THOU SHALT HAVE "sTEEL."

InOO SHAIu Rave olIe.s
Saturday morning, the Cedar Rapids
Republican observes, two dispatches
appeared in many papers, almost side
by side. One Of them had to do with
the report Of the congressional COM
mittee which has Investigated the
steel trust and especially it's absorb
ton of the Tennessee Coal and Iron
Co., by especial permission and
authority of President Roosevelt, dur
ing the panic of 1907. This part re-
lated to this subject:
The report of the majority Of the
committee Of the house or representa-
tives directed more than year ago
to investigate the U. s. steel corpora
ton was submitted to the house to-
day by Rep. Stanley of Kentucky,
chairman of the committee.
The report describes the various
steps by which j. P. Morgan and his
associates built up the corporation.
In addition to recommendations for
remedial legislation, the democratic
members made general accusations
against the men responsible for the
organization. --
Former President Roosevelt is In
dicted for making the control Of the
steel crust" absolute and is charged
with being responsible for the gigan-
tic stature which the trust" has at
tanned.
The United States steel corporation
is fayed as an enemy of organized la
Dor, accused of lowering the sociolog-
ical conditions of it's employees and OF
bringing in workmen and work meth
DDS un-American and foreign to the
best interests of labor.
At the same time, the Republican
adds, George w. Perkins, partner OF
j. P. Morgan in organizing the steel
trust and beneficiary of the watered
stock to the extent of many millions,
but now devoting himself to politics,
issued the following statement on his
arrival in Chicago:
"This is the right movement" said
Mr.. Perkins. "And it is the movement
which the people want, and will sup
port at the polls. The movement has
ample funds, and will continue to
have ample funds as long as It Is d.
rected in the high spirit which has
prevailed thus far. am extremely
hopeful for Colonel Roosevelt's cleo
ton in November"
If John D. Rockefeller should an
nounce that Prof. Wilson will have
ample funds, that he will see to it, the
Republican believes the statement
ought not to be more sensational than
the one made by Perkins. The steel
trust has its nerve and 1t also has
gratitude. t~

TO SOLVE AERIAL PROBLEMS
Hungarian Has Craft Which He Be-
IIeves Will Fly Easily Across
the Atlantic.

Alexander Kopesa, a retired Hunga-
rian army officer, has planned an air
ship which he declares will solve all
difficulties of aerial navigation. He
will start to build what he calls his
perfect" airship on the first of the
new year. Regardless of the weather
conditions in Chicago" he said, 81 will
make a trial flight on May 1, 1912. II
the airship proves what l am positive
it will, l will attempt to make a trip
across the Atlantic ocean in Septem-
ber." The new flying device, he says,
will travel on land or water as we'll
as in the air. According to specifica-
tions filed with the patent office, the
Kopesa airship will carry 46 passen-
gers. and on land or water or in the
air will make a speed Of over a mile
a minute. At the top of the contriv-
ance will be large compartment con-
tanning seven hydrogen bags for bal
ancing and added safety. Another
safety contrivance consists of four
air-suction devices that resemble the
fans Of a windmill. From the base
OF the hydrogen bags will stretch two
huge planes. spreading 229 feet from
Zip to tip. Just beneath the planes
will be placed two engines, each Of $50
horsepower. There will be 13 propel-

DAGUERREoTYPE COMES BACK
Prints on Silver Arc Again Coming
Into Fashion, Says
Photographer.

People are inclined to smile at
praise of the daguerreotype OF our
grand fathers" said photographer
the other day, but want to say that
the photograph Of the present day is
NO improvement on 1t for artistic del
icacy. for beauty and for quality. In
subtlety Of likeness, nothing ever has
equaled the daguerreotype of seventy
years ago. and those who possess any
Of them should treasure them as the
choicest heirlooms.
Most styles move in cycles. and It
is the same with photographs. Many
photographers are taking up the
daguerreotype again. In view OF the
advance in photography, 1t is now
possible to make daguerreotypes that
are permanent, for the originals were
wont to fade when exposed to light.
That's why they were always put in
covered cases.
There Is at least one very good
reason for the daguerreotype being bet
ter. and that is that there is nothing
but the camera lens between the sub
ject and the picture, and the only loss
is the reversal Of the subject An
other thing is that the highly polished
silver plate OF the daguerreotype
makes possible the greatest amount OF
detail. and the softer shadings, much
of which is lost in photographs today
by the rough surface of the emulsion
on the negative. by the opaqueness OF
the glass in printing, and the uneven
ness OF the paper"

Motor Trucks Need NJ Rest.

In a paper read before the Electric
Vehicle Association Of America, Mr..
Hayden Eames called attention to the
fact that horse-drawn vehicles must
remain idle for q certain portion Of
the day In order to rest the horses.
A recent investigation showed that
the teams Of the different express
companies in New York city were idle
40 per cent. of the total working hours.
much Of this idleness being Cue to the
fact that the horses needed rest, and
that the periods Of loading the wagons
had to be suited to these rest hours.
The motor vehicle on the other hand
requires no rests and hence requires
40 adjustment Of the loading hours.
