A simple way of breaking mass of
iron two feet square and four feet
long is to bore a perpendicular hole
one inch In diameter and between
three and four inches deep. If this is
fille.I with water and closed with an
acct rately fitting iron bolt one heavy
blow on the bolt will break the mass
Into two pieces.

The formation of the National
Progressive Republican League
in the fight between the insur-
gents and standpatters to control
the Republican party is exciting
considerable comm ent. The
President is said to be concerned
over the matter and to regard it
as an attempt to contest his re-
nomination in 1912. He is unde-
cided whether to appear indiffer-
ent to the League or to prepare
to oppose it's activities. The at
titude Of Theodore Roosevelt to-
ward the League is also causing
much speculation. From his ut
terances in print and on the plat
form, he is thought to be entirely
in accord with the principles of
the new organization, but wheth-
er he endorses it's reported in
tention of urging the nomination
of Senator Lat'ollette for presl-
dent is a decided question. The
principles of the League are
brief. 1t aims to restore govern
ment to the hands of the people;
to prevent corrupt use of money
in elections; to provide for popu-
lar election of senators; ; to secure
direct primaries; to simplify pres
idential elections; and to estab-
lish the initiative referendum
and recall. This enunciation OF
so-called Republican principles
sounds like a political platform
written by William Jennings Bry-
an, and demonstrates how much
political lines have been shifted
in recent years.

Has the Reaction Set In?
BY LEO.

1t was predicted that temper
ance legislation would have a
back-set, and the prediction
seems to have arrived. Indiana
has repealed her county option
law; Ohio is about to pass the
Dean bill; and even Maine seems
determined to modify or repeal
her prohibition system. Verify,
the fashion is changing.
What is the Dean law? 1t is
a measure to confer upon munic-
ipalities in dry counties the right
to vote on the question of saloons
or no saloons. AS it stands now
if the county goes dry every mu-
nicipality therein must go dry.
But if a county goes wet the cit
les and municipalities therein
may, by vote of the citizens, go
E dry. The Dean bill aims to make
it equal for both sides.
The temperance people will not
strenuously oppose the measure,
because it seems fair and just.
1t may not be as just as it seems,
but temperance people had bet
ter not appear to be unfair in
fighting against the saloon. Bet
ter lose in appearance than SEEM
ing to be tyrannical when we
have the power.
The Dean bill will probably
pass the legislature and Cover
nor Harmon will either sign it or
let it become a law without his
signature. He will not veto it
as some people predict. Har-
mon will have to show his hand,
and no matter what he may see
fit to do. he is bound to offend
one of the parties. Governor
Herrick was defeated because he
appeared to take sides with the
liquor interests; Harris went to
retirement because he signed the
county option law; and Governor
Harmon is bound to bear the illwill
of one party or the other. If he
will veto the bill the temperance
people will vote to send him up
higher, but the liquor people will
favor another candidate. Gov.
ernor Harmon may crawl out of
his predicament, but it will re-
quire some astuteness.
Should the Dean bill become a
law will it do harm to the tenn
perance cause? We think not.
It will shift the line of battle
somewhat. Instead of the coun-
ty, the municipalities will become
the battle-ground.
This will arouse the temper
ance people of the municipalities
to greater zeal and activity. We
shall see greater zeal for the sal
vation of the cities.
When the county of Darke
went dry we ventured to tell a
group Of temperance workers,
''Now your task will be greater
than before; because, hitherto
you have been fighting an enemy
in the open, but now you will
have to contend with an enemy
in secret places"
AS a matter of fact, very little
has been done for temperance
since the county went dry. Tenn

Politics, foreign relations and
ship subsidies seem to be strange
ly mixed in the new and great
American Idea" in which the
leaders of the Republican party
are seeking to interest President
Taft and the people of the Uni
ted States. This idea is to build
a railway through North, Cen
tral and South America, so it
will be possible to transport mer-
chandise by rail from this coun.
try as far as the Straits of Ma.
gellan, if desired. Politics are
involved in it because the lead
ers of the Republican party fee
that their recent disastrous de-
feat can be retrieved only by
some great project capable of fir

publican party seek to follow the
example of Bismarck, who, wher
the German Empire was tori
with internal dissensions, pre-
cipitated the Franco-Russian war
in order to take the eyes of the
German people from their troub-
les at home and direct them to-
ward foreign conquest. Foreign
relations are involved in the idea
because the apparent failure of
the favorite pluns of President
Taft and Secretary Knox to cap
ture the Far East as an American
market makes it necessary to
provide another outlet for Amer
ican manufactures. Ship subsi-
dies are involved because if A
merican products can be dIstrib-
uted throughout Central and
South America without ships,
the necessity for a subsidized
merchant marine will disappear.
The vastness of the undertaking
is realized, but the American
people are thought to be capable
of carrying it through.
This question of ship subsidies
is being agitated again before
Congress with the backing of
President Taft. 1t is insisted
that all American business which
appears on ships for the trans
portation of either its raw ma
terials or finished products is
paying to foreign ship owners a
tax or tribute greatly in excess
of tariff duties and that a con-
stant stream of revenue which
should remain in this country to
fill the arteries of commerce is
drawing off the other countries.
The project is encountering the
usual opposition.
