Critics of the president, men
who sit in swivel chairs and eat
comfortable dinners, men who are
SO fat that they would escape the
first, second and third drafts, men
who are more secure in their physi-
cal impunity from military service
than from the seclusion of false
Uitness-hers is a text for them
all.
These are days to try patience.
Mankind suffers more easily In ac-
tion than in rest. Mankind even
suffers more easily under snother's
action than under another's wait
ing. The proof is before the coun-
try today. As to the presidents
policy, there may he frank debate
and criticism. Free speech is only
outstripped by free thought and
the race is close. The president
would not have his policies ia the

else, %buttrcsscd in the corntry's
silence. But against the sniping

from bank vaults, may he be deliy.

Let the race here too, be close.

LAND OF CONTRASTS

Perhaps nowhere else in the
world is there a country SO full Of
contrasts as Mexico.
With a university established be-
fore John Harvard, Elihu Yale or
William and Mary we're born, the
masses of It's people are hopelessly
ignorant.
With a hospital founded before
jamestown was ever dreamed of, it
is one of the most backward regions
Of the earth in a medical way.
With natural riches greater than
those Of a thousand Midases, its
masses are inst as poor as the pro-
verbal church mouse.
With the constitution as perfect
rs any organic law in the civilized
world, it IS a nation whose rulers
always have been a law unto them
selves.
Here you will see a Mexican half
breed, hsre-footed, wearing a 81
pair Of trousers, a 80 cent shirt
and a SO sombrero.
There, at a single glance and
within the length of a single city
block, you may see su Indian car-
gador, a donkey cart, an o,-cart,
a carriage, a railroad train, a
street car and a motor car-almost
every type Of locomotion since
Adam.
You may tread the burning sands
of a tropical desert with the wet
Of perpetual snow of towering
mountains still upon your shoes.
You may take a single railroad
journey of thirty six hours in
which the people you see at the
railroad station will be dressed in
four different weights Of clothing.
Everywhere you turn there is
contrast, high lights and deep shad-

COMBINATION AGAINST WILSON

Halfway between presidential
campaigns the republican party is
without a candidate or an issue,
md the progressives have q candi-
date and an issue, but no party.
There is an old tale Of a man who
could not walk, who climbed upon
the shoulders of a man who could
not see, and one furnishing the mo-
tive power and the other the power
Of direction, the two cripples reach
ed their destination. Naturally,
some of the republicans and pro.
gressivcs are nov hoping to mount
the far-seeing Roosevelt upon the
shoulders Of the blind republican
party and so beat Mr.. Wilson in
the next race, says the Philadelphia
Record.

will prove as successful as the com.
bination Of the lame man and the
blind in the faole. 1t is easy

WIRELESS 1ELEGRApHY

Captain ". H. G. Bulard. u. S.
n. who is in charge of the naval
radio service, and who has his head
quarters under the shadow of the
three great steel masts which form
the center of the naval wireless
system at Arlington, Va, seven
miles from Washington, has just
presented to the Naval institute an
interesting review Of the develop
ment Of naval wireless telegrsphy.
The leaps and bounds of this de-
velopment are brought to pointed
notice when it is recalled that dur
ing the Spanish American war such
a thing as wireless telegraphy was
untried in the United States navy
or any other navy. 1t was dur
i g 1899, the year after the Span
ish-American conflict, that the
British navy became the first Of
all the naval powers to try the new
m-ans of communication upon the
thrre warships-AlexanGria. Eur
opea, and Juno. These ships sue
ceeded in communicating up to a
distance Of "a miles.
Today practically every vessel in
the United States navy is equipped
with apparatus for this aerial COM
m%unicatiou and it is so successfully
operate hat there is scarcely a
point in the seven seas at which the
bigger battles;'ips would be out Of
touch through relay, with the three
great masts towering over Captain
Billiards headquarters at Arlington.
In l907-05 ;he development of
the wireless seemed to warrant the
erection Of high powered stations
at Washington, en- the Pacifc.coast,
at Hawaii, Guam, Samoa, and the
Philippines. so that wherever it
might be the United States fleet
would be in communication with
Washington. The success of long
distance communication was es-
tablished during 1908, when the
Hawaiian Islands exchanged mes
sages with Farallon Islands, CAL,
and later during the cruise Of the
Atlantic fleet around the world
when messages we're received across
Central America by Pensacola and
Washington. By a system Of relays
the fleet WIS in touch with
Washington practically every min
nte during the trip across the Pa.
cifc until after New Zealand was
reached.
The Mexican trouble led to fur
Their extension to take place CT in
terrupted land lines and for cx.
changes with the ships. Isabel,
Texas, near the mouth Of the Rio
Grande. was chosen as the central
point of operation on the Atlantic
side and San Diego on the Pacific
side.
There are nC3 48 naval shore
stations, those at outposts points

mind hundred things that no
foresight can certainly provide
sgaipst.
1t is SO with nations; it has been
especially so with our nation. The
fathers looked over their work and
said to each other: at cannot
fail, SO magnificent will be the de-
yelopment that the government
will be a world wonder, and the
people will be drawn together in
its defense and become a living wall
between it and all foes"
But il even then had in its hold
an explosive that in four score
years caused almost its total wreck
and ended in thu mightiest war of
modern times.
One mistake in the original
treaty with Great Rritian, made
necessary the second war with that
country.
The underlying thought behind
the war with Mexico was to obtain
new territory in which slavery
might be extended. But that event
uated in the destroying Of slavery
and in supplying the government
with the means to carry through
the war necessary to make the land
all free.
President Mckinley tried his Ut
most to avoid the war with Spain
but some fearful tyrannies and
cruelties had to be slapped and the
tropics cleared of f~evers, and our
country was obliged to be the in
strument to carry the work
through.
The gold ring of New York and
London planned and carried
through the plot to demonetize
silver: the testimony of one ex-
railroad president during the past
few days has shown how like dead
sea apples the increased gold of the
conspirators must have seemed like
ashes to their parchud lips.
A commission at Niagara is
struggling to patch up a peace for
Mexico and are doubtless sincere
in their work. Probably their first
thought is to patch up a compro.
mise between the warning factions
and the chances are ninety to Il
hundred that they will forget that
any compromise with crime is but
a note drawing compound
interest, that, principal and inter-
est has to be paid eventually in
full. We strain our eyes to see,
our ears to hear, but those who are
setting the stage Of our country's
are invisible TO mortal eyes,
and unheard by Mortal ears, and
We can only wait until the curtain
is finally rung up and the lights
turned on Goodwin's Weekly.
