moral revolution was necessary 10 recall the
nation to its oldtme standards OF business
honor and morality.
The national housecleaning, not yet wholly
completed was made necessary by this careless
American way of living day by day without res
olutely looking at the future consequences OF
such a policy There was knowledge IN abundance
years ago that there was something wrong in the
processes of PacSingtown, but Congresses and
Presidents shied at the problem of regulation
and passed it along TO their successors. In the
same way the abuses of railway management
had long been matter of common knowledge
and general but ineffective arraignment, until
finally Republican Congress and Republican
President rose to the occasion, and, despite the
fears and dolorous predictions Of many, success
fully essayed the reforming or ending Of the evils
Such statesmanshfp concerns not only to-day,
but Tomorrow continuance of the evils at
which the legislation of the recent session OF
Congress was chiefly aimed would have been
entirely possible and probable under an admin
istration more concerned for its ease than for
the public welfare. To recognize the moment
at which an abuse must be remedied is not al
ways easy and a failure to do 80 is often the
first step toward radicalism which may end In
revolution These incidents emphasize the quail
ity of true statesmanship-th which, as NJ.
DeIcasse recently remarked in his speech at
Folk, corresponds daily to the requirements or
the morrow

THE "TELEVUE."

The hopes which a certain Virginia electric
clan is said TO entertain Of the evolution Of
apparatus which will serve the eye as the
telephone does the ear are not so fancifuI as
or" might suppose. We doubt whether Mr..
Thompson, the Richmond inventor who pro-
fesses TO be wrestling with the problem. will
have better luck than half a dozen other men
who have done so before him. But II will not
do to assume that the Idea itself is impractl-
cable. Something more is involved in repro
ducing instantly to the eye n distant scene or
image than in the telegraphic transmission Of
a photograph or the subsequent representation
OF an actual incident by the cinematograph.
The success which has attended these other
undertakings, however, shows the inadvisabil-
ity Of pronouncing this one impossible
little more than eight years ago it was
reported that a young Austrian Pole, Herr
Szczepanik had devised an instrument which
would enable a person 10 see things at a dis
fance. HIS "fernseher," or 'telsctroscope," con-
sisted OF single wire with rather elaborate
New-York tribune., 1906-07-15

apparatus at each end. That there was such
a person as Szczepnnik does not admit Of any
question, for before he undertook this task be
made some improvements In the mechanism or
loom, which promised to simplify the work
of weaving He applied for patents in England
on his "fernseher," and the press there quoted
sufficiently from his application to give gem
eral idea of his procedure. 1t was evident from
these descriptions that the apparatus would be
EXPENSIVE and that there would be difficulty
in adjusting that part of Ii which was placed
at one end of the line to act in perfect corre-
spondence with that at the other. 1t was es-
sentiaI that something In one place should ro-
tate at precisely the same speed as something
at another and that has always been a hard
thing to bring about. Szczepanik did not as
was expected show his invention at the Paris
Exposition of 1900 and recently nothing more
has been heard of him. 1t is evident that he
struck snag and was never able TO get off.
The service TO be performed by telectroscope
would not be comparable, in practical value. with
that of the telephone. Perhaps the apparatus
might be used for purposes Of entertainment. II
It could be made to project vivid picture on
large screen. the action of a play In one city
might be witnessed by company of spectators
in another. No one appears to have any faith
in such q possibility, and the instrument would
probably prove too costly for personal use
When a man calmly considers the question
whether or not 1t would ever pay to perfect the
thing, he finds 1t hard to reach an affirmative
oo0cluciOD

STATESMANLIKE PREVIsION.

Mr. HaIdane, the British Secretary Of War, in
an address the other day at Teddington, at the
opening Of the electrical laboratory as depart
ment of the National Physical Laboratory was
led by the circumstances to refer to the con-
nectiOn between science and the worlds in-
dustry and government. While the great work
of the organization of knowledge in nearly all
countries goes on for the most part, independent
OF the state, the state cannot afford TO neglect
scientific progress or fail TO avail itself of its
aid in the solution of its problems. This con-
nection Is rarely so apparent as it is and has
been in modern Germany, or as in the sani-
tary thoroughness of Japan in the recent war;
but sooner or later it is felt and acknowledged
in every progressive country and government
Prussias answer, according to Mr.. Haldane, to
her cOnQuerOr was TO build q university, and
Germany, when duly trained, became the VIC
tor by the sheer might Of thought and by the
wonderful organization which that thought ena-
"bled her to make the foundation of her future
| power" Rarely have there been two such
striking illustrations Of statesmanlil1e provision
as in the case OF Prussia crushed under the
first Napoleon and Japan curbed and robbed of
her victory after her war with China.
But civilization is not alone concerned with
wars and cOnquests or with national revenges
however carefully and thoughtfully planned and
executed The higher triumphs of the states
mnnship Of the future will be exhibited In bring
ing all the weight and added might OF scientific
knowledge, together with the statesman's fore
thought TO aid In solving problems relating to
the common good and the common welfare. In
order to do this in America, for instance, there
must be added TO the common stock of knowl-
edge something Of the old Puritan or the mod
ern japanese earnestness of purpose In its APP
plication TO the problems Of individual and ma
tiOnal well being. Nations are much like indi-
viduals-their knowledge often outruns their
will and inclination, while precedent often
comes along with its deadening blight TO stay
every hand or voice lifted for a reform Of old
ways. For instance, 1t has recently been found
necessary to increase considerably the func-
tiOns exercised by the state as compared with
those exercised half or even q quarter OF
century ago. BY allowing science TO be per-
verted TO the use OF greed abuses had grown
up In the meat industry and in the preparation
OF food products and drugs A wise states
manship would have foreseen such evils and
have taken measures to prevent them, but the
! governmental habit OF living from hand TO
mouth and letting the morrow take thought for
things for itself fitted so we'll with the lofsses
rdfre principle OF government that the abuses
grew and hourished until something Ike

For about twenty minutes they kept up a neck-and-
neck race and then, as a siding came In sight and
the train drew up at the spot. they disappeared IN
the long grass. When the train started again
