to take up his work with the Civic
Federation. The United Mine Work
ers' organization never has been en-
tirely free of factions, and Lewis, as
did Mitchell before him, has had tt
fight continually against enemies i1
his own camp. But in the walk-out oil
April 1, he had practically complete
support from his own men and was
never better prepared to carry on a
fight against the operators.
Mr.. Lewis has taken an optimistic
view of the situation. In an address
to 5000 miners at Belleville, ILL.,, the
day the strike began he said:
Don't be alarmed over the outcome
OF this affair; don't,b be afraid that we
will not be able to sign up an agree
ment.. It will all be over within thirty
days. Anyhow, this is good fishing

Of necessity, to carry the ship up

direct gasoline power. 1t will be by
electricity generated by a gasoline
engine combined with a dynamo.
Danger of collapse or other acci
dent with my ship will thus be re-
duced to minimum. The gas cham.

weight deemed necessary, but it will

Count Zeppelin is certainly to be
congratulated on his success, but ex

lieve I would have beaten him in the

the idea in advance of him.
Howard's inventive genius has not
stopped with his dirigible aeroplane
He is preparing plans for an aero
plane somewhat on the lines of the
Wright and Farnam biplanes. A pre-.
ltminary model has already been pre-.
pared. Not much attention was paid
to the models at first, but Howard
stuck to his work, devoting most OF
his time to his dirigible, the problem
he started to solve long before air
ships were seriously discussed in this
country or Europe.
Howard has been an inmate of the
prison since March, 1907, following his
conviction for robbing the residence
of E. T. Swobe, manager of the Ma.
tional Fidelity Company Of Omaha
Before his conviction he invented q
cigar-making machine which he sold
to he American Tobacco Company
for $4,000.
A mail box lock, invented by him
had been favorably reported by the
government. Locks had played an
important part in Howard's troubles
and successes. The charge of his
picking one and entering the Swobe
residence and making away with
several hundred dollars worth of
silverware, led to his being sent to
prison.

Boat Driven by Waves.

There is a boat, of Italian invention,
whose motive power is supplied solely
by the action of waves. Elastic floats,
submerged short distance, are at
tached to the stern or bow of the boat
One end of the float is left free to
bend up and down with the impulse of
the water. The result Of the action of
the waves is to drive the boat in d.
rection away from the free end of the
floats. The speed is two or three miles
an hour. The motion of the boat is in
dependent Of the direction Of the
waves, and can be across or against
as we'll as with the Wind The in
ventor received his inspiration from
his study of the motions of fishes, and
he regards the action of the elastic
floats as resembling that of a fsh's
tail.

oid-Time Election Tricks,

Soldiers have been used to provide
artificial majorities in English cleo
tions. IL 1884, 280 of the guards were
sent to vote as householders against
Fox in the Westminster election Upon
that occasion the device failed, but it
succeeded in an Irish election. The

Mayor Mathis Tells What Has Been
Done for the City in Last
Two Years - Politics
Eliminated.

Des Moines, Ia-This city on April 1
concluded its first two years under the
commission form of government known
as the Des Moines plan. The Des
Molnes plan has been pronounced by
municipal experts and magazine wri-
ters who have visited the city and have
made special studies of conditions as
the ideal form of city government.
This does not mean that there are not
details that could not be improved
seems to hold good.
In Des Moines the city council con-
slsts of mayor and four councilmen.
These are elected at large. The ward
lines were abolished when the city
adopted the new form of government
two years ago. The primaries are held
two weeks before the city election and
two candidates for mayor and eight for
councilmen are selected. Two weeks
later the people vote again, electing
the mayor and four councilmen. The
mayor receives a salary of $500 a

The mayor exercises general super
vision over all departments. The coun-
cilmen are assigned as follows: One in
charge Of the department of public
safety, which includes police and fire;
another is superintendent of accounts
and finances; third is superintendent
OF streets and public improvements;
the fourth Is superintendent of parks
and public grounds.
The Des Moines plan provides for a
referendum of measures important to-
the people. 1t also provides the recall,
by means of which the voters can, un-
der certain conditions, recall any
councilman or the mayor if he does not

FEET NOT EQUAL TO FEAT
Miss Eleanor Sears, Boston Society
Girl, Fails in Attempt to Walk
1903 Miles.

