The Tower of Babel
BY BILL ARMSTRONG

Stop and think If you were in po-
sition 10 literally feel the pulse of
the entire world all in the same half
hour.
Five hundred thousand steel men
become weary Of working and walk
out in columns OF squads when they
ask for a raise they know they can
not get. Doc Cook discovers the
north pole. then Peary does the
same thing and they scrap over IL.
The Titantic, on its maiden voya sc
across the Atlantic. speeds up for
the personal qualification OF one OF
its owners. hits an iceberg and car
ries hundreds TO a watery grave.
An obscure foreigner kills a duke
or two. Austria gets huffy. so does
Germany, and soon the entire world
is in flames. Germany doesn't like
the way the Lusitania's grill room
is laid out and sinks IL Hundreds
more unfortunate folks go down TO
the bottom OF the sea
There is always something hap
pening in Mexico more or less ex-
citing
A president is assassinated. A
world series is played. Germany de-
cides IL can win a trade war better
than a war of the sword. so it gives
up. Millions of men lay down their
arms.
America goes dry.

And so it goes on from day TO
day. Tragedy, comedy. contest, mys-
tery-they all unfold themselves
rapidly in front of this one man. He
has his strong white hairy hand on
the pulse of the world. not only lit
orally but actually. This fellow we
have IN mind is the news telegraph
opera tor. You will find one OF him
at least in every newspaper in the
land which has a wire service.
These fellows get the news first.
They know what's happening all
over the world before the balance of
their associates. Fifty astounding
things may occur in a half hour. Do
they get excited when a mountain
eer gets sore and kills everybody in
a crowded court room? If an angry
mob burns few negroes and the
blaze spreads TO a million dollar
court house. and IT makes such a
nice blaze that the crowd gets am
bilious TO do bigger things and be-
gins TO play with the mayor and a
rope. do they rumple up their hair
and run frantically around the
room in circles?
I'll say they do not!

Joe Madden has been az the bust
ness for so years or so and has had
his hand on the pulse OF the uni
verse for a long time.
one day the Eastland excursion
tub turned over in the Chicago river
and a thousand or two people lost
their lives. Joe was receiving the
story over the Associated Press wire.
He was getting the news frst-the
news Of the biggest story in months.
Between sentences, as the stirring
Eastland bulletins came pouring in
over the wire we heard Joe re-
mark:
