for one to fully appreciate the scientific
side of this marvellous method of trans

mitted by means of electric waves set
up in the ether which surrounds us by
electric oscillations established in ele-

Theodore Roosevelt Is on record

and Mr.. Taft In the present campaign
for the Republican nomination for
president there Is no choice on this is-

In connection with his public Ut

has also Joined President Taft In say.

BY no means perfect, is nevertheless
"the best tariff law yet passed by con
