OF the strike. Wyoming miners who
walked out two days ago in protest
against the IA per cent wage increase
were under orders of their state Off
cers TO return TO work. The strike
was not sanctioned.
As mine leaders talked OF possible
extension of the strike to the anthra
cite fields. there were reports from In
dianapolis that the government had
concluded to institute contempt pro-
eeedings, being convinced that the in
junction issued against the strike had
been violated.

ALL VOTE 9YES.9
Everyone of the 20 Massachusetts Cit
les Holding Elections.

Boston. Dec 3.-A marked feature of
the municipal elections in 20 Massachu-
setts cities yesterday was the fact
that everyone of them cast majority
OF votes in favor OF granting liquor H.
censes. II was well know to the vot
ers that in view of the coming of ma
tional prohibition the baloting was
mere formality State legal author
tiles, however, had ruled that as the
state local option law had not been re.
pealed, the question must appear on
the ballots.
The vote on the license question was
very small Politicians were uncertain
whether the yes" maiorities const-
tuted genuine expression Of public
opinion or whether many citizens had
voted for license as a joke, knowing
that the votes would be without effect.

Value of Tradition

F Lyman Windolph, in The Review.
 Only children demand proof in their own persons that fire is hot and that theN moon cannot be touched with the hand. r is because men have been willing to take something for granted that they have been free to move onward to some thing else. "The record of things past said Louis xI, lis the most profitable, as well to console, advise and comfort us against diversity as to avoid the incon- veniences before which others have fal- len, and to encourage us to do well like the best" Unless, therefore, the pres ent generation is blessed with higher natural endowment than those which have gone before it can i'll afford 10 make light of the accumulated experience of antiquity. Still less can it afford to ignore that experience altogether. There is, heaven knows, enough personal pain and cost in the age-old insistence of youth to taste for itself the fruit of the forbid den tree to discourage deliberate repeti- tion of the experiment on larger scale.
 There is abundant evidence that the men of today are not the equals of the men of the age of Periches. Indeed, there is little evidence that the best men of any enlightened age, but it by no means follows that there has been no progress since the age of Pericles. The law, said a great jurist, -'is wiser than any of us," and at least this ought to be the case Improvement in the quality of the race itself may be at best a debatable matter, but there can be no question about the steadily growing richness of it's inheritance.

Submarine Explores Ocean Bed

The queerest submarine boat of all has just made it's appearance ill the waters of Long Island sound. Its purpose is peaceful but none the less extraordinary, for it is to be used to explore the bottom of the sea, and to salvage what it may of the 22,000,000 tons of material that went down in the war. Its most remarkable feature is that its occupants may open a door in its bottom and walk. almost dry sho6, on the ocean floor. The new boat, as described and illustrated in the Pop ular Mechanics Magazine, is only sub in part, however, for the greater portion of it. looking like a big twin hull dredge ship. stays afloat and provides for the safety and comfort of those 'incased in the diving shell on the ocean bed.
 The peculiar mechanism of the vessel comprises long steel tube extending for. ward from between the bows at the end of which is a steel chamber. When the exploring crew has entered the chamber hy way of the tube, the latter is simply turned downward until the chamber rests upon the bottom. Air under pressure is constantly pumped in to exclude the water. On the bed of the sea. the bottom ioor may be opened, giving direct access to the ocean floor and whatever may rest upon 1t.

 The Birmingham Railway, Light and Power compony case has been on the commission docket several weeks. For various reasons it has been continued from time to time. The receiver for the company alleges that because of the use of motor trucks, less than carload freight over the eastern division results in loss to the company. He is asking for perniis sion to abandon such service.
 The case of the Telephone company has attracted statewide attention. Mayors and officials of the most important towns and cities in Alabama have been told of the hearing so that they might appear and have something to say when the case is heard.
