WILL STAND PAT.

Senator Cummins has made public
announcement that he will not bolt
the republican party or join the third
ever. that those republicans who are
not satisfied with the republican tick
ct put in the field at Chicago, can
give rebuke to the party by voting
nominee for president The salient
parts of his statement follow:
Il believe that we can solve the
problems before us more quickly and
more successfully through the repub-
lfcan party than through any other
political organization.
The only thing that has happened
since the progressive republicans
made their campaign for the nomina-
ton of a candidate for president in
the Chicago convention is our failure
to control the convention, due, as
many believe, to unfair or dishonest
practices by our opponents. | deep
ly regret the failure, and | agree that
dishonest practices without regard to
consequences ought to be rebuked
and punished; but | can not believe
that the disappointment, however pro
found, or the dishonesty of individu-
ais, however heinous, can constitute
a foundation upon which to rear a
new party.
IF we are vigilant these things can
never occur again in the republican
party, and if We are not vigilant they
can occur in any party, old or new.
We can not rid ourselves of bosses
by organizing another party. Bosses
will fasten themselves upon any party
unless the rank and file are sleepless
in their fight against them.
1T is no more difficult to deprive
the old bosses of power than to pre-
vent the appearance of new ones.
For these reasons, and others
which may be easily deduced from
those l have given, shall not join
the new party, but shall continue to
use all the strength | have to infiu-
ence and direct the course of the re-
publican party toward it's true mis-
sion. shall not hesitate to oppose
measures brought forward by its lead,
ers when | think they are wrong, nor
to differ from the president when he
proposes legislation which | believe
to be unsound or unwise.
"A fraudulent conspiracy vitiates
everything it touches, and therefore
as to the republican who after iutelIi,
gent inquiry reaches the conclusion
that the outcome of the Chicago con,
vention was the result of deliberate
fraud, the nominee of the convention
Is not the nominee of the republican
party. Such a conclusion ought not
to be reached without careful investi'
cation, but If it is so reached the
republican voter holds in his own
hands the opportunity to rebuke and
punish"

THE MATTER OF SLEEP.

How long should a person sleep in
order TO obtain the best results as re
CARDS health and energy and the pro
longation OF life? This question Is
now under discussion in certain quar-
tiers and there appears 10 be consid
cradle difference of opinion. Prob
ably most Herald readers are az
quainted with the rule laid down once
upon a time by certain confirmed
mysognyist, to-wit: Eight hours for
men, nine hours for women and ten
hours for idiots. But being a mys
ogynist his opinion Is not generally
considered worth taking into account
Just now the idea is being agltated
for less sleep than has formerly been
advised. Look at Napoleon" say
the anti-sleep promoters, and they in.
dictate other conspicuous incidents OF
great attainment with small periods
of rest. The Des Moines Tribune
says of this propositions:

AN EARLY AUTOMOBILE.

Many of those who attended the
worlds fair in Chicago, twenty years
ago. saw an automobile for the hrs'
time. The cars On exhibition there
we're driven by electricity and were
built like an ordinary buggy. 1t has
been only thirty-tive years ago since
the first vehicle built to run without
a track was made. The first ma
chine OF record was invented anC
built by Lemuel H. Parker, black
smith of Rockland, Maine. He was
20 years old when ne came TO ROCK
land from Nova Scotia. He built the
vehicle, including the engine, during
his spare time, at his shop on Main
street. The work consumed two oil
three years. The body, it is said
was as long as that of the large tour
ing car of today, and was hung very
low on the axles. The wheels Were
solidly fastened to the aXles in such
a manner that corners were turned
with difficulty. They had iron tires
and largely for this reason the ma
chine was able TO travel in dry wealth
er on level ground or up slight in
cline. Parker once took a trip OF eight
miles to Camden, which seems u
have been his record. 1t seems that
ON his trips he always had a horse
tied behind the vehicle. When he
came to hill, the horse was obliged
20 tow the machine to the top. The
inventors name was painted ON the
body OF the automobile. Power was
derived from a steam engine OF 10
horsepower, supplied with steam
from tubular boiler. The fuel was
coal, stored in coal bunkers, on the
top Of which was room for four or
five passengers The speed was said
TO have been between four and five
miles per hour on a good level road.

The estimated receipts for tomor-

COKE BY-PRoDUcTS.

