Wireless in Walla WaIIa.

Spokane Wash, March A. 1906
The progress that has been made by
wireless telegraphy in the past three
years is truly wonderful. I have had
the pleasure of meeting some DeFor-
rest Wireless people here and have
CLEANED some interesting facts. 1 have
also met some Colorado people who
have tested the actual workings of
wireless in Colorado, where there are
a number of stations being success
fully and prOfitably operated.
The DeForrest company has stations
reaching from Chicago down to the
Gulf of Mexico into Central America,
back along the Atlantic coast and up
the Great Lakes to Chicago, making a
large circuit. On the Pacific coast
stations are being put in by the gov
eminent, which stations are also used
for commercial purposes. (The De
Forrest Wireless is used and endorsed
by the United States governmentD A
large station is being put In at San
Francisco; others at Hawaii the
Philippines, and the orient, making it
possible to send messages across the
Pacific. The value of Wireless for
ships has long been demonstrated.
Russell Sage says 1.-THE time is near
when the wireless telegram will sup
plant every telegraph cable in exist
ence." The cost of the cable between
Cuba and Florida was about $500, 900.
The cost of the wireless system be-
tween the same places was less than
s25, 900 and the company is never both
cred with breaking cables or the ex-
pense of repairing a cable. This gives
an idea of the economy of the wireless
over the wire system.
The possibilities of wireless on land
are practically unlimited. Locomotives
and trains will be enabled to carry
their own block system. Train dis
patchers can send messages to con-
ductors and engineers while the train
IS in motion. The Chicago and Alton

glad to add some of the labor planks
TO his platform if he could thereby
detach the labor vote from free trade
To do this he has but to convince
the labor voter that the increase IN
the price of food incident to protection
would be insignificant compared with
what he would gain in steady employ
ment at an advanced wage. The labor
man of England is still skeptical OF
the benefits of protection. He is con-
WINGED about the advance in the price
of bread but he is not SO certain OF
the rest of the. program. Therefore
the alliance between Chamberlain and
Burns hangs fire. But alliances are
made quickly in Great Britain where,
since the breakdown of the hereditary
system of parties, opportunism in poll
tics is popular. 1t is perhaps Mr..
Chamberlain'S greatest contribution to
English liberty that he more. than any
other man has contributed to the fail

not hesitate to press it with vigor,

make it a test of party regularity.

People continue to make inquiries
concerning the whereabouts Of John L.
Rockefeller but if any of his compan-
ions know where he is they are keep
ing discreetly silent. If he were in
court and sworn to tell the truth, he
might feel under obligations to do it,
and that may account for the manner
in which he faded away rather than
be placed in so unpleasant a predica-
ment. Some day he will be taken 10
to the presence of a tribunal where all
the evidence in the case will be read
from a big book. Then he'll have
to catch it.

THE ENGLISH LABOR PARTY.

The labor party in the new British
house of commons evidently intends to
make itself a permanent force in i'm
perial politics. It will have a separate
organization and will defend the polit-
cal independence of the labor party.
Among the things which it will de-
mand will be a bill defining the status
of trades unions This was very much
disturbed by the house of lords decis-
ion, on appeal, that a labor union
might be sued and be punished in dam
ages for its acts The eight-hO,lr
day and the sixty-hour week for ship
assistants; taxation of land values;
local veto, or, as we should call il.
local option on the granting of liquor
licenses; prohibiting of betting news;
old age pensions; adult suffrage with
out discrimination of sex: free educa-
ton; free meals for school children,
at the discretion of the school author
tiles. are other demands.
There is curious mixture of pa
ternallsm and socialism in these de-
names, and indeed the labor party is
composed of socialists as we'll as other
groups. The main one is the trades
union group. To it may be traced TIL,
demand for the eight-hour day and
the readJustment of the trades union
act The strongest opposition which
this group of lawgivers will have 10
lace Is the fact that even under pres
ent conditions British industry is SUI
fering. Shorter hours and higher
wages would merely accentuate that
severe competition which Germany
forced upon England in recent wears.
