STATEWIDE FIGHT
WILL Be MADE
Roosevelt Bdckers viii Try TO
Capture Missouri.

Kansas City, Jan. 30.-Following the
manifestation of Roosevelt sentiment
In the Republican gatherings in Kan.
sas City last week statewide or.
ganization will ask primaries in any
district in which the sentiment of the
voters is in doubt. Subsidiary Roose.
velt organizations will be formed in
every congressional district and coun,
ty of the state. In statement issued
Just before leaving for Jefferson City
Governor Hadley said:
After comforting with representa-
tive Republicans from every congress
sional district and from 4 majority OF
the counties of the state | am more
than ever convinced that large ma.
jority of the Republicans of the state
desire Roosevelt's nomination and a
large majority of the people want to
see him the next president.
"The overwhelming sentiment In
favor of his nomination in certain
parts of the state is remarkable. 1t is
my Judgment that the result in only
two congressional districts outside of
ST. Louis is In any way In doubt and
that these districts are In any doubt is
not because the people feel any diff
ferent than In other districts, but be-
cause of political conditions peculiar
to those districts.
"In order that the wishes of all may
be made effective in the selection of
delegates to the national convention
there was organized Roosevelt Re-
publican association. which is state
wide. Wherever feasible and neces.
sary to secure a correct expression of
the opinion of the people of the coun-
ty. the committee will be asked to
provide for a ballot primary"

have followed the debate in the senate
that there is fear on part of owners
Of cotton mills in the South that the
proposed children's bureau will result
In the publication of facts about child

Are Worse Than Slaves.
CLASH AT INVESTIGATION

at Washington Hearing-Workine
Conditions in England Said to BE
Far Better.
Washington, Jan. 30.-Louis NJ
Brandeis of Boston and ID. A Reed
counsel for the United States Steel
corporation, clashed before the Stan
ley committee over a line of inquiry
into the corporations labor policy. Mr.
Reed contcaded the committee had no
authority to investigate the labor ques,
tion. Chairman Stanley overruled him
Mr.. Brandeis challenged Judge
Gary's recent statement that the cor.
pcration's treatment of employees com
pared faHorably with that of any 9th,
er and introduced portions of the re.
port upon the steel industry, recently
made by Commissioner Neill of the
bureau of labor. He criticised the
length of hours of workmen.
The percentage of men who under
go hardsh.ps is unusually large" said
Mr. Bran6eis. Judge Gary's com
ment on criticisms of the corporation's s
labor policy shows to me the utter in
ability OF large corporations to regard
human life"
AV 1t

ed entirely all these Objectionable fea-
lures"
You don't mean England has been
able to do anything for labor that we
can't do III this country2" demanded
Chairman Stanley. You must be mis-.
taken"
Insists He Is Correct.
Unfortunately in this case am not
mistaken" returned Mr. Brandeis, say
ing that the working week of and Eng.
lish steel worker was 552 hours and
that AZ per cent of the workers in this
country averaged seventy-two hours.
mir. Carnegie has said the steel bus
prince or pauper, in the early days.
Today with the steel corporation it is
case of prince and papuerinzing, I"
said Mr. Brandeis
He charged that the steel workers
were worse than slaves.
THE slave owners were human" he
said, "and slaves came into personal
contact with their owners. On the
other hand the owners of this steel
corporation are in the position exact.
ly similar to the absentee landlords in
Ireland and through their stock dis
tribution scheme to employees has
been brought about condition exactly
comparable to the appalling rack rent

Hard Metals.

In one respect the diamond has al ways stood nre-eminent in the mineral world-that of hardness. Other sub. stances have rivaled it in beauty, and at least one, the ruby, outranks 1t in cost. but none in the whole list equals it in hardness. Since the invention of the electric furnace. however, which Is capable of producing a heat equal to 1000 degrees F., at least two products have been prepared which have sup planted the diamond even in hardness. Experimenters have succeeded in pro ducing titanium in the electric furnace. In its pure form it is much harder than steel or quartz. and when combined with silicon. to form a sllicide of titani- um, or without boron, to form boride of titanium. 1t surpasses the diamond itself in this quality.-Harper's.

Despite the marvellous advance of exploration i'll various parts of the globe. an estimate as submitted by a member of the Royal Geographical society in London shows that no less than 2O,OOO,OOO square miles of the eGrth's surface yet remain unexplOred. The largest unexplored area Is said to be that in Africa-6, 100000 miles-but even North America contains 100000 square miles of virgin territory. It is surprising to learn that there are three times as much land awaiting the foot of the pioneer in North America as in South America.-Harper's