The production of coke in the Unit
ed States in 1911 was less than that
of 1910 and below the average for
the last six or seven years, according
to a statement by Edward w. Parker
just issued by the United States Geo
encouraging feature of the condition
of the industry was an increase in
the amount of coke made in by-prO-
duct ovens ana the incidental conser-
walton of the gas and coal-tar pro
ducts otherwise wasted. In sympa-
thy with the depression in the iron
trade, the total production of coke
decreased Is per cent in 1911, com
pared with 1910, but the output from
the by-product ovens increased 10 per
cent, and the increase in the num-
Der of ovens of this type in operation
was larger than in any other year,
with one exception, since they were
introduced into the United States.
The total production of coke in 1911
was 35, 555, 1862 short tons, valued at
$84,1O3,571, compared with 4l,70S,S1O
tons, valued at $99,742,7O1, in 1910.
The 1911 output consisted of 27,7O5,,
ST tons of beehive coke, with an av,
erage value of $205 a ton, and T.
847,845 tons of by-product coke, with
an average value of $3.48 ton. The
difference in price was due largely to
the fact that most of the by-product
plants are situated nearer to the mar
kets for coke, as well as for gas and
other by-products, so that the trans
portation charges are added to the
cost of the coal instead of to that OF
the manufactured coke.
The beehive ovens produced an ay'
erage of 466 tons each; the by-product
ovens an average of 1917 tons each
At the close of 19llt here were 2,254
ovens in course of construction, OF
which sos were of the by-product
type.

stone is thrown into a smooth pool OF
water series of circular waves ex-
tends in all directions. II any float
ing objects come within these waves
they are oscillated.
1t was the lamented Professor Hertz
who discovered that electricity, like
light and heat, also moves in waves
which may be measured. Just pre-
cisely how these waves pass through
the atmosphere is not wholly under
stood, but it is believed that they
have some relation to ether, which is
omnipresent and which is believed to
constitute all matter under different
negative electrical conditions. In
wireless telegraphy series of Hert,
zian waves is set up by powerful
electrical dynamos or batteries, and
these are discharged from the top OF
high mast or pole. These waves
extend in all directions, and, unless
their force is expended by distance

ments within the zone, just as the
waves disturb chips on a pool. Mes
sages are sent and received some
what on the plan of ordinary Morse
code by wires, in that electrical i'm
pulses are regulated so as to spell
words according to a code.
In recent years many kinds of re
ceivers have been used and the pro
cess is now simpler than formerly
but any successful transmission Of
waves depends a good deal on the
state of the atmosphere, electrical
storms being dlsadvantageous. Aist
when many wireless outfits are work
ing in the same zone much confusion
results and often messages are trans
mitted with great difficulty and some
times not at all. This may account
for some of the recent delays ant
confusion.

Louis Globe-Democrat. When called
back in 1896 to take control of ma
tional affairs the country was suffer
ling from profound business distress,
and the only democrat elected presi
dent in fifty years had been repudiat
ed by his party, which had started In
hot pursuit of the free silver chimera
The republican party in that crisis
promised to make all the currency OF
the country as good as gold, and to
keep it up to that worldwide stand
ard. 1t pledged itself, rs test OF
party efficiency to restore prosperity
How amply it has fulfilled the obliga
ton is in plain sight. No excuses are
called for. Congratulations are the
party due. +a .-
The great improvement in national
conditions began as soon as the re
publican party was given authority II
Iall branches of the government
which it retained until the present
democratic house met in March of last
year. In the decade between 1900 and
1910, covered by the latest census
there was uninterruptedly a republi
can congress as we'll as a republican
president. A great story of progress
is told in the figures of this period
Population increased from 100000
to $4,000 900, the wealth of the coun
try from SS,OO0,002OO0, to 100000,
900 900, the circulation of money from
81, 900 100000 to $1,000 100000, de
posts in savings banks from $4,000,
900 to 100000. and the annual val
ue of farm products from 100000,
900 to $8,00O,0 900 900. Manufacturing
and mining advanced in a similar way
Yet in the decade the public debt de
creased, and the interest on it was
lowered from s33.00,00O year tc
$21 900, 900.
These are but a few of scores OF
large facts that have a like clio
quence. Yet there Is clamor, an up
Iheaval of demagogy, that demands
more "progressiyeness." That word
in its honest meaning is one upor
which the republican party can vel
afford to be tried, feeling entirely as
sured that the party cannot be found
wanting in any respect. Some politi
cal writer's contend that there is toe
much prosperity, and that this condi
ton breeds a spirit of reckless disor
Iganization. At all events the republi
can party can say that its long tern
Of responsibility has been identified
