matters were passed by the body.
The Sultan's Submission.
The "Sck man of the East" has at last
had to take pill in the shape Of granting
Constitution to his long-suffering subjects.
Like most liberties, the people obtained it
when they went after it behind the gun. All
political prisoners were released and new
era is dawning in Turkey.
The rebels in Persia have not, up to date,
Jared so VIGOROUSLY. Bomb-throwing, violence
and murder have been practiced In Teheran
and Tabriz by the revolutionists and the gov
eminent troops. The latter, mostly Cossacks,
are learning to use machine guns under the
tutelage Of Russian officers. The situation
is very muddled, as are all situations wherein
the craft and brutality Of the Orient are con-
cerned
Henri Farman's Airship.
Six hundred feet is the record of flight made
by Henri Farman aeroplane at Brighton Beach,
at an elevation Of about 20 feet. If they can't
get any higher in the air than this, the in
terests of economy would suggest that
prairie schooner on stills would be as graceful
and effective, besides offering convenient poles
down which to slide in case Of collision with
an unwary lamp post. That Florida village
which passed ordinances regulating the speed
of airships in crossing over their town was
wise-as it probably provided they must go
at least one mile per hour in order not to
blockade indefinitely the mule carts and pro-
duce wagons.
However, that's only good natured chaff
When one thinks how splendidly science and
invention have wrought toward the better
ment of humanity, while theology and law and
political economy have Jagged far, far be-
hind, it is with profound respect that each
new project is hailed We are no longer
astonished at anything scientists tell us can
be done, whichsis the highest tribute our con-
fdence could pay them. And queerly d.
vided lot they are: While one is engaged in
extracting from the air about us the nitro
gen which is the basis of all life, and which
was growing so scarce in the world as to
threaten the food supply at no very distant

product of the same age as the hideous Mauser

way, has progressed a step further in the
making of death silent and sudden, in the
perfection Of a noiseless gun that it gives
one the shivers to think about Hereafter
only slight click will announce the end Of
the "innocent bystander.' The reverberant
military salute will be relegated to the past.
Visiting About.
President Fallieres, Of France, has been to
see Car Nicholas; the Prince Of Wales came
over to Canada, where he was shown warm
welcome by "Our Lady Of the Shows" the
King and Queen of England pleasantly re-
ceived the Peace Conference.-The their Ad-
miral Beresford was quite innocently engaged
in showing Kaiser Wilhelm that the British
navy wouldn't do thing to Germany if it
didn It behave; our own fleet has been having
a gaudy sail over Southern seas, and, it is
said that King Alfonso had his mother-in-law
walk in on him "and-walk-ngh t-out-again,"
breathing step-maternal wrath just like real
folks. Meantime, China is making last, de-
spiaring effort to get rid of the Dalai Lama,
or Pope Of Thibet, who, with his train, has
been quartered upon her hospitality for the
past two years, and who is serenely indiffer-
ent to an overstayed welcome. How the lin
gering guest may be reverently, yet firmly,
sped is question corrugating Oriental brows;
the cheerful Occidental: "Here's your hat,
must you go?" would not work at all where
the kow-tow is incumbent
Must Have Been the Real Thing.
The lady who was dragged by the hair for
a whole block in the wake of an automobile,

bought goods on her head-no rats rufus, puffs,
nor other towering, but unsubstantial, struc-
lures with which the ladies embellish them
selves these days, and against which Repre-
sentative Glenn has been laundering in the
Legislature We learn that this gentleman
now seriously considers going upon the lecture
platform, no doubt to further his crusade
against the deceivers who "entrap man into
matrimony" by the use Of rats, ruffles,
rouge, and like iniquities. Take care, Mr.
Glenn The platform is closely akin to the
stage, whereon pirouettes animated paint,
powder and pads, which, like other evils seen
too oft, you'd ''frst endure, then pity, then
embrace"

AS to Near beer.

Mr.. WISE, OF FayeCLe mas OIOuSuI uP Cno
Prohibition question in the House again, IN
an effort to reduce the permissible percentage
of alcohol in near-beers and similar beverages
to one and half and also to increase the tax
to 5000 per annum on all places selling the
stuff. Mr.. Wise would be as saplent as his
name indicates if he would also bring prom1-
nently forward the fact that it's not 80 much
the percentage allowed in near-beer that IS I'M
portant as the kind of alcohol used. There Is
no minimum which would make wood-spirlt
safe: and methyl alcohol, or wood-spirit, and
the fusel oil group contain as deadly poison
to the human system as can be found In the
range of toxicology. One of the unexplained
and most appalling effects of methyl alcohol,
is that it may cause total and hopeless bind
ness. Since there seems to be great deal
more "loco" associated with the drinking OF
these near-beers than is proportionate to the
percentage of intoxicant contained, what sort
of alcohol is used to tincture these so-called
brews should be ascertained as well as how

