Anomaly Of Our Electoral Vote.

might mislead any one not familiar
with the peculiarity of this institution.
Mr.. Taft found himself in just this
position. Neither the respect. nor the
vote or affection of many thousands Of
voters who supported him, was sum-
cient to give him representation in
the electoral college proportionate to
their desire. We are perfectly satis-
fed. after studying detailed reports
available, that Taft sentiment was
much wider and more powerful thap
the returns indicate
We believe that we voice the senti-
ment of a great many readers of The
Herald when we say that Mr.. Taft has
deserved well of the country. and that,
when he leaves the White House, will
carry with him the good wishes of all
but prejudiced partisans. Mr.. Taft
may not have commanded success, but
he certainly deserved it.

New York's Shipping Supremacy.

The menace that has been hanging
over New. York City as a port for the
big transatlantic liners has been
lifted. The Hamburg-American the
North German Lloyd, and the Holland
lines will be permitted to extend their
piers SO as to accommodate the giant
new steamships now under construc-
ton. Ever since the transatlantic
companies applied two years or more
ago for permission to build their piers
further into the North River. and the
opposition of the Federal government
became apparent, there has been talk
of shifting the port for these big liners
from New York to some other harbor.
The possibility most widely discussed
has been the creation of a port at
Montauk Point. on the extreme east
ern end of Long Island. Another sug-
gestion was the building of a system
of great piers on the Jersey shore,
where the big steamships would not
interfere with the traffic of the North
River.
While all this talk has been indefi-
mite, it has been regarded with grave
concern by the many interested in
New York City's commercial develop
ment, and the decision of the army
engineers will bring definite relief The
boards report has been filed with the
War Department. Secretary of War
Stimson has to pass on it, but it is
believed that he will accept il. =
The report recommends granting the
application of the Hamburg-American,
North German Lloyd, and Holland
lines to the extent of allowing them
to make temporary extensions sufii-
cient to afford berths for vessels up
to 1000 feet in length. The piers in
question, are all at Hoboken. .Permis-
sion was granted the White Star Line
two years ago for temporary exten-
sion sufficient to accommodate its new
boats. The fullest reservation of au-
thority was made by the War Depart
ment in this case, and the company
made the extension with the under
standing that it was subject, at any
time. to an order from the Federal
government directing its removal.
The piers it is desired to extend are
at the very narrowest part of the chan
mel, where the encroachments on the
free waterway are most serious. The
War Departments maps show that
since the Federal government was es-
tabiished the water front has encroach-
ed half mile on the channel. Il is
pointed out to-day that a 1000 foot
liner backing out from her berth
would. even under present conditions,
block almost the entire channel for
some little time before she could
swing around to make her way out of
the harbor. The War Department Isl
anxiously awaiting the time when the
State, city. and commercial bodies in
terested in the New York Harbor situ.
alton shall seriously undertake TO find
. permanent solution Of the pressing
problem Of harbor space
The department sees no reason why
instead of the piers pressing outward
into the channel, extra room should
not be acquired BY cutting back into
the land.

RED CROSS MAKES
APPEAL FOR FUNDS
Document Signed by President Taft
Asks for Money for Bal.
kan War.

Announcement Of the receipt Of an ap-
peal Of the American Red Cross. signed
by President Taft as the head Of that
body. and others connected with the or
ganization for contributions to aid In re-
lieving suffering in the Balkans caused
by the war was made to the people OF
the District by the Commissioners yes
terday.
In their announcement the Commission
ers expressed confidence that the citi-
Gems OF the National Capital will respond
with liberality and with that promptness
which 90 greatly enhances the value Of
such contributions" The appeal II as
follows:
TT ID dificult to bring home to the
public In this country the appalling SUI
fering involved In q winter war In the
Balkans. Communication Is difhcult. the
cold Is intense. and even rudimentary
transportation is a matter OF extreme
difficulty. Moreover. the fighting In this
particular war is likely to be OF an espe-
cially bitter and severe character. while
on the other hand the medical organiza-
ton available is quite Inadequate to cope
with the large numbers Of wounded.
Reports have been received both from
our diplomatic representatives In Turkey
the Balkan States and Greece, and from
the Red Cross Societies Of the desperate
conditions of the thousands Of sick and
wounded and the inadequate medical ser
vice. With these reports have come urE-
ent appeals to the American Red Cross
for aid.
THE British Red Cross and those Of
Continental Europe are sending out
medical detachments Of doctors and
nurses and hospital supplies In order to
mitigate in some measure the terrible
suffering entailed by such a winter cam
peign.
Because Of the distance. the American
Red Cross will not send expeditions Of
trained personnel. but It earnestly ap-
peals to the generosity Of our people to
aid the sick and wounded soldiers Of all
the countries involved.
Though an armistice may be declared.
the great number of sick and wounded
must be cared for during . number OF
weeks and the troops must remain under
arms In the field for months during the
severe winter weather. with all the suf-
fering and sickness this will entail.
SThe services Of the American Red
Cross viii be rendered impartially to all
the contestants concerned. but II is. Of
course, open to any subscriber to desfg.
nate q donation for the special assist
ance Of one or the other Of the beliger-

HOW WIRELESS TELEGRAPHY
 WORKS.

