WOULD POSTPONE PURCHASE
ACQUISITION OF PNEUMATIC
TUBE SERVICE OPPOSED.
Report of Commission of Post.
masters Sent to Congress by
Postmaster General.

III is not feasible and desirable at the
present time for the government to pur-
chase. to install. or to operate pneumatic
tubes
This is one of the most important con-
clusions reached by a commission appoint
ed by the Postmaster General to inquire
into the question OF the Feasibility and de-
STABILITY of the government purchasing
and operating pneumatic tubes III the
cities where the service is now installed
which were today transmitted to Congress
by Postmaster General Meyer, who ap-
proved the conclusions. The commission,
however. recommends the desirability OF
further investigating the subject OF gov
eminent ownership of the pneumatic tube
service in five or six years. The pneu-
matte tube service is in operation at pres
ent in New York, Philadelphia. Boston,
Chicago, ST. Louis and Cincinnati
Commissions Conclusions
The conclusions of the commission fol-
low:
That pneumati tic tube service is an i'm
portant auxiliary for rapid transmission
of first-class mail in the largest cities and
performs a function not at present obtain
able by other means.
THAT it is particularly available for
special delivery mail. first-class mail OF
local origin for local delivery, supple
mentary closngs of tirst-claSs mail FOR
dispatch by train. and for advance dis
patches of firSt-class mail from trains for
city delivery.
THAT when estabiis ned ii should also
be employed as far as possible economi-
caly for the transmission OF other mail.
THAT registered mail should be sent by
tube whenever security and CELEBRITY can
be combined.
That pneumatic tube service appears
TO be still in an experimental condition,
although progress has been made toward
the development Of d fixed standard OF
machinery.
That with the aboye reservation the
regularity and efficiency of the tube serV-
ice is commendable.
THAT the contracting companies should
be required to complete their contracts
without undue delay. in order that the ef-
feet OF full and complete systems may be
aScert aimed.
THAT the present contracts Will not eX-
pire for nearly eight years, and that that
period should furnish opportunity for per-
fecting the systems and for observing the
effect upon the postal service; that during
that period other methods of transporta-
ton may be developed which may affect
the question: and that y is desirable to
renew the consider alton Of the question
of government ownership in five or six
years.

Declares Several Officers Inefficient.

There are several officers i'm the
Ganization who are inefficient and are
not an earthly Bit Of good TO the com
mand. he remarks and II is proposed
to get rid OF them.
One Of the officers of The battalion is
quoted as saving that 'if the battalion
commander would show himself more Ia
the men of the organization and not act
solely AS sort of chief clerk it would be
better for all concerned.
Further il is declared that certain Of
the officers were behind a movement to

Nothing to Investigate.

AS matter OF fact. there is nothing
wha tever. in which this government Is in
terested, to investigate about this trans
action. So far as this government is con-
cerned, every step of the slightest i'm
portance has been made public by its
executive, and every step taken in France
has there been made public by the proper
officials.
The Congress took the action 1t did take
after the most minute and exhaustive eX-
animation and discussion, and the execu-
tive carried out the direction of the Con-
sress to the letter Every act of this gov
eminent, every act for which this gov
eminent had the slightest responsibility.

gress here. and following out the decree

untary act Of Mr.. Cromwell. | am now
able to present to you full information az

this government did not have any con-
Germ. and which are set forth in the ac-
companying papers.
II may be we'll to recall that the New

INDUSTRIAL EDUCATION.

DR.. Andrew s. Draper. commits
New York finds fault with the ele-
mentary schools of this country be-
cause they do not to a sufficiently
great extent. train for industrial
emp'oyments.
DR.. Draper declares that one who
goes out of the school system at the
end of the elementary school term
IS not only unprepared for any vo-
cation which will be open to him.
hut too commonly he is without
that intellectual training which
should make him eager for oppor-
tunity and incite him to the utmost
effort to do just as well as he can
whatever may open to him. He goes
without respect for the manual in
dustries, where he might find work
II he could do 1t.
DR. Draper thinks 1t is time to or
ganiZe wholly new form of
school as a part Of the public sys-
TEN, involving two classes, lone to
train all-around mechanics for
work in factories. where each is a
part of an organization. and where
much machinery is used-these to
be known as factory schools: the
other to train mechanics to work
Independently. mainly with their
own tools and without much ma
chinery these to be known as
t'ade Schools
That greater attention should be
paid to industrial training cannot
be denied, because the greater num-
her of pupils, after they are forced
to care for themselves engage in
industrial pursuits. Training voung
workmen so that they may do bet
ter work and thus earn more for
themselves and their families is a
plan so manifestlv sensible that no
argument can be advanced against
it,

BRYAN THE WHOLE THING.

