A HARMONHUS IXVASIOX.
American-made gr.imaphones are
now invading the oriental market and
seem to find no barrier in the Chinese
wall. When reinforced by moving
picture machines the conquest of the
Chinese should be complete. A re
cent consular report upon the subject
contains the following:
With the steady Increase In the
European population of the far east,
a growing demand for all sorts of
musical goods is developing, while
gramophones and talking machines
are finding an ever-extending market
among the Chinese. American trade,
or the whole, seems to be doing bet
ter in the latter line, owing mainly to
the excellency of the machines sold
and good representation.
One firm in Shanghai which has a
general agency for a leading Ameri
can gramophone is selling large quan
tities of machines and disks. They
establish agencies In all ports, sell
directly to the natives, and supply
them with Chinese and other musical
n cords, all of which are made in the
United States.
Aside from the' articles already
mentioned this firm sells American
banjos, organs, and sheet music In
large numbers and quantities. The
firm manufactures 15 pianos month
1;', for which raw material Is all im
ported, and it distributes large quan
tities of German harmonicas, the lat
ter being so cheap as to defy compe
tition. Furthermore, American pian
olas are being dealt in to a large ex
tent, but this trade will soon suffer,
as the firm has Just started to repro
duce them. The first specimen has
jt;st been finished at the Shangh il
factory and has proved a success. ,
American exnortprs will have' tn I
watch the market closely to keep a
trade in their hands in which a satis
factory' start has been made.
Germany seems to be the main
other nation contending for the mar
ket in gramophones. They manufac
ture cheaper goods and get some or
ders, a firm In Tsingtau doing a good
lusiness In these machines.
LIKES DIRECT PRIMARIES.
Direct primaries are. being held In
many states for the first time this
year, and in nearly every Instance
the results have Jolted the strongly
intrenched political machines and
relegated many politicians of the old
school to the oblivion of enforced re
tirement. The Chicago Daily News,
in discussing the trend of events, says
that the direct primary is receiving i
the attention of the best thinkers of
the day and Is being discussed by the
newspapers and from the rostrum
everywhere. Ten years ago the ad
vocates of the direct primary were
lookf-d upon by most men as cranks
and dreamers, but not bo today. Many
of the statf-s have already embraced
the id-; and others will follow as
soon as their laws can be revised to
that end.
One of the advantages of the law,
according to the views of the Chicago
News is that Its operation
voters long in alvance of an election
to obtain a fair amount of knowledge
of the party candidates.
There Is,
noring cut and dried about direct noranre and superstitutlon.
. Ti. . t . .u I' ore knows himself and knows
irlmar.es The appeal of the men . . ,. . . , ... .
I life as It Is, there is nothing anywhere
who teek nominations is to the party(to ,je afrald of. It one knowg not n)m.
voters themselves. Consequently the self nor life, fear Is unavailing, use-1
voters on entering the campaign In b?RS. I
whl.-h candidates of d if rro r,nrtin.'
are pitted against one another, have
much advance information to guide
them. They know not only aome
V.i't.g of the personality of each con
spicuous candidate, but they know
what Influence led to his nomination
what he stands for. In short.
The voter has little opportunity to
get so clear a view of a candidate
after an entire party puts Itself at his
back and makes support of him a
test of loyalty to party traditions and
party prim ipleg. Then the voter
merely sees that alt republicans or
all democratls are expected to sup-
port thin or that candidate, because
he Is the party nominee. The ques
tion of fitness is smothered under
the demand for party success. As a
conscientious citizen ho may strive
to learn whether or not a candidate
Is fit, but he Is likely to be confused
by the clamor of friends and foes, so
that be votes the straight party ticket.
THE 1NDOMI TAllI.E'S SPEED.
When the "Lustanla" recently
broke the transatlantic record by cov
ering the distance from land to land
;U a speed of 25.1 knots. It was pre
sumed that she had placed the figures
at a mark where they would nt.ind for
many months to come, says the Sci
entific American. Outside of her dis
abled sister, the 'Mauretania," there
has apparently no vessel n sight that
could come within several knots of
that speed. Certainly, it was not for
a moment supposed that a cruiser
battleship carrying an armament of
eight 12-inch guns would be able to
set out and better the performance;
yet this Is what has been done by the
'Indomitable," one of the three
"Dreadnaught" type of cruisers re-
cently built for the British navy. The
fiat was accomplished on her return
with the Prince of Wales from the
Quebec celebration. It-is claimed
that on her trials the ship made 27
knots for seevral hours; and advan
tage was taken of the opportunity for
a long ocean test to drive the ship
under full power from land to land.
