EARTH'S PAST IMMORTALIZED
BY LIGHT WAVES.

Not the least of the wonders of
light is the truth that, through it's
agency, ordinary deeds and ordinary
happenings, as we'll as other kinds
of affairs in this busy world of ours,
are immortalized, according to j.
Gordon Ogden, in the current num-
Der of Popular Mechanics Magazine.
who furnishes some. interesting data
ON light waves.
We are accustomed to the idea that
souls are immortal, that energy can
not be annihilated, that matter can
not be destroyed, but what of this ex-
traordinary immortality of deeds?
Simply this: light that is reflected
or given off from an object carries an
image, picture of the object, with
it ON it's travels, no matter how long
the journey or whittier it may tend
When these image-carrying light
waves enter the eye, the picture they
bear is revealed, whether the waves
have been only the infinitesimal frac
ton of a second in coming from the
face of friend across the street, or
whether they have reached the eye
after jaunt of 100000 years through
space, from the flashing scintillations
of far-off star. Even as we see our
nearest star neighbor not as it il
today, but as it was four years ago
The hight that is reflected to this star
from our planet carries pictures of
the earth as it was AZ months ago
and any person, if at that distance
from the earth and equipped with
scne means of collecting the hight
waves, would see events and deeds
that had TRANSFERRED on this earth i'm
the year 1908!
Suppose We had such an apparatus
ami could out-travel light We could
Journey to the Pole star, 60 light
years from the earth, and behold, we
would see the earth as it was i'm the
year 1852! If We journeyed nine
years of light waves farther in to-
ward the earth, we would intercept
tho light pictures showing the fir
in On Fort Sumner in 1861. Even
though every book and every manu-
script, and every monument should
be destroyed, the gallant charge of
Longstreet and the incompatible
bravery of our northern and southern
soldiers, are written eternally on the

ABOUT FREE ADVERTISING.

Arizona papers are receiving many
columns of press matter with the re-
quest for free publication from vari-
Gus shows which are to be pulled off
ON the coast. San Diego and San
Francisco boosters send i'm several
columns weekly advertising their ex-
positions, and now San Bernardino
has an orange show on and is asking
for little free advertising. Los An
geles is about to pull off charity
iding affair, at least it is claimed to
be for charity, but in reality it is
another clever advertising stunt the
Ange' are working for the purpose
of getting the people from the desert
country to go inside and spend what
money they may have accumulated
since returning from their summer
vacation to the coast.
This office is weary from opening
letters containing free advertising
oore, and we wish our name to be
omitted from the lists of these graft
erS- exposition managers and press
bureaus not excepted. Why should
the papers of Arizona use their col
umns boosting money making prop
osition i'm California unless they are
paid for the service? Why don't
these advertising sharks ask the
ailroads to carry the people to their
towns free of charge as an added in
ducement for their hotels and bust
ness places to clean them of their
hard-earned cash? Because the rail
roads are run ON a business basis
and the newspapers, that is many of
they are run as charitable in
situations for the promotion of the
other fellows business free of charge.
San Diego and San Francisco will
receive millions of dollars profit
from their expositions, and these af-
fairs should be compelled to pay for
their advertising the same as the
home merchant or any other legiti-
mate advertiser. SO far as this paper
is concerned, it never accepts these
advertising propositions, and we
| would like to see all of the other
papers in this state do likewise.

The civilized world is confronted

The civilized world is confronted
with the stupendous fact that an eco
nomic revolution is upon it.
PERSONALLY, am chiefly concerned
with international industrial solidar-
ity," said Mann. "When this is once
achieved workmen will be all power
full on the industrial field and neither
capital nor governments will be able
to withstand the economic changes de-
termined by the workmen.
"The all-important purpose and the
immediate aim of the movement am
advocating is the reduction Of the
hours of work internationally. Our
ultimate aim is a six-hour day and
five and half day working week.
This eventually will eliminate en-
ployment.
From here Mr.. Mann will go to
Kansas City and thence to the Pacific

One Congressman
Fights for Party
(By Congressman Clyde H. Tavenner)

(By Congressman Clyde H. Tavenner)
Washington, Oct. lit is sharp
cry of warning which Warren Worth
Bailey, the fighting progressive DEM
ocrat from Johnstown, Pa, utters for
the benefit of his Democratic col
leagues in congress. Mr.. Bailey secs
the ingenuity of the tariff conferees
strained in an effort to provide bill
which will raise sufficient revenue to
run the government, and apparently
the revenue which is being sought is
as large as the revenue of the past.
AIr. Bailey wonders why this is so.
He was one who helped form the
Democratic platform at Baltimore, and
that platform denounced the Republl-
cans for extravaganza and pledged the
Democrats to economy, a plank which
Mr.. Bailey takes seriously. Why,
then, is it necessary to raise rates IN
the tariff bill to provide revenues as
large as has been available in the
past? The Pennsylvania congress
man believes it would be a good thing
if the new tariff bill should be drawn
not. 10 raise so much revenue as the
government has been spending.
Il am sincerely of the belief that it
is Of the first Importance that the
Democrats should cut the federal rev.
enues to the bone," he says. "They
have made the country believe them
Regarding what they have said about
Republican extravaganza, and the
country is going to hold them to a
str;ct account of their stewardship.
If they prove as wanton, as reckless,
as eXtravagant, as wasteful, as the
Republicans were charged with having
been, then so much the worse for the
Democrats. They will find it no easy
task to convince the country that an
other change is not desirable.
First OF all, would lay the axe
at the root Of the tree of militarism.
In no direction has the growth of ex-
penditures been so riotous as in that Of
army and navy appropriations. Hun
dreds of millions have been worse than
wasted on what they have called pre-
paredness;' and now all the big-navy
boomers and all the jingoes who shout
for more soldiers and more guns and
more Notifications are telling US that
we are farther from state Of pre-
paredness than ever.

