Taking a Look Forward

Scientists are drawing their breath
hard and figuring and guessing as they
never did before, in all their lives.
Wireless communication has been had
over a distance of 1000 miles Our
earth atmosphere hasn't anything to do
with it and our wireless sharps tell us
that all resistance to the space waves
around the earth will be overcome. Four
thousand miles straight up there is no
atmosphere, yet the light from some
suns travelling at 186.330 miles per sec
ond and requiring so years to reach US,
gets to US. The guess is that the base
of all wireless transmissions is free cleo
irons, and when some Marconi finds So
called electromagnetic waves strong
enough TO Offset the earths influence,
communication with Mars, Jupiter
Uranus and those other old fellows up
there will be only a question of their
having receivers and answering our 'Hel-

Der that, less than a hundred years ago,
there were no railroads, steamboats, tele-
graphs, telephones, flying machines,
talking machines and "horseless car
riages?"

4 great deal has been said and
written about he treatment Of dis
ease 10y suggestion. But there is
one phase OF this important subject
which has not received the attention
i. deserves. This is the fact that
suggestion is OF grea, helptulness in
the case even Of diseases Of such a
character that surgical operation

have a patient who must undergo

California Furnishes
Reckless Auto Drivers

Detroit is not the only city where the
public has become aroused over the
slaughter of people in the streets by
reckless automobile drivers In Califor-
MIA, for instance. the press of the state
is waging vigorous campaign against
the speed fiend and the reckless driver
which is proving most fruitful of results.
As an example, witness the case of
Mrs. Wolfskill, of Los Angeles. who
pleaded guilty to the charge of driving
an automobile while intoxicated. Mrs.
Wolfskill is member of one of the old
est and most aristocratic families in Cal
ifornia, social leader. and a woman Of
great wealth. A year or so ago, she
would have been discharged with rep
rimand or at most nominal fine But
not now. The trial judge fined Mrs.
Wolfskll $50 and, to use his own
words. as additional humiliation SEN
fenced her to one day in jail and depriv-
ed her Of the use of her car for six
months. with a suspended Jail sentence
of $50 days if she violates the court S
orders by using it, sentence which will
be long remembered by her and others.

Let Every Woman Join
This Crusade Against War

American women are rousing them
selves to the cry of their grief-stricken
sisters of Europe and are realizing that
there is way by which they may, in a
measure, make their desires known, and
bring certain moral pressure to bear
upon the government.
Two dauntless young women are in
this city sounding the bugle call to arms,
as it were, in a crusade more holy than
ever set out for Palestine, crusade
against war.
They are sowing, broadcast, call, and
asking for a pledge at the end of it. Here
is what they say:
appeal of Europe's Mothers to the
Mothers of America" Do you know that
YOU can help to stop this war;?
do you know thai a conference of
neutral nations has been endorsed by the
belligerents? That the belligerents have
said: This is the only sane way to end
war;
do you know that the neutral nations
of Europe want this conference and are
ready for it?'
DO you know that America is the only
The Detroit times., 1915-11-15

neutral nation, to date, that has not sig
nified her Willingness 10 cooperate IL
this plan to end the WARP"
do you know that the neutrals of Eu'
rope are waiting for America TO openly
declare her stand" etc, etc.
For the purpose of showing their earn
est convictions on this subject it is plan
ned that the women of Detroit shall
march, in a body. through the streets,
and they are told, by the peace enthusi-
asts, that il is in the women's power to
lead this nation in an uprising that will
be historic, 1.-The most wonderful event of
the age. A protest against wal"
Whether much can be accomplished in
this way or not, we ito Het know, but II Is
a matter deserving Of notice that women
have. at last, arrived AT. the point of Wis
ably and actively opposing the slaughter
ing of their sons by unScrupulous gov
ernments; that they no longer sit in the
eerner- and give up. without a
word, their cherished children with the
meek doclhty OF COW. mat, whether
they have power to stop this barbarous
institution or not, THEY WILL TRY.
This is a great step in advance for
women and, therefore, for civilization.
Since men viii not do away with war, let
woman try, though she fail again and
again.
If the Detroit women lay aside their
natural reserve and timidity and do this
thing, they MAY be a small band which
will go down in history as the first group
to array itself against a monster more
destructive than all the devastating ca
tastrophes of nature. The latter, we can
not control; the former, we must an
initiate.

A Metropolis Plagued
By Political Malpractice

Comes an upstate Republican diagnos-
y tician, Congressman Cramton, to consider
:! Detroit's political symptoms, and to con
firm the report on the case already sub
\ mitted by upstate Democratic diagnos-
ticians.
Any out-of-town practitioner is able Ia
tell just what ails Detroit politically, at a
glance. There is nothing obscure or baf-
fling in the manifestations of serious dis
order.
Neither is there any variableness nor
shadow of disagreement in the treatment
prescribed.
The amazing thing is the inability of
local Psychologists to help the patient
Why should Detroit continue in a moral
decline when it is surrounded by experts.
The Times has given the answer many
times, being absolutely unfettered when
it comes to exposing charlantry and hum
bug on the part of alleged healers.
The answer is quackery This town is
cursed with great cloud of political
charlatans; with confederacy of fee
splitters.
Of course, it is easy to dismiss the I'M
afraid upstate diagnosticians as back
number country doctors.
But it is often noticed in the country
physician that he has appreciation OF
moral as well as of physical values.
