up by number OF senator's ON both

During Senator Borah'a speech he
was taken to task by Senator Aldrleh
for quoting from the Das Moines
speech Of President Taft to show the
president thought rate increases

WASHINGTON, d. C., May 25.--
A republican caucus will be held to-
night but the insurgents will not
attend The caucus is to be held for
the purpose OF obtaining a line on
how they shall stand on the post
Office bill. recently presented by the
house committee on postoffices. The
post roads feature of the bill Is to be
reconstructed and as 1t now stands 1t
has only the formation of postal
savings bank and is unlike the recent
bill adopted by the senate. and
there are also the government and
bank depository clauses.
1t was learned today that the in
surgents desire to keep Speaker

sion Is ended, so that they can use
him as an issue during the coming
fall elections Cannon has been the
issue before in congressional cleo
tions. but possibly never In exactly
the same position as he Is now. This
knowledge IL making the republican
regulars very uncomfortable. The
insurgents expect that Roosevelt viii

seem to have assurances that he
will.

FLY FROM ALBANY
TO new YORK
Glenn HI. Curtiss VIII Attempt Feat
For Ten Thousand Dollar
Cash Prize.

New York, May 25.-Glenn H.
Curtiss will attempt the most ambi-
tious fight over the water ever yet
essayed in an aeroplane. Under the
terms of competition offered by the
New York World he will try to fly
down the Hudson river valley from
Albany to New York with one stop
For the last six months Curtiss
has been maneuvering for the prize
of $4,000 offered by the World. Re
Gently he has been conducting ex-
periments to determine the ability OF
his latest model to light on the water
and float without upsetting. These
tests are in themselves unique, for
although aviators have alighted on
the water it has never been by de-
sign,
Equipped With Life Buoys.
Without alright compartments to
sustain the aeroplane upon the water,
Curtiss believes he could fly from AL
bany to New York in one lap. AS a
safeguard against accident, however,
he has felt 1t necessary to equip
himself with life buoys, and the
weight of the buoys necessarily de-
ducts from his available supply of
gasoline.
Curtiss will probably start from
Albany about O'Clock Thursday
morning II weather conditions favor.
He expects to break his flight some
where near Poughkeepsie. The dis
lance by railroad is 142 miles, but it
is estimated that allowing for cut
offs across bends of the river, 1875
miles will be a more accurate meas
urement of Curtiss' fight. The long
est cross-country flight officially rec
orded is 125 miles, made by Paulhan
on April 8. 1910, from Orleans to
Arcis-sur-Aube
In his flight from London to Man
chester, distance of 185 miles, Paul
han flew from Hampstead heath, Lon
don to Litchfield, lit miles, in the
first leg of his journey. He finished
with spin of 6S miles the next
morning.

The machine Curtiss will use in his
present attempt carries an eight
cylinder motor developing 50-horse
power. and has wing spread which
Curtiss says is less than one-half that
of any other biplane now in use.

DAY OF AToNE,IENT.

The great Day of Atonemcnt, Yom
: Kippur. began at sunset last night.
Wednesday, and viii be observed until
sunset this evening, by orthodox Jews
IT Ia the great holiday OF the Mosaic
covenant But 1t Is n day, not OF re-
joicing but OF "affiiction of the soul. J"
1t IL. consequently. n day of fasting
and prayer. 1t is day OF repentance
and forgiveness and Of suppllcation
for a happy year for all mankind.
The ceremonies. as originally institute
ed, were very laborious. The High priest
: had to prepare himself for seven days
3 previously. in solitary confinement. dur
Ing which time he was to abstain from
everything unclean. On the Day Of
Atonomcnt he entered the sanctuary
into which no one else could enter.
There he burned incense, and sprlnkled
blood on the mercy and performed
various rites. On that day, the High
priest. In his pontiAcal robes. confessed
4 his own sins and those OF his family
and offered II sacrifice in atonement. On
that day two goats were brought before
the sanctuary. of which one was sacri-
feed and the other. bearing the sins
of the people were set free. Accord
Ing to Talnud both goats were to be
perfectly alike in color, size, and age.
On this day also the High priest gave
his blessing to the whole nation. After
I the public worship the day was spent
In prayers and works of penance.
The Jews have faithfully continued
the observance OF the day. though they
Z have no Sanctuary. and no Priesthood
to offer the sacrifices prescribed by the
law. But they will not always re-
main without these two essentials Of
the Mosaic services Their land viii be
restored to them. They Will build IL
Sanctuary. Through urlm and thum-
min the lineage of the Priesthood will
ngain be revealed. And then shall come,
! suddenly 'the Lord whom We seek"
even the messenger OF the covenant,
whom We delight In: behold he shall
come saith the Lord OF Hosts." The
messenger has already come to prepare
tho way. .'Thcn shall the Offering OF
Judah and Jerusalem be pleasant unto
j the Lord. as In tho days OF old, and
us in former years" (Mal. 3: LAD

this crop will bring more money than
larger ones in recent years have
brought, being worth ut present market

million dollars for one crop from one

not so bad, but here comes another
crop, bringing, II Is estimated by Sep

NOT DUE TO 4 SYSTEM,

The recent action OF the Mormon
Church against members who contract
.polygamous marriages shows that the
Saints IRE conforming. as an organza-
ton, to the State law and the Manifesto
of the late President Woodruff The
younger men and particularly the
younger women of the Church, are said
to be in close accord with the mono
gamous rule. and It is likely that be-
fore many years the system of plural
marriages will become nero remin-
iscence along with the system which
produced the Dantes and tho Mountain
Meadow AFFAIR" says the San Francisco
Chronicle.
To which we beg to remark that it Is
perfectly true that tho Church Is con-
forming to the law and the Manifesto,
but 1t Is not true that there ever was q

"danites'' and the Mountain Meadow

only under Western conditions at that

of which every Western state, Califor-

CONFUSION GOVERNMENT.
Pueblo Chieftain.

Opponents of tho commission plan Of
government keep saying that 1t Is only
an experiment. and that 1t would be
well for Pueblot to walt until the expert
ment has been tried by more cities and
for n longer time. 1t is true that the
commission plan Is comparatively new.
and in a way It Is experimental but tho
opinion is well night universal among
those that desire good government that
the plan Is u success. The cities that
have the genuine commission govern
ment have no desire to go back to the
old plan. There Is an ever increasing
number of cities that are adopting the
commission plan as a relief from the In
tolernble burdens and abuses of the old
plan of government by political ma
chine. And the objections to the COM
mission plan, in It's practical working,
seem to. be based. not upon the intrinsic
and essential features of the commits
sion plan, but upon various rnodifica-
tons and freak features introduced by
those Interested in continuing the evils
Of the old system.
