One of the greatest laments of a reading civilization is that the worlds history began before the printing press was invented and the reporter who interviews got on the scene. How really satisfying it would be even now to read the de- tails of the meeting between Satan and Eve, a stenographic report of their conversation and graphic in terviews with Adam after he got fired from the Garden of Eden and with Noah after he ran aground on Ararat.

Since the committee of rules has exercised the power to determine what bills should be reported by the standing committee, the speaker as the chairman of that committee has held the house in his hand. When the president and the speaker are members of the sameparty they exercise at least negative control over legislation,

Terrific Speed.

The trolley car holds the worlds record
for speed among vehicles. In Germany,
running from Berlin 10 Zossen, a town 1852
miles away, is a three-track railway built
by the Prussian government for military
purposes. 1t is straight level, without
grade crossings, and as solidly built as
modern railroad construction permits
Some time ago the government set this
road apart temporarily to electrical as
ISOLATION for the making OF speed tests.
An experimental ear was built by the
Siemens-H alske company. Its weight ap-
proximsted 100 tons, and il was equipped
with 250-horse-power three-phase motors
The three trolley wires carried 1000 volts
but that enormous current was reduced by
transformers on the car. The controller
and brakes were applied by compressed air
The car had a vestibule and had cigar
shaped front so a 10 offer the least possi-
bic resistance to the air.
The experiments have been running since
last fall. The car attained a speed OF sixty
miles an hour the first day IL was run. Since
then higher rates OF speed have been com
mon, and recently the car has been run at
the terrific pace of ITO miles an hour
Compared with such speed the Empire
State and Twentieth Century trains on the

the conditions entirely different. The

the wrongheadedness of lingo combined
with complete ignorance of European af-
fairs TO imagine that Germany intends TO
annex the Netherlands. Any German ad-
miral so indiscreet, the Tageblatt continues,

In a recent dispatch from Washington
Rear Admiral Taylor. chief OF the Bureau

given expression 10 the ideas referred 20

this Washington dispatch Rear Admiral
Taylor described as thoroughly alive
to the steady set of current which is car
rying the United States and Germany along
converging lines in many parts of the globe
and bringing these two nations into closer
rivalry elsewhere.
To Rear Admiral Taylor was given the
credit of warning the leaders OF the United
States navy and army that preparations
must begin at once and be vigorously
prosecuted from this time forth for a grave
crisis in German-American relations in the
spring of 1907 The time of this crisis is

IN A BAD WAY.
minneapolis Helpless III a Great Peace
Emergency should Arise.

Minneapolis Tribune.
Does anybody realize that the city Of
Minneapolis is practically without govern
ment? Does everybody understand that
there is no real protection for life and prop
erty here except that of private self-de-
tense? That is the case into which our
city administration has brought us. The
defect is not evident because there has been
no test. Police protection is for emergen-
cies. and We have escaped an emergency
since ours broke down. But emergencies
come without warning Suppose one ar
rived here. Suppose a riot. flaming up out
of nothing, threatened the lives of citizens.
Suppose a great fire. flood or storm exposed
costly property to loot in its train. Does
any one believe that the city government
would be able TO afford adequate protection
TO either?
The force contains a large number of
honest, able and trained officers, each OF
whom could be trusted TO cope with any
emergency he could meet single handed.
But does any one believe the force capable
OF the organized common effort such a
case would call for? What man could form
a platoon OF police and lead it out of the
City Hall to place of duty and danger?
Not the ex-colonel of the Thirteenth Regi-
ment or the mayors private secretary.
These would be busy abusing each other
TO reporters or removing each others APP
pointees. Not the captains. These would
be busy arresting one another or looking
out for grand jury warrants. The patrol
men would be ready to do their duty; but
is. there one officer out of Jail whom any
of them would dare TO try TO obey?
This matter should interest men with
families and owners Of property. We should
even think that the fire insurance COM
panies might imagine their interest to be
involved in il. 1t may be a small matter
for taxpayers that they are paying for po-
lice protection and not getting it. 1t would
be no small matter for losers if the emer-
of the Council TO form a temporary govern
ment in place of that which has disap-
peared, but the Council seems to be asleep.
Legislative bodies are not energetic In
initiative anyway. A mass meeting would
prick the sides of it's intent, but il is easier
to get mass meeting on some question of
cheap sentiment than for the protection OF
life and property.

The Kaiser's Opportunity.
New York Commercial Advertiser.


In his heart of hearts the Kaiser is prob
ably most grateful 10 the mobiles of Poland
who have given him so splendid a chance
to be Electrically medieval. They beg him
not to visit Posen at the present time be-
cause OF the possible danger 10 his person.
In reply he puts himself at the head of co.
600 men-at-arms Qet US call them so for the
momenD and advances on the disconnected
city to Overwhelm and stun IL by the con-
crete exhibition of his irresistible power.
Thus would Occur de Lion have done, and
thus Barbarossa and the Kaiser is of their
type. 1t will be great day for Posen-the
barred doors and windows, the eXpectant
hush, the distant fanfare OF trumpets, then
a mist of Uhlans. a surge OF heavy cavalry,
a cataract of splendid soldiery of all arms
and in the midst of them the war lord him
self, gitterng I'm steel and polished silver
under his eagle-crested helmet and saluted
by cannon and a crash of martial music.
What a pity that his sodiery cannot for
the nonce revert TO hauberk, lance, pike,
battle ak and mangonel The people OF
Posen have at any rate the prospect OF a
rare show, and the Kaiser ought to be good
to this place in return for the opportunity
which il has granted him or becoming for
a little while suZerain OF romance.
