A Vote on World Progressiveness,
A thousand prominent scientific men
in Europe and America have Been
asked to make a list of what they
consider the seven wonders of the
modern world, and responses have
come from a majority large enough
to represent their decision. The sub
jects proposed numbered fifty-six and
the seven standing at the head, in
their order, are the wireless, tele
phone, aeroplane, radium, antiseptics
and antitoxins, spectrum anaylsis and
the X-ray. Falling short by a few
votes were the Panama Canal, anaes
thesia and synthetic chemistry All
in the winning list are recent in ori
gin. Three relate to means of rapid
comunication, two to medical ad
vance, while spectrum anaylsis
reaches out into the study of the uni
verse. Radium is a curiosity of un
known possibilities, and not yet ob
tainable in quantities needed for ac
tive experiment. The list in itself is
proof that the progressiveness of the
world is a fact well established, and
that, the wonders yet to come would
tax the imagination if they could be
foreseen.
Modern wonders run to utilities ailU
uplift the conditions of mankind, in
which respect they far surpass the
recognized wonders of old. The seven
famous in ancient annals are childish
in comparison. The pyramids are
masses of unused masonry in a des
ert; the hanging gardens of Babylon
would be a small item in the present
science of plants; the temple of Diana
at Ephesus is as valueless in architec
ture as Diana herself in veritable his
tory; the statue of Jupiter is living
art, but the great god of old has set
tled down into a fancy; the Colossus
of Rhodes is eclipsed by any great

continually in search of really able and talented men, and
there are not beginning to be enough nowadays to meet the supply.
The trouble arises from the fact that a great many men are simply
of MEDIOCRE ABILITY and lack the energy and enterprise nec
essary to reach the top. In other words, they do not work hard
enough and are careless in the preparation for l heir life work. .
GOOD MEN ARE EVERYWHERE IN DEMAND. AND SO FAR

bridge of today. The lighthouse of
Alexandria and mausoleum of Arte
misia are trifles when contrasted with
thousands of modern achievements.
The seven ancient wonders were large
ly personal vanities, the attempt of
individuals to immortalize themselves
in some visible way. They had not
grasped the idea of working out great
problems for all mankind. The world
is outgrowing the puerile sel-conceit
of the Pharaohs and their pyramids,
to build which huge piles of useless-
ness a vast multitude perished under
brutal masters. In the vote of scient
ists just taken even such a great ma
terial monument as the Panama Canal
failed to get a place in the leading
seven. At the head of the list is the
means by which a man anywhere can
be placed in communication with oth
er men anywhere. Means to move
about the earth rapidly are ranked
high, and the amelioration of the ills
to which the race is subject 'is es
teemed beyond the grandest pile that
human genuis can rear. The peacock
self-assertion of any individual has no
proper standing in the present age
with its practical intents and stand
ards. BOURNE WILL RUN IF
LAW WAS VIOLATED
WASHINGTON, Aug. 1. Senator
Bourne toda received a telegram
from F. Rice, secretary of a meeting
of St. Johns citizens, asking Bourne
to permit his name to be submitted as
a candidate of the Independent Pro
gressive party for Senator.
Bourne says he is unable to take
action upon the request until after he
fgets the postoffice appropriation bill
through the Senate.
Then, he says, if he should become
convinced that the corrupt practices
act was violated in the primary elec
tion in which he was defeated, and
there is a general demand that he be
come an independent candidate for the
Senate, he will give the matter serious
consideration.
A mass convention was held in St.
Johns Wednesday night at the City
Hall, and Jonathan Bourne was nom
inated to succeed himself as United
States Senator from Oregon. Post
master and Ex-Mayor F .W. Valentine
Republicans of long standing, nomin
ated Senator Bourne. A. A. Muck,
Mayor of St. Johns, was elected chair
man; F. A. Rice, secretary, and the
organization was made permanent un
der the name of the "Bourne Inde
pendent Progressives." A resolution
recounting Senator Bourne's record in
the Senate and warmly praising him
was introduced by H. E. Harris and
adopted unanimously.

