FIFTY WORDS A MINUTE.

One new device for rapid communication now
crowds upon anothers heels, fast they follow The
telegraph instrument which will tick off fifty words
minute is one of the possibilities of the immediate
future in Great Britain, according to the statement
recently made by Sir John Barron, parliamentary
secretary to the postmaster general
The circumstances in which the announcement
was made are not without interest. The Associated
Chambers of Commerce of Great Britain wished to
enlist the cooperation of the government in the
establishment of an a-British transatlantic cable on
the ground that the present cables are under Amer-
can control Sir John heartily opposed any such plan
and when he finally forced to make public his
reasons for so doing he forward with the
announcement that the British government would
soon install these rev telegraph devices, with capac-
ity of fifty words minute
Time-saving is one of the fields in which the
ingenuity of the present day finds its most fruitful
expression, and again it is found to be of special
importance in the means of communication whether
i'm the matter of transportation the transmission of
messages. The aeroplane has been perfected to a
point where it longer gives US a thrill and the
automobile, when it attains breathless speed
is commonplace. The telephone has been highly
developed, but there is still room for advancement
along the line of increasing the capacity of the tele-
graph, and one Of the new steps is within sight.
Apparently have but scratched the surface of
this electric age.

THIS YEARS SEAT OF POWER.

The keen interest in the outcome Of conventions
both Democratic and Republican, in the Middle
Western States, has peculiar and rather unusual
significance this year. For every political sign points
to the conclusion that the political Of gravity
has been transferred from New York to the Middle
West and Far West and that the determination of the
national result will depend very largely the voting
in States west of Indiana.
The extent and importance of this shift of the
political center is made more apparent when consd

as always; and there is disposition in all parties
to concede that New York will 60 Republican. Stop
ping right there, it would seem that the Republicans
were starting out with the odds strongly in their
favor. But, in fact, the significance of Republican
victory in New York is less important because the
same concession to current political opinion requires
admission that Indiana is altogether likely to 90 DEM
ocratc, and that either Ohio or Illinois, or both of
them, may 60 along Indiana and Ohio, or Indiana
and Illinois, would substantially offset New York /;
and the outcome would then be left dependent on the
results farther West
The Mississippi valley States are all in something
like ferment because the progressive doctrines
have taken firm hold there. Kansas, for instance,

because Wilson is looked upon as the more radical.
Oklahoma has given victory to the progressives in

SENATOR GORMANs PROGRAM.

Arthur Pue German, last years Democratic can
didate for governor of Maryland, is out with de-
mand that the Democratic legislature make good its
pledges to the State, by doing forthwith the things
it promised. Senator German talks like real pro-
gresSive, and his counsel ought to have the serious
attention of Democrats who regard the future of
their party and the confidence of the public as worth
attention.
Mr.. German insists that Presidential primary
bill ought to be passed. and made effective in time
for this years selection of delegates in order that
delegates to both conventions may be chosen directly
by the people. He also demands, in the same gen.
eral direction of giving the Governments control
back to the people, that law be passed providing
primaries for United States Senatorial nomination
Maryland is the seat of sharp contests for its
delegations to both the national conventions. 1t will
be better for the State, better for the Democratic
party especially, because that party is generally the
dominating one, if decision of the States Presiden-
,tial preference can be made in such manner as will
satisfy everybody and prevent any uncomfortable
charges of manipulation and perhaps fraud.

Presidential primary. Now the Democratic State

FOUR CONTRIBUTIONS
TO CIVILIZATION
To the Editor Of THE TINES:

To the Editor Of THE TINES:
Mr.. John d. Bradley having fur
nished two of the four answers called
for by your correspondent. De Bieu
Jay, viz, the Copernian system of the
universe and Darwin's theory of evo-
luton, ! shall venture to answer the
other two, although II may, after all,
be natter of opinion as to what con-
Sutute the four great discoveries of
the intellectual world.
In my opinion the discovery, in 1859
OF the law of the persistence or inde-
structiblltty of matter, by the great
French chemist, Lavoisier, ranks rs
one of the great scientific truths, and
the other equally important one, the
law of the persistence OF force or en-
stcian, Robert Mayer, in iSi2, is the
other. and these, together with the tive
mentioned by Mr. Bradley, make the
four great scientific discoveries which
have so profoundly Influenced man 8
mental conception of the universe ard
broadened his intellectual horizon.
The two laws referred to. mean in
brief, that matter and force are eternal
that they always existed and will al
ways exist; that no matter into what
infinite varieties they may be formed
and retransformed not a particle OF
matter or energy is ever lost, and that
MAJ be deduced the CorollarY, that that
which is indestructible could not have
been created.
The discovery and establishment of
these two laws have been pronounced
b. Ernst Haeckel as the greatest n
tellectual triumph of the nineteenth
century" COSMOS.

