A QUIET CONVENTION
Some of the newspapers are talking
facetiously about the quietness of the
Populist National Convention which
recently met in St. Louis. They say
it afforded a welcome contrast to the
turbulence of the gatherings at Chi
cago and Baltimore a few weeks ear
lier. For a party which once polled
1,000,000 votes, ; and which carried
several states, they intimate that its
recent exit is somewhat tragic.
They are misaken about the trag
edy, but they are all right on the oth
er points. There was nothing for the
Populists to quarrel about, therefore
they refused to get angry at anything.
Not having any contested delegations,
they omitted the formality of a cre
dentials committee. As they had no
funds except what each individual del
egate carried, they declined to ap
point any treasurer. For the reason
that they 'had no longer a national
organization they did not need to ap
point a national committee. They re
affirmed the Omaha platform of 1892,
which was the Koran of their party
.in its great days, but they skipped the
little detail of nominating a ticket.
But where is the tragedy in this af
fair? By polling their 1,000,000 votes
in 1892, thereby aiding Cleveland to
get elected, they absorbed the Dem
ocracy shortly afterward, leaving
Cleveland without a party in the lat
ter lialf of his second term, and then
they compelled the Democrats in 1896
to nominate a man who had stumped
several states for their candidate,
Gen. Weaver, four years earlier. All
of the doctrines which the Populists
preached long ago which were not ap
propriated by the Democrats in 1896
or later on, were taken over by the
the Progressive at the recent conven
tio nat Chicago. There is more Pop
ulism than old-time Democracy of
Tilden and Cleveland in the Wilson
platform. Col. Roosevelt's creed is
almost all Populism, with a few follies
which the Ocala and the Omaha po
litical carpenters did not think of.
The superfluity of ticket was omit
ted by the Populists at St. Louis be
cause the Progressives had got ahead
of them in nominating it. There was

Miss Maley, Socialist
Candidate For Governor.
MISS ANNA AGNES MALY.
The Socialist candidate for governor
in the state of Washington is a woman
Miss Anna Agnes Maley. This very
efficient and clever lady was born in
Minnesota thirty-nine years ago. Rear
ed on a farm, at thirteen Miss Maley
went to Minneapolis, where "she work
ed for her board" and attended school
until a three years' course in the high
school was completed. After graduat
ing she taught in country schools until
she was twenty-two years of age. when
she took up stenography.
Later Miss Maley returned to school,
doing special work at the University
of Minnesota and in the Rand School
of Social Science of New York city.
From 1909 till 1911 she was a special
organizer of women for the National
Socialist party. For the past year she
has been connected with a Socialist
paper published in Washington state.
Miss Maley is already in the field
campaigning, and she Is regarded as
likely to run second among the candi
dates for governor, and her election is
not impossible if the old parties re
main split, as they are at present
"I care nothing for myself person
ally," said Miss Maley recently. "It
is the principles, aims and methods of
the National Socialist party that I
desire to see succeed. Our party has
stood upon this unmodified platform
since its organization social owner
ship and democratic control of the so
dally necessary industrial property."

"She was walking in Piccadilly the

And there they stood for a minute or
more, overcome by that ridiculous
something which makes two people
face to face on a wide sidewalk dodge
simultaneously this way and that with
out being able to pass each other by.
"Lady Constance after nine or ten of
these awkward movements smiled de

