ing to the country. The cost OF living
is rising throughout the world. This

also true that the tendency of wages

have not the slightest doubt that
at this time Signor Ulivi has been able
to construct antennae and specially de-
signed receiving instruments and re.
lays by which he can explode at q

prepared charge Of guncotton or 9TH

operator at distance, but 1t requires
special receiving apparatus in the tor
pedo itself. 1t can perform what Is
expected of 1t, but 1t Is not practical
for the very good reason that the
operator cannot see far enough to ex-
ercise his judgment in the control Of
the instrument Take a motor boat
1000 yards away-you can't tell ex-
actly how she is heading. How much
harder then to judge the steering Of
a distant torpedo! The French navy
has already had trials with wireless
torpedoes, and what Ulivi has accom-
plished is probably an extension Of
these experiments.
Now, what mysterious power is 1t
that he has? Or, better, what Is Ulivi
trying to- obtaini
Briefly this: Some means of pro-
jecting energy through space that will
detonate some explosive at given
place, subject to the control of the
operator.
AS l have said, this is no new idea
Frank R. Stockton has 1t in his story,

G. Wells used 1t in THE War of the
Worlds" The same scheme has al
ready been proposed at the bureau OF
Ordnance of the navy, too. One in
ventor asserted that he had effected
combination of mechanism that
could project the Hertzian waves or
other wireless waves generated by
electricity and explode designated

COUNT ON SUBSIDIES
DemoraIizing Effect Of Protection
on Senators.
Men High In Government counsels
Seem to Think They Have Right
to Fatten on the Rest Of the
Country.

Tariff debate In the senate proved
that there are still many senators
who think 1t right and proper to vote
themselves subsidies out Of the peck
cts of American consumers.
Senator Warren of Wyoming counts
his sheep by the hundred thousand, If
not by the million. He has been call
ed the greatest shepherd since Abra-
ham" Senator Lippitt of Rhode ISL
and is one Of the biggest cotton manu-
facturers of New England. A tariff on
wool is a direct subsidy to Warren, a
duty on cotton goods is a grant in aid
to Lippitt One would think that the
most elementary sense Of delicacy
would make these men decline to vote
on matter touching their own inter.
est so closely.
But even an elementary sense of
delicacy is not common in official
champions of the Aldrich tariff. Sena-
tor Warren worked and voted for the
duty on wool. Senator Lippitt put up
a strenuous fight against reducing the
tariff on cotton goods. These two
men, both millionaires, did not hest
tate to vote themselves tax on the
clothing of every human being in the
United States! Nor did they stand
alone. Probably half the senators
who rallied to the support of the Aid.
rich tariff derive direct financial bene-
fit from that piece Of trust legislation.

Who Did III

Who slyly, surreptitiously and malig-
nantly blotted the fair page wherein
Prof Charles Mccarthy of the Uni
versity of Chicago wrote the antitrust
plank Of the Bull Moose platform?
Prof. Mccarthy says 1t was a good
plank, which resulted from a night
long conference between himself, Her
bert Knox Smith and George Record.
1t had teeth In 1t. 1t was the La Fol-
lette-Brandeis proposition done over
into the best English that the Uni.
versity of Chicago and the bureau Of
corporations had on hand, but, after
1t had been placed in the platform and
sent to the telegraph office, somebody
crossed 1t out.
Who did it? Who was the dentist
that pulled the fangs and molars and
made the antitrust plank of the Bull
Moose party as edentate as the nine
banded armadillo or a newborn baby?
According TO the story as told in
Chicago. one o. X. Davis was the man
who told the telegraph company to
suppress it. But Mr.. Davis was Sec
rotary of the Bull Moose convention
and as such must have carried out
the orders Of the convention. This
raises a query as to who was the con-
vention There are those who main.
tain that the convention was George
w. Perkins. Others think Col. Roose-
welt was the convention and still 9TH
ers take middle course and think II
was both Of them. Since one is chair
man of the board of the Harvester
company and the other a man who has
a. constitutional objection to following
any rules not Of his own making, there
is ground for suspicion that II Prof.
Mccarthy wants to know what be-
came of his pet plank he had better
ask them about 1t.

de Castelnau, assistant chief Of the
general staf of the French army;
Commander Ferrie, director Of the
wireless telegraph station on top Of
the Eiffel tower, Paris, and Captain
Cloitre, representing the French min
lister Of marine.
We have reported to our govern
ment," said General de Castelnau
seriously, land everything we have
said must be kept a profound state
secret"
1t Is no breach OF confidence to say,
however, that the commission has
unanimously reported In favor OF
France securing the invention without
delay, no matter what the price. This
consists, stripped of technicalities, of
special projectile emitting return in
fra-red rays which find the exact dis
lance and the exact electromagnetic
capacity of metallic objects. When
these are determined with precision
the Ulivi Fray" is then shot out
from its station afloat or ashore and
long distance explosion takes place in
stantly with mathematical accuracy.
This is not merely Ulivis hope of
revolutionize warfare. Experiments
made near Villers prove that it can be
done even with the unprotected ap-
paratus already put together. So &C.
curately has the protector worked that
two mines were placed five yards
apart at 1000 yards distance and
either one exploded at will, the other
remaining intact.
1t works as well by land as by sea;
1t can be applied to dirigible balloons
like the German Zeppelins.
And" declares Ulivi confidently
ut will render ship freighted with
explosive ammunition more dangerous
to those aboard her than to their own
enemies!"

Senator La Toilette did all one man
could to write his own views into the

had committed the work of tariff re-

was just and proper that Democratic
ideas should control the first honest
revision attempted in half a century.

Means to Do His DUTY.

Evidently the president has no no
tion of drifting through his terms of
office with the minimum of exertion,
leaving on congress all the RESPONSE
bility for inaction. Before the tariff
bill had got through one branch of
congress his plans for a banking and
currency bill were well advanced
While the currency bill was sticking
in the senate he began planning a
campaign against the trusts He takes
his election seriously, not as a tribute
to his individual merit, nor as a mere
piece Of personal good luck, but as a
call from the country to accomplish
certain things They will be accom-
plished before March 4, 1917. y
