THE PRACTICAL VALUE OF THE
xrYrDr1T uoo
WIRELESS.

For three weeks a New York paper
has published in it's Sunday edition
a full page of dispatches from Eu-'
rope carried by Marconi's wireless
system Of telegraphy. This is the
most significant and satisfactory dem
onstration of it's practical value that
has yet been made; it shows the pos
sibility Of the invention as factor i'll
the work of the world.
One can not form an estimate yet
Of its use as a daily means Of news
paper service, owing to the fact that
the dispatches for the Sunday paper
are probably received several days i'll
advance of publication, and come in
a more leisurely manner than the live
news Of the hour must be carried.
But at least the fact is established
that across the many miles Of ocean
etheric waves are bearing tidings Of
another hemisphere so consistently
and intelligibly as to admit Of their
being printed for the eyes of great
newspapers readers.
1t is most remarkable develop
ment Of modern science in it's atmos-
phere of mystery. 1t seems to bridge
the gulf between the visible and the
invisible; to be one of those strange
links of fact that are gradually being
forged by men in various departments
of research to unite the material with
the psychic. Who knows but the day
may come when every man will be
his own wireless receiving and dis
patching station, and the emanations
Of the brain cells will be carried on
the tenuous medium of the ether as
surely as those of the electric bat
tery?-Louisville Herald.
Watson's weekly Jeffersonian., 1907-11-28
CAR FAMINE AND HARD TIMES.

1t is difficult to imagine how hard
times and freight traffic congestion
can possibly go together, but that
seems to be the situation at Buffalo,
where there is more wheat than the
railroads can move. There is not d
district In the county in which freight
is moved promptly. There are not
cars enough. There is a downright
scarcity Of locomotives, and as for
terminal tracks and even tracks in
general, there are not enough to meet
the transportation wants of the vast
general business of the country.
The car congestion is so great in
New York the public service commits
sion Of that state has cited the rail-
ways to show why they do not fur
nish shipper car within four days
of the filing of request for one, and
the railroads propose to answer that
they are helpless and have resorted to
the embargo" as the only way to
provide the maximum of service to
the public. By the word embargo"
is meant a refusal to accept during a
given time any shipments of wheat
to Lake Michigan points.
And yet the prices of railroad
stock are criminally low"; the scar
city of the currency is felt, and the
land is full of predictions of dull times
for a short while. All this can be,
and yet the railroads can not move
the business that is offered them, and
the country is full of great crops. The
talk Of hard times under such circum-
stances seems paradoxieal, but We viii

INTERNAL NAVIGATION.

INTERNAL NAVIGATION.
Navigation has been opened on the
Illinois and Michigan Canal, connect
ing the waters of the Mississippi and
Illinois rivers, and the first steamer
passed through last Friday.
Plans are now under discussion to
enlarge greatly this waterway so that
ocean-going vessels will be able to
pass through from the Great Lakes to
the Mississippi and thence to the
Gulf.
This is only one of numerous SINH
lar enterprises for. the development
of internal navigation that are be-
ing contemplated or prosecuted in diff
ferent parts of the country.
Wherever there is available water,
plans are being considered to develop
and to utilize its resources, both for
purposes of power and navigation.
Our own great river is one whose
potential resources have up to the
present time been least developed; but
our people are now rousing them
selves to the great importance Of tbs
subject, and earnest efforts are be-
ing put forth to inaugurate a compre-
hensive system Of improvement that
shall extend from the mouth to the
source Of the James.
At the request of the Upper James
River Valley League, the Board Of
Directors of the Chamber of Com,
merce has called special meeting of
the Chamber, which the public is in
vited to attend, for 8:15 o'clock to-
night.
Incalculable as would be the value
Of navigation and the development of
water power on the James to the peo-
pie Of the entire valley, Richmond,
seated as she is at the head of deep
water navigation, would necessarily
reap the greatest benefits. She would
be the market and exchange place for
the trade and products Of the valley.
Not only would agriculture and
manufacturing industries receive
powerful stimulus from the cheap
transportation that navigation would
supply, but men would be encouraged
to develop the undeveloped treasures
Of mineral wealth that are known to
underlie so great part of this SIM
gularly neglected territory.
The natural resources Of this valley,
if properly developed, would be capa-
bic of maintaining in comfort a popu-
lation greater by far than that now
contained in the entire State. The
influence that such development would
have upon the fortunes of Richmond
can be at least vaguely understood by
the least thoughtful and rejecting.
1t is to bring home to us a better
and clearer appreciation and realiza-
ton of this that General Hardin has
been invited to address us tonight
Richmond Journal.
Watson's weekly Jeffersonian., 1907-11-28

ZaClOn man mas not grown less, DuC
more, wasteful of the world s re-
sources. Speculation and greed drives
him on regardless of the result. The
claims of posterity are ignored, as he
ruthlessly wastes the iron, coal and
timber, so necessary to the needs Of
man.
The last and greatest steamship
afoat, the Lusitania, which is a won
der of success, crosses the ocean from
England to New York in four days
and nineteen hours, at cost of one
thousand tons of coal per day. Just
think of the thousands Of steamers
burning from fifteen to one thousand
tons per day. Then add to that the
locomotives and factories, and you
can form a faint conception of the
great amount Of coal used daily. If
one could see the hole made in the
earth each day, he would have an OBJ
ject lesson that would make the whole
world pause and think. Today if you
mention to the average man that we
are destroying too fast the world 5
resources, that we are buying progress
at too great cost, he will invariably
answer that invention will supply
something else in lieu Of timber, coal
and iron, when the supply has been
exhausted, that it will last as long as
he will. Such selfish impulses should
not exist in man. While the material
side of life is necessary to certain
extent, it should not be permitted to
supersede the ideal. England, small
island, is mining all the coal possible
and shipping it TO foreign countries
for speculative purposes. When you
mention the subject to an English
man, he will answer that coal extends
under the British Channel and the At
lantic Ocean, that old England S sup
ply is inexhaustible, and that there is
no danger of the supply giving out.
Well, in our time it will not be-
come exhausted. But should we not
have some feeling, some consideration,
for the generations that are to come
after usq And just to thing of it,
Such waste is called development.
Our idea of development is to take a
twig and by cultivation bring it to
maturity; in turning the bush to a
tree, and thus produce a value that
did not exist before; in removing use
less weeds and from seed produce
something necessary to human life
and happiness. We can not remedy
the coal question unless we can find
some way to use less. We can in part
restore the timber. If the state, for
example, would award three prizes to
those who plant and cause to live the
greatest number of young pine trees,
in the following manner: So 900 to the
first, $4,000 to the second, and 81, 900
to the third, there would be more
trees planted in one year than will be
planted in fifty if the people are left
to their own volition. We can think
Of nothing for which the state could
spend money that would give such
