VIOLET RAYS AND WATER.
CIeyeIand's Proposed Experiment by
No Means Visionary.

From the Ohio State Journal.
Cleveland is meditating a very radical
effort for the publication of its water
supply, which consists of the introduction
OF the violet rays for the determination
Of the germs that may be In the water.
Even If this fails and the violet ray
may prove ineffective. it opens the way
for the application OF some other strong
and strange chemical force for the de-
struction of the microbe
We should not be surprised if within
ten years this method will push aside the
present filtration and publication plan.
1t is highly probable that in the great
pharmacopoeia OF nature there is some
remedy or antitoXin yet TO be discovered
for the correction OF the distempers of
the water. In the wide and wonderful
field OF radio activities there will be
found something, if the violet rays fail,
that will rescue the water from the af-
Fiction OF the germs.
II will not be bit more wonderful
than the moving picture and the wireless
message. II We can make a diamond

a radium salt beneath the table top. we

The Postal Deficit.

II Is reported that both President Taft
and Postmaster General Hitchcock are
greatly DESTROYS of doing away with the
postal defcit, and to place the Post
Office Department on a self-sustaining
basis. With such desire as this the
people Of the country are in entire ac-
cord II is thought that there are two
chances Of accomplishing the object
sought. One is 10 revise the rates of
compensation paid 10 the railroads for
carrying the mails; the other is by the
establishment Of parcels post system.
AT the annual convention Of postnas-
ters Of The second class. held at Atlantic
City recently, there was a strong decla-
ration in favor of a parcels post sys-

strong effort made In Congress TO en-
act a law establishing a parcels post

enormously to- the cost of carrying the
mail Since that time we have learned.
as "a people, that that argument was fall
laeious. and We have every reason to be-
leve now that, properly conducted, the
parcels post would be a big revenue pro-

ing.
One OF the chief arguments in favor
OF the parcels post system is the great
convenience il would be TO the public.
but another and more cogent argument
may be made on the score Of economy
The work parcels post system would
do would be the bulk Of the work al
present done by the express compa-
MES. and the government could rightly
undertake this. and do il at a 1.-THE of
the present charges and stin make mon
ey. The present rates Of :he express
companies are extortionate. and consid-
ering the enormous dividends that these
companies have been paying. there is
no excuse for allowing the people to
be robbed in so fragrant way.
For some reason the railroads. which
really act as agent for the express COM
panies. are willing to make special rates
10 those companies for the hauling of
express matter, but these railroads seem
TO manage 10 keep UP the high rates they
charge the government for the hauling
OF mails. The goods that are hauled by
the express companies are those that
under other conditions would be carried
by the parcels post. and every pound OF
such matter could be made 10 show

true there should be a report on this

session OF Congress that. in its plain
and simple statement of facts. should
show the economic folly of allowing this
monopoly to grow or to endure Every
thing points to the fact that this Is the
way to do away with our annual postal
deficit, which is a burden on every tax
payer, and which adds its quota to the
high cost OF living.

DIX AND "FINGY" CoNNERs.
Contrast Between Machine Boss and
Cultured Business Man.

+ From the Ne1 York Evening Post.
/ John 4. Dix, the Democratic nominee
/ for governor Of New York, has beer
chairman Of the State Democratic com
mitJee since June >. He was elected a,
a meeting in this city 10 succeed ". J.
I t'Fingy'D Corners, OF Buffalo.
Dix is far removed from the type
known as the machine politician. Broad
shouldered, fUll-chested, with clear eye
and complexion, showing an outdoor and
well-ordered life-Dix. as he walked into
/ the committee room after his election and
shook hands With Corners Of the bulldog
jaw, looked more like a man who had
come TO sit in judgment than one who
had come TO lead.
In his first words, spoken slowly and
without attempt at oratoTy, he was es-
senually the quiet-mannered business
man. the man OF education, rather than
the rough-and-ready political leader with
the familiar grin OF triumph. The differ
ence between Corners and Dix, as they
faced one another that day, was a differ
ence not only OF men, but Of species.

way into great wealth, furnished strik-
ing contrast with Dix, essentially a man
Of culture, a careful, progressive BUSH
ness man, a banker respected for his
tenacity and skill
There were two stories told at the time
of Corners retirement from the State
leadership, and they were keys TO the
character of the two men. Corners him
self told of an old experience. He had
worked as stevedore for some time. he
said, and eventually was put I'm charge
OF a gang, The day he started to work
in his new JOB he called his men to-
gether.
I'm boss of this gang" said he, and
before We start TO work I want to know
if there is any man who thinks he can
lick me"
There was silence for a moment. and
Corners repeated his challenge. This time
one man stepped out of line, and, shak-
ing his fist at the boss, said:
Corners. I can lick you"
You CAM" said Corners.
Il can. repeated the man, advancing
and preparing for battle.
"All right" said Corners, IF YOU can
lick me you are discharged. won't have
a man in my gang that ! can't lick"
Some time ago there were labor troubles
in many paper mills. and the director of
the companies in which Dix was interest
ed were congratulating him on the fact
that he was not having any difficulty
why should we have trouble?" asked
Dix. I'VE are friends. and we are work
ing together"
One day he went to his workmen at
noon and had a talk with them. He told
them that he and his felloW-directors ap-
preciated the fact that they had not
joined the general strike, but he wanted
that appreciation TO take some definite
form. orders, he said, were coming in so
fast that all ii needed was a little extra
eXertion to make the output large

The Lion and the Lamb.

1t would really seem like an example
of the lion and lamb lying down to-
gether. when. for the FIRST time in the
history of the country, employer and en-
ploye join together 10 induce the public
TO agree to pay more for freight, so that
the employee may be better paid That
was precisely what happened when the
four great railroad brotherhoods met in
New York and determined 10 ask the
government 10 allow the railroads 10 in
crease freight charges, so that the extra
receipts might be used to pay better
wages TO the railroads employees. They
agreed that the stockholders Of the rail-
roads are already being taken care OF.
and avowed that the increase in rates
would not be used to increase dividends.
but only TO raise wages.
As plea, this has. at least, the force
OF novelty. Back OF it, OF course is the
question OF the higher cost OF living; and
though. with the general prosperity of the
country al large. railroad employees have
seen their wages increased and their
hours shortened. they maintain that the
increase in wages has not kept pace
with the increase in prices Of necessities.
As an abstract proposition. every bne, We
are sure, would be glad 10 see the wages
Of railroad employees go up; but, as a
people, we are not such altruists as 10
want to pay the raise in trainmen' s
wages out of our pockets. Some OF US,
also, are feeling the higher cost of living.
and-"Charity begins al home"
The standards of living are going up
with the rise in prices. Already a raise
in wages is not all the railroad men de-
mand. Coupled with this is demand
for more favorable working conditions.
shorter hours, compensation for injuries
in service. and so on. All these are, we
do not doubt. laudable aims and ambi-
lions; but let US not deceive ourselves
into the belief that the philanthropic
railroads are going to pay for them. If
the railroad men get what they want. II
will be because veal of US, Tom. Dick.
and Harry-pay for H. The question
is not; Can the railroads afford to raise
the wages OF their men? The question Is:
Can We. the public, afford to do it?

This is true of Connecticut, where the

ISOLATED with the control of the rail-
roads. inasmuch as the convention sys-

The Republican party has refused TO
commit Itself TO direct nomination Of
party candidates. but has sought TO
