ROOSEVELT URGES
REFORMS IN LAW
Colonel Lauds initiative, Referendum,
Recall and Popular Vote for
Senators.

Chicago. An immense audi
ence greeted ex-President Theodore
Roosevelt when he was introduced as
our foremost citizen" at the Auditor
ium theater, and the welcome given
him was probably as warm as he ever
before received.
After which, under the auspices of
the Union League club, he spoke on
"Nationalism and Democracy"
The colonel put his seal of APP
prevail upon the initiative and refer
endum, as well as upon the principle
of recall, and declared himself en-
phatically in favor of change in the
constitution which will permit the
election of senators by popular vote.
With regard to the three principles
mentioned, he averred that opponents
of the initiative, referendum and re-
call are wrong and that he believed
if the people of the United States
would make a study of those prin-
ciples in politics he had no doubt but
that they would become laws in every
state in the Union.
His utterances in this connection,
as well as with regard to the election
of senators by popular vote, were re-
ceived with wild cheering and hand
clapping.
"At the moment in New York. said
the colonel speaking of the matter Of
senatorial elections, I'VE are trying
the old system and we cannot elect
any senator at all And Illinois, last
| experiment in electing a senator, I'M
der the old system, was not perhaps
wholly a happy one. Let's apply the
same principle In the election of SEN
ators which we have applied from the
beginning to congressman and which
for nearly a century has been ap-
| piled to the president. Then, when
we elect senators ourselves, If we
don't get good ones we are to blame. :"

The Short-Ljved Pin.

By a series of experiments conduct
ed on his estate a French investigator
has discovered that pins go the way
OF all flesh and are resolved into dust.
Hairpins, which the eXperimenter
watched for 154 days, disappeared at
the end of that time, having been re
solved into a ferrous oxide, brownish
rust. which was blown away by the
wind
Bright pins took nearly Is months
to disappear; polished steel needles
nearly two years and a half, brass pins
had but little endurance, steel pens
at the end of Is months had nearly
gone. while their wooden holders were
still intact
Pencils, with which he also expert
mented. suffered little by exposure;
the lead was unframed, and the cedar
almost as good as new.

Man-CarrYinq Kites.

Man-carrying by kites was demon
strated for the first time in America
at the Boston-Harvard aviation meet
last September. There 1t was shown
that a man could be sent 200 feet in
the air supported by from six to IF
teen 1S-foot passenger-carrying kites.
The height to which man can rise Cup
to 1000 feet) by this method varies
according to the wind velocity. Army
officers present testified to the great
value of the man-carrying kite for
scouting purposes in time of war. 1t
is certainly a point in favor Of the
plan that such a kite is at its best
when the winds are so strong that
aviators dare not venture out with
their aeroplanes.
