\ SUMMER WITH 4 GREAT INVENTOR Marconi is Perfecting Mechan-
 ism For TeIegraphing Without Wires

xNarconl Is spending much of his time this suRsnrar On the bit of beach lying to the north of Poole Harbor - on the English channel-which he calls his Laboratory" It is the strangest laboratory ever estab- lished by any scientist, and even those who are familiar with the ordinary form of wireless telegraphio apparatus would scarcely be able to recognize the kind of work he does In it. For Marconi has changed the form of his experimental work cylindrical tin cans make for him more convenient capacities and radiators than vertical wires-and tables covered with tin cans, wires and miscellaneous instruments

COMMENTS OF THE PRESS

-AnneXing peoples TO the United

and privileges of American citizens is
imperial; un-American and, from the
republican point of view, absurd.-St

When the administration soph-
lists and grabbers shall have shown
that the constitution does not affect
any new territory acquired by the
United. States, they will have less
difficulty in showing that it does not
apply to any American territory
whatever.-St. Louis Post-Dispatch.
-Anti-trust leagues hold confer
ences, listen to able speeches and adopt
resolutions declaring trusts, combines
and monopolies "must CO." But the
republican congress continues to bind
tighter around the people the chains
of high protection, which fosters and
supports many trusts. = Nashville

When Mrs. Jessie W. Bolte t.,ld the

for every 1000 people killed by the

by the frying pan she made a grave

where the human race would be with
out the frying pan. It is the symbol

A SUMMARY OF KANSAS EVENTS.
a Tale of Rank Ineratitnde.

Something like 20 years ago Barney
Bohen killed two Anderson brothers
at Brookville- He was sentenced for
life, but his faithful wife worked for
Is years and finally secured for him a
pardon. During these years she regu-
larly sent him money and boxes of
Injuries to lessen the tedium of his
confinement But, upon being re-
leased. Bohan ran away to Montana
without even going to see his faithful
spouse, and for several years she knew
nothing of his whereabouts. By pat
enting a smoke consumer Bohan be-
came well-to-do, but when his wife
searched him out and asked for aid
ne disowned her and cast her off with
the charge that they never had been
married. But Mrs. Bohan has secured
proofs of her marrige and now she
is proceeding against her husband
with all the fury of a woman scorned.

OUR SHIFTY PRESIDENT.
Double Dealing of the Chief Execu-
tive In His Treatment of Cues
lions of State.

When a man plants himself square
ly on both sides Of any question the
impression left on the popular mind
is that he has cbliterated himself as
factor in the discussion, and this has
clearly happened in the case of the
president and the Porto Rico tariff
question.
Mr.. Mckinley began by saying in
congress in December that it was "a
plain duty" to remove all tariff re-
strictions on trade between Porto
Rico and the rest of the United States.
He gives to some of those who talk
with him the impression that he is
still of the same opinion. But it is
known that privately he is telling the
republican congressman that they had
better pass the ways and means COM
mittee's bill providing for tariff on
imports from Porto Rico. We do not,
of course, suppose that Mr.. McEin-
ley expected when he put in the rec
ommendation for free trade in his
message in December that he would
be urging congressman to maintain a
tariff against Porto Rico in February.
The final result of such stiffness in
the white house is that on this ques-
ton the presidents power over legis-
lation established by the constitution
becomes a nullity. The president con-
forms to the constitution in telling
the congress what he thinks ought to
be done, but at the same time tells
congressman privately that he will be
just as well suited if they do the
opposite thing and that whatever they
may do will meet his approyal.-Hart-
ford {Connl Times,

The bill to prohibit prize fighting in
Iowa that was reported last week by
the senate committee is as strong as
could be wished. The penalty pro-
vided is a fine of $500 and 90 DAYS in
jail-an absolute sentence without
discretion lodged in the judge. The
persons attending such an exhibition
are liabis to conviction as having aided
and abetted in the violation of the
law, and they also are to be punished
with q fine of $500 and 90 days in Jail.
while the owner of the hall or build
ing in which q prize fight is held is
equally guilty.

THE ONLY SURE WAY.
of High Protective Tarif
Would BE a Blow to the
Trusts.

In considering the action taken by
the antitrust conference at its meet
ing in Chicago it may be said, without
discussing the wisdom or timeliness
of other features of the platform
adopted, that the plank which declares
for the withdrawal of protective tariffs
from all articles controlled by trust
strikes an effective blow at the root
of the trust evil.
It has become plain to the people of
this country that the high protective
tariff which, at the expense of the con-
Stunning public, has made possible the
building up of certain mammoth cor
porations, has also brought into being
the trust as palpable menace to the
general good. The operation of the
tariff gave to these favored industries
a control of the markets. Established
control naturally led to the trust or
combine idea. The advantages born
of the destruction of foreign COMPETE
ton inevitably suggested the advan-
tages sure to follow the elimina ton of
the element of domestic competition
by means of the combine" for the
regulation of output and prices.
The trust system would be broken at
it's strongest point the moment pro-
tectige tariffs were removed from all
articles controlled by the trusts. The
intrenched Notifications behind which
the trust forces have been organized
would be swept away, and this ire
mendous influence forced into the
open. Competition with the whole
world would mean, first and foremost,
healthy competition at home. The
centraliZing tendency of commercial
and industrial enterprises would thus
be effectually checked. The American
| people, the consumers, would be the
immediate and direct beneficiaries of
| this wholesome reform.
Nor may it now be charged that in
| justice would be done to American
merchants or manufacturers by this
abolition of high protective tariff.
The very concerns that are now "pro-
tected'' from European competition in
| their American, or home, markets are
to-day actually underselling those
| European competitors in European
markets. They are doing this, of
| course, because they can manufacture
| the same or better goods than their
| European rivals at less cost. What
| justification, then, is there for pro-
| tective tariff which causes the Amer
lean consumer to pay a higher price
| for the same American product than
| does the consumer in a distant Euro
| pean market?
| The unfairness and iniquity of the
| high protective tariff of to-day is thus
| apparent in the worlds daily market
| transactions. The trust, the greatest
| existing menace in American life at the
present time, is the creature of the
| high protective tariff. Abolish the
tariff as no longer necessary to the
| protection" of American industries
now able to undersell Europe in her
| own markets. The moment that is
! done the worst trusts will die for lack
of sustenance unjustly drawn from the
| general stock for the Mountaineering
| of a favored class.-St. Louis Republic

Kansas BANK Deposits.

Bank Commissioner Breidenthal
gave out a statement showing the con-
dition of the 322 state banks and 81
private banks of Kansas. II shows
that the banks had on deposit S27, 2e9,-
STAT, an increase of 81, O76. 171.66 over
the call OF December 2. The loans
show a decrease of over $50, 0o0- The
deposits of the banks are larger now
than ever before in the history of the
state The highest point reached in
deposits previous to this was in April,
1893, when they were S22, 100000. The
loans that year aggregated So, 900. 900.
Now they aggregate S21, 579, 321.72.
This shows that Kansans have more
money to deposit and are borrowing
less to run their business.
