TAFT GROWING STRONGER.

Some time ago a magazine writer
stated that if Taft would begin " giving
orders" and quit "counselling" with
certain stand pat friends his stock
would sell at par in a short time. Taft
seems, in his slow sure way, to have
obtained the results asked by the
writer. He has begun to give orders
In a way that has surprised friend and
foe. He has taken the bit in his teeth
in the matter of the reciprocity treaty
and today is bigger, stronger, and
greater in the eyes of the people of the
nation. than at any other time in his
term of Office.
The reciprocity treaty has been the
most misunderstood public measure
In the past decade. It has been the
biggest "bogey-man" measure that the
people of the Northwest have been
whipped into line with for the past 20
years. Western stand-patters have seen
in the agitation against the reciprocity
bill an opportunity to "come back
politically after the unmerciful drub.
!. bling of the past two campaigns. They
have forthwith climbed onto the anti
reciprocity wagon and whooped it up
without ceasing.
They have gone far enough to make
western insurgents forget tariff reform
and shout in the "anti crowd with
almost equal vehemence AS a matter
of fact there is but one answer to re-
ciprocity with Canada which the anti
reciprocity advocate can give. It is
\ the answer which the small boy gives
to the great sea waves when he Yields
his dipper and attempts to turn back

shut off the most profitable trade con-

EARLY CLOSING.

Devils Lake merchants have entered
into sensible and logical arrangement
for the summer months. Most OF the
leading business houses Of the city
have agreed, to an early closing hour
and the good will which they get in
return from clerks and customers is
well worth change. ~.
During the hot Summer months no
man needs to buy groceries, or clothing
or many other things after supper and
certainly the clerk who stands at his
place all day long is better salesman,
more cheerful and effective employee
if he can stop work at supper time
and spend the evening in the open air.
The immediate and almost unanimous
response met with when the petition
was circulated is an encouraging sign
of the new progressiveness of the city.

THE PR ESS.

In short time Devils Lake will en-
terrain the liveliest, brainiest, most
energetic gathering of men that has
come to the city for a long time. Ye
editors, grasping the one boon a kind
providence has granted them, will take
advantage of the last chance for free
transportation and come to the shores
of Devils Lake as our guests. f..
Mr.. Dooley, in speaking of excur-
sions has said that if ever he wanted
to get the sensations incident to one.
he would merely get cinder in his
eye, crawl into one of the pantry
shelves for a bed, and throw four
dollars out of the window. Too often
this is the net result of an excursion,
but it will not be this time. Devils
Lake plans to entertain royalty and
when Devils Lake really gets an in
tention like that the rest of the state
is asked to take seat far back in the
dress circle.
Devils Lake has, the greatest natural
advantages of any city in the state.
Her Chautauqua with it's splendid lake,
woods, and cozy hooks is just now a
perfect picture of freshness, beauty
and inviting GOODNESS. Within its
bounds Col. Whitehead may roam un-
disturbed and upon it's. grassy slopes
we hope to hear the sound and fury
of his eloquence during the meeting.
Even our old friends Brewer and Plum
ley Of the Forum will find suitable
spot there and we promise the "Ker-
nels' man the most enjoyable time of
his existence (barring of course the
afterglow Of some of those nifty ones
he hands us every and anon.) -..>

vention real touch of nature down at

that the good will and the hard work

CURIOUS BIT OF MECHANISM
Earthquake Shocks Are Recorded by
Means of Horizontal Pendulum
STANDARDIZATION Done.

Earthquakes are recorded by means
off, the horizontal pendulum seismo-
graph. The best example OF horizontal
pendulum in every day use is a COM
mon hinged door, The earthquake
strument is heavy weight pivoted
delicately on a frame, which is swung
at an upright hinge-line. so that the
faintest movement in the post will be
communicated to the frame A light
lever with a pen, at the outer end of
the weighted frame, makes on a paper
moved by clockwork magnified rec
ord Of the movements Of the earth's
crust. The pen Is bristle, and the
paper Is glossy and smoked, so that
the record is scratch, The weight
tends to stand still as the earth waves
move the post, and the pen writes an
autograph of the movement which
takes place about the weight as cen
ter. Every second an electric ticker
connected with clock scratches a
mark on the side of the moving paper,
so that the exact time of any earth,
quake autograph may be calculated.
Let us stop moment to watch what
happens when an earthquake wave
passes through the earth. The weight
is still, the pen is lightly In contact
with the paper, and as the latter
moves by clockwork there is left writ.
ten a straight line. Slowly, as we
watch, the writing finger moves side
wise, and begins to make little wave
marks. This lasts several minutes.
Then the pen begins to creep out until
it is very slowly scratching long,
sweeping zigzags. In the course of
half an hour this slowly diminishes.
Not a single tremor has been felt The
waves passing through the ground
were too broad and slow for sensation,
but they have come thousands of miles
from a place where walls were falling
and people were rushing frantically
into the streets.
