President Taft Doubt ess merits
congratulations on the way he and
the roads worked out of bad stu
alton, but there is a large fly in the
ointment. The antitrust law still
stands, and in the presidents opin-
ion applies against the roads in
making common rates for Compel
ing points; and his agreement with
the roads admits on their part a
continuation of such alleged un-
lawful action and-evidently on
this part suspension of the law on
this application which congress,
against his request, had deliberate
ly refused to suspend. And where
does the president acquire author
ity to do such thing as this?-

FRICTION

What is friction really caused by?
Why will two things in contact not
slip over each other easily? 1t is
because every substance known to
science has teeth; microscopic, it is
true, but still teeth. The result,
then, is obvious. If we shove a
book across a table the teeth of TIE
book interlock with the teeth of the
table just as cogwheels do. and the
push has to be strong enough either
to bend them enough to break them
off for the motion to continue.
It has actually been observed in a
microscope that if the push is only
a slight one and moves the book
only short distance, on the pressure
of the hand being removed the book
actually jumps back to its former
position. This action is a slight
bending of the two sets of teeth,
only not far enough for them to
lose their relative positions, and
their elasticity on being releaed
makes the book fly back.
1t has been shown that this friction
is not so much between different
bodies of the same material. One
industrial application of this is the
bearings for steel axles.
In some things we want as much
fir ction as possible and in others as
little. The former is illustrated in
the friction between an engine
wheel and the track. sand sometimes
being poured on the track to in
crease the friction. The latter
case is illustrated in all bearings
where rotating metal is in contact
with stationary metal, some times
ball bearings being substituted, thus
lessening the friction.
Many peculiar things would hap
pen if there was no friction. All
screws in wood would Immediately
twist backward rapidly and shoot
out into the air; trains could not
run save on cogged rails, which
would probably be necessary above
as we'll as below, thus having four
rails instead of two; buildings would
tumble down, and new ones could
not be built unless nodded in place
like Edison's or riveted together.
People would have to wear shoes
with long spikes in them and then
have to be careful, for dirt grains
would slip over one another easily
and would act like deep sand. But
one great thing would happen
machinery would run at 100 per
cent efficiency, would give out as
much energy as was put into them

free"
. Whence came the men who signed
this Declaration? In what school
of politics or philosophy did they
learn these great truths? Who
taught them the science of political
government? From what loyal line
of lawgivers did they spring? Un-
skilled in the diplomacy and craft
that control cabinets and. govern
empires, they were the people raised
up by an all wise Providence to
overcome the obstacles and grapple
with the dangers that threatend
their liberties
From the earliest struggles for
the freedom of mankind to the days
of Thomas Jefferson the men who in
the halls of debate or on the field
of battle have been the eloquent
advocates of human rights or the
bold defenders of human liberty
have sprung from the ranks of the
people
Fellow citizens, the calm dignity
with which this Revolution was
inaugurated, the ties of allegiance
sundered, the solemn declaration
made that henceforth these colonies
were to be free and independent
states and the solemn appeal of the
representatives of the people to
posterity for the rectitude of their
intentions is one of the grandest
and most imposing events in history.
When in all time have any other
people inaugurated revolution and
confronted death with with such
fearless dignity? No bravado or
violence. marred the granduer of
this great act, but calm recitals
of wrongs and expressions is fol-
lowed by the decisive step and the
solemn appeal to the Supreme Judge
of the world.
How striking the contrast with
other nations when in the throes of
revolution! The history of the re-
bellion in England which preceded
the commonwealth is married by the
violent disruption of the parliament
and the execution of CharlesI. The
oppression and wrongs of the French
people at the close of the eighteenth
century eliminated in the scenes of
violence that caused Paris to run
with blood, and the mob that ruled
the hour threw down at the foot of
the throne the head Of a king as
its gage of battle.

TRIBUTE TO THE SIGNERS

Although the Fourth of July has
passed, the following tribute to
the signers of the Declaration of
Independence, from an address by
Ex-Vice President AdlaizzE. Steven
son, is timely:
Let us turn for a moment to the
Continental congress assembled in
Independence hall in Philadelphia
on the Fourth day of July, 1776.
One act of insult and oppression
upon the colonies had followed an
other in rapid succession until the
time had come when the representa-
tives of the colonies were to decide
in favor of abject submission to
tyranny or to resolve to sbe forever
free and Independent. Upon the
one side were the ties of country and
a common ancestry. upon the other
rebellion against the mother country
and the commencement of strug-
gle the end of which no man could
foretell; upon the one side unquali-
fled submission to the dogma of the
divine right of kings, "Iiupon the
other war with the greatest nation
of the globe, with independence as
the prize of victory and with defeat
as surely the forerunner of infamy
and death.
The men who signed this Dec
laration were not unmindful of
the grave responsibilities which
they assumed. 1t was no rash act
on their part. They we'll knew that
Great Britain would never permit
these colonies to be wrested from
her grasp without a struggle.
They well knew England with her
untold wealth, her powerful army
and a navy that made her mistress
of the seas, was foe to be respected
even by the strongest government
upon earth. To the ,imperishable
honor of the signers of this; Declara-
ton be it said that they did not
hesitate when the dread issues of
that hour were to be decided.
The gospel of universal liberty
had been proclaimed to the world.
For ages mankind had believed there
was "a divinity which does hedge
king" The world was now startled
from its lethargy by the declaration
that resistance to tyrants is obedi-
ence to God" The new gospel
proclaimed by the signers of the
Declaration of Independenceswas in
conflict with that by which the world
for generations had been governed.
Boldly and unequivocally it chal-
lenged the doctrine of the divine
right of kings. The barons of
England at the point of the sword
had wrested from an unwilling
tyrant that Magma Charta which for
ages had been the palladium of
English liberty. Again and again
during the long line of the pre-
decessors of George III. some darl-
ing of perogative of kingly power
had been grudgingly conceded to an
exasperated people. But these
were mere efforts to restrain within
bounds, not to destoy, thel one man
power.
Our Declaration of Independence
solemnly announced as a self evil
dent truth that all men are born
equal. 1t proclaims as the cardinal
