Rapid transit as it perhaps had never
been dreamed of by any other man has
been offered to the Postoffice department
by an Effingham, Qll) inventor.
This inventor had scheme to run a
railroad train at the rate of eighty miles
an hour for 500 miles without stopping.
which he claimed would unload passengers,
mail and baggage meanwhile. His device
would whirl the most delicate passenger
out Of the car into the station without
lessening the speed of the train or injuring
the passenger. 1t would do the same with
mails, he said.
On the grounds that congress gave to
the Postoffice department no authority
to buy railroad equipment the invention
has been declined, but the inventor has
written to President Taft offering free
use Of the scheme and suggesting that
his appointment as chairman OF the Pana-
ma canal commission will be considered
adequate return for a little while, any
way.

One day last week q group Of college
students from New York paid their respects
to the speaker. In his talk to the young
men he complimented them on their ad-
vantages, but added that knowledge gained
at college was of little value unless backed
up with courage and energy. Years ago.
he said, he had received a diploma from
law college. He had started west from
Cincinnati with his diploma, and probably
would have gone further west II he could
have stood off the conductor OF the train
any longsf. AS it was, he stopped in CEN
trail Illinois, in a new town of a new county,
instead Of going on to Chicago.
He rented a little room or an office
spent his last 80 cents for a frame for his
diploma and hung it up in his office. For
two months not single individual beside
himself crossed the threshold of that office
He was standing off his landlord and his
boarding house keeper, and both were get
ting uneasy. One day he entered the of
flee, looked at the diploma and decided IT
would never bring business or fortune He
jerked 1t from the WALL tore 1t from its
frame, cut it into strips with his pocket
knife, and stamped It on the floor. 1.-The
diploma in itself was of no use to me-"
he said.
Il mention this incident of my life
merely to point out to you that before
prosperity and success come to man
starting in life he must come into con-
tact with his fellow men, apply the prac-
tical side and keep up his courage 1 kept
up my courage, and by and by began to
get on in the world"
The boys heartily cheered the sentiment
and voted Uncle Joe "a jolly good fellow"

other signs Of the campaign, too. Thousands

huge vans. These vans go numbering down
Pennsylvania avenue almost every hour

RAILROAD STRIKE IN FRANCE.

Paris, Oct. 12.-The strike of the
railroad men, which threatens to
spread throughout France, was de-
nounced to-day by Premier BRAND
| as IAN instruction purely built upon
criminal foundation
The Premier declared that the
strike was called while negotiations
were going on through himself and
the Minister of Public Works for an
adjustment of grievances and he pro-
missed that the instigators would be
criminally prosecuted.
The river Seine, which in January
threatened to destroy Paris, now
looms up in the role of savior. The
government has made arrangements
to rush food supplies to Paris from
the sea, requisitioning all tugs, boats
and barges to meet the crisis brought
about by the stoppage of the railway
service, and the ease of the food
market, which is already hard hit,
The employees of the Eastern and
the Paris, Lyons and Mediterranean
railroads have not yet, to any ap-
preclable extent, responded to the
leaders call to strike, and the gov
ernment's weapon of mobilization has
induced some of those employed on
the Northern Railroad to return to
their posts. Nevertheless, the North
ern and Western railroads are pros
trated.
The call to the colors has been
ignored by the large majority, and
at mass meetings held to-day the
strikers reiterated their determine
ton not to respond to the call.
Much destruction has been
wrought on the Western system,
where strikers and their supporters
held UP and derailed trains, block
ed tracks, destroyed signals, ripped
up rails and cut telephone and tele-
graph wires. The government has
ordered the arrest of a score of the
strike leaders, and instructions have
been issued to the troops to use
severe measures wherever occasion
requires.