Giting d.. last few W.-kS wc have heard q great deal about wireless tel egraphy. and hundreds of people have confessed their ignorance of this mys- terious system of transmitting the messa ges of mankind. On most any street corner you could find the village oracle expOunding and explaining the dark mysteries of wireless and nine times out of ten he hhew nothing 2t al about it.
 It is quite impossible to describe the details If wireless station so that novice will understand, but the prin- ciple of .he thing is easily cOmprehend- ed. As is known, light and heat move in waves whose lengths can be meas ured Thus. the sun gives out in every direction light in q series of undulatlnS waves, which may not only be meas ureJl, but can be deflected, polariZed and so on Some idea of this may be gained from the well-knOWn fact that when a stone is thrown into a smooth pool of water a series of circular waves extends n all directions If any float ing objects come within these waves they are oscillated.
 It was the Iamented Professor Hertz who discovered that electricity like light and heat, also moves in waves which may be measured. Just precise lv how these waves pass through the atmosphere is not wholly understood, but it is believed that they have some

MT, Bryan's Influence

There is a difference of opinion as to whether Mir. Bryan controlled the Baltimore convention. His thick and thin admirers of course are of the belief that he kept it twisted about his finger It is our belief though. that the convention played with MT Bryan, humoring or squelching him at times as occasion seemed to require
 We have before us the patent fact of his defeat in the first round and we can think of no other incident that could be regarded as a genuine effort tu control the convention.
 MT Bryan was constantly trying in the language of Epictetus ito start something and the rest of the leaders were trying at the same time to pre- serve badly needed harmony.
 But we will have the means of def initely measuring the influence of MT. Bryan upon the convention when we see the character of the machinery which the covention has constructed for the use of the party during the campaign and the next four years. We will also doubtless learn from Mir. Bryan himself what he thinks of it and we will then know what if any part he has had in it's assembling.

 Of the first tragedy. that of Mon day we have no explanation. We only know as usual. what. We do not know, that something went wrong We know that the bag of Faniman s dirigibIe burst, but why. is q matter of conjecture.
 These as well as the hundreds of accidents which have preceded them involving a greater sacrifice of life than was ever made before in so short a time. to experimentation ought by this time to convince the world of the futilitv of attempting to fly.
 Of all great aviators and aeronauts of two years ago hardly one is alive now. It may be urged that these fatal accidents will cease when perfection of machinery has been attained. but we must understand that when we have a perfect aeroplane we will have the first perfect thing ever planned by the human brain and fashioned by the human hand
 And until we have such perfection as will be proof against all accidents more often than not will be fatal.

Finances and Markets
ASSOCIATED PRESS D1sPATcHl

NEW YORK. July 2.-Stocks made a further upward progress today the early movement having more snap and breadth htan any of recent date United States Steel resumed it's old time leadership at a smart advance. Shares of electrical and equipment companies shared prominently in the market but tobacco stocks were in Clined to react after the phenomenal advance of the past few weeks.
 As the session wore on standard shares participated in the general rise with gains most marked in Reading and several other railroads. Profit taking later wiped out most of the advances and the market came to d standStin but a strong undertone was maintained up to the close when some heaviness followed the news from Baltimore. The closing was ir- regular. There was better demand to- day for long loan money but no ap- preciable change in rates. Bonds were irregular. Total sales. par value $3.240,000.

relation to ether, which is omnipreSent anu which is believed to constitute all matter under different negative clec- trical conditions. In wireless teleg- raphv a series of HerZian waves is set up by powerful electrical dynamos or from the top of a high mast or pole. These waves extend in all directions. and unless their force is expended by distance they excite certain effects in the receivers of wireless telegraph in strumentS within the zone. just as the waves disturb chips on a pool. Mess ages are sent and received somewhat on the plan of ordinary Morse code by wires in that electrical impulses are regulated so as ts spell words according to a code.
 In recent years many kinds of re- ceivers have been used and the process is now simpler than formerly, but any successful transmission of waves de- bends d good deal on the state of the atmosphere, electrical storms being dis advantageous. Also when many wire less outfits are working in the same zone much confusion results and often messages are transmitted with great difficulty and sometimes not at all. This may account for some of the de- lays and confusion of the last few days. making d practical success of the dis coverieS of others, but to Hertz be- longs the credit of making the system possible.

HARE AND HOUNDS
 AT THE STATE FAIR
A New Feature Will Be Added to the
 Program

Imagine a long cared, long legged jackrabbit flashing down d race track at q speed that would make Dan Patch's famous stride look like the gait of an ice wagon, while a couple of greyhounds. fastest of the dog tribe. cut narrow streaks through the air in pursuit
 Imagine that and you will have imagined one of the entertainments which the fair commission will pro vide for the crowds which will attend Arizona's big show next November
 It is designed to have several sure enough games of hare and hounds There will be nothing slow about these races-in fact they will be about the swiftest events of fair week. Al most any bunny is capable of getting ovef the ground at pretty good rate of speed. But the jackrabbit is diff ferent. About the only thing that can outrun him is well developed grey hound or a comet. And comets not being available the greyhounds have been decided upon.
 Fourteen of the slim bodied canines have already been engaged and prob ably there will be more. The races will take place in front of the grand stand The distance will be three eighths of mile and two hounds and one rabbit will participate in each event The prizes have not been de- cided upon but they will be forth coming.
 In Los Angeles they have regular greyhound club and some of these famous racers will be here for the novel events. So, the people who arc looking for something new are sure to be provided for; and incidentally, here will be a sport that everybody will like.
