OF the Cullom leaders are anxious to
join the movement, provided this
can be accomplished without injur-

Expect Cullom to Join.
The response which followed the
launching of the state progressive
movement is said by the leaders to
have established that the federalele-
ment has concluded that if the old
standpats remain aloof from the
new movement and oppose it in any
way, the result will be to increase
factional bitterness and enhance
the chances of victory for the Demo
Gratis.
These indications of sentimen'
have led several of the leaders In thu

A unique controversy is raging
here as the result Of the attempt Of
local Investigators to classify out
door summer sports in the order of
the number of presentations which
each individual incites, to the end
that growing children may be protec-
ted from those calculated to ruin a
reputation for veracity. Unfortu-
nately' the investigators have been
unable to agree as to which sport or
pastime causes the most lies and
hence the controversy. The opinion
is unanimous that tennis causes the
| least. Next in order the investiga-
tors have placed shooting, followed
by sailing and walking, of which II
| Is obvious that none offer an attrac.
tive field for the man with an elastic
imagination. From this point on
however the investigators have
created dssention, since they enc
the list with golfing, camping ant
fishing. AS a result campers ant
IangIers are UP in arms and loud II
their assertion that the golf liar il
not only the greatest in The worlt
but the most stupid even excellinl
the automobile liar who boasts o
what his car can do and how man,
miles he can run on gallon OF gas
oline. 1t does not seem probabl
that the discussion will be easily de
Ieided even If the Mayor does appoin
r. committee TO investigate the mat
ter for the benefit of the public play
grounds. But the majority OF tn
|. investigators agree that If the lov
, of truth Is to be cultivated in tn
growing child his sports should b
limited to tennis, canoeing an
shooting.

Ney York, July 2S--That mechan-

come q more important factor than
the Hague Peace Tribunal in the
elimination of war is tho most sig
nificant feature of the offer of To-
cal inventor TO sell to the govern
meut secret process by which it is
claimed fogs can be produced when
ever and wherever wanted. The
idea originated along agricultural
lines as the result of an effort to pro-
tect growing crops from the sun dur
ing dry periods, and to supply them
with moisture. 1t developed, how
ever, that while the fogs might be
used to blot out the sunlight the
moisture which they contained
would be of little or no value as Q
substitute for rain. II was then that
the value in ease of war Of iogs
which could be produced at will be-
came apparent. The squadron of al
enemy once enyeloped by one o.
these artificial foss would be practi'
cally helpless and at the mercy Of
the torpedo boats. while even on lant
fog-bound army would be greatly
hampered. While the process b.
which the fogs are produced has no
vet been proven on large scale, th'
possibilities are apparent and 1t ma,
be that the idea at first considered
as a purely defensive war measure
may yet result in making both liant
and naval battles impossible.

nevertheless watch closely the OPP
Grafton Of these institutions now
that they are TO be opened in this

there is much speculation as to the
extent to which they will be patron
tied, New Workers are known as
savers but wether they will switch
their deposits from their present res
ting places is something that only
time can prove. The fact that the
postoffice now shows a surplus is an
important factor. even though as the
railroads claim, the basis on which
the government pays them for haul
ing mails around the country is UNI
fair and insufficient, claim which
they back up with every report of
the department to the effect that
more than one-quarter Of the roads
investigated in this connection were
being underpaid by Uncle Sam. I'M
doubtedly Congress will now be cal
led upon to readjust the scale OF pay
and particularly for a reimbursement
of the present Anticipated system OF
mail weighing which now takes place
only once in four years leaving the
burden Of the increase on the car
riers. The fact that the post office
now shows a surpluss however, in
stead of deficit. should prove po-
tent force in the future here of the
postal savings banks, since deposits
are much more likely to come to q
business which Is not losing money
even If that business is backed by
Uncle Sam.

AT THE PRINCESS.

There are several novelties on the bin at the Princess the last half oi the week and three of the acts dem onstrated that they are worthy to headline any vaudeville bill. no ma, ter how many stellar attractions ma; be on the same.
 The revolving ladder acts offered by Aldro and Mitchell is unlike any. thing ever seen in vaudeville in this city The la,der Is placed many feet from the ground. and these two artists present a revolving specialty and feats of strength that surprised and delighted the large audience There is rather humorous comedy feature in connection with this act which is remarkable one in every sense of the word.
 For genuine harmony and muslca success 1t would have been harl to equal the act offered by Esmeralda aad ptaz. Their pre1entat,'n of Spanish melodies was unique and they dressed their act with all the taste fitness characteristic of the Trobuaboures of Spain.
 The Stewart Sisters and their es corts also realized all the excellent advance notices that have been print cd about them. Here is a lanoinp
 speciality, the like of which has nev er before been seen in Hot Springs This act is classy In the extreme ani f is eostumed in a rich manner. Tn, various members of the act make seven different changes of costume and their dancing has never been surpassed on ihe Princess stage. The mimic poker game elicited a hearty round of laughter and applause.
 Kitty Ross also offered novets and when she appeared proved to be q picture in costume of green. Her act Is different from that presented by eomedlennes and her impersona tion of gentlemen Of color was true to life. Miss Ross, however, should sing a few more verses or her encore song, as 1t was the hit of her act
 The Olympic Trio offered a trapeze act that was won!er. in the routin, they presented. These young men are trained athletes and their feature is different from anything acrobat, Iacts have heretofore shown. The en- tire bill is an exceptionally strong one ani will compare favorably with Iany that have gone before.
