Unusual in National Life.

South and would include approximate
ly the one-time Confederacy. For the
fourth country he would discover a
strange new land for which he would
be at loss to find a name. 1t would
be the territory embracing the north
western states such as Minnesota, the
Dakotas, Montana, Idaho and perhaps
Iowa and Nebraska. The fifth country
would be the Pacific coast.
Our imaginery traveller would find
a general similarity of language but
by no means an identical lanuage In
these five nations. Indeed, he might
find that a native of New England
would have no little difficulty in under
standing the every day colloquial lang
uage of a North Carolinian. All ma
lions would write an almost identica
language, but each would have a dis
tinct spoken tongue which would con
firm the traveller in his belief that he
had visited various countries.
Industrial Differences
Become Apparent.
The traveller would find that the
fundamental differences which diff
ferentiated the five nations were in
dustrial. A nation is formed by Its
interests and comes to think alonf
lines dictated by its material well
being. Its politics invariably ar
governed by such matters as manu-
facturers and soil

IN Middle West q nation Of manufsc-
tUrers and growers of corn and hogs;
IN the South a nation Of cotton plant
ers; in the Northwest, nation OF wheat
growers and on the Pacific coast,
nation of lumbermen and fruitgrowers.
In every nation he would find the
thoughts and actions of the population
conferred around their industries and
that they would think politically and
socially in strict accordance with the
politics which would advance their
home industries, even though at the ex
pense of those of the other nations

each other than Mr. Lodge would be

LaFollette or Senator Underwood to
his Democratic Colleague, Senator

An economic inquiry into the causes
Of the growth of these five separate
nations would reveal that transporta
ton has been the secret. About ten
years ago, the interests of these five
nations we're apparent but all were rec
ognized to be national in scope. This
was because the Pacific coast fruit
grower could sent his products to New
England for a low railroad freight
rate while the manufactures of New
England could cross the continent for
relatively small sum. With the ad-
vent of w"r in Europe and rising costs
of transportation, these long haufs
were made impracticable. The valNC..
of the product would not pay the
freight rate and a profit in addition.
The intimate intercourse was cur1
tailed. Each nation was thrown back
upon itself and, In natural course, be-
came more self-reliant, more isolated.
How far this tendency win develop
is recognized as one of the most i'm
portant problems before the United
States. Will the problem of Industrial
and economic secession increase In
perplexity until it threatens to be-
come as dangerous as political Sc
cession? Statesmen at Washington
and economists throughout the coun.
try are studying the problem and the
agreement is general that railroad
freight rates constitute the key. The
next several sessions Of congress are
planning to attempt solution

OUCH! LUMBAGO!
RUB PAINS FROM
SORE, LAME BACK

Back hurt you? Can't straighten up
without feeling sudden pains, sharp
aches and twinges? Now listen! That's
lumbago, sciatica, or maybe from
strain, and you'll get relief the NOM
ent you rub your back with soothing,
penetrating "St Jacobs Oil" Nothing
else takes out soreness, lameness and
stiffness so quickly. You simply rub
it on your back and out comes the
pain. 1t is harmless and doesn't burn
the skin.
Timber up! Don't suffer! Get a
small trial bottle Of old honest "St.
Jacobs Oil" from any drug store, and
after using It just once, you'll forget
that you ever had backache, lumbago
or sciatica, because your back viii

It never disappoints and has been rec

Wild Speculation and Betting

'P have speculated in stocks, etc., like many
another fool, and lost"
This thought, expressed IN countless other
ways by those who have sought to gain by bet
ting and lottery. seemingly serves as no warning
to thousands Of others who are still hoping to
win the favor OF the goddess of chance.
Few realize the futility of their procedure
until the catastrophe is upon them; and then, in
the last hour, see how vain and foolish was their
course.
Since civilizations dawn sage and philosopher
have preached the folly of trying to get some
thing for nothing and of reaping where you have
not sown. And yet the children Of men blindly
and persistently believe they may be lucky
enough to thwart eternal laws of cause and eff
feet.
The tragic pathos of their ruin is to be found
not so much in their last acts in the utter dis
regard which many persons have in the confes-
sion of failure which the losing ones leave as a
warning to Others
Men read the warning, but hardly have few
days passed before its import is dissipated, and
they continue in the old ways that ultimately
lead to despair and tragedy.
Strong and weak men succumb to the lure of
trying to make money easily and without the

The statement follows:

Of this great body OF experts are

point
ut has seemed to me for a long
time that the 12-hour day and the

This clear and convincing re-
port of the engineers must prove
exceedingly helpful in showing that
this much-to-be-desired result can
be achieved without either econom-
ic or financial disturbance to the
progress Of American industry.
The report referred to by the

that the 12-hour day was not ar

time and cooperate whole-heartedly
in order to accomplish the funda-
mental purpose upon which we all
are united, namely, to drive special
privilege out Of control OF gov
ernment and restore it to the pe0-

"To this end, we will oppose un-

senate and house, cooperating with
men Of affairs, to prepare and sub
init to this group for consideration
from time to time, practical and
constructive plans for dealing with
the following great subjects:
Agriculture, labor, railroads,
shipping, natural resources, credits,
taxation, and a special committee
to consider amendments to the con-
stitution, looking to abolfshment Of
the electoral college and the arlier
meeting Of newly elected con-
crosses.
"In order to restore and perpetu-
ate the control of the people over
their government, we propose the
institution of a nation wide CAM
paign in the various states for
direct, open primaries, for all elec-
tive offices, including the presi-
dency and for effectual federal and
state corrupt practices acts"

TELEvlSIONIS

Long Distance Sight BY Wireless
Given Preliminary Trial IN
Paris.

Paris, Dec. 1.-Teleyision, or long
distance sight, by wireless was
given a preliminary experimental
demonstration at the Sorbonne to-
day by Edouard Belin, inventor Of
the transmission Of photographs by
wire. Flashes Of light were d.
rected on q selenium element
which through another instrument
produced sound waves. These
waves were then taken up by q
wireless apparatus that reproduced
flashes of light on mirror. This
was offered rs proof that the gen
eral principle Of projecting q sta
tionary scene had been solved.
