Up.To-Date Canning Factory.

]. Barnes Bailey, Of Forest Hill. has in
vented canning house outfit that will
save the time and labor OF three men and
turn out sanitary canned tomatoes with
wonderful rapidity, and should prove a
boon to the canning industry. The outfit
consists of an endless chain worked by
machinery. and as the cans are filed they
are placed on the chain, which travels
through scalding water and steam and
passes to the man at the end, who puts
them in cases.
The cans are crimped by machinery,
which does away with soldering, acid and
gasoline. His canning house in Southern
Maryland is fitted up with the device.

THE ANARCHY IN WEST VIRGINIA

 By the authority of military commanders per sons were deprived liberty, the ordinary condnc ct of trade and commerce suspended and citizen n that eghborhood has any constitutional guarantee to anything
 The right of the military to commit this ton was by the Supreme Court of West Vir ginia majority of the court sustained the military But dissenting opinion by Judge Ira E. Robinson, is nevertheless the better law and the better justice The constitution of West Virginia contains this provision:

 The United States Senate has instituted investi- gation the unwaranted abridgement of the liberties of the people Virginia It should result in the exposure and punishment of all those concerned the lawless effort to overthrow orderly government
 The rich employers of this country must la learn that the laws cannot be suspended at their will whenever they choose. Too examples of this of anarchy among the influential have recently cured
 The conduct of the authorities during the Lawrence strike in Massachusetts showed the laless spirit the evidence not sufficient to bring the crime home tG the trust president to whom it imputed.

THE HUMAN PROCESSION

Society is an ass," declares Sir Oliver Joseph Lodge, the great Eng fish scientist This is only a polite way of saying that in Sir Divers opinion, which is not without weight, we, as social units, are 1elated to the jackass. And yet Sir Oliver is so amiable, charitable and hopeful in his expression of undattering estimates of humanity that one readily forgives him and is even inclined to admit the truth of his accusations. The enin- ent savant will receive the congratu- Iations of his colleagues of the British Association to-day, this being the six ty-second anniversary of his birth.
 Sir Oliver is one of the great sci entists who entertain a faith in inn mortality. although his views that interesting subject are hardly in ae- cord with orthodox Christianity. He inclines to a belief that there is some basis of fact in the idea of pre- exist ence@not an obvious truth and one to be set forth in a formula, but truth that def1es accurate description and is not to be identified with the popular notion of reincarnation.
 Sir Divers views on the questions that confront humanity, as expressed in Modern Problems" are interest ing and tIaought-provoking He sees society just barely emerging from the stage or ruthless and savage cOmpet1- ton. War he regards as not only monstrous, but irrational. The whole competitive commercial system he considers barbarous. He holds that many kinds of competition, so far from benefting us, or increasing our wealth, are among the curses of civil ization, and that substantial progress will be impossible till they are got rid of.'' Sir Oliver would substitute some sort of cooperation or socialism for the present system, but on this point he is not very clear. He points out what the trained, scientific mind would suggest as a substitute for com petition, but adds, That society should allow itself to be ridden by monopolist only shows that society is an ass.'' For all that, he has hopes for us. With the growth of the trust movement, continuing until industry. is concentrated into the hands of one group, humanity win become arous- ed.

ALASKA WANTS SCHOOL BOARD
 AND SUPERTNTENDEN

A Territorial board of Education and two superfntendents of schools are asked for by the Alaska Iegisla- ture in a memorial just transmitted to Congress. The petition recites that although Alaska. now has a white pop- uIation of about 10000 with 5000 children attending the 42 white pub lie schools there is as yet no Terri torfal board of education, examining board, or superintendents to govern such schools
 The legislature asks that the board of education be made up of the gover- nor' secretary, and treasurer of the Territory, and that it appoint the two superintendents of schools. The board is to have power to grant Territorial educational diplomas, Life dfnlo- mas, and -.hrst-grade certihcates'' to properly qualified teachers. It is specified. however, that normal school diplomas or State certificates from any of the States in the Union shall be accepted as satisfactory evidence of fitness to teach in the Alaskan schools.
 Wou1d-be teachers in Alaska, are to be examined in much the same sub 5ects as teacher in the various States -algebras geography. history, etc; but particular stress is to be laid upon hygiene, with special reference to the nature and effects of alcoholic drinks and other narcotics and stinulants upon the human system
 The action sought by the Alaska legislature from Congress is for the white schools alone. The native schools in the Territory are directly under the control of the National Government, through the Bureau of Education.