San Francisco.-Even the athletic
muscles of Miss Eleanor Sears of Bos-
ton were not equal to the task of
walking 108 miles from Burlingame to
Del Monte in IS hours. She lost her
wager of 5000 at Gilroy, Cal, when
she gave up the tramp and went to
bed after having Travelled sc miles in
20 hours.
Miss Sears is somewhat chagrined
at having lost to her friend, Miss Jen-
ME Crocker, and declares that with a
little preliminary training she could
easily make the trip.
The friends who accompanied her
on the walk in comfortable automo-
biles and on easy running cycles
praise her pluck and the spirit which

cannot be proved beyond a doubt, but
her husband must have been convinced
of the fact.
Thomas Phillip was a farmer and
lived In East Fork township many
years ago. He had more than the av-
erage amount of intelligence and
passed much of his time reading the
high grade books and magazines of the
day
Many of his neighbors declared he
had peculiar ways, and the women
seemed to be of the opinion that his
wife did not know much about the do
nestle side of life.
She was advised to do this and to
10 that.
Her neighbors were all fond of
ler'-this they exhibited by their care
tul solicitation as to everything she
lid, everything she wore, everywhere
she went, and everybody she was seen
talking to.
When Mrs. Smith called in the after
noon she never failed to tell Mrs. Phil
lip how much better that blue gown
would have looked if she had only
trimmed it in white instead of black;
When Mrs. Brown and her husband
came over to supper the host was in
formed how much more delicious the
coffee woulL have been if it had been
allowed to boil just a speck longer.
Living about in the center of the
settlement Mrs. Phillip was the recip.
lent of all the gossip in the neighbor-
hood-and she just had to listen to it
all, whether she wanted to or not.
Those were only little milestones
IN the life which Mrs. Phillips neigh.
bors led her.
One day she took sick and died
from nervous prostration within a
short time. Her husband claimed all
this volunteer advice had worried her
into sickness.
After she was buried he caused the
tombstone with the above inscription
to be placed at the head of her grave
He Is buried beside her.

Mrs. John Vance Cheney Leader
in New Movement.
international League Of Right Think

Helping Others.

Chicago.-1t has been said that 150,-
100000 persons, aside from those con-
nected with the Christian Science
church, are making inquiries or are
directly interested in some advanced
or New Thought movement. Among
the many leaders of Advanced
Thought probably no one is better
known than Mrs. John Vance Che
ney, both through her personal in
struction in classes and through her
books. A certain minister has said
that two books in this line he con-

Cheney, and DR.. Worcester's "Religion

Recently Mrs. Cheney has estab-

organization known as the Information.
al League of Right Thinking and Right
Living, and centers have been started
In Montclair, Great Darlington, Bing-
hamton, Toronto, Denver, San Fran
cisco and many other places.
In explaining the work of the league
Mrs. Cheney said:
Our aim is to reach the dead class
of workers who never rise above the
sordid conditions of daily drudgery.
Our method is to re-educate. Legisla-
ton or force cannot change or
strengthen social or moral conditions,
the inspiration must come from with
in, so We try to begin at the beginning,
following the Injunction of Solon,
Know thyself,' and we believe that for
the first time in history we have de-
veloped a technique of self-knowledge.
We turn the attention of members to
the fact that mind is the power that
has done all things, that the dominion
it has gained over the elements and
external conditions it can gain over
itself
We teach that the source of han
piness is in serving, in helping others.
We believe that the greatest helm
comes from self-knowledge, self-con-
troll. which enables us to be at our
best in our contact with the world
AS our members gain this self f-knowl-
edge they go out as teachers and give
what they have learned to others who
have had fewer opportunities.
In the point of health we recognize
and use the powers of the mind to
control the soundness of the BODY:
where it is necessary we exercise the
power OF healing. but all our work is
simply a training of the individual in
self-knowledge.

