paign is to loosen the hold of big
monopolies on the Government and on
the country. President Coolidge said:
I'VE oppose the artificial supports
of privilege and monopoly because
they are both unjust and uneconomic.
They are not right They do not
work. No sound and enduring gov
ernment or prosperity can rest upon
anything but the sure foundations of
equal opportunity and justice for
ALL"
Not only did the President de-
nounce private monopoly, but he took
a fling at Government monopOlies,'
saying that this country would not
be land of opportunity. America
would not be America, If the people
were shackled with Government mo-
nopolies."

The proposals advanced by Senator
La Toilette that the Government
should acquire and control the trans
portation systems of the country, and
that there should be recall of judicial
decisions by Congress, involving the
constitutionality of laws enacted,
were denounced inferentially by the
President.
He opposed strongly further Gov
ernment ownership and control of in

The Death Toll Underground.

Another hideous mine horror has
occurred, this time in West Virginia.
where ia miners were entombed by
an explosion. Nothing is known about
the cause, and perhaps nothing will
ever be known, for apparently every
man inside the working was killed by
the blast or suffocatcd by the damp.
The explosion appears to have been
one OF unusual force, the conclusion
alone being estimated to have been
sufficient to kill 4 majority Of the men
inside.
Every possible precaution is taken
in mining nowadays against explo-
sions. The air is tested repeatedly, and
when gas appears the workings are
closed for ventilation. Safety lamps
are used. Powerful fans are installed
to draw out the polluted air. Yet ex-
plosions continue. Though the evi-
dences are usually destroyed, it is rea-
sonable to conclude that in virtually
every case the explosion is due to some
breach of rule, to the opening of a
safety lamp, or to the striking Of a
match by a smoker. Once in q while
these mine disasters are caused by
some fault Of the wiring in case of the
use Of electricity in a mine, but few
mines are thus equipped, and it may
be set down that in almost all cases
some human fault is the cause Of the
disaster.
These men who go into the depths
Of the earth for our fuel are at dead
ly risk not only because of the condi-
tions, but because of the ignorance and
wrong of their fellows. De-
spite the most persistent instructions
and careful safeguards, rules against
naked flames in mines are broken. Men
persist in taking chances which en-
danger not only themselves but all
their companions. No machinery for
ventilation can be devised to overcome
the hazard that lies latent in a coal
mine. No rules, it would seem, that
an intelligent management can impose,
and not even the most diligent super
vision, can check the carelessness that
leads to wholesale sacrifice of life.

twisted or curved it may be. The
light flows through it like water
through a tube, with little or no loss.
Some wonderful discoveries have
been made by means OF the electric
furnace. Degrees Of heat that never
were before conceived as possible of
development by man have been pro-
duced. Some time ago experjmenters
were at work seeking the production
of precious stones by this means, and
diamonds have been actually created
in these furnaces. though too minute
to be Of any value. This use of the
electric furnace is promising Of high
usefulness. There is no telling how
far this discovery may lead. A glass
that carries light with little or no
loss in all directions, around corners,
in circles, in eccentric curves may
find a use in illumination as we'll as
in therapeutics, revolutionizing mod
ern methods.

An Enlarged Botanic Garden.

The prospect brightens that a bill
for the extension Of the site OF the
Botanic Garden will receive final
consideration by this Congress, and
advocates of the measure believe that
the action of Congress viii be affirma-
tive. The House rules committee has
given favorable consideration to the
bill, and the chairman of that COM
mittee has said that he will endeavor
to have the measure brought up at
the earliest possible date when 1t will
not interfere with more important
general legislation.

a New Laboratory Marvel.

Announcement is just made Of a
discovery through laboratory ex-
periments at Lynn, Mass, Of sub
stance known as cleared-fused quartz,
which. looking like ordinary glass,
has remarkable properties that may
make it available for invaluable uses
in science and probably in the treat
ment of disease. This quartz, which
is produced in electric furnaces at ex-
traordinarily high temperatures and
under tremendous gas pressure, is an
excellent transmitter Of heat and ul-
trayiolet light rays, as well as ordi-
nary light. BY means of the fused
quartz it is believed to be possible to
apply the ultraviolet ray, which is
that element in sunlight which pos
sesses a curative quality, to internal
parts of the body hitherto impossible

COURAGE
II am the master OF my fate.
1 am the captain OF my soul"
HENLEY.

