by the tariff since the tariff began to rob
the American people. The trusts and tar
if live because Of the Republican party
-Taft's party-his masters party.
Standard Oil and the trusts and the
tariff will fatten and flourish if Taft is
elected just as they fattened and -four
ished as they never did before in their
history during the administration of Theo-
dore Roosevelt, in spite of the fact that
he ran up and down the country believing
against them like a roaring lion. He bel
lowed but he never bit.
If W. j. Bryan is elected, the trusts
and tariff will not have as easy sailing as
they have had under Roosevelt.
You want the proof Of this assertion.
Carnegie is for Taft. Carnegie has
been made half-billionaire through and
by the tariff and his future millions de-
pend greatly upon the tariff standing as
It is. And Rockefeller, and Archbold, and
Morgan, and Ryan, and Gary of the steel
trust, and Schwab of the protected iron
industry, and Hartman, and all the other
men who take toll from both the producer
and the consumer are for Taft.
And in this you win find the issue OF
this campaign 1t is: Shall the people
rule through Bryan and Democracy, or
shall the Standard Oil and other trusts
continue to rule through the Republican
party and Taft?-Memphis Commercial
Appeal.

tributions; they are greatly interested in
the bank deposits guaranty issue and
want to hear Mr.. Taft on the subject;
they want some assurance that the trusts
are not backing the Republican campaign,
etc. 1t would be foolish to deceive our
selves into believing that Bryan's speeches
have not made deep impression. Mr..
Taft must answer them, not content him
self by declaring that Bryan is a menace
to prosperity-that will not go at ALL.
Bryan has revealed the kernel to that
sort of campaign by saying: You cannot
scare man who is sleeping on the floor
by telling him he is about to lose his
bed"

contenting himself with the assertion at
some system of bank insurance was d.
ed 1t seems that the bankers opposed
guarantee because they did not want it,
and those who were not bankers, prefer
red to let the bankers have their way
rather than take stand in opposition to
the action of the, national convention. al
though they realize that a vast majority
of the people who are bank patrons in
stead of bank managers demand guaran-
tee that their deposits shall be safe.

FLOATING IN THE AIR.
The Impression on Ascending in a
Free Balloon.

The Impression on Ascending in
Free Balloon.
One of the first questions which l am
usually asked by persons seeking in
formation about balloons is, what is
the sensation of going up in balloon|
writes Captain G. Def. Chandler, U. 5.
A. I will anticipate this same inquiry
of the readers of this article and state
for their information that in a free
balloon L have not noticed any peculiar
physical sensation which can be de-
scribed. 1t would be like trying to
describe standing still as a sensation.
The impression on ascending in a free
balloon is more an optical illusion. The
ascent is so slow and gentle that it
cannot be felt, and one has the impress
sion that the balloon is motionless and
the earth gradually dropping away. All
the noises and shouts of the people be-
come fainter and die out. AS the altl-
tude increases hills and valleys are not
apparent and the earth seems fiat, like
a beautiful colored map, showing cul-
tivated fields, forests, etc.
The greater part of the time bal
loon is moving either up or down, but
the motion is not apparent, and it re-
uuires a statoscope to indicate whether
the balloon is ascending or descending.
If a considerable change of altitude IS
made in short time, the difference in
air pressure may be felt on the ear
drums. In descending even quite rap
idly have never had any sensation OF
falling.-Journal Of Military Service.

letter Mr.. Olney says
Finally, every intelligent voter must
recognize the great evils resulting from
the inordinately long continuance in pow
err of one political party. Compared with
them, any possibly injurious consequences
of change of administration are insig
nifcant. The Republican party has now
been in power almost uninterruptedly for
nearly fifty years-during that whole pc
riod tho Democratic party has been In
complet control of the government for
but two years. The inevitable has of
course happened-much misgovernment
and maladministration have from time to
time come to light, much is in plain sight
and much more unquestionably under
cover-whiIe its leaders, intoxicated with
the phenomenal record Of past successes,
are disposed to believe and to act as II
any uprising against the party by the peo-
pie were unrhinkable."

