THE ELECTRICAL AGE.

After thirty years of experimenting
electricians with the General Electric
Company have succeeded in transmit
ting a 100000 volt electrical current
over wire.
This draws the age Of electricity one
step closer,
Electricity is the natural power. It
is drawn from the earth and the air
The day viii come when all industry
will be dependent upon electri .ity
Trains viii run from Montreal to
Vancouver on power generated per-
haps, I'm Winnipeg; ships viii sail
from Vancouver to the Orient, impell
ed by electricity generated from huge
power stations in British Columbia
and transmitted by radio waves.
Whole cities win be heated by one
central electric plant.
A few more discoveries like the one
recorded above and electricity will be
the cheapest and only common sense
source of power. Long before the
worlds supply OF coal and oil gives out
these fuels win be discarded as cost

This, of course, may be few hun
dred years from now. But the fact
serves TO emphasize the folly OF con-
serving and boarding coal and oil de-

II Is the aim of the bill to provide a
revenue of nearly three billions OF
dollars for the next fiscal year, and

REALLY DEMOCRATIC.

In some quite substantial respects
the results of Tuesdays elections were
really Democratic. Maryland. with a
solid Democratic margin in the
popular vote and Democratic Legis-
iature, is clear gain. So is Kentucky.
where a Republican Legislature has
been converted into a Democratic
body. And almost as much may be
said of New Jersey, where the Demo-
Gratis made such heavy gains in the
legislative contests as to impart high
encouragement for even better things
next year.
But the greatest triumph was in
New York City, where the oyerwhelm-
ing defeat of the Fusion ticket was
a Republican Waterloo. Made arro-
CANT by the Harding avalanche in the
city a year ago, Republican leaders
insisted that the Fusion city ticket
should be Republican ticket. And
II was so formed--two Republicans to
one Independent--and it took the place
ard name Of the Republican party on
the official ballot.
Many Democrats do not alxvavs fna

TRANQUILITY.

Though evils burden this
poor globe. and wrong makes
right an also ran, do not yell
or tear my robe, or follow any
noisy plan; I'd like to see a
change, in sooth, to see the
right i'm better luck: hut years
have taught me this great truth
lit never helps to run amuek.
The agitators who uprear on
kegs and boxes, in the mart.
and shrek that doom is draw
ing near unless we tear AL
things apart, would never help
us dodge that fate, in case its
solemn hour struck; one thing
is true, one truth is STRAIGHT
II never helps to run amuck. I
pin my faith 10 wise old bows
who make the good things come
70 pass, who don't believe in
empty noise, in booming drums
or sounding brass. They
straighten things that are amiss.
while agitators paw and buck.
and watching them has taught
me this--it never helps to run
amuck. The tranquil men who
use their domes win solve our
problems, one. by one. while
Windy Willie rants and foams
and says the nations course is
rum the tranquil men will dem
onstrate the worth of quiet
thought and pluck; and this is

for the city courts TO settle by punish
ing the dcstroyors of property aud
the endangerers of life. Another ele-
ment besides the actual violence Is
involved, however, and that is inter
ference with the conduct OF a business
at once legitimate and necessary. as
the business of these companies cor
tninly is. Hence can good reason be
found for enjoining the strikers. In
u ,terference with such business being
something which tsie higher courss

vent. on proper application, II they

THE UNKNOWN DEAD.

The unknown dead have formed a

ever were. Silently they have been
laid i'm their graves. without name
TO mark their last resting place or
reflect the honor of their deeds upon
their families or the place of their
bi.th. In numbers they would form
a mighty army. but for centuries
they have been inferred without honor.
II remained for the late war TO in
spire patriotism with the purpose TO
repair this long indignity.
England, with honors never sur
passed In dignity and impressiveness.
gave honorable burial to one of her
unknown dead. representative Of all
her sons who gave their lives in war
leaving no name behind, In the solemn
and sacred precincts of Westminster
Abbey. side by side with the distin-
guished dead OF centuries. France
gave sepdlture 10 an unknown poilu
in the receptacle that holds the
cherished remains of many of the
country's most distinguished sons.
Italy paid splendid public tribute 70
an unknown hero OF that sunny land.
Tomorrow, at Arlington, across the
Potomac river from the National
Capital. an unknown soldier of the
army Of the United States will be
buried with ceremonies that will
equal In sentiment and spirit and in
the character OF the participants those
that attended the sepulture OF our
greatest statesmen. Thus the nations
of the WORLD are paying belated tribute
and honor to the unknown heroes who
gave up life in their behalf.
1t is fortunate for our country that
we possess the beautiful Arlington
estate as the nations burial ground.
Formerly the home OF General Robert
E. Lee. commander -in-chief of the
Confederate forces during the Civil
War. and lost TO him By the outcome
OF that great conflict, II occupies a
commanding position on the banks
Of the river and possesses natural
beauties alone that would make it a
most appropriate resting place for the
dead, even without the splendid adorn-
ments that have been added to it.
Here rest the bodies Of many Of
those who. on both sides in our most
regrettable civil conflict. gave their
lives for the cause they believed to be
just, And here will rest the body of
this unknown hero, who gave his life
to the cause Of freedom Of the world
from military aut- -racy, and for the
Inauguration Of a hatred of war which
alone can be held as a fulhllment OF
the preachings and pleadings of the
worlds greatest Apostle of Peace.
All honor to the mortal remains Of
this unknown dead. They are not his
alone. They represent all our un-
known dead and bespeak for them the
same measure Of reverence and love
that has been so signally bestowed
this single representative, selected by
the result of chance from among many
OF his honored fellows as the recipient
OF a nations highest respect.

And healthy children sheltered

If there were toys upon the floor;

But on them / could find no trace
That children ever pulled them out.

For scratches left by little feet,
But there was no disorder there
And home should never be so neat.

For all the treasures he has bought,
