Shalt We Travel
Beneath the Sea?
BY REAR ADMIRAL HIcHBoRN.

The idea of successful submarine navi-
cation is so attractive, and its possible ap-
plications in offensive and defensive naval
operations are SO great. that for many
years most determined efforts have been
made to produce vessels capable of meet
ing the chief requirements of such craft.
There are az the present time several types
of vessels, said to be capable of success
full navigation below the surface at mod
crate speeds. OF these, two are French
vessels, of two distinct types, and the third
is the well-known Holland submarine YES
sci, of which the navy now possesses one,
manned by naval crew, and is about to
acquire several others, which are being
constructed for it by the Holland Torpedo
Boat Company. A fourth, an independent
type Of submarine vessels Lakes bottom
worker, the Argonautl, although not
strictly submarine vessel, in the sense
that 1t is capable of floating in the vater
at variable depths below the surface, is
still vessel capable of moving beneath
the surface by crawling upon the bottom.
It was proposed and developed chiefly for
commercial purposes. such as wrecking.
diving, submarine construction, etc, and
is said to have travelled considerable dis
tances under water along the coasts of the
United States.
The submarine boats of the Holland
type are the fruit OF a number of years
of experiment carried out by the Holland
Company at their own expense; and the
vessel acquired from them recently has
shown herself capable of maintaining q
surface speed of ten knots and a sub
merged speed of seven knots, and has
been entirely under the control of her
personnel, both when moving on or be-
meath the surface. The control in both
the horizontal and the vertical plane is
very perfect. She has, furthermore, dem
onstrated her ability to avoid the vigil
ance both of searchiishts and of picket
boats by running with her coming tower
alternately just awash and completely
submerged.
OF the future of vessels of this class, it
is not possible TO speak with entire GER
tainty, because Of the possibility. or even
probability, of improvements in other
lines which will directly affect the sub
marine vessels. To be entirely success
full, it is necessary that submarine boat.
adapted to naval purposes, should have
high surface speed. reasonable sub
merged speed, perfect control, both in
the vertical and horizontal plane, when
on the surface or submerged, efficient
ventilation of the interior, satisfactory
accommodations for the personnel. and a
considerable field of vision when sub
merged. What has already been accom-
plished in the submarine vessels at pres
ent in service, both in this country and
abroad, demonstrates the entire practical
bility of obtaining all that is desired in
many OF these features.
We may reasonably hope that the de-
velopments which the past has seen in
steam navigation and the advances in the
armor and armament of vessels of war.
may find their counterpart in the future
developments ard improvements OF sub
marine vessels OF all kinds.

Three Ways to ss"

The combinations which survive will be
those which do the greatest and most
useful work at the very least cost to the
community. paying OF necessity the very
highest rates of wages that the price of
the product will permit to the workmen
whom they employ.
Second-To remove all duties and taxes
upon foreign products Of like kind to
those made by so-called trusts.
Third-To leave the trusts which are
organized without the protection of let

monopoly of any product of Importance

Honesty the Rem sdy
for Trust Evils
BY WHEELER H. PEcKHANl.

II the enterprise be one open to the law
of competition, that law Will be as effec-
tive in the coming century as in the one
just ended. If the partnership, combina-
tlon, joint stock company, or whatever
it may be called, abuses its powers end
charges for its product more than the
ordinary average rate of profits afforded
by other industries. it wilIlsurely meet
competitors who will compel reduction
of price. II anyone thinks that it would
be too powerful to be successfully at
tackled because of its great combination
of capital, they must remember that the
amount of other capital in other hands is
also enormously great, and that there is
no reason to apprehend that the propo--
tion of capital or persons employed and oc-
cupied in any one enterprise TO that and
those occupied in others differs In any
great degree now and in the past, or Will
present any appreciably greater defence
to any of the laws of competition.
There is one class of industries in which
the law of competition is futile. 1t is the
class of monopolies. An illustration is O
city railroad.
There can be but one railroad in
street. The man or corporation who gels
the right to build that railroad need not
fear competition. In such classes of in
iustry, where the right TO carry 1t on is
given by the public, the remedy against
imposition has always and will always
consist in the right by the Government TO
fix fares, or. what is the same thing so far
as the railroad company is concerned, tc
tax receipts. That remedy is perfect. and
applies in all cases. Given honest and
fairly capable public officials and no mo-
nopoly enterprise. SO far as some public
grant is essential to its use. could ever
charge more than the price which would
give profit equivalent to the average Of
profits in other enterprises. It is a pub
lie scandal OF the grossest character when
the dividends of such a company are such
as to make its stock in the market sell
materially above par.
The remedy for these things in the
coming century will not be different from
that In the past. Nothing new is needed
except honesty-integrity in public Off
eials. We viii get it when in the other
avocations of men the standard of integ-
rity is made higher. That time is surely
coming. though at present the signs are
dim and very long way off.

