whole matter over again, and remem-

he is right, and the voters can be in

serious results to Shaw and his likes.

for Thaw to pretend to know more

Spain is showing signs of life. The
marauding expedition of her army
against the Moors in the interest of
mining magnates shows that she is en-
tering upon the road of modern indus
trialism. The protest of her workers
against being used for cannon fodder
in securing profits is another sign of
the same thing. These and other things
are further indications that the world

There is one African story that is
being neglected. The Associated Press
should say that a. committee of Afri-
can villagers called on Colonel Roose-
welt at his camp, and said that lions
were destroying men, women and
children in their vicinity. Then, after
a low bow, members of the committee
should beg Colonel Roosevelt to come
to their rescue. Being gallant man
as well as a dead shot, the Colonel
consents. Here to follow long ac-
count of the trip to the village, with
details of securing heaters, etc. The
colonel goes out on the hunt, and kills
seven man eaters. The grateful peo-
pie of the village almost worship him.
Then he returns to his former camp,
and resumes work on his book at two
dollars word. -Atchison Globe.

The effect Of good roads on school
attendance needs no proof. In the
five states having the best roads the
average attendance is n per cent OF
enrolment. In the five states having
the fewest good roads the attendance
averages only SO per cent.
These figures appeal to the industrial
and economic sense. They demon.
strate the value of good roads and
the expediency OF investment along
these lines and ought to create a senti-
ment that is strong enough to simply
demand state system of highways
constructed of standard grade by the
best engineering skill. Time and
again it has been demonstrated that
the American farmer because of his
inferior roads pays % cents ton for
hauling, while European farmers get
the same service for less than nine
cents ton. Such is the tax which
bad roads put on the agricultural in
dustry Of the country.
Professor Guido Marx of Stanford
university publishes some very in
structive data concerning the striking
increase in the demand for a univer-
sity education, which has been OBJ
served in America and most European
countries. In this race or competition
of nations Germany and the United
States have long lead, while Eng
land lags behind in all others except
Russia. A glance at these data serves
to indicate one cause why British
statesmen and manufacturers find
themselves SO hard pressed by German
competition in the industrial field.
This increased demand for the higher
education began in the early seventies
and has continued ever since, with
ever accelerating force. In comment
ing on this movement in Germany,
Professor Marx writes:
At the beginning of the period of
rapid development (lS70) we find one
student for every 1900 inhabitants,
while in 1907 we find one student for
every 1000 inhabitants. This denotes
twice as widespread a participation in
the benefits of higher education-and,
involving, as this must, higher per-
sonal efficiency, needs and aspira-
tions, it is not too much to claim that
We are we'll on 1.-THE way toward an
entirely new social order; that we are
in the midst of an intellectual re-
Nuisance of profoundest import, of a
movement which is one of the most
significant in the History of the de-
velopment and progress of the race.

In Golfers we find an article which
contains an astonishing and, indeed,
surprising collection of facts and
figures bearing on the country road
problem, that so closely affects the
prosperity of the rural districts of
America. AS the towns depend for
their business on:".the prosperity of
their back country the problem is
vital to the whole United States. The
article is writtenIby Miss Angnes c..
Laut and she finds, for instance:
''With access to market and best
ruling prices net returns increase and
farm lands jump in value. It is an
actual fact, wherever good roads
have gone, land has increased in
value fromls2 to SO an acre. In Jack
son county, Alabama, a bond issue of
Sz50,0OO built 125s miles of macadam
road. The selling price of land was
from S6 to SIS before the road was
built. On the completion land values
went up from SIS to S25. In Bradley
county, Tennessee, land values ad-
vanced fromss9 to s15 and $50.
An other curious but perfectly ma
tural result of good roads is popula-
ton. Buyers buy more readily when
they can market easily. Take these
figures:
In twenty-five counties, where there
was only LIS per cent of improved
roads, theDpopulation decreased in the
ton years from 1890 to 1900 total OF
Il 800.
In twenty-five counties, whore 40 per
cent OF the roads wore improved, the
population increased in the Same
period TIC, 600.

lions are being attacked to make room
for industrialism and the tyranny of
ind:strialism is trembling before the
march of the rebellious ranks of the
exploited workers. Spain has fingered
SO long outside the march of progress
that it is at least questionable if she
has the vitality to pass through such
a crisis. She has lain in the back
wash of the current of progress for the
last hundred years, and neither her
working nor her exploiting class have
developed the energy and initiative
necessary to carry through a great
revolution; such is the first essential
to further rogress. She is much more
apt to swelter in her own blood for
several years than to throw Off the
multifold forms of outgrown tyranny
that hamper her and move on toward
liberty and progress.

