Secretary OF the Treasury Mac
Veagh proposes as a precautionary
measure to withdraw from crcula-

greenoacks and replace them by
small bills. Congress has shown
much reluctance to authorizing the
Withdrawal of any Of the green

a Better Opportunity.

If there is any merit in a discov-
cry just announced from Scotland
as the result OF series of expert
ments, the late agitation about the
cost OF living will soon be relegated
10 the limbo OF curiosities and made
the subject OF antiquarian study.
This discovery is that the applica-
ton of electricity to garden bed
will make the plants grow more rap
idly and increase the yield OF vegc-
tables from twenty to 100 per cent.
The time for plants to come up after
the seed has been planted is said to
be reduced by one-half. The cleo
trio fluid does the work from over
head, and it is not necessary to go
under the ground with wires. The
application would therefore be quite
simple and practicable.
A general use of electricity TO
stimulate plant growth would no
doubt soon solve all problems OF IN
der production. Here is great OPP
portunity for some far-sighted Dem
ocratic statesman to seize at Wash
ington. BY leaving off the present
haphazard attempt to patch up the
tariff in accordance with Impractical
theories, or, to put it better, in the
absence of any definite theory at all
he should take up an investigation
OF this important discovery. Many
well-informed persons believe the
law of supply and demand has more
to do with some of the present day
problems OF the cost of living thar

many who think it safe bet that

"Non.pnrtisnnn Government

From time to time the Telegram
has editorially expressed its skepti-
cism of the sweeping claims made by
some investigators that the so-called
brand OF non-partisan city govern
ment would eliminate politics from
municipal campaigns. This paper
believes these persons have been
the victims OF a fallacious use OF

move the shadow from a substance
in the science of optics or eliminate
gravitation from water in the study
of hydraulics. Politics means moth

ating a city government in its

The Family Garden

Making garden is one OF the most
healthful and profitable employ
ments to which leisure time may be
devoted, but it Is one from which
many urbanites are barred by the
narrow confines OF the grounds on
which their homes are built. The
increasing value of real estate en-
forces the economy of using every
available foot in the most profitable
way and that is to cover the ground
with buildings of some sort that
will produce a revenue and for
which there is most likely to be
demand. Ont in the suburbs and in
the towns and villages the best use
to which the ground can be put is
raising vegetables for family use
and for sale TO the grocer.
While the work OF garden making
Is not. toilsome. notes an exchange,
lit demands some attention every day
and those who take 1t up with the
Fopening OF spring should do so with
the determination to follow L
through the summer in consistent
and systematic manner. Otherwise
the results viii scarcely warrant
the expenditure Of time and labor,
however slight it may he. Besides
providing the table with vegetables
fresh from the garden, which in
these days of long shipments and
withered products are real luxury,
the spading, hoeing and rak.ng af-
ford healthful recreation and exer-
else which men engaged in seden-
tary pursuits stand in great need OF
TO keep their bodies in healthful
condition and relax the mental
strain to which they are subject dur
ing business hours. Beyond the
benefits obtained in this manner
and the luxury of having vegetables
from ones own garden, picked inn
medlately before they are prepared
for cooking, there is the pleasure of
seeing things grow, pleasure of
which many people have little con
ception, for the reason that they
have never taken an interest in the
wonderful process of producing
things from the soil.
One need not go into gardening to
the extent OF raising truck for the
market to extract pleasure and
profit from it. A few small beds
properly cultivated will produce an
astonishing quantity of those vege-
tables most relished in summer,
such as peas, beans. radishes, lettuce,
caulinower, spinach, tomatoes, beets
and sweet corn and the amateur
gardener will find at the end OF the
season that his cost of living has
been greatly reduced by stopping
the bills for green groceries.

Efficient Service Requires
Sufficient Facilities

To meet these requirements Il Is
essential not only that there be at all
times sufficient cable facilities, under
one control, but that they should be
operated interchangeaoly with each
other and in close physical connec
ton with land lines as one system.
Ample spare facilities are necessary
to provide against the very frequent
cable interruptions.
Neither the Western Union nor any
one Of the companies OF the Western
Union group has, indep ependently of the
others, facilities enough to handle
the business which at times any one
company might be called upon to take
care of, because OF sonN particular
rush of business, or because of some
cable interruption Nor could any one
company furnish all the direct circuits
necessary for efficient service. al
though the combined facilities OF
these companies are ample if they
could be used supplementary to each
other and interchsngeably
AS II is, each company operates its
own cables through separate and dis
tinct Offices and under separate and
distinct management. All interchange
OF business is by actual transfer OF the
business from one company to the
other, with the consequent delay and
interruption Of a service III which
seconds are valuable.