The Great Mass Meetings.
The cities of Georgia responded to the call
for general mass meetings to condemn the
Convict Lease system and draft resolutions
demanding it's adjustment forthwith. One of
the largest of these was held in Atlanta Sun
day afternoon, at which Judge Covington, OF
Coluuitt E. " Garter, of Atlanta, and Sea-
born Wright, of Rome were the speakers.
After the System, the Prison Commission and
the Lessees had all had theirs, Seab. observed
the blur of grey heads before him and sailed
into the audience awhile like the proverbial
"Dutch Uncle Told em they were as much
responsible for the System as anybody else,
and asked them why they had not backed up
with their ballots, long ago, the men who had
been fighting the wrong for years, instead OF
scrambling for dollars. He deplored the ''self-
ish, brutal indifference" of the age to it's civic
responsibility and pleaded nobly for love OF
State as we'll as home. The crowd was hard
ly expecting the investigating probe to search
out its own shortcomings, but received the re-
buke in the proper spirit. If only-~only-
pride in the purity Of the State in peace,
which they feel for its valor in war, how soon
would all injustice and corruption be impossl-
bleI Such mass meetings do much to bring
men close together, and arouse the right pub
lie sentiment.

of the evening. He has a voice of

at the same time powerful. A very

WILBUR WRIGHT . MAKES NEW RECORD Two Passengers Are Carried
 For Nearly An Hour CON TRACT ALMOST SECURE Wright Receives Congratulations From a Great Number of Frenchmen
 and Americans Who Witness
 the Successful Flight. 

Lemans. October S.-Wilbur Wright, the American aeroplanist, who holds the worlds record for an aeroplane flight. established another worlds record this afternoon for time and distance with passenger With a French journalist by his side, Wright remained in the air for 55 minutes and S7 seconds, circling the field 24 times and covering distance es- timated at 5S kilometres, or about 36 miles. His best previous flight with passenger was Il minutes, 30 2-5 seconds.
 By his feat today MT. Wright partially fulfills the conditions of a contract sign ed by him and Lazare Weller, who rep resents a syndicate. whereby MT. Wright receives S1O000O and the syndicate takes in return the patent rights of the Wright machine for France and the colonies, with the privilege of manufacturing aero planes on this model.
 The sun was setting when Wright and his passenger started and the flight was completed in the moonlight. When they alighted, the French journalist Tn his enthusiasm threw his arms around Wright'sS neck and the great crowd of spectators was hardly less demonstrative in their manifestations of delight.
 MT. Wright earlier in the day made half a dozen shorter flights, carrying an American journalist on one trip.
 Both of the newspaper men, after the flight. said that the dominant sensation was one of security and stability. In his flights today Mir Wright used a new pro peller, with slightly broader blades, and set at a greater angle than that previous ly used. The result was perceptible in- crease in speed.
 Among the spectators were M. Weller, the American consul general, Frank IL. Mason; Lieutenant-G General Baden-Powell. M Clemenceau, son of the French pre- mier. and Chief Engineer Bernhefm of the French navy. Admiral Bernheim, who has been a warm advocate of submarines for both offense and defense duty in time of war, expressed himself as greatly in terested in the possibility of the aero- plane as cheap sea weapon, especially for the defense of ports.
 With another flight of 50 kilometres, car ryfng a passenger. MT. Wright completes the fulfillment of the Weller contract. In the meantime, however, M. Weller has ordered the construction of 50 aeroplanes on the Wright model, and he said today that he had already arranged for the de- livery of seven of these to individuals in terested in that division of aeronautics.

BIG CROWDS HEAR
 CANDIDATE TAFT
Benefits Of Protection Are
 Shown to the Farmers
ON TARIFF AND THE TRUSTS
Taft Tells the Farmers That a Repub- lican Administration Is Solely Re- sponsible for the High
 Price of Wheat.

Topeka, Kan. October S-Beginning at Syracuse, on the western line of Kansas early today and ending at Topeka with two monster meetings tonight. William H. Taft reached the climax in crowds and enthusiasm of the campaign trip he began Il days ago in Cincinnati.
 In my 2 years residence in Kansas, and my 25 years of experience in cam paigning. I have never seen anything to equal the triumph Judge Taft has had today" Governor Hoch said.
 The crowds in Kansas have been phe- nomenal and the interest of the peo- pie most inspiring. The days develop ments leave no doubt that Kansas will be right on election day." said MT Taft.
 Emporia, Newton, Hutchinson and Staff ford furnished the banner crowds of the day In the II speeches delivered during the day and evening by MT. Taft. he not only talked in detail of the tariff and trusts and labor, but furnished Kansas farmers an itemized account of the in- creased profits they made in the last principle of protection, as he put it, over what they made under democratic en- forcement of free trade. This was a novel feature of his speeches in Kan sas over what he has been saying in the other states on the trip.
 At Dodge City there had been placed on a grain elevator large sign which read: Wheat, 1908, 92 cents, republican rule. Wheat, 1896. 55 cents, democratic rule"
 Taking notice of the sign, MT. Taft said to his large audience:
 T have statistics a little more complete than that. The average price of corn In Kansts in 1896 after four years of demo- cratic rule was IS cents per bushel. Now it is more than A cents per bushel. This re- publican price of fl cents for corn in Kansas gave to the farmers of Kansas for their corn crop of 1907 more than $4O,- 000,000 in excess of what they would have received if they had sold at the demo- cratic price of IS cents.
 With respect to wheat the average price of wheat in Kansas for the four dem ocratic years was 49 cents per bushe. At present it is over 92 cents bushel, and if your present wheat crop had been so l at democratic prices 1t would have ley you $21,000.000 less than you have today
 T ask in Heavens s name how sensible people can take the power out of the hands of the party that has made such prosperity possible and put it in. the hands of party whose record is what I have given. l have nothing to say against the democratic party. It is necessary evil in the nation. We have to have l it. l have nothing to say against their | leader. except that he has made him. l self heretofore and seems determined to l continue to make himself sign-post for the way that you ought not to take.'' The speeches of MT. Taft tonight at both the theatre and the auditorium were devoted to a discussion of labor, the trusts and tariff.

