FIGURES roINT TO WILHON
f FlfUi or Moose Vote of 191 a Kiiongh
to Re-elect Him Hhis 'mr
The following Is an extract from
dispatch sent from Chicago, under
date of June 23, by Gllson Gardner,
a Washington correspondent :
What Is to become of the Progress-
Ive party's TOteT
This is the most Important Ques
tion In the political situation.
Will It go to HughesT
Will it go to Wilson?
Will It Btay at home?
Will It divide up? And in what
proportions?
What will be the consequence ?.
Part of the answer Is as follows:
Eight of ten Progressives were for
merly Republicans, and when their
. own party has collapsed, their drift
will be back to that party.
There are two of ten and muybe
more who will be Irreconcilable.
Their prosressivlsm means so much
to them they never again can associ
ate themselves with the forces of re
action. - They will become Democrats
or Socialists, or they will not vote at
all.
Will this insure Hughes' election?
Not necessarily.
Remember how the votes fell four
years ago. Wilson. 6.000.000:
Roosevelt, 4.000.000; Taft. 3,000.
000. Those were round numbers.
The total of Taft and Roosevelt
vote would be 7,000,000. Just 1,
000, 0Q0 more than enough to defeat
Wilson.
How defeat Wilson?
What more simple
Wipe trot the Progressive party,
and poll all the Progressive and Re
publican vote for the opposition can
didate. Note the "all."
6 Suppose a fifth of the Progressive
vote- is irreconcilable. 8uppose 1.
000.000 of the 4,000,000 Progress
ives decline to be delivered to the
Barnes-Smoot-Penrose combination,
even by Brother Perkins and Colonel
Roosevelt.
The action would be Wilson elec
tion anyway.
I have no desire to plunge thus
early into prophecy. It is not neces
sary. But it will interest, those who
are Interested in the country's wel
fare to see that the bag has not been
sewed upltnd weighted with a brick.
The cat is still at liberty to Jump.
If I were placing a small bet at
the present time, and were placing It
on the basis of "political form," that
small bet would be laid on Wilson.
Of course, this goes only for "the
present time."
HUGHES HELD UP INCOME TAX
Unfounded Objection Delayed Adop
tion of Organic Amendment v
Prom the New York World:
When Mr. Hughes was governor of
New York, one of his most notable
ventures in the field of national poli
tics was his message to the legisla
ture, January- 6. 1910. recommend
ing tho rejection cf the Income Tax
amendment to the constitution of the
United States. '
In this communication Mr. HughcB
expressed approval of such a tax. but
A found a fatal defect in the proposed
w amendment because it conferred up
on Congress power to tax incomes
"from whatever source derived." To
accept such a principle, he said,
would be to make state and munici
pal bonds subject to federal levies
and to impair the borrowing power
and the essential rights of the state.
Such an attack upon a reform
which at that time bad gained little
headway, only eight, states having
ratified the amendment, made a pro
found sensation. It waB soon prov
ed by Senator Root and others that
the legal point raised by. the gover
nor waa without merit, for the pow
er which he regarded with bo much
Atatavnr waa AlrendV embodied in the
constitution. The object of the
amendment was not. -as- he inrerrea,
to extend national authority, but to
repeal that provision of the constitu
tion which provided that direct taxes

exemption of state bonds by the na
tion and of national bonda by the
states was left as it had been from
thn nmt. a matter of comity and not
of law. Six years later Mr. Hughes

Hughes misadvised did not act upon
the matter, but the body which sat
In 1911 had a Democratic majority In
both branches and the amendment
was promptly ratified. While the Is
sue presented by the governor was
quickly disposed of In its legal phras

