Talking over telephone wires at long dis
lance has been for . number OF years an every
DAY occurrence. But wireless telephony il yet
In the experimental stage. 1t has been accom-
plished by experimental wireless station at St
Johns. New Foundland. the operator talked
with man in Chelmsford, England, talking
with a third man in Denmark He heard them
say that soloist named Melchoir would sing.
He then listened to four songs in Danish. and
to the conversations that followed between the
English and Danish operators. Chelmsford is
1900 miles from st. Johns.
In commenting upon this successful wire
less telephone experiment, the Chicago Post
says: How stupid it is to pretend that we can
build up a world in America aloof from the
old world unaffected by its life and undisturbed
by its troubles, when science and commerce
and labor and every forward moving force we
know is narrowing distances and establishing
new contacts and relationships. We are in the
era of world neighborhood and that fact
henceforth must more and more control the
policies of nations

Army Discipline.

1t will be interesting to observe the prog
ress the army will make with its new idea OF
treating men. Time was when the most Wig
orous training was considered necessary to
create discipline. From the start of a re-
cruit's experience he was given touch of
authority in no uncertain terms so that he
might have the idea Of obeying fixed in his
mind as quickly as possible The new school
OF training is working on different theory.
Recruits are not greeted as they once were,
but are practically received" into the fellow
ship of the army without any harshness in
command or duty.
Conscientious men differ as to the idea.
The old timers say the old idea produced dis
cipline and made the kind of soldiers who
formed the backbone OF the great army in
the late war. While the old idea may have
appeared rough to civilians, it produced the
desired results Others, including the score
tary OF war, believe that discipline can be had
without the rough stuf' and the man who is
controlled by less autocratic measures will
come through as desired.

The Spirit of Cooperation.

That there are tremendous possibilities
that would result from. cooperation in indus
trial activities is made Clear by recent state
ment by Howard Elliott chairman of the board
of the Northern Pacific railway. Speaking Of
the new railway rates he said: If 100000
men in the service Of the railroads should, by
greater care Or improved methods. save 5
cents day each, this total sum would be
$50 900 for 300-day working year. and
this would be enough to buy 400 heavy loco
motives. or 10000 freight cars. 1t would also
be good bit toward the per cent guaranty
that is going to the people who invest their
money in railroads in the United States
hereafter"
Mr.. Elliott's statement shows how tremen-
dously the efficiency OF a railroad must depend
upon the kind and quality of service 1t can
command from its operatives. But this is only
partly what it shows. Mr. Elliott's statement
also shows some measure OF the tremendous
possibilities. that open where large numbers OF
men in any line of industrial activity earnestly
set themselves to cooperate -
What good thing it would be If employers
and employees could understand the tremendous
advantage of cooperation and act upon that
understanding.
That spirit will benefit labor, capital and
all humanity

No More of This.

The baseball season is over SO far as local
games are concerned. The people of Rock
Island. as is their custom. have stood nobly
by the team. realizing the disadvantage of the
association in starting late on the citys reentry
into the league-and the misfortunes that have
deprived the team of some of its best players
at one time or another.
But yesterdays humiliation was almost too
much. although probably to some extent I'M
avcidable under the circumstances The pa
irons OF the game will be on hand again next
year-but there is one thing that may as well
b. understood at the outset-Rock Island is too
yold In the business to put up good money to
see players trained.
II wants to see trained players.

whose movements inspired In the
