FIREMAN LOWERED 60 FEET
 IN CHIMNEY TO SAVE BODY
CHICAGO, August , SHRDLU

CHICAGO, August , SHRDLU
 CHICAGO, Aug. 15. Orrin w. Wright, fireman, was lowered 60 feet into the bottom of a giant smokestack recently, braving the fierce heat of the steel plates and the tons of sOot at the bottom of the chamber. Down in the sooty depths he located the body of a man who had been suffocated by the grime, and brought it up the 50 feet to the top, his only support being a small chair attached to a rope drawn by his comrades.
 John Patcus, laborer, had been sent through a fffteen-inch lodge in the bottom of the stack to clean its insides. When he feached up with his scraper he brought down a sec tion of the accumulated soot, loos- ening at the same time tons and tons above him. The whole mass bur jed him in five feet of dirt and he was smOthered to death. In his struggle he closed the little door, automatically locking it on the in side

DALLAS BARS SHORT SKIRTS

DALLAS. Tex, Aug ;. -. Women who have been leading a campaign to add a few inches to the length of skirts worn in all Dallas theaters. vaudeville houses and summer gar dens. won their battle today. when the city commission adopted reg ulation offered by Police Commis- sioner Bartlett, requiring all actress es to appear in skirts one inch be- low the knee.
 The edict was served upon all man agers. Women of the city had ap- pointed a board Of censors. and it is said no husbands dared raise a voice in protest against the ordin- ance

THEY SAW THEM
 GET THE HONOR

On Tuesdays boat. the Panama came Falcon Joslin and Max Man ger and his bride. These two Aiaskans had seen what few men in 'ilS territory, or in fact in the world, have had an opportunity of Seeing, national convention Mir 'oSiiii attended the Democratic con Vehtlon Ill Baltimore, while Mr Manager and his bride attended that ol tue Bull Moose or Progressive hepuDilcan party in Chicago. To MT. Joslln probably went the pleas. uie ol seeing one of the greatest II lot the greatest, national con Vehiion in the history of American politics. The gradual change the constant strain, the apparently un- tirlng efforts of the thousand dele. gates i'll that convention hall in Bal. 'liilore must have been a wonderful Sl&ht. The great thing about the Democratic meeting seemed to be the aolil'S CT that mob of apparently crazy men to sustain the stress of the terrific mental and physical on slausht without flnching. Slowly un. der the increasing realization that Woodrow Wilson was the right man to be their standard bearer in the coming election, the delegates chan ged. There was no stamneda to any man. There was always q doubt. How they stood the strain no one can tell. But the scene was one that will not be repeated soon and MT. Joslin indeed was afforded q rare treat.
 At the Bull Moose" convention in the Windy City, Max Manager saw a sight, while probably not as wild as the one in Baltimore, was equally as unique in American history. Of course there was no doubt who was to be the standard bearer of the new party, Roosevelt had called the convention to nominate himself But the excitement of the moment when Controller Pender"rast of the city or New York mentioned the name of the man he nominated for pres leeh', the cheers and applause that
 aSttd for Forty fi.e minutes, when the colonel took the stand, will live on@ in the memory Of Mir. Manager. Such convention IS the one held by the 'mirers Of ihe ex-presi lent in Chicago has never been held be- lore, and surely never will be again, The sight, according to Mr. Manager was one worth travelling around the world to see.
 The national convention will doubt, lessly be supplanted by other ma chinery in the near future. The people will have more to say in the choice of their standard bearer; but when the curtain sets for the last time on a national convention. there will pass from the earth a sort of spectacle, that from what those who have seen it say, nothing in the world can surpass.

GOVERNMENT OWNERSHIP.

While nothing has been heard lately of Postmaster General Hitch cocks proposal to buy out the tele. graph companies, or of Mr. Hitch cock himself, for that matter, the agitation still persists, and next winters congressional session is likely to see the idea take some sub, stantial form.
 Conservative old England owns it's telephones as we'll as telegraphs. It was as far back as 1868 that the telegraph systems of the United Kingdom were taken over, and at the very outset a uniform rate was introduced and other facilities af forded. In 1875, England joined other European powers in a general telegraphic agreement, and in 1908 entered into a working agreement with the Marconi Wireless company
 In December, 1911, all the physical resources, equipment and business of the telephone companies were bought by the government. As in the case of the telegraph. decrease in rates and iRProvemext of facili- ties followed. It muas be admitted that government ownership of these two facilities has not been financial ly suceessfsl, but this is due to the fact that England, as in the case ~'f the postoffice, does not try to

ST. PETERSBURG, July 30. - A real live ogress with desperate desire for human flesh and blood, having a daughter similarly depraved and numerous cannibal retalners, has just been seized at Kurdlo.

