sea bottom, with an average depth Of
seventy TO eighty fathoms and extends
down to from 100 to l4S fathoms. At

II we are to accept the view that
the victory OF Chicago in securing the
national convention OF the Republican
0arty was due to those opposing the
buhuence Of President Roosevelt, 1t is
clear that the party Is going to divide

has stood for active legislation

was elected on a stand pat" platform
but has won the admiration and con-
fidence of the country by the way he
has taken hold and done things. For
the conservative elements OF the
party to unite to defeat his influence
In the convention is a powerful en-.
dorsement Of his policies. Speaking
AZ a Republican paper, we hope never
to see the day when the party will

the theory that 1t ls best to let well

rashness that mars the otherwise
statesmanlike administration of the
President 1t may be that nothing but
an aggressive, pugnacious man could
have done what the President has,
but the time is here now when the
readjustment must be made to

sentiment. before further progress
can be made and no reactiOnist like
Canon will do. The Republican party
Is not ready to say that 1t has been
wrong in attempting to curb trusts,
in enacting new legislation. in dig
ging the canal, and that is what 1t
means to nominate any one OF the
anti-Roosevelt candidates. The whole
country would be justified In rebuking
such duplicity. For this reason we
do not favor any one OF the pro-
nounced adversaries OF President
Roosevelt.
| We are not so blind as to make all
issues secondary to Brownsville and
by 1t alone choose a At candidate for
the presidency. The race deserves
our fealty but our country still has
first claim upon us. Senator Foraker
may be an able statesman and is our
friend. but we need not expect the
American people to elect him to the
presidency because he was right on
Brownsville. 1t is even probable that
his avowed advocacy OF our cause
would lose rather than make votes for
him.
We do not favor Taft. He is the
Presidents shadow. Whatever OF
strength Roosevelt has cannot be
handed down, but on his head will
fall every criticism with double
force. His' boom seems already
spent.

SPEAKER STAID At HOME
DALZELL is THE PRO TEN
House Of Representatives Defeats the
Bill to Appropriate Money to Com
Matters Before the Body.

Washington, -. G.-Dalzell, of
Pennsylvania, called the house to
order the indisposition of Speaker
Cannon making it necessary to desig-
nate a speaker pro TEN. for the day.
The house at once went into commit
tee of the whole for further considera-
ton of the river and harbor appropria
ton bill.
BY vote of 90 to 30 the house re
fused to approve $294,000 for the
building of dam No. Z on the Ohio
river in Pennsylvania, an amendment
to that effect having been offered by
Mr.. Dalzell of Pennsylvania. Mr.. Bur
ton, of Ohio, chairman of the rivers
and harbors committee. contended
that other dams of far greater neces-
sity need appropriation.
Representative Gill of Maryland en-
deavored to secure an Appropriation OF
an additional 81 100000 to improve the
harbor at Cleveland, the home of
Chairman Burton, because of the I'M
selfishness of Mr.. Burton in failing to
ask for an amount sufficient to COM
plete the harbor at that place. The
amendment was defeated on the per-
sonal solicitation of Mr.. Burton, who
said that the amount appropriated is
sufficient.
Speaker Cannon is confined to his
home with a severe cold which has
been troubling him several days.
Consideration of the Indian appro-
priation bill was resumed by the SEN
ate.

He was leaning heavily against a

Main when little girl carrying a
white rat came along. Just as she
got opposite to him and his two COM
panions the rodent dropped from her
arms, and scurried along the side

1t may not be quite clear to you,
But science makes 1t plain
That very shortly most of us
Are billed to go insane,
For with the pressure raised SO high
We cannot stand the strain.
No doubt in an event like that
Well cease our frenZied chase
For dollars and such paltry things.
For office. power and place,
And start in to Joy ourselves.
Though at mIider pace.
The few who have not gone insane
pity we will view
As arise at early morn
Ana work the whole day through
And only have to show for it
At night PUNK or two.
OF course we will serenely smile
And think they are not bright
And that we ought to lock them up
Lest some one they might bite,
But no. Wen shake our heads and say
That they are harmless quite.
Wen see the man who rocks the boat.
Wen see the baseball fan,
Well see the wild election crank.
Who hoilers for his man.
And thank our lucky stars we're not
Constructed on that plan.
We will not kick about the drought
Nor fret about the rain.
We will not worry and grow thin
Lest we should miss a train.
We ought to lead happy life
When we are all insane.

