions has perhaps been doubled and the volume of transactions has Increased manyfold. Each of these new features has come In by a single clause or proviso or prohibition in on appropriation bill directly contrary to tho rules of congress itself, which forbids new legislation In such enact ments. The result Is that certain features have been added illoglcally; they have not been properly legislated about, and the hands of the department are tied by other provisions added from time to time at random, so that, to a great oxtent they are conflicting and Inoperative. The system has been built up by fits and starts and spurts on the part of departmental divisions and bureaus In Washlngeon, and the whole depart ment is subdivided into sections, each In charge of a man who is Interested solely in exploiting and developing his specialty. This would be meri torious energy If all subordinates were equally energetic and zealous In tho performance of their duties. But as It Is, the energetic one3 secure ad vantages while the Inert ones sit still and do not grow. Thus some branches push ahead of others; tho least meri torious, perhaps, getting advantages, while others more Important are neg lected. Thus It has come about that this greatest business enterprise In the world, a function greater In magnitude of transactions and number of em ployes than all the other branches of tho government combined, has no sys tematic, coherent, Intelligent organlza- tlon. It is a bundle of haphazard in consistencies, needing at many points a master mind with a free hand to vour chest. That means a low cougu, a iuhK wuugu. Aytf yuui wwv. . membranes. ?... (Jherry reciorai m-.ua . - ",w.. mold It Into proper form. Prnmnt and decisive acuu... the Sentry believes, is needed to reniedv this fatal defect. A shotgun policy In politic yields scattering dividends to a few cemetery stockholders-but is otherwise unprofitable. A gatllnp gun campaign against postal corrup tions and abuses will have to be made before congress and the people will bo aroused to tho Importance of cor recting the many evils hidden from general observation, but well known to experts In practical administration. The Investigation recently made has attracted public attention to some Hpfects of the service, but It has only touched a small part of the four great bureaus of the department, and has accomplished little or nothing in tho way of remedial legislation. It is to be hoped that at an early date a Joint committee of the senate and house of representatives will take Into consid eration the reorganization or tne whole system and make an attempt to put It on a rational, scientific basis. It will take a long tlmo and require tho highest wisdom of the best men in congress. They will need mucn outside help from persons familiar with the details of postal affairs, but there are plenty of good men in the departments and in the postofllces of the country who can be called upon) for assistance. One practical postmaster-geneial a few years since publicly stated that If he were running this service as he would his own business ho would have a board of three of the best men he could get In the United States at a salary of $10,000 a year or more each. They would be "actuaries" with the duty of understanding and compre hending all the details, having a per manent tenure or omce and frj their whole time arm meir best Ho, to Its correct administration. board would act as reforeo inaj. portant matters, glvo advice as t, J 4 HAIR TELLS CHARACTER.
