Elihu Thomson, who today enters
upon his 10th year, ranks among the
foremost of the world 5 electricians and
inventors His genius and achievements
have been recognized by numerous
awards and decorations, the honors be-
slowed upon him including the first Edi-
SOP medal, the Rumford medal. the John
Fritz medal, and a medal from the Royal
Society of London. Professor Thomson
is native of Manchester, England. who,
coming to America early in his career,
was educated in the Philadelphia public
schools and after his graduation started
his career as a teacher of chemistry and
mechanics. While thus engaged he was
constantly experimenting. producing
new devices. and attracting attention
by his writings on electricity. In 1880
he ceased TO be a pedagogue and became
a producing and vending electrician, en-
gazing in the manufacture and distribu-
ton of hundreds of his own patented de-
vices. Today he is the consulting expert
as well as part owner. of the largest
corporation in the world in the manufac-
ture of electrical machinery

The biggest obstacle in the handling
of recent legislation at Washington has
been the lack of close and full COM
munication between the executive and
legislative branches of government. This
has appeared chiefly in connection with
the arms conference treaties and the
bonus bill 1t is not a transient defect.
but one of long standing which is des-
tined to arise and plague one admins
tration after another, until something
is done about it.
In any foreign government, when
such treaties were up for ratification.
the secretary of state would have been
present in the senate chamber-or what
ever cOrrespOnded to it-as a matter of
course. He would be there to explain
the treaties and defend them. and an
swer any inquiries raised about them.
According to our established method. all
that Secretary Hughes can do in such
cases is to appear before a committee
when invited, or write a letter and
trust to some senatorial friend to get it
before the senate.
Similarly in any foreign government
the secretary of the treasury would be
present in the house. when such a meas
ure as the bonus bill was being cOnsid7
cred, to give that body advice on the
| matter and explain in detail its prob
able effect on the federal treasury.
The handicap suffered in these two
/ cases has been merely little more OBJ
vious than usual. The evil always ex-
lists, and always will as long as there
is no provision for closer and more au-
/ tomato cooperation. 1t would be a
simple matter to give cabinet members
seats in the senate and house, with the
privilege of advice and discussion but
without votes, according to the British
precedent: The New York World sug-
gests a constitutional amendment for
this purpose. If it is required, the pub
lie would surely be glad to support it.

RADIO CHURCH COLLECTIONS

The stingy giver who hoped to es-
cape a church contribution by listening
in on a radio church service was disap-
pointed in at least one instance. The
man at whose home this particular serv-
ice was being received passed the contri-
button plate himself and informed his
friends that the money collected would
go to the preacher sending out the ser
mon or to some charity. The episode
opens new line of thought with re-
gard to this sort of church service.
The broadcasting of sermons by able
men is a good thing in itself because
it always is a good thing to send out
through the world, in any manner, in
spring and uplifting thoughts. But il
the earnest pastor of the home church
is to preach to empty benches and the
home contribution box go bare as a re
suit how about that?
Probably if these circumstances do
arise i'll any parish, they will be tempo
rary. When radio concerts and sermons
and lectures are a little less novel, they
will not loom so large. But even now
offering as they do a hitherto unknown
chance for the listener to broaden his
horizon and feel in touch with the bis
world outside, they should not be al
lowed to interfere with his loyal sup
port of the local institutions and indi
viduals working faithfully, day in anC
day out, to make life in the home com
munity livable and worth while.
