WORLD GLIMPSE.
The Hague .
, The International tribunal that has
its-headquarters at The Hague will
' of necessity have to dictate terms for
the control of vessels doing Interna
tional passenger business. It is
against the laws of the nations now
to shoot negroes, Indians, or other
' people with dum-dum, or' soft nosed
bullets; and it surely looks as if It
, were only right that carriers of human
life should be .required to provide rea
sonable conveniences for their safety.
Many of us have ridden on vessels and
have wondered when, If ever,. theUfe
saving apparatus would W used, and
possibly many a boat carries for yews
the equipment unused; . but no one
knows, and Its. best always to 04 on
Ine safe side of danger.? ,' '';

Their Death Song
' What was ever more solemn than
the scene when the marine band, on
board the Titanic played "Nearer, my
God, to Thee," while the great hulk
was slowly, settling Into the waves.
It was their own requiem. . The chilly
waters- covered their feet,' and crept
up, and up, and up, till hungry ocean
swallowed them all i ;. ; "

, Who knows of a'deed. nobler than
this?' A perishing man who attempt

he did he would imperil' all on board;
he pushed himself away, saying, "God

Deeds Rewritten
If all the acts of emprise of the past
were forgotten, from King Leonldas
of Thermopylae to the sweet story of
Damon and Tythlas, and all the trag
ic tales 'from that of Sharaus O'Brien
back to the Argonauts be lost, yet in
the lives of moderns their equal could
be 'produced. So long as man and
woman .remain human, so long will
there be tales galore of brave doings.

went down possibly more than a mil
lion letters. When the first trains
were moved from Omaha after the re
cent Mississippi floods, 350 tons of
mall came westward for San Francisco
alone. To be sure much of this was
for the Orient. This was. carried on
a special train made up ' of 17 cars,
carrying 34 clerks, and would tnke on
no more additional' stuff enroute.' ':

NEWS FORECAST FOR $
THE COMING WEEK S
"Washlneton. r. r.Anrll 9.1 Massa
chusetts promises to furnish the most
interesting political news or tne com
ing week. Presidential preference pri
maries will be held there to select all
delegates to the ;coming national po
litical conventions. The nrliTnirlns In
the Bay state, will Offer a test of senti
ment different from any that has gone
before, inasmuch. as they will not be
complicated with local fights, of any
kind. They .are called for the sole pur
pose of electing delegates to the na
tional conventions and they, will not
affect a single state or county office.
They will not be indicative even of
'sentiment affecting the governorship,
or national Issues, for that matter, for
the state convention is eliminated and
the Massachusetts delegates to Chica
go and Baltimore will not be governed
even by a platform.
The names of Taft, Roosevelt and
La Follette will appear on the repub
lican ballot in Massachusetts. Both
Taft and Roosevelt have visited the
state several times during the past
two months, and it is generally admit
ted lhat the race beween them will be
close. .
On the democratic ballot will appear
tut names of Clark and Wilson, though
it is understood that the Massachu
setts delegates at Baltimore will vote
for Governor Foss on the first ballot.
The primary results will determnie
who is to be second choice of the
Massachusetts democrats
Both Taft and Roosevelt are fighling
for the New Hampshire delegates, who
are to be selected hv the
! state convention which will meet on
; Tuesday in. Concord'.
, Pennsylvania republicans ara to
meet In state convention In Harrlsburg
Wednesday to nominate candidates for
auditor general, state treasurer and
four congressmen at large and to se
lect 12 delegates to 'the national con
vention. Encouraged by their success
in the recent primaries the Roosevelt
followers are laying plans so tnat
their control of the convention mav be
unquestioned, and also with a view of
overthrowing Senator Penrose and to
completely wreck his political ma
cnine. . . i '
