Senator Smith of Michigan favors
the denomination OF President Taft.
but II is hard 10 understand why he
should do so. He is and has been
against him in every prominent
feature OF his administration. .
Mr. Smith opposed President Taft as
TO reciprocity, tariff regulation by q
commission, the arbitration treaties
and Central American control. He has
not favored even one of Mr. Tafts
pet projects but has opposed every
one of them. Yet Mr.. Smith favors
jeopardizing Republican success by
renominating Mr.. Taft. This incon,
sistency may doubtless be accounted
for by Mr.. Smiths acting upon the be
lief, which some months ago was gen,
eral, that Michigan was for Taft. He
finds himself committed to the Taft
candidacy but his state admittedly for
Roosevelt by a prodigious majority
Depend upon IL, Mr.. Smith realizes
the awkwardness and the danger OF
the situation and is ardently wishing
he had taken his customary perch on

Mrs. Grundv.

What will Mrs. Grundy say?" This
query occurs in an old play called
Speed the Plough" The author of it
was one Thomas Morton, forgotten
playwright. First acted in 179S-the
year of the Battle of the Nile, and the
Irish Rebellion-this play had then
a run" of forty-one nights and sub
sequently it. was much revived A

Tourists in ireland.

The world is always willing to give

small one But our attitude towards
it will be regarded, and rightly regard
ed as sign of our whole attitude to-
wards the things that the modern
world of business considers most i'm
portant If we take no pains at all
to preserve and garner the golden
harvest which is open to us in the
tourist traffic, we shall be set down
as hopelessly incompentent in prac
tical affairs If our visitors are bored
or cheated, if they are allowed to go

to expect. the damning rumor will
spread abroad that Ireland is pretty

dice against Irish goods and Irish me-

Measuring Light From Stars.

Starlight has been measured in COM
parison with sunlight and the follow
ing results have been announced: The
light received from star of the first
magnitude like Vega is about one for
y-thousandth-million of the suns
Young places the total starlight receiv-
ed by the earth at the value of 5000
first magnitude stars, thus making the
whole starlight to be one-sixtieth that
of the full moon. Light has an actual
mechanical pressure, and can be meas
ured in the laboratory. 1t has been
found that the suns light in itself
presses against the earth with force
something like 10000 tons. AS the
surface of a sphere varies as the
square of the radius, and as the vol
ume of mass varies as the cube of
the radius, and as the mechanical pres
sure of light on the whole surface
varies as that surface, and as the
force of gravity varies as the mass
if sphere were made smaller and
smaller it is easily seen that the pres
sure of light would not decrease so
fast as the force of gravity; so bodies
beyond curtain minuteness could not
reach the sun, but would be repelled
by the mechanical force of it's light.

Auto Frightened Negro Nanny.

"We had one rather ludicrous en-
counter which might have resulted in
serious injury although it fortunately
did not" said Mrs. Francis Boyd, in
describing recent trip through the
south in an automobile.
"As we rounded curve in crossing
the mountains of Virginia, we saw ap-
preaching a wagon load of negro folks,
drawn by a skinny horse that labori-
ously climbed toward US.
"In the group was a mother who
held baby close to her breast. She
evidently had never seen an automo-
bile before.
COY she shrieked; it's a black
devil and it will get u.s. and she threw
the baby out of the wagon to the road
side and then jumped over the NOV
ing wheels to the ground.
"The woman was so thoroughly
frightened that it took some time to
quiet her and make her understand
that the automobile was not danger
ous."

FEAR MIX-UP OF FALSE HAIR
Why Women, Apparent Strangers,
Insist on Occupying Adjoining
Berths in Pullman.

Nobody can tell funnier stories
about the false-hair craze than rail
road employees.
''For some time after women began
to swell their heads out with such
enormous quantities Of hafr," said a
Pullman conductor, eve couldn't quite
understand why women who were ap-
parent strangers to each other should
insist upon occupying neighboring
berths, even bargaining to exchange
with other passengers to obtain the
desired accommodations. Finally a
girl wearing about a bushel of blonde
hair enlightened me.
"'Have you noticed she said, that
a blonde insists upon sleeping near
another blonde, and a brunette near
another brunette? They do that to
prevent ludicrous mistakes in an
emergency that necessitates quick
dressing. Supposing there should be
an accident in the night and every
body would have to throw on their
clothes and hair in the dark. If am
shut up in the same compartment
with brunette I am likely to mix
some of her black hair with my
blonde puffs and she mine with hers.
What we would both look like can be
imagined. That happened to me once,
so now I insist upon sleeping near a
blonde neighbor, even if I have to
pay extra for it,