Perhaps the only horse in the world
provided with a speaking tube di-
rect from it's stall to it's owners tiv-

owned by Mrs. Walter Wadham-Petre,
of London. Hearing it neigh at night,
she concluded to have an arrangement
constructed so that she could speak TO

a visitor recently, lifting up a trapdoor
six inches square, which was hidden be
meath a Turkish rug, when | say,

cording to writer in London paper,
no sooner had Mrs. Wadham-Petre
spoken than the horse set up series

Turret Plate Stands the Test.

The biggest naval gun, the heaviest
projectile and the highest explosive
known, combined with close range
and deadly aim, were allowed to work
their full havoc on the turret plate OF
the monitor Florida. The result is
declared to be victory for the turret
construction and this notwithstanding
the 11-inch hardened ,steel plate was
blackened, broken, the seams of the
turret sprung and the rivets and
screws loosened and twisted.
1t was not five minutes after the ter
rible impact that the finely balanced
mechanism of the turret was being
worked with perfect ease and the II
inch gun on the left side was trained
at will. Inside the turret where stand
the gunners and gun crew, the havoc
was much less apparent than from the
outside. Examination showed that Of
the many delicately adjusted instru'
ments for fire control, sighting and
operating the turret few, if any, were
out of working order.

Florida would be fighting yet" said
one of the rear edmirals with enthus-
iasm.

Forty shots would not bring 1t

would be equipped with battle masts

Noted Auto Driver Killed.

Emanuel Cedrino, the noted ltal-
ian automobile driver was instantly
killed on Pimlico racetrack at Balti-
more Friday evening. He had been
preparing for races in which he was
to have taken part and was max
ing some very fast miles. One had
just been finished in 81 seconds and
he had passed the grand stand and
rounded the first corner Of the track
when spectators saw his car shoot into
the air and turn an irregular somer-
sault, landing on the track upside
down.
Those who rushed to the spot found
Cedrino stretched on his back dead,
with big cash in the back of his head
and portions of his brains scattered
about He was some distance from
the car, from which he had appar-
emily been thrown as it went over and
it is supposed that his head struck
the fence.
The accident appears to have been
caused by the collapse of the front
wheel on the right hand side of the
car. 1t was a wooden wheel and small
fragments were all that could be found
after the accident. The tire was
found partially intact. The machine
was totally wrecked.

COPYRIGHTED BOOKS
May Be Sold by Retailers Below the
Price Fixed by the Publisher.

Washington, June 2.-The supreme
court of the United States decided
three important copyright cases, the
opinions being handed down by JUS
tice Day. The first decision was in
the case of the Bobbs-Merrill compa-
ny VS.. R. H. Macy & Company and
Isidor & n. Straus, the decision being
In faver of Macy & Company.
In this case the court dealt with the
question whether the sale by retail
dealer of copyrighted book below
the price fixed by the publishers Is
IAN infringement Of copyright. The
Bobbs-Merrill company published
novel and stipulated in a printed no
tice that it should not be sold for less
than 81 per copy The house of Macy
& Company sold the work for 89 cents,
and suit was brought accordingly in
the circuit court of the United States
for the Southern district of New York,
but the bill was dismissed.
A like result followed when the case
was appealed to the circuit court of
appeals and the decision was in the
same line. The suit was based on the
theory that the right to dispose Of a
copyrighted work gives the owner the
right to place restrictions on its sale.
The right of publishers to regulate
the prices at which their books may
be sold by booksellers and jobbers al
so was involved in the two cases Of
Charles Scribner's Sons VS.. Isidor &
N. Straus, doing business as Macy &
Company, all of New York, which was
against the former concern.
The suits were brought by the
Scribners as representatives of the
American Publishers association, and
they sought in the first of them to en-
join the defendants from selling their
copyrighted books at prices below
those fixed by the association and
from buying any such publications
from any one who is not member Of
the association, on the ground that
such a course is on infringement Of
copyright. In the second case the al
legation was that Macy G. Co. had
sought to induce other dealers to vio-
late their contracts with the publish
ers.
The fact was brought out that the
Publishers association requires firms
dealing in their copyrighted books to
enter into a contract to maintain fixed
prices for a year and not to sell to
any one who would cut prices. The
circuit court of appeals decided against
the publishers in both instances, hold
ing that the sellers had not agreed not
to cut prices and there was no evil
dence of an effort to influence others.
