How Blotting Paper Absorbs Ink

From the Popular Science Monthly.
 Every student of physics knows that water will run up a narrow tube by capil- lary atraction. Anything immersed in water has similar attraction for the water; that is, the object becomes wet by the water that clings to it. The amount
 is limited by the weight of the liquid itself. Place your hand in water, and your hand, when withdrawn is wet The limited attraction between the hand and the wagter is gauged by the weight of the water that clings to the hand.

approval Of the presidents policies by
Judge Lovett.
GAS to the statement that President
Wilson played politics In the railroad
negotiations for an eight hour day.
reaffirm my opinion that he used his
best judgment in doing as he did. No
one can fairly accuse him Of playing
politics and while my views do not
correspond with his / concede that his
motive was honest He did not carry
the burden of the railroads or the
bortherhoods but that of the people Of
the United States.
There can be no honest denial Of
the fact that many Of the so-called
Wilson laws have stabilized business.
The Federal Reserve Act is one, the
Rural Credits Act is another. The
Child Labor Act was humane inteli-
gent thing. The Tariff Commission
was a common sense, much needed ac-
complishment The president found
safe middle-ground between the pa
cificist and the professional jingo, be-
tween 'mush' and militarism.'
"The Republican complaint against
President Wilson seems to be based
on the fact that he has changed his
mind at times"
Mr.. Underwood laughed as he said
this:
Possibly that is because he has q
mind to change Conditions are al
ways changing. Who can imagine a
worse condition than to have a presi
dent who is governed by preconcep-
tons; rather than by the needs of the
present?
"The spectacle of hundred million
people properly governing themselves
in a Democracy is problem; we
should be sane and decent and try to
solve it from the viewpoint Of all con
cerned. Leave what is well enough
alone
Here are two sane, sensible, discrim-
mating opinions of business men Of
great ability of President Wilson and
on the problem that is confronting the
American people today In the selection
Of their chief executive for the next
four years. Both disagree with the
president. both criticize his action.
And yet weighing, as the people
should weigh. the things against him
and the things for him, they unhesitat-
ingly assert the best interests Of the
country call for his reelection.

vice. Like many others, he was mis-
led by shrewd plea.
But after all. would his. opponent
have done differently? The latter was
silent until he saw the popular side OF
the question Not until then did his
indignation boil or find expression,
and most Of the house Republicans in
Guiding ex-Speaker Cannon voted for
the bill.
Nothing but Wilson's leadership
and firm stand from the first for
American trade rights secured to us
the enormous trade extending
through every line Of industry that
has brought employment and high
wages to millions Of workInen, and
huge profits to our manufacturers.
Let us do simple justice and remem-
Der these facts.
n business men refuse to support
Democratic administration which
deals fairly and befriends business,
what can they hope for from that par
ty In the future? II the Democrats
cannot count upon the support OF busi-
ness men under any conditions. Will
not the inevitable effect be to make
il the party nf the poor and the radi-
cal, and to make the Republican party
more and more llle party of the rich
and the reactionaries? 1t takes no
prophet to forecast the result Of party
cleavage upon this line.

THE MILITANT CANDIDATE

To use a military figure Of speech
which is a popular practice now, Can
didate Hughes is entitled to rank as
major-general on the offensive,
but when It comes to the Defensive
he is entitled only to the rank Of cor
poral.
His first speeches fairly bristle with
brave implications of what he would
have done. which would have held
Germany, the allies and Mexico in
meek obedience to our wishes. Yet
with all his bravado he has never def
iuitely told what had he been presi.
dent, he would have done. when Bel
gium was invaded; when the Lusitan-
ia was sunk: would he have interven-
ed in Mexico?
II his intimations to the nations at

course would have the effect he prom
isss?

State yesterday
1t is understood 6,400 names are af
fixed to the petition against the quar-
at time law, while about 5000 have
protested the game law. While not
certainly known by the Secretary oil
State, it is understood the petition
against the anti-liquor advertising law
failed to get signatures sufficient to
require an election and it is reported
that the men behind the petition claim
that one of these petitions was lost in
the mail Others are mean enough
to insinuate that the men pushing the
whiskey petition did not at all times
press matters for their friends, the
newspapers, and have left the papers
printing whiskey ads in the lurch.
The petitions had until last night to
file the remainder of the petitions or
affix additional names.
The Attorney General will prepare
an opinion relative to the ordering of
the election. General Collins last night
declined to discuss the matter. saying
he would give his opinion at the prop
eretime. Around the Capital, however,

twisted and broken planks and boards,
and save as much of 1t as possible. 1t