DHMOCltACY IS V. . NAVY
Act Permitting Appointment of Fji
listed Men More than Justified
From the Santa Barbara (Cal.) Dally
News:
Two years ago, on the recommen
dation of Secretary of the Navy Jose
phus Daniels. Congress was induced
to pass an act providing for the ap
pointment of 16 enlisted men to the
Naval Academy each year.
Officers of the navy were scandal
ized. For a common sailor to be
permitted to aspire to become an of
ficer of the navy was unheard of. And
Daniels was roasted.
Nevertheless. Daniels got the law
through, and the first examination,
It may be that treating enlisted
men decently, providing educational
advantages, and opening some oppor
tunities to them for advancement to
positions as officers Is bad- for the na
vy, but If so, then we are strong for
that kind of a bad navy.
The French army and the Swiss ar
my do not find that, it militates
against discipline for officers and men
to associate on terms of equality
when not engaged In strictly military
duties. And our caste system of mil
itary snobbery is inconsistent with
our professions of democracy and
equality, and has much less excuse
for evlstence In America than a sim
ilar system has had in Europe,
held about six weeks after the law
waa enacted, resulted In the qualify
ing and appointment of five enlisted
men. ' Last year eight men qualified,
and thla year, it is announced, 23 en
listed men have Just passed the ex
amination. As the law only permits
the appointment of 15 Secretary Dan
iels has written to the ehairman of
the Senate and House committees on
Naval Affairs, requesting congress to
authorize the appointment of all 23.
In the meantime, the appointment of
the 15 who stood highest will be
made immeidately.
The Increase from 5 men to 23 in
three years demonstrates the efficien
cy of the educational plan put Into
effect by Secretary Daniels when he
took up the duties of secretary of the
navy. For this also be Has been
harshly criticised.
Notwithstanding the criticism, un
der Daniels' administration the navy
for the first time in its history has
recruited its strength up to the num
ber authorized by law, and actually
has had a waiting list

placed in the corners at the Junction
of the web and flanges form one of
the unusual features of the girder.
The legs of these angles are 8 inches

is made of one piece running the full
length of the girder. They are said
to be the longest angles of thts size

BIRDS CAUSE OF ACCIDENTS
Many Mishaps on Railroads Have
Been Traced to the Actions of
the Feathered Tribe.
Sjnie peculiar difficulties on rail
roads are caused by birds, says Lon
don Tlt-Blts. A fireman on the engine
of a passenger train from Cardiff to
Fishguard, after passing Peterstone
station, while looking out through the
engine spectacle glass for signals, was
Injured by an owl which flew against
the glass and broke It. causing a piece
of glass to enter the fireman's eye.
The train was quickly stopped, medi
cal attendance secured and later the
man waa removed to the hospital. The
injury, however, was so serious that
the unfortunate victim of this singu
lar occurrence has lost the sight of
one eye and the sight of the other Is
Jeopardized. A short delay from a
most exceptional cause occurred on
one occasion to the 10:20 a. m. passen
ger train from Paddington to Worces
ter. When the train was near Pang
bourne a rook flew against the front
of the engine, striking the pipe of the
vacuum brake and causing thilpe to
become detached from the plug. This
admitted air to the brake pipes, caus
ing the brakes to be applied, thus stop
ping the train. At Cardiff station the
4:45 a. m. express, Paddington to Car-
' marthen, was one day delayed owing
to a swarm of bees on the platform
hampering the rallwaymen's opera-
tions.
Change Rail Gauge In Poland.
The Russian railroads in Poland, tor
strategical reasons, were built on a
broad gauge. The Germans have stand
ardized this gauge, but this change has
rendered useless all of the Russian
rolling 'stock which was left behind.
All freight cars, therefore, had to be
supplied from Germany, and a very
great shortage is the result
It is interesting to note that in
standardizing the railroads the Ger
mans have cut the ends of the railroad
ties even with the edge of the tracks,
thus making it impossible in the
event of a Russian reoccupatlon of
this country, to again broaden the
gauge without laying down an entire
ly new set of ties.-W. H. Hamilton,
in Harper's Weekly.
Soldier With Many Wounds.
Thus tar maimed French soldiers
have been able to resume their occupa
tions with far greater success than
bad been anticipated. One Instance of
the adaptability o: these mutilated men
Is the case of Private Schuler, who suf
fered 62 wounds and who bad his right
arm amputated. He has resumed
clerical work and in three months'
time has learnt 1 to write a fine cop
perplate page v tth his left band.
Minister of l abor Metln has in
structed the offl- ial employment agen
cies not only to accept and act Imme
diately upon all maimed soldiers' ap
plications for employment, but to pro
voke applications from such men by
all proper means of publicity.
Costly Airships.
Airships are an enormous item of
expense in the accounts of an army.
Zeppelins, for example, cost $600,000
to build. Their construction takes a
year, yet they cau be totally wrecked
by a high wind In half an hour. To
fill a Zeppelin with gas costs $3,000
every time s full bead of hydrogen is
pumped into the (00-foot envelope of
the airship. Tha great motors of the
vessel drink up petrol at the rate of
SO gallons sn hour. Moreover, these
delicate machines require a $110,000
shed to bouse them It they are to be
safely anchored away from the pros
enoe of boisterous weather.
UNUSUAL LENGTH

