The western railroads are asking Tor
increased freight and passenger rates.
They are spending lot Of money TO
get their requests before the people.
They are using much space IN news
papers, wasting hundreds Of dollars IN

information broadcast and devotinS
every available resource to the cam
paign. .
Tney claim the increase In rates Is
more essential to .he early arrival OF
commercial and agricultural prosper
ity than any other factor possibly
could be. Indeed, II one were to take

So, It will be neen, the railroads
whose regulations are the cleanest,
whose management is known to have
been the best, are not In terrible r.
nancial straits. They are not begging
for mercy and money on the ground
that unless they receive both they will
be forced to and thru the wall.
This bit of data concerning the
stable railroads Is rather engrossing.
1t hints that something must be amiss
among those lines which claim to be
suffering such great losses, losses
which absolutely prohibit them from
planning extensive improvements until
some sort OF assistance Is given them.

FIRST NAVAL ORDER TRANS
MITTED BY WIRELESS TELE-
PHONY

The first naval order ever sent by
wireless telephony was transmitted by
Secretary Daniels on November 5, to
Rear Admiral Usher, at the New York
Navy Yard. This is regarded by navy
officials as harbinger of the day when
secretary of the navy may sit at his
desk in Washington and talk to fleet
commanders in any part of the world
The Secretary used the ordinary desk
telephone, the sound being carried to the
Arlington radio station, where the
tranfer was automatically made by a
delicate mechanism.
The message was not only caught by
the operator for whom it was intended,
but was overheard by the wireless sta
ton at Charleston, South Carolina, and
the one at Lake Bluff, Illinois, it being
audible thousands of miles away to any
radio operator whose instruments hap
pened to be tuned to right pitch, and
who was listening.

DETERMINED MAYOR CLEANS UP
CITY

The city of Aurora, Illinois, is in the
midst of bitter municipal fight. May
or James E. Harley, newly elected, re-
Gently suspended Captain Grass, of the
police force. Chief Frank Michels call
ed upon the Mayor to protest, and was
also discharged. Instead of relinquish-
ing his office, the chief appealed to the
board Of police commissioners, who up
held him, and the board was in turn
fired.
The commissioners refused to recog-
nize the Mayors authority in the matter
claiming that he had no jurisdiction
over them. It was found, however,
that they had never furnished bond. and
a new board was appointed, who com
piled with this detail of law. Chief
Michels had also neglected this matter,
and was forced to retire from office.
1t seems that the chief has acted as
car of the police force for the past
seventeen years, and that he had allowed
dives and low joints to run unmolested.
Whenever an inexperienced officer pro-
duced discriminating evidence against
any of his favorites who supplied him
with graft money, he was roundly
abused by the police chief and told to
keep his nose out of matters.
AS a result of this upheaval in the ad
mlnistration of the city, professional
gamblers have left for other parts, the
licenses of many saloons have been re-
voked, and the "tender-loin district"
has been closed. Mayor Harley is now
looking after the police department him
self, pending the selection of a new
chief.
