Mr.. Vardaman.

II Mr.. Vardaman makes goal in the
Mississippi run-off, what will be his
line-the special object Of his atten:
tion-when he returns to the Senate?
Upon his first appearance on Capitol
Hill it was reported that he would
agitate for the repeal Of the four
teenth and fifteenth amendments to
the Constitution, both Of which enact.
ments he assessed as unwise and as
having wrought evil.
But the time proved unpropitious.
The democracy had just returned to
power. and had a large general order
to fill. Moreover, some eighteen
months later the world war broke out,
and interest centered on new topics.
So that, for one reason or another, Mr..
Vardaman was not heard during his
term in the Senate on the subject with
which his name was most intimately
connected.
/ These. times are quite as unpro-
pitious for attacking the two amend:
ments mentioned. The pet present
agitation is for the repeal Of the eight
eenth amendment. 1t is going on q
little under cover as yet, but neverthe.
less is in progress. Mr.. Vardaman, it
is understood, is not in favor of that.
II brought together as colleagues in
the Senate, Mr.. Vardaman and Mr..
Harrison will not answer as the
Damon and Pythias of that body. The
former does not like Woodrow Wilson
a little bit, nor Mr.. Wilson him. Mr..
Harrison, on the other hand. is a Will
sonite to the core; sings Mr.. Wilson q
praises and enjoys to the full the con-
fldence Of the former President. II
there comes a revival In our national
politics Of what is called wisconsin.

represent it more thoroughly, or more

The Sea Plane Problem.

The big seaplane that started from
New York the other day for flight to
Brazil has come to grief somewhere
in the Windward passage. The pilot
sought to make descent into the sea
and, miscalculating the distance,
dropped too suddenly. and hit the
water with such force that the
fusilage of the craft was smashed and
she was completely crippled.
Much hope has been felt regarding
oversee flying on the score Of the
ability to keep plane afioat by means
of pontoons. Some optimists have even
averred that the airplane would soon
displace the steamboat, by virtue Of
greater speed Elaborate schemes have
been devised for midsea fuel and re.
pair stations. anchored to the sea bot
tom.
All Of these hopes are shown by the
fate of the Sampaio Correia to be con.
ditioned upon a much higher develop.
ment of the plane than has yet been
effected. Water is at once one Of the
most easily entered and the most obdu-
rate of materials. When hit softly it
parts and entrance Is effected. When
hit hard it is like rock. for the instant
of impact. The smashing power Of the
sea is traditional. Every ship that
rides a storm feels it. Some do not
survive 1t.
The airpiane that flies over water
must be stout enough to hit the sur
face without breaking. Strength means
weight, and weight cuts down the
range and power and carrying Ca
pacity OF the plane. Here is the prob.
lem. The inventors must find means
to make a seaplane stouter than the
water when hit hard.

WEALTH

What is Wealth?
Wealth is relative term. 1t can be
defined in many ways. The definition
depends on what we mean by Wealth.
In Political Economy Wealth means
value-that is anything possessing value.
In the minds of most people Wealth
means riches or being af1uent; or having
an abundance of things worth while and
desirable.
There are two kinds of real Wealth in
the world. The natural resources by the
application to them of the brain and the
Drawn of humanity.
Natural wealth while dormant, or in
natural state, has little or no commercial
value, such as man-made wealth possesses
after labor has been applied to it along
the lines of individual, or collective, effort.
What we call money is not Wealth.
Money is only the yardstick by which
natural Wealth, or man-made Wealth is
measured. In other words money is the
representative of Wealth. We can have
Wealth without money, but no money
without Wealth.
In every avenue of human industry
men and women make Wealth by the ap-
plication of their brain and their Drawn
to the natural resources of the earth,
utilizing the various agencies of civiliza-
ton, such as inventions and mechanical
contrivances.
In the limited sense 0f the subject matter
Wealth is the product of labor. If this
fundamental is understood, then labor is
entitled, to say the least, to an equitable
= share of its product. The trouble between
labor and capital is that labor does not
get its just share of the results of labor.

called as it will be helpful to all students.
An index of authors and titles would be a
help but so far we have not printed such
an addition to the catalogue. There is
such an index on cards in the library and
any requests for information as to whether
given book was in the library or what
books it had by given author could be
answered by the librarian.
This catalogue was printed while the
library was open as usual and the books
in circulation. This is quite unusual as it
is the right of the librarians to have all
the books called in and the library closed
during the process of re-cataloguing.
"We've got to hand it to- the librarian
who with but one extra helper has re-
numbered all the books and at the same
time has kept up his daily routine. A
librarians job is usually considered
snap. 1t ranks with that of Bishop as
being a "Nice, aisy, clane job" But the
fact is that it involves miles of trudging
around the prison and the carrying of over
six thousand books and periodicals every
month to the men who use the library.
The Warden has generously supplied
some of the newest and most discussed
books of the period, and also the most up
to-date encyclopaedia, The Americana.
Many of the departing inmates have
turned over to the library their technical
books and other valuable material. The
Prison Printing Department has added by
binding large number of volumes of per-
iodicals.
What we lack is some good way of
getting the right book to the man who
needs it but is not library broke" There
are a good many books in the library that
were bought especially for the man who
has not the reading habit and must be
helped to suitable books before he can
master the printed page. A library visi-
tor" would be a great help. AS this seems
to be out of the question, any other method
that suggests itself would have considera-
ton if put before us in the columns of

a turning lathe, where the face of all the
brass work is struck on one side by pumice
stone and on the other by file, and grad
ually brought down to perfect smoothness
and evenness and the exact size needed.
All the other rollers are treated in the
way indicated, each getting its share of
the design hammered into its face in brass
work and each afterward being reduced
to smoothness and the proper size by the
file and pumice stone.
When the rollers have been prepared
they are taken to press, which consists of
a large cylinder, the width of ordinary
wall paper. Around the bottom and sides
of this cylinder are grooves into which the
rods on the ends of the rollers fit, the faces
of the rollers just touching the cylinder
when they are in position.
To each of thetfollers comes from below
an endless cloth band, which works up
ward from color pan in which the color
ing matter, in the shape of a thin liquid,
to be used on the particular parts of the
design carried on the roller in question is
lying.
Each of the rollers is registered, that is,
turned so that the portion of the design
on it will strike exactly in the spot neces-
STATED by the relative position of the other
rollers. When all is thus arranged and
the paper, which has previously passed
through the blotcher, is conducted between
the cylinder and the first roller, the ma
chine is started. The cylinder and the
rollers revolve at once, each of the latter
printing its color just where it was in
tended, and steel scraper, called "doc-
tor" lying at each of the endless cloth
bands, sees to it that not too much liquid
from the other pans gets on the rollers
The press works very rapidly, throwing
off 10 rolls of the paper a minute, each
roll containing 16 yards.-Ex.

A WORD ABOUT THE NEW
LIBRARY CATALOGUE
To THE MIRROR Readers:

To THE MIRROR Readers:
AS there is no one here but ourselves, it
is allowable for us to express our satisfac-
ton over the fine appearance of the new
catalogue. 1t is all in good taste. The
color of the cover, the size of the type, the
quality of the paper, are all details that
represent consideration and good judgment
on the part of the head of the printing de-
partment and the prison management.
The arrangement of the catalogue by
classes follows the custom established
good mnay years ago at this institution.
When it was first used it must have met
with much opposition as most people still
insist that nobody wants to know about
anything but the title of book" How
ever, the practice of arranging books by
classes is now universal and prison cat
alogue made up by titles only would be a
back number.
There is an Index of Subjects in the
front of the book to which attention is
