Safer In Democratic Hands,

The Monroe doctrine is safe 50 long
as we have Democratic admini'stra-
ton. That has been tested. It, had
almost lapsed into innocuous de sue.

until it was vigorously reassel ted
by the first Democratic presid, snt
elected and seated since the Civil v ar
Grover Cleveland. 1t remained to
Woodrow Wilson : to- emphasize IL 'e
doctrine In its largest and most po'-
tent reaches IN his third annual adj
dress to congress. Doubtless it would
be safe under Republican administra-
ton, but in view"of the fact that it
has found its chief support and en-
sphasis under Democratic presidents.
the country feels that the doctrine is
safer when foreign complications
arise if d Democrat is in the White
House.

sCIENCE.s LATEsT TRIUMpH.

IrNHE most recent triumph OF science is the estab-
lishment Of direct telephone communication be-

miles One of the anomalies Of that service is that
when at the New York end Of the line speaks
TO at the San Francisco end OF It. the San Fran
cisco hears him three hours before-accordng to
New York time-he has opened his mouth, that being
due to tho difference in standard time.
We find in technical journal interesting dis
cusson the physical other features of this
continental telephone service.
There arc two circuits each using $3.50 miles Of hard
drawn copper wire
There $40 pounds Of copper wire in each circuit
mile. and 1860 tons in the entire line
BY transposing the two physical circuits there is
created additional circuit known phantom
circuit"
If voice we're loud enough to be heard from New
York to San Francisco, il would take four hours TO
travel that distance through the air.
The voice by telephone travels from New York to
San Francisco in 1-15th of second, travelling at the
rate of $4,000 miles per second.
The first sound transmitted by telephone juno

One hundred and thirty thousand poles are required
