FIELDER SURE OF VICTORY

/ Borah, of Idaho, whose political sit
uation is very much that of Stokes,
both having been for Roosevelt until
the nominations were made, and af-
forwards conspicuous for their ST.
lence in the presidential campaign.
Proposes Passenger Post.
Asserting that all methods of pub
lie transportation and communication
should be under public ownership
James L. Cowles, secretary of the
Postal Progress League, today is
sued here a statement proposing q
program for a general freight and
passenger post under the control OF
the postoffice department.
"A general freight, passenger and
intelligence post" says Mr.. Cowles
will practically abolish poverty
Opening up the whole world to our
common use. it will go far to Nbolisf
that death-dealing fear of poverty
that is the chief cause of insanity
/ and of crime"
Passenger fares ranging f. nm five
cents on local trains to not moro than
one dollar for any distance on through
transcontinental trains, would be en-
tirely practicable. says Mr.. Cowles. if
the people owned the railroads. These
low fares. with freight rates of not
more than dollar ton between any
points in the country, would result in
better distribution of population, bet
ter wages, lower cost of living and
adjustment of poverty, says Mr..
Cowles.
The Progress League officer opposed
the present parcel post zone system
when il was before Congress. and
declares the zones and discriminating
rates should be abolished. and rates
made very much lower His proposal
for an ideal parcel post, which he
saws is practicable, is as follows:
| Sealed letters and valuable pack
ages up to one pound in weight, re-
| curing preferential delivery, cents
ordinary parcels. sealed or unsealed
up to one pound, cent; parcels one
20 five pounds. > cents; from five te
| eleven pounds, cents; eleven tc
thirty pounds, 10 cents.
| The maximum size of parcel post
packages, Mr.. CoWles urges, should
be raised at one to 200 pounds, and
the rate for 200 pound parcel any
where in the country should not be
moro than % cents.
Ten Out of 1000 Are Removed.
| In answer to the resolution intro
duced in the House by Representative
| Kahn, of California, calling for al
| inquiry as to whether the civil serv-
| ice rules in the government printing
office are being observed, Public
Printer Cornelius J. Ford, OF Jersey
City, today declared that there hs1

| plant.
! 1--WE made a number of changes fol
what believe to be the good of the
SERVICE" said Mr. Ford. land the re-
suits have justified all these changes
Most of the changes have been merely
transfers of men from one job to an.
other. Out of the more than 4,00(

ram SDdILeTGQ UPON Inc SluSN Glhs
There came into the lobby of the
hotel a man upon whom my attention
was Immediately fixed. He was tall,
slender. of somewhat ungainly figure
and he walked with sort OF shut

been due to the accumulation of slush

half cloak, but 1t must have been very

tected the wearer from the weather.
This mans face was a study. He
had O. small mouth, thin lips. rather
large nose and high cheekbones, and
from his eyes down suggested the true
ascetic. But I observed that through
his spectacles he flashed glances from
very bright and highly intelligent
eyes and that his forehead was broad
and his head nobly proportional above
his eyes. Any one not knowing him
would have said that he was all in
tellect. and that he had no passions,
good or bad. excepting the one which
was created by intellectual power

authority which knowledge gives.

