of Chief Justice Marshall in the case Of
Gibbons agt Ogden, in which that great
jurist affirmed the right of the federal
government to regulate commerce on the
Hudson River, down TO and including
the Louisiana lottery and the origina-
package decisions.
Convinced of the unquestionable right
OF the federal government TO create ma
tional corporations and TO insure to them
protection against state enactments. the
President is still keenly. alive TO the
difficulties presented by any interference
with that taxing power which the states
have so long regarded as exclusively
their own.
He appreciates, for instance. that any
effort TO take from the hamlet, the
county. the city or. the state the power
10 raise revenue by the imposition of A
license system on those transacting busi-
ness in the several localities must meet
with violent opposition, even were it
dictated by wisdom.
He is convinced. however. that some
method can be found -shich shall recon
cile the privilege. if not the right. of
the states TO raise revenues by such
means and adequate protection from
baneful regulation or serious detrimental
taxation. 1t is TO that phase of the
problem that Mr.. Taft is now devoting
the closest study.
He has made such progress with all
the other phases of his discussion OF
this subject that he began to-day the
raorfipDS of his r)rpSSa e.
From now on he expects to hold nu-
merous conferences with his legal ad-
visers to the end that the best possible
solution OF this intricate problem may
be found.

Aldermen Refuse to Act, Although
Warned by Mayor.

The adjourned meeting of the Manhat
tan aldermen TO elect a successor to John
F. Ahearn, President of the Board of AL

The uses to which Motion Pictures
may be put are many and varied.
For educational purposes in schools
they have assumed Importance scarcely
second to text books. In Church work
they have become factor and in pol
itical campaigns and for advertising
schemes their value has long been re-
cognized. They are also used for re-
cruiting purposes in the Army and Navy
for the amusement and education of
Deaf Autes, Exiles in the Leper Colon
les, sufferers in hospitals, and on Ocean
liners to influence the immigrants to go
West. Studies in Botany and Hort
culture, showing the Progress of plants
from the planting of a seed to the fru-
ition of the plant has been made, and
naturalists and hunters have applied
them with equal advantage.
Now come the newest and most i'm
portant phases of all.
The Motion Picture Patents Company
has issued license to the United States
Navy to operate under its patents, in
making motion pictures of Battleships
in action.
The camera will be adjusted after
the fashion of the Compass, so that it
will remain level in spite Of the pitch,
ing and tossing of the ship. Pictures
will then be made of the various YES
sells under full speed firing at a target.
The result will be shown on screen,
as in regular motion pictures show,
before the Naval Board, thus enabling
them to study the relative merits of
the different classes of vessels, their
methods of handling and firing, their
efficiency etc.
This will be the first time in the
World that Motion Pictuses have been
50 applied, and the scheme is likely to
be of great value to theiNavy, especial,
ly in the Ordnance Department.

WIRELESS u ELEPHONING
ADVANCES

Even in these days Of marvels,
when people accept wireless telegra-
ply as commonplace achievement
and the navigation of the air is an
accomplished fact; the news from
Toulon regarding experiments there
in wireless telephoning is Of lncom-
mon significance. Two officers OF
the French Navy, Lieutenants Jeance
and Colin, appear to have perfected
an apparatus which has solved some
of the problems, though it is far from
indicating a revolution in th tele-
phone.
Wireless telephones were installed
on the Pacific feet Of the United
States il 1907 with reported success
but the distance was much less than
that recorded at Toulou. Last
Septembe the British Admiralty
conducted 81 interesting series of
e experiments, and attain maximum
distance of 40 miles in communicate
ing between ships at sea. In this
instance the Herzian waves were
transmitted across the Isle of Wight,
which lay were stationed between
the places where the ships were
stationed
Relatively more progress has been
made in wireless teiephoning in the
past couple CT years than in wireless
biography. Similar principles in
the transmission of electro magnetic
waves are employed i'll both. So far
neither wireless telephoning can be
regarded as Substitute for the ordin.
airy system of wire teIegraphy and
telephony now in use on land. They
are better adopted for communica.

other ship or a station on land

The Boy Who Turns On His
Mother.

SHOW sharper than serpents
tooth is an ungrateful child! y What
do you think of young Lyman Briggs,
of Taunton, Mass, who had his own
mother arrested and sent to Jail The
very thought is shocking to any person
of refiued sensibility.
"She cheated me, and that's why l
had her arrested, says the boy. Let
her stay in Jail. l have no sympathy for
her"
Could you believe that any son with
spark of manhood in him could speak
of the mother who bore him The Briggs
family, it appears, once was wealthy
and when the elder Briggs died he left
considerable fortune. The son. who is
the heir, asserts that his mother has
lost, of the estate that was to come to
him, $50, 900 in specializing in the stock
market. So he causes her arrest on the
charge of eInbezzlement, and she is
taken to jail and must remain there be-
cause she is unable to secure the re-
uuired bond of S 600.
The loss of the fortune he expected
is severe blow to the young man He
is naturally deeply disappointed and
chagrined. But that he should wreak
such a revenge on his own mother
sh locks the public sense Of decency and
robs him of all sympathy.
There is no more binding Command
ment than "Honor thy father and thy
mother" the only Commandment with
promise, "snd thy days shall be long
in tie land" Even the most dutiful
children do not realize how much every
child owes to its parents. The father
devotes years of labor and earnest
thought to provision for the child and
it's future. But upon the mother de-
solves the hardest task in the rearing
and training of the child. In the act
of brin ging it into the world she risks
her very life, and for years afterward
her care and attention must follow it
every hour. Upon it she pours out all
her wealth of love and tenderness and
expends upon it all the treasures of her
physical, mental and moral being. Such
services cannot be measured in money.
Not $500 nor any other amount,
| will ever equal the service that she
gives without money and without price
MANY times the child is not worth the
| sacrifices made to bring it to maturity
But the mother gives all willing in the
hope that her son will grow up into a
| strong, chivalrous man who will be of
use to the world. What sorrow could
| be so great as to have him turn out
such creature as would repudiate the
mother who bore him, expose her to
shame and disgrace, and in his foolish
and pitiful revenge even have her sent
to the public prison?
The Massachusetts, boy may have his
revenge, he may drink to the dregs;
but he will find it the bitterest draft
the ever mingled cruelty, ingratitude
and remorse in vile mixture-Balti-
