ALEXANDER GRAHAM BELL.

| Experimenting with dead mans
ear, learning of the delicate organism
Of that part of the human anatomy
! and adapting something Of the same
theory to the transmission Of sound
through artificial ears, Alexander Ora
ham Bell, half century ago, came
across the great discovery, which has
revolutionized means of communica-
ton and which to-day is one basis Of
the many ramifcations having to do
with the carrying of the human voice
over distances unthought of when the
young man, Bell, first began his ma
nipulations. We do not realize what
a debt we owe to Alexander Graham
Bell. But if we were to be deprived
of the use of the telephone and of the
various other instruments which have
become an outgrowth Of the telephone
we would very quickly perceive what
the world owes to the inventor who
worked indefatigably in his little
workshop half century ago and
evolved the great idea. He was work
ing amid great handicaps, one OF which
was the skepticism of his compatriots.
The idea of talking over wire was
ridiculed. 1t was considered absurd
that young upstart of an inventor
should be trying to carry his voice
from one town to another or even
from one house to another house. Bell
was considered such an impossibility
among reasonable men that the first
test Of his crude telephone was at
tended by the feeling of being bored.
Yet when human voice was heard
dropping off the end Of wire, as it
were, the attendants were electrified
by the novelty and the world began
to pay attention to the young invent
or. Meanwhile young Bell went stead.

the telephone; and the modern sys-
TENS of communication are the re-
suit. OF course, the inventions have
gone beyond the widest dreams of the |
young inventor; but that is only nat
ural. What we need to bear in mind |
is that Alexander Graham Bell was
really the groundwork Of the tremen-
dous progress made in that branch Of |
science in the half century intervening /
since his first success in making his
voice carry from one room TO another.

The Barre daily times. (Barre, Vt.) 1897-1959, 1922-08-24

Two years ago Montpelier had two
state senator's, while the balance Of
Washington county had one. This pa
per, previous to the primaries, gave
warning this would be the result if
care was not exercised in voting. But
the voters of the various towns and
cities Of the county thought so well Of
both Montpelier candidates they voted
for both and each town did its share
to help nominate them. Under our
primary law, there is nothing to pre-
vent every voter of the county from
being candidate, if he can get the
signatures Ito his petition, and thus it
comes about that Barre has two can
didates for the nomination this year.
This doesn't mean that Barre wants
two senators. II does not It will be
satisfied with one, and voters are re
minded that the interests of all will
be best served if in voting on pri
mary day they vote for only one Of
the two Barre candidates.

OUR COLLEGIATE ICEMEN

American colleges prepared for the
greatest year in their history. In al.
most every state of the union the en-.
rollment figures show marked advances
and records broken.
Yale, Princeton. Wellesley, Union,
Pennsylvania, Vassar and Dartmouth
reached the pinnacle OF their prosper,
ity. II is also true of many western
colleges.
Fact is that this prosperity for col
leges is due largely to the change in
the viewpoint of our educational insti-
tutions. Many cobwebs have been
swept away.
Today the college means more than
the accepted understanding OF academ-
ic teaching. 1t means a broader vision
of life and a greater understanding of
the necessity for the thing worth while.
The college man today is to be found
everywhere. He is at the head Of a
great banking institution, he is a
chauffeur, he drives an ice wagon, he
tills the soil, he appears in literature
and ornaments the plumbing establish
ment.
Sometimes the minimizing criticize
the college because its graduates may
be found driving a milk wagon and the
like. The answer, of course, is that
if all milk wagon drivers were college
men milk would be delivered more or
derby and even our babyhood would be
helped.
The greatness of the college does
not lie in its being the gangway down
which n may walk to the professions.
Its worth is in giving to the country
men who can thoroughly perform the
duty of the hour.
The college is not the panacea for
empty skulls. The best it can do is to
equip the a who has something un-
der his hat.

