A Recording Telephone.

Not long ago The Bee adverted to the pos
sibility OF the ornamental telephone with the
remark that no good reason existed why the
telephone set should not develop along artistic
lines the same as had the electric lamp, nor why
the telephone should not be made to harmonic
in design with the other equipment of the room.
The telephone has proved to be such a
wonder-worker that the perfection of record
ing device will be accepted without surprise,
for the announcement now comes OF an inven-
ton, credited to Edison, by which the CONVERSE
ton that comes over the wire may be inscribed
automatically on monograph and reproduced
at will, and more than once IL desired. AS yet
the "telescribe," as It is called, requires con-
siderable personal manipulation, or, in other
words, is In its experimental stage. The prae-
ticability Of the idea, however, certainly looks
inviting-its finality would permit your tele-
phone to work continuously even in your alb
sence. and enable you on your return to pick up
all the accumulated messages. 1t is limited
that the same device may record both sides of
telephone talk so that It may be verified at any
time Just the same as IL the conversation we're
carried on in the presence Of a stenographer
taking II down. So prepare for the time when
you will have to be as careful of what you say
over the phone as OF what you put down in
black and white on paper.

Go in and possess the land which the Lord swsre
unto your fsthers-to give unto them and their seed
after them-Deuteronomy is
With this az his text, the Rev. J. s. Lyons,
ID. D., a noted Atlanta minister. recently
preached forceful sermon on the city as the
new frontier OF our American life. He said:
The great battlefield OF the new conquest OF
America viii be in the American city. For thirty
years the majority OF the people Of America have
lived the cities. The dominating influence OF the
city Is being made plain The problem OF
the country church is and pressing and surely
must not be neglected while attend to the needs Of
the city.
But the great conquering effort. It is urged
must be spent on the city. The view is com
monty accepted one In the vortex OF city life the
many streams of population converge. There
the missionary finds the men OF other lands
come to his very door for help. All that Is con-
fusing complex, conglomerate in our twentieth
century life is found here In the busy, busting,
cosmopolitan city. And to do its best work, the
church, IL would naturally seem, must get as
close to the very heart OF this frontier as pos
sible.
Why, then. may we ask are 10 many of our
churches leaving the downtown districts. which
are the hearts OF the frontiers. and repairing 10
prettier, pleasanter places out as far from the
"madding strife" OF hoi poloi as they can get7

Army and the Volunteers OF America and SINH
lar barracks, IL not In the downtown quarters?
Where did Jerry Maeauley go TO establish his
great mission for miserable men but on the
Bowery OF New York.
It seems difficult to understand why some
OF the more imposing and commodious church
edifices might not be erected nearer the heart
of this frontier. Wherever this is done--as II
is in many cities-the church is usually the
most active and influential in the community.
II seems not only running away from great
need and opportunity for churches to desert
their downtown stations for the potter Ioca-
lions. but worse STILL manifestation OF indif-
ference to the salvation OF the so-called "map
of the street. which Is mighty hard for the man
OF the street to reconcile with certain noble pro-
fessions.

Raising the Cotton Embargo.

Denmark goes about the business OF buying
cotton in the United states In q way calculated
not only to get what It is after, but to open the
way to the resumption Of the cotton trade, re-
sultipg greatly In the relief Of the situation in
this country. The Danish government has
passed an act which the iuing has signed, pro-
hibiting tho reshipment OF any cotton or cotton
goods imported into that country; all such
must BE- retained for Denmark's own use. This
should meet Engiand's objections 10 cotton

that. though the exports were intended for neu-
trial countries. they might find their way into
