be war. She said that the order of
things would be upset, and incidentally
that Belgium would play a curious part
In it. America, she prophesied, would
not escape the general misfortune, but
would suffer some great disaster, the
character of which she did not specify.
SO widespread and shocking would
be the calamities and suffering, she
said, that man would wonder If all
things were nearing an end Humanity
would turn its attention with unanim-
ity never before known to the teachings
of religion, and the most marked re-
suit of all the trouble of the year would
be a great moral wave sweeping around
the world. War would give way to
peace, and a brotherhood of mankind
without regard to race, color or sect
would follow.
The believers in the powers of the
seeress and the superstitious are now
saying that all her prophecies, except
war, came true in the first four months
Of the year. These include the famine
In Japan, 100000 suffering; mine ex-
plosion at Courrieres, France, 1900
killed. Two earthquakes in Formosa,
$500 killed. Eruption of Yesuvius, 1000
killed. Tahiti tidal wave. Thousands
dead or homeless. And the earthquake
at San Francisco.

Partisan Politics.

The partisan persistence Of the Re
publican managers in refusing to agree
on the bill to admit Oklahoma is en-
tirely opposed to public opinion on this
question. The senate, for once at
least, is actually in agreement with the
Democrats, that justice be done to
nearly one million citizens who have
made their homes in Oklahoma and
Indian Territory. The question of the
admission of Arizona and New Mexico
as one State has been very properly
left by the Senate amendment to
the vote of the people, but to this
the Republican majority of the House
refuse to agree. When these standpat
members are asking for endorsement
next fall the voters should give them a
dose of their own medicine and refuse
to re-elect those who would not trust
the people.

will be the masters of the Republican
party even after a new generation of
voters-the one that is now coming on
with its Imagination intiamed by the
glories of Roosevelt-has taken the
place of the present one. While in
absolute sympathy personally, they
represent Intellectual variants that
converge at a common point, and they
will do more than any other group OF
men alive to hold the fighting line of
their party intact"
In plain English, these three men
have conspired to hold the reins of gov
eminent for another generation, at
least In order to remain masters of
the Republican party" as they are at
present, and to perpetuate ''the glories
of Roosevelt" and the whole brood of
strenuosities and acrobats, political and
physical, Mr. Taft is to be the next
President, because he lis not in sym
pathy with many of the economic re-
forms that are being fought by his
chief, notably railroad rate legislation
and the inheritance tax" Mr.. Roose-
welt himself might encounter trouble
in raising money from the trusts and
in securing votes from the people on
account of these proposed reforms, If
he were the candidate; but Mr.. Taft
would satisfy all men and all trusts.
Taft is, therefore, to be the candidate
i'll 1908; and Roosevelt is to be Secre-
tary of State, and from that perch is
to see that his policies are carried out
by Taft and Root until 1916, when
he is again to re-enter the White House
for eight years more bic will then be
only sixty-six, and Taft, who will be
only sixty-eight, will succeed him, and
remain in office for eight years more.
BY that time the new generation lin
famed by the glorles of Roosevelt"
will have had fun enough for one gen
Grafton. Well get new deal then, and
wipe out Rooseveltisn, Dingleyism, and
triple-headed bossism forever.

