HERE 10 RlcAEsr PLAY
or the WHOLE SERIES


CHICAGO. Oct. a. Especially
The richest play Of the whole
series was pulled by Collins In
saturdays contest. When the
Cubs began hitting Bender In
the late innings Collins stood
near second base and instructed
Ira Thomas what to ask Bender
to throw. Collins wigwagged In
the deaf and dumb alphabet
while Cub after Cub hlinked It
the plate, watched Collins, and
knew nothing about what was
coming of. II was laughable u
see the Cubs wondering what
Collins said. yet he worked the
finger-talk openly and In their

SAYS lie CAN SEE AROUND

ROCHESTER,, n. Y. April 16.-
THE invention which ! have made

that | can Visualize an object at a
distance of thousands Of miles. The
object can be seen with it's proper

and movements and will be equal to

the object itself cannot be felt with

Such is the remarkable claim
made by William Vincent Pruscina,
a young Italian living in this city.
Pruscino is not very communica-
tive about his invention so far as
going into details is concerned. At
present he viii deal only in general
tiles as to just what his device
really is. He fears that some one
will steal his invention. He was so
oppressed by the thought of such a
calamity that he even destroyed his
model after he had given a demon
stration for his own benefit. Now
he says he has received financial
support and he is engaged in recon
structing the model preparatory to
having it recorded at the patent
office.

"Teleyisualizer" is the name that
Pruscino has given his device.
While he will not tell anything
about its exact nature. he admits
that telegraph wires have to be
used and that persons. objects and

Progressive Tariff Reform.

Senator Cummins of Iowa repudiates
the idea that he and other insurgents
or "progressives" are seeking to form
or to lead a new party movement, as
earnestly as he resents the charge that
he belongs to the ranks of the demo
Gratis. He contends that the republi-
can party has been and should con-
tinue to be the party of progress, and
he is trying to keep it in the true path.
Before a chautadqua audience in Kan
sas he declared that under the lead of
Aldrich and Cannon the tariff was re-
vised without the slightest heed to
party pledges, and that he is not an in
surgent against the republican plat
form, but against men of the Cannon,
Aldrich stripe, men who are openly VIC
lating the pledges of the party and are
advancing the cause Of monopolistic
control of industry"
But the most interesting part of his
address was his statement of the pro-
gram of the "progressives, who are
the real republicans He says they Of

The first is knowledge of the cost of

well says there is good deal of sense
in this for those who hold the position
of progressive republicans" on the
tariff question. The Iowa senator said:

Fighting the oregon system.

report recently telegraphed from
Portland, Ore, states that some of the
republicans in that state are determin
ed to fight the Oregon system''-mean
! ing the system of popular government
included in the Oregon laws providing
for the initiative, referendum and re
call, corrupt practice act, direct nom
nations and the popular election OF
United States senators.
This is not surprising The coterie
who head the revolt, the Chicago Elk
aminer says, is known as the assem-
bly, gang''-gentlemen who are closely
| connected with the legislature as mem
bers or lobbyists, and, naturally, they
regret the good old times when Oregon
scions were able to cash their dreams"
and their votesi
Their only complaint of the system
seems to be that it is destructive to
the republican party as an organiza-
ton. This must be taken with a grain
of salt. Two years ago the republican
party obtained plurality for President
Taft of over $4,000, which was con-
siderable advance over their normal
majorities.
What the gentlemen really mean is
that the Oregon system" has played
hob with the republican machine
And this is true. When the people
of Oregon in 1908 overwhelmingly
elected republican legislature and at
the same time imperatively directed
the solons TO choose for the United
States senate a highly popular demo
crat, Charles E. Chamberlain, it was a
rude jar to the machine and one that
clearly indicated that the people could
easily pass party lines for the sake of
public good!
1t is healthy condition. Direct leg
islation does not dissolve political par
ties which are cry5tallized around live
questions. Theories of government
have always divided the people into
political parties, and, in a republic, al
ways will.
But direct legislation does play the
mischief with party machines. The boss
loses his avocation-the ballot comes
into its own,
And this is an excellent reason why
Illinois should follow Oregon on hurry
ing feet. If there is to be found any
where state that has long been ruled
by scandalous, corrupt jackpot ma
chimes until the whole nation stands
aghast at its political condition-that
state is Illinois!

Taft Won't Interfere.

The new railroad rate law will not
be used to keep down railroad rates.
Correspondents at the summer cap
ital at Beverly, Mass, recently got
this news. 1t means that the strong
est feature of the new railway law is
to be deadletter under the Taft adj
ministration.
The section OF law referred to is
that giving power to the interstate
commerce commission, on complaint
against an increase, to suspend any
freight rate for IL months pending
decision as to the Justice of the rate.
This section was forced into the law
by the democrats and insurgents and
was strongly opposed by President
Taft and the Aldrich-Cannon regu-
lars.
Being hostile to this feature of the
new law. President Taft will not use
it to prevent the railroads from in
creasing their rates.
