1t is an axiom in history that the
greatest danger in democratic forms OF
government is the tendency to mob
violence and public disorder. This re-
public has now been in existence near
ly century and a quarter. Its found
ers were men of exceptional political
wisdom The constitution which they
framed has been justly praised as one
of the greatest productions OF the hu-
man intellect The republic under THIS
constitution, during its existence, mas
grown from a little to great nation.
1t may Justly claim to have produced
great results in most of the arts Oh
civilization, but it has not yet sue
ceeded in establishing a steady ana
uniform maintenance o. public order.
The tendency to mob violence and the
extent of unpunished crime which ex-
ist in this country is today the great
est menace to American society.
purpose to consider briefly the extent
of the evil and to suggest what seem
to me the best remedies for it,
The habit of reading a modern daily
newspaper, which is now SUBSTANTIALLY
universal in this country, but which
has never before this age existed III
any community, and the full erect OIL
which upon the mind of the people,
for good and for evil, is not yet GER
tainly known, has one result whlc- Is
apparent. That is that it concentrates
the attention of the public almost
wholly upon the events of today, anu
withdraws it's attention speedily from
the events of yesterday The result is
that most great crimes, which attract
widespread attention when they are
first discovered and described IN the
press. are substantially forgotteh
within a short time after the newspa-
ners cease to discuss them. The pup
lie attention being concentrated on the
events of the day, the enormous ag-
gregate of the amount of modern
crime passes unnoticed.
1t is impossible to obtain accurate
statistics of unpunished crime in this
country. But rough computations may
be made which will serve to illustrate
the extent of it.
The Chicago Tribune, for some years
past. has published statistics OF the
lypchings which have occurred annu-
ally in this country. For many years.
according to these statistics, there oc-
Cured between 200 and 300 lynchings
in each year. During the five or SIX
wears past, the annual number mas
steadily diminished Last year it was
stated to be 67. 1t will be conserva-
tive estimate to put the average num-
ber of lynchings which have occurred
in this country in the last forty years
at $50 annually This would make g.
900 lynchings occurring in that time.

"QUANTITY, QUAIL
iTY AND PRICE"
THE THREE ESSENTIALS THAT
ARE GIVING WESTERN CANADA
Greater Impulse Than Ever This Year,

The reports from the grain fields of
central Canada, (Which comprises the
provinces of Manitoba, Saskatchewan
and Alberta) are to hand. The year
l9O9 has not only kept pace with pre-
Vious years in proving that this por-
ton of the Continent is capable of
producing splendid yield of all the
smaller grains, but it has thoroughly
outstripped previous seasons. There
is quantity, quality and price and from
all parts OF an area of about 100000
square miles there comes the strong
refrain of contentment and satisfac-
ton. In the distribution of the con-
ditions causing it no district has been
overlooked.
various estimates of the total yield
OF wheat for the country have been
made, but it is not the vast total that
influences the general reader so much
as what has been done individually.
The grand total-say 130 million bush
els-may have its effect on the grain
price of the world; it may be interest
ing to know that in the worlds mar
kets the wheat crop of Canada has
suddenly broken upon the trading
boards, and with the Argentine, and
with Russia and India, is now a fac
tor N the making of prices. If so to.
day, What will be its effect i've or ten
years from now, when, instead of
there being seven million acres under
crop with total yield of 125 or 130
million bushels, there will be from II
to 30 million acres in wheat with a
yield of from 325 to 600 million BUSH
els. When it is considered that the
largest yield in the United States but
slightly exceeded 700 million bushels,
the greatness of these figures may be
understood. Well, such is a safe fore
cast for Canada has the land and it
has the soil Even today the Prov
ince of Saskatchewan, one of the three
great wheat growing provinces of Can.
ada, with 100000 acres under wheat,
produces nearly 90 million bushels, or
upwards of one-tenth of the greatest
yield of the United States. And Sas-
katchewan is yet only in the begin
ming of its development. AS Lord
Grey recently pointed out in speaking
on this very subject, this years crop
does not represent one-tenth of the
soil equally fertile that is yet to be
brought under the plough.
Individually, reports are to hand
of yields of twenty-five, thirty and
thirty-five bushels to the acre. Scores
of yields are reported of forty and
some as high as sixty bushels. The
farmer, who takes care of his soil,
who gets his seed-bed ready early, is
certain of splendid crop.
The news of the magnificent crop
yield throughout the Canadian West
will be pleasing to the friends of the
thousands of Americans who are resi-
dents in that country and who are
vastly instrumental in the assistance
they are rendering to let the world

portable wireless set which has recently been de-
signed by signal corps experts and the first
ample of which has lately been completed at the
signal corps shops in Washington under the drec-
ton of Electrical Assistant H. B. De Groot
Not only does this compact little wireless
equipment conform to the requisite of minimum

lem presented in this new ield--namely the pro-
vision of safeguards against spark from the tel

which through accident design might escape
from the bag of the balloon There is consider
able difference of opinion among electricians
to what danger of explosion would exist under
normal conditions. Some experts contend that,
considering the air currents created by a balloon
in motion there would be practically no danger
but the United States army aeronauts oognizant
OF the tragic consequences that would assuredly
follow any such explosion at high altitude, have
naturally been loath to take any chance and have
had precautionary measures taken in the con-
struction of the apparatus designed for their ex.
perir2ental work.
This wonderful new aerial wireless set which
weighs, all told, only about 70 pounds occupies or
rests upon wooden frame of special design
which measures 80 inches in length, II inches in

energy for this cloud-climbng telegraph station
is supplied from an ordinary eght-volt sparkling
battery such as is used In automobiles This

Prof. Alexander Graham Bell inventor of the
telephone, who has been engrossed for several
years past in experiments with kites formed from
tetrahedral cells and who has latterly designed
a man-fting kite that has made wonderful
performances, has included wireless telegraphy as
one branch of his kite Investigations. For this
telegraphic work he has employed kite Of
paratively modest size preceded by small pilot
Kite and these have usually been flown at height
of about 1000 feet The kites carry aloft tele-
graphic equipment in the form of ordinary green
electric[ght cord, to the upper end or receiving
terminal of which is attached 400 feet of antennae
wire. The telegraph operator is stationed close by
the reel of piano wire-the point from which the
kite is sent up.
DR.. Bell has had the cooperation in these ex
perments of Mr.. De Forest, inventor of the wire
less telesraphy system which bears his name as
well as the aid Of other wireless elegraphy experts
The original kite messages via the artificial birds
sent aloft by Dr. Bell were transmitted distance
OF only six miles, but gradually this increased
until the transmission attained hundreds of miles
and included the exchange of aerograms with
steamers more than 100 miles at sea- In one ex-
