Not 40 long ago drunkenness IN the
British Parliament. especially on the
side Of the Tories. who dined late and
well. was extremely common. =. +.
OConnor, eldeat member Of the
House, remembers It well. And the
rule by which the members sit in
Parliament with their hats on is sup.
poaed 10 have started because II was
y nuisance to remind all the drunken
members TO take their hats off when
the speaker entered. A story tells Of
the great Pitt. who had kept his hat
on and was asked whether he was
aware Of the presence Of the speaker.
Instantly taking of his hat. he re-
piled. courteOusly. that he regretted
to say he was aware Of the presence
OF two speakers.
The suggestion by Postmaster New
that my attack on the United States
mails be made capital offcnsc is
sound.
No man attacks mail car or wagon
without including murder in his pro-
gram. Life Imprisonment ut hard
labor, and useful labor, would dis
courage that crime.
but great concerns, including
banks, and especially the federal re-
serve, should avoid huge mail ship
lnents Of currency for pay rolls, etc..
and II such shipments must be. made
the government should find way to
make them safely. Sending out an
unprotected mail driver with million
dollars in his load Is criminal fool
lahncss.
A Frenthman. Professor Audibcrt.
manufactures artificial crude oil and
gasoline svnthctically.
He mixes hydrogen and carbon
dioxide IN "a vat, sends the mixture
into q compressor, with power equal
to the weight Of 200 atmospheres
Thc compressed mixture goes into n
filter and comes oat crude oil.
This. he says, initiates natures
process. II need not, however, worry
oil well owners. Onc English land
lord ruined himself initiating natures
process in creating water power.
When he had used the water on his
watar wheel he pumped it back up
the hill and used 1t again. He learned
that the power used to pump water
uphill is always more than you can
get out OF that water as it comes
down hill. Nature has had millions
of years in which to make crude oil,
and makes it too economically for
mans competition.
Professor Millikan, lccturin. Mt
Yale. says ri the great and noble
Calico:
III Galilco's own work were sub
tractcd from modern civilization the
world would revert TO the condition
Of life prevailing in ancient times,
for not a single dynamical device for
the utilization Of power or the trans
formation Of the energy stored up Ia
nature can be designed today withou,
the use u the mechanical laws dis
covered by Calico. and completely
unknown TO the ancient world"
When that same Calico, exploring
the wonders Of tho universe. read
that man In Holland had manufac-
turcd n, glass that brought things
nearer" he Immediately made with his
own hands tho first real telescope.
bringing to men for the first time the
rings Of Saturn, moons of Jupiter, etc.
and said that the earth goes around

all the heavens revolving around it,
they made him get down on his knees,
and swear that he abjured, abhorred
and detested his "heresics."
That memory should make some
fandamentalist gentlemen careful
about denouhcinR new ideas. They
may be true. The earth docs 60
around the sun.
In the fight for the control of
Russia's government, Stain Is said
to have beaten Trotzky. Stain wants
nltocratic government, with himself
the autocrat-Trotzky wants more de-
mecraey.
Revolution leads to autocracy a.
ways, among the illiterate. Then the
people think and autocracy changes to
democracy, controlled more or less by
pIutocracy.