Frank McManamy wanted an edu-
cation, was too poor to acquire it
otherwise, so went to work that he
might earn living while studying.
First a water boy for construc-
ton gang on the Pennsylvania sys-
tenn, he then Joined a section gang,
worked at track-laying and sought
way to supplement his common
school education. While firing a To-
comotive on the Chicago and West
Michigan railroad in 1891 he made a
and attended q business college at
Traverse City. Then he studied law
for two years. After six years as a
fireman he was promoted to engineer.
Resigning in 1899, he became an air
brake instructor for a correspondence
school and soon was assistant mana
ger Of the railway department, then
engineer of tests.
Entering the service of the Inter-
state Commerce Commission in 1903
as inspector of safety appliances, he
won higher positions rapidly. APP
pointed chief inspector of locomotives
by President Wilson in 1918, he held
the position until Secretary McAdOO
made him assistant director of opera
tions for the United States Railroad
Administration.
When the war came he speeded
heavy repairs on freight cars, 10000
a month; persuaded 250,000 shopmen
to toll seventy hours week: recondi-
toned thousands of locomotives, and
placed $500 new locomotives in serv-
ice.
Besides educating himself in all
lines of railway work, he had learned
the name and location of every i'm
portant railway terminal in the
United States, and was able to organ
ize the total shop capacity with in
credible swiftness, SO that each To-
comotive needing repair could be sent
to the nearest shop, irrespective of
ownership, thus making it possible
to operate every shop at its maxi
mum.
When negotiations for a standard
wage agreement with the men was
on the verge of falling through, Nc
Manamy was chosen to prevent fail
ure and arranged the understanding
which is the basis of the present ma
tional agreement.
BY these and many other salient
achievements he won the recognition
Of President Harding, who named him
to his present position.

Sensible Republicans will congrat-
ulate their party over its failure TO

according to the Detroit News Gnde-
pendent), because, 'if Bloom had been
unseated, the Democratic leaders
would have been able to magnify
the case into an issue" The News
goes on to say, Had the Republicans,
welding the majority whip, been able
to vote Bloom out OF office on some
what doubtful grounds. there would
have been little to prevent similar
action, on no grounds at ALL" for
leaders of a majority party in Con-
gress would have been in position to
GUST any or all members of the mi
nority": hence the action of the
House in following the face of the
returns in the Bloom Chandler case
dlsposes of some disturbing possibili-
ties" In any event, the Minneapolis
Tribune (Republican) holds the seat
ing of Bloom should serve as an addi-
tional spur to the Republican party
to make itself fully deserving of the
confidence OF the voters who go to
the polls in November for "Presi-
whole responsibility" The Buffalo
News (Republican) attaches more
than usual political significance to
the action of the insurgents, because
in case of deadlock in the electoral
college the election of President
would be thrown into the House and
New York would go to the Demo-
cratic candidate. In this case. the
News claims, ''the insurgents did not
advance their cause. but merely made
a play for the Democrats in Con-
gress." Feeling that every incident
in Washington these days is magni-
fed in accordance with its future
possibilities" the Memphis News
Scimitar independently maintains
that while ''sonle may think the vic
tory of Mr. Bloom was quite a blow
to the Republicans, there is not the
slightest Indication that the House
will be called on to perform its con-
stitutional function of electing n
President; however, safeguards against
such contingency are in order"

roadway, that on which the car line
runs now, would be left for use as a
street. The bill as it stands today has
an item Of 100000 for the purchase
Of private property needed for car
rying out the plan. It proposes the
appropriation of 100000 for q con-
serv.tory and other buildings for the
garden.
When this bill was under discus
sion by the House committee on pub
lie buildings and grounds, and which
reported it favorably to the House,
it was brought out that the Botanic
Garden now has a large appropria-
but that the building is in such con-
dition as not to justify expenditure
OF the money for repairs. This fact
was stressed before the House rules
committee. 1t was impressed both
upon the House committee on public
buildings and grounds and the House
rules committee that much of the
land to be used for extending the
garden is now owned by the govern
ment. The extension OF the garden
as planned would greatly improve a
large section OF South Washington,
would increase the usefulness and
beauty Of the Botanic Garden, and
would permit the removal OF struc-
lures appurtenant to the garden and

plan for an open park from the Capt.

Cleaning Up.

the middle of April the Commissioners
issued their annual proclamation, and
designated the week from April 2S to
May 5, inclusive, urging all citizens to
unite in making Washington the
cleanest and most beautiful city in the
United States" Thousands of our peo-
pie did not wait for the date set by the
proclamation. Many did not even wait
for the issuance OF the official call
They heard the call of spring and fell
to the job of answering it. With the
holders proud Of home and city ap-
peared in shirt sleeves or gingham
apron, and there was the rasp and rat
tie Of lawn-mowers where there was
grass enough to cut. The spade was
reused from its winters sleep, and
there was O. stirring Of sweet-smelling
earth. There was busy planting of
seed and trimming of rose bushes,
wistaria and spirea and tender minis
tration to other garden idols The
scent Of fresh paint fills parts OF the
city. But the peak of the spring clean
up will be reached this week. The
Commissioners have proclaimed and
the people will give earnest support
and effective answer to the proclama-
ton.
