whose whole life is spent in mechani-
cal and scientific experiment. and who
would be the last o would think. to

of superstition.
Many airmen are evidently Of the
same opinion. for they pin their faith
on the oldest Of charms: and many of
them nave the strongest, though often

luck-bringers.

door Is made and thrown wide open?
If the skies are Frightening for the
republicans 1T Is because their claim
on the support of the solid and sub
stantial citizen is more valid than that
Of the other parties. In the winning
Of votes. he who offers prosperity and
protection has an argument the busi-
ness world has never rejected. Never
theless. II really looked as II the new
cry that We should be governed from
below, not from above. had caught
the fancy of the masses and would
prevail. Possibly a majority are still
of tina way of thinking. but as there
are W parties warning with each
other as to which constitutes the true
party Of the uplift. II looks like a d.
vision of forces at the ballot box. The
democratic candidate advocates the
breaking down Of the tariff as being
the road to the correction Of all pub.
lie evils. while the progressives put
firm faith in the recall as the stepping
stone to rule Of the people.
The three-cornered fight is sharp
and distinct. And although it Is the
popular notion that the republican
party Is divided. it Is true also that
the cause of the uplift has two rival
evangels. Reports Of apathy come
from practically all quarters. and 1t
is true hat the campaign has not
been attended with the usual display
Of enthusiasm. but the registration re-
turns coming in and the September
elections indicate a total fully up to
that Of 1908 in states which polled
only a third of their voting strength
at the presidential primaries.
With the outcome admittedly a
matter of doubt at this time. the re-
suit apparently will be determined by
the TWO weeks Of close campaigning
ahead and the votes of the predomi-
nant unknown quantity. The battle
Is yet to be lost and Won.

A comprehensive report outlining a plan

the measure as reported from the COM

The chief OF engineers Of the army and

they are used for campaign and election

Mr.. Lever made a vigorous attack on
Mr.. FITZGERALD, accusing him OF advo-
eating the wrong sort Of economy.

bill, made final appeal to overthrow

His appeal was without success. for

but that motion also was lost. Repre-
sentative Cannon's amendment increas-

by 50 to AZ. Representative Bartlett of
Georgia offered an amendment, finally
carried, to place the clerks on the roll Of
the House. to be appointed by members.
This, it was argued. would prevent any
member from receiving the money for
clerk and retaining any part Of it.
