Wireless Telegraphy
BY GEORGE FITCH,
Author of "At Good Old Siwash."

Wireless telegraphy consists of let

jump across to another mast
Electricity is the greatest little jump

are now making thousand-mile leaps
and not feeling as important about 1t
as the man who jumps "a feet in the
Olympic games.
About fifteen years ago. MarConi of
Italy, succeeded in persuading cleo
tricity to make its first feeble jump and
soon aftcrward trained it to carry and
retrieve messages. This invention has
proved of vast benefit to the world.

That it was possible to create human
life by chemical means and that a baby
factory was not out of the question of
the distant future was asserted to-day

Animals are conscious and gifted with
the power of thought and imagination,
even though Roosevelt. who thinks him

know when they are being slaughtered
Plants are conscious. and Ruskin and
Goethe agree they are capable of exer-
cisinG strategy and forethought. Even
Darwin said plants were sensitive, and
hence he must have believed they were
conscious.

Down with Commercial Vice.

The construction by the Supreme
Court OF the United States of the
commerce clause OF the Federal Con-
Stitution. which gives the national gov
crnment the police power of the States,
should be hailed with the utmost sat
i>faction by all fair-mindcd citizens Its
benefits are far-rcaching Ii should,
and no doubt will, establish the status
OF the law forbidding interstate trans
portation OF the products of factories
or mines that violate the cight-hour
act
But its most telling effect will be
upon the law to which it applies direct
ly And Mr. Justice Mckenna has cx-
pressed it plainly when he said:
In the control OF morals of citizens
there is domain which States Cannot
reach and over which Congress alone
has power. and if such power be cx-
crted to control what the States cannot
it is an argument for-not against
its legality
Its cxertion docs not encroach upon
the jurisdiction OF the States.
OF course. il will be said that women
are not articles of merchandise, but
this does not affect the analogy OF the
cases; the substance OF the Congress
siOnal power is the same. The rights
OF man and woman cannot fortify or
sanction their wrongs, and ii they en-
ploy interstate transportation as a IA
cIlIty OF their wrongs it may be for
hidden them to the extent of the act
The Attorney General OF the United
States within the twenty-six months
since the new law went into effect
has secured convictions in 3N cases
in his efforts to break up the gang that
operates in conspiracy to destroy
body and soul A very serious OBJ
stacle in trying to get at the root of
the evil, and to eliminate it altogether
has been the lcnicncy in imposing SEN
tcnces, which in some instances were
truly appalling when compared with
the blood traffic at which the accused
had aimed
We hope that the decision OF the
Supreme Court will put some ginger"
into the methods and judgment of the
courts and make their future decisions
OF sledge-hammer force

CHINA TO FURNISH PORK.

From the rhuldelI hia North American
Ii is already an admitted fact that Ar
centina supplanting the United States
as the supplicr of beef to the great Euro
pean markets Not only Is she getting
the great British trade. but Argentina
beef is being admitted to continental
countries. where heretofore ancient pref
udice has largely shut out United States
beef
What Argentina has done in the for
'iGn beef market it might bc predicted
with reasonable safety that China will
do in the foreign pork trade. Just as
China has population that outrivals
that of any other nation. so is she the
worlds greatest hog reservoir. No hog
census has been taken there. any more
that has a census of her tCcming hun
dreds of millions of humans
But the hog is the Chinaman's standby
in most Of China's great provinces. and
is numbered by the untold millions
When the Chinaman wakes Up-and he is
Iretty near awake at this time. judging
from news rcports-then the hog raisers
and pork packers of the world may well
look to their laurels
II has been difficult to secure accurate
or adequate information concerning
Chinas hog supply or pork trade Occa-
sional brief news items and fragmentary
information from consular representa-
tives have been all that has been OBJ
tanned. Last year the high price of
American and other pork products in the
British market caused the beginning of
an export trade in Chinese hogs to Brit
ish markets. There was some question as
to the healthfulness of this Chinese prod
uct and the British government took
steps to investigate.
The Washington herald., 1913-03-03

