machinists who have years of expert
ence along this particular line of work
Every piece of iron used in them is of the
very best material, being made of fine
quality Of steel and semirsteel. The manu-
featuring of the machines is quite an in
teresting study. In one place the various
parts of the machine are formed and got
ten ready. In another place they are put
together and in still another the machines
are painted packed and made ready for
shipment. The entire process is a simple
one for making of such a useful and
weighty machine
The company is now arranging for the
display of five of it's machines at the
Worlds Fair. These will be placed on
exhibition in the Transportation building
The work Of this machine is wonderful.
Some few years ago if anyone would have
said that cold iron could be forced to
gether and shrunk he would have been
taken as crazy ignoramus. Nothing is
too advanced for this age. The Brooks
machine is little mechanical arrange
ment that has startled the scientific
world. 1t forces the particles of cold iron
together and does not injue the solidity
of the material. 1t shrinks tire with
out having. to take it off of the rim. One
man can handle the machine and 90 it
easy. There are about a half dozen pieces
of the machine. comprising two levers. an
eccentric. a set screw and one or two
other parts The wheel is placed in the
machine upright and the clamps made
secure, the screw tightened and the levers
-
simplicity and the setting OF the tire is
done quick and in less time than it has
ever been done through any other method
And this machine is manufactured right
here in Wichita. The factory is. an in
dustry that has already won a wide
spread reputation and is still gaining a
larger trade. 1t is an honor to the manu-
featuring interests of Wichita and is de-
serving of especial support from the citj-

An establishment that does a world
wide business. is a factory known as the
Brooks Tire Machine Company, OF this
city.
The Brooks Tire Machine Company is
the only one of its kind in this part of tie
United States and has an establishment
that is rated at $4,000. It is located at
lis North Wichita street and covers con-
siderable space of ground. While the
present capacity is large. the managers
say that they will soon have TO enlarge
About ten years ago, L. N. Hackney,
who is now secretary and treasurer of
the company, conceived the idea of build
ing machine that would set tires with
out having to heat the iron. lie sue
ceeded in getting patent on the ma
chine, and up until three or four years
ago, had them manufactured in the east.
Three years ago the company had only
little frame shack and very few con-
veniences for manufacturing any kind of
machinery or doing any sort of repair
work.
Today they have tools and appliances
that are worth $4,000 T. A. Rebhan is
master machinist and is manager of the
ibahuidcturIls part ol the coihpdny- III
the factory there are four drill presses,
one planer. two emery wheels. fine set
of general machine tools, and two Pinch
lathes.
Twenty-six men are steadily employed
and in times of rush orders extra help is
employed. Besides the manufacturing of
the tire setting machines. the company
does all kinds of high-class repair work
The machine that the company makes
Is the only one of similar mechanism in
the. world. There are one or two other
makes. but none have equaled the Brooks

the statements of Japan at their face value. Like the trader in the bazaar. he believed that by asking for more than he would be glad to accept he would make a better bargain than by stating his price and standing by it. He was the Oriental in the transaction, and Japan was the western traveller. Meanwhile. Russian ships were coming in from the west and the troops in Si- beria were being mobilized. Then Ja- pan shut up her portfolio. just as the western traveller sometimes does his pocketbook, and the torpedoes began to whizz at Port Arthur. Then the naval bazar trader, half Armenian and half Sclav, and untrained in either pol itics or history, doubtless woke up. He had been Russia" for a day and a week. and he had bungled the game all through.

RADIO IN WATER.

The hot springs on the government the object of great interest at the inte- rior department. Radio-activity has supplanted the land frauds in the minds of the officials of that department, and an investigation has been ordered with a view to finding out whether there is any radium in the waters of these hot springs. and if so, how much.
 A report from pr. J. l.. Gilbert of the Army and Navy hospital says the ra- dio-activity is present in the Hot Springs water. His report was made to the war department, and the inte- rior department will look into the mat ter on its own account after its officers have had q chance to read the full re- port Of pr. Gilbert.
 If radium is found on government property all the costs of the land frauds will be made up and joy will prevail at the interior department.
 Investigations by eminent men have brought them to the conclusion that radio activity exists in the waters of Bath England, and Buxton Springs, Scotland, due to the passage ol the waters through strata permeated by ra- dium. A similar strata is supposed to exist on the Arkansas reservation.
 The same peculiar condition has been found to exist in the water of Glen wood Springs. Col, radial activity be- ing at the ratio of 25 to New York Times.

How the States Are aoing.

