REGULATING NEWSPAPERS.

REGULATING NEWSPAPERS.
The Newspaper Publishers associa-
ton, an organization of the principal
newspapers of the United States, has
secured an opinion from a distinguish
ed New York lawyer to the effect that
the new federal law regulating news
papers is unconstitutional. This is ev-
identity with a view to contest the
operation of the law. This law re-
quires two things of newspapers. One
names OF the owners, editors and man
ayers of the papers. The other IT,.
that the public be advised of the exact
circulation of the papers. There is nc
valid objection on the part of any hon
est publisher to these requirements;
and to object to such publicity Is &c
CONFESS either that secret influences
control the policies of the papers or
that the circulations are not what Is
claimed. Every reason that can be
urged FOR the regulation of railroads
or FOR the control of corporations can
be advanced with equal logic for the
regulation of newspapers to this ex-
tent. While it. is true that there is
more competition in the newspaper
fields, 1T is equally true that the evil
of the selfish domination of the policies
OF newspapers has grown to such pro-
portions that it is essential Ll.at the
influence of system-owned newspapers
be neutralized by publicity as to the
motives that actuate them. And tie
now recognized right of the government
to compel a manufacturer to label his
goods honestly and put them out for
what they actually are is exemplified
In the new law requiring publishers To-
state without equivocation what they
are selling when they sell advertising
space. The advertiser has a right to
Know what circulation he is getting
for his money.-Fort Scott Tribune.

| THE MAN WHO WON'T VOTE.
Not only in the primaries prefacing
the national conventions, but in those
| or more recent date, as well as in the
state elections in Vermont and Maine,
proof has been given that thousands
| of persons entitled to vote are not
exercising that right While the

| SO little of it that they will not 1alkl
as far as the polls to vote Considezt
ing the fact that in very few prirnar-

Gus parties been polled, ii looks very
| much as though majority rule in the
United States were being allowed TO
go by default. The fact that there has
been too much political agitation and
surfeit of elections. doubtless is caus-
ing much of the apathy. Prosperity,
too, is having its effect IN wearing a
path from office to home, with no
stop-off at the polling places. But
what assurance is there that pros eritS'

of the country refuse to contribute
their mite to the safe and sane gov

AN OPPORTUNE INVESTIGATION.
Senator Clapp's campaign fund in
vestigating committee has taken the
proper course in summoning practically
all those whose names have been in
voived in the current controversy.
There is no better time to probe to the
bottom of the question than the pres
ent, while a political campaign is in
progress. The disclosures. whatever,
they are. should have a wholesome in
huence in the present contest. and
should prevent the repetition of SINH
lar practice in the future. Enough
has already been done to show that
there has been much Hypocrisy with
reference to the whole subject in the
past, and to demonstrate that most
influence has been exerted by
the baser capitalistic interests. It IS
more than doubtful whether any Con-
gressional legfslt ton can touch this
evil. 1t must probably be corrected
through the influence of public opinion
and enforced publicity.-New York

DOUBLE REPORTS IN FIRING
Curious Effect Produced by Use Of
Maxim SiIeneer During Target
Practice.

Taking as his text the double report
noted during the firing on the battle
ship North Carolina during the recent
aerial target practice. Hiram Percy
Maxim writes: "Our experiments
with the Maxim silencer have devel-
oped many other interesting cases.
For example: II a rife equipped
with a silencer is fired down a rail-
road track having telegraph poles
along the side there is a distinct
crack heard for each telegraph pole.
II the rifle is fired from an open field
with tree or clump of bushes at,
say, 200 yards, there is heard a crack
from this clump Of trees. II there are
several detached clumps Of trees or
bushes over the open field, there will
be heard crack for each of them
If, instead of firing parallel with the
ground, the gun is ELEVATED and fired
straight up in the air, we hear no
noise at all, except the fall of the ham
mer and the puff Of the gases escap-
ing from the silencer
"The reason for this is probably as
follows: In the ordinary gun the re-
port noise is SO loud that 1t engulfs all
other sounds, and we are conscious of
nothing but report noise itself. 1t is
not until this report noise is annulled
that we can hear the bullet flight
noise. This latter noise, being made
out in the air beyond the gun, can
come back to the shooter only by re-
Election.
''If there is one object, we get one
reflection and one noise. If there are
many separate objects, we get many
separate reflections and separate
noises. If there are no rejecting OBJ
jects, such as when shooting straight
up into the air, then we get no re-
! fieeted noise

Trolley Rail Tuqboat.

Tests of a new touring system. In
vented by a German engineer, Herr
Koss, have recently been made on the
Dortmund Ems Canal, which give
promise that thS invention will be a
success. An elastic rail is laid at the
bottom of the canal, and the tugboat
carries at its bottom four rollers which
clasp this rail- These rollers are oper-
ated from the boat w.>,ch is thus pro-
PEELED. A large economy of power is
claimed for this method. The expert
mental tug is worked by electricity,
the energy being obtained through a
cable IRON an auxiliary boat equipped
with dynamo This, however, is on
ly an experiment. and in ordinary
working a trolley wire would be In
stalled alongside the canal. Electrl
cal operation can obviously be re
placed by crude oil motors, etc, each
barge being fitted with a set of rollers
acting on the rail.

MAsTER-SMITH OF THE DAY
Produces Steel Of Cutting Capacity
Surprising Work Of Legendary
Swordmaker.

We are all familiar with the old
time legends OF the master-smith. who.
by his skill at the forge. was able to
produce for the hero OF the tale q
weapon which should cut through the
armor of giant or wizard and main
tain its temper and edge against all
tests.
The modern industrial captain has
to cut his way also through metal.
and one of the notable achievements
OF the engineer and metallurgist has
been his success In the production OF
steels OF hardness and cutting ca
pacity which, altogether surpass the
finest work of the legendary sword
maker.
Not content with the manufacture
OF tool steel OF hardness, high-speed
cutting capacity and exquisite temper,
the modern master-smith has now pro-
duced a method of converting soft
iron or low-grade steel into tool-steel
OF the highest grade simply by the in
fusion OF the necessary proportion OF
carbon and other elements by>contact
and proper heat treatment, so that
keen-edged chisels may be made from
railroad spikes and machine cutters
from soft and inexpensive steel.
| Trials of cutting tools made by the
Infusion process at the ordnance bureau
Of the United States navy department
have given such remarkable results,
both as to cutting speed and endur-
ance, that the chief of the bureau
says: From the test of the Infusion
treated samples, it appears superior
to any hardening process now in use
at the naval gun factory" so that the
modern master-smith has outstripped
the tabled tales of the wizard weap-
on-maker of medieval times.
