Santa Cruz County on Saturday con-
Guided a successful Goods Roads Con-

radical campaign and plan OF action.
AS it was fully representative of all ma
terial interests, we may assume that the
scheme will be carried out SO far as
Santa Cruz is concerned. As to its
State propositions-for system of
State highways with county feeders
and district laterals; for a direct tax
On all property for a State road fund;
for district tax for betterment of
roads in given districts; for selection of
a road engineer or expert in each
county to have charge of all road con-
struction and repair-well, these are
sweeping propositions, and all good but
as to whether the people are able, or
are as yet sufficiently convinced of the
economy of good roads to adopt the
plans, are questions of much doubt.

Debs is to lecture before the students
Of the Chicago University. The story
that the faculty had forbidden it turns
out to be the invention of a Chicago
reporter The inventive genius in the
field of mendacity of the average Chi
cago reporter is something to cause men
to marvel. But it would have been bet
ter had the story been true. Why should
the students desire to have Debs lect-
ure before them? What good can it do?
What can he tell them about himself
and the Infamous conspiracy to over
throw the Government that they do
not already know? Of course, the fac
ulty is understood perfectly when it
says that it believes the safest way is
to have the students hear Debs in his
own defense, rather than exalt him by
prohibition, and all that That indeed
all prohibition of free speech is danger
Gus and that the truth cannot suffer
under the assault of error. But is this
true? Sophistry has more than once
crippled and hindered the truth Debs
is nothing more than an agitator. He
is in no sense a reformer. He is the
apostle of nothing except disorder and
discomfort; not a generous, wholesome
discomfort that leads on to better things
and gives momentum to the car Of pro-
gress, but the discomfort that is born
of untruth, false theories and illogical
reasoning, envy, hatred and jealousy.
If the students Of the Chicago Univer-
sity have time from their studies to
sit beneath the droppings of the Debs
pulpit, they could utilize it to better
advantage in studying the fountain
sources Of patriotism and justice.
1t would seem from yesterdays dis
patches that the Bourgeois plan for
calling the National Assembly of
France together has failed completely.
Under it the Senate would have been
cudgeled soundly and possibly have
been abolished for some other form of
upper house. But the story comes that
President Faure, forgetting the con-
tumely showered upon him by the SEN
ate, or smothering his pride, has swal-
lowed his chagrin and really gone over
to the Senate side of the difficulty If
so, his downfall Is not far off. When
ever the politician joins with his enc
mics to mollify them, hoping that his
friends will still remain true to him,
he digs his own grave. Faure is doing
what in our own politics has been done,
and invariably with disaster. The
parties or men who placate their enc
mics and permit their friends to drift
are always deserted by the latter. and
deservedly so. Faure would have been
more respected in France had he stood
out against the Senate. AS it Is, his
action may precipitate a revolution,
and once more put the fate Of the re-
public upon the chance hit Of a bullet
or the strength of a barricade.

Two Inventions by Men Who Have SYM
pathy For Their Fellows.

Two Inventions by Men Who Have Sym
pathy For Their Fellows.
There are two persons at least in the
world who entertain feeling of SYM
pathy for the man who blows out the
gas aud the man who cannot find the
keyhole. They have shown their inter.
est in practical way by patenting in.
ventions for the protection Of the one
and the assistance Of the other of these
benighted individuals.
OF the two inventions the flag" de-
vice is the simpler, and probably will
prove the more popular. 1t consists Of
a small searchlight, by means Of which
a worthy but inebriated citizen may To-
cate the keyhole in his front door. The
light is q small incandescent globe, as
big as the end of mans thumb. 1t is
sunk in the jamb of the door, behind a
small but powerful lens. whose rays are
focused on the sometimes elusive key
hole. The lamp is operated by small
push button in the Intel Of the door
way, so located that the wayfaring man,
though exhilarated, may not fail to find
it. One push lights up the keyhole, and
the latchkey does the rest.
The device for handicapping the gas
blowing imbecile is delicate in its con-
oeption and no less certain in operation.
1t consists Of a metal disk, suspended
from the arm of the gas bracket, just
behind the frame. The disk is delicate
ly poised just in front of metal peg.
The disk and the peg are the two ends
of an electric circuit, which is normally
open, but when the man goes to blow
out the gas he blows the disk against
the end of the peg and closes the circuit,
which automatically cuts off the flow
of gas. st. Louis Globe Democrat.

RHYTHM OF MAJ. IS RoAR.
Musical Notes Heard i

Musical Notes Heard i cat water

Eugene Thayer, tho well n organ.
ist has published an analysis -. g music
of Niagara falls. In an article in Trinity
Record he says:
at had over been my belief that Mag.
ara had not been heard as il should be,
and in this belief turned my steps hithor-
ward What did hear? The roar of Nj
agara, I heard nothing but n perfectly
constructed musical tone, clear, definite
and unapproachable in It's majestic periec-
ton, complete series of tones, all uniting
in one grand and noble unison, as In the
organ"
Mr.. Thayer then describes at some
length the compound nature. of given
tone and illustrates the overtones or par
tials of the lowest G of the 32 foot pipe OF
the organ Then he continues
az had long had suspicion that
should hear all this at Niagara when her
wonderful voice should first greet my ears.
1t was just as had supposed. How should
prove all thiss My first step was to visit
the beautiful Iris island, otherwise known
as Goat island. My next step was TO stand
on Luna island, above the central fall and
on the west side Of the American fal.
proper. / went on the extreme eastern
side of the island In order to get the full
force of the larger fall and sat among the
rapids. Next l went to the Three Sisters
island.
"with more or less variation Of pitch at
these and many other points, heard
everywhere the notes of the chord OF g,
only four octaves lower.
81 arrived at my conclusion both theo-
retically and practically. Let me first call
attention to the third and fourth notes, ID
and G.
"The ground note, G, was SO deep, so
grand, so mighty, that never could realize
1t or take 1t into my thought or hearing
but these two tones, only four octaves
lower, were everywhere, with q power
which made itself felt as well as heard
"But, 1t will be replied these two notes
were too slow to be detected by the sense
of hearing. How did l determine their
pitchs
III frst caught the harmonic notes above
them that were definite In pitch, and then,
counting the number of vibrations of these
lower two notes, easily determined their
distance below.
"And hero comes curious feature
which proves that Niagara gives tone
and not a roar. The seventh note, the
interval of the tenth, was of a power and
clearness entirely out OF proportion to the
harmonics as usually heard In the organ.
"were the tone Of Niagara mere noise
this seventh note would be either weak or
confused or absent altogether.
"what Is Niagara's rhythm Its beat Is
just once per second. Here Is our unit OF
time-the chronometer Of God"

extra compensation for overtime in work
were accommodating ut the rate OF 10000

pense to the service has been steadily
diminished, and the reports for October
show that the amount for that month
was only 1876 hours for regular letter