A
A CIPHER
TELEGRAM
By JANE PINCKNEY BENNETT
When the Russo-Japanese war broke
out Anna Zarenski, who had just be
come betrothed to Captain Paul Mick
ellenieff. was obliged to part with her
lover, who was ordered with his regi
ment 'to Manchuria. It was a love
match between them, and Anna suffer
ed tortures at the approaching separa
tion. "Paul, dear." she said to him, "can
you not send me a telegram every day
Instead of a letter? Any letter I may
receive from you will be several weeks
old."
"My darling! A telegram every day'.
Do you suppose the government would
permit the wires to be put to such a
use? Suppose all the lovers in tin?
army were to have such a privilege ac
corded them. There would be no time
for military dispatches. Besides, a tele
gram is open for others to read."
"Can't you telegraph in cipher?"
"A cipher telegram over a govern
ment wire? Such a thing would send
us both to Siberia."
But Siberia was better than the dep
rivation of two lovers to send loving
words, and the young officer said that
he would try to bribe an operator and
send her just one litle message by tel
egraph. But they must have a code.
So together they arranged a very sim
ple one. If a sentence began with the.
letter A. it meant "I love you as ever;"
if it began with B, "1 am well:" C, "1
am ill:" D, "Wounded:" E. "I am lone
ly without you:" F. "A thousand kiss
es;" G, "I have' escaped beiug injured
in the recent battle." and so on to the
end of the alphabet.
The captain left her. promising to do
all he could to get her telegrams
through, though he must use ft large
corruption fund. Money is a- potent
factor among Russian officials, and he
succeeded in sending a number of mes
sages. He did not attempt to send a
dispatch after a fight, when the tele
graph line was crowded with govern
ment dispatches. They were all placed
In the hands of the operator when no
fighting was going on. to send when he
could.
One day after receipt of one of An
na's most loving letters Paul decided
to reply over the wires. Taking his
telegram to an operator whom he had
already paid large sums, he handed him
his telegram, slipping 50 rubles In his
hand at the same. time. The operator
laid the message aside till he could get
rid of a number of orders being trans
mitted to the supply department at St.
Petersburg, but before he had sent
them all a skirmish commenced with

the Japanese, which ended in a battle!
It was not till the fight neared its
termination that a rush of telegraphic
messages began. While the struggle
was going on the operator had found
time to send Paul's message. It reach
ed St Petersburg just as the govern
ment was expecting news of the re
suit of the. battle. The telegraph be
ing in the hands of the government all
offices were closed. The only instru
ment in use was in the cabinet of the
czar. While his majesty aud his min
ister of war were eagerly awaiting
news from the seat of war a message
was clicked off for Anna Zarenski as
follows:
A bird in the hand. Every dog has his
day. Fortune favors the brave. Keep off
the grass. PAUL.
A terrible scowl gathered on the
brow of the minister of war as he read
the words and handed the message t
the emperor.
"A telegram in cipher, your majes
ty," he said.
The czar read it, and he, too, scowled.
"Telephone the police," be said, "to
arrest Anna Zarenski and bring her
here. Have her produce the key to
her cipher code under pain of instant
death.
When Anna was arrested she was
frightened out of her senses. She made
matterjr worse by at first refusing to
give up the code and only did so when
told that it was by the czar's order and
the penalty for withholding it instant
death. She was put into a carriage,
taken to the Winter palace and brought
before the emperor, and the high of
ficials gathered about him.
"What treasonable document is this?"
said the czar, handing her Paul's dis
patch. Anna tool; it. blushing like a
rose. She was very pretty and. traitor
or .no traitor, made an attractive pic
ture. "Take the key," said the emperor,
"and interpret the dispatch."
"1 beg your majesty to direct some
one else to interpret it."
"Obey the order." ssiid the czar
sternly.
Anna began the interpretation.
"A bird in the hand " She hesitated
"I love you as ever " "Every dog ha?
his day." "I am lonely without you "
' She was too mortified to 'go on.
"Proceed." said the czar.
"Fortune favors the brave." "A thou
sand kisses." "Keep off the grass."
"Coodby. my angel."
The czar's features relaxed. Callins;
for t lie key. he assured himself that the
interpretation was correct .
"You are forgiven," he said, holding
out his hand for her to kiss.
Dropping ou one knee, she pressed
her lips to it in gratitude for the par
don. "And your lover' is included in the
boon," added the czar. "For your
sake I shall order him home on gov
ernment business, and I trust your re
union will be very happy. But do not
again use the government wires for
love messages.'"
With a smile, he dismissed, her.
