The first actual application Of wireless
telephony to practical work anywhere
in the world, says the American Telephone
Journal, was made in Put in Bay, on Lake
Erie, during the week July Is to 20. In re-
porting the regatta OF tho Interlake Asso-
citation.
A wireless telephone outfit was installed
on board the yacht Thelma while shore
station was equipped at the Fox dock
in Put In Bay. Although not perfectly
suited to the task on account OF her short
spars and wooden hull the Thelma enabled
excellent results to be obtained with the
wireless apparatus throughout the entire
regatta.
The distances which were attained even
exceeded the hopes of those In charge Of
the apparatus. The Thelma followed the
competing yachts or motor boats around
the course through most Of the races and
accounts OF occurrences during the races
were telephoned to the shore station exactly
as the events occurred.
Not only was speech transmitted but
singing, whistling and gramophone music
or dialogues were interpolated with Ihe
news rc?nrts People on the yacht and
ashore were surprised at the cloarness
and fidelity Of the reproductions. Friends

greatest distance at which the reports
from the yachts were heard and recorded
was four miles.

The events Of the next eight months
are relatively familisr and need not be re-
counted In detail. IL IL we'll known that
the eventual outcome Of the campaign OF

invaders from Canada. We turn to that

What were the auses Of the miscarriage
Of the American expedition Prof Smith
points out that the endeavor to win the
Fourteenth Colony bad run through several
distinct phases. each Of which had it's own
chance Of success. What Samuel Adams
had contemplated was q campaign con-
fined exclusively to political agitation and
enlightenment. In our authors judg-
ment such tactics could not possibly have
brought Canada into the Union. The
British element there was too small numeIi-
calIy. too divided in sentiment, and had
interests too much threatened by the COM
mercial policy Of the Thirteen American
Colonies. while the French Canadians.
besides lacking political tastes. experience
and knowledge, had too little education

TO fnd them. A committee Of Congress ap-
pointed for the purpose named short en-

smallpox. Samuel Adams. though he dared
not state what he took to be the real difficul-
ty, suggested that 'our secret enemies had

another time he traced the misfortune

DOLLIVER'S CLUMSY FLOP.

The seating of Reed Smoot by the
senate evoked some surprises, says
! Goodwin's Weekly. President Roose-
velt's attitude, which became open and
undisguised before the conflict was over,
was not one of these surprises, however,
because all intelligent men in Utah and
Washington have known for over year
that he was in political league with
the leaders of the Mormon church, and
that he had bartered his influence for
Smoot in return for a promise of politi-
cal support from Utah, Idaho and Wyo-
ming. President Roosevelt has made
his bed with polygamy and polygamists ;
and if he could but hear the comments
of Gentle Republicans in Utah on his
course, his ears would tingle. 1t is safe
to assert that were Roosevelt to run
for reelection in 1908, he would not re-
ceive ten per cent of the votes of the
Gentiles in Utah.
One surprise of the Smoot result,
however, was the clumsy flop of Dolliver
of Iowa Last year, when Deliver was
a candidate for reelection in Iowa, he
signed the committee report against
Smoot, fearful that to do otherwise
would endanger his already wobbly seat
in the senate The fact that the Reor-
ganized or anti-polyganiy Mormons are
strong in Iowa was "a deciding factor
in his attitude at that time.
In January, however, Dolliver was re-
elected, and at once returned to his wal
low. Secure in another term, he at
once proceeded to stultify himself and
get in line with powerful influences
political and corporate-which were be-
hind the apostle-senator. He explained
his change of base by saying that he had
been converted by Smoot's own speech.
The idea of a Smoot speech converting
to anything expect profound
knowledge that Smoot himself is a
chump, is enough to make the gods
laughl

THE SAME OLD SYSTEM.

The legislature is still dragging its
weary length along and accomplishing
little or nothing, says the Paris Post.
The members seem to be having good
time, some of them have been junket-
ing to Moscow and Lewiston by way Of
Butte while others have been to Black
foot The members of the families of
the senator's and representatives and
all their friends are riding on free
passes and visiting the capitol, and any
other place of interest to which their
fancy may lead them inside the state,
just the same as in days of yore, not
withstanding all that has been said about
railroad reform, and the anti-pass bill;
the railroad commission bill; the local
option bill and every other measure that
the people want are carefully laid away
in the pigeonholes, while the members
scrap among themselves to break the
monotony.
