EDITORIAL NOTES

It would seem as though the limit on the development of the telegraph must have been reached long ago but it evidently had not for there has just been announced the bringing out by the Western Union Telegraph Company. of new multiplex tele- graph printing machine, which makes it possible to transmit simultaneously four messages over the one wire. In dem monStrating it messages were sent between New York and Seattle, Washington. This is said te be the first across-the-ccntinent circuit for such a purpose ever successfully oper- ated.

of new inventions but the old ones are being constantly improved and developed. rrr
 After a conference in Boston tex tile manufacturers are said to have forecast a drop of twenty-two and a half per cent in wages This will affect about three hundred thousand operatives The conference was fore ed by the present stagnation of the industry due to the refusal of the public to buy for the last few months. Il is hoped that a reduction in wages and a consequent reduction in prices will start the wheels of industry go- ing again. While this would look on the face of it to be a pretty large drop in wages it is said that it would still leave them double what they were in 1915.
 A novel scheme for relieving the coal shortage in New York has been proposed by Reginald Bolton, a con- sulting engineer of that city. He would lay couple of fourteen inch pipes from Scranton to New York and send through them a stream of water and coal in about equal parts. He points out that there is a drop of about two thousand feet between Scranton and New York a distance | of a hundred and thirty miles. He estimates that in a year seven mill i lion tons of coal could be brought to New York by this method and of | course weather would not interfere | with it. While it may seem like a l radical departure it is not more so | than was the laying of pipe lines to | carry oil years ago, and could hardly | fail worse than present methods do | at critical times. |
 It does beat all how fnconsiderate

 must pay for the service, like ordi-
 nary mortals. The worst of it is departments in Washington agree

A CAUSE FOR ALARM

O ONE WHO has the inter 4 VI sests of the country at heart can view with anything but concern the conditions indicated by the re- port of the Federal Commissioner of Education. P. P. Claxton. That be- tween three and four hundred thou sand children were denied schooling last year because of lack of teachers is a grave indictment against the na- ton. and this together with the in adequate and inferior facilities of the schools, pust in a large measure, if not entirely offset any efforts at Amer icanization.
 Nor is there any reason to hope that conditions will be at all improv- ed in the coming year, for the com missioner estimates that there will | be a demand for one hundred and l fifty thousand new teachers. ana at the outside not more than thirty thou sand prepared teachers to fill the va | cancies.
 | Of even more seriousness is the in crease in teachers who are "sub-stan- dard.' Out of some three hundred and fifty thousand in the country, ac- cording to the Comm ssioner, more than one-half of them "are not pre- pared according to any reasonable standard" In addition to the other phases of the problem it is asserted, i that one-fifth of the eighty-four thou sand high school teachers in the coun- try are intending to seek other em- ployment and that there are not mere than nine thousand e1igihles to take their places.
 It is far from being pleasant" sci
 of facts which the Commissioner pre-
 sents and it is one which calls fol
 the immediate attention of people which can be corrected in one veal or two. In fact, it will probably be several before conditions will be any
 where near as they should. for nc matter how soon sthe start is made
 or how vigorously pressed. time is re
 qujred for the proper framing or ;

 It would be hard to over "em phasiz e the importance of correcting these un
 fortunate conditions for just in gro

 ' The remedy of these conditions Il time when teaching attracted mat

Of late years how ever, positions in business have oe 5 come so plenty the conditions so cor " genial and the salaries so generous ( y compared with those paid teacher that a rapidly diminishing numbt e of the higher class of young persor

WAR INCREASED
TRUCKS ON FARM

Three general causes have con-
tributed to the exploitation of the
motor truck industry in rural
territory-an industry which has
an important effect on farm mar
keting costs.
These causes are: CD The
growth of our larger cities and
the consequent development OF
nearby producing areas to pro-
vide for part of the food need OF
these cities (2) the failure of the
railroads to keep pace with. the
expansion of their shorthauling
business; 60 the development OF
the motor truck manufacturing in
!terests and the consequent extern
sion of their sales campaigns.
The crisis in the transportation
field, brought about by the ma
tional war emergency, afforded
stimulus Of the development OF
rural motor transportation more
powerful than any other general
influence. Doubtless the motor
truck, in any event, would have
established itself as a factor in
the rural field, but ordinarily this
would have been slow process,
involving the many preliminary
steps.

FOR THE sake
| or Old KENTUCKY
Keep Up the Excellent Road
Work Now Under Way,
Says Hale Dean

j., TT. Dean, of the Richmond Mo-
tor Company, has returned from an
extensive trip overland through Ohio,
and has nothing but praise for the
country roads in general. He is an
advocate of road improvement work,
and says that Kentucky should con-
tnue with the good work already I'M
der way, and not stop until the high
ways are put in good condition. 1t is
nothing out. Of the ordinary, he says,
to have tourists speak of Kentucky's
roads, especially those making trips
south, since many of them are avoid
ing passing through this state, owing
to the condition Of the roads. Many
Of the little towns along the Dixie
Highway are paved several miles out,
and almost reach the paving started
their way by the residents of the
J ncighboring town. The highway
through Kentucky in some places is
in deplorable condition. 81 don't like
to say it, but the worst road in Ohio
is better than the best one in Ken
lucky" said Mr.. Dean in speaking Of
the condition of the roads.
Kentucky is appreciated in many
ways, but the tourist always remem-
bcrs the state, after having passeC
through it, he declared, by the de-
Dlorable condition of the roads. Mr.
Dean is of the opinion that much
hard work and big expense lies il
the path Of putting the roads in the
proper and attractive condition. How
ever, he believes that it will be done
and continuation Of the excellen
work accomplished during the pas
few years will make wonderful
change.
