Minister Lyon
Back In America


Rev. DR.. Ernest Lyon. United States
minister to Liberia. Is In America on
two mouths furiough. This ID the
hrst vacation he has had since 1904
While here be will probably be called
upon by the state department to dis
cuss the report Of the American CON-
mission which recently visited Liberia
TO make u study OF conditions in that
part Of West Africa.
In speaking of conditions In Liberia
q few days ago Or. Lyon said:
Liberia Offers an excellent oppor-
tunity for the Investment Of American
capital. The leading citizens of the
republic believe that America can aid
IN Its economic development. The
trade now is controlled by the English
and German peoples.
THE visit Of the three ENJOYS from
the United States was especially pleas
ing to the ruling classes there. and
they think 1t indicates a new day for
Liberia. The commission was received
enthusiastically and given every oppor.
tunity for learning conditions at first
hand. The official report of the spe-
clal commission is awaited with pro-
found interest by leading citizens Of
the republic. who are hopeful that
many matters favorable to the ma
terial well being Of Liberia may be
presented.
The debt of Liberia is not very
large. and conservative business men
OF that country believe that $3.OOO.OOO
will place the republic on its feet and
make the way possible for an unpar-
alleied commercial development. The
debt is about $l.25O.OOO. The
remainder Of the $3.OOO.OOO could be
used in building railroads and other
necessary to improve con-
ditions.
Should railroads be built the cult
walton Of coffee. cocoa. ginger and
other products would give new In
dustrial meaning to the Inhabitants.
Fruit can be grown on an extensive
scale: also cane growing can be made
profitable. y
"Liberians are making commendable
progress along educational lines. The
Episcopal. African Metho-
dist Episcopal and Baptist churches
have established schools. which are
rendering praiseworthy service.
In word. ! believe Liberia offers
opportunities for development far be-
yond the ideas of the average Ameri-
can"
DR.. Lyon has been minister to L.
IBERIA since 1908. His services have
been eminently satisfactory to the
government he represents and that to
which he has been sent, and he has
been decorated BY Liberia with the
Order of African Redemption for his
services for the upiift Of
Liberians. This decoration Is the
highest honor that the government
awards and is given only to those
who render great services for the
good Of Africa.
Since his arrival in the United States
DR.. Lyon has been besieged with In
vitations to speak at public functions.
The citizens Of Baltimore. his home
city. have already given grand re-
ception in his honor.

SHAKES OFF THE RUM DEMON
Wisconsin Physician Advertises In the Newspaper Asking Friends to Stop Treating

MILWAUKEE, Wis, February 25.-- To shake off the shackles of the rum demon, Dr. II. F. Goeteh. tuberculosis expert and insanity expert, has issued a public proclamation begging his friends not to "treat" him to intoxi- eating liquors. Here is his announce. ment:
 "Hereafter II. F. Goetch, M. D., will not drink any intoxicating liquor with anyone, not even foreign nobleman. But, if sincere, cigars, coffee or tea ''
 Dr. Goetch wants to shake off the habit of drinking, but realizes that a man with his acquaintance and reputa. tion can not reform so easily just by a decision to do so. He issued his proc. lamation, therefore, in public note to the newspapers.

TRAIN D|SPATCH|NG BY TELEPHONE
 |S LATESL
RAILROADS OVER THE COUNTRY CONTEMPLATE ADOPTING
 THIS SUBSTITUTE

TOPEKA, Ras., February 25.-The Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe railroad has announced that 1t will soon operate its entire main line, from Chicago to the Pacific coast, by telephone instead of by Telegraph. Contracts have al- ready been let for the needed install lation, which will cost about $2,o00, ,000 The Union Pacific has already installed l23 miles of telephone between North Platte, Neb., and Sidney. The New York Central has been dispatching by telephone between Albany and Syracuse, and is extending the system to Buffalo. The Erie has been for some time doing the greater part of its dispatching this way. The Great Northern is installing a thousand miles of phones, and the Pennsylvania is trying out this system.
 The availability of tho telephone for train dispatching was discovered when the railroads found that an immense volume of complex business between city freight offices, receiving docks, and freight yards, involving the telephoning of contents of waybills and slips con taining many figures. When the nation. al and state laws limiting the working hours of railroad telegraphers to nine and eight hours put added operating expenses on the roads, and the unions would net agree to the employment of apprentices to help keep down the cost, the railroads began to try out the tel. ephone in dispatching, with the result that it is coming into general use. Any person of ordinary intelligence can send and receive orders by telephone, and some of thes best tower men today are disabled trainmen put at this work.
 There is no question of. safety in volved. The universal use of block sys- tems has taken from train dispatching the work of preventing collisions, and dispatching is now purely the manage ment of traffic. The telephone has been found moro efficient than the telegraph for this.