Woman's Advancement
in the Professions
BY BELyA A. LOCKWOOD.

Womans introduction into the business
world was a necessity. fostered by edu-
cation, that has resulted in the Industrial
independence of a very large class of
American women. All classes and grades
of work are today the result of skilled
machinery instead Of skilled handiwork.
Skilled machinery must be operated by
extent, sex does not enter. In all of the
prairie States Of the West. where the
farming is done by machinery, the women
can do the plowing and reaping as we'll as
the men. They have won a power in this
Industrial independence that has lifted
them out OF tutelage. We are no longer
educating girls to get married. but are
training them, like the boy, to trades and
professions. In the business future of
the country there will be rivalry be-
tween men and women for preferment.
but heavy contracts, large ventures. and
business requiring large capital, and in
tricate problems and long experience will
be for the next half century in the hands
Of men.
The professions have been opened to
woman, ald she has succeeded in them to
a degree that will form precedent for
those who come after, so that the number
of women lawyers, doctors, and ministers
will increase for each successive year.
Already the woman doctor has become q
necessity for every considerable town,
and she is welcomed in all of the coun-
tries of the Orient. where the seclusion
of women has been for centuries past
the custom OF the people.
The advent of women into the real poli-
tical life of the country has been mostly
confined to the new States OF the West,
but women politicians will increase and
multiply as the years roll on, aud they
will gradually occupy higher places. WI
Ting-fang the very astute Chinese Min

one or both Of the parties to a labor dis
pute. To give these boards authority .
intervene. regardless of what the princi-
ity to enforce decisions which the courts
possess, would seem to be the only way
of making their work effective..- As the
ory. such course would seem to be free
from any serious objection; II would only
be necessary to find out the right OF the
matter in dispute, which might be wholly
on one side, or partly on both, and de-
eide accordingly; but II the findings
should not be acquiesced In by the party
in fault, then how would the public re-
gard the measures which must necessarily
be taken TO enforce them? Assuming the
cause of trouble to be the discharge Of
some workmen by an employer, and that
the court. finding the reasons given for
dismissal not satisfactory. should order
them restored to their places. the en-
pioyer has no choice between taking back
men he does not want in his employ and
whom he has already discharged. or in
curing the penalty of contempt Of the
court which could be no other than fine.
There are at the present time many in
stances Of labor disputes having been sat
isfactorily settled by volunteer arbitra-
tors, in whose hands both sides were will
ing to leave their cause, the intelligence,
good judgment. and high personal charac-
ter of these men being regarded as suffi-
cient guarantee that the conclusions
reached by them, no matter which side
was favored, would be just and equitable.
God is invisible. and the Czar is far
off," is proverb among the Russian
peasantry eloquently expressive of wrongs
inflicted by irresponsible underlings; the
pathetic note running through II finds an
echo in the heart of many an American
workman, from whom the president or
other supreme officer OF the corporation
that employs him, is as "far off, as is the
Russian autocrat from the peasant.
To remedy these things, I believe that
every corporation should have sitting at
its council board, on perfectly equal terms
with the other directors, representative
man who would particularly represent the
interests of labor and see to 1t that in
shaping Its policy due consideration be
given to them. This representation should
be based on stock which the corporation
might place within reach of their work
men, on terms adjusted to their means,
and which they should be encouraged to
buy. He would then have means Of
making his wants known and adjusting
his grievances without resorting to
strikes, and this, I believe. would be OF
Infinitely greater advantage to him and
to the public than the appointment by
the President of a Secretary of Labor in
the Cabinet of the Chief Executive of
the nation.