suggested to the Democratic leaders
that in proposing to raise revenue
equal to that which the Republicans
have been wringing from the people
they were inviting profligacy, while
failing to keep faith with the country.

which we are spending on battleships

other naval and military items. AS
beginning / would be satisfied with
some liberal slashing here; and then
it might be advisable to slash more
or less when we reach the rivers and
harbors. In large measure the river
has ceased to be highway. Yet gil
gantic schemes for river improve
ments are in contemplation, and they
will be urged on congress with all
possible insistence, on the plea that
the waterway will provide an effective
check the railroad. This overlooks
the obvious fact that the railroad has
already put the waterway out of busi-
ness and that it laughs at water COM
petition.
Il don't pretend to know just how
much we are wasting. But feel sure
that it must be more than we would
waste were we to reduce the volume
of revenue through a general reduc
tion in burden of taxes. We have been
gouging too much money out of the
people. There would have been
revolution long ago had we gouged it
out of them by the rude processes Of
direct taxation. By the refined meth
DDS which are actually in vogue we
have done the job very handsomely ,
and without extorting more than a
complaint about hard times over
production and lack of confidence.

The Newspaper as a Detective.

Lord Northcliffe, the famous Brit
ish publisher, delivered an address in
Toronto the other night on the power
of the press. 1t was a remarkably
strong and convincing tribute to the
influence of the newspaper for good
in the world. Publicity, Lord North
cliffe holds, makes for progress and
the public welfare. We quote few
lines from his address:
II have said that publicity is the
master detective. l can name hun
dreds of cases in recent years where
evil men have been arrested who would
have got off scott free only twenty
years ago. Your highly trained read
ers of the six daily newspapers in
Toronto could probably tell me of as
many more. Let us look back to one
that is in the recollection of all.
Quite recently gentleman who dig
nified himself with the title of doctor,
by name Crippen, was arrested at
Father Point in the ST. Lawrence. That
arrest was brought about entirely by
the master detective / spoke Of. A
mysterious murder had been discov-
cred in London, and it was found then
that Crippen and companion had
disappeared. The newspaper machine
was set to work and published these
two damning proofs of identity-the
photograph and the facsimile of
handwriting. The facsimile was speed
lily found in a hotel register in Bel
GUM. The hotel people instantly rec
ognized the photograph published IN
the French edition of one of my pa
pers, as a man who had stayed there
and tried to book passage to Can
ada. AS Crippen and his companion
marched on to the gangway of the
ship at Antwerp for Quebec one of the
officers had the newspaper in his
hand. He compared things, and from
that moment the authorities in Lon
don and in Canada were able to watch
Crippen and his companion in their
journey across the Atlantic as if they
had been at short range in a ship of
glass"

Beautiful Girl Captured
With Gang of Pirates

She remembers little of the fate of
her father and the crew of the Santa
Maria, but, judging from tn many
atrocities which she has witnessed in
the intervening years, she tells Cap
tain Topham that she feels sure her
father and his men suffered hor-
rible death.
Esteila made many attempts to
communicate with passing ships dun
ing the years she was with the pirates,
but without avail The rough pirates
simply laughed at ner futile efforts
to escape. She has told Captain Tap
ham that she remembers that her
father had a sister living in Honolulu,
and the local authorities are endeaV-
oring to trace the woman.
Captain Tapham will not stop at
Honolulu, but will convey his 25 pris-
iners direct to San Francisco, where
he expects to have them all hanged,
as the evidence against them appears
to be overwhelming
By strange irony Of fate, Estella,

sideration, will now be the chief wit
ness against them when they face
trial. The pirates are said to be the

Honolulu, Oct. THE government
wireless brought 2 message which
told the chapter heading and a few
faint hints of romance worthy of the
pen of Robert Louis Stephenson.
From the revenue cutter Keokuk
Captain Tapham sends word that the
chase he has been making for months
after the pirate band of "Blackbirds," )"
who for years have been terrorizing
the smaller islands of the South seas,
has ben successful. He has captured
them to a man, after hard struggle.
Among them he discovered to his
amazement beautiful young Spanish
girl, Estella d'Ortez, adored and cher
ished by thepirates as their peculiar
treasure, and we'll treated by them,
though plunged amid scenes of murder
and ebauchery such as the civilized
world cannot imagine.
Estella has ben among the band for
10 yea srs. She was child of five when
she fell into their hands. Her father
was the captain of the trading schoor-
er Santa Maria, which sailed from Ma
nila{ 10 years ago and went to the
"poft of missing ships,' nothing ever
having been heard of her since. Evil
deritly, however, she ran afoul of pi-
rats. Probably the crew from the cap
tain to the cabin boy were murdered
