WIRELESS PROGRESS.

The picking up of the solace oy 'he

rial interest to experiments on the Al

apparatus, about keeping in touch win
veseAls from 1000 to 2oOo miles distant
from, this port. The following is taken
From, recent account of the crossing
of the Cunarder Etruria, vessel "hieh
did not miss wireless connections for d

"on wednesday at midnight the WIRE
Ices receiver gathered in message
from Cape Cod, 1000 miles away A Few
hours before there came aboard Wheh
the ship was 1850 miles from Liverpool
a message from the Poldhu station on
the English coast, telling that an Amer

aboard. There was no time that Tue
liner was not in touch with either
America. or England, and most OF the

any difficulty translating the messages.
Mr.. Marconi said he was entirely satls-

This was not an experiment, he
said. but a demonstration. l selected

There was no effort made to do any
long distance sending. To install long

the next Cunard boat to be equipped
with long distance receiving apparatus
Later the line will have also the long

UNEQUAL TAXATION.

It is reported that the tax.assess-
ment. in Devils Lake will be Increased
about one-third over the figures of
last year. The question of equal
taxation is growing to be serious
one. The condition of affairs is
much the same all over the state.
The Bismarck Tribune says : The
personal property assessment in this
city as shown in the detailed list
elsewhere in this issue will furnish
'sfood for thought for Tribune
readers. This is but a fair sample
of unequal and deficient taxation
values everywhere and yet some people
wonder that the question of taxation
is the subject of so mncn discussion
and our system exposed to so much
criticism. Two things threaten the
very life and existence Of this nation
Unequal and consequently unjust
taxation and Inflated value and land
monopolies. The danger is not i'm.
mediate, but is far from being as re-
mote as in the days of the last genera
tion. Will we have the sagacity
and the nerve to right the wrongs
when the injustice of the present
system and the present practices be-,
come little more acuteS The people
themselves are responsible for the
lpresent conditions, and the people
only can change them. Ahigher
degree Of craftsmanship in public
Office and a less degree Of partizan-
ship would help some but more in.
dividual honesty and less seltishness
would help more. Public officials as
a rule, are as good. as honest and as
wise as the people who select them.
The people are ignorant. They do
not know what is best for their own
collective interests; they do not study
our fiscal system as thoroughly as
they should. They are too apt to
proceed on the theory that the troubles
of the future are not ours. We are
drifting toward an abyss tt at careful
study greater caution, a higher de-
, gree Of honesty and more searching
investigation may avoid and the evil
day indefinitely POSTPONED

The strongest point in favor Of
Judge Parker as a democratic presi.
dential candidate is the fact that
Wall street is very friendly to- him
and be would be favored with more
substantial financial support than
any other man, except & leveland.
With Paraer as candidate it is
expected that the wealthy Wall
street men would pour such stream
Of gold into the slums Of New York
that the city e vote would carry the
state for the democratic presidential
candidate. Il may be. however
that the Intelligent voters af upper
New York will be able to offset the
gold Of Wall street and thus enable
the great majority Of the voters Of the
country to elect President Roosevelt.

former years a rigid rule was enforced
compelling engineers. conductors, and

SAYS DANIEL PREDICTED
DOWNFALL OF TURKEY
Sultan Destined TO Remove Capital
and Meet Disaster"

The Eastern question from the stand
point Of prophecy was the subject of
a discourse delivered last night ar the
Masonic Temple by A G. Daniels.
The Eastern question briefly stated.
said Mr.. Daniels, IS the driving OF the
Turks from Europe, the division of their
territory. and securing possession of
Constantinople. This is the Oldest and
most serious living political or national
issue in the world. While il may be
traced back to the time of Peter the
Great Of Russia, who reigned from 1858
to 1725, it may be said to have been
fully sprung by Napoleon in 1873. Since
that time it has been a living. distract
ing. and exasperating problem to all
Europe"
Mr.. Daniels then gave verses from
Daniel, chapter XII, which he said pre-
dicted all phases of the Eastern ques-
ton Continuing, he said:
There remains but one more verse in
the chapter unfulfilled. Ii is this: And
he shall plant the tabernacles OF his
palace between the seas in the glorious
holy mountain; yet he shall come to his
end. and none shall help him
THE meaning of this verse. as / shall
venture to state II, is this: Turkey
will transfer it's capital from Constan-
tinople to Jerusalem. and then soon
prophecy, He the power under consid-
GRAFTON I'm the preceding verses, which