Mountain to inspect the gold mine.
They were camping while on the trip.
Mr. Sjjrague was engaged in prepar

coffee boiling in a tin can. The can
exploded, and covered Mr. Sprague
with the boiling coffee. His face and
neck and left arm were terribly scald

HEN CALLED AUTO
SLAYERS IDENTIFIED
NEW YORK, Aug. 1. "Dago Frank"
and Shapiro, the chauffer and joint
owner of the murder car, were taken
before the grand jury to give evidence
in the Rosenthal case.
The inference was that "Dago'
Frank" had confessed and that his de
claration was sufficient to warrant
their being taken immediately before
the grand jury. District Attorney
Whitman said:
" 'Dago Frank ' has been positively
identified as one of the men who shot
Rosenthal."
"Dago Frank" Cirofici and Shapiro
confronted by three witnesses who
positively identified them as partici
pants in the murder Shapiro as driv
er of the car and "Dago Frank" as one
of the passengers.
Shapiro had alerady confessed his
part in the affair and his identifica
tion was merely a formal confirmation
of his story. A report that "Dago
Frank" had confessed proved to be
erroneous.
Steps toward the corroboration of
the confessions implicating Police
Lieutenant Becker in the murder of
the gambler, Herman Rosenthal, are
to be taken carefully and slowly so
that, as District Attorney Whitman
says, the "whole truth of the relations
between the gamblers and the police
will come out."
Satisfactory progress is being made
by Whitman in supplying the missing
links in the confession of "Bald Jack"
Rose, "Bridge" Webber and Harry Val
lon, who in their stories to the public
prosecutor said Becker led them to
the killing of Rosenthal.
Whitman says he has obtained some
important testimony confirming parts
of the Rose and Webber stories that
they met "Lieutenant Becker by ap
pointment after the murder. Two res
taurant employes, according to the
District Attorney, have given the in
formation that they saw Becker talk
ing with Rose and Webber on Fortv-
second street after the killing.
Whitman, who has been advised by
several Supreme Court Justices to go
slowly, said today:
"The Court of Appeals has held that
there must be some corroboration of
the testimony of accomplices. The es
timate of a motive is corroboration,
There is no doubt in my mind that
the motive has been established."
The grand jury probably will not
resume its investigation into the case
until the District Attorney has more
needed testimony on hand. Whitman
is investigating stories that Becker is
worth nearly a million dollars.
The appearance of Sam Schepps is
keenly awaited at the prosecutor's of
fice. Schepps, according to the story
told by Rose to the District Attorney,
received $1000 in bills from Rose
which Becker had handed him. Rose
says Schepps gave this money to Har
ry Horrowitz, otherwise - known as
"Gib, the Blood," and Louis Rosens
weig. EXECUTION OF U. S.
CITIZENS TO BE PROBED
WASHINGTON, Aug. 1. American
consuls in Mexico were ordered by the
state department today to thoroughly
investigate reports that two American
citizens were hanged by Mexican reb
els in the state of Sonora, Mexico. Of
ficials of the department regard the
Mexican situation as extremely grave
and if it is shown that the hanging
was the carrying out of threats made
by General Orozco and General Sala
zar, of the rebel forces to massacre
American residents, the government
may decide to intervene.
The expulsion of the Mormon colon
ists by General Orozco has aroused
bitter feeling in Texas, Arizona and
New Mexico. It 'is believed that Or
ozco deliberately planned to loot the
Mormon coloniel to re-finance, provi
sion and equip h?s army, but later
deemed it inadvisable to carry out his
plan.

UP TO HIGHEST COURT
NEW YORK, Aug 1. The Kansas
electoral cases, involving the legality
of future action of presidential elec
tors in states where the direct primary
prevails, were taken up here today
by Justices Vandevanter and Pitney
of the United States supreme court.
The proceedings resulted from the
Kansas supreme court's decision that
the names of eight Kansas president
ial electors should go on the official
primary ballot in the Republican col
umn, although it was announced the
electors would not support Taft and
Sherman.
As a result of the Kansas supreme
court's decision the Taft leaders ap
plied for a writ of error. The case of
the Taft people is being presented by
Congressman Olmstead, of Pennsylva
nie and Richard Hite of Topeka. L.
W. Kepplinger, of Kansas City, andF.
S. Jackson of Topeka are the Roose
velt attorneys.

velt regardless of whether he was the
Republican nominee. Olmstead read
a letter indicating this was the atti
tude of the delegates. He explained
the alleged necessity of changing the
rulings of the Kansas court.
In arguing the Roosevelt side of the
case, Attorney F. S. Jackson of To
peka, said.
"This case contains more dynamite
than any that has come before the
supreme court since the reconstruc
tion period. The matters involved
are those that have plunged states in
to war."
Justice Pitney interrupted Jackson
at this stage in his argument to dry
ly remark that he did not think f&ere
would be a war over the matter. Jack
son declared that everybody in Kansas
knew the electors intended to support
Roosevelt. Pitney interrupted Jack
son again here, saying: "Promises
must have been broken in this case."
Here Jackson and Justices " Pitney
and Vandevanter became engaged fn
a running argument, Justice Vande
