Curiosities Of Sound.

There are mysteries in the transmits
sion of sound that have not yet been
fathomed For example. the guns of
the Orion are said to have been heard
ninety-seven miles away, though in
audible to those much nearer. and 1T
is on record that the reverberation of
the battle of Waterloo reached many
places in Kent though General Col

of it a dozen miles away. Whistles.
boots. sirens and noises of all kinds
have been tested by the Trinity House
in order to find noise which will be
infalibly heard for certain distance
in vain. They may all be heard for a
dozen miles and be inaudible at half a
mile. Many of the disasters about our
coasts are doubtless due to that mys-
ferrous "soundless zone" in which the
human ear cannot catch the warning.

Man Power and Coal Power.

Does any one realize the power of
coal as a worker? A man was set to
work to pump as hard as he could all
day. and at the end of ten hours it
was found that he had done just as
much work as little less than two
ounces of coal could do Taking all
the energy put forth by a hardwork-
ing man during one whole year, the
same amount of force would be fur
nished by thirty-siX pounds of good
coal. or say forty pounds Of average
coal. Of course even in our best en-
gines the greater part of the working
energy of coal Is wasted But even
if only one-tenth Is turned to account
one and a half hundredweight Of coal
is equal to a man working 300 days
of the year A horse can do as much
work as ten men. but one and a quar-
ter pounds of coal have as much work
ing force as horse expends in one
day. So that a ton of coal. If we
could use all its force. would do as
much work as six horses working for
a whole year.

COAST RATES ARE HELD UP
Increased Tariff to Coast From East
is Suspended.

Spokane.-Spokane shippers re-
ceived another setback in their rate
fight when the interstate commerce
commission issued, at Washington, an
order suspending until December 81,
pending further investigation, the new
tariff increasing freight rates from the
east to Pacific coast terminals.
Although the effect on Spokane
shippers is indirect it is no less SER
ious. When the railroads first entered
into the compromise agreement with
the local jobbers, it was generally I'M
derstood that Spokane and coast rates
were to be brought almost to equality
by lowering the Spokane rate. Later
it was agreed that, while the Spokane
rates were to be reduced in most in
stances, the reduction would not be to
the level of the coast rate, but the
coast rate would be increased almost
to the level of the Spokane rate.
The Spokane rates, accordingly,
were reduced somewhat by the tariff,
which became effective June Is. A
month ago the railroads proceeded to
carry out the other half of their prom
Use by issuing a new tariff increasing
the coast rate. This tariff was to have
gone into effect September 2, but has
been suspended for the balance of the
year by the order Of the commission.
In the meantime the reasonableness
of the increase will be investigated.

LIGHT on PANIC ARGUMENT

The enemies Oh democracy are
making their anticipated and
regularly recurring howl-they are
predicting hard times if Woodrow
Wilson is elected president on a
democratic tariff revision plat
form.
The republicans are claiming all
credit for present prosperity.
A glance backward will be worth
while at this time. Every panic
since the Civil War originated and
developed under republican rule.
The republican campaign text
book I, T 1904 devoted much space
to the many business disasters
occurin from July 1893 to
November 1894, intending the
public to attribute them to the
imagination of President Cleve-
land in March 1898. But republi-
cans fail to refer to the fact that
the republican tariff law was in
force during more than twelve OF
the sixteen months of business
disasters. This fact must be
remembered-the Mckinley tariff
bill became law October 6, 1890,
and the first indications of the 1893
psnic were seen November II,
1880. scarcely more than thirty
days after the Mckinley law was
passed, and the panic reached it's
worst stage in 1893 and early in
1894 during which time the
Mckinley law was in full force.
1t may be recalled. too. that the
panic of 1878, under republican
rule and in a period of twelve
years of high tariff taxation, was
most disastrous. 1t continued five
years, 100000 workingmen were
thown out of employment and
hankruptcy ran riot.
1t NAV also be recalled that from
1881 to 1886 under two republican

CONSERVE HUMANITY FIRST

e +.
Governor Wilson places human
rights above property rights. In
his speech at Minneapolis on Sep
tender 18th, he said:
Why is it we conserve our natural
resources if we could by sort of
magic of industry transmute them
into the wealth of the world? And
who transmutes them into that
wealth if moi skill and the touch of
the great bodies of men who go
daily to their toll and who con-
stitutes the great body of the
American people?
What l am interested in is
having the Government of the
United States more concerned
about human rights than about
property rights.
Property is an instrument of
humanity; humanity isn't an in
strument of property. And yet
when you see men rgidin their
great industries as if they were
driving a car of Juggernaut, not
looking to see what multitudes
PROSTATE themselves before the
car and lose their lives in the
crushing effect of their industry,
you wonder how long men are
going to be permitted to think
more of their machinery than they
think of their men.
Did you never think that men
are cheap and machinery is dear !;
and many superintendent will be
dismissed for over-driving a
delicate machine who wouldn't be
dismissed for over-driving an over
worked man?
You can discard your man and
replace him: there are others ready
but you cannot without great cost
discard your machine and put in
new one. You are not looking
upon your men as the essential
and vital foundation. part Of your
whole business.
l say, therefore. that property.
as compared with humanity, as
compared with the vital red blood
in the American people, must take
second place, not first, and that
we must see to it that there is no
over crowding, no bad sanitation
NO unnecessary spread IF avOidable
diseases, that women are not
driven to impossible tasks and
children arctic permitted to spend
their energy before it is fit to be
spent; that all the hope of the race
must be preserved. ard that men
must b" preserved according to their
individual needs and not according
to the programs Of industry
merely.
"What is the use of having
industry if we die producing it?
If we die in trying to feed our
selves, why should we feed our
selves"

LIEUT.. BEcKER's TRIAL.

New York, Sept. 1.-THE trial of
Lieut.. Becker, former head of the De-
tective Bureau of this city, accused
of instigating the murder of Herman
Rosenthal, the gambler, in July last
| is scheduled to go to trial today.
When the case comes up before Jus
tice Golf, Lawyer McIntire, counsel
for Becker, will try to have it delay
ed. District Attorney Whitman, ex-
counsel for Becker will not be able
to secure a delay, or if so, for more
than two days.
1t is expected that the Becker trial
will furnish sensations that will rival
even the trials of Nan Patterson,
Harry Thaw or Roland B. Molineaux
At the counsel table of the defense
will be Attorneys McIntire, John
Hart and Lloyd c. Stryker. District
Attorney Whitman will have practi-
cally the machinery of office behind
him in conducting the prosecution, but
one of his chief assistants will be
Assistant District Attorney Moss.
The trial takes place in the old court
room which has become famous the
world over as the scene of sensational
murder trials. Everything in the room
is just the same as in the days when
Molineaux and Nan Patterson and
Harry Thaw fought for their lives
beneath the tall windows, while the
Fates looked down upon the dingy
wall behind the bench.
District Attorney Whitman is quot
ed as having said that his purpose
for rushing the trial was to prevent
the escape of any more important
witnesses who might be summoned
to testify against Becker. The pro-
secution has already lost two of. its
main witnesses, one of whom is in
Europe, while the whereabouts Of the
other is unknown. These are men
who worked in the club opposite the
scene of the murder of Rosenthal
and were eye-witnesses to the shoot
ing. they allege.
