Written For The Georgian
By the Rev. DR.. c. H. Parkhurst

7HEN considerable number
w of people combine in the
enthusiastic support of any
doctrine, religious or economic, it is
safe to assume that there is some
thing in it,, more or less, that is
worth standing for and saving.
They may misunderstood their
own ideas and give to them mis-
taken shape. but, even SO, it Is rea-
sonable to suppose that, however
much of error there may be, there
is mixed with it an element OF
truth; and, if there is, it is a mis-
take to oppose it, for truth will
bear any amount of crushing with
out crumbling.
1t is in some such way as this
that it is necessary to look upon
what is known under the name of
Socialism.
Socialism is a difficult thing to
talk about intelligently. for to no
two persons does it carry the same
meaning; but it is safe to say as
much as this: That it is a policy
devised by the Disconnected for cor
recting social Embellishments and
for improving conditions of social
inequality.
Whether the methods proposed
for accomplishing this are the
wisest and the zest is a question
by itself, but in regard to the OBJ
ject which those methods have in
view there can be no question.
The poor are too poor, and the
rich are dangerously rich.
The poor do not have all that
righteously belongs to them, and
the rich have more than they have
the disposition righteously to han
die.

employed for wireless telephony.
The new aerophone is described
as being astonishingly compact.
The sender consists of a small box
containing battery, a motor and a
transmitter, which anybody can
carry about with him. The receiver
is equally simple and compact. The

Ayrton, the other for the electro
magnetic ear"
Everybody must rejoice at this
news. but there is no reason to be
astonished by it. 1t was inevitable.
1t had to come. We have at last
got SO close to some of mattress
greatest secrets that the real won
der would be a failure to get into
the very heart of them. They cease

in the harder places of life are

The electromagnetic Voice
The Time Is Drawing Near When We Shall Speak Around
a Now We Speak Across the Room.

n STARTLING prophecy. made
~ fifteen years ago by Profess
sor Ayrton, seems on the eve
of fulhllment, through recent ad-
vances in wireless telegraphy. and
more particularly wireless tele-
phony.
Said the English physicist: AL
though still far away, we are
gradually coming within thinkable
distance of time when, if per-
son wants to call friend, he knows
not where, he will call in a loud
electro magnetic voice, heard by
him who has the electro magnetic
ear. silent to him who has 1t not.
Where are you% he will ask A
small reply will come. I am at the
bottom of a coal mine, or cross
ing the Andes, or in the middle
of the Pacific. or perhaps, in spite
of all the calling, no reply will
come. and the man will know that
his friend is dead"
About four years after that
prophecy was made the world was
ringing with the news of the trans
mission of wireless messages across
hundreds of miles of sea. Soon
they were sent half across the
ocean, then all the way across.
The electro magnetic voice and the
electro magnetic ear had begun to
enter into the domain OF human
consciousness Everybody knows

1t is patience as much as genius

years on his invention Now that

First Step That Counts.


1t is the first step that counts.
Wireless biography was at the be-
ginning confined in its range to a
few miles But. with amazing
swiftness, that range was extend
ed, until now there is no recog-
nized limit. There is reason to be-
lieve that wireless telephony will
exhibit a similar capacity of ex-
pansion. The one implies the
other. They are sister arts"
Laboratory experiments long ago
demonstrated the possibility of
transmitting speech without wire.
1t could be accomplished over
small distances by electro mag
netic induction. An American in
ventor, Mr. A. f. Collins. showed
its possibilities a few years ago
in New York l myself was a wit
ness of the transmission Of tele-
phonic messages, by Mr. Collins
method, between ferry boats cross
ing the North river In some ex-
periments he made the voice audi
BILE at a distance of three miles.
Other eXperimenters have achieved
certain degree of success. But
Mr.. Grindell- Matthews appears to
have outstripped them all The diff
f1culties are purely technical, aris-
ing mainly from the fact that while
almost any series of electric waves
will serve to send telegraphic sig
mails, a particular form of wave,
having the same amplitude.

ing with astonishing rapidity, II the
reports of what has recently been
done in England may be accepted.
The "aerophone" of Mr. II. Grin
Matthews transmits human
speech over a distance of twelve
miles. 1t is no longer. a question
of simply sending signals which
have to be translated into intelli-
gble language, but THE VOICE
ITSELF GOES, and is heard with
all its intonations by the recipient.
Thus Professor Ayrton's scientific
dream is partly realized The voice
may at least be heard at the bot
tom of coal mine. though it can
not yet reach the summit of the
Andes, or the middle of the Pacific
ocean.