roins AZ Issue in the Rate oontro-

Point ar Issue in the Rate ContrO-
yersy.
The controversy over rate legisla-
ton in the Senate hinges entirely on
the constitutional question whether
Congress has power to pass a law con-
ferring upon the Interstate Commerce
Commission the right to fix the rates
for interstate transportation, and at
the same time to deny TO the courts the
right of Issuing temporary inJunctions
against the enforcement of such rates
Senators Bailey, La Toilette, Carmaek
and Others. support the affirmative,
and Senators Foraker, Knox, Lodge,
Aldrich and others, the negative side
of this question. The Bailey amendment
to the Hepburn bill expresses the views
of the "limited revisionists, and the
Foraker bill those of the broad reyia-
ionists." The acceptance of the Bailey
amendment and the rejection OF the
ebroad court review have the same
basis: which is, that the Fifth Amend
ment of the Constitution fixes the lnat,
beyond which Congress cannot go IN
fixing rates, at the point where the
rates established by the Commission
would amount to taking private prop
erty for public use without just COM
pensation;" and that If inferior courts
had Jurisdiction to set aside such rates
temporarily by forbidding their en-
foreement prior to the final hearing
and determination of the case, by
means of preliminary injunctions, the
railroads would abuse the right OF
litigation, and the public would SUI
fer from their extortions; whereas, If
the inferior courts were denied the
right to issue such injunctions, the
people would be protected, and the rail
roads would still enjoy all the rights
to which they are entitled under the
Constitution. That they would then in
sist upon the speediest possible dispo-
sition of the case; whereas, If they
could sue out injunctions before In
ferior courts, they would place every
conceivable obstacle in the way of a
final decision, and DEFY the law under
the shelter of az injunction procured
from some judge who had been APP
pointed to Office through the influence
of railroad Senators"
The Bailey amendment is necessary
so far as it would tend to prevent
an abuse of judicial power by inferior
courts in the manner indicated; the
original Hepburn bill having failed
to incorporate such precautionary
measure Under the original bill, the
broad court review" would probably
prevail. and the railroads might use
the machinery of the courts to harass
the shippers and evade the law. The
Hepburn BILL with the Bailey amend
ment added, would be, in fact as well
as In name, a remedial law; but with
out such amendment, it would be al
most sure to prove abortive.

In Japan They Alone May Give It
Are Taught in Special Schools.
All visitors to Japan will recall the
sad, soft tones of the flutes at night,
on the stretes, in country lanes, in for
est gladeS and on the mountain paths.
1t is a melodious and plaintive tune,
always the same, and it is heard only
when night has enveloped these places
in her shadows.
1t is the flute of the blind ANNA
San, the massage man and woman.
From old men, hoary with age, to
young girls in their teens, there they
wander, the blind people of Japan. By
law, strictly enforced, they must be
blin3 either from birth or through
some disaster during their lives Thus
they gain an honorable living.
With perfect knowledge, gained by
years of study in schools specially pro-
vided for them, they knead, twist and
new string every nerve, sinew and ten

mind and body.
They will take charge of your body
from the head to the soles of your feet,
and when their task is completed, they
leave behind them lingering sense Of
entire comfort, of placid well feeling,
which makes you very soon call them
back again. Some of these girls are
pretty and attractive and their help

charm. Their usual charges are 40

OWN YOUR OWN WIRELESS.

Pocket Sender and Umbrella Requi-
sites-Not Yet, but Soon, Maybe.
Every man his own wireless station
with the aid of an umbrella is the
promise made by an officer Of the
American De Forest Wireless Tele-
graph Company. He made this an
nouncement while telling some details
concerning the efforts to reach Ireland
from America by wireless, says the
New York Times.
By the pocket wireless apparatus, 1t
is declared, any one can, with a knowl-
edge of the Morse alphabet, telegraph
from any point in New York City to
Coney Island and possibly to distances
farther away, even to ships at sea.
This apparatus might be ready in a
few weeks, it was asserted.
DR.. Lee De Forest, the inventor Of
the system that bears his name, is now
in Ireland, the guest of Lord Arm
strong president of the British branch
of the company, and already Dr. De
Forest, the officers of the company say,
has received 500 words sent from this
side to apparatus placed temporarily
on top of Lord Armstrong; castle in
South ireland. Messages, the De For
est people say, are going only one way
Just now, but before long, it is pre-
dicted, they will be going in both di-
rections.
Abraham White, the president of the
American De Forest Wireless Tele-
graph Company, gave out the state
ment about the pocket wireless ma
chimes and the possibility of utilizing
umbrellas as antenn@ in the sending
of messages from persons pocket to
stations and ships, miles away. In a
few weeks, he explained, there will be
an exhibition of the machines, so that
any one can see how easy it Is to tell
| your troubles to somebody twenty
miles or more away.
