this is the most perfect, simple. cheap

on what they saw ana found. These
engineers are John Ericsson. city en-

Cannot be stopped by sleet or
snow storms. rain. ice. grease, dirt
or any other similar distractions on
the track.
Ii cannot produce electrolysis on
water pipes or eonduits In the

electric wires. requires less current
than other systems, and develops
greater power.

The Business Will Be Immense

because before long we will be putting
my system on all the standard. street
and interurban railways. Just think
what an immense business that will be.
One company alone now employs H.
600 men to make the present electric
railway equipments and cars. Another
firm employs nearly as many more.
There are also thousands of men en-
ployed making standard locomotives
and equipments. All of these will be
back numbers and will have to go
out of business because the LETTER
electric system will take their place
and will employ thousands more.

Going to Sleep.

The senses do not 90 to sleep ST.
multaneously. Sight is the first,
being obscured by the eyelids, then
follows the sense of taste; smell

order. The sense of touch is the
lightest sleeper, and is the most

one of the first to fall asleep, is the
last to wake. After touch, hear :

body fall asleep at different time,

the feet, and goes gradually up

The Men Who Hate Roosevelt.

The legislator who supports
every proposition for strengthen

great reputation for understanding
trade. If be opposes them, on tho
contrary, and still more if he have
authority enough to thwart them,
neither the most conspicuous pro-
bity nor the highest rank, nor the
creates, public service, can pro-
tect him from the most infamous
abuse and detraction, from person
al insults, nor sometimes from
real danger, arising from furions
and disappointed monopoliste.
Human nature has not changed
very much since Adam Smith
wlotc these words in his "Wealth
of Nations" in 1916. The railroad,
oil, sugar, meat and paper monop-
olists are heaping abuse, if not
threatening personal danger, to
Theodore Roosevelt, who has
thwarted their plans to further ex
! plot the people. The dull and
brutal resistance of intrenched evil
will stop at nothing short of the
personal peri! of its promoters in
its hatred of the man who dares tt
expose and curb it. Listen to the

yAdvocated in America

There is a large class of women,
and smaller class of men, who
are eagerly devoting themselves to
the establishment in America of an
hereditary aristocracy based on
land and lineage. These people
find a frank exponent in a writer
in the North American Review for
May, who, under the head of
"Scions of Aristocracy in Ameri-
ca, "endeavors to make usaIl happy,
in the assurance that so many of
us actually have in our veins the
blood of English monarchs, dukes,
earls and other noblemen, that
there's a chance of a drop or two
redeeming ns from utter plebeian
ism. That is, unless, alas. it is al
ready indubitably known that our
grandsires were of the plain peo-
pie. The said writer evidently
yearns for the returns of the day
when class distinctions shall again
be recognized here, as they once
were in the colonies; when gentle,
men" shall again be recorded as
such and be addressed as Esquire"
when by the aid of Il coat-of arms
and other devices of heraldry. the
sheep of aristocracy may be readily
distinguished from tie goats of un-
titled descent; when American
descendants of noble British hous
es can prove their lineage" and by
lshowing ''the requisite number OF
Iquarterings," secure admiss ion ''tt
equal social rank with their titled
foreign husbands" and when some
Lord PaIatine, like Lord Baltimore
in each state, shall "bestow title
and parcel lands into manors after
the feudal custom"

sneers of corporation lawyers who
speak of the presidents messages
as "Jeremiads'' and of the present

of hysteria.
1t is perhaps Il difficult thing for
a food poisoner, or rate rebater,
or trust magnate who has lost
his moral bearings by reason of
his business, to understand the
wrath of a people as voiced by
their president. He judges people
by his criteria. Popular objection
to his methods of doing business
is, in his esteem, a sort of hysteria
fostered by demagogues. He fails
to understand the temper of the
times. A great change has come
over the spirit of the people. They
are shocked today by revelations
that ten years ago they would have
accepted as quite the regular
thing. Everybody knew abont
