FOR GOVERNMENT OWNERSHIP.
Unionists Urge Consolidation OF Tel
egraph with Postal System.

President Small of the Commercial
United States and Canada to take over
the control of the telegraph lines now
owned by the Western Union and
Postal Telegraph companies, At the
same time he began campaign to Sc
cure congressional Investigation Of
the conduct of those companies in this
country. To this end the union has es-
!, tablished two funds-one for the direct
support of the strike and the other to
pay the expenses OF the government
ownership campaign. He asks that
trade unionsts in general and telegra-
piers in particular begin at once to
raise $2,0O0,00O for these purposes.
The strike was further strengthened
by the calling out Of leased wire OPP
orators in many brokers' offices, and it
was expected that the cable operators
would also join. On the other hand,
the telegraph companies claimed to be
taking care of all business offered, and
say that the strike is closed incident
10 far as they are concerned. Wash
was about to submit a report regarding
the telegraph strike to the President.
The strikers charge that the companies
are taking most Of their business sub
ject to delay, and that the dispatches,
instead of being put on the wires, are
sent by messengers in suit cases from
one city to another, to be copied and
delivered by local messengers.
1t is said that bill is to be intro
duced at the coming session by Con-
gresham Samuel Smith, OF Michigan,
which will authorize postal telegraph
systems operated by the Post Office De-
partnent.
Congressman Smith says: 'We pro-
vide for carrying the mails by the
Swiftest known method, steam, electric
railways and pneumatic tubes. Why
deny the right to the use of the tele-
graph? We carry the mails at loss.
Why not use the telegraph not only as
a convenience and blessing to all our
people, but to help wipe out the an
nual postal deficit? Who doubts that
the telegraph is an essential part Of an
efficient postal service?"
The constitutional right to establish
a postal telegraph system is unques-
toned. The government started out by
owning the telegraph system. In 1915
the government had built a telegraph

LANGUAGE Of seaguII, Found.

John Il. Watson, professor of psychol-
osy in the University Of Chicago, has
just returned from the Dry Tortugas
Islands, off the lower coast of Florida,
where he carried on investigations at the
Andrew Carnegie station. He gays that
he has found that the sea sulls have a
language Of their own which can be imi-
tated by human being. He finds that
they live in family groups in houses con-
sciously built for their purpose, and he
believes that they have politics in their
governmental affairs. For several months
Prof. Watson has lived in hut of boughs
on these tropical islands, tanning the great
ocean birds and getting close to them.
He thinks that tnese birds converse with
each other by means of the volume, tene
and duration OF their vocal sounds.

NELSON MORRIS DIES.
Pioneer Chicago Packer and Million.
aire Passes Away.

nire PASSES Away.
Nelson Morris, pioneer Chicago packer
and multimillionaire died Tuesday. Nell
son Morris was the third member of the
famous big four" packers. Philip d.
Armour and Gustavus +. Swift preceded
him to the grave, and Michael Cudahy
is the only survivor of the city's pioneers
in the packing industry. Mr.. Morris
death was due TO chronic affection of the
heart. with kidney complication, which
had its origin some time ago.
Nelson Morris was born in the Black
Forest, Germany, Jan. Z, 1910. His faith
er originally was a wealthy cattle dealer,
but he became reduced to poverty after
joining the revolutionary movement to
unite the Black Forest to Switzerland.
The father was an exile until the son
paid his ransom twenty years ago. Carl
Schurz was a fellow exile of young Nor.
ris, who, when he landed in Philadelphia
penniless was IL years old.
The young man walked to New York,
where he hired out to haul charcoal in
Lakeville Conn, for So month and
board. Later he worked his way on o
canalboat to Buffalo, thence walking to
Chicago. Here he went to work in the
old stockyards. Five dollars a month
was his salary the first year, increased
10 $40 the second year. All he
saved from his earnings he sent to his
relatives across the ocean. He began to
buy hogs when he was 10, making enough
to start himself in the cattle business a
year later. The packer used to tell how
Mt first he killed and dressed his own
cattle. He slept on the slaughter house
floor at night in order to be on hand early
in the morning with his beef and pork.
His first financial reverse came when he
was Is years old. When he was % years
old Morris suffered another reverse. He
Endorsed papers for creditors who went
back on him. Within year, however,
he had recovered from his loss.
He started his packing house in 1862
and during the latter part of the war sup
piled the army Of the West with beef.
Mr.. Morris was the first to export live
cattle from this country to Europe. He
received the first contract ever given to
supply government with beef. He OBJ
tanned important and profitable contracts
with France, England and Germany.

: Another notable increase in the volume
of payments through the banks testities to
sustained activity in commerce, and the
defaults reported are remarkably low.
There is, however, evidence of heavy
speculative operations in securities and
grain, and this interferes with more gen
eral confidence in the trade outlook. Other
adverse developments of recent origin i'm
press more conservatism in large enter
prisss, and the position of money offers
no encouragement. Notwithstanding the
drawbacks, demands are found equaling
expectations in the leading industries, and
there is no perceptible recession in pro-
duction and distribution.
Heavy shipments of currency to move
crops draw sharply upon deposits, and
the discount rate is firm at the highest
quotation this year, but reserves are well
maintained and most mercantile interests
are provided with requirements at this
time. Country banks have absorbed con-
siderable commercial paper, and the indi-
cations are good that western resources
will be found ample to satisfy legitimate
financial needs during the next few
months of pressure.
Crop reports reflect seasonable head
way in harvesting, and the condition OF
corn in Illinois and Iowa steadily Du-
proves.
Visiting buyers from the West and
South arrive in the greatest numbers this
season and are active in selecting fall and
winter requirements. Demands compare
favorably with this time last year in sales
OF dry goods, millinery, clothing, footwear
and food products.
Bank clearings, $221, 123,655, exceed
those of corresponding week in 1906 by
1876 per cent.

NEW YORK.

Buyers excursions have been feature
t the week, and the leading primary mar
kets OF the country have been filed with
country merchants AS result house
trade has been stimulated and orders for
dry goods, clothing and shoes show con-
Siderable improvement. Fall business, ex-
cept at few csnters, is said to equal
year ago at this date, the volume being
made up of numerous orders rather than
by any new interest or of heavy business.
In fact, many merchants display dispo-
sition to go slow, fearing that orders may
fall off, not because of decline in con-
sumption, but more particularly Of tight
ness of money.

Handwriting Tells Age.

Youngish mothers Of well-grown
what was held to be proper hand
writing for woman twenty years ago
Is no longer taught in the schools. The
queer angular hand that women still
affected ten years ago has given place
to handwriting with curves, and the
vertical writing Of dozen years ago
Is disappearing before a moderate
slant.
The woman whose handwriting is
marked by the extreme form Of the
angular style is as easily recognized
for a person no longer young as the
woman who persists in the fashions Of
1892 Some unmarried women who like
to think their state not immutable
would be glad to get rid of their tell
tale handwriting.
The younger grandnothers who did
not wake to the angular hand in time
to change now retain the essentials Of
the old copperplate style that was
taught in the COS and '70's. 1t is as
tonishingly neat and clear, but as man.
ifestly of an earlier generation as the
hoopskirt or the hustle.
The girls of to-day are reverting to
the handwriting of the generation be-
fore the copperplate was invented.
The women who were still young in
1910 used this rather unconventional
style.
