Novel Life Saving Apparatus.

NOveI Life saving Apparatus.
 If all that is claimed for the new life saving apparatus constructed by a Ge- neva citizen be true. we may expect that in the near future no wrecks. however disastrous. will have a fatal issue. The novel apparatus is con structed after the manner of a diving suit, of which the legs are weighted. It is rendered so buoyant with air chambers that half the body remains above water. and outside pockets are provided to hold lamp. matches. food. a trumpet and a weapon to ward of the attacks of large fish.-Pall Mall Gazette.

will be in dens like the working girls and
juncted' from the face of the earth, and other
laboring peoples tents will be in tatters.
Competition destroys the foundation of civil
ization. The tigers jaw of greed rends and
gr;nds the classes that make civilization possi-
ble We have outlived the tail OF the ape, but
the forest, the big monkeys grab the 'lion's
share" and the little monkeys starve.
In the new structure there will be no 'lion's
SHARE because there will be no "lions." So
ciety will be just all apes, and the lion will be
the man who cares most for the mothers and
children, or who acquires the greatest wisdom.
The premium will be on the heart and head,
and not in purse wrested from weaker man.
We may keep the building standing while
by propping it, but it is found to tumble some
in the future, and when it does, the millionaire
will die with the pauper. Build new edihce,
and move up to highest destiny.
The new building includes all reforms.
Socialism begins at the beginning. 1t digs
deep for its foundation. All! its timbers will be
fitted to their places only after careful prepara-
ton. Socialism will work no children at five
or ten years of age, as is done in Southern
manufactures. 1t will starve no working girls
or drive them into lives of dishonor. 1t will
send no old people to poor-houses. Socialism
appeals to both head and heart Socialism is
essentially in line with the teachings OF Jesus.
Socialism should find no opponent in any
Christian church, and where church people op-
pose, it is either because of ignorance or be-
cause they have an AK to grind.
We expect little of men who live in a rogue's
atmosphere.
Too often, sentiment is dwarfed and faith in
human nature is destroyed. By vocation,
lawyer is not fitted to lead. A preacher is. His
mission is TO save. His work fits to the work
of Socialist. In the name of Jesus, the masses
have right to his influence. The preacher
should be in the van of the procession. He
should be the friend of the toier.

PASSING OF THE OLD SOLDIER.

Gen. Joe K. Hudson, himself an old soldier,
wrote the following for his paper, the Topeka
Herald. 1t will appeal to the heart of every
old soldier who reads it:
"Senator Burton's last appointment elimi-
mates the old soldier from all important federal
positions in Kansas Colonel Crum, late Unit
ed States marshal, is succeeded by Mr.. Mackey,
selected to patch up some Fifth congressional
district demands for patronage. Republican
conventions have been prolific in resolutions
declaring that men who served the country in
the tour of its peril should have preference in
appointments to office when backed by ability
and character for the positions. Republican
legislature passed law to this same effect, but
it has notoriously been dead letter. The old
soldier has grown tiresome to the ambitious
young statesmen. His vote is counted upon
for the Republican ticket, because it is reasoned
there is no place else for him to CO. If he
should remain at home in the coming election,
the Republican party in Kansas would be de-
feated by more than 10000 votes. 1t is not
unnatural that these old soldiers should grow
somewhat sensitive over the humbuggery CT
convention resolutions, or that they should be-
come weary over the Misrepresentation OF
politicians whose interest in them extends only
to their votes. The veterans OF the civil war
are growing old, 10 De sure. Mosl " 'nem
have passed the age of 60. Many are, however,
capable of ten years or more of good, active
work, possessing ripened judgment and valua-
BILE experience good for business and politics.
"There ought to be halt called on the fax
ing resolutions regarding special love for the
defenders of the republic. They don't mean
anything, and they don't fool the old soldier.
"The trouble about political patronage is
that it is used strictly to pay individual debts,
and the party and state and merits OF the ap-
plicants for position cannot be considered
because the places have to be promised away in
advance to enable the individual to secure the
office controlling the patronage"

Civilization has the alternative of moving or
dying-backward or for gard Inertia is i'm

In the past, governments made progression,
but not through the influential politician. The
church made progress, but not through the in

Obscure men and women paved the way for

Something will be done, but ultimately, the

Wherever there is progress, there is change.
This is just as true Of church and governments
as it is true of medical sclence and agriculture.
The old structure Of civilization is condemned
by advanced thinkers. The advanced thinkers
are not leaders in church or state. Lawyers
and theologians are more conservative than
other classes of people. Why? Lawyers and
preachers run governments and ecclesiastical
institutions. Many priests and lawyers are
both cunning and indolent.
Self-interest is at the bottom of lawyer and
priestly conservatism The lawyer politician
has fat berth and little exertion so long as
there is nj kicking. Likewise, the priest, in
influential churches. Both classes OF men

in devising new and better laws-were active
in teaching new and better things in their fields

changes would occur in church and state as in

GROWS POPULISTIC.