WRIGRT'S AEROPLANE
CircIed the Parade Ground az Fort
Meyer Six Times.

Washington, July 13. - Orville
Wright last evening made a very sue.
cessful flight In the Wright aeroplane
at Fort Meyer, Va, remaining In the
air five minutes and 80 seconds, dur.
ing which time the machine attained
the exceptional speed of about 40
miles an hour, circling the parade
grounds half a dozen times, a total
distance of about three and a half
miles.
After keeping a crowd of nearly a
thousand cXpectant people, including
a number prominent in official life,
waiting for an hour mad a half on &C.
count Of wind conditions, the aero
plane started on its flight at 1907 p.
m. The aviator concluded not to
prolong the trial because the motor OF
the machine, which had just been re.
paired, was not working perfectly,
Each time the aeroplane circled past
the starting point the spectators
cheered.
A smart breeze prevented Che
Wright brothers from starting the
aerOplane Immediately after 1t was
brought from the shed at ) o'clock.
During the delay the Wrights talk
ed at length with Count Won Berns-
torff, the German ambassador, among
others, explaining the workings OF the
machine. Mrs. Nicholas Longworth.
daughter of ex-President Roosevelt,
enthusiastically examined the aero
plane with the inventors, and the Sec
rotary of the navy, George o l..
Meyer, gave 1t a careful inspection.
Shortly after Z o'clock the breeze
died down sufficiently to permit 3
fight. When the signal was given the
machine shot forward instantly and
mounted gracefully into the light
breeze. Mr.. Wright guided the nyer
to the lower end Of the large parade
ground and circled around toward the
starting point, gradually rising higher
from the ground.
Six times he rounded the course,
the machine attaining an average
speed of about 40 miles an hour, ac'
cording to Mr.. Wright.
After passing the crowd the sixth
time the aviator descended easily and
alighted with no apparent Jar.
Both of the Wrights expressed
themselves as pleased with the per
Torrance. They intend to make only
short flights until the new bearings
have become worn down and the pro
polling motor is working perfectly.

Mrs. Sophia Staber, wife of George
Staber, a New York importer of paper,
In whose residence at Flatbush, l.. l.. a
suburb Of Brooklyn, there vas a bat
tie with burglars early Thursday in
which Mrs. Staber met death. The
men say they are Carlo Giro, born in
Trieste, Austria, and John Smith,"
The latter speaks with German accent,
He was the one wounded. He was OPP
Grated upon and told that he might
not live and urged to tell the whole
truth. He admitted, the police say,
that II was a bullet from his pistol,
discharged in a struggle with Mrs.
Staber's o George, that killed her.
Giro was picked up first after the
burglary while trying to beg or buy a
pair of shoes, for the men had removed
theirs while entering the house. Smith
was found under a bush, bleeding,
about a mile from the Staber house.
Mrs. Staber was shot dead at 2
o'clock In the morning while standing
In her bedroom door.
The burglar withdrew to the hall but
the mothers cries had aroused her
son George, 20 years old. AS he stepped
from his door, a mar struck at him in
the darkness, missed "a stumbled
down stairs. At the same instant he
saw the second burglar, grappled with
him, and fought him into the bath
room. In the struggle the burglar
managed with his free hand to draw a
seven-shot automatic pistol. Then be-
gan a fierce fight for the pistol.
In the meantime Mrs. Staber was
standing in the doorway, screaming,
not needing her husbands attempt to
pull her into the room. Young Staber
succeeded In keeping the muzzle of
the burglars gun away from him, but
1t was nevertheless discharged. Two
shots went wild; the third cut the
drawstrings of his pajamas, set the
cloth on fire, and. though not wound
ing him, killed his mother. Just as
young Staber finally got control of the
pistol, the burglar wrenched loose.
Staber chased him down the stairs,
firing as he ran. Two shots evidently
took effect but the last two cartridges
misfred. When he reached the YER
andah. the street was empty.

MUCH STEEL NEEDED
Years Requirements For the Panama
Canal $4s, oo0, 900.

Washington, July 13. Forty-eight
million dollars will be needed by the
lsthmian canal commission to carry on
the work of digging the Panama canal
during the fiscal year 1911, according
to estimates which have been received
by Secretary of the Treasury Mac
Veagh, who prepares the annual book
of appropriations to be submitted to
congress.
The appropriation for the current
year was $685. 900. During the pres
ent fiscal year contracts will be made
Tor the delivery next year of large
quantities of structural steel material
necessary in the construction of the
gates of the locks OF the canal. Money
for this material, the officials say, is
one OF the important items in the es-
Inmates submitted. Next year they
probably will be lower. The estimates
will probably receive the careful at.
tention of President Taft to the end
that they may be scaled down, if pos
sible.
