Prevent Legislative DeadIocks

It would prevent legislative dead locks due to the contest among rival candidate, such as are witnessed almost every other year, when a senator is to be chosen in some states. It would prevent such deadlocks as in Delaware, and because of which for many years, the state had only one member of the United States Senate, and, where during the effort of Gas" Addicks to get to the Senate, the state was without any representatives in the United States Senate for two sessions of the Congress.
 It would popularize government and tend to increase the confidence of the people in the United States Senate, q confidence which has been seriously in- paired during recent years.
 In order to prevent the adoption of the resolution now pending before the Senate. and brought there from the committee on the judiciary, through the efforts of Senator Rayner of Maryland, . democrat. and Senator Borah of Ida ho. republican, aided and abetted by such men as Senator Owen of Okla homn. democrat, and Senator Bourne of Oregon, another progressive repub- lican, the reactionary leaders have re- sorted to the method of loading 1t down with obnoxious and objectionable amend ments.

Let Corporations Fight

tTOn Leslle B.
 In a recent interesting address before New York branch of the Young Mems Christian association, Paul D. Cravath suggested that the time had come for the corporations to present their side of the case. We agree with this conclusion. We know of instances in which the most reckless and unfounded charges mado against certain railways and industrial corporations were never resented, be- cause those who were in charge of these organizations declared that, no matter what they said, their defense would be misstated and would only lead to fur ther attacks. The weakness of such n statement is obvious. No one should seek fight, but to run away from one is always regarded as an evidence of eow- ardice The difficulty with the situation is that the public has had only the muck rakers' side of the discussion Ex-Gover- nor Black, in his recent eloquent address before the bankerA of New York. en1pha- sized the point that MT. Cravath has also made Let our captains of industry demand fair play, let them answer libel- ous accusations and hold the libelers to the truth.

Telling Trees by Wire

From the London Telegraph.
 A Berlin inventor has recently designed simple device for the felling of trees. The trunks are cut by the friction of g. steel wire about one millimeter in dam eter which, as demonstrated by practical tests, is able to cut through tree about 20 inches b0 centimeters) in thickness in six minutes The wire. which is carried two and fro by an electric motor, is heat ed by friction on the tree to such an ex- tent as to burn through the timber, the result being cut which is both smoother and cleaner than that effected by saw.
 The wire will work satisfactorily on the thickest trees without the insertion of
 wedges into the cut, and the trees may be cut immediately above or below the ground In the latter case the stump may be left safely In the soil. The motor which actuates the wire is placed outside of the range affected by the fall of the tree, and when electricity is not already available it can be generated by a trans portable power plant consisting of ten
 horse power petrol motor and dynamo, which are left at the entrance to the for st during the felling operations.

OUR NEW CROP
 OF MILLIONAIRES
From the London Times.

From the London Times.
 The fundamental fact is that many people have grown rich too quickly. At any time up to the last few years it might generally be said that throughout the smaller towns of the country, espe- cially in the west, the rich men, the most prominent citizens,' were the best men in each community. They might not be the most cultured, but they were men who had made their own way under hard conditions, who had grown up with the country who had built up large businesses by their own labor and were men of character and integrity.
 Now a new condition has arisen. Tn the decade from 1887 to 1907, and espe- cially in the first few years of the new century, fortunes were made with great rapidity-in a few weeks, a few months or in a year or two. They were the re- suit of the extraordinary rise in all val ues and were to a large extent the fruit of bold speculation. or at least of spec ulative methods in the conduct of legiti- mate business. It was no longer case of laborious effort and slow upbuilding; and the men who thus became suddenly rich were of a type different from that of the successful men of the preceding generation.
 The attitude of the public toward them is different from its attitude toward the rich men of the older type. Without say ing anything go absurd as that all these newly rich are unworthy of their for tunes or are using them in unworthy ways, one cannot help seeing that the example set by many of them Is unedi- flying. tst. r :
 We know that something of the same sort is occurring also in other countries. Anyone who has spent some time at an English seaside resort of recent years knows that the most undesirable and disorderly class of visitors is to be found among those who come down in costly motor cars; but whereas in Great Brit ain the unlovely rich are comparatively few, they are here constantly In evl- dence, and there is no doubt that the people resent them, their manners and extravagances, intensely.