LIKES TEDDY BETTER
FOR FRIENDS HE LOSES

To the Editor Of THE TIMES:
We are liking Teddy better for the friends
whom he has lost,
For those old, stand pat Republicans who
have him double crossed.
We, the people, could see through them, but
because they were his friends
Teddy thought them working with him for
his own selfish ends.
Now, We guess. ne sees Friend William is
just bgoty Judge Taft,
Banquet eater hearty sleeper, who at college
has laughed
While the peoples wrath was burning until
now it glows red-hot-
We, the people, want our own way, want 1t
done upon the spot.
We all never went TO college, we attended
public schools
And il seems that for that reason Taft be-
leves us to be fools.
Foolish, maybe. We are, often, but we know
a dollar bill
And the little It will purchase gives us all
an ache and chill
Prices rising and no telling how much higher
they will go,
With our wag-S at a standstill where they
were long, long ago
Talk Of Taft to wealthy peoplS, Big Bill has
for u.s.
Put him out. with all his backers-if you
don't we'll raise a fuss
Once, indeed, voted for him. but we did
not know him then;
Give us Teddy. give us Teddy-we want
Teddy back again.

THE MASS. FARMER.
The Washington times., 1912-03-15
THE RESIGNATION OF DOCTOR WILEY.

indicated by the President, the Congressional
Investigators and the verdict of public opinion, Dr.
Harvey w. Wiley has today voluntarily resigned as
chief chemist of the Department of Agriculture. 1t
has been reported and commonly understood for
some time that he intended to take this step, and
little Gurprise will, therefore, be caused by it.
Doctor Wiley doubtless found his position at the
department difficult even after the exoneration he
received; for the enemies who had opposed him and
his policies so long, were continued in official posi-
tons that inevitably detracted from the completeness
and satisfaction of his vindcation.
The fight of twenty years for food law, in which
Wiley gave and took hard knocks and at last won a
distinguished victory for which he will always be
remembered with gratitude by the people, was never
theless severe drain on the enthusiasm of the man.
When that contest ended he found himself
plunged into another struggle to save the law for
which he had so long contended, and to make it do
the work he believed Congress and the country ex-
pected of it. Between the dscouragements and the
strain of such continuous struggle, and the allure
ments of larger income and comfortable working con-
ditons in private employments, it is not remarkable
that the fighting chief chemist has at last decided
that he ought to choose the latter career
In the public interest," it is to be hoped that
the execution Of the pure food act will be placed in
the hands of as earnest and sincere an admnistra-
tor as Doctor Wiley has been. Much remains to be
done before the whole policy and procedure of pro-
tecting people under this law be worked out and
made thoroughly effective.

ACCEPT STATE FAVORS
BUT STIFLE DISCUSSION

To the Editor of THE TINES:
The people who refuse to discuss
their religion never refuse to force its
tenets upon unbelievcrs. nor to conf
pei them to indirectly support it
through their State-paid ch4plins. tax
exempt church property and vicious
Sunday laws. Heretofore they have
been under no obligation to discuss ard
find it convenient to make it "impo-
lite to raise the question. 1t is so
easy to purchase peace at the price of
injustice and intellectual and moral
death that social towards are willing
to pay 1t. BY building OH the bed rock
OF the equality of its patrons The Times
has raised storm center that will
mark historic era. To find objectoTs
able to reply to their false history and
paraded moral superiority is an inno-
walton that takes their breath. Know
ing little of either history or science it
is no wonder they object to discussion.
Educated, undoubtedly, many of them
are, but ii Is a Onesided miseducation
based on traditional authority.
The school teacher who deprecates
discussion is scarcely aware that that
is the mode by which our courts ard
scientists settle all their disputes. When
she teaches science or history without
considering Bible theories she is buy
ing peace at the price of half education.
The conflict is irrepressible, and her
polite method is but an eNpcdient to
postpone a coming storm. 70 discuss
religion and politics is TO discuss right
living, and no sensible person should
object to that. Intense parusanship Is
either sign of mental weakness or Te-
Cuniary interest. Like the silVersm!thS
