iOPPOuOHto Uy u0CldTluS III tue course of controversy with Senator Penrose
 T beg to say just at this juncture that
 we are satisfied with the fact that we
 have the Republican goat at this time.
 The Situation at Washington
 The questions of revenue and tariff
 have successfully passed the red light of danger and the ship of state is now
 abreast the green light of caution
 while the administration declares that
 the white light of safety is just around the corner. And there is added to this the promise of better conditions for the people who inhabit the broad acres of the Golden Republic, insofar as the party in power can afford it. Every effort is now being directed by the ad- m1nistratiOn and it's forces to secure the passage of the currency bill, and |simmered down the principal opposi- tion against the measure is the fact that the officials who will control the federal board and the regional banks will be selected by the President. It is further claimed that the greatest fi- nancial interests of the country have not been taken into the confidence of President Wilson, and therefore the feelings of Midas ct al have been so badly hurt that they twill not play" Those who have studied the new cur rency meaure are agreed that it can not succeed without the cooperation of the banking interests of the country and many criticisms from districts re- moved from all the larger cities are to the effect that the so called country bankers do no carry a large amount of short time paper, which is essential if they are to cooperate in the benefits of the new legislation which is designed to place tn eresour- ces of the central or regional banks at the disposal of the local banks. Tc the critics the administration leaders retort that anyone can go to an oculist and get glasses that will make the world look topsy turvey and the obser- vation is supplemented by the state ment that great many people have this class fglasses. Nevertheless the currency legislation has not been entirely as partisan mea- sure, although the President declares that Democrats who are not "rebels" will support him. At present the concern is whether the dilatory Sen ate can be stirred up sufficiently to enact bill before the regular session in December.
 The AIuring Chatauqua
 It would seem that Champ Clark is always obliged to cancel his Chautau- Iua lecture engagements. Last year and the year before he had to deprive himself of this grand source of profit, | md now hot upon the heels of he an- | that Secretary Bryan has | cleaned up" $6500, the venerable | statesman from Pike County, Missouri, | las let it be known that he must stay | most of the time in Washington, look ng after the affairs of the nation, md thereby deprive the Chautauqua patrons of the luxury of listening to lis elOquence. As a substitute MT. | Clark will make a number of address es in nearby cities during the short ecesses of the House of Representa- ives.
 Improving the Talking Machine
 Out of the large number of inven- ions pertaining to talking machines, here has appeared in the Patent Of ices a simple clarifying, articulating, mplifying attachment for these ma hines, which M. B. Claussen, the in entor says was discovered by the ac- idental touching of fine needle with he finger while a record was being layed.
 MT. Claussen in his statement for he benefit of the Scientific American aid that ."he immediately conceived he idea that if he could add power to ] he vibration of this fine needle it yould produce all there was III the ecord with volume equal to that of l
 heavy needle, without any of the |; eavy needles effects such as scratch nd undertone." By means of a disk : ttached to the needle near it's point { he desired volume was obtained, and
