aside their selfish material interests

is ushered in The Rev. John D. Long
said that 200 ministers of various de
nominations in all parts of the country
had signed manifesto to the churches.
He held that Christian Socialism is
neither new kind Of Christianity nor
a new kind Of socialism, but is only
the effort to apply the teachings of
Jesus to the ordinary affairs of life.
With this spirit it seeks to permeate
the churches. Dr. Long had been asked
by the local papers what he and his
clerical brethren would do about recog-
nizing ''Comrade Debs," the Socialist
presidential candidate having come to
new Socialist daily, the Call Longs
reply was to lead on to the platform
Debs himself. There followed a re-
marka Bile demonstration from the vast
audience the cheering lasting for TWEEN
ty minutes. Debs said he was willing
to take the Christian comrades by the
hand, although he admitted that for
merly he had held a strong prejudice
against the clergy. He warned them
that they could not hope to escape the
persecution and would have to stand
with him among the ''undesirab les.'

Books at Cut Prices Legal.
The purpose of the American Pub

sellers from cutting the prices fixed by
the association has been finally upset
by the decision Of the supreme court

court holds that the copyright law does
not protect the publishers Of a book in
the right to sell copies of it. The claim
was made that the cut price sellers
were guilty of ''contributory infringe
ment' by inducing publishers to violate
the rule of the associa ton. This was
denied by the court.

The Carnegie Steel company, one of
the branches of the steel trust. has
been forced to follow the independent
producers in cut of the price Of steel
bars to 81 despite the efforts of the
trust to keep prices up. A cut in struc-
tural steel at once followed from $1.7O
to $3.50 ton. This, coming on the
heels of the recent cut in pig iron, is
expected to greatly stimulate orders
from builders and contribute to the for
ward movement of business.

Against Kings Visit to Gear.
The opposition Of the adical Labor
ties and Socialists in the British COM
mons to the proposed official visit of
King Edward to the czar Of Russia
continued and caused sharp debate.
O'Grady, Labor member from Leeds,
moved that the amount Of money al
lowed for the trip be limited to $500
and, amid prolonged cheers, said it
England to consOrt with the ruler re-
sponsible for the horrors Of bloody
Sunday and other crimes against hui
manity and freedom in Russia. Kettle
said the visit would be not a frater-
nization with the Russian people, but
with the hangman of Russia. In reply
to the Laborftes Sir Edward Grey, the
foreign secretary, accepted full respon-
sibility for advising the king to pay
the visit at this time. He denied that
any negotiations were afoot for new
treaty, but said it was expected that
better relations between the two coun-
tries would be the result.
A motion condemning the proposed
visit was defeated-225 to SO.

While the Wrights have no public or

Wrights express confidence that they
have solved the problem Of mechanical
flight and say that they hold patents
on most Of the points Of their fnven-
ton in every European country as well
as in this country. In appearance THERE
machine is a great box kite with two
parallel planes forty feet long and six
and helf feet wide made of muslin on
spruce frames. Between them and just
under the upper plane is a motor which
drives the propeller, which is in the
rear, six feet behind the disks of the
planes. There is rudder in front and,
an arrangement by which the edges of
the planes may be lowered or raissA
so as to maintain an even keel when
cross currents strike the ship. In this
years model the operator may sit up
right. Below the frame toward the
front is a pair of runners, or skids, by
means Of which the landing is made
smooth, and in the center near the bot
tom there is a small double wheel
truck which runs On a single rail while'
attaining the requisite speed to rise.
The rail is porta BILE. The motor weighs
100 pounds, and the entire weight win
two riders is LOO pounds. The prin-
ciple Of it's flight is the old one Of the
