House cleaning at the Vatican is
something of a task. The Vatican has
not been thoroughly cleaned for CEN
fury, and so the authorities thought to
do the job. They accordingly kept 5000
people and 700 overseers busy at it for
six months. This force used 1000 leaves
of bread a day TO clean wallpaper.

Seventh Day Adventists Rank Highest
in Attendance.
AS a result of a house-to-h house can
vas of San Francisco by the Sunday
School Association it has been found
that for church membership the
Seventh Day Adventists rank first in
Sunday-schOOl attendance having a
percentage of 90. The Scientists, so far
fan the lowest, their percentage of chill
dren or students attending religious
instruction or following courses corre-
spending to Sunday work
amount to but As per cent of protesting
Scientists. In making these computa-
lions children under the age of II are
considered as representing the sunday
school attendance. 1t is then admitted
in the calculation that many register
ing as pupils or students are adults.
These, with teachers and assistants, are
supposed to balance the number of chill
dren under possible Sunday-school age,
and the percentage is worked out on
these principles.

A Singular Omission.

why doesn't some one start an indus
trial school in Minneapolis? The only
reason we do not, have more Industrial
training In the public schools Is that the
school board is short Of money. But all
the facilities we do have are taken adj
vantage Of to the fullest extent by the
public. Something like $1,000 is expended
for manual training in the lower grades
and two or three times as much for in
struction which, approaches nearer to the
amount Of money, however, the board Is
able to provide instruction for only a
fraction of those who would be glad to
take 1t. Thousands more would avail
themselves Of manual training in the pub
lie schools If it were practical to give it
tossthem. There are in the night schools
Of the Young Mems Christian association
over 200 young men paying for instruction
Of a kind which a manual training school
would supply. There are numerous pri-
vate schools In Minneapolis for both boys
and girls covering substantially the same
ground as the public schools, teaching
mathematics language, history, algebra,
Latin, music and preparing for college,
but no Industrial school. And yet from
the experience Of the public schools, there
is reason to believe that pupils could be
obtained for instruction. In the manua
arts in greater numbers than are seek.

Laudable Competition.

Mr. Hartman is mad. Mr.. Hill ran Off

ness between the United States and the
Philippines. and has been getting ths bulk
of the import and export trade between
America and the orient. The former he
got by being clever, the latter he is get
ting by reason of low gradients and easy
curvature. Mr.. Hartman now gives it
out that he will take fall out of ali the
grades on his line from Omaha to- San
Francisco and shake the kinks out Of the
curves with frightful rapidity. Then he
is going to equip his lines with the finest
passenger rolling stock the world has ever
seen and reduce the time from New York
to San Francisco to three and one-half
days.
Mr.. Hartman is not going to sit by,
not he, while Mr.. Fill corrals the trade
Of one ocean and two continents. And
forthwith Mr.. Hill will come back at Mr.
Hartman with something equally as
good in the competitive line.
Then up will rise the tribe Of merger
defenders and discourse again on the great
advantages Of competition between rail-
way systems having a mileage Of more

DAILY DIVERSION

"a Suggestion for Uncle Sam.

- Wireless telegraphy is striding rapidly
into the realm of the practical and the
comm onplace. Experts have assured us
that 1t would never be satisfactory for
long distance transmissions, on a CONNER
cial basis, though it undoubtedly was des-
tined to fill an important place In the IN
creasing numbers Of the worlds methods
and systems of communications. Yet Mr..
Marconi is already sending messages from
Glace Bay, C. B., to ,Poldhu. Cornwall,
England, and announces that the inaugu-
ration Of a commercial business Is only
matter Of little organization and ar
rangements for connecting wire systems
on land, matter of a few weeks or
months at the outside. Moreover. he an
nounces that from the start rates will be
lower than on the submarine cables, being
8 cents for press dispatches. The pres
ent rates from Minneapolis to London are
81 and 13 cents respectively. making the
cable rate from New York 25 cents on pri-
vate messages and - cents on press dis

possible for wireless telegraphy to beat
submarine cable biography, and, perhaps,
drive it out Of the field. But the way the
telegraph and the telephone work side by
side and the way private messenger serv-
ices flourish alongside the postoffice de-
partment's special delivery service, warn
us to be slow to conclude that the cable
will be reposing on the junk heaps or left
to- rot at, the bottom of the ocean within
a few years: ~, s.. =. -, ! 81.
Yet it is now reasonable to expect that
within a few years wireless telegraphy
will be widely used on both land and sea.
Might 1t not. be a good scheme for our
government to buy Marconi's American
patents and introduce wireless telegra ply
as an adjunct to the postoffice depart-
ment? Morse offered his patents to the
! government, but they were not accepted.
1t does not appear that wireless telegraphy
systems cost much, and the government
could dot the United States with stations
at a. comparatively small sum. OF course
this is getting into the realm of state
ownership, but it is worth while to weigh
the possibilities Of checking Geographic
monopoly through the possession of the
patent rights to the Marconi inventions.

Senator Lord, who was one of the lead
ers IN the last legislature, and will take
a still higher rank this winter was in St.

lon the principal duty Of the legislature
was to resubmit the four per cent gross
earnings law and to draft and submit an
other constitutional amendment to- per-
NIT tax reform. There should be leeis-
lation more effectively to reach Intangible
property for taxation, but he doubted
whether 1t would be possible to pass such
measures until the constitution should be-
changed to allow an income tax

said yesterday in st. Paul, lard if we

sittons before the people, or they will fail

" Governor Van SAINT Is not content with
his recent published interview, but con-
tinues to impress upon all corners the i'm
portance OF resubmission, as advocated by
Senator Lord. The governors influence

Of government. that is true but the gov

has the veto power, and he is directly au-
thorized to make recommendations to

members one at time, and tell them
what he wants.
The governor does not hesitata to do
this on questions of legislation, but how
ever strongly he feels on the spealershfp
