IlI--TeIeeraph and Telephone

Our transportation facilities are the
most perfect product of this great com
mercial age and the telegraph and tel
ephone systems of this nation crown
the industrial achievements Of the
whole world. These twin messengers
OF modern civilization, born in the
sklsss staE y the most faithful and
efficient pubic servants that ever
toIled for the human race.
They are Of American nativity and
whsle wngm rom the mind Of the In
ventive genius have, under American
supervision, spun a network of wires
across the earth and under the seas.
Telegraphy, in its early youth. mas
tered the known world and the tele-
phone has already conquered the
earth's surface, and now stands at the
seashore ready to leap across the
ocean.
No industry In the history of the
world has ever made such rapid strides
in development and usefulness, and
none has ever exerted a more powerful
inzinsan1 { ON the civilization of its
day than the Telegraph and Telephone.
Their achievement demonstrates the
supremacy OF two distinct types Of
American genius-inventjon and organ
ization.
The industry was peculiarly FORUM
ate in having powerful inventive intel-
iect at its source and tremendous
minds to direct its organization and
growth. 1t is the most perfect fruit
OF the tree of American industry and
when compared with its European con-
remporaries, it thrills every patriotic
American with pride.

WITHOUT AGITAT0RS
INDUSTRY FL0URISHES
Figures Show Big Increase In Wages
and Factories In Queens.

Wherever labor agitators are few,
there industry hourishes and workers
are prosperous. This is the lesson to
be cleaned from the remarkable indus
trial growth in the Borough of Queens,
New York City, as shown by the fig
ures recently compiled by the Bureau
of Census for the year 1914.
The figures record a decided gain
not only in the number of new facto-
ries, capital invested in manufactur.
ing, and the value of manufactured
products, but also III the sum total of
salaries and wages and the number Of
salaried employees and wage earners
since the taking of the last census in
1909. From a percentage standpoint,
the Increase over the several items
was as follows:
Salaried employees, 627 per cent; sal
aries, sos per cent; wages, 35 per cent;
wage arner 3O.7per cent; capital In
vested, 30 per cent; number of factO-
ries, 26.6 per cent; value of products.
s.S per cent.
. While complete figures have not been
published as yet for all the cities and
States, still from the figures that are
now available it is evident that the
Borough of Queens for the year 1914
exceeded in the value of Its manufac-
tured products many States of the
Union, such as Vermont, Delaware,
Oregon, Florida. and Wyoming; 1t ex-
ceeded, also, in this respect every city
in New York State, with the exception
of Buffalo. In fact, there we're not

Where Do You Stand?

Someone has divided mankind into
four classes-those who consistently
do less than is expected of them:
those who do what is expected Of them
but no more: those who do things
without having to be told. and finally,
those who have the magnetic power of
inspiring others to do things.
All the failures in this world are
recruited from the first class. The
second class comprises those who
scrape along In some form of drudgery
Or hackwork. Men Of the third class
are always In great demand In the fac
tory and In the Office. but the fourth
class represents the highest rung In
the ladder Of success.
In the world OF industry the fourth
class is attained by the diligent few
who have caught the spirit of their
task and are able to impart 1t to the
men under them They are the men

After the European war Is over the
prosperity of the country wiz depend
on the willingness of labor to cooper
ate with capital in fighting destructive
competition from abroad. This Is the
consensus Of opinion among men Of
affairs who have made a close study
of conditions In the Industrial and eco
nomic world.
During the reconstruction period
that must follow the termination of
the war, these men say. labor and
capital will be shipmates. and If there
is going to be any mutiny among the
members Of the crew the result will
affect the wage earners' income. In
this connection George Roberts. vice
president OF the National City Bank Of
New York, says:
81 cannot get rid of the conviction
that there will have to be a period Of
readjustment for the general business
situation soon after the war. There
is only one way to maintain high
wages, and that is by increasing the
efficiency of industry. We have to
convince our own people of the advan
tages of large scale. economical pro
duction. and we have to satisfy our
wage-earners that they are interested
not in restricting production, but in
increasing production. They must be
brought to see not only that wages are
dependent upon production. but that

forts of life for the masses Of the peo
pie is dependent upon it-"-IndustrsaI

There were many notable partisan
lights during the session, the Democrat
ic side being ably upheld by Senators
Ackerson, of Monmouth, and Florance.
OF Middlesex. The Republicans. with
their strong majority in each House. u.s.
ually had everything their own way and
passed or killed whatever bills they de-
sired. Occasionally, however. the Dem
oerats put up such a strong opposition
that the majority were compelled to re-
treat. This was true of the highway
tax bill, which the Democrats fought
h%ercely, compelling the Republicans to
lay it over and amend it.
While the legislation of the session
will go to the credit of the Republi-
cans, they having the G~overnorship and
the legislative majority, many amend
ments that improved pending measures
were from the Democratic side and that
party must be given due credit for them.
Governor Edges control over the T,eo-
i~slature was complete. Several times

This was noticeably true of the main
Hudson County ripper" bill. The
House Republicans caucussed on this
measure and could only get Is votes
pledged for it. Governor Edge had
given the word that it was to be passed
and brought pressure to bear where it
would have the most effect and the bin
went through the House with 40 votes.
Following the legislative work on Fri