THE NEWSPAPER.

THE NEWSPAPER.
 Just as there was never time before when the newspaper enjoyed greater prominence and influence. just so has there never been a time when the popular attitude to news papers was so distinctly critical. The very dependence of people upon the newspaper for information has en- sendered certain protective sus- pieion. and the journal that hopes O build upon public confidence must come clean"
 For many years partisanship was permitted to shield the unfaithful
 'wspaper in its unfaith, aspecia' in connection with the discussion of those questions that involve the political social and industrial wei fare. But it is so no longer. Par ty regularity" has ceased to be fetiCh. and those papers owned or retained to fight the people cannot now conceal their venality behind masks of partisanshp.
 It has been alleged that the news, paper is entirely commercial proposition his Is true In large measure. but it is equally true that the newspaper has quasi-public func- tions, and by virtue of it's peculiar province and power. owes high and imperative duty to the community in which it has its being.
 Not only in the matter of present, ing the news fearlessly and impar- tially. but in the discussion of pub lie men and affairs. the newspaper has largest opportunity to inform. advise and direct. and the extent of it's influence is measured by the extent of public confidence in it's Not by single declaration is such l reputation gained. but by years of answering and courageous de- votion to the communal interests, and yet. when once won. it is rock that defies change and storm.
 MT Seitz, manager of the New York World, in speaking before the newspaper conference at Madison, said these things that bear upon the subject in hand:
 "A good many men have tried to start newspapers or have bought newspapers with the idea that they could in some way manipulate them to private interest. he result has always been disastrous.
 The very few capitalists l have known who went into the newspaper business to help out poor editor lost their money, and were sorry they ever played the game.
 The strong newspaper acquires its power on a basis of public con- fidence. The advertiser finds 2 constituency which has faith in it's newspaper much more productive of business results than a subsidized sheet could possibly find"
 Each day gives greater truth and weight to the verdict of Mir. Setz. for il is a time of keenest popular lar intelligence. The subsidized pa per may seem to succeed for while by reason of the money that is pour ed into it, and the dishonest paper may rise to apparent prosperity by unclean methods. but there comes inevitably time when the unscrup- ulous capitalist tires of his losses in the one case, and the people dis cover dishonesty in the other case. And while the paper that holds to high standards, and keep solemn faith with the people, may expert ence it's attacks, and arouse menacing enmities, its growth and greatness are assured, because it builds upon the very fundamentals of success Rocky Mountain News.

carneaie,s Great Reform.

What do / think the greatest re.
form of the present day?" asks Mr..
Andrew Carnegie in the Strand
What single act would / select for
instant contamination If / had the
power? | would enact the abolition
of war. l would abolish war between
nations, which bellies our claims to
civilization. AS long as men kill each
other they are savages." But think,
adds the editor, what tremendous act
this would be, and of what far-reach-
ing significance. A decree would be
signed disbanding armies, dismanning
navies, and putting ships, guns and
weapons on scrap-heap. 1t is GER
tainly difficult to conceive of a more
sweeping reform than this, but If 1t
were brought about by stroke of the
pen it would probably throw millions
OF men In idleness, and. disorganize
irreparably the whole machinery of
civilization.

Two Great Waterfalls.

What is the true comparison be-
tween the power of Niagara and the
Victoria falls in South Africa? The
answer is that the flow at Niagara var
les between 62,000,000 and 100000, 900
gallons per minute; that at Victoria is
as low as about 100000 gallons in
August The mean available drop at
Niagara is 160 feet and at Victoria $50
feet. Hence, while the minimum Nj
agara flow represents about 100000
horse power, the Victoria flow in Aug
ust represents only $4,000 horse pow
er, and accepting the statements of 10
cal authorities that in November the
flow at Victoria drops to only 100000
gallons per minute, the minimum
horse power there can be only about
one-tenth of Niagaras minimum. The
maximum of Victoria is not given.
