A STRONG MAN WANTED.


Thomas d. Jones, formerly Of this
place and for long period guiding
star Of the Mineral Point Zinc Works,
who CHANGED to be President Wilson s
personal nomination as a member of
the federal reserve board, has been
dropped by the presidents withdrawal
of his name per force of warning from
the u. S. Senate. The reason for the
senate's stand is plausible: That, as a
director of the international Harvester
company Jones is a defendant in a suit
brought by the government against
that corporation and its officers, and
he has openly approved of what said
company has done. Very good reason
of the senators. The country at large
know of the crushing game Of greed in
which the international Harvester com
pany has INDUCED.

The Wondrous Wireless.

The most wonderful Of all inventions
is the wireless. 1t destroys time and
space. The instant word is sent from
the Arlington station, near Washing
ton, it is heard in Paris. Space doesn't
delay it a particle. The electric spark
touches the ether here and Immediate
ly it is felt 1000 miles away. To com
prehend it is almost like finite mind
tackling infnity. 1t is known about
the electric force how it is produced
but exactly how the ether takes it or
sends it to Paris or back, no one in his
boldest fancy can conjecture. Nobody
knows what the ether is. Henry Wood,
the great new thought" philosopher,
said Mature has stored up in the
universe an infinite amount of energy.
The eternal recipient and transmitter
Of this energy is the ether. Now, call
this energy Gods mind and the other
Gods body, then we have the secret of
eternal life and the process of cosmic
evolution" We do not give this as a
specimen of orthodox theology by a
long ways, but only to explain the re-
lation of some mysteries and 10 show
how close the wireless is to the infinite
powers OF the Deity. Elk.

MENACE OF EUROPEAN WAR.

The old menace of general Euro
pean war suddenly looms up, large and
sinister. The new crisis brought about
between Austria and Servia, as the re-
suit of the recent assassination of the
heir presumptive to the Austrian
throne, is the central point of this
menacing situation, but there is not a
nation in Europe unaffected by the
maze of ramiications and complca-
tions. The war fever apparently burns
high in Austria, and If the latter pre-
cipitates conflict there is grave dan.
ger it may speedily spread and include
most of the leading nations of Europe.
Russia, Germany and Italy will be
most directly concerned, and in all
three of these nations warlike prepare
tons are going forward with feverish
haste and anxiety.
The threat of a general European
war is, of course, nothing new, but the
real significance of such possible con
flict is so appalling that even its mere
menace may be sufficient to prevent
what could be nothing short Of a world
catastrophe. The present situation is
told in the following paragraphs:
England endeayors to avert war in
Europe and suggests mediation plan
Austria threatens to send army
against Servian capital unless all de-
mands are complied with
Servian troops on board steamer on
Danube river fire on Austrian troops

bilized.
General mobilization of troops in
Montenegro is reported.
All Berlin fears war Kaiser reaches
Kiel to confer with Minister Of Foreign
Affairs Jagow.
Russia backs Servian's stand. Ger
man ambassador told invasion by Aus
trian troops will be opposed,

IT is claimed by the supporters OF
Mr.. Phillip, candidate for governor,
that he makes a fair challenge when he
suggests to his opponents that they Sc
lect one of their number to come out
against him and to stand on platform
of high taxes. Tut, tut. Such a chal-
Ienge is mere bombast and buster.
No candidate or voter has, does or will
take to such a platform. Those who
blunder while in public office through
lack of judgment and inefTiciency and
thereby burden the people with high
taxes are soon led to the politica
slaughter house, as they should be.

1t has often been suggested by char
itably disposed people that editors of
newspapers ought to be pensioned by
the government. One of the reasons
usually given is that, as a rule, they
are more public spirited than any other
class and continually give of their space
and means to the uplift of the commun-
ity without reward.
Often, when there is a chance for a
grateful public to repay in some meas
ure this editorial benevoIence, editors
fight shy of it, and generally see to it
that they come out, loser, if possible.
No other business attracts the dream
er so strongly as the newspaper bust
ness and dreamers are quite apt to
take their pay in "hope" alone. To
dreamers, as class it is said, we owe
all of our progress in the arts and
sciences and the fact that every work.
err can now make living with one
quarter of the body-racking toll and
sweat of our forefathers.
1t is pathetic that the editorial
dreamer with ideals so good should
fare so poorly.
These thoughts were suggested by a
foolish fight for the privilege of print
ing the proceedings of the board of ed
ucation in a distant city. No doubt the
said board would be glad to give the
publisher of its proceedings a profit of
20 per cent as that is generally con
sidered a small enough profit. They
would no doubt agree to pass the pro-
ceedings around so that in given term
of years each paper would get fair
show and all be happy. But no Com
petition. which is said to be ''the life
of trade" but often is the death of the
trader, must enter in and defeat a
benefit.
When viii the dreamers learn that it
is better to keep hands off of hot
contract than to suffer with burns
thereafter.
It's sad, but such is the dreamer s
wage Instead of a pension every
dreamer ought to have a guardian.
All respectable people are opposed to
gambling. In what is known as ordi-
nary gambling, the chances are sup
posed TO be 20 TO 90 per cent against
the gambler in favor of 1.-THE house. 4"
That is, the house figures to get all the
money in from two to five throws"
There is a form of gambling that is
INDUCED in by printers, largely because
of its fascinating character in whi-r
the chances against the gambler are
greater than SO per cent 1t is known
by the very respectable term of bid

rightly was entitled to the job at a
higher price, in order to recoup himself
but Of course had no chance. In every
such ease the odds are 100 to l against
