ELIMINATING SPACE.

OF devices for the elimination OF
space there is no end. There can be
none, until the people stop progress
ing. Occasionally a project is pro-
posed of more than usual daring. The
particular prize for which the COM
mercial world is now striving is the
trade of South America, says the
Cleveland Plain Dealer. North Amer
lea and Europe each want the bulk
of 1t. The natural advantage which
this continent possesses has so far
pean aggressiveness. And now Eu-
rope proposes to cut in two the time
distance that separates her from the
object Of her commercial longing. 1t
is figured that five days are long
enough to transport European goods
to South American consumers. To
establish such a schedule involves en-
gineering and financial difficulties
which may, of course, finally prove
its impossibility. By reliable parties
the 'Ibero- Afro American railway is
proposed, first, to cross Spain to
Gibraltar, where ferry boats will
transport trains to the African coast;
thence run to BATHURST, the nearest
point to South America. From Bath
hurst to Pernambuco, Brazil, Is but a
three-day run for fast steamers. The
cost of carrying out this project,
daring as it seems, would be but
mere fraction of what the United
States alone is paying for the Pana-
ma canal. And a half dozen Euro
pean nations would be benefited by
1t. It seems by no means impossible.

HOUSE ADOPTS DIRECT VOTE
Approves 296 to 16 Constitutional
Amendment for Election of Sem
ators by the People.

Washington.-Elec of United
States senators by popular vote was
approved by the house of represent
atives by a vote of 296 to 16.
The constitutional amendment now
goes to the senate. Senator Borah,
who championed it in the last con-
gress when the resolution failed of
the necessary two-thirds majority by
a margin Of four votes, expressed the
belief that this time the senate will
give the measure half dozen more
than the necessary two-thirds and
speed it on it's way to adoption by
the requisite number of states.
The debate lasted six hours and
while spirited at all times, never
dropped into partisan channels.

IOWA DEADLOCK ENDS
w. S. KENYON IS ELECTED U. s.
SENATOR.
Succeeds Lafayette Young and Will
Be One of Youngest Members In
Upper House of Congress.

Des Moines, Law. S. Kenyon was
elected United States senator by the
Iowa legislature. Voting on senator
has been going on since January 49,,
and nearly 100 ballots have been taken.
Mr.. Kenyon is to succeed Lafayette
Young, editor of the Des Moines Cap
ital.
This action of the legislature ends a
deadlock which has existed since the
beginning of the session and is a VIC
tory for the progressives.
The election followed a stormy ses-
sion. Mr.. Kenyon received IS votes to
10 for Supreme Court Justice Horace
B. Deemer his Republican opponent,
the candidate of the 'stand-patters."
The deadlock has existed since Jan.
uary II, when the first ballot was ia
ken. At that time Senator Lafayette
Young, the present incumbent, was
the leading opponent of Mr.. Kenyon.
but was succeeded by Justice Deemer
on the twenty-third ballot, about six
weeks ago.

Since it has been decided to estab-
lish municipal baths for the million
at Coney island, other and ever more
ambitious plans for its improvement
have been formulated. These include
a continuous walk and drive along
the entire five miles of it's water
front, and a new bulkhead line, which
has been authorized by government
engineers. A contract has been let
for a rip-rap wall, forty feet thick
at its base and twenty feet at the
top, surmounted by a concrete walk
This will protect the island from
those periodic invasions by the At.
lantic which have frequently been
quite destructive. All of which is
expected to attract a higher average
of patronage than the resort has hith-
ertO enjoyed.

HILL TO QUIT BERLIN POST
Ambassador to Germany Tenders
Resignation and 1t Is Accepted
by Taft.

Washington.-One of the greatest
surprises of recent years in official
circles here was caused by the an
nouncement that David Jayne Hill Of
Rochester, N. Y, has resigned his
place as ambassador of the United
States to Germany.
The resignation was accepted
promptly by President Taft, but in
the formal letters given out there is
no intimation of the reasons for Mr..
Hills withdrawal. The cause is a
mystery.
In his letter accepting the resigna-
ton the president thanks Mr.. Hill
for his services at Berlin and says he
is glad to know that he will remain
there until July 1, when the resigna-
ton goes into effect.
Unconfirmed reports of friction be.
tween Mr. Hill and the state depart.
ment were in circulation.

for the last few hours being reduced

some of the exhibits are already re-

The county people have patronized

people have not The management
says that II the fair Is to be continued
1t must plainly make its main appeal
to the people of the county and de-
pend on them for support, as the town
people do not seem interested these

The officials of the fair feel that they
credit to both the city and county
and though they seem somewhat dis
couraged by the lack OF patronage on
the part of the city people, most Of
them are In favor of holding the fair
on an even larger scale next year.
The educational advantages OF such
a show are an especial feature, for 1t

WOODROW WILSON
SAYS WILLIAMS
MISSISSIPPI SENATOR HoNoRS
MAN OF SOUTHERN
BIRTH.

UNIVERSITY OF VIRGINIA, Nov.
12.--In a letter to d. H. Ramsey. presi-
dent of the Woodrow Wilson Club of
the University Of Virginia, Senator
John Sharp Williams of Mississippi
writes as follows concerning the can
didacy OF Mr.. Wilson:
Il believe that we ought to nominate
Woodrow Wilson ana believe that we
can elect him. Southerner by birth
and tradition; northerner by environ
ment and long service: citizen OF the
world by scholarship; he Is at once in
tenscly an American. and yet full OF the
spirit Of modernism. which promises
to urge the whole world forward in y
spirit OF daily and weekly better ap-
probation OF genuine Democracy
spelled with \ big d ana . little ID
both--and in a spirit of recognition Of
the fundamental right OF men to q fair
and equal opportunity morally. men
tally and industrially.
"Woodrow Wilson has seized the
fundamental idea that II you once
will have cured most Of the evils Of
which men have a right to complain.
What first attacted me to him was his
smphasis Of an idea. which have en-
tertained and attempted. in my weak
way. to express upon the floor OF tho
House Of Representatives. He ex-
pressed 1t In q memorable phrase,
"Guilt 10 personal" Behind every cor
porate abuse 10 some man or some set
Of men guilty of having committed the
abuse: some one man somewhere gull
~ OF having initiated It. other men
guilty OF having consented to 1t.
II do not agree with him specifically
In all of his ideas. In some things. he
goae further than ! think 7 would, but
/ would refer to have In the White
House q man who IL somewhat too
radical. according to my ideas. than
ono who II somewhat too conservative.
The ofYlcial environment. the govern
mental inertia will keep man too
radically inclined from travelling too
fast: but they will emphasize the de.
fscts OF the man who il inclined to
travel too SLOW"
