NJ. Walter, is ito raise the standard of the chauffeurs, who promise in joining that they will not swear. drink or do anything that. will bring discredit to the profession"

 w. S.-Please give a description of wireless telegraphy.
 A. Two instruments are necessary, an exciter or transmitter, and a de- tector or receiver. There must also be an abundance of electric power to generate the waves. The exciter consists of two rather large brass spheres placed side by side. with two other smaller brass spheres on either side. From each of the small spheres runs a wire connecting up with a Rumeorf induction coil. and this, in its turn, is excited by an cleo tric battery which Is thrown in and out of circuit by a Morse key. The receiver is essentially a dramatically sealed glass tube containing a metal lie powder the particles Of which when the space waves impinge on the tube agitate themselves. eohere and decohere. and thus set up an electrical continuity: and through this the operator is able to gather up the electrical force which he then interprets by means of dot and dash signals.

THE ARGUS, TUESDAY, DECEMBER f. 1906.

preme court in the transmissouri case
and the Joint Traffic association case
has produced no practical effect upon
the railway operations of the country.
Such associations, in fact, exist now
as they did before these decisions and
with the same general effect. In JUS
tice to all parties we ought probably
to add that it is difficult to see how our
interstate railways could be operated
with due regard to the interest OF the
shipper and the railway without con-
certed action of the kind afforded
through these associations"
This means that the law as construed
by the supreme court is such that the
business of the country cannot be con-
Quoted without breaking ii. | recon-
mend that you give careful and early
consideration TO this subject and, If
you find the opinion of the interstate
commerce commission justified, that
you amend the law so as TO obyiate the
evil disclosed.
Rock Island Argus., 1906-12-04

such by technical Industrial education.
The far reaching usefulness of insd-
tutes of technology and schools OF
mines or of engineering Is now uni
versally acknowledged. and no less
far reaching is the effect of a good
building or mechanical trades school. a
textile or matchmaking or engraving
school. All such training must develop
not only manual dexterity, but indus
trial intelligence. In international RI
valry this country does not have TO
fear the competition of pauper labor as
much as it has to fear the educated
labor of specially trained competitors,
and we should have the education OF
the hand. eye and brain which will it
us TO meet such competition.
In every possible way we should help
the wageworker who tolls with his
hands and who must-we hope in a
constantly increasing measure-also toll
with his brain. Under the constitution
the national legislature can do but lit
tie of direct Importance for his welfare
save where he is engaged In work
which permits IT to act under the In
terstate commerce clause of the con-
stitution, and this is one reason why
so earnestly hope that both the leg
islative and judicial branches of the
government will construe this clause
of the constitution i'm the brOadest pos
sible manner We can, however, in
such a matter as industrial training, In
such n matter as child labor and fac
tory laws. set an example to the states
by enacting the most advanced legis-
lation that can wisely be enacted for
the District of Columbia.
Rock Island Argus., 1906-12-04

be considered. In all legislation of this
kind 1t is well to advance cautiously.
testing each step by the actual results.
The step proposed can surely be safely
taken, for the decisions of the commits
sion would not bind the parties in legal
fashion and yet would give a chance
for public opinion to crystalline and
thus to exert its full force for the right.
Withdrawal of Coal Lands.
1t is not wise that the nation should
ALLEVIATE its remaining coal lands.
have temporarily withdrawn from set
tlement all the lands which the geolog-
ical survey has indicated as containing
or in all probability containing coal.
The question. however, can be proper
ly settled only by legislation. which. in
my judgment, should provide for the
withdrawal of these lands from sale
or from entry save in certain especial
circumstances. The ownership would
then remain in the United States,
which should not, however. attempt to
work them, but permit them to be
worked by private individuals under
royalty system, the government keep
ing such control as to permit it to see
that no excessive price was charged
consumers. 1t would of course be as
necessary to supervise the rates charg-
ed by the common carriers to transport
the product as the rates charged by
those who mine it. and the supervision
must extend to the conduct Of the COM
mon carriers, so that they shall in no
way favor one competitor at the eX-
pense of another The withdrawal of
these coal lands would constitute a
policy analogous to that which has
been followed in withdrawing the for
est lands from ordinary settlement.
The coal, like the forests, should be
treated as the property of the public,
and its disposal should be under condi-
tions which would inure to the benefit
of the public as whole.
