Years ago elilninators were being
carried around the country in little
black boxes. These were operated in
mysterious manner. Sometimes they
worked. More often they didn't
The first real step forward was TAX
en-. by R. A. Weagant, an American en-
gineer during 1917 and 1918. At the
expense of considerable time and money
Weagant erected experimental anten-
nae along the Atlantic coast. Some Of
these were six miles long.
With these aerials, the engineer was
able to get remarkable elimination
of static = at times. There is no
doubt chat his system did cut down
static to degree But it did not al
ways work
Unlike its forerunners. it could not
be put in "little black box. But it
was coated in theory, which Weagant
termed new law of nature He said
that all static was propagated in YER
teal directions, while radio signals
were propagated horizontally
SACCAN1Cy oGIIIGQ up Among IaulO en-
gineers by these disclosure soon de-
veloped many flaws in Weagant's
theories. But it did more than this
1t stimulated such great interest
in this greatest of radio problems, that
it could soon be said with certainty
that static was not in any great degree
propagated in vertical directions. Like
the radio signal, it travelled in the
main, horizontally.
1t was also learned that the great
est natural disturbances came from
certain directions almost always.
Our greatest American source is in
the Gulf of Mexico and northern South
America. The creates source for the
Eastern Hemisphere is over Africa. No
static of consequence originates over
the sea.
In laying out the high-power trans
oceanic stations, advantage has been
taken of these discoveries. Sets are
installed to receive from east and west
and not from north and south
A continent or island in the tropics
upon which there are high hills or
mountains is most certain to be a
source of static. The larger the land.
the higher the mountains, and the
more tropical the cline, the greaye
the energies store up in the natural
disturbances.

from his right wing, for the enemy
took particular delight in making him
a target.
At the close of the war, "old Abe"
was brought home and turned over to
the state. He was given a home in the
capitol and everything was done for his
comfort. Thousands visited him. So
famous did he become that P. T. Bra
mum offered to buy him for $4,000.
Two paintings of "Old Abe" hang
not far from the flags of the 9Th regi-
ment. He was just as proud Of his rec
ord as any of the other soldiers.
Mr.. Rood takes particular delight in
telling, of the visit of great man to
his little shrine when it was in the
old capitol. This man was Theodore
Roosevelt. After having seen the
treasures of the room, Roosevelt was
asked by Mr.. Rood to send his picture
to be placed among those of other
great men. Roosevelt responded to this
request and his picture now hangs
alongside of those of Lincoln, Wash
ington, Grant and the governors of
Wisconsin.
Ten years ago the Wisconsin de-
partment of the G. A. R. had 6.1O9
members. Last year there were 2,433.
Mr.. Rood estimates that about half
of the veterans in the state belong
to the G. A. R.

MADE RADIO POSSIBLE.
BY Paul F. Cooley

The man who made modern radio
possible is John Ambrose Flemming,
professor of electrical engineering at
University College, London, since 1885.
His invention of the thermionic valve
in 1904 has extended the use of radio
to all parts of the globe. 1t is con-
sidered the keystone of the arch of
modern wireless telegraphy.
Before the development of this form
of vacuum tube, wireless telegraphy
was restricted to the use of crystals as
detectors of radio frequency currents.
Only short distances could be covered
and signals could not be amplifed. Ra-
dio telephony was not practicable.
Lives Saved.
Now, with the aid of this. tube, thous-
ands of miles have been covered in a
flash. Flying airplanes, ships at sea,
submarines undersea, have been able
to communicate with land. Lives and
property have been saved.
Before Prof. Jennings invention,
Thomas Edison had discovered that a
burning electric lamp emitted%a flow
of electrons from the filament Prof.
Fleming experimental on this phe-
nomenon until he found he could make
use of these escaping electrons by in
sorting a plate in the vacuum. The
plate, of nickel, was sensitized positive
ly from battery.
When he applied an alternating cur
rent to the tube, Prof. Fleming found
the tube acted like valve, allowing the
current to pass only in one direction
and shutting off the returning cur
rent.
Main Purpose.
This is the chief purpose of the
thermionic valve = to catch the high
frequency alternating current transmit
ted through the ether and convert it
into direct current that could be
heard through ear phones.
It was DR.. Lee De Forest of New
York who interposed zig-zag wire or
grid between the filament and the
plate. This formed the starting point
for further developments of the Their
mionic valve which have finally brought
about the present three-electrode tube.
Since the inception of radio all kinds
of devices have been tried out in an
effort to eliminate the great bugaboo,
static.

WAR ON BUREAUCRACY IMPENDs

feel disposed rather to thank him than other
wise for the remarks that he has made" These
words were spoken by Senator Warren, Repub-
lican of Wyoming, to Senator Stanley, Democrat
OF Kentucky, who had just made brief and
forceful speech condemning ''the growth of
bureaucratic control, the increase of the per-
sonnet of the departments and of commissions
and of boards and of bureaus, and of every
other agency ever utilized or ever abused by a
paternalistic regime" Replying to Senator
! Warren, Senator Stanley said: "In this fight
that lam making against the duplication of de-
partments against the assumption by the Fed
eral Government of authority previously vested
IN the States which belongs there against not
only the betrayal of the peoples liberties but
the squandering of their patrimony, I welcome

and hope patriots of both sides will forget
every other consideration except the personal
The Telegraph-courier. [volume] (Kenosha, Wis.) 1888-1946, 1922-08-17
and material rights of a free people

anu material TlgHIS OF Tree people,
Senator Stanley has aligned himself with
Senator Borah, Republican of Idaho against
the wholesale taking from courts, from local
government, from the States from con-
stituted authority in every shape and form, the
conduct of the peoples affairs and the control
of those things that local communities have
controlled during the whole history of this
Government, taking it away from every other
form of governmental supervision, and stick
ing it somewhere in a hidden bureau here in
Washington" He declares: There is more
power today exercised in these marble esar-
cophagl by unknown experts, the politically
controlled appointees of whispering propaganda
than by the courts themselves. The court has
become unbearable."
Senator Stanley is Democrat and his poll
tics are not such as invariably commend them
selves to the party now in control Nevertheless
his stand against bureaucracy is statesmanlike
and his aid in graduating it will be warmly well
coined by those Republicans who are working
toward the same end. It will avail little to bick-
er in an attempt to lay the blame for the situa-
ton which confronts US, and which, if some i'll
advised legislators have their way, will grow
more acute. The fact remains that we are rap
idly Tending toward bureaucracy and away
from representative government. Time and
again, in his campaign speeches, President
Harding condemned this un-American evolu-
ton.
The latest manifestation of this evolution
is the proposal to enlarge the powers Of the
tariff commission to include the rate-making
power in laying tariff duties. We already have
an able commission whose duties are confined
to the ascertainment of pertinent information
to lay before the Congress. That is sufficient,
if it is necessary. For Congress to empower
this commission to lay rates of duty would be
an act the constitutionality of which is CUES
tionable, and the coWardice of which would be
apparent. It would be virtual confession
that the representatives of the people were in
capable of handling this fundamental question.
1t would enable whispering propaganda to
focus it's whole attention on little group of
men whose permanency in office could not be
attacked without clear proof of their venality.
If we are to continue American principles we
must have less of commission and more of re-
preventative government If bureaus are need
ed to secure information for legislative pur-
poses, those bureaus should be Congressional
bureaus - joint congressional committees -
made up of the peoples representatives and
properly equipped for functioning. Let the exc
cutive departments be confined to that
for which they were primarily intended - adj
ministrative work.
