AERoNAUTS GET READY
TO SIGNAL TO MARS

New York, May ga. Leo Stew
ems, the professional aeronaut, an
nounced that he and Prof. David b.
Todd OF Amherst college would go
into training in July for their pro-
posed ascension to a height of ten
miles for the purpose of signaling
Mars
Aluminium cases are being made
in which the two men will remain
during the ascension, and in these
they must breathe oxygen supplied
from tanks which they will carry
with them. The course of training
includes the inhalation of oxygen in
very low temperature.
On the ascension the two men will
be provided with specially prepared
clothing to keep them warm and a
particular dietary on which Prof.
Todd is now experimenting. The as
cension is planned for Sept. 10, when
Mars will be in its closest proximity
to the earth.

Chicago, May 90. This is a fight
of decency against the octopus of la
Dor graft it is the fight Of clean men
against the leaders that have be
trayed them for personal profit. New
York has wrestled with the monster;
san Francisco is fighting with II
now. And today Chicago is trying to
clean it's own stables.
This was part OF the denunciation
heaped on Martin b. Skinny Mad
den and his two lieutenants in the
building trades councils of Chicago
in the closing hours of their trial on
the charge of having accepted money
to call off strikes. The castigation
was pronounced by Assistant State s
Attorney Short in the first Of the
closing arguments.
The case probably will not reach
the jury before Thursday. the pen
atty in case of conviction is from
one to FIVE years IN the penitentiary
or a fine of $1,000 or both. Madden
an dhis friends are confident of ac-
quittal.

That remarkable word-colner and
phrase maker, Thomas w. Lawson,
who painted the character of Henry
H.. Rogers in Everybody's Magazine,
a few years since, as no man ever
was painted before in literature, not
even Barerre by Lord McCauley, has
this to say of the Great Standard
Oil King, new that he has passed
into the Silent land and beyond the
sowing II not the reaping:
Henry H. Rogers is now beyond
the reach of mans camera. History
will Linn his past; his future is in
the keeping of his Maker. Both are
inexorable in their mercy. Draconian
in their justice, and neither play ia
vorites.
There came a time when l was
at duty's wall, head on and could
not shrink. l painted the portrait
Of this great man, for he was in
deed, great and / pinned 1t to the
wings of time. That / painted into
this mans portrait loving son,
ideal husband gentle father can
bring no respite for they but back
ground the grizzled brutality of fos-
tered wrong, in which | red and yell
lowed the dweller of my foreground
nor tan | salve the burns of ever
lasting retriibution with the plea Of
personal INJURY, or balm them DER
with good Intention for my portrait
was conceived in calm resolution and
birthed in mature effort-monitored
in its very daub with What ye sow
that shall ye reap.
II knew Mr.. Rogers as perhaps
none other knew HMM his gentle
moods-and they were, oh, so gentle,
so gentle as to make mothers doubt
his sex; in his wrath which made him
kin to the jungle lords; then I
knew him when he was the granite
Sphinx OF business is business dol
lardom, and knowing him painted
that portrait, which to me was, is
now and ever will be a breathing
image of being more replete with all
the blooded men than any other
ever gazed upon or visioned in his
tory, verse or dream"

ly strong to attend to this duty with
out the assistance Of private persons.
1t is a deplomble fact, that 50 far as
the government is concerned, crime
is paramount. so strongly entrench-
ed are the enemies Of the people, be-
hind money and technicalities, that
the government confesses to it's in
abmty to dislodge them. SO this rich
man comes forward and furnishes the
funds TO help the government.
In the final analysis, what does
this mean? That the law itself helps
to destroy the law. And therefore
the conflict is transferred to another
arena, where wealth is made to fight
wealth. These rich transgressors,
made rich by trampling on the law,
use it to combat the law, when they
are arraigned for their ill-deeds. And
at this point, Spreckels appeared, and
spent his treasures in fighting the
plunder of these grafters and thieves
Some people criticize Spreckels for
doing this-that 1t is a suspicious dis
play of ones wealth. Not so. It
is a patriotic, high-minded deed, and
there is not a man in congress or in
President Taft's cabinet, who has
done the country a more unselfsh or
patriotic service, than Rudolph
Spreckels, when he spent a fortune
to uphold the law.--ohio State Jour

