wireIass War Kites.

In the presence of the German kaiser
some interesting experiments took
place in the Baltic the other day with
Il newly discovered method OF wireless
telegraphy by means of kites, writes
Hamburg correspondent. The inven~
tor is a German American professor, at
present residing at Havre, who has for
a long time past been in communica-
ton with the German naval authorities.
and has now displayed the new inven-
ton to the emperor personally Nat
urally the strictest secrecy is observe
ed regarding the whole matter ana
every sailor to whom the new appara,-
us was shown was compelled to take
an oath not to speak of the device. Al
the operations, which were carried out
about mile from shore, seven kites
were flown on copper wires to height
of from 10000 to $1,000 feet The ex-
eriments were artly made from the
kaiser's dispatch boat Sleipner, trave,-
Ing at the rate of thirty sea miles an
hour, and several languages were em-
ployed 1t is possible to employ the
system over the greatest distances
affecting any other wireless
station. The form of the
kites used is that of two cubes side
by side. The patent will be acquired
by the German navy.

weighing over 100000 pounds each. The
total weight Of the twenty-nine LARGEST

Chicago was exceptional, weighing 20

1t would be fairer to omit the heaviest

have the average weight at ST Louis of

The Two. Sided Speaker.

Speaker Cannon Is one of those gift
ed individuals who can seem to storm
thru his life roughshod and never break
an eggshell. He talks uncouth, agri-
cultural English. punctuated with to-
bacco juice and explosive profanity
The great American people tramples
on itself with the desire to grasp him
by the buttonhole as soon as his speech
is over. His campaign clothes never
fit him, and one leg of his trousers is
always pulled up enough to show that
he wears white yarn socks. Yet scan
dalous things are told of Uncle Joe;
they say in Washington, for instance,
that no mans dress coat hangs more
smoothly over the shoulders; that no
mans patent leather shoes glistel1
more splendidly or are tied with
more graceful silken bow. Go tell one
of the speakers constituents that; the
constituent will laugh. He will say:
Nov. don't you go worryin' yourself
about Joe. He don't wear them fine
things because he like to. It's just to
get somethin' or other outer the people
hes mixin' with. Joeos just as plain
and straight as you an be. feel this
way about Joe: He amt got much of a
way Of sayin' things, an he don't put
thrills up and down your back. But
he's got sense. An If the republican
party's good enough for him, it's good

SOME GOOD FROM AN ILL WIND.

It is an i'll wind that blows no good.
Despite the less to men in wages, to
packers in profit and to consumers and
producers in various ways, there are
some redeeming features to offset the
lamentable stock yards strike Of July
-. First and foremost is that the
packers have found out that they do
not Gown the world" The Independent
packers have reaped a harvest OF dol
lars and new customers 1t will be
years before, if ever, the combine re-
gains it's former control of the fresh
meat business in our larger cities.
Marketmen unable to buy supplies have
reopened their own slaughter-houses
and only extra inducements in the way
Of cut prices will cause them to return
to former practice of buying packing
house fresh meat products.
If the laboring men have felt the loss
of wages, the packers also can bewail
the loss of customers and possible pro-.
fits, And the lesson that the laboring

feature of the American business
world. While the general public feels
a natural sympathy with union labor
and recognizes the need of unionism
as a check upon capital, it is entirely
out of sympathy with any effort to
create monopoly of labor or an au-
tocracy of unionism. The strike has
taught the lesson over again that
neither men, employers or the public
can afford this brutal method of set
Ting disputes. and the proposition now
virtually agreed upon, to submit all flu
ture differences to committees. selected
from both the packers and the laboring
men, if continued in force, will do much
to lessen the number of future strikes.

ROOSEVELT DEFENDS HIS RECORD.

Unlike the democratic candidate for
the presidency, who prefers to pass
over the great issues" of the cam
paign, President Roosevelt devotes the
pages of a $4,000 word letter of accept
ance to the great issues" and stands
anxious to meet all corners SINGLE
handed on the issues as set forth. His
letter is remarkable for state docu-
. ment in that it bristles with campaign
sarcasm and the argumentative form of
a political debate. President Roose-
welt has evidently read in some New
York paper that Roosevelt the man"
is the issue and he sets forth defense
Of his official record which rings with
righteous conviction.
He scores the democrats for their
"shiftiness" Of position.
He defends his course in recognizing
Panama as entirely within the limits
of conservative constitutional action
and one that was demanded by the
treaty obligations which this nation had
long ago assumed.
AS to "encroachments" by the exc
cutive on the authority of congress in
his recent pension ruling he shows that
he merely ruled that 81 years should be
the age at wSich disability should be
presumed, whereas President McKin-

so hopelessly divided within itself as
the democratic party now is on the
money question could hardly be trusted
in adversely, to defend the gold STAN
dard.
He pictures the success of protection
and declares for it's maintenance with
occasional changes and beneficial reci-
procal treaties, but insists that tinker
ing should be done by the friends of the
system or else ruin will follow.
He meets his opponents criticism of
extravaganza sauarely by enumerating
the various governmental expenditures
such as rural free delivery, pensions,
Increased navy, Panama canal and per-
manent census and asks the opposition
to publicly name in their campaign
which expenditure they would cut off
