QuiXotic since word comes to us that the day
is not so far distant when heat will be trans
mitted by radio. All such dreams appear as
the quintescence of Imagination when they
first reach the public ear, but in these days OF
wonders one hcstates to pass Judgment on the
possible
The transmission of heat would not appear
to the layman to be hey human solution, for
the vibratory theory is generally accepted.
Light, heat color and sound seem firmly es-
tablished as first cousins if not holding closer
relationship. The transfer of sound through
the ether, which amazed the world only a few
years ago is now accepted part of the regu-
lar order of life The transfer of the motion
picture by radio is well along its way The
transmission Of heat probably depends more
than anything else on our ability to perfect am
. plifcation. So far rs power may be con-
cerned there lies in the tides enough power to
burn the universe to crisp.
It follows Of course matter of sequence
that once the world can be warmed through
the air. it can be cooled by a related process
so that probably before lon% we may find our
selves out Of the Grip Of the notorious coal and

WOMEN, BRAINS AND POLITICS

Rheta Childe Dorr, noted writer, says that
an outstanding woman with brains has as

same machine that controlled their husbands,

critic of her sex says she recently heard a
speech in Congress that high school girl
wouldn't make. She also declares the same
condition exists in local politics. All the

Women are still being Disseminated

thank they are in politics. all of which may
be true in degree but IS not in any way Pc
culiar to the sex. There are many men who
think they are in politics but who in reality
are only the tools Of hidden power behind the
throne. Years Of observation of nominations
made from time to time at the command of
man controlled machines here and there are
quite conclusive proof of that fact. We fear
though Rheta Childe Dorr may be an outstand-
ing figure in the world of literature, she does
not weigh heavily political and economic

Strikes and Disasters

All that brings the mining class in
| to the public eye are the oft recurring
strikes and the TOO frequent disasters
that are. passed over in the casualties
Of the daily press as something re-
grettable by the average reader but
without serious consideration of the
possible protection that might be
given the miners. This is not done to
the extent that it should be, espec-
tally in the United States as we can
learn by comparison with Great Brit
ain. The mine operators are said to
be the most backward in American in
dustry. They do less to foster good
relations between capital and labor
than any other industrial corporation.
They are not 20 be compared to rail-
road operators who spend voluntarily
millions to build up morale within
their organizations and who have
been required by Congress and by
public pressure to make the opera
lions of their trains and shops safe
for workmen as well as passengers.
Safety measures have been compul-
sorry and voluntary and continue to
progress as a matter of ultimate econ
omy and meanwhile makes strong
bid for public good will when well
executed and advertised. Mine opera
tors have kept things in their own
hands, and being greedy self-serV-
ing kind of men, have seemed to give
little care for the working conditions
of their toilers or even to the pubic
service except the cash returns:
Roosevelt termed these men the coal
Barons" which seems TO APPLY place
their mental ontlook and their bust
ness conduct back into the medieval
past, remote from present-day well
fare ideas. In strikes they can al
WAYS hold their own. They know that
when the miners families have
starved long enough to break down
their morale, that old terms will be
accepted. The people hear OF what
sounds an enormous wage demand
without considering that tx; MINER

His life is particularly hard and his
probable death is one OF the most

we can give our sympathy instead OF

!. sVa = - = - 80. W

There seems to be sort of depraV-
ity in evidence among the thrill ad-
diets or those who pore over the
criminal horrors OF front pages of the
daily press that leads them into the
most absurd and disgusting attentions
and overtures to the notorious and
ofttimes vicious persons who have
fallen into the net OF the law. Even
the foulest murderers are not with
out this condoning and admiring cir
Gle who will send letters, flowers and
proffcrs of help, with foolish women
in shameful majority. Why are they
so lenient to the offender, so indif-
ferent to the suffering of the victim
or the bereft family? The one in the
spotlight is the object OF their SYM
pathy. This bears cut the philosophy
of the verse:
"Vice is monster of such frightful
mien;
That to be hated needs but to be
seen;
Yet seen too oft, familiar with his
face,
Is first endured, then pitied, then
embraced"

The Chatham County Commission
crs publish the fact that they want a
blue flower to mingle with the gay
assortment they now have adjoining
the side of their miles of paved high
way. Along Victory Drive, in partic-
ular, blue flower would give pa
rriotic tinge to the mingling of white
and red which they get from oleanders
and crepe myrtles. We would sug-
gest hydrangea which in this section
seems quite hardy and produces a
wonderful blue blossom when planted
in the open ground though the same
plant when transplanted to Il tub or
pot gives a pink blossom every time.

SENTENCED TO PRISON
Man Who Killed Butcher He Found Plugging His Wife Gets from Three to Six Years,

Philadelphia, April SO Cf9 -- George F. Osborne, milk wagon driver, who shot and killed James r. Hartley, butcher. when Os, borne unexpectedly came home and found him embracing Mrs. Os- borne, was sentenced today to three to six years. He was convict ed several days ago of voluntary manslaughter with recommends. ton for mercy.
 The case had attracted unusual attention because seven of the jurors called to hear the case were invited to leave the jury box when they indicated their belief that R man was justified in shooting an. other in the circumstances de- scribed by Assistant District At. torney NJ. J, Speiser.
 Judge Harry S. McDevitt, in sen. fencing Osborne, said that a false theory Of the unwritten law had been shattered by a most cour- ageous Jury. The court realized. the judge said, that Osborne's wife had been unfaithful to him, but that did not give him the right to take human life.