If Hon. n. T. Crane, of chicago,
is right in his position that the re-
turns of the expenditures for "hign
education" in Illinois do not justify
the expense then certainly It is high
time something be done. Our Ohio
people will find that their money by
the hundred thousand dollars an
nually is being spent for a like pur-
pose. How would 1t do for Governor
Harmon to appoint a commission of
competent persons to make an inyes-
tigation of this matter and report TO
him or the Legislature? We believe
in education, but we want proper
returns for some kind OF our money
agricultural, hygenic, scientRfc, lit
erary, artistic or something. People
should not pay out more money even
for higher education than it is
worth. And this is the alarming
position taken by the only man in
Illinois who ever made thorough
investigation of the matter.

Senators Elkins and Scott are
making hard fight for a tariff on
lumber, but you will find most Ohio
farmers, builders, contractors, etc.
enlisted under the free lumber
banner. Our judgment mas been,
after studying the matter carefully
on both sides, that lumber should
he given duty of 81 20 per tAou-
sand, rough board measure, and then
increased according to the degree of
finish. However, we are satisfied
our Ohio people would vote for free
lumber. But If we should make a
tariff we should try TO make one
reasonably fair to all interests.
Elkins wants 81 so or 81 as per thou
sand and will get II. That IS It will
go through the Senate and TO confer
ence. But something else may hap
pen after that. We prophesy COM
promise on $1.OO per thousand.
Elkins suggests that II tariffs are too
high to take of some of those aIti-
tudinOus duties and he is right in
that Lumber isn't the worse thing
in the tariff-not by mile. Even
50 90 per Thousand isn't serious. It
has compensations. But there are
some duties that have no compensa-
tions.

JUSTICES
ON STRIKE
Refuse to Marry People Un-
less They Get the Whole
Fee.

Youngstown, o., May 26-When in
formed that hereafter the 81 fee
charged for marrying people must
be turned into the State Treasury,
Justice of the Peace Jones and Jus
tice Evans declared that there woul
be no more weddings in their courts.
"Our weddings never are worth
more than So to us, and we will not
conduct marriage ceremonies for
nothing" both declared.
They explained that when a fee OF
$5, the usual fee, is received, $3.50
goes to the cab driver who engineers
the ceremony. Fifty cents is given
to the clerks for making out the pa
pers, so that the justices receive
only So, or the sum they are asked
to pay into the State Treasury.
For long time justices of the
peace in Youngstown, the Gretna
Green of this part Of the country
have made big sums by their mar
riage ceremonies. Four and five cere-
monies a day are not unusual in
Youngstown justice offices.
The justices long have had agree
ments with cab drivers in the matter
of marriages. Elopers coming here
from Pennsylvania are spotted" at
once at the railroad stations by cab
drivers, who take them in charge.
The cab drivers take them to the
court house for licenses and then
drive them to the Office of one OF the
other Of the justices of peace, unless
minister is demanded Besides tho
fare for the carriage, the cab driver
is given rebate out of the fee paid
the justices.
With the decision of the justices OF
peace no longer to perform marriage
ceremonies, all weddings will go to
the ministers and marrying par
sons" who make a speciality OF mar
rying Pennsylvania elopers.

KAISER WITNESSES
FLIGHT OF AIRSHIPS

Doeberitz Germany, May 26-The
Gross and the Parseval airshlps com
manded by officers of the army, took
part in the field exercises of the
footguards yesterday, in the pres
ence OF Emperor William.
Strong winds made the evolutions
difficult, especially in the higher alti-
tudes, where the wind was blowing
at the rate of thirty-eight miles an
hour, but in the low levels the pilots
executed difficult maneuVers with
great skin. Both ships then came
down in front of the emperor, who
inspected them thoroughly. The two
balloons subsequently returned to
headquarters at Tegel, nine miels
distant, without mishap.
