THE DIABoLIcAL RAY

The "diabolical ray" bore from the
beginning the mark of quackery. The
extreme claims that were made by its
inventor. his unwillingness to submit
his invention to thorough testing, his
attempts to make a quick sale Of his
secret" in so many places, the out
cropping Of others with similar "se-
crets"-all these circumstances brought
1t under the suspicion of the judicious,
says the New York Evening Post.
Science in our time is no longer black
magic; it progresses step by step over
broad field and many minds are ia
miliar with each small and successive
advance. No one experimenter can
jump very far ahead of the crowd.
Doubtless there are many that could
duplicate the "diabolical ray" stunts,
as HOudini duplicates the doings Of
mediums. In fact, it is reliably re-
ported that some similar device is in
use for killing vermin in biscuit fac
tories. However diabolical the ray
may be, the chances are hundred to
one against its being important
enough for the world to get excited
about.

Personally ! am very proud to have
been connected with such an or
ganization. 1t is not only the larg-
est and most wealthy Corporation in
the world, but it stands for and adj
vocates the highest ideals, both
towards its employees and the people
with whom it has business relations,
as well as the public at large.
Several years ago, when the
legality of the organization was
questioned in the courts, the very
best witnesses were it's competitors,
who gladly testified that the Steel
Corporation had been very steady
ing influence in the business of this
great country and its effect on other
smaller corporations had been bene-
fetal rather than detrimental.
at has always stood for good
wages, good working conditions and
reasonable hours. 1t has always
been the last to reduce. 1t has
shown a deep interest in the well
fare and comfort of its employees,
las evidenced by the large number
of comfortable homes provided. the
establishment of a pension fund, the
stock subscription plan, its liberal
contribution to churches, hospitals
and other deserving institutions and
in many other ways.
'Not only the stockholders of the
Steel Corporation, but every citizen
in the United States are to be con-
graduated upon having .at its head
Judge Gary, a man trained as a
jurist, of long and eminently sue
cessful business career, always cour-
teous and cordial, mindful at all
times of the rights of competitors,
considerate of and placing great i'm
portance on public opinion, ever in
sisting upon doing what is fair and
right. The larger the corporation
the more Importance of it's being
directed by man who combines all
of these important qualities. May
he be spared for many years to us,
who esteem and love him for his
high qualities.
Finally l wish to again as have
often done, express the very great
pleasure and satisfaction l have had
in being associated for so many
years with men of such high char
acter and ability, to have made
strong friendships of such long
standing. It is these pleasant asso-
Citations that have induced me and
undoubtedly others to continue in
our work, who might otherwise be
inclined to step aside and spend the
few remaining years in less active
work.
81 am certain that mingling with
each other as we have today, will
tend to better acquaintance and
closer friendship and that we will
all return to our work with renewed
vigor and look forward to just as
fine a time year from now"

BOOTLEG BONDS.

A tax-free bond is bootleg bond
in that the profit to it's owner
through escaping all taxes, fails to
pay its just share toward govern
ment, just as the profits from boot
leg whisky fail to pay their share
of government expense.
The tax-free bond is legal, how
ever, while bootleg liquor is not,
but in both instances the govern
ment loses revenue from the profits
in the transaction.
Simple justice demands that our
laws be changed so that the profits
from future issues of public bonds
may be taxed. They would always
command, a lower interest rate than
private bonds on account of their

quence of the verdict of these

or six cults or sects outside of the
old established parties of Republic

An industry to be successful these
days must have the respect and CO.
operation of its employees along
with he heads of departments. The
greater number. of the successful
men of today are those growing up
out of the ranks. Take a look
about you and see. There was a
time when the head of an organiaa-
ton would bring in his son just
out of college, or the son of his
sister, his aunt, or his cousin. Men
in the ranks used to resent that and
justly so. Today big industry re-
sents it, and justly so. 1t doesn't
pay. The executive of a depart
ment must be man who knows all
the ropes of the game from the
tying of simple knot to the cast
ing of an order-encircling lasso. A
boy out of college may be full of
ideas and theories but he has a vast
amount. of knowledge to get from
the men at the benches. Place
him on the highest point of the
road and he has nowhere to go but
down. Start him at the bottom,
however, and he discovers many
places to- which he can lift himself
by sheer strength and power.

Figures recently compiled by the
state of Oregon show that SO per
cent of its automobile wrecks are
caused by carelessness. Of 9,131
accidents reported from January l

entirely to carelessness. Added to
these may be included the follow
ing: speeding, 1873; failure to give
right of way, 1881; reckless driving,
260; cutting corners, 372; double
at intersections, 155; driving while
intoxicated, 1913; failure to give sig

been avoided, according to the re-
port of the secretary of state, had