powerful engines are hosting valuable
oak and walnut logs from the bottom
of the bay. Some of them are fifty
feet long and sound as the day they
were felled. though many OF these
logs have been submerged for twenty
five years Long ago the lake was sur
rounded by magnificent forests of oak,
pine and black walnut. and when the
logs were felled and run into the lake
for shipment, great numbers of the
heaviest sank through their own
weight or because they were covered
with snow Divers recently ascer-
tanned that the bottom of the bay was
full of logs, and barges equipped with
engines and graphing hooks are now
hosting them for commercial pur-

PROTEST OF NEW ZEALAND
Land OF Radical Legislation Objects
Because Its Premier Has Ac-
cepted a Baronetcy.

We have. as nation, been inclined
to look on the New Zealanders as a
queer lot But at last, though we
nave hardly been able to understand
their government of strongly socialis-
tic tendencies, we are able to under
stand one protest they are raising.
Joseph Ward is the premier of the
country. When Dick Seddon was run
ming a pub" and working in the
mines in the north island, and Hall
Jones was carpenter, Joe Ward-if
our memory does not fail us-was
working as telegraph operator some
where around Christ church or Dune
din.
Then came that revolution, which
followed the great maritime strike al.
most twenty years ago with the re-
suit that the old Tory party of land
monopolists was thrown out bodily,
and the butcher, baker and candle
stick maker moved into the old rattle
trap frame parliament building at
wellington to run the country With
plain, burly old Dick Seddon and old
Scotch farmer John Mckenzie at the
head of the machinery, New Zealand
started in on the most radical legis-
latlon that the world has seen for a
long time. 1t was we'll suited to New
Zealand and New Zealand was well
suited to it and though there have
been great failures at certain times
and points. the sum total has been
good
In the meantime the character of
the New Zealand people has changed
People who when they were landless
and homeless, were radical enough,
are out-and-out Conservatives now
and are ready to denounce any rad
lcal legislation that will affect their
acres or holdings. Likewise have the
butcher, baker and candlestick maker
changed Dick Seddon died true to
his start-a rough miner-but Ward
soon b!ossomed out as Joseph Ward,
and then, four years ago, he was
knighted. Sir Joseph and Lady Ward
did not. however. sit we'll with the
New Zealanders. At the recent colo
nial conference Sir Joseph accepted a
baronetcy This was just beyond the
limit for democratic New Zealand for
now the title Sir became heredi-
tary New Zealand has kicked out a
hereditary land monopoly and now it
is up in arms against a hereditary
aristocracy. According to the dis
patches Sir Joseph's political sun is
sinking. New Zealand prefers to ac-
cept Gladstone and Seldom. who re-
fused such hnnors. as her examples

WHY YOUTH BOOSTED CARY
Election of Candidate for Po-
liticaI Office.

There are many reasons advanced
by friends of political candidates why
their favorite should be elected to Of
fee, some of which are humorous as
is the following:
Nearly a year ago, Congressman
William J. Cary announced his can
didacy for the Office of mayor at the
next election, and Immediately his
friends started boosting him for the
lob" Whenever they could get a
man "cornered' they would immed1-
ately expound the virtues of Mr.. Cary.
A little Ooy approached voter near
the Northwestern depot.
'Say, mister, will you vote for Mr..
Cary for mayor?" he asked.
well, seeing as how you were kind
enough to ask me, 1 will, my little
man." returned the man good-natured-
ly.
Thanks" said the little boy hap
PLY, and he started to walk away.
The man, however, stopped him with
a question.
;'You seem to be interested in Con-
gressman Cary?" he said.
"Yep," answered the kid"
''How does it happen that you are
out working for his election as mayor,
and why do you ask me to vote for
him."
ooh, he's good fellow. He used to
go with my mother before she married
my father"

Had Faith in the Wireless.

Demonstration of the practical use
of wireless telegraphy on water was
first made just twelve years ago be-
tween the Needles on the English
coast and the incoming steamship St.
Paul. The world doubted, but Mar
conf was positive. The st. Paul was
sixty-five miles off the coast when the
first connection was established. The
wireless can now flash it's message
over the ocean fully 5000 miles.
