What Platform Means

The president asserts for the first
time his authority as the titular head
of his party. AS such he announces
his conviction that the party platform
meant a revision downward and that
no other Interpretation can be placed

veto, which many political observers
read into the presidents statement. it
is taken also to mean that II congress
does not agree 10 what he regards as
proper revision downward. there viii

power OF veto.

w WASHINGTON July 1s.-All

swept away today when statement
was given out at the White House
setting forth in detail what the presi-
dent had TO say to % republican mem
bers Of congress, who called to pro-
test against putting raw materials On

The president in this statement de-
clared that the republican party was

OF the Chicago platform and that he
personally had promised a downward
revision to the people.

a game;
They seemed bit miffled when they
got up to 20,
But we've were awfully glad that
they came;
And my, but that money comes handy,

We seemed to be wond'rously lucky,

We only play poker to put in the

And only last week, with our rent over

The Briggses came in and we got out
the deck.
We won all their money before we were
through,
And Briggs had to give us twelve
dollar cheek,
We had enough left when we'd settled
the rent
To dine at De CLAIMS and go to a
show
It's funny how quickly our money is
spent
We only play cards for excitement,
you know.
Some people efe coming to see us to-

And oh, how hope that our luck win

WIRELESS MESSAGES.
Washington to Have the Greatest
Tower Ever Erected.

Tower Ever Erected.
The navy department at Washington
las devised a system by means Of
which 1t will be possible to transmit
Messages by wireless telegraphy half
way across the globe without relaying.
II is its attention to build at Wash
agton the greatest tower ever erected
Cor the transmission Of messages by
wireless. This is to be 400 feet high
nd capable of sending messages by
fay or night, in summer weather and
IN the worst of storms, for a distance
of 5000 miles.
Those who bid on the tower are free
to make it out of paper or steel. as
they choose, but of whatever material
IS used 1t must be guaranteed to fash
messages those 5000 miles at all times
without interruption over test period
Of full year. There have been many
experiments along this line. and its
success demonstrated. The Germans
have built long distance wireless
tower at Nauen, Just outside Of Ber-I
lin. Another is being built at Milan.
The celebrated Eiffel tower In Paris is
being put to this use.
The navy department is very partic.
ular about its equipment, and, while
there are three towers on the Atlantic
coast which are able at times to send
messages 1000 miles to Colon, still
thax, o. 80 pnt aatsufaoka~xr a., all t.s.S-
Of weather. 1t is a peculiar fact that
bright sunlight interferes with the
transmission Of messages, as may d
storm, and these are conditions that
must be completely overcome in the
new wireless tower.
IT Is planned as soon as the frsu
great wireless tower at Washington
has shown itself able to handle long
distance messages to abandon all thu
small stations along the Atlantic coast.
and the tower at Washington WIN be
duplicated at Colon, Hawaii, the Phill
ippine Islands and wherever similar
erections may be found necessary.
While wireless messages do not travx
ell well over land at present--and sci@
entists are very much In the dark al
to why they don't-it Is known that
the radius may be increased by higher
towers, more powerful electrical ma
chimes and perfect rapid spark break
ers. Results are the object Of the navy
department and 1t is willing to ask the
why's and "wherefores' afterward.
An effort was recently made to utii-
lie the Washington monument for
long distance wireless messages, but
President Roosevelt did not approve
of the plan, and the high tower which
is to be built at the Washington navy
yard is the outcome.
1t VIII not be long, therefore. before
the department win be able to COM
municate with any OF the ships of
either the Atlantic or Pacific feet ana

they were only few miles apart In

situation as between the Senate lead

ing President Roosevelt has developed
with respect TO the proposed appoint.
ment Of Senator Hemenway of Indiana
for secretary of the treasury. 1t
amounts to an effort on the part Of
the Senate and House leaders to get
Taft TO assist them in striking at the
president by appointing Hemenwry.
Should the president do this it
would be proclaimed that he had TAX

Strong pressure to get Hemenway
named is being brought to bear on Mr..
Taft. Senator Hale even went so far
yesterday as to make a speech to the
appropriations committee. in which he
said the candidacy of Hemenwuy was
not Of Mr.. Hemenway's own making.
Nevertheless, said Mr.. Hale, ii was as
strong a candidacy as he had ever
known.

Berlin, Feb. 24.-The menacing att.

French government to undertake medi-

peace, and Germany has been asked to
Join France in this endeavor. The Ger
