The Meat Packers Association in
Chicago this week declared that ever
American farmer should raise at
least two beef cattle year, so as to
relieve the shortage. Sometime in the
next hundred years these mountain
sides will be partially cleared of trees,
and herds of cattle will be seen graz
ing thereon, but it will take humid
red or two years for our people to get
the idea. The present idea is to let
them Craze in forest. instead Of re-
moving all trees that are not suitable
for lumber purposes, and letting the
grass grow. You can't grow fruit in
this country, and the cattle industry
seems to be the only one ahead. espec

SPECIAL CLASSES FOR SPECIAL
CHILDREN

That u out OF every 100 pupils at
the threshold OF the public schools

Isl treatment. II possible apart from
other children. is the conclusion
reached by DR.. Arnold Gesell. of Yale
University. in a publication just issued
by the United States bureau Of Edu-
cation.
Take the ordinary kindergarten and
first grade. with a combined enroll
ment Of 100 pupils says DR.. Gesell.
Among this number we may expect
TO find at least one child feeble-mind-
cd. one child wis shutters: two or
three who seriously lisp: another ex-
tremely anaemic; a badly spoilt child.
another babyish-a year or retarded
in mental or moral growth: and still
another morally weak. There will be
one negative" child-passive. color
less: one over-sensitive. nervous
child. one superhcially prsCocious
child: another distinctly superior
eager. ardent. imaginative. sociable.
For some Of these children there is
no better disposition than prompt as
signment 10 a special class. the spec
ial class method having been put into
successful operation for Is different
types OF children. But even the spec
ial classes -particularly the so-calIeG
ungTaded classes for backward chill
dren that have been established in
our large cities-are greatly in need OF
inventory.
The diversity OF the ungrsded
class membership is often pathetically
picturesque. Here f. the roll call for
one such class in a large eastern city:
Twenty-four boys. 10 girls: nationRli-

DRAWING THE LINE.

The prospects now are that num-
Der OF the dives Of the city are to be
eliminated. The indications are that
keepers OF the most notorious have
had word 10 that effect and are pre-
pairing 10 accept the inevitable. Per
sistent reports have come to The
Argus since last Thursday that some
OF these places. including the Lincoln
club, have already closed, are packing
up ready 10 move. and that the keep
ers are preparing TO depart from the
city.
The public has been deceived so
many times with outward appearances
that The Argus Is not disposed 10
make any announcement of the abso-
Lutte closing Of any Of these places IN
Ill il is known the licenses are re-
voked. that there will be no more Ii
censes issued under any circum-
stances. and that the dives are closed
and something more.
That something more must be a no
tice 10 property holders that they will
be held strictly accountable for the
conduct of future tenants. more than
that, that the ~places shall not be
'eased or rented either for saloon or
1isreputable purposes. The Argus is
not, in this connection. undertaking to
lay down any Law TO the authorities,
city or county. II is merely announc-
ing the kind OF proof IL will accept
that the city has been purged OF the
lniquities against which the storm of
protest is raised 4 few convictions
On the strength Of pending indictments
for renting premises for disreputable
purposes will help toward the per
msnent housekeeping. And The
Argus for its own part believes these
successful prosecutions will come.
The temporary closing OF the dives
will not 90 now. It's all the way this
time, and the line must be drawn be-
tween the decent saloon and the dive,
once and for all
IL will be wildly recalled that a few
week. ago. following a crusade on the
part of The Argus against the unde
sirable and disreputable OF the colored
population, there was an exodus from
the city Of hOrdes OF the element OF
which the police were good enough TO
inform The Argus. but this paper stat
ed then that the outgoing crowd would
;ocn come back unless there was
rigid enforcement And Il did come
back
This time # must go for good.

Capital Comment
BY CLYDE II. TAVENNER
Congressman from the Fourteenth District.

tematically been suppressed oy the
American telegraph monopoly
The American telegraph monopoly
has not needed to use these fnyen-
tions. II has a large investment tied
up in anticipated equipment, and
rather than throw this equipment on
the scrap heap, it has suppressed the
inventions. Being a monopoly, II does
not fear that competitors will spring
up. Its service is chiefly used by
gamblers on the stock exchange,
gamblers in pool rooms, gamblers in
food products, all of whom live on
easy money and are not inclined to
complain against extortionate tele-
graph charges, since the telegraph en-
ables them TO gain their easy money.
That the people might appreciate
cheapening of the service has never
occurred to the monopoly. The peo-
pie are not TO be considered, anyhow.
Their use of the telegraph lines con-
stitutes less than 20 per cent of the
total business. In fact. being enfran-
chised TO serve the people with tele-
graph system. the old companies are
holding their franchises under false
pretenses. The average man uses the
telegraph only in case of death or
grave crisis.
Ninety per cent OF all messages sent
by the American telegraph companies
go on the anticipated simplex system.
That is. one message at a time on
single wire. In some of their busiest
Offices the companies send quadruplex,
or four at time.
The telepost invention sends more
words over a single wire than the old
system can on 6S simplex wires, or on
II worked quadruplex. IT can send
1000 words a minute, much faster
than words can be spoken. and the
same wire can be used simultaneously
for telephoning. Ii can send press
news so times as fast as the old COM
panies now handle II. The result is a
great cheapening of service, a cheap
ening that all the people might enjoy
If the government owned the tele-
graph lines.

And walked the floor and pounded on

And reused up the whole family and

More than half a century ago there
was a craze for modelling in WAX.
Among these waxworkers one be-
came SO much more skillful than the
others that she at last found herself
an object OF jealousy to the other
workers and their friends. This lady
was the young Countess Hiidegarde.

not pleased IN finding herself in such
a position. When II was reported 10
her that she was an object of envy,
that she was exciting antagonism

az a loss what to do in the matter.
Her nearest rival was the daughter

% words for % cents.
The latter IS a corporation, organ
iser for profit. II is not giving its
service away. 1t is earning a profit.
II is too small in the industrial world
TO hope TO break the monopoly in a
price-cutting war. 1t charges a cent
a word because at that charge IL can
earn a profit on every word sent.
The "Telepost" is the existing proof
in the United States that this govern
ment which does not expect TO earn
profits. can give the public a complete
telegraph service at a maximum
charge of penny a word, and prob
ably considerably cheaper than that.
How does the Chicago-St. Louis
company do 1t? Simply by making
use of existing inventions for cheaper
ing telegraph service. inventions such
as today are in use in every low
priced, government-owned telegraph
system in Europe. but which have sys-