How the Rent Might Have
Been Prevented

If this had been done sooner, and
If Christianity had continued to
have given to 1t its original inter-
probation, the rent between the
classes and the masses might have
been avoided, society have main
tanned its proper solid1ty, with no
destructive competition to sharpen
the voracity of the rich or 10 in
tensify the bitterness of the poor.
The serious question is whether
there yet remains enough of the
pure spirit of Christianity to put
the church back into its original
relation with the wants of the COM
mon people.

Churches Feel Keenly
Their Responsibility.

Quite as pronounced was the
declaration made by the bishops OF
the Methodist church at their re-
cent conference in Minneapolis.
1t is an omen of good that the
Christian churches are coming to
feel more keenly, and to confess
more openly, the relation of ac-
countability in which they stand to
people in the everyday secular con-
Germs of life.
There are two directions in which
the churches have been in the
habit of expending a disproportion-
ate amount Of their thought and
effort to the neglect of common HUI
man necessitles-one in trying to
fit people for the world to come,
the other in debating the problems
of religion--it being forgotten, APP
parently, that if we are fit for this
world we shall certainly be fit for
the other, and that 1t is not the
conundrums of religion but its in
telhgible practical applications that
best serve the purpose for which
religion exists.
Christianity. as Christ lived it
and taught it, seems to have had
its strongest hold upon those In
humble circumstances, and to have
been less appealing to the educated
and well-to-do.
While, on the other hand, Chris
tianity, as 1t exhibits itself at pres
ent in the more conspicuous Prot
estant churches, addresses itself
with more effect to the classes that
were least affected by Christ's
presentation of it.
Which shows that there is some
thing in the situation that is fun
damentally wrong.
1t is therefore pleasant to OBJ
serve that the thought of the
church. as expressed in the two
conventions just mentioned. is Civ
ing a wider expansion to its inter
ests and sympathies and taking
upon itself the concerns, burdens
and deprivations of men without
regard to social distinction.

the annexation of Paramount is the
best example that has come TO the at.
tenion of those whoehave made q study
OF annexation conditions. 1t is tho
idea of the chamber to advocate the
extension of the city In all directions
~ rapidly as consistent with a con
sorvatiVe policy, thus getting the SUI
burban population in various sections
il. touch with the conveniences that
they deserve. and at the same time
save the city the expense OF regarding
streets and putting in new wateA and
lighting systems.
Negotiations are now in progress
with the Richmond, Fredericksburg and
Potomac Railroad in regard to the
extension of Monument Avenue across
the Belt Line. The railroad is oppos-
cd to more grade crossings and the
chamber is equally as emphatic in it's
opposition to overhead bridges that
have been suggested by the railroad
Neither side has committed itself in
any way on the subject. but 1t is cx-
pccted that a satisfactory plan will
be agreed upon.
Then. there is the contemplated
Bridge to take care of traffic in the
upper part of tho city, and to allow
the Petersburg cars to come up Ninth
Street and make connection with the
local lines within the city.
Officers of the chamber are also di-
rccly occupied with arrangements for

which had appeared in Virginia mat
tiers during the time he was away The
fist thing he did was to offer amend
ments to the omnibus claims bill, re-
storing the Virginia items which were
recently knocked out by the Commit
tee on Claims. These Items amount TO
probably, $4,000 or $4,000 an num-
ter something like a hundred In the
aggregate. They represent property
destroyed during the war by Federal
troops, and the money. when finally
paid. Will so to many individuals,
churches. lodges and societies of diff
ferent kinds all over Virginia. %.
When the bill is taken up Senator
Martin will insist that these items be
rut back. and he will make fight to
have them restored.
Senator Swanson will also take part
in the passage of this bill when 1t is
ready for adoption. With Senator
Martin. he will urge that the govern
ment pay it's debts In order that the