Metropolitan National Bank Bldg,
WASHINGTON, Oct. 30.
Governor Fielder and his campaign
managers regard the political situa-
ton in New jersey as SO satisfactory
and the outlook for Democratic VIC
tory so bright that they do not con-
slider II necessary for the President
to come into the State to make a
speech.
This is the situation described at
the White House today.
The President has been willing to
go to New Jersey to aid in the Fielder
campaign. and left it entirely to the
Fielder managers to decide whether
or not he should come. He has en-
gagements for a Southern trip next
week, and other arrangements which
would have made it difficult for him
to do any campaigning, but he in
formed the governor and State Chair
man Grosscup that he would change
his plans to enable him to make at
least one speech in the State if they
considered it necessary.
Within the last day or two the re-
ports received from every part of the
State have convinced the State chair
man and Governor Fielder, SO they
have telephoned to Washington, that
the election of Stokes, and that the
only doubtful question left is that of
the size of the Democratic majority.
The reports received here are that
the Stokes campaign has been badly
shot to pieces by the attacks on the
former governors record and corpora
ton Affiliations, as made by Fielder.
by former Governor Fort, by Everett
Colby and in the letter written by
George l.. Record.
1t is also reported that the Repub-
lican managers of the Stokes cam
paign have been greatly disappointed
in their failure to arouse the enthu-
siasm they expected to work up
among the Republican leaders of ma
tional repute. II was planned to- have
the entire Republican forces of the
country join in making the New Jer-
sey campaign a pivotal one. Every
big Republican speaker possible to
secure was to take the stump in the
State, money was to be poured in
from every direction, and every effort
was to be made to win with Stokes,
so that the word might go out to
the country that President Wilson S
State had gone against MIN, and the
Republican party was coming back.
Emissaries of Stokes, so the story
goes, went to prominent Republican
politicians and big business interests
with this program, but it failed to
work The money. it is said, was
more easily obtained than the speak
ers and support of prominent Repub-
Leans.
Republican senators and members
In Congress did not take to the
Stokes notion at all They are all
willing and anxious to have the State
go Republican, but the fact that
Stokes was for Roosevelt in the ma
tional convention last year fairly we'll
cut him off from the main body of
his party, with whom a Roosevelt
Republican is almost as much hated
as a Progressive. The only Republic
senator who could be induced to show
himself in the New Jersey fight was

an unloading crane has been installed
for every siXty-five feet of quay
Among others there are $50 three-ton

The quay sheds arc 200 feet wide, and
their switch tracks connect them with
railways running to every part of

From the harbor to the open sea,
fifty miles away, the old fifteen-foot
channel of the Elbe has been deep

dredges are now at work lowering the
bottom to forty feet. Traffic across
the river is carried by several bridges
and a tunnel for pedestrians and
teams. The tunnel consists of two

Another wonderful electrical diseov-
cry has been made by Signor Ulivi. an
Italian engineer, while experimenting
with electricity and light. A. new
force made up of electrical oseilla-
tons, called "F rays was incident
ally developed which will cause the
explosion of gunpowder or similar
substances at any distance when en-
cased with metal coverings. In ex-
periments made at Havre Signor Ulivi
exploded powder contained in metal
boxes, floating OF submerged, to a
depth of 81 feet. at a distance of
nearly eight miles. The ONE CORE
spondent of the London Daily News,
describing Signor Ulivis machine,
says:
1T is light, portable, small and cas-
lily fixed in the cabin of a ship or
mounted on a motor car. Naturally
its use is equally possible on land and
sea, as + rays can cause explosions
in the magazine of a battleship as
we'll as in a fortress or even artillery
on the march. F rays, too, can be
used against dirigibles. provided they
have a metal framework. Thus the
Zeppelin airships could be easily
blown up. as the sparkling of the metal
would cause an explosion of the gas
envelopes.
"Signor Ulivi hopes that f rays will
lessen considerably the cost of arma-
ments, as they will render artillery
useless: f rays can also be used in
stead of a telemetre to. discover the
whereabouts of hostile feet or hid
den artillery
Not only can the rays be used as
weapons of oifense, but they have also
Industrial and practical applications,
such as the discovering of metal ore
in mineral districts. f rays pene-
trate the walls of the soil and even
water and their practical utility is
most varied
Machines of this kind in good work
ing order would revolutionize present
gunpowder methods of warfare and
make further building of big warshlps

has given the italian government the
first option on his momentous dis

Che Shores Of Sleep

At last our ways have found their utmost goal
On the gray single of the unbordered sea.
The shrill, insstent voices of the world
Are stilled behind us in sudden hush,
And the harsh tumut of unhallowed years
Dies in the swaying silence of the deep.
In the far regions of the purple dusk
Forgotten visions stir; and, dimly known,
Peace dreams in the untroubled ocean depths
Washed in the flowing silver of the stars.
So far, so faint as of mightier ocean
Beyond the shadows of the world, there beats
The ebb and flow of time and life and love
Down the dim reaches of eternity.
Sleep after weary toll Night folds about
The velvet mantle of her endless tides
And the low voice of 1olier dawn
Blow from the isles of slumber in the sea