upon to face at the very threshold of
his new position,
His record is that of sincere and
consistant advocate of arbitration and
of international peace. He has declared
repeatedly in speeches that nations
ought to bend their energies toward
abolishing war, so that their peoples
may be free to work out domestic
economic difficulties. which, at present
especially, so profoundly affect them.
He has urged that the United States
keep out of the thread of diplomatic
schcming abroad and that it seek no
aggrandizement of territory or power
by conquest. His ideal of this country
has been that of free government, a
model of unselhshness, generosity and
helpfulness. 1t is the irony of fate
thst one who has won distinction as
an opponent of war should come into
power at time when a threat OF the
mailed fist seems necessary, even as
preventative only.
Yet Mr.. Bryan has been a fighter
all the days of his public career, and
it is the more characteristic aspect of
his life which has brought his indi-
viduality into strongest relief. Mr.
Bryan has been crusader. He has
thrown great energy and aggressive
ness into one political struggle after
another, from his carly advocacy of
tariff reform in Congress, his Io to I
policy, down through the fierce con-
flicts of his three Presidential CAM
paigns.. He gave to his book describ-
ing the campaign of 1896 the name of
"The First Battle" When the war
with Spain broke out he raised a rcgi-
ment in Nebraska and went into camp
as its colonel, ready for orders to go
to the front No one who witnessed
his dramatic attacks on Ryan and Bel
mont in the Baltimore convention last
June can doubt his fighting spirit.

Another Jefferson Story.

Mary shaw. in the Century.
Jefferson was once strolling through
the corridor of a hotel in Terre Haute,
Ind, when a very pompous man came
Up to him and, extending his hand, said

know you very well. sir. ! am very
glad to see you in our city. You are a
great actor. | have seen You ever since
/ was little boy''-and he looked fully
as old as Jefferson-"and l have always
looked forward to your visit to this
place. Presently jefferson interruptcd

you very much. You are very kind If
the incident had only ended here, But
the Tcrre lautc gentleman went OH: Il
tel YOU, everywhere in this town people
are glad to see old Josh Whitcomb. "
There was a moment of silence and then
Mr.. Jefferson said: Il think you are mis-
taken l play Rip Van Winkle' You
must mean Mr. Thompson. he plays Josh
Whitcomb,' The cffusive gentleman
Paused long enough to collect his wits,
and then said creerfuIly: "Oh, YES. So
you are the old fellow who played Rip
Van Winkle?' Well, you're good, too

1t was such Constancy and candor and

Of all men alike upon the instant; and his
neighbors every day saw here the same
strenuous and simple gentleman they had
known before ever the war began.
1t was through the opening of the Po-

hand, that a way was found TO cure the
country OF its malady of weakness and

Antiseptic Finger Bowls and Doorknobs

There is bill before the LEGISLATURE
OF Pennsylvania providing for the anti
septic publication OF finger bowls whcn-
ever they have been used, because they
arc rcccptacles OF bacteria and a men
acc to public health. There may be a
difference of opinion as to the efficiency
Of numerous hygicnic reform methods,
bu; it seems inconccivablc that any one
should dispute the deadlincss of Dip
ping unshielded fingers into water con-
tanned in any receptacle which has not
been subjected to thorough anti-septic
cleansing since it was used last 1t
may be taken as a blot upon civiliza-
ton that heretofore these precautions
have been neglected.
The adoption of this needed reform
prompts the Philadelphia Evening Tel
egraph to urge another, the anti
septic doorknob. No doubt there is
a good deal in what our contemporary
says about this deadly instrument of
destruction of life or health" especially
since in the vast majority of cases the
knob is touched with the ungloved
hands.
OF course, it would be practically
impossible to sterilize each doorknob
every time it is used, but it may not be
necessary TO do that Tbera :. -o,...
to believe thai it will be possible to
elaborate a serum with which each
doorknob may be inoculated. and which
will render it immune and insure its
remaining in permanent aseptic con-
dition. The twentieth century awaits
to crown as not the least of its benc-
factors: The future inventor of the
sterilized doorknob.

short Selling in History.

From the Wall Street Journal.
The Legislature of this State prohibited
short selling in 1872. 1t repealed the law
in 1853 because 1t was SO obviously i'm,
possible that nobody took it seriously.
Failing to profit by this experience, the
Federal government passed a similar law
In 1864. That enactment lasted fifteen
days; and II our politicians. even at that
time. had been able to reason, 1t would
not have lasted fifteen minutes. England
had repealed such law in 1850 That
law had been on the statute bgpks for
l2s years. because no one dreamed of
obeying 1t. or thought 1t worth while to
repeal anything so obviously silly. The
French tried the same thing in 1885, and
repealed the law as fast as the constitu-
tion would allow. Germany finds herself
poorer by many millions of marks, and
the loss OF market which may probably
never return to Berlin by the borse act OF
1S96, which was finally repealed in 1905
This is the history of legislation to pro-
hibit short selling.
