THOUGHT TRANSPARENCY.
Wireless Teiesrsphy May Point to the
"Why" Of Telepathy.

Accepting tclcpathy as an establish
ed fact. the problem rcmains-how are
we TO explain Il? What Is the mech
anIsm by which one person Is able to
transmit messages directly and In
simultaneously TO another person. al
though they may he half the world
apart?
To this question II must frankly be
admitted no positive answer can as
yet be returned But some interesting
hypothesis have lately been advanced,
not by mere theorists. but by eminent
men Of science. who. themselves affirm
ing the actually of telepathy. have
given much thought TO the problem Of
its mode Of operation.
Sir William Crookes. for example.
calling attention TO the marvellous but
andisputcd facts of the real vibration
as evidenced by the phenomena of
wireless telcgraphy aud the Roentgen
rays. urges that here we have quite
possibly an adequate explanation of
the mystery OF tclcpnihy OF wholly
naturnlistic bnsis-ihat is 10 say. u
basis which enables us 10 accept telcp-
athy without dlslocating our entire
conception of the physical universe.

have possible way of transplnnting
intelligence which. with few reason
able postnlates may supply the key TO
much that Is obscure In physical re-
search. Let Il be assumed that these
rays. or rays OF even higher frequency.
can pass into the brain and act on
some nervous center there. Let u be

In this same way the phenomena OF
tclcpathy and the transmission OF in

or through long distances seem to
come into the domain OF law and can
be grasped."
This undoubtedly is the explanation
that most strongly commcnds itself to
those scientists who courageously ac-
knowledge their belief In telepathy.

THE TRUSTS AND

II has been so much dinned into the peoples
ears that tariff produces and fosters trusts that
our Democratic friends claim to believe it and
many Republicans fear it is true; and yet there
never was statement which could be concus-
lively controverted argument whose fallacy
could be so convncngly exposed.
There trusts in free trade England
than there in protected America.
That one statement ought to be enough to set
tie the question.
There trusts in America in articles
upon the free list than there in those upon the
dutiable list.
That is another statement which ought 10 set
tie the matter
If the tariff is the mother OF trusts, how are
to account for trusts in England, where the
tariff is for only?
II the tariff is the mother OF trusts how

dard Oil trust and for innumerable other trusts
in this country in articles which are the free
list?
But II the facts prove that trusts can exist in

NOT MEN BUT
PARTIES.

A correspondent asks If President Taft is person
ally responsible for the great prosperity which now
besses the United States.
We answer frankly that he is not. W
Neither would Woodrow Wilson be personally
responsible for the destruction Of prosperity which
would assuredly follow his election. fht
Our government is one of parties, not of men.
The point at issue in this campaign is not wheth
er Taft or Wilson shall presdent-for Roosevelt
cannot possibly get 266 electoral votes-but wheth
er the Republican or the Democratic party shall
make the laws and control the affairs ofrgovern-
ment. The Republican party has been on power 16
years. and during that time, under benefcent poll
cies enacted into law, the country has enjoyed I'M
exampled posperity and progress. Only once in the
last so years has the Democratic party been in full
control of the government, and those four years
were period of universal distress, due to destruc-
tive laws enacted by the Democratic administration
They were tariff for only laws, which open
e6 the gates for foreign made goods, diverted Amer
lean money from American manufacturers and
American farmers and American workngtnen and
American banks into the pockets Of foreign manu-
facturers and workngmen and financial institutions
That was the reason we had hard times under the
Democratic administration. f5
While President Taft is not individually respon-
sbe for prosperity, he has contributed to our hap
by condition because he has given the country
safe and conservative government. He has admin
istered the laws fearessly and impartialyi he has
not rushed into with Mexico or any other
power; he has been clean, honest. and dgnifed; he
has earned for the United States the respect OF
foreign nations by his wise conduct of arHirs; and
he has been economic and efficient in his admin.
stration. This, and more, is what President Taft
has done personally; and when, in addition he rep
resents the party which has achieved so much for
the country since it brought liberty to thous-
ands of men in bondage, there is every reason why
both he and the Republican party should be victor
ious on the fifth OF next November.

the steel industry for example: The steel trust

cheaper than any of its smaller competitors II is
the competitors of the steel trust, therefore who
would be first put out of business by the reduction
of the price OF the goods they manufacture. If
the cutting still went on, to extent that even
the trusts could not manufacture at profit the re-
suit would simply be to transfer the business to
foreign mills, involving the loss Of employment in
this country to a million more. together
with the universal disaster which would follow
the shutting down of one of the countrys greatest
industries But even then we would not be rid
OF the steel trust would simply be dealing with
a foreign organization instead Of one that is sub
ject to our own laws and regulations. And a SINH
lar demonstration might be made in the matter of
any other industry which is depending upon the
tariff for its prosperity. It is the small indepen
dent factories that would to the wall first, leav-
ing the great trusts in possession of the market and
therefore in position to advance its prices to any
figure it thought the business would bear.
Neither by facts by arguments, therefore
can it be shown that the tariff is in any way re-
sponsble for the trusts that its removal would
eliminate trusts. The trust problem has to be
solved through the enactment and enforcement OF
laws providing for that degree Of regulation which
will ensure competition and prevent monopoly and
not through the destruction OF a revenue system
under which this country has enjoyed period of
prosperity unmatched in its history.
