Miss Alice Robertson, congress
woman-elect from Oklahoma, suggests
a problem which congress has hereto
fore sidesteppcd but which woman
has the courage to tackle, when she
declares it is necessary that fair cleo
ton laws governing the choosing of
members of congress must be had. She
says: "The election laws must be
fixed up. Thousands of republicans
were denied registration this year. I
have affidavits from many and would
have contested the election had my
opponent won."

So Caminetti has gone abroad, at the
expense of the government, to study
immigration, and in Washington the
procedure is denounced as a waste of
public money and a junket for lame
duck. His conduct as commissioner
general of immigration could scarcely
have been worse. He has permitted
hordes of paupcr dagoes to enter this
country and is responsible for the re-
lease of scores of bolshevists sentenced
to deportation. But Caminetti's term
of office will in all probability end
with the going out Of the present adj
ministration.

Congressional threat to nationa1ize
the coal mines unless prices are
brought within the reach of the people
is said to have had some effect at the
source although the ultimate con-
sumner has not yet experienced any re-
lief. And it is time for drastic action
of some kind. If we have govern
ment worthy of the name it should be
able to lay its hands on the sore spots
and prescribe the remedy. Coal is a
basic industry, prime necessity and
no man, or set Of men, should be per-
mitted to juggle< the price or curtaij
the output to inc point Of scarcity. All
connected with its production, hand
ling and transportation should be af-
forded living wage and fair profit
but no more. The current prices of
coal are simply a species of damnab1e
extortion for which a remedy must
and. will be found, and it has evidently
reached a point where nothing short
of government control can curb the
evil. Government ownership, in the
light Of past and recent experiences
would be merely jumping from the
frying pan into the. fire, but govern
ment supervision and price regulation
from mine to consumer should bring
the desired relief if vigorously and in
diligently administered Coal is ma
lures gift, on reasonable price of
which the comfort Of millions depends,
and pro1teering anywhere should be
made a penal offense. Preston Times.

Minnesota political bosses are now
fixing up their states for the plums to
be handed out. Two states, at least,
are in process of making-one at the
office of E. E. Smith in Minneapolis
and the other at the St. Francis hotel,
st. Paul, where Caswell holds forth.
Sinecure hunters are already in evil
dence, buzzing both Smith and Cas-
well. If they receive no encourage
ment from one they go to the other,
and vice versa. In the distribution of
political plums it is not always the
early bird that catches the worm.

One of the most remarkable inven-
tions of the day is that recently per-
fected by which photographs can be
transmitted by telegraph. This has
been successfully accomplished by the
transmission of four photographs be-
tween the New York World and the
St. Louis Post-Dispatch. In the meth
cd successfully tested the photographs
to be sent by wire were placed on a
cylinder over which passed a needle
attached to sending instrument The
vibrations Of the needle, transmitted
by electricity, were reproduced in the
receiving instrument, which vibrated
a tiny mirror. The ray Of light, re-
fected from the mirror, played through
a glass screen, graduated from opacity
to transparency, allowing the light to
pass in varying degrees of intensity
upon a sensitized plate. The transmits
sion time for each picture was eight
minutes. This invention will prove in
valuable to police authorities III the
case of escaped criminals, as the pho
tographs can be sent to distant points
in very short period Of time. News
papers, too, will be greatly benefited
thereby. 1t would now be along the
line Of things inventive for some
genius to discover way of taking
photographs in natural colors. We
feel confident that this will sooner or
later be accomplished, but we have
our doubts as to whether Thomas A.
Edison will ever perfect the device
upon which he is working to converse
with departed souls. He, however, is
confident that success will crown his
efforts.

The Belgian government has pre-

bill for cigars amounting to 10000
francs tabout $4,000, said cigars
having been smoked or carried away
at the conference held at Spa last
July by the supreme council of the
league. If the cigar bill alone is
$4,000 at meeting Of the league

MORE TRIBUTES TO PILGRIMS

The opening ceremonies at South

the tercentenary of the Pilgrim Fa-

But it is possibly to the ceremon-
les in Leyden, in the great hall of
the university that the greater senti-
mantal interest will attach. For Hol-
lands celebration of the Pilgrims to
whom it gave asylum is in effect a
commemoration of that country's own
high ideals of human freedom. The
speakers at Leyden laid proper stress
upon Hollands maintenance of its
sovereign rights in refusing to extra
dite the Pilgrims, and the Acting
Dutch Minister at Provincetown
voiced that same sentiment in en-
phasizing the pride of his country in