A close reading OF the detailed
action OF the Denver convention
brings out the significant fact that
many of the leaders are of the opin-
ion of ex-senator James Smith OF
New Jersey, who said, when asked
about the vice presidency. Whats
the use. Go to Mr. Bryan. The
delegates know nothing about it..
They not only know nothing about
II, but 1t is no. necessary that they
should know anything about it,
The steam roller seems to have hit
many of the leaders very hard.
With Bryan heading the ticket on
a Bryan platform, controlled by the
radical element, there appeared lit
tie use for the conservative wing Of
the party to participate in the de-
alterations of the convention
The platform was really made at
Lincoln. AS proof of this Is the
fact that Bryan's paper. the Com
moner. first gave 1t publication.
scooping the Associated Press and
Denver following the developments.
All through the deliberations Of
the platform committee disputed
questions were settled by the final
statement. "Mr. Bryan wants It
this way" When this failed. as It
did in the discussion over the tariff
plank. the refractory ones were
brought to time by long distance
telephone message to the peerless
one at Lincoln. There were two fac
fions that contributed to the delay
over the platform making, but the
conservatives were greatly in the
minority. and any changes that
were made were on the side OF radi-
calism.
As a result Of all this there is an
indication that the work Of the
campaign will be thrown upon the
radical element of the party. They
demanded BRYAN and the Bryan
platform. and thew must be prepar-
I'd to make the fight on the issues
they have raised. with the luke
warm sunport of the conservatives.
The first Jolt received is in the an
nouncement that Hearst and the In
dependece league will not support
the ticket. BRYAN made direct
reversal of his first position in re-
cent issue Of the Commoner whom
he wrote with a direct attempt to
placate Hearst. His answer Is in
6fcated In the n'terances OF the
Hearst papers that today are saying
Lewiston evening teller. [volume] (Lewiston, Idaho) 1903-1911, 1908-07-11
THINK IT OVER.

Having furnished the platform
and the candidates, all Bryan has
to do now is to scratch around and
get the votes
The choice of Kern for running
mate will leave the platform speech
mate will leave the platform
speeches to the peerless one of the
persuasive voice who will soon be
swinging around the circle.
William Allen White seems to in
dictate that the demonstration at the
Denver convention was due to the
spontaneous outburst of hired ap-
p'ause
The idaho "MormOns" who went
to Denver were not allowed even to
stand on the side lines and see the
procession go by, but Dubois caught
the speakers eve and was among
those prominently mentioned.

THE LYNNOSCOPE.
Inventor Declares He Will Be Able
to See Around World

(LOndon Cor Detroit Free Press. J
The wonders of the Lynnoscope
the invention by means of which II
Is claimed that anyone can see
around the world. were explained to
al Express representative by the
inventor. All the old difficult prob
lens of making people invisible,
seeing through brick wall and
corresponding direct with friends
in New York are solved If the Lyn-
noscope fulfills all it promises.
Mr.. John WELLESLEY Lynn. the in
ventor, claims that he has proved
by actual experiments that his in
struments will allow people in Lon
don to see anyone instantaneously;
reflect any written message at
once to the most distant places,
and enable any person to see light
through the human being or solid
substance as If they We're not there.
THE Lynnoscope consists OF
three distinct instruments, said
the inventor. "They are used in
rejecting images like a mirror and
are not connectd by wires or work.
ed by electricity. These instruments
are the operator. the transmitter
and the receiver.
The operator is like large
square box with hoe at each end,
mounted on the end of a telegraph
pole, while the transmitter is a SIM
liar box. 1t contains. however, a
telescope arrangement which focus
es the image from the operator. At
the other point. where the image is
to be reflected, is another box-like
arrangement. At one end it has a
large brass funnel like phono-
graph. and at the other end screen
on which the image is correctly re-
fltlectd in the receiver. 1t will be
possible to present an actual reflec-
ton of the Derby being run. to an
in any London theater. I
not mean living cinematograph
picture. but an actual reflection of
the event. have secured perfect
reflections at distance Of 1856
miles. and have photographed
scenes so miles away"
