An old Ea.hioned Virtue.

Mason City Globe-Gazette: Hats on

One can't help wondering how many
lawyers, doctors, preachers, merchants
and newspaper men-not to mention
school teachers-could spell those l.
400 words correctly.
Spelling's an old-fashicned virtue.
The spelling bee in the little old red

tices. It is shown that the wages paid
to porters is but $27.5O month. The
company is given thirty days in which
to correct certain evils found in the
service and the commission pays its
respects to this corporation In the fol-
lowing terms:
IF it be found that It's rates are
generous and that this company is not
poor, but merely mean, and that the
American public is dealing not only
justly but generously with this insti-
tuition, which in It's turn deals unjus

then the American public certainly
would be justified in at least dis
pensing with the generosity and limit

as it is, to the barest amount that the
cold considerations OF Justice warrant
1t in securing. The Pullman company
attempted to make this commission
believe that the wages 1t pays en-

expect its employees to secure money
from the public. 1t is hard for us to
determine which should be criticised

in it's action In this regard, or its sup
positions that 1t could make this COM
mission believe a thing which every

The United states makes over five

of the democratic tariff law, declares
Mr. Esch, means an increased displace-

TRANSATLANTIC FLIGHT.

WASHINGTON, D. c., July 3.-The
possibility Of transatlantic ocean
fight IN q heavier-than-air machine
in thirteen hours Is pointed out in a
communication to the National Geo
graphic society, at Washington, D. c.,
from DIR. Alexander Graham Bell, In
ventor Of the telephone and former
president Of the society.
"The distance from Newfoundland
to Ireland is less than 1000 miles"
says DR.. Bell. This means that II
you 60 at 100 miles an hour you will
cross the Atlantic in twenty hours
less than day. We have flying ma.
chimes that go at greater speed
than that. We already have ma
chimes that could cross the ocean II
their engines can keep going Tor
twenty hours. OF course. these are
exceptional machines; but even the
ordinary machines OF today make hf-
ty miles an hour with ease.
Now, flying machine hies faster
as you 60 higher up, because the
rarer air offers less resistance to the
motion, while the propeller gives the
same push with the same power.
whatever the elevation. AS you get
into the rarer air the propeller spins
around faster. A 50-mile-an-hour ma
chine flying two miles high in the air
and we have machines that have
gone twice as high as that-will fly
much faster than fifty miles an hour.
Then at an elevation Of two miles
high in the air there is a constant
wind blowing in the general direction
Of Europe having a velocity anywhere
from rs to so miles an hour
"As a net result Of all these things
there can be little doubt that any or.
binary machine that Is able to support
itself. in; the air at an elevation OF
two miles high will attain speed Of
at least 100 miles an hour in the d.
rection of Europe, and that means
going from America to Europe In q
single day. Calculation shows that
taking all these circumstances into
consideration. our best machines
should be able to cross the Atlantic in
thirteen hours. I hardly dare say II
aloud for publication. 1t is sufficient
" startling to know that It is moi
only possible, but probable, that the
passage may be made in single day
But II. as I imagine, 1t can be done
in thirteen hours, you may take an
carly breakfast in Newfoundland and

State Supervision Of Private Banks.
Muscatine Times-Tribune: With the
object in view of bringing all private
banks under state supervision, an
other effort Is to be made to have the
Iowa state legislature enact law
making this possible. Prominent Mus-
catine bankers declare they are prac-
tically unanimous In their stand for
the proposed law.
The legislature has been asked on
numerous occasions to pass law that
would insure the deposits of persons
who do business with this class OF
banks and the fact that there have
been no less than three failures OF
private banks in this state in the
last six weeks indicates that some re-
lief must be given, one local banker
stated.
The many failures in Illinois this
spring and summer have brought the
matter Of state supervision forcibly to
the attention Of bankers here. and
there is reason to believe that state
law would have the Endorsement and
backing Of a majority Of Iowa bank
ers. st
Local financiers are agreed that pri-
vate banking should be subjected to
the same examination as other bank
ing interests and that they should be
forced to do a regular banking bust
ness and keep out OF other lines Of
endeavor.

legislation to meet the changed In.
dustrial conditions Of our new times
The marvellous strides which inven
tive genius has made has worked a
wonderful Transformation in the way
OF introducing labor-saving methods,
but In many instances the degree OF
hazard has not been reduced. It is
the province of this class Of legisla'
ton to bring employer and employe
together upon q mutual basis Of un.
derstanding to the end that when q
workman is injured In the due pro
cess OF his labors, the laborer and
those dependent upon him shall have
reasonable amount Of financial pro-

This law IL not an instrument to
enable one class to put it over" an.
other class. 1t Is In no sense class
Legislation. Employees are finding up
on investigation that It is a class OF
insurance which Is going to cost them
far less than they anticipated.
This law is not radical innovation.
Rather should 1t be viewed as an en-.
lightened recognition OF that newer
and better relationship which exists
between capital and labor.
