A desire to get the most service for the
least money really seems the earmarks or
an enlightened age. for time was when
ignorance was indicated by the fear of
what was to be had without cost. II Is
an actual fact that when the first tele-
graph line stretched from the Capital city
to Baltimore. in the desire to familiarize
the public with the use of the magnetic
telegraph. messages were sent without
charge. For a whole year the plan was
tried. and was failure; costing nothing,
the whole scheme was viewed with sus-
pieion. The use Of the chimneys to bear
the wires was objected to in more than
one case by house owners. as 1.-THE weight
on the wires when messages were pass
ing might injure the bricks" But as soon
as toll for the transmission OF dispatches
was asked the business picked up. and
In a short time the new method of COM
munication was very much in favor.

the bearings. If excessive wear or cutting action is occurring it may be detected by the feel and appearance of the oil when rubbed gently be- tween the fingertips. Under such circumstances the fine metallic par ticles may be detected very readily, while if bronze bushings are used the abraded metal will impart to the oil a characteristic bronze color that is unmistakable Unless the rejected oil is reasonably free from dirt other than carbon it is good plan to make thorough inspection of all bear ings for play, thus locating the diff culty before damage is done. z
 Too many owners of cars, and es- peciaIly men who drive their own ma chimes. are apt tos neglect the four joints of the steering gear. The joint in question are the two ball joints of the steering rod and the two plain joints of the cross coupling rod. AL though leather cases are so easily made and so cheaply bought, many owners allow their cars to be driven about with these four joints exposed to mud and dust. On the other hand, some seem to think that if they put leather covers over the joints they can then neglect them for a year or so. as long as they had the covers hacked with grease before they were put on. This is a mistake unless out side means of fabrication are provided and even then 1t is advisable to re- move the covers and to examine the joints occasionally.

MISSING PAY TURNS UP
Nearly s, 500 Found in Unlocked Safe of Baggage Car at
 SaybroOk.

saybrook, Conn. Aug. 2o.-The mys- terious disappearance of a package containing between g, 400 and g, 500, the payroll of the men employed by Hol- brook. Cabot & Rollins of Boston on the approach to a new bridge being constructed over the Connecticut River at this place. was cleared up late yes terday. when the missing package was found in the safe of the baggage car at New London. from which it evil dentIy never had been taken.
 The package of money. which was supposed to have been stolen from a baggage truck at the local station. was found by Messenger Norback when he went to use the safe late in the after noon. The safe had been unlocked all night and day as the car stood in the New London freight yards.
 The police of nearby cities had been notified of the missing package. which was made up of individual pay en- velopes containing sixty-four bills of two-dollar denomination.

his view is evidently correct.

his view is evidently correct
 It now appears, according to the New York Tribune, that the action of the State committee in rejecting Roosevelt and naming Sherman for temporary chairman of the State con- ventton, was of the snap" type. Knowledge of the proposed action was kept quiet, and the belief that nothing of importance would be taken up at the committees meeting, kept three Roosevelt members away and induced others to send proxies. The managers of the scheme, says the Tribune, "chose a chairman on Tuesday because they feared that if 1t became known that Colonel Roose- welt was ready to serve in that ca pacity public sentiment would com pei his selection next month"
 If the ''regulars'' thought to squelch Rooseveltism by such trick cry, they overshot the mark. AS the Hartford Courant puts it, eff the cabal in New York politics wanted to  push Roosevelt to the front, then they handled the job like masters; if they wanted to bury him, then they handled 1t like blacksmiths." They have given him additional popularity, and it may easily be that they have made him a potential possibility for 1912.
 President Taft's chances for re- nomination are not bettered, but very materially lessened, by this New York event which apparently had his sanction. 1t places him / as an enemy of Roosevelt and the Roose- welt policies, and marks him down as an exceedingly unskined political strategist.

OBEDIENCE TO CAUCUS
 MAY RE-ETIECT {

MIA N ObANNON
 Conxressman Longworth of Ohio, who is a son-in-law of Ex-President Roosevelt, has put out formal statement, in which he announces hat he shall oppose MT. Cannon's -sleczon as Speaker, but will do so only in the Republican caucas-that Is. he will not If Cannon should win .n the caucus, oppose his reelection oy the House. As MT. Longworth ssued the above statement from the Federal summer capital, and as he had been in conference with Prssi- aent Taft, it is a legitimaee inference that he did so with at least the con- sent of the President. The an- nouncement serves, therefore, as a notification to Republican Congress sional eana5daAss that they are at full liberty to disavow Cannonism in the campaign and to vote against Can non in the House cancus, but that they must obey it's decree and prac- tically dfsavow their anti-Cannon statements in the campaign and give their support to Cannonisns with all that it implies. It is a hard posi- uon in which MT. Longwoftfh ices himself and them, with the evident consent of President Taft. Can any man of any real self-respect, who be- lieves honestly that Cannonism is wrong, thus stultify himself?
 Speaker Cannon is not moved by MT. Longworth's statement to with draw his candidacy. He merely asks that Republican Representatives attend tho House caucus, and obey its decree. It is his evident belief that the '.regulars' will control the cau- GUS, and that it will renominate him, at the command of the great inter ests' which have always stood behind him, which contribute heavily to Re publican campaign funds, and for the promotion of whose projects or the shelving of reform measures he has always packed the House commit tees.
 We are compelled to belief that unless there is a great popular up- rising at the November elections, Cannon will be reelected to the Speakership, and that the principle of obedience to the caucus laid down h$ Mr. Longworth, will be the turn ing point of the contest. In effect, that principle compels men, to sup port the wrong, knowing it to be such.
