And Fairchild ''ran." Whistling and
happy, he turned out Of the Office Of
the Sampler and into the street, his
goat open, his big cap high on his
head, regardless OF the sweep Of the
gold wind and the fine snow that 1t
carried on its icy breath. The wait
ang Of months was over, and Fairchild
ut last was beginning to see his
dreams come true.

daine had acknowledged the value Of
the mine that day in COURT This
was the reason for the mysterious
soffer Of fifty thousand dollars and for
the later one Of nearly a quarter Of a

daine had information, and Rodaine
had, been willing to pay to gain pos

bonanza. But Rodaine had failed.
And Fairchild had wont
Won't But suddenly he realized that
there was blankness about 1t all.
He had won money, 1t is true. But
ali the money in the world could not
free him from the taint that had
been left upon him by coroner's
Investigation, from the hint that still
remained In the Recommendation Of
the grand jury that the murder Of
&issie Larsen be looked into further.
Nor could it remove the stigma Of the
four charges against Harry, which
soon were to come to trial, and with
Iout bit Of evidence to combat them.
Riches could do much-but they could
not aid in that particular, and some
what sobered BY the knowledge, Fair
tchild turned from the main road and
ion up through the high-piled snow
to the mouth Of the Blue Poppy mine.
A faint acrid odor struck his nos
trils as he started to descend the
shaft, the perfume of exploded
dynamite, and it sent anew into Fair
tchild's heart the excitement and In
tensity Of the strike. Evidently Harry
had shot the deep hole, and now, there
in the chamber. was examining the
result, which must, by this time, give
some idea Of the extent Of the ore and
the width of the vein. A moment more
and he had reached the bottom. to
leap from the carrier, light his car
bide lamp which hung where he had
left 1t on the timbers, and start for
ward.
The odor grew heavier. Fairchild
held his light before him and looked
Tar ahead, wondering why he could
mot see the CLEAN from Harry's lamp.

he stopped short with gasp. Twisted

Alexander Graham Bell.

Washington mourns the death of
Alexander Graham Bel because he
had made this city his home for many
years. But Mr.. Bell was in the broad
est sense an American citizen at large
and through his contributions to sci
entific developments a universal bene-
factor, so that his passing is an occa-
sion Of general bereavement.
1t is difficult to estimate the full
value of Alexander Graham Bells
chief invention, that Of the telephone.
So fully has it entered into the daily
lives of the people, so intimately is
it a part of the business Of the world
today, that it is rated as a common
place. Yet we'll within the memory
of many now living the telephone was
a startling innovation. a novelty
almost unbelievable. Within less than
half a century the phone has de-
veloped from a scientific toy to an
essential daily existence.
The story of Mr.. Bells experiments
and indefatigable labors in the per
fection of his device is highly ro-
mantle. He was inspired by faith in
the principles which he sought to
utilize in the development of an ap-
paratus that would carry the human
voice by means Of an electric con-
ductor just as Morse had worked out
few decades earlier a system of
electric signals by wire to transmit
messages. Singularly, there were
those in the seventies who derided the
possibility OF vocal transmission and
who looked, indeed. upon the tele-
phone in its early demonstration as
a fake, a trick. But skepticism soon
yielded to proof.
Not even the inventor of the tele-
phone foresaw the full possibilities of
its development. to the point of cross
ing the continent with human speech.
the first stage of the telephone and
realize the lack of this facility. Mr..
Bells work on the telephone was not
his sole scientific interest, however.
He was an enthusiast on the subject
of aviation and contributed valuably
TO the development of the airplane.
Many other important achievements
were scored by him. He was indeed
one of the foremost men in the world
of physical science during many years
of active production.
Those who knew him well. including
the great number OF his fellow Wash
ingtonians, We're proud of friendship
with this man of broad vision, unfall-
ing kindliness and inspiring enthusi-
asm. Though he had reached the age
Of seventy-five. there was no reason
to apprehend his passing, and his
death is a distinct shock. which is
softened only by the reflection that
this life now ended was one of the
most valuable in human history.

The Chicago Car Strike.

A 100 per cent walkout of traction
employees occurred in Chicago Monday
night. Tuesday morning every sur
face and elevated line was idle. Twen-
ty-five Thousand operatives had quit
work simultaneously. They undoubt-
edly expected that their action would
tie Chicago into a hard knot of con-
fusion and delay and loss and that
the people would Immediately demand
resumption of service through a grant
Of concessions by the companies. On
the contrary, with a remarkable re-
there was no knot. Thousands of
motor vehicles. small cars. big cars
and trucks, were pressed into service.
Lines of them were organized. The
people, knowing that the strike was
at hand, started early to go to work.
and though there was some confusion
in the downtown district for a few
hours, the average of business forces
In the evening the traffic moved back
with even greater facility. Yesterday,
the second day of the strike. with
more transport equipment and better
traffic rules. the people were moved
to and from business still more ef-
ficiently. True, this service costs the
people little more than usual. Maybe
they will not want to keep it up long.

