S, attorney at Seattle to facill- tate in every way the opening of the decree and securing for Olsson a new trial."—Attorney General Wickersham, " That is the attitude of Taft and his department of justice in regard to Federal Judge Hanford’s decision in depriving a Tacoma man of his citizenship papers because he is a socialist. Taft is against the recall of judges Taft is against the recall of judicial decisions : But Taft, in the Olsson case, favors the recall of a judicial decision. And this action by Taft will be remembered in the fight to impeach and recall Hanford. MRS. FRED MULLET, Charlestown, Mass. sting for]! divorce, says she thinks a wife ought to have half the bed anyhow. A fellow who would be unkind to a wife willing to occupy only half the bed is named Mullet all right. re A COURT has read the word “knowingly” into the Dis- trict of Columbia liquor laws and so saloonists can sell to minors without danger. The Parcels Post as a Club Tn one of the medium-sized cities of the country the merchants @epended largely upon river transportation for receipt of their goods. Freight rates were so high and rivalry among transportation companies go slight that the merebants concluded that there was a conspiracy to maintain exorbitant rates. They formed a company, bought a small steamer and prepared to put it in operation, whereupon the freight rates came down. They tied their steamer to the dock and refused offers from prospective buyers, believing that, although not running, their steamer was a good rate regulator. It is probable that if a parcels post law should be enacted, providing rates varying with distance, and just high enough to cover cost of opera- tion, the express companies would go low enough to get the business. But that would make little difference to the shippers. The parcels post Jaw would be better than a steamer tied up at the dock, for it w Nothing for caretaking and reciation, but would keep the express Fates down nevertheless. What the people desire is lower rat more comprehensive service. A parcels post law will either provide this or force the express companies to provide it MRS. CARNEGIE, 'tis said, declares she gave up her girlhood ambition, which was to marry a poor man. Sort of an intimation that Andy kidnaped her, isn't it? Or were all the poor men too busy? Blood Will Tell To look at Winston Churchill, one of the big men in the present Mbera!l cabinet of England, you would think the first lord of the admir- alty a typical sprig of the English aristocracy. He ts big and red-faced, end when he speaks—at least on the American lecture platform-—-pro inces his words like the typical cockney. Today is todie and away awie. Bat it so happens that Churchill's mother was an American woman, @pd that American blood tells in unexpected ways. Every once ip a while Churchill makes all England sit up and take notice of bis Amert ean quality of hustle. The other day the house of commons was to take a vote on the second reading of the Irish home rule bill Churchill, as boss of the navy, was at Weymouth to show the king how the big ships can sloot As a consequence, in all the London clubs the betting was that the bill Would not pass by more than 100 votes, But they reckoned without their Churchill. That young man left Weymouth by train at 6 on a Thersday evening. reaching London—150 miles away—at 10 o'clock. He cast his vote for the bill, motored 120 miles back to Bournemouth, reaching there at 5 o'clock Friday morning. ‘was rowed out to the Swift, one of the speediest torpedo boat destroy- ers in the world, and steamed to Weymouth, where he rejoined the king at 10:30. All of which looks very big to the Britisher, but very ordinary to us Americans, who are so used to hustle that we would rust if we didn't keep up the pace.
