The Moslems also feel that they have been defrauded of their right to enrich themselves by the loot of Armenian shops and homes, which their eo-reli- gionists lately enjoyed at Adana and elsewhere. So long as the two motives of race hatred and thirst for loot exist there k bound to be trouble.
 From whence eometh helpe Those most familiar with the situation in Turkey agree that the time has now come for the intervention of the Chris tian Powers. The agitafors and reac- tionaries boldly assert that there is no- thing to fear from these Powers, that they did nothing to the perpetrators of the former massaeres and that they have done nothing now. There is too much truth in this statement.
 Von Moltke predicted years ago tha, a universal war would some time be waged beneath the walls of Constant. nope. There is grave danger lest this prediction be fulfilled unless the follow CTS of the Prince of Peace rally to the support of the brave Constitutionalists at this critical time in the history ol the Ottoman Empire.

 Charles Carroll was one of the pufest patriots that ever America produced. Years before the Revolution his genius and energies were employed in combat ting the tyrannical acts of the Bfitish Government. In TITO he wrote articles under the signature of the "first eiti- zen, T against the right of the govern ment to regulate fees by proclamation.

How to Do fl, and How Not to Do It.

In speaking of the legislation that ought to have been acted upon but has been put off in the Legislature, the Conrant says of one of the measures:
 "What will happen to the direct pri- mary We doubt If anybody at all active in affairs has not heard from all sides an expression of wish that we might have such system here. IL has been once already put of for two years, The proposal 10 give it two wears more to sleep is equivalent to making the trance a funeral. This sub jeet Was presented and fully argued away back when the Legislature WAS young. kNerbody knows whatit stands for
 Our Legislature is something like that Of New York, which undertook 10 head oil Governor Hughes when elected his first term, because he recom- them the direct primary, and also more stringent laws to prevent race course gambling, which was scandal to the State, which the people desired tohaye corrected, and bill was submitted for that purpose. The Republican lead CTS were arrogant and determined to teach the Governor that they managed the legislation of the State without his advice, They defeated the bill, as they were able to compel members of their party to vote as they dictated regard less of their duty and feelings. That lesson did not frighten the Governor. for he appealed to the people against the next election the people expressed their wishes so emphaticatly that the new Legislature passed the raee-tFaek anti gambling bill. The bosses realized thal their power was ai stake, and sub mitted to the demands of the people. Their humiliation ineensed them more against the Governor. and they gave out word that he musl not be nonaia a. ted and elected again. But he WAS, and again urged the passage of his re. form measures. the difeet primary he. ing one of them. Blinded hy theil indignation. the leaders openly deiied the Governor and threatened to defeal his reform measures.

MISS KATHERINE WRIGHT.

the bicycle craze was at it's height, and they engaged in bicycle repairing as a business.
 It was while conducting this bus ness that they began working upon a. machine which developed into the fy ing machine Their original idea was to make toy. a sort of aerial tobog- gan upon which fellow could have fun.
 They constructed a plane of that kind and found that so long as it nov ed forward it would support them
 Then the idea of attaching motor to it and driving it forward entered their minds.
 It was at this critical period in their. careers that the aid of the sister was sought. She had taken an interest in
 the gliding machine. but when they be
 gan talking about flying machines she
 grew enthusiastic. Right away Wi-
 bur and orville Wright. with the aid
 of their sister. took up the serious
 study of aeronauties.
 They resd everything printed the
 subject the sister ordering the books
 for them as they learned of the vol
 umes that had appeared. They did not believe everything they read in the books. and that was their salvation ia a sense.
 Miss Wright made the calculations. and her brothers made the expert ments. The three worked together Before any demonstration was made before her brothers had tested the ma chine they were building, Miss Wright knew that it was possible for man to 6y.
 She was the first woman in the world to know 1t positively. She knew 1t oe' cause she herself had made the calcu' lations. She was willing to stake what little money she had saved from her salary as sehoolteaeher. along VIII the smaller amount her brothers haa saved. upon the outcome of the desice l to be made according to her caleus- tions. She staked it and she won When the machine was complelea l and was found to be success aud became desirable to get in touch wi'D the nations of the world it was kath' l crime Wright who brought the aefp- | plane to the attention of the meh WnV would have fo be dealt with.