End of the Longest Day.

Some senatorial composer will per-
haps write a song entitled The End
oe the Longest Day" in celebration of
the close of the most protracted
formal session of the upper house of,
Congress recorded in history. Maybe
the strains of that composition will
resound through the years to come.
Yesterday came the end of April 20.
The calendar, it is true, said August
9. but the Congressional Record said
April 20. and that settled it. For it
was on the Goth of April when the
chaplain of the Senate made his last
prayer, and the Senate, like the
House, goes on the ratio OF one prayer
day. This was not because the
chaplain was not on the job, but be-
cause the job had sidestepped him.
For on the Goth of April the leaders
on the republican side concluded that
the only way to get the tariff bill
passed before frost was to hold the
Senate in continuous Legislative"
session. AS practical matter that
is supposed to facilitate legislation be-
cause it cuts off the morning hour and
in theory eliminates all other business
but the bill in hand. In actual prac-
tice, however, it does nothing of the
sort, because miscellaneous business
is still transacted. the bill in hand is
laid out of hand from time to time
and meanwhile the debate proceeds
without limits Of time or of subject.

Anent Apple Pie.

Is the apple pie to disappear from
the breakfast. dinner and supper
table of the Bay state farmer? Per
ish the thought. One lone woman
has ventured to arise in meeting ana
advise her sisters-the rural house
wives of the commonwe wealth-to ao-
stain henceforth from making apple
pies. because. forsooth. they can use
the time and energy consumed in PIE
making for nobler ends. This most
venturesome of women declared Shc
had actually tried il and had found
the thing could be put over.
Now, i. is probably a fact that the
making and eating Of apple pie has
been a little bit overdone Some
housewives have toiled and slaVed
beyond all reason in the effort to
provide enormous quantities OF the
delactable vivand TO gluttonous man
folks. Men should be trained to
moderation. II will be better Tor
their digestion. better fer the at
mosphere of the home. because II
will enable wives to live longer ano
keep their dispositions in better order

formers should be reasonable.

The Day of the Bicycle.

The bicycle is returning. 1t may
never regain all the popularity II
once enjoyed AS means OF lei
surely quiet travelling it has no equal.
After the speed craze of the auto
mobiles formative years has SUB
sided we may expect the bicycle TO
return to claim portion OF its old
place in the human affections.
Touring on wheel was once a very
general sport. Indeed. it was the
bicycle that inaugurated the cam
paign for good roads and hard-sur-
faced roads. The public highways
of the country swarmed with wheels.
Local, state and national organiza-
tions of riders. aided by the manu-
facturers. wholesalers and retailers
of wheels, set up mighty demand
for the improvement of roads. The
present day good roads booster.
whether an individual or an organi-
zation: the automobile or the makers
of automobiles may be inclined to
look upon our good roads as their
achievement. They are only reaping
the harvest that the bicycle sowed
many years ago.
It is proper and altogether fitting
now that the wheel should return to
enjoy some of the benefits of the con-
crete highways.-Springfiel Illinois

ing the joke on both the strikers and
the car companies, for they have found
a new independence.
One effect OF this speedy adjustment
is to bring the two sides quickly into
a mood of agreements The companies
have announced their willingness tc'
negotiate and the men have indicated
disposition to accept a wage cut, pro-
vided certain other conditions are
conceded. A material factor in the
fastening Of this approach toward
agreement is the proposition Of the
mayor to spend s3O.OO0,OOo. which he
has at his disposal for transportation
purposes. in the purchase Of municipal
buses to be operated on fixed lines
by the city. This may be done any
way. whatever the agreement.
There are two lessons in this Chi
cago situation. One is that the street
railway strike is no longer certain
to tie up the public and make it
party to the controversy by hamper
ing it's movements. The other is that
the independent motor unit is men,
acing the fiXed-line transport. This
is the motor age and every large city
has enough combustion engine We
hicles available to move the people in
their daily requirements. The only
problem is to organize the facilities.
Street railway lines of all levels, sur
face, subway and elevated, are affected
by this public resource for emergen-
cies, which may become a resource for
daily service.

SHOOTING STARS.
BY PHIIAANDER JOHNSON.
The Altruist Anthem


Oh, let's be good and let's be kind
We sing the song again
Let's all be gentle and refined
Unto our fellow-men-
How often has the song been sung
In every sort of key,
In every land and every tongue.
In tones of grief or glee.
No doubt the cave man long ago
His mind would thus relax,
Before he laid a rival low
With his primeval ak.
They sang the chorus with great joy
Disclaiming guile or greed.
That day the citizens of Troy
Brought out the wooden steed.
Today men strive for terror's sake
And darkest threats rehearse,
While laboratories seek to make
Each bad explosive worse.
And men against their fellow men
In factions are combined
And yet we rise and sing again,
''Oh. let's be good and kind"'

A Probable Conference.

