PIKE RAPIDS PROGRESSIVE AS
ISOLATION

About forty members Of the Pike
Rapids Progressive association gather
ed at the school house in district 4

The National Progressive Republic
can union gives out that answers re.
ceived from the sending out of 1000
inquiries carefully distributed among
the republicans of Minnesota, shows
the party in this state still strongly
progressive. And as the progressive
republicans are generally independent
voters, primary winners must be pretty
well Of their style Of thinking, or they
are likely to fall by the wayside. This,
on the presumption, that the opposi-
ton party has sense enough to nomi-
nate men Of standing, ability and pro-
gressiveness in the various districts of

The cause Of women's suffrage has
been given another boost, President
Wilson announcing that he will vote
Tor the constitutional amendment
which comes before the voters of New
Jersey this month. It is said, however,
that the amendment is not likely to
carry. The president states that mis-
vote will be as a citizen of New Jersey
and not as a leader of his party in
the nation, and that he believes that
the matter is one for the states to set
tie and not the national government.
Neither does the president believe that
1T should be made a party question.

The straw is used in making horse col

perior to that threshed in the modern

TALKS 1900 MILES BY WIRELESS
TELEPHONE

Wireless telephony from the Allan
tic coast to Hawaii, 1900 miles, dis
lance greater than from Seattle to To-
kio, Japan, is an accomplished fact. By
the special wireless telephone develop
ments which have been made by the
engineers Of the Bell Telephone Sys-
tenn, speech was transmitted last
Wednesday night from Washington,
D. c., to wireless station near Homo
lulu. This last triumph came but few
hours after Theodore N. Vail, the pres
ident Of the Bell company, had talked
by wireless from New York to John
J. Carly, its chief engineer, who was at
Mare Island near San Francisco.
+ This wonderful wireless telephone
message from Washington to Hawaii
had to pass over the whole Of the Unit
ed States before it encountered the
more simple wireless conditions which
exist when sending over large bodies
Of water. For the purnose of this test
the sending was done from a wireless
station at Arlington, Just outside of
Washington. The receiving was done
on q small wireless station specially
erected for the purpose by the engin.
GERS Of the Bell company at Pearl Har.
Dor, Hawaii.
/ An interesting feature of the tests
was, the connecting Of the wireless tel
ephone apparatus with a wire tele-
phone line. Mr.. Vail in his talk used
wire from New York to Washington.
At Washington, by special means in.
vented and developed BY the engineers
Of the Bell company, the wires were
connected to special wireless apparatus
