To this statement, Senator Robinson

lection of politics into this subject, and
saying:
Il have no disposition to take issue
with the Senator from Maryland re

governmental policies as stupid beyond

Three years and more have come

Senator from Maryland is associated
assumed control il both branches of
Congress, with an Overwhelming ma

governmental policy Of the United

commercial and industrial conditions as

BELL TOLD WATSON OF
THE FIRST TELEPHONE

Thomas Watson. Alexander Graham
Bells right hand man, who built the
first telephone and who played a prom
inent part in the development of the
business in the early days, tells how
the great inventor confided to him his
theory of speech transmission in the
following story:
Mr.. Bell was very apt to do his eX
perimenting at night, for he was busy
during the day at the Boston Univer-
city. where he was Professor of Vocal
Physiology, especially teaching MS
fathers system of visible speech, by
which a deaf mute might learn to talk
quite significant of what Bell was
soon to do in making mute metal talk
For this reason would often remain at
the shop during the evening to help
him test some improvement he had had
me make on the instruments.

from our struggles with the apparatus
Bell said to me: Watson 1 want to tell
YOU Of another idea l have, which l
think will surprise you J. listened, 1
suspect. somewhat languidly, for 1
must have been working that day about
IS hours with only a short nutritive in
terval and Bell had already given me,
the weeks we had worked together,
more new ideas on a great variety of
subjects, including visible speech, elo-
cution, and flying machines, than my
brain could assimilate, but when he
went on to say that he had an idea by
which he believed it would be possible
to talk by telegraph, my nervous sys-
tenn got such a shock that the tired
feeling vanished. I have never for
gotten his exact words; they have run
in my mind ever since like a nathe-
NAUTICAL formula. If he said, could
make a current of electricity vary in
intensity, precisely as the air varies in
density during the production of
sound, I should be able to transmit
speech telegraphically.' lie then

STUPID BEYOND DESCRIPTION"

BANDITRY-THE HIGH
WAY TO SUCCESS

It was as bandit that Chang Tso-
ling rose to his present height. OF his
early career little definite is known
but the legend goes that as a young
boy he was Kidnapped from a good
family by bandits and taken to Man
churia. Having grown up among ban
dts, he became one himself and by
courage and resourcefulness made him
self leader Of his band. After the man
ner of primitive conquerors he subdued
other bands. consolidated them under
his leadership and emerged as u sort

provinces He was then eligible for

THE SELECTION OF
CAMP JACKSON

Jacksonville received n real Christ
mas gift in the shape of the announce
lment that Col c. r. Forbes had deci l.
ed upon Camp Joseph T. Johnston as
the site for the second vocational train
ing university for ex-service men, sub
| iect to the presidents approval, which
is expected.
This is q big victory for Jacksonville
in view of the determined fight for the
Southern University by other cities Of
the section, but those conducting the
campaign in behalf OF the city or Jack
sonville felt confident that the award
would be made on merits and that I'M
der the circumstances Jacl1sonvilles
chances were expected. 1t was felt all
along that if Colonel Forbes could be
induced to personally inspect the site
there could be but little question as to
the outcome. The same was true dur
ing the war when Camp Johnston was
designated as the site for one of the
great cantonments. After 10 sites in
the South had been selected, General
Wood, then in command of what was
known as the Department of the
Southeast, was prevailed upon after
much insistence to come to Jackson
Vile to view what was then known as
the state encampment grounds at
Black Point, and he expressed wonder
after his inspection that Jacksonville
had not been one of the first if not
the first site to be designated. It was
upon his recommendations that the
quartermasters training camp YVES 10

The Metropolis feels a measure Of
pride in the designation Of Camp John
ston in view Of the fact that this news
paper first suggested the idea Of try
ing to interest Colonel Forbes in the
site for one of the proposed UNIVERSE
ties. No sooner. had the fact that sev-s
eral such universities would be estab-'
Nshed in as many sections of the coun-
try been announced than The NTetrop-
oils began to burn the wires to Wash
ington.
But all Jacksonville responded to the
suggestion and every cooperation was
given by the Chamber of Commerce,
city officials and the public in general,
with the result that the government,
as represented by Colonel Forbes,
quickly saw that it was with a sincere
desire that Jacksonville sought the uni
versity. He could not feel but that
Jacksonville and Florida were ready
and willing to give fullest cooperation
in the establishment of the university.
Colonel Forbes has not mede mis-
take. Jacksonville is confident that no
other site mentioned could measure up
the high standard set by Camp John
ston in all respects.
Jacksonville is proud or the selec-
ton and viii try TO measure up in
every respect when the president gives
his assent.

Oh God, our help in ages past,
our hope for years to come.
Our shelter from the stormy blast,
And our eternal home. Amen.

Sufficient is Thine arm alone
And our defense is sure.
Before the hills in order stood,
Or earth received her frame,
From everlasting Thou art God,

leader. He offers to go the way Of
good citizenship in exchange for an APP
pointment as governor of a province.
The government offers to make him a
general. They compromise on his APP
pOintment as brigade commander with
a station rich and ripe for the plucking.
When negotiations have been satisfac-
torily contaminated, the government
troops are brought up. They launch
an attack on the bandits, fire into the
air for a few minutes and then with
draw. Official proclamation is made:
the bandits have been dispersed and
order restored. And the former bandit
chieftain finds that Squeeze" is far
more profitable than robbery-and
much less hazardous. Such Is the his
tory of not a few of the outstanding
notables in contemporary Chinese pub
lie life.
Such is Chang Tso-llnE's history.
Now he is governor of the Manchurian
provinces, an empire in themselves. He
commands an army Of nearly 200. 900
men, whom he uses as the spirit moves,
regardless of the fact that their pay
comes from the national treasury. or ~
least from the provincial taxes and by
virtue OF his armed strength and Of his
strategic position on the Peking-Afuk-
den Railway, he maintains his hold on
the government of China-~for the time.