An Overworked Bomb.

In sober retrospect of the trial of Haymarket anarchistg in Chicago, Charles E. Russell, who was star re- porter assigned to the case, tells in Ap- pleton's Magazine some inside facts of the methods by which the police overdid their duty.
 Never, l suppose" says MT. Russell. ''in any city was what Is called the drag net worked so extensively and incessant- ly. For days the police stations were filled with suspected persons. vigorously examined in the method of what Is termed the third degree; persons, for the most part. that never heard of the bomb nor of the meeting nor of anything con nected with either. In the midst of which turmoil. Rudolph Schnaubelt. the man that threw the bomb. passed quietly out of Chicago and made his way un- marked to Germany to live and die in peace.
 Swiftly the police unearthed what seemed to be desperate and dreadful conspiracy. The bomb was the work of a great anarchistic organization that had planned the destruction of the city, that had made and secreted thousands of sim liar bombs, that had drilled and armed men for the uprising. Vast quantities of bombs, dynamite and weapons were gath cred from cellars and backyard caches all about the northwest side. Truth com

To Cross the Atlantic In Ono Day.

Within a few years" says William G. Fitzgerald In Technical World Nigga zine for October. ''the crossing of the Atlantic, with it's 5000 miles of stormy sea, will be mere pleasure excursion of thirty hours in length. The marvellous boat invented by Peter Cooper Hewitt, which is supported by planes which glide or skim through the water, is expected to cut down the length of the trip to Europe to a day and a quarter. at the same time doing away with most of the danger of an ocean voyage.
 My first model.'' MT. Hewitt told the Technical World Magazine, was entirely supported by the planes at sixteen miles an hour; the Notation hull being entirely out of water at that speed. found, too, that the area of the planes should de- crease with the speed for economy and safety, So far speed has only been lim- ited By the propeller. but the craft will gradually improve with increased size, and the liner of the future will be prac- tically independent of weather, and have no motion from the waves.'
 MT. Cooper is known for the invention of the famous light whih bears his name and of many devices used on automobiles. His reputation is that of conservative and careful, as well as brilliant observer. His new gliding boat has been seen and approved by many leading scientists. A larger model for which a speed of sev- enty miles an hour is confidently predict ed, is now in process of construction.

Hazina in Wall Street.

w. G. Nicholas in Appletons.
 One of the methods employed to get rid of objectionable persons in Wall street who persist in conducting their opera tions without regard to the plans or wishes of the powers Is to load them with money and then call for it's repayment at inconvenent periods. This is usually accomplished by suhtly playing upon the vanity of the intended victim. He is made an object of flattering attention by im- portant bankers and other people of con- sequence of the street. 1t Is conveyed to him that his genius Is becoming recog- nized, and that the really big fellows of the street see in him truly Napoleonic qualities. He is informed that this bank and that bank and the other bank will be only too glad to extend him credit. The borrowing of money is made very easy for him. and little by little he eN- tends himself. He is consulted by rep resentatives of the great combinations, and his judgment is asked on the market. Pleased beyond measure that he should have found recognition in this manner, he generally feels 1t incumbent upon him to make good" and further strengthen his position by busying huge blocks of some stock for which he may have eX- pressed a preference or into which he has been slSillfully steered. He still finds il easy to borrow money from favored banlxs--until his collaterals are all In.
 Suddenly a change in conditions takes place. The temperature falls. Genial warmth and cordiality make room for coolness and indifference. The market be- gins to react Cavalry charges against the favorites are made by conspicuous market generals. The banks wherein the momentarly distinguished victim has Dor rowed most of his money call upon nm for more margins. He struggles to pro duce collateral. and when he can go nc further he is obliged to reduce his hold