CONSTITUTION WEEK

This week is being observed all over
the United States as a celebration of
the anniversary of the signing of the
Constitution. Schools, churches, Ro-
tary clubs, Kiwanis clubs and other
organizations have arranged programs
and other means Of bringing out the
significance Of the event which formed
the foundation Of this. the greatest
republic in the world.
This great chart Of government was
the first which drew a clear line be
tween the rights Of the government
and the rights Of those governed. How
ever much we may regret its neces-
sity for it, the time is here when all
good citizens must awaken to the fact
that constitutional government in Am.
erica is being assaulted and threat
ened from within, as before in
our history.
The fundamental rights and pur.
poses Of the Constitution are being
forgotten or being taken for granted
and being used as a mean for de
stroying it. An appalling lack Of fore
thought in not controlling foreign i'm
migration has filled the country Wit
a class who do not assim.late. The
problem of Americanization grow,
greater as the anti-goyernment propa
ganda increases. All immigration
should be stopped until every residen
of the United States becomes a l0'
per cent, loyal American citizen.

TO CUT COAL PRICES

Chicago Tribune: While congress
is debating regulation Of the coal in
dustry. while the country is adjusting
itself to balancing of the hundreds OF
millions of dollars cost Of the recent
strike. and while cOstumerS are still
vainly protesting the advance in prices,
little attention is being paid to the
most obvious lesson taught by the ma
tional hold.up staged by operators and
miners. That lesson, which costs
500. OO0. 600 in Illinois alone, may be
summarized as the revelation OF our
need OF alternative heating and power
resources TO relieve the country Of its
present abject dependence upon coal.
Not until we develop such alterna-
tive resources can we speak effective
~ to the coal men. When We do de-
velop the alternative heating and pow
re we will be largely indie
pendent of such recent hold-ups as the
recent five months strike made pos
sible, and will not only conserve coal
but will put it on a competitive basis
which will insure reasonable prices.

This is only natural, because the

While a crowd of 800 or more
Startled citizens looked on, Constable
Tom Garrison, Of Hyattsville. and j.
C. Hawkins, proprietor of an elec-
trical appliances shop in Maryland
avenue. Hyattsville, fought a duel in
the fading moonlight at an early
hour this morning.
So fast annd furious did the lead
fly that Preston Wright. young
Hyattsvillain, stepped In the road of
Hawkins shotgun and received sew
eral buckshot in his arm.
With "Tawm." who is widely
known as the lion hearted movie
sheriff of Prince Georges county"
pumping bullets from his trusty
"forty-five" into the Hawkins shop,
and Hawkins blazing away with a
ble-barreled shotgun, the duel
would have delighted the heart Of
William s. Hart.
Youths Give Tips.
The whole affair started about 2:30
this morning when Shorty" Will
Jams and Preston Wright, returning
home from Washington, heard q
noise in Hawkins shop: Recalling
the fact that Hyattsville recently
has been the mecca for burglars, the
youths woke up Garrison.
The constable, arming the young
men, told them to cover the back
Of the shop while he went around
to the front entrance. "Tawm" then
told the telephone operator at the
Hyattsville exchange to sound the
burglar alarm on the siren.
The raucous shfiek Of the siren
woke the sleeping townsfolk and
they rushed to Main street" armed
with weapons of every description.
Hawkins. II appears, had spent
the night in the store laying" for
burglars. When he saw Garrison
at the front and the boys at the rear
of his place, he felt sure he was the
victim of a raid.
Enter the Volunteers.
Then the lead began to fly. Garri.
son took up a position behind a tele-
phone pole and plugged away at
Hawkins, whose head appeared
every once in a while at the second
story window to fire his shotgun. II
was while the hail Of lead was at
its height that Wright was shot. He
was treated by a local physician.
To cap the climax, the fire depart.
ment from Mt. Rainier clattered up
to the scene of the shooting. having
been summoned by the nervous tele-
phone operator.
When Hawkins saw "Tawm" Lom
Heflin's hat peeping from behind the
telephone pole. and "piped" the con.
stables wairus mustsches he re-
allied q mistake had been made all
around, and descended to the street.
When Hawkins appeared 1t the
door and explanations had been made
all around, fayetteville once more
tucked itself in bed.