Railroad Cars Were Never Intended
for Storage Houses or for
Inaction.
Railroad cars mere not Intended for
storage houses, the Philadelphia Ledg
er observes. They should not be used
for that purpose. Decause here and
there some shipper Is willing to go
on paying his demurrage charges rath
er than fro to the expense of unload
ing his cars he should not have the
power to do so. Freight cars were
built to haul commodities and not for
vehicles In which to store commod
ities at some terminal point for the
convenience of shipper, railroad or
consignee. A railroad Is of use only
when 'it can transport people and
freight. Therefore, any system which
will permit the deliberate blockading
of tracks. Junction points, docks and
terminals ought to be put under legal
ban.
The Interstate commerce commis
sion should be endowed with a tew
extra powers. One would be to com
pel shippers to unload their cars after
a certain time, irrespective of demur
rage, because demurrage does not
compensate either the railroad or the
wider public when traffic is suspended
by embargoes. A second power should
pertain to the railroads and enable
the interstate commerce commission
to make them keep their cars in mo
tion. The present situation Is an ab
surdity. On the one hand, speculators
and shippers can, by the payment of
demurrages, delay Indefinitely the un
loading of cars at terminal points. On
the other hand, the railroads can then
declare an embargo against all other
shippers to that point.
Put in a nutshell, the Interstate com
merce commission should enforce the
rule that railroad equipment cannot
be used for storage purposes.
Peat Fine for Locomotives.
In Sweden experiments In the use of
peat powder on locomotives of the
state railways have demonstrated that
as heavy trains can be pulled and as
good speed be made where this fuel Is
employed as where anthracite is used,
according to official statement. The
statement declares . that the powder
can technically, as well as economical
ly, take the place of anthracite as fuel
for locomotives. The railway direc
tors have decided to undertake the de
velopment of this class of fuel by two
different methods for purposes of com
parlson. Two experts have been re
quested to give complete estimates ol
the cost of preparing a certain bog for
the manufacture of peat powder, to
gether with estimates of running ex
penses, by the respective methods.
The bog selected Is said to be that at
Hasthagen, about one and a half miles
from the station at Vislanda, with an

Tribute to Italian Workers.
Italians have made such remarkable
progress In railroad work because
they are willing to begin at the bot
torn. They are not afraid of hard work
and do not start in with the mlacon
ceptlon that they "know It all." They
are naturally Industrious and temper
ate In their habits and are sustained
by a cheerful philosophy of life which
might well be emulated in the country
of their adoption. They are intensely
domestic and love of home and chil
dren Is their ruling passion.
Such men make good railroad men
because they place a high value on
human life and are faithful and loyal.
Men who are loyal to their families
are loyal to their country. And these
Italian railroad men have shown their
loyalty to the Stars and Stripes by
becoming citizens of the United
State. Exchange.
8he Runs a Legging Camp.
Logging is the vocation of Mrs. Bes
sie Platte of Coos Bay, Ore. Gloved
and aproned, she Is on the Job from
early morning till late at night, for she
has found that when she wants a thing
done well she can do It herself. She
hires her own men and she "fires'
them herself. There la no camp that
gets oat mors logs per man at Coos
Bay than that of Mrs. Platte. When
Mrs. PUtte vent to Coos Bay ta 1$1B
she wss cooking for a camp. Later
this camp closed down. It opened
again under new management with a
new crew and took Mrs. Platte as
cook. After four months the camp
failed. With the example of these two
failures Mrs. Platte took the camp and
ran It herself. She had profited by
the mistakes she bad seen the men
make and so her logging was a sue
cess.