TOTAL EXPENSE OF
 THE THAW TRIAL

New York, October 3.-The total cost to New York county of the prosecution of Harry K. Thaw for the shooting of Stanford White has been $54,937, accord ing to papers submitted by District At torney Jerome to Justice Mills at New burg today. The purpose Of MT Jerome s application to Justice Mills was to have the approaching trial of Thaw 8 mental condition transferred from Vest chester to New York county. MT. Jerome said in the papers that the trial in West chester county would entail much great CT expense than if held in New York county Under the circumstances he cannot go to Westchester county to take part in the trial he tells Justice Mills, and asks that the trial be transferred to New York county ''as convenience would be promoted and the ends of /justice aided"
 october P has been fixed by Justice Mills as the date for the trial. There will be no jury, the justice alone taking the evidence.

EMPLOYES MUST
 NOT BE COERCED

New York; October 3.-Norman E.
 Mack, chairman of the democratic na- tional committee, said today before leav- ing for the west that a special fund of $50O0 had been appropriated and set aside for the purpose of punishing any person or corporation which endeavors to coerce employees in the national election. Spec ial counsel will be retained, MT. Mack said, to conduct prosecutions Mir Mack explained that numerous complaints had been received by the national committee
 from employees throughout the country that they had been threatened with dis
 missal if they persisted in support of the democratic ticket. Mir. Mack con- ! tinued:
 This is an attempt at bribery and is punishable as such. Threats of dismissal
 or to reduce wages of employees if they vote for MT. Bryan, or promises of high CT wages if they vote for MT. Taft, is plain bribery. We are not afraid of the effect of such tactics in this election because the American labofing man can not be bribed nor scared Into submission to the will of his master in matter as sacred as the ballot but I think it is the
 duty of this committee to protect the American working man from such meth
 ods.
 Tt is not advisable at the present time to give the names of these employees That would be an injustice to them. But the names of every guilty employer will be published and full publicity given to his case, both before and after election.
 The slip in the pay envelope few days before election advising how to vote will i not be permitted this year as in former campaigns"

AUTO RECORDS ARE
 SMASHED TO PIECES

Brighton Beach Race Track, October B. Special. )-All automobile records were smashed to atoms in the 24-hour race at Brighton Beach this evining when George Robertson and Frank Lescault, in a 5O- horse power Simplex car covered the as- tonishing distance of TIT miles, clipping 70 miles from the 1107 record made by six cylinder Lozier car three weeks ago at this track. Of the Lozier six-cylinder car driven by Cobe, and the Thomas six cylinder driven by Montague Roberts. had a desperate battle for second place, the Lozier car eventually winning out. cover ing 1125 miles to the Thomas cars 1115 miles.
 But for an unfortunate series of acci- dents the Renault car driven by Strang, would have figured prominently in the final results, and the same can be said of both the Thomas and Lozier cars. The former had nothing but tire trouble. changing no less than fl shoes on one of it's rear wheels. while the Lozier car was run into shortly after midnight Friday night, which seriously interfered with it's chances.
 This, however, did not deter the Work or the Simpkin car, which suffered consid- erable damage and delay through Friday nights unfortunate collision with the Sterns car that resulted in the death of Special Officer Pickett.
 Both the Michelin and Continental tire people had every reason to be satisfied with the result as the Michelin product was not only fitted to the winning car but to the Renault car, which had a good chance of winning until it withdrew. The Lozier car, which finished second, was equipped with Contine ntal tires.
 Of the other cars the A. K. Stearns and the Cleveland all did good work, and the three last named would have figured in the final result but for accidents in no way due to mechanical trouble. The final score was:
 No 6, Simplex Robertson-Lescault, HIT miles.
 No g. Lozier (Cobe- Mulford), i125 miles.
 No. 8, Thomas (Roberts- Winter), Ills miles.
 No Il, Allen Kingston Q.ahlwell-Pap- perday), 907 miles. No, 9, Cleveland (Chevrolet-Miller), 632 miles.
 No. 4, Stearns daurent- Marquis). 515 miles.
 The best previous record was 11o7 miles.
