Financing Electrical Enterprises.

There was material for much
thought in a recent address by Frank
A. Vanderlip, president of the New
York National City Bank, on the
growing tendency on the part of Wall
street bankers to invest in electrical
enterprises. Edison complained
some years ago that bankers were
averse to financing several of his
most promising electrical inventions
and George Westinghouse spoke of
the same prejudice. This has all
been changed, says Vanderlip, who.
after dilating on the magnitude of
present investment, INDUCED in a
most optimistic strain as to the fu-
ture. Referring to the financial
need which the Utilization of electri-
cal energy will entail in the next
five years, he said that at least $S,-
| 100000 week or $400,000,000 a
year could be wisely and profitably
utilized, if the money could be
found. In other words, at least $2,.
900, 100000 could, with advantage
to the people and that of the in
vestors, be placed in the securities
of corporations whose product i.
electrical energy. Should this money
be forthcoming we may be on the eve
of realizing the Edison vision tha
the United States will use electricity
almost exclusively for energy, fol
light, for domestic purposes and fol

! gence.

Ashland, Ore, Monday, Oct. 6, 1913

We have little use for those who
do not respect the American flag.
1t was raised as the emblem of re-
ligious and political liberty. How
ever, practically every new govern
ment that ever existed was organ
lied on virtuous sentiment, drifting
from that even into monarchy and
tyranny. The emblem was never
changed, but the government in prac-
tice slipped noiselessly away from
its original tenets and became op-
pressive and unjust. The difference
between monarchical and American
government in this respect is this:
The only plan by which monarch
ical despotism could be brought back
to the people was by revolution in
arms, but under our system, with a
free ballot, the people are the gov
ernment, or may be the government,
and reformation in government is
possible through a peaceful revolu-
ton at the ballot. box. Under our
free system is is the business of the
citizens to see that the government
is kept clean and wholesome-repr
sentative-so that national admins
tration may always exemplify what
the flag stands for, equal justice,
equal opportunity and government
for all the people.

Wireless Operators ana Disease.

The oft-debated question as to the
effect of electric waves, and particu-
larly those employed in the use of
the wireless, upon the human sys-
tenn is again to the fore. A German
writer declares that wireless oper-
ators are subject to anaemia but ii
is not clearly shown that this malady
is directly due to electrical causes.
Many wireless stations are situated
in unhealthy surroundings, and on
many vessels the operator works in
room defective in it's sanitary ar
rangements. An American electrical
engineer has made experiments on
sleeping cat, and he asserts that
under the influence of the waves the
animal leaped into the air as if an
alternating current had been sent
through it. However, as the cat has
always been supposed to possess q
highly electrical constitution, nc
very reliable conclusion can be de
Quoted from that fact. Most new
industries give rise to new occupa
tional diseases, but nothing is more
remarkable than the rapidity will
which they are mastered. A few
years ago it seemed as though the
X-ray would be strictly limited to it'
uses because of injuries to operators
but now one seldom hears of sucl
cases, though there must be at leas
million Roentgen devices at worl
in the worlds laboratories.

A preacher and college president
down in Indiana got into trouble by
spanking his old father. The pater
was charged with being abusive to
his wife, the mother of the spanker,
and admitted that he used stronge
language to his old life partner. Per-
haps this was not such a bad case,
after all. While the spanking of
children remains a national custom
and entertainment, we can see nc
reason why like chastisement should
not be administered to grown-ups
We know of parents who deserve
much more spanking than do theil
children. And at that they don't gel
any at all. Too often it occurs thai
chastisement is administered on the
wrong person. In the Indiana cas'
it seems that the spankee admits
that he deserved it.

Zeppelin Airship Accidents.

1t is interesting to study the his
tory of the Zeppelin airship, the lat
est model of which met with disaster
resulting in the loss of fifteen lives
There has been a mistaken impress
sion to the effect that the Zeppelin
dirigibles are safer than the heavier
than-air machines, but the facts do
not support the theory No less
than eight of these airships have
come to grief, and if we count a re-
built and remodeled ship as two
there have nine collapsed. The latest
naval Zeppelin fell into the sea off
Heligoland, and the history of the
others is as follows: In 1906 two
ships were destroyed, one being
wrecked in a gale under circum-
stances similar to that at Heligoland.
Two years later Zeppelin No. 4 broke
loose from its moorings during a
sudden squall, took fire and was soon
a heap of ashes. In the following
year the rebuilt Zeppelin No. 2
crashed into "a tree, and in the same
year No. suffered many mishaps.
In April, 1910, the rebuilt No. 2
was completely wrecked in storm
Two months later a passenger Yep
pelin, the Deutschland, was wrecked
in a wood, and in September of the
same year No. was destroyed by
fire at Baden Baden. Last year No
3 was badly damaged by fire and
No. 2, again rebuilt, was wrecked
at Cologne. Add to that record the
recent disaster. and it will be seen
that there is not much to support
the theory that the future of avia-
tion lies with the dirigible. There
have been far more accidents with
heavier-than-air machines, but in
proportion to the total number in
use the figures are not so fatal.

Ashohan Dam in the CatskilIs.

AShOhan Dam in the CatskillS.
The Hetch-Hetchy project has
been advanced another stage by the
unanimous approval of the senate
committee on public lands, and it
appears as though the senate will
indorse the recommendation The
two forms of opposition, that ema-
mating from those who, while not
averse to granting the wishes of San
Francisco, are yet against the claim
of jurisdiction set up by congress,
and that of the nature takers, seem
to have spent their chances of sue
cess. While on the subject of water
supply it is interesting to note that
the menace of famine has been re-
moved from the five boroughs of
Greater New York for at least gem
Grafton. The first gate of the great
Ashohan dam in the Catskills has
been closed, and if necessary the
Croton supply may be replenished
from the mountains before next jan
uary. This feat of engineering
which necessitated the removal of
seven villages and the impounding
of 13O,OOO,OOO,OOO gallons from
which the city of New York will de-
rive a daily supply of 100000, 900
gallons, siphoned under the Hudson
in an artificial river over $50 miles
long, is one of the greatest of it's
kind in ancient or modern times.

The new currency bill has passed

the administration measure. Only

course as many as eighty republicans
went on record as favoring the pres

A California judge held that the
Mann white slavery act covered TAX
ing a woman across a state line for
immoral purposes whether it was for
profit or pleasure. A Kansas judge
held that the same act did not apply
unless the accused had in view a
commercial profit from his victim.
All of which goes to show that every
judge has a right to his guess.

One great fact in human history
is this: There are always two sides
to every question, our side and the
wrong side. Cruel wars have been
fought, men and women have been
burned at the stake, all because they
were so hopelessly on the wrong
side that they could not be brought
TO OUR side.