Every once in while, the editor of the
Lawrence World gives some evidence that he
i, not wholly lost to sense of decency and
honesty and reason Last weeks issue of The
World contained several items that tend to show
the editor thinks for himself occasionally.
Here are three of the items
"The trust idea has taken such a firm mold
that now, the operative schemes have formed
one. These combinations of capital mean that
the industries of the country are getting so
united that, by I'd by, there will be state con-
troll
s.If operators on the board of trade can 60
into court and get injunctions against other op-
orators who ale putting up the price, we don't
see why any citizen cannot go into court and
compel the butchers to lower the price OF meat
This Injunction business is the rottenrst thing
in American public affairs"
"Some of these days. the people are going
to return to the warfare on watered- stock cor
pora,ions. If these corporations paid taxes ON
the capital stock, it would be different but they
do not. They are rich in the listings of the
market, Int poor on the books of the assessor.
Equitable taxation is one Of the big questions,
and lust now, Kansas is wrestling with the
problem of taxing justly and successfully.
The corporations are tax dodgers"
W., would remark TO the editor of the World
that Mayor Craddock, of Kansas City, Kas.;
compelled the corporations of that city to pay
their lust proportion of the taxes, and, as gov
e,nor of the state of Kansas, he will make the
co1porA;iol,s doing business in the state come
IN w,,h ,heir share of the taxes.

San Francisco, July 21.-A brisk run
through Golden Gate Park to the ocean
beach and spirited plunge and rub
down at the training quarters filled
in a busy morning for Robert Fitz-
simmons to-day. The Cornishman ran
eleven miles with his trainers, firing
them all and showing himself to be
in splendid condition.
"The stories as to my leg muscles
being bound" said Fitzsimmons to-
day, "are absurd and false. 1 never
felt better and stronger than now, and
l shall win the fight"
Fitzsimmons retired early and will
confine himself tomorrow to ever
lighter exercise.
Jeffries spent a day practically in
idleness. exercising just enough to
hold his own.
II will win the fight before 1t has
run it's length" said he to press rep
resentatfves.
Since the arrival of Fitzsimmons
yesterday afternoon the betting has
been stimulated, but the champion re-
mains the favorite at 10 to Az, with
Fitzsimmons seemingly unable to cut
down the odds. Much money, how
ever, is being posted

Boston, July 21.-A number of the
anti-imperialists of this city, including
Charles Francis Adams, Moorfield Sto-

present situation.
Inasmuch as Andrew Carnegie, the
chairman of the committee, is now in
Europe, temporary chairman will be
chosen, but the entire proceedings will
be communicated to Mr.. Carnegie by

TO DECORATE AMERICANS.
ABOUT 300, Who Assisted in Making
Prince Henry's Visit Pleasant, to
BE C0mplimented by EmperOr.


Berlin, July 21.-Cabinet orders con-
ferring decorations on about 800 Amer
leans who had to do with the trip of
Prince Henry of Prussia to the United
States are in Emperor williams hands
for signature. The foreign Office sent
the papers to his majesty a fortnight
ago. and their return and the an
nouncement of the decorations are ex-
pected any day. The list was made
up largely by DR.. Won Holleben, the
German ambassador at Washington
though of course Prince Henry per-
sonally suggested a good many names.
The delay in fixing up the list seems
to have been due to the necessity for
ascertaining beforehand whether per-
sons in official positions would and
could accept. There has been much
correspondence between the foreign Of
fee and DIR. Won Holleben regarding
the attitude of the American officials,
whose individual preferences, as set
forth in the correspondence, are kept
inviolable here. However. after months
of exchange of views the list was
finally agreed upon and sent to the
United States embassy for revision.
The United States ambassador, An
drew d. White, following precedent in
such cases, politely declined TO make
any suggestions and returned the list
to the foreign office without any ex-
preston of opinion. 1t appears that a
standing instruction of the State De-
partment is that the bestowal of decor
atoms shall be discouraged as much as
possible, because decorations have nc
place in the American government sys-
tenn, cannot be returned in kind, and
nearly always lead to diplomatic an
noyances.
It is understood that the decorations
are chiefly various classes of the
Crown order. Each class of the sew
eral Prussian orders has number OF
shades. In the Red Eagle, for in
