BY HARRY ROOT.

Friends of ex-State Senator Harry
Gray say they are going to push him
as the Democratic nominee for con-
gress in the Sixth district. Recently
he moved from his farm in Osborne
county to Luray, in Russell county.
His friends thought so much of him
there that they elected him mayor. He
is one of the pioneer settlers in Os-
borne county. and owns several hun
dred acres his sons are now farming
for him. Mr.. Gray served in the state
senate from the Thirty-fourth district,
and has filled offices in Osborne
county. In the Smith Center Sixth
district Populist convention Gray was
the nominee for congress, there being
five candidates in the race in the 1906
election, w. A. Reeder. Republican;
John B. Rea, Democrat; R. c. Smith,
Prohibition, R. S. Thomas, Socialist,
and Harry Gray, Populist. Gray has
the health and money to spare, and II
he gets into the 1890 race he will make
an active campaign.
Charles Z. Mann, member of the
legislature from Osborne county, is one
of the editors and publishers of the
Downs NewsTimes. In the lastelection
his name was brought out for congress,
! but he declined. He was recently hon
ored in the special session by being the
first name called to preside over the
committee of the wHrole in the lower
house of the legislature.
E. T Thompson, assistant state
/ treasurer, is an active candidate for
the first place in this office in the next
election. He has been the assistant
SO many years that he thoroly under
stands the duties of the office. His
home is in Smith county, in the town
| of .Bellaire. All of his friends claim
! he will make a valuable successor to
! the present state treasurer, Walter
Payne. AS yet no other active candi-
| date has announced for the office
Thompson is popular, and his strict
attention to the duties of his office has
given him a state acquaintance.
Fred S. Hazelton, of Norton, is q
| Legislative visitor. Some of his frienes
are talking of him for state auditor
| He has been a booster for Norton and
northwest Kansas for years, and all he
has had out of it was an eight-year
lease of the postoffice. His wife is
one of the prominent club women OF
the Sixth district. She favors the
Pacific coast for their future home
while the husband believes there is
more in it for them to remain in Nor
ton.

SHOW WORLD AFLAME"
Americanism Picture Featured a
Orpheum by Manager Hooper.

Several hundred members of the
state legislature and Topeka news
paper men witnessed the private
showing of 1.-THE World Aflame" at
the Orpheum theater late, Friday
afternoon, by the courtesy of G. l..
Hooper, manager.
The story is based on the manner
in which Mayor Ole Hanson, of Seat
tie, handled the recent difficulties that
arose in his city.
The picture carries a lesson that is
embodied also in the talks or some of
the greatest thinkers of the age. 1t
points out that the time has come
when American labor must be led by
Americans. Just as General Pershing,
General Wood, and many other prom
inent men have declared themselves
in favor of deportation for the alien
radicals who cannot become Ameri-
cans, SO does this drama indicate the
same trend. Turnout the whole story,
the idea is illustrated, that the solu
ton to, difficulties Is thru cooperation
and increased production.

An Ambitious Scheme

A company has been formed in Eng
land for the purpose of operating feet
of airships to various parts of the world.
The syndicate desires to acquire ground
near Southport, where it proposes to erect
a tower 120 to $50 feet high to which air
ships may be moored, and an elevator
will take the passengers up the tower and
into the gondolas of the ships. The syn
dictate intends to have fleet of nonrigid
airships in commission next spring; the
smaller will carry 81 passengers and crew
and the larger 40 passengers and crew.
The company also anticipates running
some of the larger rigid airships now in
course of construction. These will have a
carrying capacity of $50 passengers and
be able to travel to any part of the globe
1t is proposed to use the smaller non-rigid
airships to feed the larger ones and meet
them at the principal centers. The cost
per mile is put at about half the cost Of
taxicab fare today, approximately about
IS cents per mile.-Exehange.

Atomic Forces

Only few years ago it was the teach
ing that the atom was the smallest divi-
sion of matter, and today scientists are
discussing the possibility of the race learn
ing how to use the force which would be-
come available with the unlocking of the
latent atomic power. Professor w. A.
Noyes discussed the relations between
atoms and electrons, which form part of
atoms, in his address upon being awarded
the Willard Gigs Medal, and stated that
electrons probably rotate. This would
make the atom a sort of miniature uni
verse in which its nucleus would cores
pond to a sun and the electrons to the
revolving planets.
Sir Oliver Lodge in a recent address,
also spoke of the latent atomic power
which he considers so very great that it
would be disastrous to have it become
available to men before moral plane
high enough to prevent its abuse has been
reached. He thought that way to re-
lease this great power is not beyond the
possible and some day it may supply a
satisfactory substitute for that now OBJ
tanned when molecules, made up of
atoms, are shattered by combustion of
fuel or other chemical processes.-Ex.

Our population has decreased greatly

, Although Spring is here we have not
observed any of the male species wearing

Last Sunday, the first day of Spring
was as fine an opener as we have had in

severe storms for the next twenty days.
The heavy wind Tuesday night, the

Carpet Weavers of India

Carpet weavers of India work in a
long, narrow shed, straw-thatched, with
out any walls, open to sunshine and the
ftful breeze that stirs the swaying plume
like leaves of the slender palm and cocoa
nut trees rearing their tall, proud heads
above it. Four or FIVE or even more boys
sit on wooden boards on the mud floor in
front of the old-fashioned loom, their feet
resting in a shallow pit underneath it,
dug especially to receive them. In one
corner squats a man, his back probably
turned to the weavers, his eyes dreamily
gazing into space or quite shut, droning:
"Three magnet, two green, five blue, one
orange" and so on. His sleepy sing-song
sounds, to one unfamiliar with his Ian
guage, like the babbling of one talking in
his sleep, or like muttered prayers. But
he is neither dreaming nor performing
his devotions. He is debating to the boys
at the loom the colors of the thread that
each respective worker is to twist about
the particular strand on which he is
working. The lads obey his commands
as mechanically as if they were automa-
tons. None of them knows aught of the
scheme of the carpet, nor is any of them
conscious of the progress that is being
worked out on the other side of the carpet
from that on which the weavers gaze