We observe that MT. Hearst's friends are still doing the claiming and MT. Parker is getting the delegates. In this connection we should condole with the territorial democracy if it had to rely upon democratic sources in Phoenix for information of the progress of Mir. Hearst's boom. Within week, for ex- ample, the news has been printed To- cally in horse type that "Massachu- setts Goes for Hearst" West Virginia Goes for Hearst" Pennsylvania Goes for Hearst. and oregon Goes for Hearst" And yet, each of these states has refused to instruct for MT. Hearst, and the delegations are for Parker, Olney or Gorman-with the possible ex- ception of Oregon. The complexion of the Oregon delegation has not been de- termined clearly beyond the fact that the convention refused to instruct for Hearst. Possibly, however, the shead- lines quoted are meant to read that these several states are going for'' young MT. Hearst with a meat-ax.
 It is still to be hoped that MT. Hearst will get the Arizona delegation and that he will be nominated for president by the democratic party, but a regard for the truth calls for the above correc-

The difficulties of the stranger within by an experience of Dr. Edward A. Steiner, the author of "Tolstoy the Man." In describing his last visit to Tolstoy he says: "I went into Russia at the extreme eastern border, and found myself suspiciously viewed by the gendarmerie. My passport was held back, and after being called to police headquarters I was questioned as to my purpose in coming into Russia anG as to my special business-inasmuch as the passport regulations deal with men according to the trade. business. or profession. l said I was professor, and then I heard one of the gendarmes ask the other, Does he look like a pro- fessor?' To this he received a negative reply. I was told that I could not en- ter the cZar's domain until I proved my title- Unfortunately, my visiting cards had neither handle nor tail-just plain MT.

Los AngeIes proyincIaIism.

The Los Angeles papers cling to cer- tain provincial features and customs with con1ical persistence. Just now the Times, the Express, the Herald and the Journal are in fierce. controversy over the city printing, and their able editor- iai columns teem with such choice cross roads expressions as lie" common. vulgar scold," 'unblushing effrontery," "shuffiing concern" ''blundering editor" fragments of a scattered mind" "jeop- ardy of public interests" ct cetera. If one did not know that Los Angeles is one of the great cities of the country and its business houses metropolitan n every sense. one might infer from the Los Angeles papers that their town Is still an overgrown village and that the entire population locks horns over the city printing. Phoenix can still show a specimen or two of the BillviIle BugIe type. but better things are expected of Los Angeles.

Mir. Bryan to Declare Himself To-
 night.

At the Princess rink, in Chicago to- night. Col. William J. Bryan is to de- liver a political address. He hires the hall himself. and after reserving cer- tain seats for the newspaper men he makes the admission free. He an- nounces that his subject will be the New York Platform," and it Is under stood that he will pay his respects to Judge Parker, and generally declare himself on the question of democratic candidates. People who have followed his expressions lately anticipate that he will condemn the New York plat form, will declare Judge Parker .un- suitable, will insist upon re-adoption of the platform of 1896 and 1900, and will name William Randolph Hearst as his candidate.
 Predictions are also made that Col Bryan will indicate his purpose to bolt if his wishes do not prevail at St. Louis. But all prophecies of this char acter are predicated upon insufficient Knowledge of the Nebraska statesman. He is too shrewd a politician to burn his bridge behind. him at this stage of the game, and even if altogether con vinced of his defeat at St. Louis he would prefer not to define his attitude at this time. To inform the country now of his intentions in the con- tingency of the nomination of Parker, Mcclellan, or anybody but Hearst, would be to rob himself of an immense amount of satisfaction at St. Louis. No doubt, Col. Bryan, with his eye to dra- matic effects, is already reviewing in his mind the sensation he will cause in the national convention when, arm in arm with MT. Hearst, and followed by the Nebraska, Arizona and New Mexico delegations and delegates from sundry other places, he marches indignantly out of the hall to hold another conven- ton and nominate another candidate.
 And the dramatic setting would be discounted too much were Col. Bryan to declare tonight, without any string to his remarks, just what he and his followers will do.

ant Of q man who wishes to do what he likes with his own than it has yet be- come in the United States. The exist ence of a leisure class able md willins. to enjoy their lives rationally and in telligently is a check on the wilder ex- hibitions of leisure on the part of sud- denly acquired wealth. It also holds out something beyond mere money-get- ting as the goal of a successful life. It encourages retirement after reasonable fortune has been gained, and discour- ages to some extent the piling up of exaggerated redundancy. The effect of q more philosophical view of life on the part of our business men will tend to more even distribution of wealth, and leveling of the inequalities now so frequently pointed out.-Bankers' Mag azino.
