time it had in it the ring of triumph.
For a triumph it is, a triumph of
science; none greater has the past
generation witnessed.
Within a short time, when the
final tests and adjustments have
been made, the gateways of this
mighty wire span will be thrown
open to the public. This achieve
ment has involved the work of a
corps of $50 engineers and scientists;
Improvements, great and small in
every piece of telephone plant and
apparatus; vast expenditure of
money; all contributing to convey
the tiny voice impulses one seventh
of the distance round the globe.
But it is a triumph in greater
sense. Back of and beneath 1t all is
the spirit Of SERVICE, the observance
of public need and the untiring, IN
seceroing energy eOhich has its focus on
the achieoement of the required end
despite all seeming impossibilities.
That's the spirit of the Bell system
organization, which justi6es the gen
erous measure of confidence and
reliance that has been placed upon
it by the American people.

JUSTICE ELKIN And HIS CAREER

UUUllUL LLHAN hND AllU UnnLLN
Justice Elkin's death, coming
without public prtmonition cf the
event, is shock to the people of
Pennsylvania No man was better
or more favorably known, and in the
ordinary course of events he should
have had more than a score of years
of usefulness left to the Common
wealth he has serve so we'll His
service on the Supreme Bench has
been of great honor to himself and
profit to the Commonwealth. His
decisions were characterized by lu-
cidity and wholesome regard for
essential justice regardless of mere
technicalities. His departure leaves
vacancy which will be difficult to
fill.
To very great extent justices of
the Supreme Court are mon apart
from the community. They are
often closet-students, who have had
little contact with the stirring events
of life On the contrary, Justice
Elllin came to the Supreme Bench
without previous judicial training and
was less hampered than some of his |
colleagues by traditions of the bench.
His career is a splendid example of |
the opportunities offorded every
young man in this country, who.
with energy and native ability, |
strives for advancement.
The title Of ''Plowboy of Indiana"
bestowed upon the late Justice was q
tribute to his early struggles on a
farm. On the rugged hills of his
native county he learned self-reliance
and found his ambition yearning for
other things. By working in mills
by day and studying by night, he
equipped himself for Il law course
and the bar. and soon came into
public life as an able, honest and re-
sourseful legislator and admnistra-
tor Just how near he came to being
Governor of the Commonwealth is
known only to- few. He had won
at the primaries in 1902, but the ex-
igencies of the situation as conceived
by Senator, Quay deprived him of
what he had fairly won 1t is safe
to believe that there would have
been no Capitol scandal if Elkin had
been elected Governor 1t is safe to
say that opposing his intimate friend
at the demand of Quay was the bit
terest act of Israel Durham's life and
probably hastened his death.
Justice Elkin was not only states
man and jurist, but an eminently
lovable man. He enjoyed sports, he
was an omniverous reader and man
of fine tastes Some months ago he
appeared in the mock trial of Edwin
brood at the Academy of Music as
the judge and read an opinion which
seems destined to become y classic.

National Holiday Movement.
In the movement to make Columbus
day national holiday prominent Ital-
ians are quoting the speech made by
Charles w. Fairbanks at banquet OF
the Knights of Columbus held In In
dianapOlis, Ind, two years ago. At
this banquet Mr.. Fairbanks said in
part:
1T is a fine tribute TO our sense OF
gratitude that after more than 400
years have elapsed since the great
navigator reached San Salvador we
should pause TO recall his arduous
work and briefly survey the tremen-
dous results which have flown from
what he accomplished.
When Columbus set out on his voy-
western continent he was seeking
shorter route to the eastern shores or
the orient. While he did not succeed
In his ambitious enterprise. be never
theless accomplished far more than he
anticipated. and in the final analysis
his bold undertaking more profoundly
shaped the history Of the world than
ha hau ,aI
1T is Of course too much to believe
that even in the widest sweep OF his
imagination he could have fOrcseen
what we have witnessed No seer was
inspired with visions keen enough TO
fOretell how a great people would be
developed In the western world and
how the destinieS Of other peoples
would be influenced by the precept and
example of the millions who were to
set up and develop their institutions in
the land discovered by Columbus.
Appreciation Not Diminished.
"Of course we do not entertain the
Delief for moment that America
would not in good time have been dis
covered had the voyage OF the GenOese
navigator ended ia disaster and his
name disappeared from among men,
but this does not diminish the measure
Of our appreciation Of his high moral
courage, Of the hardships be endured
and of his final triumph over the dan
gers Of the sea and his victory over
doubt and dOubters. The great discoV-
cry stands TO his everlasting credit.
The honor is his, and undivided His
name j one among the foremost Of
the worlds benefactors. 1t is one
which in Gods providence is destined
TO survive as long as men treasure the
deeds wrought in behalf OF mankind
"On such an occasion as this we be-
come, in the very nature of things,
reminiscent Our minds sweep back
over the past. and we recall with In
terest and enthusiasm the great things
which have been done in the tedious
progress OF mankind the world about.
But our minds more particularly revert
to what We have accomplished In our
own land. We recall the past In order
that We may avoid error and appropri-
ate what ia best to eur future advance