The average speed of the "Indomita
ble" for the whole course was 23.13
knots, and for four hours In the early
part of the voyage she made 26.4
knots. Incidentally, she also captur
ed from the "Lusitania" the record
for the highest single day's run to the
westward, by steaming 603 knots from
noon to noon. The vessel was not In
any way stripped for this perform
ance. All the heavy gu...:
hoard, the magazines were filled with
ammunition, and she carried the full
equipment of active service. The best
previous transatlantic trip by a war
ship was made by the cruiser "Drake"
on her return trip from America a
few years ago, when she averaged 19
knots. Our own cruiser "Columbia"
more than a decade ago, established
the first record of this kind by steam
ing from the British coast to Handy
Hook at an average speed of IS
knots.
IS IT TRI E XOW?
Carl Schurz, In the last of the series
of his famous reminiscences, publish
to in the September McClure's, speaks
Mrongly of the moral soundness of
the plain people of America, as oppos
ed to the dangerous moral cowardice
i f the politicians in the republic. Ho
says:
"I have had an active part In a
great many political campaigns and
probably addressed as many popular
meetings as any man now living; and
I have always found that whenever
any public question under public dis
cussion had In It any moral element,
an appeal to the moral sense of the
people proved uniformly the most
powerful argument. With the major
ity of the people, notably the 'plain
people,' using the term In the sens'?
ir. which Abraham Lincoln was wont
to use It I found the question, 'is
this morally right?' to have ultimately
more weight than the question 'will
this be profitable?' "
RE STRONG AND IXAI'RAID.
Fear is your deadliest foe.
Also it Is a figment of your fancy.
And useless.
Physiologists gay fear Impoverishes
the blood. Interferes with the assimi
lation of food, attacks the nerve cen
ters and lowers the physical power.
It makes a man physically unfit.
If so, what must Its effect on the
mind be?
It lessens one's ability to think,
lowers his ambition, weakens his
character and affects his happiness.
In short, ail the forces of personality
go In front of fear.
Fear whispers to the young, strong
to do and dare, and the strength be-
comes as water. It assails the middle
aged, and the uplifted arm of energy
! falls inert. It torments the old and
I robs It of its peace. And yet
Strone thief as It is. It Is an abnor-
nvil Veakllng, for It Is the son of Ig
To put It plainly, there
are two
things one should never fear first,
i what he can help and, second, what
he cannot help. Edwin A. Nye. !

AM ERICAN TRADE IX MEXICO.
In reply to many correspondents as
to the best means by which American
trade In Mexico can be extended,
Consul Charles A. Miller, of Mata
moros, furnishes the following infor
mation: According to a recent issue of a
Mexican newspaper, suggestions wor
thy of e nsiderailon on the part of
American xporters seeking enlarged
. : : trade in Mexico were given
by one of the consuls of this republic
!. the United States in an address to
a commercial club In a western city.
In this connection manufacturers
and exporters must bear In mind when
reading these suggestions that the
Mexican consul addressed u commer
cial club Interested solely in its local
manufactures and products and that
the suggestions might need some mod
ifications when applied to the general
manufacturing and productive inter
ests of the I'nlted States.
The suggestions of the consul,
which contain much that Is worthy of
the consideration of manufacturers
and exporters of the United States in
general, are as follows:
"The establishment of a commercial
agency In Mexico City, with clerks
thoroughly conversant In the Spanish
language to conduct the business cor
respondence. The club should have
traveling salesmen who speak the
Spanish language and who are famil
iar with the trade conditions and the
wants of Mexican merchants.
"The traveling salesman could carry
samples of the lighter classes of goods
but machinery, farming implements,
and other heavy classes of manufac
tures should be on display In two or
more of the principal cities, where
men should be kept to demonstrate
the use of machinery. Agriculture Is
rapidly developing In Mexico, and
there Is a strong demand for improv
ed farming machinery."
The consul believes that It would
I)" a great advantage for manufactur
ers to maintain agencies and distrib
uting centers in the City of Mexico
and In Monterey, both being Import
ant railway centers. Monterey could
be a distributing point for northern
and western Mexico and the City of
Mexico for central and southern i
Mexico.
People who are crippled in the head
have a hard time and little sympathy.
