Has SOLVED PROBLEM 3ooa
OF AERIAL NAVIGATION

Canton, o.. Jan. 23.--William III.
Martin. civil engineer of Stark
county, has applied for patent on an
alrship, which he believes will solve
the problem of aeronautics. He has
shown his models to members OF
the Canton Aero club and his plan
general meet approval.
MI. Martin explains that the new
feature OF this model Is the use OF
"equalizing sheets in sustaining the
equilibrium of an aeroplane.
The "equalzing Sheets" Mr.. Mar
TN says, as he demonstrated by a
model here today, prevents the ma
chine from turning over on its side.

CAN WE GET AN ELASTIC CUR
RENCY?


But this problem Of currency re-
form is not new one. 1t Is an old
zone, born with the nation, more than
n century old, varying with our de-
Ivelopment, our necessities, our pol
litics. And II you like, 1t goes back
TO the first days of the colonies; our
Pilgrim forbears had their troubles
with wampum. for the white beads
land black beads deprecated and were
Icounterfeited, and musket-balls for
change and limited circulation. The
story of our currency is the story
of the country, and the present at
tempt to improve the currency Is only
another historical chapter.
1t may be presumed that If any
one We're to ask one of our bankers

new, Back in 1890, eighteen years
Iago Secretary of the Treasury Win
dom, in his annual report said:
'In my judgment the gravest de-
fet in our present financial system
| Is its lack of elasticity"
Naturally, the question will be
asked why this is so impossible OF
accomplishment. II would not be If
the entler currency system could be
IchanSed ana remodeled in the knowl-
edge gained by actual experience
But 1t cannot You cannot, for the
sake of securing elastic elasticity
upset the entire business of the
country. And that Is what would hap
pen If brand new plan were adopt
ed. ,uu
Without gazing into the deep eco
nomic reasons, this question of elias
ticity can be explained simply. What
IL sought Is q system of currency of
lcirculating medium, hat will adapt
itself to tho business needs of the
country. In time Of dullness In bust
ness, or general depression, there Is
not the same neel for currency that
there Is in time of activity. Am ex-

lintlatlon a lack of II, strlngency. In
time OF panic money Is drawn out OF
the banks, withdrawn from circula-
Ition, and there is currency famine

some system that will permit a ready
contraction of the currency when
times are dull, business slack and
needs curtailed. They want, also, tc

A CURIOUS COINCIDENCE OF THE
SEA.

A CURIOUS COINCIDENCE OF THE
SEA.
Ralph D. Paine, while delving into
1.-THE old sealogs kept by eighteenth
century captains, and now stored in
the Essex Institute at Salem, brought
| to light strange tale that yet was
fact. He tells about It as follows:
"The Grand Turk, good ship be-
longing to Elias Haskell Derby, of
Salem, well-known merchant, was
returning to Salem from the West
Indies.A
During the voyage Captain In
lgersool rescued the master and mate
of an English schooner, the Amity
whose crew had mutinied while in
the Spanish Main. The two officers
had been cast adrift in a small boat
to perish. This was the first act In
unique drama of maritime coinci-
dence in 1774.
| 'After the castaways had reached
Salem. Captain Duncanson, the Eng
llish master of the Amity. was the
guest of Elias Haskell Derby while
he waited for word from his owners
land an opportunity to return TO his
home across the Atlantic. He spent
much of his time on the Waterfront
as matter of course. and used 20
stand at a window of Mr.. Derby's
counting house idly staring at the
harbor.
"One day while sweeping the sea-
ward horizon with the office spy glass
the forloIn British skipper let fly
an oath of the most profound amaze
ment. He dropped the glass, rubbed
his eyes, chewed his beard and stared
again. A schooner was making
across the bar, and presently she
stood clear of the island ut the har-
Dor mouth and slipped toward an
anchorage well inside.
| There was no mistaking her at
this range. II was the Amity. his
town schooner which had been taken
! from him in the West Indies. from
which he and his mate had been
east adrift by the piratical seamen.
Captain Duncanson hurried into Mr..
Derby's private office as fast as his
legs could carry him. BY some in
icredible twist of fate the captors of
the Amity had sailed her straight to
her captain.
Mr.. Derby was man of the great
est promptitude and one of his anch-
Iored brigs was Instantly manned with
heavy crew. two deck guns slung
aboard. and with Captain Duncanson
striding the quarterback, the brig
stood down to take the Amity.
.It was Captain Duncanson who
led the boarders. and the mutineers
were soon overpowered and fetched
back to Salem jail in irons. The
grateful skipper and his mate signed
n crew in Salem. and took the Amity

would be laughed out of court as
material for fiction" From "Pio-

SUSPECTS Are SEARCHED
But the Missing Money is
not Located.
Two "Weary Willies" While Doing
Begging Act Role Create Quite
a Sensation.

