asked for money with which to run
their departments. always allowing
for any possible cut by Congress.
Then they appeared before a con-
gressional committee. The commit

would be resisted by the department
heads. The committee labored under
the handicap of being the attacking

plan. He takes up the departmental

Inventors of u. S.
Rush to Europe

A prophet is not without honor
save in his own country.
This old saw has proven itself
again curfously in the exodus of
several American inventors to Eu-
rope for first recognition.
Government officials have noted
lately an increasing number Of in
ventors and promoters taking their
projects to England prior to pre-
sentation in the American field.
Upon being launched in Europe, new
inventions often find the American
market easier to reach.
So many propositions which merit
attention are being brought forward
in the United States, it is said, that
under present conditions it seems
hardly possible for all Of them to be
considered with favor by persons in a
position to promote new things.
A certain new type Of motor 70
ceived very scant consideration bv
American builders until after the In.
ventor returned from his succassful
trip to Europe where he had made
arrangements for the use of his nat.
European builders. He was then
able to sell his American rights to
several we'll known concerns. A WOO,

vention has been successfully pro-
NOTED in the Yorkshire district of
England, and a. telephone specially
is being seriously considered by the
British post office. Neither Of these
inventions has yet been brought to
the general notice Of American buy-
ers..
One reason for this peculiar condf-
tion. 1t is explained. may be the fact
that there are many more hand
workers in England, in proportion
to the population. than in the United
States. The English are, in genera

The Senate committee investigating

1t seems unfortunate that articles SO

the assertion that wild uproar OF op-

In the early days of the republic the
subject was agitated and the w1fe OF
President Adams strongly protested
against the disfranchisement of women.
So also did the sister of Richard Henry
Lee Of Virginia, who said: ut Is an
outrage to admit such men as Alexan-

are denied" The author OF the Decla-
ration of Independence, Thomas Jeffer-
son, was strongly opposed to disfran-
chisement.
Movements i'm the Cos.
Back in the year 1867 a universal
franchise" association was formed in
Washington. Hamilton Wilcox. who
was one of the organizers, made before
a committee of Congress the first argu-
ment for woman suffrage. Hence, II
appears that a man, instead Of Wom-
an. was the first instigator OF the great
movement.
In 1866 the town Of Guilford. Conn,

is not getting better. AS a matter
of fact, the impression that the courts
are in league with capital and against
them is more pronounced in the
minds Of the toilers who are organ
ized. They believe they have the
| right to improve their living condi-
tions through the application Of their
economic power. They believe they
| are proceeding legally when they
strike. They believe they are within
| their legal rights when they resort
! to peaceful persuasion in effort to in
duce other wage earners not to take
their places. They believe they have
the right to use their money to aid
their brothers involved in strikes.
They believe they have the right to
organize the unorganized.
The policy Of the leaders in the
organized labor movement is to meet
what they term the invasion Of the
courts and their usurpation of power
by legislation. Thus far little sue
lation has been obtained. only to be
nullified by the courts by direct edict
or by circumlocution.
Serious Attention Given.
Serious attention has been given

ton council. Numerous conferences
and interviews have taken place in
the effort to prepare an all-sufflcfent
legislative proposal to adequately
meet the situation. Likewise, we
have had under consideration consti-
n &c

lieved that some effective measure
of redress may be perfected SO as to

attack on the courts, and that asser-
ton has covered a multitude Of judi
cial evils. Indeed, you may approve

piled to the unions. but by your ac-
