Sir: Roosevelt has his hat In the ring
Has he any recollection of what that
means. and his promise of not accepting
another nomination? lie seems to be chary
In his long speeches of explanatory re-
marks
You can't judge by the crowds that greet
him as to whether he is 30 popular as to be
elected again any more than Bryan, who
lost In spite OF the biggest audiences. lie
Is tempting fate in opposing Taft, who.
think, will be elected again. a great num-
her OF people shout about progress or the
fast reform. but they condemn the judg-
ment that arises from haste In the duties
OF government.
admire Roosevelt and voted for him,
but his advice should rather be some help
TO Republicans and not a humliating at
tempt on Tatt's administration.

WIRELESS TELEPHONE INVENT
Ed.
Youths Assert They Can Send Mes
sagea Between 7c0 and 1000 Miles.

Proceeding along entirely different
lines from Professor Fessenden, Poulsen
MaIcom or any other great wireless in
Vcntors, two New York boys declare they
have perfected Il system of wireless tele-
phone with which they can send wireless
messages between 700 and 1860 miles, thus
solving problem on which thousands
of brains have been working for years.
They are Elman b. Myers, of No. PCS
West lo3d street and Clarence r. Bart
lett, neither of whom is more than q
years old.
Another remarkable feature Is that
neither Of the two youthful inventors has
studied at a technical school, although
Myers worked for short time with the
Poulsen company on the Pacific coast.
While there, he declares, he developed
his Invention until he could send 200
miles, and he says his present range is
greater.
Several experts have seen their instru-
ments in operation. the young men say,
and have declared them successful and
practical. The details Of the invention
they do not disclose, but they say the
secret lies in two small coils, and deals
with the principle of anomolous wiring.
AHe4 say eile3 nave dpplieu the primer
pie in an entirely new way, which even
most experts would not understand and
would declare impossible at first.
Wireless telegraph receivers can inter-
cept the telephone messages, the inven-
tors say, and this led, as they assert, to
a pleasant incident when President Taft
reviewed the battleship fleet in the Hud-
son last autumn.

Grapes off Brambe Bush.
While the Scriptures forbid God 8
people to judge one another they dc
commend TO us another kind of judy

of eondemning, sentencing, etc, those

entail, merely because they differ from
what we would expect; God knows
their hearts and to his own Master
each servant must stand or fall even
tually But while not 'Gondemning the
heart we are to judge of the outward
conduct. The parable which our Lord
in this lesson gives respecting the
gathering of grapes from hramble
bushes illustrates this point.
The House on the ROCK.
The closing parable Of this lesson Is
in fun tune with its opening verse. In
the first parable the blind who trust to
the leadership Of the blind fall into the
ditch In the parable now before us
the picture is that of a householder. Ii
he be wise he will not build upon the
shifting sands, which either Il wind
STORM or a rain storm may undermine.
aud cause a wreck, but he will seek a
solid rock foundation which win en-
dure the storm.
This parable illustrates two classes of
believers Both hear the Great Teach-
er's instructions and both believe and
rear faith structures and entertain
heavenly hopes. But one is more pro-
dent. more careful than the other One
seeks for the doctrines and principles;
Of the Divine Word, and builds his
faith structure Cpen that true founda-
ton which the Divine Revelation af-
fords. His faith cannot fail whatever
storms may assail: it is surely founded
on the Divine promises.
The unwise believer takes too much
for granted and builds upon the tradi-
lions of the elders, the creeds of the
Dark Ages. etc. He fails to appreciate
the necessity for having proper foun :
dation for his faith and his works. In
tire time of stress and stcrm with which
this Age will end all such will find the
foundation swept from under their
faith structure. There will be gem
eral fall of Babylon, as the Scriptures
ticclare-everything not well founded
upon the sure Word Of God Will give

Paul mentions the same class and APP
plies the lesson specially to Our day In

whose faith structure will fail viii
thereby suffer great loss. though them
selves may he saved as by fire-through
