It has also been said: Spying is one
of the odious necessities of government
in every great autocracy. and the need
of 1t becomes greater as the legal in
hibitions and requirements become
more numerous. A government per-
forming the functions Mr.. Roosevelt
believes essential to the promotion of
the peoples S happiness must have more
informers, stool pigeons and spies than
one of simpler functions. Agents and
investigators must watch corporations,
officers of companies and individuals
closely, constantly and in hidden ways
to get the facts necessary for the en-
forcement of the laws. The probability
that, a. body. of such men will be used
for improper purposes is apparent"
Senators and members of the House
of Representatives have felt the rigors
of the spying system. While the per-
sonal. lives and the domestic affairs or
some of these senators and representa-
tives have been inquired into and their
personal habits have been made the
subject for official discussion the CHIEF
purpose of the surveillance has been TO
ascertain how his or that senator and
representative really felt toward the
administration and its policies, many

To Rid London of Fog
by Charges of Electricity

s. LONDON, December 10.
~1 IR OLIVER LODGE, the great electrical scientist, believes that he
will be able shortly to rid the British Isles Il M of the worst
A% enemies OF their prosperty-that variety of fog which from line to
time tesu III the entire activity of whole communities.
Sir divers idea is to dispel fog banks by electrical discharges. The
Westminster Council has rented a large open space # ground near the
Grosvenor CANAL where within a few weeks the experiment will be carried
ot. It will c@t 10000. This money will be furnished by a snnan private
syndicate. which expects to patent the process If it proves successful and
then to make a enormous fortune by dspostng Of it directly to different
communities or to such enterprises a. stree. "a and railway companies,
whose profits diminish tragicaly every time a London particular settles
over the face of the earth.
e. L. Walford, who introduced the scheme t the Westminster Council,
told te correspondent of the London Daily News that there was o doubt
in his mind al to h success of the experiments. Technically described
he said, 1.-THE process is about as follows: Electricity is driven into the
fog at a light voltage from a series of disks placed or the tops of poles.
The currents act directly on the constituent of the fog, millions II minute
particles falling to the ground in the form of black snow after having
been tossed hnher and thither for a time. The invention as first tried in
Sir divers laboratory, where an artificial mist of smoke and steam was
created and was rapidly swirled, twisted and dissipated with complete
success" +t P pt
Sir oliver asserts that If the idea should not be successful in Its wddest
sense it is 1t least certain that fog thus a be dispelled ,overa wide area
on either side of great railway lines. thus diminishing accidents.

Benedict Arnold Was Branded
Traitor, but a Spy! For
Shame!
TRAITOR is a man who was once

- your friend, but who, through
outside influences, or change of
feeling, or hopes of personal gain that
criss-crossed his perspective, or even
ideas of revenge for a fancied or real
slight, joins or heads the forces that
work against you and lets you find it
out at your leisure.
But a spy-the very word fills one
with dislike-sH one who, serving others,
comes to you and offers the right hand
of fellowship, works with you, laughs
with you, sympathizes with YOU, until
he has won your complete confidence
and friendship, that he might have
lengthy reports concerning your real
self to give to those who r paying
him for the information.
We might forgive a traitor, knowing
his motives and his weaknesses, IL he
turned against us fairly and squarely,
throwing the gauntlet into our. faces.
But for the spy our contempt is so
great that it reaches even to u finger
tips and urges us to strang1e him, that
his black soul may be expressed IN his
blackening face and bulging eyes.
Yet the city of Washington today Is
filed with spies; a whole army of secret
