Travelling Fast

The announcement in yesterday
mornings dispatches that on New
Years day President Taft will
send by wireless a New Year greet
ing to every ruler on the face OF
the civilized globe caused very lit
tie stir in news circle For the
most part the papers put the. an
nouncement on an inside page with
single column headlines.
This only goes to show how fast
civilization Is moving in the twen-
tieth century. Had the same an
nouncement been made Christmas
morning. 1910, two short years ago.
the story would have carried a
front page double-column head in
every daily paper in the world. At
that time the farthest that wire
less messages could be sent was
little more than $50 miles, and
then under only the best and most
favorable conditions. Twenty four
months later this new commercial
agency has advanced to the point
where one man is in speaking dis
tance through 1t principles with
every man in the world. II is hard
to conceive the advancement that
wireless telegraphy has made in
the last two years.
President Taft's message will be
the first of its kind. not because
it could not have been duplicated
before. but because during the last
three months, since which time all
national capitals have been equip
ped with wireless stations, no ruler
thought of 1t.
Another sentence in the story,
which. by the way, was considered
the least important. and was put
at the end was that the station
at Washington would send the mes
sage simultaneously through Paris
and Honolulu, which is over a third
of the way around the globe.
Under such circumstances and

VICTORY OF GEORGE W. PER-
KINS AND HIS CHECK BOOK
Garfield and the PinchOt Team
lose Battle to Purge Uplift-
ers of Wall Street Taint

every floor of the La Sale hotel
today and tonight.
The only real trouble of the
day was to tell which Armageddon IL
belonged to whom. There were so
many that even the experts could
not label them. But in a busy day
of Armageddoning perhaps that
of George w. Perkins was the
most interesting.
Mr.. Perkins stood at Armaged-
don and battled for the right to be
with the upIdft and help humanity
to do right. He won. with the
aid and sympathy of his chief. Col
onel Roosevelt.
James R. Garfield also stood at
Armageddon and battled to remove
from the uplift the influence of
Mr.. Perkins and his millions. that
to sensitive nostrils bear the taint
of the Steel and Harvester trusts.
and. of Mr.. Morgan's banking COM
pany.
Amageddoning with James were
also the Pinchot brothers. that
Hotspur of the West, Francis j.
Heney. and others. And they lost.
They even lost In silence and
without fleshring their swords in
the Perkins anatomy.
Mr.. Perkins carried from his
Armageddon a sad, sweet smile as
one who has been misunderstood
and misjudged.
Mr., Garfield. the Pinchots and
Mr.. Heney took from the battle
ground corrugated brows. and the
feeling that the uplift and the
fight for humanity had been dent
ed in their tender places through
the Perkins victory.
Today was the final day of the
conference of the Bull Moosers. to
which some 1900 of the faithful
gathered to celebrate the famous
moral victory" of November s..
And it was in the unofficial and
unannounced program that the fin
al and crowning event of the oc-
casion was to be the publication of
the party.
Gayly for that final event had
come hither Mr.. Garfield, the Pin-
chot team. Mr.. Heney and some
score of those upon the same no
table errand bent. Gayly they had
disclosed their plans to trusted
ears of the faithful. 1t is re-
ported that several of them had
speeches in their systems about
Mr.. Perkins. If they had they
retain them still.
Colonel Roosevelt heard about
the intentions and the speeches
with which his friend was threat
ened.
Colonel Roosevelt said few
words in private to those with evil
Intentions toward Mr.. Perkins.
Their evil intentions We're thrown
in the scrap heap, the speeches were
kept in the various systems.
Mr.. Garfield had his final chance
in the meeting of the national
committee late this afternoon. Mr..
Perkins was there facing him, and
Colonel Roosevelt was not pres
ent.
There was motion to establish
national headquarters at New
York. the home of Mr.. Perkins, ana
handy to his check book. MT.
Garfield moved to amend by max
Wing Washington the national home
of the party.
Surely. it was thought, tha'
much might be done to divorce the
party from Mr.. Perkins without
incurrdng the wrath of the Colonel
But 1t could not be done at all
New York was made the Joint home
of the party headquarters and rer-
kins, and that was the nearest the
determined effort ito separate the
party from Mr.. Perkins came to
accomplishm ent.

The Third Degree

''The Third Degree" :" Charles Klein's great play, to be offered at the Sultana January 5, remains the triumphant public benefactor that it was recognized to be on its pre- mier over a year ago. The play not only entertains its hearers, but it instruets the larger portion of its patrons in harmful police practice of great interest to the common wealth. The interested attitude of the majority of the audience toward ''the third degree scene' tends to indicate how few are really familiar with the method of police inquiry laid bare by the author of the play. Miss Gertrude Ritchie has made a great individual hit in the part of Annie Jeffries.

It is rare find among dramatic pieces-a play which is not only entertaining and gripping because of its sheer dramatic strength and intensity, but which drives home a great number of moral truths with sledgehammer blows. It is a play that appeals to the average man and the highly educated man alike. The company sent here by the United play company is an excep- tionally strong one It is headed by Hugo B Koch.
