Editorial Comment
They Are Honorable Men.

NISbCIttSttT. N. L. IttllIH''
From New York dispatcr we learn
that coffee is apt To become Il luxury
in the United States, instead Of an
every dHy necessity, as at present, ana
one af the cheapest. Recently we have
commented i'll this department on tue
late Increase IN the price uf coffee to
the consumer. TIE retailer FASTENED
to acquaint us with the fact that il
was necessary To increase III" price
though we had not asserted any
thing to the contrary. 1t WAS shown
that Il committee of bankers nae
get under the market, bought every
thing in sight, and by a system Of
doling out in limited quantities haG
caused Zig jump in tie price, Yet
these bankers are honorable men.
Now we are informed from New
York that further rises may be eX
pected II the valorization committee,
which jealously guards the worlds
supply i'll the interest of the producers,
cannot be prevailed upon to let out its
reserve stocks at u more rapid rate,
If the present rate of advance in price
is maintained coffee will become
luxury within another year. Amer
IL LII COlltt merchants Itti ttilN nave
to go abegging before the representa-
tive of the committee in this country
every time they want him to loosen
up for another thousand ha IS. Those
bankers, however. are honorable men.
1t is said that the appreciation of
the price of coffee under the manipu-
laticns of this committee of bank
ers"-who are al honorable men
has in lass tan year been 200,
D0o. That is all coming out of the
pockets of the poorer classes, for. as
one Of the largest retail dealers in
Rochester informs US by letter. 1t is
only the cheaper grades af coffee that
have been atIected-the higher grades
very little. We hope that it is neces-
sly only to call the legal department
OF the government at Washington to
the operations OF those honorable
bankers.

Multiplex telephony Solved.

The rnultiplex system of telephony
has been solved by a signal officer of
the u. S. army. The invention that
promises to reyolutionize the entire
system of speaking over wire has
been patented by Maj. George O.
Squier. and the best of il is that he
gives all rights to the public. The in
ventor reserves neither royalty nor
exclusive right. Maj. Squicr has been
working on his invention for about u
year and patents were issued to him
on Tuesday of this week Maj. Squier
felt that as he was an officer of the
army il would not be proper for MIN
to profit by his invention. He explain
ed that the invention consists in the
application of wireless Instruments to
AN ordinary telephone instrument. The
extra converse tons are in the ether
surrounding the wire. he explained.
and not on the wire itself. But several
messages may be sent via the same
wire at once. The messages have been
sent over a distance of about z miles,
and Maj. Squier added that wireless
transmission in this manner is posi-
bile. Conversation or music carried in
this way, he added. seems more clear
and distinct than over an ordinary tel
ephone. This system has been in
stalled between the research laboratory
of the bureau of standards at Chevy
Chase, Md, to the signal corps con-
struction laboratory at ITO Pennsyl-
wanna avenue. a distance of several
miles.
The possibilities of this invention
are beyond present accurate reckoning
but none will question that it will ef-
feet d huge saving. AS Maj. Sauier
said: "consider for a minute that the
report of Mr. John j. Carly. chief engi
necr of the American Telephone and
Telegraph Company. states that this
company has 12.ooo.OOo miles of wire in
operation. Consider also that this re.
mort. made month ago, states that IL
4be first six months Of 1910 the com
many he represents spent 100000 fol
new construction of telephone ano
telegraph wires. 1t is only one of the
great mechanical discoveries OF the era
in which we live. 1t attracts little
comrent and causes little surprise be-
cause we're in a mood not to be sur
pr.sed at anything. ! The man who DE-

Uncle Joe's LEGACY,

The joke is not all on Uncle Joe Can
non, whose friends are congratulating
him Oh legacy said to have been left
by a woman who died in India. The
amount is widely advertised as $1,000
00J. Members of Mr.. Cannon's family
laugh at the kilograms of congratula-
ton on his good luck. They say it is
an attempted swindle. A son-in- law
said
"Those Bombay lawyers must think
Mr.. Cannon is pretty soft. I suppose
he will get letter in a few days ask
ing him to remit $4,000 for some pur-
pose or other, and then they will seek
employment to assist him in getting
the legacy. Some years ago, the
Speaker received a letter from some
foreign country. in which he was told
that he had been left a considerable
fortune. The Speaker was puzzled for
q time to know who his benefactor
was, but u few days later there came
demand for $40 to assist in paying
the necessary expenses in getting the
fortune This is the same kind of a
stunt, I am certain"
In other words the Speaker seems to
think it an attempt to pull his legacy.
Now if some one would invent a
multipleX listener to go with Maj
Sauier's invention, what living JOY
to rubber!

Fun of Victory.

Fun of Victory.
There's heap of satisfaction
In trouble If you grin.
If YOU keep your nerve in action
And you wear a lifted chin.
There's JOY in doing something
That you've never done before.
SO don't be a deaf and dumb thing,
Chance is knocking at the door
Down and out. there's fun in rising,
Fun in facing heavy odds,
Doing deeds that are surprising,
Aud the happy fellow plods.
Plods along and huns ditty
AS he Journeys down the street
OF the busy, gold-mad city,
TIL he's back upon his feet.
It's in overcoming trouble
That fellow gets his fun;
It's in shattering the bubble
That Is labelled cant be done
Its in striving night and day time
When the problem hopeless seems
Man appreciates his playtime
When he's realized his dreams.
There's heap of satisfaction
In trouble If you grIn,
Difficulties have attraction
If you keep lifted chin.
And the harder that your fight Is
Then the greater is your fun,
And the finer your delight is
AS you view the things you've done.

last "eek. MIR Tobey left the horse
standing in the upper part of the vii
lage on Monday evening and when he
returned he found that the horse had
disappeared The horse was hitcfied
to a sled that held several bags of
grain and tho theory was that horse,
grain and all had gone home. This
proved untrue and no clue could be
found as to the disappearance of the
horse. Search was kept up without
avail through until Friday night when
Calvin Horne dreamed that the horse
was back of the cemetery, caught be-
tween two trees. He was so much i'm
pressed with the dream that Satur-
day at daylight he went to the spot
and sure enough there stood the ola
horse with his load precisely as he had
been left Monday evening. The strang-
est thing about it was that the horse
was to all intents and purposes unin-
jured from his long fast and severe
exposure.
