mess activity to abnormal dizziness
represents a change from bounding
health to invalidism. The sudden
ness of the depression resembled a
railway accident, the expanded pro-
duction suddenly contracting be-
low normal proportions. Decreased
production put many laborers out OF
employment, but the waiting list is
gradually becomming smaller with
the revival of Industries.
The contraction of traffic reached
the low point in April, when 49,
600 cars were idle. The first two
weeks in May, 9,071 idle cars were
put into operation and some of the
railways reported increased gross
earnings.
In April, 1907, the labor organic.
ations of the United States reported
but l per cen of their membership
out of work. On March 1, 1908,
there were SO Of the members oil
labor organizations unemployed. On
April l only &C per cent of the mem.
bership were idle, indicating that the
low point in production had bee
reached and affairs in the industrial
world were improving.
Textile manufacturers report more
inquiry, with larger orders for goods
for immediate delivery, and the gen.

active than for some months past
There is better booking for fall de.
liveries, owing to the favorable ag.
ricultural outlook. Manufacturers

iron have been the heaviest in
months, late orders including U.s.

plays a firmer undertone, with an ad.
vance of SO cents per ton for south

Wholesale merchants and large
department stores report business
conditions improving. Large mer.
camille houses are more optimistic
and If the large experience of men
of commercial affairs is weighed the
low point of the present industrial
depression has been reached and i'm
provement commenced. In Chicago
the building industry and other com.
mercial lines are Of larger volume
than a year ago, when general bus.
mess was abnormally active. The

decreasing and all industrial enter.

TIME TO MAKE UP.

In some respects the primary fight
Just ended is similar to the cival
war, SO far as the republican end of
1t is concerned. Fortunately the
conflict was a bloodless one although
the excitement and partisanship did
run high in the last stages of the
strenuous campaign, the like OF
which has not been seer in the state
for a long time.
But the time for internal dissen-
tons in the republican party as rep
resented in South Dakota should by
all the rules Of the game be over
now and every loyal member of the
party should put his shoulder to the
wheel for a rousing victory next au-
tumn. A signal triumph will IN
doubtedly be the reward of a united
party. Continued dissension will al
most as certainly result in a demo-
cratic walk away. The time is ripe
for burying the Ratchet so let all
loyal republicans assist in putting it
down the requisite Sex feet and get
together and give a concrete illus
tration of what team work will ac-
complish.

THE NATIONAL CONVENTIONS.

tory to some extent and the time is
rapidly approaching for the holding
Of the two big conventions whose
outcome Is fraught with an impor-
lance not only nation wide but of
moment to the entire civilized world
whether it would have it that way r
no.
The selection Of presidential TIM
Der from which a man must be chos-
en- to rule over a country as great as
ours Is q job OF no small size and de-
mands the most careful consider
alton the delegates soon to be in
session at Chicago and Denver can
give, but whether it gets the desired
attention or not is another matter,
for politics nd politicians have ways
all their own, not meant for the faith
oming Of ordinary folk.
Still there is no particular reason
for feeling that both democrats and
republicans will place men in the
field, whose sincerity of purpose can
be questioned for a moment or who
would not give the best in them for
their country. The American people
at this stage of their progress are
extremely fortunate in having so
great a company Of distinguished
individuals from which to choose a
leader.
AT present writing Taft and Bryan
cen to be Just about the whole
show with little chance of anything
coming up to change the outlook.
Most OF the interest oenters around
the men who are to occupy second
Place on the ticket. Senator Dolli-
liver OF Iowa, ami the present in
eumbent, Fairbanks of Indiana are
showing strong for the republican
honor. Also a person named Ham
mond from Massachusetts would not
feel offended if his name were placed
on the ticket.
Preparations for the big events
are going on at a great rate In the
convention cities and a larger crowd
than ever before is expected 10 take
advantage Of the rates offered by
the railroads on account OF the
quadrennial melting OF n ational
politicians. Meanwhile those Of US
who are to stay at home will place
our ear close to the ground and lis
ten to the distant rambling and
make mind bets on the chances OF
fvorite candidates.

SUNDAY OBSERVANCE.
Bishop Of Washington Gives His
Views on the Subject.

Bishop Satterlee preached on the neces-
sity of Sunday observance yesterday morn
ing at the Pro-Cathedral Church of the
Ascension. The preceding Sunday had
been set for the sermon, but the bishop
was unable to deliver it that day, which
was used for the purpose by a number
Of other preachers.
Conscience Is smothered by weekday
life." the bishop said. Sunday rest is
needed to keep God a reality In our lives.
! have nothing to say about Sunday
except that they entail a loss
of time, which means the loss Of spiritual
power. Sunday services are neglected.
and people seem to think only of music.
or some other pleasure. Sunday seems no
longer a day for public worship.
Sunday observance is needed for God
and for home. How shall it be practical
to get it? BY setting forth rules against
Sunday dinners. Sunday at-homes. Sun
day excursions? No. That would do no
good. We must have positive inward
convictions that Sunday must be rescued
for God and home. Here is a practical
issue. We must protect Sunday observ-
ance for God and for home: that must be
our inspiration-our battle cry And if
we have to bear the 'reproach Of Christ
in this standing out as witnesses for
Christ. the reproach itself becomes our
glory and the sure token that our re-
ligious life Is a reality"

DISCUSS LORD KELVIN.
Addresses by Three Speakers Before
Philosophical Society,".

The Philosophical Society of Washing
ton held a meeting last Saturday evening
in Hubbard Memorial Hall in commemora-
tio1 of the life and works of Lord Kelvin.
the noted student of philosophy, for more
than half a century connected with the
University of Glasgow. Scotland. Three
lectures were delivered, the speakers be-
ing Prof Arthur G. Webster of Clark
University. on Lord Kelvin's Life and
Works." Prof. Robert S. Woodward of
the Carnegie Institution. on Lord Kel-
wins Contributions to Geophysics." and
Prof Simon Newcomb. on Lord kelvin's
Character and Personality"
The lecturers dwelt on Lord Kelvin s
achievements in determining the amount
of electrical absorption surrounding sub
marine cables for telegraphic purposes,
and, in consequence, the amount of elec-
trical current necessary to forward
cablegrams. At the time of the laying of
the Atlantic cable in 1850 the question of
the electrical current necessary and the
allowance for waste and absorption was
an important one. and was discussed In
all the leading scientific journals at the
time Lord kelvin's theory was opposed
by q number of scientists and capitalists.
but subsequent events showed that he
was correct.
A system of correctly measuring tenn
perature devised by Lord Kelvin and
the latter's theory of heat waves were
also discussed.
