mo more bald-faced attempt was
ever made by any Penrose of Platt
to boss a state than this attempt by
the would-be reformers and political
demagogues. Pretending to fight
for the people they have built up a
machine the equal of which has never
before been known in the state" said
Senator George B. Skogmo in COM
menting on the action of the Blaine
LaFollette crowd in calling secret
conference at which a state ticket
was picked for the people of Wiscon-
sin. Senator Skogmo said further
that zone of the greatest political
machines ever put together is at
work endeavoring to put across it's
own candidates without any Voice
of the people. They have shown
their hands in ignoring their oft
repeated denunciations Of ma

After that he attempted ito draw a
concert and lecture and few
other things out of the air, but the
air was filled with storms and clouds
and other heavily static devilments,
in consequence of which the big ra-
dio show scheduled as part of the
celebration for President Harding's
first official birthday party did not
materialize.
The. outstanding fact about the
radio demonstrations that are taking
place everywhere is that there is no
privacy to the process. A hundred
thousand people can listen in on a
musical program or concert, or
speech, that is being broadcasted by
radio, but if single outsider drops
in on the air with a little broadcast
ing of his own, it spoils the show
Radio broadcasting is conversation
over. great wireless 'party line"
system, comparable in privacy with
the life of gold fish in his bowl,
sporting in the sunlight by day and
lit up by electric lights by night.
1t will be recalled that the Bell
System transmitted speech by wire
less telephone from Arlington, Vir-
ginia, to Paris and Honolulu, in 1915.
This remains the long-distance re-
cord for wireless communication.
Many forms of radio equipment for
American forces for communicating
with ships and with airplanes were
arranged during the war. New pos
sibilities for it's use are very numer-
Gus. The linking of ships radio to
land line phones seems to offer the
outstanding possibility for the new
science. at this time. A few even
ings ago the American Telephone
Company gave demonstration of
radio i nthis connection, when
steamship $50 miles out at sea was
placed in communication with tele-
phone subscribers on shore, who car
ried ma conversation with members
of the company on shipboard. The
Bell people say they have talked with
a ship 1900 miles out at sea. The
possibilities for practical development
of radio telephoning are great, but
it is pointed out that the supposedly
most recent trick of electricity is,
after all, an application of the same
principle as that found in ordinary
over wire-the wire serv
wing to direct and control the sound
and deliver it at "a certain point. So,
while there is lot of joy in being
a "radio bug" it is just as we'll to
be a little conservative about expect
ing any revolutionary changes in the
arts of communication through the
entry into the game of Mister Radio.

MR.. GoMPERs. is DIsPLEAsED

Afriend of Samuel Gompers once
said of him: He-throws more mon
key-wrenches jinto good machinery
than any other man living Some
one else might have said very truly
that Mr.. Gompers always has the
courage of his convictions. In any
event his friends and enemies will
agree that he is habitually displeased
with the way the world is being run.
Quite frequently he spoke in condem-
nation of government legislative bod
les for failing to start the wheels of
industry on obstructive projects"
and he denounced the Administration
for it's "amazing kind of muddling
with tax and tariff questions" In
almost the same breath he scored
the recent farm conference held at
the suggestion 6f the President as
controlled absolutely" by group
of Approximately sixty railroad
presidents, trust magnates, bankers
and anti-trade union employers To
which he adds the opinion that the
Kansas industrial court is "vicious
PRINCIPAL of slave Labor" Aside from
a few similar complaints about the
''hardships" imposed on the Ameri-
can people by taking their wine and
beer away from them, Mr.. Gompers
has offered no further criticisms
about the contained use of water for
laundry and bathing purposes. But

ways boast; and in this respect the
old labor leader is no exception be-

suffrage crowd" picketed the White
House, they were jeered at, hooted,
thrown INFO police patrol wagons,
carted off to prison and treated with
such gross indignites that they re-
taliated by starting another crusade
for Jail reform. Miss Paul still has
her "crazy suffrage crowd" but their
social standing has improved since
the jail-bird days. Rich women have
filled their Golfers with gold, and
they purchased and are OCCUPYING their
somewhat palatial headquarters OPP
posite the Capitol building at Wash
ington. Nor has the half been told.
On May 81, next, these headquarters
will be the scene of an historical
event when the formal Inauguration
of the Woman's Party as perman-
ena organization" will take place.
The police will likely be present in
as great numbers as when they used
to take the "crazy suffrage crowd"
off to Jail, but their duty in May will
be entirely different from what it
was four years ago, and it will be
to preserve order and handle the
crowds, because the President of the
United States, Mrs. Harding, the
wives of members of the Cabinet, and
of the Senate and House will be
there. These distinguished guests
will be present to help celebrate the
victories of suffrage and to honor the
women who picketed, and were will
ing to be sent to Jail for their con-
victions. For are they not the hero
ines of THE suffrage movement?
THE UNHAPPY MIR. FALL
Senator Fall of New Mexico, was
great and boom friend of Senator
Harding of Ohio, when the two men
were members of Americans great
est deliberst tive body a little more
than year ago. When Senator
Harding went out of the Senate he
took Senator Fall with him and put
him in charge of a Department of
the Administration. In that Depart
men, and as Secretary of the Interior,
Mr.. Fall has been one of the most
inconspicuous of the Presidents Off
cial family. Senator Fall use to
break into print very frequently, but
Secretary Fall soon literally fell out
of sight-or almost so. Now Mr..
Fall is in the limelight, and instead
of being unhappy he may enjoy a
few glorious days. The prospects
that he will be thus happy is due to
the fact that he is having row. And
how the old cattle-puncher does love a
row! 1t is mostly about Alaska and
the claim of the Interior Department
to the supervision of he Forestry
Bureau. The old Clifford Pinchot
crowd are after Fall, and he is fight
ing back. Mr.. Fall says that the
development of Alaska and the prac-
tical administration of the Forestry
has been retarted by the old-time
professional of the Forestry has
professional conservationists," and
he has issued statments showing
what he would like to do to help in
the development of our natural re-
sources. A good many people are
inclined to agree with Secretary Fall
in the points he has made. The Sec
rotary of Agriculture, Mr.. Wallace,
does not take kindly to the sugges-
ton of relinquishing control Of the
Forestry Bureau to another Cabinet
official; and in consequence a row in
the Cabinet seems to be Matching. In

OUR Friend E. Bergman has
made a suggestion that might be
worthy of consideration. He has
asked this question. eff the North
ern Pacific is going to be permitted
to abandon their line of railway run
ming into this city who is going to
take care of the cost of regarding the
street on which their right of way
runs 2" Now this is a question
that many of us had not thought of.
When the line of railway was built
into this city Omaha street was
abandoned and given over to the rail
way company as their right-of-way.
Property owners did not complain at
the time because they wanted to as
sist in what way they could to bring
this railway in, but with the line
abandoned and the street useless,
something will have to be done to
make it useful to property owners
again. Why not compel the rail
road owners to fix up the mess which
they have created?

something, and he is bringing out a
lot of information that may be help
full to the country and further the
movements for developing our natural
resources. Anyhow, Mr.. Fall, seems
in fair way to get the happy habit
again, unless he gets so mad in the
meanwhile that he decides to resign.