John Wilson and Harvey Williams
were arrested on West Center street
at O'Clock last nTsns by Officers
Bond and wilhelm. The pair of jays
had adopted the old European style
of begging and were making house
10 house canvass. A number of la
dies were badly scared by the ap-
pearance of the slouchy tramps and
the police were notified. In court
this morning, Mayor Scherff advised
the pair to secure work and ordered
them out OF town.
In connection with the arrest OF the
tramps, there was an amusing inch
dent. 1t seems as though when the
pair were arrested, they had just left
the home of DR.. +. M. Baldwin. A
number of people witnessed the ar
rests and soon the report spread like
wildfre that two men had held up
and robbed DR.. Baldwin, while he
was at work in his office. A number
of querys came into police head
quarters from anxious friends of DR..
Baldwin wishing to know whether or
not the physician was injured as bad
ly as was reported.
A travelling man, whose name was
not learned reported to the police last
night that he was robbed of $40 while
he was In West End saloon about
n o'clock. Officers Slagle and Isen-
berg searched two fellows who were
with the man at that time but found
no money on them. AS the man was
partially intoxicated and could not
account for the money he had spent,
the matter was dropped.
William Vance, plain drunk, was
arrested on North Main street by
Officers Hofstetter and Morrison last
night at II O'Clock. In the mayors
court this morning, he was fined IS.
He could not pay and stands commit
ted while he awaits the appearance

Chicago Men Declare Tide Will
Turn for Worse if
Bryan Wins
GOOD TIMES If TAFT SCORES
Secretary of Treasury corteIyou Says
Bryan is Menace to Industry and
Fnance-carnesie Holds to Same
Views and Declares Bryan's Election
Would be National Calamity.

Chicago. Oct. 30.-The leaders OF
Chicago's commercial activities =
whether in banking. mercantile, or in
dustrial lines-are united upon the eff
fects that will follow either Tafts or
Bryan's victory next Tuesday.
Leaving politics aside, talking pure
erloo1ing any influence their utter
ances might have upon voters, men
standing high in directories of financial
corporations agree with those in the
inner councils of labor unions that the
balance is to tip either toward activity
and prosperity or toward stagnation
and adversely. In every case there
was the understanding that the COM
nlents were not made for coercion
purposes, but solely as statements of
fact and judgment.
The views are those OF men who
make and sell things and those who aid
them by providing the money and the
equipment. The men interviewed are
those who consider the welfare of bus
mess and of employees as mutual. pros
perty of business meaning work at
good wages for the workingmen.
The men who were questioned We're
not asked their politics nor how they
We're going to vote. If they gave such
information they volunteered it. They
We're asked to state the results of their
calm business Judgment as to what the
future held forth to them and to the
country after the close of the presiden-
tial race.
In the event of a republican victory
these men foresee a continued growth
of confidence. a period of Improvement
and expansion time of busy shops
and thriving markets.
on the reverse they behold the be-
ginning of curtailment and retrench-
ment. a period of labor walking the
streets in search of employment. four
years of distrust, danger, and depres-
sion.
Assuming the election of Taft, they
traced the advance of prosperity from
the release of vast sums of money FOR
investment for the extension OF old
enterprises and the upbuilding of new
undertakings. thru the employment Of
labor for this work, thru the expendi-
ture of labor's increased profits for the
better things of life, the hiring of more
labor for the making of these better
things. and another swelling Of the la
borer's pocketbook. and so thru an
endless chain, always returning to the
betterment Of labor.
In the possible event Of Bryan's sue
cess they predicted an antithesis-con-
traction in existing concerns and the
absolute lack of new enterprises, the
cutting down Of pay rolls, an oversup
ply of labor, dull market for all prod
ucts, With capital holding fast to it's
money and labor watching it's income

In reply to your question, will say,
the writer is neither n statesman, pol
itician nor partisan, but looking from
purely a business standpoint, believe
the election of Mr.. Bryan would be a
serious blow to the Marshalltown
Buggy company. and by the Marshall
town Buggy company 1 mean the en-
ployes. officers and stockholders; and
they would feel the effect in the above
order, for the employees would be the
first affected by any change or con-
templated change in the policies of
our federal government.
There is nothing so tilnid or so sus-
picious of new theories. experiments
and innovations as capital until they
have been tried and been found to
stand the test. Mr.. Bryan's ideas,
theories and vagaries may be all right.
AS a matter of fact, the writer does
not honestly believe should he be ell
ected that his policies would differ
much from those of the present admin
stration, as responsibility makes
man conservative, yet it's not what
you or I believe, but it is what men
of finance believe, i, e., capital. for II
the men who have capital to invest
are afraid of the financial theories Of
Mr.. Bryan. they will not seek invest
ments until Mr. Bryan proves his
theories are not vagaries, but that
they will stand the test of practical
business ethics. Even should Mr.. Bry-
ans theories do this, it will take
months to convince capital that it is
safe. Should his theories not prove
true, it will take years for business to
readjust itself to the changed condi-
lions, or changing conditions, for if
Mr. Bryans theories change as rap