In ten days the House reassembles
and then both wheels Of the legisla-
tive mill on Capitol Hill will be turn
ing. How long will they continue
to turn? A joint conference Of House
and Senate will probably be necessary
to decide the question.
The campaign and election day are
in everybody's mind and calculation.
Success at the polls in November
oversnadows every other .considera-
ton. Candidates for seats in the next
Congress want to win.
Many nominations have been made
and campaigns are in progress. Some
of the most important, however, will
not be made until next month. The
two leading parties in New York will
not make their pronouncements until
near October /.
The congressional card is in state
of confusion. Some items are in
process Of treatment. Others have
yet to be taken up. All could not
possibly be disposed of in a month
and half, and Congress sitting
through October is not at present
among the suggestions.
Which items. therefore, should be
marked must? Which should be
postponed until the short session or
left as a legacy to the next Congress.
A conference with these questions
before it will have business Of SO
much Importance to transact its ses.
sion or sessions will for the time
monopolize the spotlight.

Mr.. padgett's Patriotic Stand.

In yesterdays Star appeared this
paragraph in the notice Of the death
az his residence in this city of Repre-
sentative Padgett Of Tennessee:
In the recent House fight over the
naval appropriation bill Mr.. Padgett
attracted attention by standing firm
against efforts TO reduce the per-
sonnel of the Navy below the figure
which the President and the depart
ment regarded as unwise. Although
most members of his party voted to
cut the enlisted force. Mr.. Padgett
opposed il. declaring his experience
as former head of the naval commit
tee convinced him the country could
not afford to "go as low" as the
trainers of the bill had contemplated.
This action showed fine sense of
patriotism. The gentleman from Ten
nessee would not play politics with
such d subject. He was willing to
give to d republican administration
the benefit of convictions he had
formed while serving in a high place
under democratic administration.
What he had learned as chairman of
the naval committee he put, as a
minority member of the committee, at
lican administration as Of the country.
In a word. Mr.. Padgett put the
Navy above politics. And that is
where both the Navy and the Army
belong. The national defense. the
national safety. cannot properly be
assessed from a party point of view
for party purposes. The public inter
ests demand that they be provided for
in their relation to the general well
fare.
During his twenty-five years in the
House Mr.. Padgett rendered many
good services. but none better than
this last. and by that he deserves to
he and should be remembered. 1t
stamped him as man of high quail
ity. who rose easily and naturally to
high duty.

State Operation of Mines.

The experiment which begins in
Indiana today of state operation Of
coal mines will be watched with keen
interest throughout the country.
While the experiment is not on scale
to make an appreciable difference in
the total coal output. it will be a
demonstration of the practicability of
state operation which may have an
important bearing on the future.
The, surrounding circumstances are
such that the test will be as to
whether coal can be mined at all, not
as to how cheaply it can be mined.
AS a matter of fact, any coal pro-
duced by the two mines Gov. McCray
has taken over is likely to come so
high as to make the most conscience
less profiteer look like a piker. Ac-
cording to press dispatches, 500 state
troops are TO guard the two mines,
which are rated as having capacity
10 produce $4,000 tons a month. To
produce $4,000 tons of coal a month
would require the full-time employ
ment of only about 200 miners, so
that for every man engaged actually
in the digging of coal four men would
be required to sS:lard him. That is
calculated to make the overhead
cost of production run up into pretty
stiff figures.
The Indiana governor has appealed
to miners who have been on strike
to return to these mines and operate
them under state auspices and state
protection, but it is intimated that if
the strikers fail to respond to the
call other men will be found to take
their places. AS these new men would
not likely be skilled miners, q larger
number of them would be required
TO operate the mines to their full
capacity. and costs would be still fur
ther enhanced.
on the whole, therefore, the Indiana
undertaking is more interesting as an
experiment than promising as solu-
ton of ths fuel problem. If state op-
Grafton Of the mines cannot be made
a success the sooner that fact is de-
termined the better. Failure now
would be less serious in consequences
than failure a few months hence.

BY "THE MAJOR"

ESPITE the hot summer days
and the compelled attend
ance of senators at the
lengthy sessions, due to the
consideration Of the tariff bill, nu-
merous, of the solons have appeared
to be unmindful Of the warm weather.
Senator Henry Cabot Lodge, republi-
can leader, is one of the lawmakers
who never appear flustered. He
gives one the impression Of having
Just had a nice cool bath and put on

Turing the early days OF golhng
- at the municipal links there
were few left-handed golf players

Of them play an excellent game.
Touching upon the subject OF lelt-
handed individuals. did you ever stop

THE Speedway and the drives

public. There should. however. be

enforced, to confine instruction les
sons to certain localities and hours.
Neither of the pleasure spots should
be used as a training ground for mo-
torists during the time when people
are out for an afternoon or evening
spin. It might however be an excellent
idea to set aside certain OF the city's
thoroughfares for instruction grounds
and to compel those who desire
licenses for driving cars to pass
thorough and practical tests. Wash
