charge made against them is that they increase the expenses of run ming for office If this were true the remedy would be to limit the amount that candidates may spend in running for office. But the charge is not true. The election is as costly when the contest is to get the dele gates as when it is direct to the can didate- The present system is more costly The primary expenses have tb be paid, or are paid, and then the delegates have to be boarded, lodged and (sometimes) bought. Any per son who is fatuous enough to believe that no money is spent to get norai- nations and elections now is referred to the election account filed by the late Republican candidate for gover- nor, MT.

THE COTTON SCHEDULES.

Congressman Hill, who has already vigorously denounced the proposed rsdetiens in, wool tariffs now hotly de6o ounces2t the proposed reductions in cotton tariffs. The distinguished sage of Norwalk sees nothing but whole sale distaster to follow any .tamper- ink with the sacred schedules That po<1ion of the census investigation which deals with cotton manufactures seems to have escaped his attention, and especially that language in which thef Census Bureau states that the cd<1pny manafa eturers of the United States can produce their goods at less cost than manufacturers any where else in the world. Foreign cokfpn mills cannot compete with hone mills. but home mills can dis place products of foreign mills in the very countries where the foreign mills are located.

(Buffalo ConmerciaI.O

London dispatches indicate that the doom of the dreadnought has been sealed. It is reported that the Eng fish admiralty has at last been con- vinced that the increase in the size of the fighting ships of the navy, is undesirable.
 Sir Philip Watts, director of naval construction, has designed a new type of battleship, which, Whi;e embody- ing all the tactical qualities of the bigger ship, will be about 30 per cent smaller than the dreadnoughts now building. It is said that the new model will be followed in the Davy-yard construction of 1912-3
 A desirable increase in speed is anticipated for the new style ships, it being confidentially predicted that they will be able to make thirty-siN knots an hour, as again twenty one of the Orions, and thirty of the bat tleship now building on the Tyne. The new type ship will be neither cruiser nor battleship, but a com bination of the best features of each.
 Lord Charles Beresford has been opposed to the building of the enor- nous dreadnoughts from the first. He looks upon the new type of yes sel as far more practical and effec- tive. and says: Every day we live,

DANGEROUS NUISANCE
 MAINTAINED BY GREED.

z The Connecticut company is turn ing a deaf ear to the pleas of Con- necticut women for lower steps on the open cars. Admitting the diffi- culty of getting on and the danger of getting off, as we'll as the immense inconvenience and sometimes serious stress in either case, the trolley of ficials turn a polite but deaf ear to pleas for a remedy.
 We can't help it,'' they say; ''the running board must be high enough to clear obstructions, and it must be narrow enough to avoid being a menace to other users of the high way"
 All of which is sophistry. There is but one real reason why the high step problem is not solved, and that reason lies in the company's desire to carry passengers on the running board. With the running board clear of passengers, there are half a dozen devices which might be installed to permit passengers 10 step easily to the ground; but if the running board is to be used to carry passengers the installation of such devices is inn practicable.
 The carrying of passengers on run ming boards is in itself an extremely dangerous and reprehensible prac- tice, to say nothing of being highly passengers so called. In this case, corporate greed is shown in a parti- cularly ugly light, for the company is perpetuating one dangerous nuis- ance for the sole purpose of main taining a second one, and gleaning a few extra nickles thereby.

"SWAT THE FLY" Even Though It Damages the Fly Screen Industry and LesSsens
 Doctors Revenues

Doctors Revenues
 Washington, July 2S-If there is any slogan, any motto, that accurately ex- presses the feeling and attitude of the people during the summer months 1t is "swat the fly" All over the coun- try flies are flying and folks are swat ting them, while enthusiastic Boards of Trade and Chambers of Commerce are offering large sums to those who turn the greatest number of the dead pests.
 a But it remained for Dr. l.. O. How ard, chief of the Bureau of Entomol- ogy of the Department of Agriculture, to point out that there is at least one manufacture-the extent of which IS larger than is ordinarily imagined that will be severely injured if not to- tally destroyed if all the flies are swatted. It is the fly screen industry in which there is over $50,00o,000 in vested.
 According to pr. Howard, who has made a deep study of the subject, all this money could be saved if system atic f1y-swatting was engaged in all over the country.
 x Not to speak of saving through the decrease in doctors bills and the in finitely greater convenienceS and com- fort when these winged pests are done away with,'' the doctor added, 'Tsfie country will save an enormous amount of money every year by not having to buy fly screens. I have found that there is close to $50,000,000 invested in these f1y-preventers in this country to- day and the extermination of the fly will naturally mean the saving of just this amount within the next two or three years.'

ANCIENT HEALTH RULES.

Ravenna, July 2s.-An Italian anti quary has just disinterred from the archives of an ancient library here the original of the rules of hygiene issued by the court of Ravenna in 1590. Among the regulations are the following:
 we decree and order that, from June l until October l, none shall allow his pigs to stray in the public squares o5 inhabited streets of Ra- venna under penalty of fine of three sous.
 Pigs shall not be allowed to wan der in the churches or in the ceme- teries.
 "In order that the streets of Ra- venna may always be clean and the health of the town good, every house. holder is obliged to bring the refuse to his house to the front door on every Friday morning and leave it there. The street cleaners will then collect it and take it to a lonely spot. I"

WHEN IS AN AIRSEIP.


 Balloons are airships, but not in the. legal sense in this state, unless they are intended to carry passengers Balloons which are used by aeronauts and parachute jumpers simply for dISflay purpose do not have to be registered or licensed. This interest ing but not vitally important law has been determined by the attorney gen. eras respondins to an inquiry from the secretary 'ofE state. The new avia- ton law defines an air ship as "every kind of vehicle or structure in- tended for use as a means of trans porting goods or passengers in the afr" The driver of an airship is not passenger.

A NEW FIRE EXTINGUISHER.

Paris. July 2S.-A poor preacher. the Abbe D. Daney has invented a fire extinguisher which proved so ef- fective when exhibited before a com mittee of scientists at Paris that he has been decorated by the French government. Preacher Daney's par ish is at Joctoucan, a forest village on the sea near Bordeau. His parish was almost destroyed by fire in 1906 and since that time has been study ing means of saving his people in case of another fire.
 Abbe Daney, after being nine times injured in explosions in his labora- tory, twice so that his life was des- paired of, discovered a new salt by passing 5000 amperes of electricity through an electric furnace. While the mixture will extinguish flames better than any other known chemi- cal, delica te fabrics dipped in the solution are practically as fireproof as asbestos.
