Reporting The
National Election

Never before in the history of the
United States were the newspapers so
great a factor in a national election.
Aside from the editorial influence
upon public opinion in the campaign,
the news was never so swiftly and
accurately reported and distributed,
from the beginning of the campaign
to the counting of the votes. This
fact is so strikingly evident to the
whole nation, and, indeed, to the peo-
pie of other continents, that it be-
comes the basis for a new regime in
our political life. The immediate fact
in this new regime is the disappear
ance of the army of spellbinders."
The army in the late campaign was
the smallest, relatively, in the history
of the country. Today, after the cleo
ton, wise political managers frankly
say that the practice of spellbinding"
will not be a big feature in future
campaigns. This, of course, does not
apply to spectacular travelling cam
paigns such as were made by Mr.. Taft,
Mr.. Bryan, Governor Hughes and a
few others. These hardly come under
the head of "spellbinding."
AS in former campaigns, New York
City was the solar plexus of the news
business last Tuesday night. The work
of the press associations was aston
ishingly admirable. The following in
cident illustrates the tremendous
strides made by this branch of news
paperdom:
million people in the streets of
New York watched the bulletin boards
of the metropolitan newspapers. Many
thousands indoors waited beside tick
ers, telephones, telegraph instruments,
or sat in theaters, hotels, clubs listen
ing to announcers. New York City

minute, how the contest for New York
City was going. But what about the
section of the state outside? Early
in the evening Erie County including
Buffalo, had shown a landslide to Bry-
an and Chanler. New York City was
showing a landslide to Taft, and a
normal vote for Chanler. A million
people quivered, cried out Historically
for news from upstate.
Some news came, making probable
Taft's victory in the State. For an
hour hardly a thing developed to
show how the contest for the gov
ernorship was going, and this contest
was all absorbing to the eight mil
lions of the Empire State. Political
committees could not be relied on for
anything. Rival committees accused
each other of holding back the re-
turns, presumably for manipulation.
And then, before nine O'Clock came
a bulletin from a press association,
vivid with tremendous fact and sig
nificance:
One thousand and fifty districts out
of BOSS. outside Greater New York
gave Hughes plurality of $4,000 over
Chanler.
A quarter of a minute later came
the exact figures of the vote for each
candidate. This meant that, if the ra-
ito held, Hughes would come down
to the Bronx with a plurality of $780,

A number Of years ago a somewhat
sensational journalist was making q

her brief stay there was a visit to
Robert Louis Stevenson. who was then
living IN that city.
Calling at his home, she was told
that he was too i'll to see any one that
day. She wrote him an appealing little
note on the back Of her card, explain

her to remain over to see him later

silent and shy before the writer.

construction Of the government OF
the far eastern Archipelago. He was
charged by the secretary with the
codification Of the laws of the Phil
ippines, and later organized the con-
stabulary which he has done, and is
doing, great good.
During the campaign of 1904
Judge Parker, the Democratic cam
didate, gave out a statement, in
which he viciously attacked the adj
ministration Ia the Philippines, bas-
ing his views on book written by
correspondent, Gen. Edwards, chief
of the bureau Of insular affairs, cab
led the interview to Gen. Wright,
and requested him to answer it.
This he did in a most decisive man
ner. His conduct on that occasion
never has been forgotten by the
president and Secretary Taft.
It was suggested that the appoint,
ment of Gen. Wright might give
further offense to the negroes. i
appears, however, his record in Thu
respect is entirely satisfactory t.
the administration.

Ambassador to Japan. He remained

Gen. Wright's selection unques-

It is believed Gen. Wright's ap.

Probably the Oldest copy book for

was found in excellent condition, dates
from the period about 17O0 B. C.--that
-, about 100 years before the time Of
Moses, or almost 5000 years ago. 1T
proves that the Egyptians had thor
ough knowledge Of elementary mathe-
mattcs almost to the extent Of our
own. The papyrus has long heading,
Direction how to attain the knowI-
edge Of all dark things" etc. Numer.
GUS examples show that their principal
operations with er-:.s. units and frac-
tons were made ~ means Of addition
and multiplication. subtractions and
divisions were not known in their
present form. but correct results were
obtained nevertheless.
Equations are also found in the
papyrus. Among the examples given
is this one: Ten measures Of barley are
to be divided among ten persons In
such manner that each subsequent
person receives one-eighth Of a meas
ure less than the one before him. An
other example given is: There are sew
en- men; each one has seven cats, each
cat has eaten seven mice, each mouse
has eaten seven grains Of barley. Each
grain of barley would, If cultivated.
have yielded seven measures Of barley.
How much barley has been lost in that
way? The papyrus also contains cal.
culations OF area, the calculation Of the
area Of circle and Its transformation
into square and finally calculations
Of the cubic measurements Of pyra-