the first commission, Mayor Mathis
was Democrat, while the four coun-
cilmen were Republicans
Mayor A. T. Mathis has written the
following statement of the work of the
commissions:
"Of all the accomplishments coming
as the direct result of the adoption of
the Des Moines plan, the greatest is
the constant public interest in the
work of the council. This is a tangible
asset and the basis of all that has been
done. This accomplishment should be
attributed to the Des Moines plan be-
cause it is essentially system of gov
ernment with the charm of novelty in
it's workings. There was previously no
public. interest save that inspired by
property interests and politics. Next in
Importance is changed press, which
in an improved degree tells what is
going on at the city hall. The press
and the public lean on each other, and
the council is thus inspired. The Des
Moines plan is responsible.
"The council has accomplished a
great deal as the result of the support
on the part of the people and the news
papers. Matters of great public inter-
est are not permitted to lag. There is
no disposition on the part of any mem
ber of the council to conduct any ne
gotiation with selfish considerations
for the advantage Of either himself or
others. In other words the members
put all matters on basis of the great
est good to the greatest number. There
is attention to matters of all degrees
of Importance by all city employees, an
attention not given when the public
and newspapers were less exacting and
cooperative. -
"Outside Of some of the big concrete
instances of accomplishments, to me
there is no better sign of improvement
than the diligence displayed by en-
ployes in taking care of multitudinous
tasks of routine nature. 1t was negli-
gence in this respect that brought the
old form of government into disrepute,
and the correction is the best sign that
the new plan is a success

fshed.

simplifying the legal department in it's

bad practice of employing extra law

 PHOENIX, Ariz., Sept. 12. - The Democrats will write the Constitution of Arizona.
 In the election toda yto the Con- stitutional convention they won, ac- cording to fairly complete returns, 2s out of the 52 delegates, and the official canvass will probably in crease this to 36, and possibly more.
 If the platform campaign pledges are carried out, the Constitution will be short so as to find favor in Washington, and will establish the initiative and referendum, the re- call, the direct election of Senators, the direct primary and ballot prob ably such as will require a knowledge of English. Prohibition and woman's suffrage may be fought out on the floor as amendments to the popular vote.
 The most populous sections, accord ing to the returns, will be represent ed by solid Democratic delegations, with the possible exception of Gila, where the vote of the Labor party is large enough to place the result in doubt. In any event, the Repub licans were beaten, for it is expect ed that any Labor candidates will work with the Democrats.
 The result by counties is that Mar ieopa has Democrats, Cochise 10, Graham ,, Yuma 3, Pinal ?. They won five out of six in Yavapai, one out of two in Navajo. Mohave's one delegate will probably be Democratic, while the one from Santa Cruz will probably be Republican. The Repub- lieans carried Pima with 5, Coconino ?, and one each in Navajo and Yava- pal. Bisbee, the principal city of Coehise, gave the Republicans a small but this was overcome by the outside precincts, and ten Demo- erats were elected by majority ranging from 75 to 100.

 Tucson boiled a large Republican vote, the largest for a Republican candidate being 299 and the smallest 209. The Labor party cast 356 votes and the Socialists 55.

 PORTLAND, Me, Sept. 12.-There is no uncertainty in the voice with which Maine records its preference for governor or its attitude in the is sues of the campaign. The plurality of Frederick W. Plaisted, Democrat, is deeisively large, while three or four Congressional districts, which ordinarily were strongly Republican, have turned Democratic.
 Early returns indicate the legisla- ture may be Democratic that will elect the successor to Senator Hale.
 In the face of the sweeping victory the Republicans are overwhelmed with surprise. It is the first Democratic victory in thirty years.
 It is a peculiar coincidence that Harris NJ. Plaisted, father of the present Democratic candidate for gov ernor of Maine, was the last Demo cratic governor in 1881.
