Mr.. Business Man, you can think right
now of hundreds of instances where a
Day Letter or a Night Letter would have
saved the expense of a trip, captured a
doubtful order, flashed an important
inquiry and brought back the infor-
nation on the Jump.
Analyze your territory and you will find
that Western Union Day Letters and

! THE TRUSTS
He Would Jail Men Who Stifle
Competition
GOES AFTER T. R. HARD
Says Speed Does Not Make Progress
sive-Gives Attention to Steel Trust
and the Progressive Party's Plank
as He Enters Twin Cities.

Minneapolis, Sept l9.How the Unit
ed States Steel corporation incidentally
would benefit by the plank in the Pro-
gressive party platform proposing regu'
lation of trusts by federal commission
was argued by Governor Woodrow Will
son in his speeches as he passed from
Sioux City, Iowa, to Minneapolis and
st. Paul yesterday
1t was at Sioux Falls, s. d., that the
Democratic nominee first drew atten-
ton to the origin of the Progressive
plank for handling the trust problem.
"The method now proposed of regulat.
ing the trusts was suggested in the
inquiry by the House of Representatives
into the steel trust, and it was sug.
gested by Mr.. Gary and George w. Per-
kins," he said. They thought this
thing out 1t may be, for all | know,
that they honestly think that is the way
to safeguard the business of this coun-
try. But whatever they think, this they
know, that it will save the United States
Steel corporation from the necessity OF
doing business better than its eompeti-
tors. For if you will look into the sta
tisties of the United States Steel cor
poration you will find that wherever
it has competitors, the amount of the
product which it controls is decreasing;
in other words, that it is Tess efficient
than its competitors, and its control of
product is increasing only in those
branches of the business where, by pur-
chase and otherwise, they have a prac-
teal monopoly
Moreover, | have this to say to the
workingmen: Garry out the plan of Mr.
Gary and 81 Perkins, and you will have
given control in the market for labor
which will suit these gentlemen perfect
ly. They don't want competitors in the
market for labor, because new COMPETE
tors viii mean new wage scales. and
these are the very men, and almost the
only men, who h'.Ye 81 ecssfully opposed

economy and efficiency.

Dyeina.

The practice of dyeing is SO ancient
that 1t would be folly to attempt to say
where or when 1t originated. The
place or period of its genesis no one
can tell or even guess. As far back
as history or tradition can take us we
find the dyeing vat Phoenicia was
famous for its rich dyes, as was Egypt
also. Modern chemistry does not seem
to add much to the efficacy of the art
The colors of the most ancient times
of which we have any knowledge were
as fast" as eny that can be made to-
day. In fact. 1t is held by some au-
thorities that the men of four or Eve
thousand years ago possessed secrets
about dyeing that would be greatly
appreciated by us II we could get hold
of them.-New York American.

the exception OF the indoor mark at

gained In the two mile indoor event in
1904. and for several years after that
be was known as the indoor king be-
cause at that time be could not dupli-
cate the times outdoors that he made
under cover. He practiced assiduously
and finally showed the skeptics that he
could run nearly as fast in the open as
on the board tracks. From that time
his popular sfitIe has changed to the
distance king. and he proved his right
to that title among Americans by being
the FIRST from the United States to fin.

Job,.on After Nav umpire..

While every baseball magnate is
looking for star players, President
Johnson of the American league is
keeping his weather eye peeled for
umpires who can stand the big league
pace. Three years ago President john
son didn't give his umpire staff a
thought. for he was perfectly satisfied
with its makeup. Three years time
can bring a lot of changes In the per-
sonnet of a big league umpire staff, as
President Johnson is now aware.
Never In the history of the two ma
ior leagues has there been better
chance for the ambitious youngster to
win berth in the majors. There are
Vt least three places on the American
league staff that are unsettled. and an
Equal number exists In the National
league. 1t would not be at all sur
prising If both major leagues sprang

Capture and Loot Town Near
the Capital

Washington, Sept. l0.-The cruiser,
Des Moines, the first American warship
to appear on the eastern coast OF Mex
leo in more than year, is expected at
Tampico to-day. The state department
made it clear that while United States
warships were expected to extend pro-
lection TO American or other foreign
in case local authorities could
not protect them, their commanders have
been strictly enjoined to take no part
in the factional fighting incident to the
revolution. The Des Moines will cruise
between Tampico, Vera Cruz and other
eastern ports. She will be the first
United States cruiser to appear on the
east coast since the gunboat, Wheeling,
made flying trip to Vera Cruz during
the Madero rebellion, On that oc-
casion the Wheeling was recalled north
ward at the suggestion of the state de-
partment, which feared that the appear
ance of warship so near to the City OF
Mexico might be construed as indicating
a purpose to intervene in Mexican poll
tics. Now, however, the department has
concluded that United States warships
may resume the practice of touching at
Mexican ports on their ordinary cruises
without fear of misunderstanding as
to their purpose,

the reflections will seem to revolve

You can make the same experiment
with one of the very bright stars, such
as Sirius. Venus or Jupiter, but with
these there will De three images in

The explanation is quite simple. There

Philadelphia baseball experts say
"Stuffy" McInnis of the Athletics is
the most valuable first sacker in the
game today. They claim he is far
more valuable than Chase or any other
FIRST baseman and has the box scores
to prove it. McInnis is harder hitter
than Chase. and there is not much diff.
ference In the fielding. Chase may
make more brilliant plays IN season
than the youngster, but for steady, sure
and conscientious work, game in and
game out, there is nobody who has any
thing on the Philadelphia boy. He is
adaptive to team play and club dis
cipline and fights to the last "Stuffy"

for the love of the game than for his
