Before the senate committee in
vestigating campaign funds John D.
Archbold corroborated the testimony
of Senator Penrose in regard to the
Standard Oil contribution to the
Roosevelt campaign fund. Of 1904.
He admitted that 1925, 600 was, given
to Cornelius N. Bliss, chairman of
the campaign committee, and that
later q. request was made for $3.50, 600,
which the Standard Oil board of di-
rectors refused to give. ~~Archbold
also testified that Roosevelt approved
Of this gift, but the ex-president de-
MES the statement. It is not reason
able to suppose, or easy to believe,
that the Standard Oil company con
tributed sl25,ooo to Roosevelt's cam
paign fund without his knowledge.
and the public will be slow to swal-
low such statement. Roosevelt has
always been favorite of the. trusts
and the trusts, Of course, have their
reasons.

In the death of General Booth of
the Salvation army the world has lost
a man of noble character and one of
the greatest leaders of the age. Be-
ginning his career as a street corner
preacher when but Is years of age in
the slums of Nottingham, England,
he ended it at 81 as head of an army
of millions of Salvationists, compa-
MES of whom are scattered through
out the world. The Salvation army
was organized in London for the pur-
pose Of assisting the unfortunate
poor Of the -congested tenement
districts and preaching to them
the gospel. Gradually it spread over
the globe, and the good work per-
formed by it is incalculable.

GORDON ON SPOONER.

Here are a couple of excerpts from
Lieutenant Governor Gordon's: paper,
the Browns Valley Tribune, a year
or SO ago:
"Do not fail to hear L. C. Spooner
on the political issues at the opera
house tomorrow night. Those who
have heard Mr.. Spooner in the pres
ent campaign, say that he produces
the strongest political speech of any
man on the stump. He is likely to
be governor some day, and so come
out and hear future governor.
IL. G. Spooher Of Morris is being
mentioned for governor. The mo-
tive behind this announcement may
have originally been for the purpose
of side-tracking him for another
term in the legislature. Mr.. Spooner
has been thorn in the side of some
of the big corpora tion interests dur
ing his two terms in the house, and
they would no doubt be much pleased
to know that he wouldn't 60 back.
But he is of the gubernatorial size
and would fill the chief executives
chair in way that would be credit
to the state.'' -.
What was true of Mr.. Spooner then
is true of him now. Mr.. Spooner
may never be governor but the fact
remains that he is of gubernatorial
size." If the people of the state
only knew Mr.. Spooner as the writer
knows him they would make him
governor in short order.

TIE sErOND CHOICE FEATURE.

THE SECOND CHOICE FEATURE.
Three Of the republican guberna-
torial candidates Messrs. Lee, Young
and Gordon have declared that they
are earnest believers in the second
choice feature Of the primary election
law; each Of them expects to read
his title clear to the nomination,
largely because of the second choice
votes he will receive.
Now, if it is in order, we would
like to PROFOUND this interrogatory
to Mr.. Lee, Mr.. Young and Mr.. Cor
don: Who is your second choice for
governor? Will Mr.. Lee urge his
friends to make Mr.. Young their
second choice? Will Mr.. Gordon in
dictate to his friends that he would
be pleased to have them record their
second choice votes in favor If Mr..
Lee? Is there one of the six aspi-
rants for the republican nomination
for governor who will urge his friends
to record their second choice votes
for one Of the other five? ,> J..
Theoretically this second choice
feature is decidedly progressive and,
presumably, will prevent the nomina-
tion of a minority candidate; but,
we venture the assertion that there
is not one of the six candidates for
the republican nomination for COVER
nor who will come out sQuarely and
tell his friends for whom he desires
them to cast their second choice
votes.
Many of the friends of Mr.. Eber-
hart boldly declare they have no Sec
ond choice. They believe that the
second choice proviso was inserted in
the primary election law for the ex-
press purpose of defeating Mr. Eber-
hart, and they have good reason for
so believing, hence they will have
none of it.
But it is useless to DISCUSS the Sec
ond choice feature of the primary
election law at this time. In a few
weeks we will have a practical dem
onstration Of. how it works. In
the meantime, however, we would
like to have our interrogatory an
swered. The progressive candidates
for governor should practice what
they preach.

The state senate committee ap-
pointed to investigate brewery own
ership and control of saloons will not
meet again until after. the primaries,
September II. As the courts have
ruled that the committee is without
power to compel the attendance of
witnesses, why meet at all? Under
these circumstances the continuance
of the investigation can avail MOTH
ing and will prove an unnecessary
expense to the taxpayers.

SPINNING EGGS.
Relation Of Fluid Friction to the So
lidity of the Earth.

An interesting experiment exhibits
the phenomenon Of fluid friction. Take
two eggs. one raw, the other hard
boiled, and suspend them by wires
from an electric light fixture or other
support. their long axes being vertical
Then if they be gently turned around
once or twice it is found that while
the boiled egg continues to revolve the
raw one comes Immediately to rest.
This difference is due to the fact
that the boiled egg is solid body. the
whole egg turning. while the raw egg
Is fluid contained in shell, the shell
alone being turned by the twisting of
the wire and the fluid remaining sta.
tionary.
The investigator who devised this
and the following experiments EN-.
ployed it as one Of the proofs that the
earth is solid body and not a thin
crust Of rock surrounding a fluid OF
"pasty nucleus In that case. he
held. the observed swinging and sway
ing motions of the earth's axis in pro-
cession and mutation would be impos-
sible -
The same phenomenon is shown in
the following experiment. though in a
directly opposite way: If two eggs
be spun rapidly on their sides on a
mirror or other perfectly smooth sur
race the experimenter by gently plac-
Ing his hand upon the boiled egg as
1t spins stops it's movement perma-
nently. But if the same experiment be
made with the raw egg it will immedi-
ately begin to spin again when the
hand is removed Indeed. it is extraor-
binary how long one can hold his hand
upon the raw egg without destroy
ing it's motion. The reason of this is
apparent The fluid within the shell
continues to revolve. although the shell
itself is stationary. while in the other
case the whole egg is stopped.
If one attempt to spin the eggs on
the mirror. after the manner of top.
he will find that the boiled egg will
spin for considerable time. but that
the other will fall almost Immediately
on its side. 1t has been observed that
this experiment furnishes solution
of Columbus problem-how to make
an egg stand on end. First boil the
egg hard and then spin it.-Harper's
Weekly.

BRIDES IN JAPAN,
First They Are Arrayed In White Silk,
Then In Red

FIRST 1hey Are Arrayed In White Silk
Then In Red.
Brides in Japan follow the same Gus
tom which prevails in the western world
that Of wearing white at the we'd
ding ceremony. at least during part
of it. But the significance attached to
the choice Of this color is quite differ
ent on the two sides of the world.
The Japanese bride is dressed first in
respondent garments of white silk, the
sleeves Of the costume usually being
about three feet in length, while the
sash. an important feature. measures
about eleven feet in length
But white is the mourning color in
Japan. and the bride leaving her par
ents' house considers herself dead in
the sense that she will never return
alive, preferring death to divorce and
In consequence wearing white cos
tune.
After the exchange of cups of sake
with the bridegroom, which is the most
important part Of the wedding cere-
mony. the bride changes her costume
to red one. This is called iromaoshi
Changing color). Red is supposed to
have "a purifying power and perhaps
clears the minds Of the parties of all
association Of mourning.
This is the origin of the japanese
custom of using white costumes at we'd
dings. but many people in modern ia.
pan do not any longer have time to
bother their heads with these questions
of color and simply 90 ahead and mar
ry according to the accepted custom.
