l California, furnishes probably the
 most recent exhibit of this spirit While the whole town was in an
 uproar, the A. r. telegrapher sitting at his desk in the newspaper of- flee stayed on. As the building in which he had his desk began 10 roll and heave he opened his telegraph key and timing the shock with his watch, flashed the information 10 the other newspaper offices along the wire. As the second and third shocks occurred he timed them and sent the information on its way. His duty was to send the news without thought that the building might at any mament to come tumbling down upon his head. Later the telegraph instruments were moved to a safer position outside of the building, where an automobile battery fur nished the only light available throughout the night. The thrills he received during that short period we're sufficient to make up those of an average life time.
 Tales Of Sadness
 "The experiences of the operator at his wire are not all thrills. Many times they are filled with sadness and then there is the tug between duty and sentiment. Sometimes these men have been seated at their typewriters copying the report when suddenly confronted with news stories clicking their way over the wires regarding the deaths of mem- bers Of their own families. The most recent occurred at Schenectady where the operator was copying q story about all accident when it suddenly dawned upon him that the man referred 10 as dead was his brother. A similar experience arose at Savannah, Ga, while another A. P. telegrapher in Oklahoma receiv- ed over t,.e wire the story of the death of the postmaster in distant town. This proved to be his own father. Despite the pathetic circum- stances these men have remained at their posts until relief could be se- cured. Sometimes this has meant waiting until men could be sent from other cities, and with sorrow in their hearts they have listened 10 the click of the telegraph sound- CT through the long dreary. hours or until some one has discovered their plight and released them from fur ther duty. Newspaper editors throughout the country have deyot- ed columns of their newspapers to the loyalty Of these men.
 One Operator Blind
 "One of the most remarkable Of the band of 1900 men who form
 this telegraphic clan is totally blinC, but his plight is not without comfort. Every minute spent al the Morse instrument places this blind operator in touch with the great throbbing pulse of the universe. His chattering Morse wire forms magic tongue which in lightning fashion gives him the news of the world. Through tho pulsating tones of the clicking telegraph sounder

messages said 1t was sent from the shores of the Delaware, and that anyone confined in a shock would probably not have an opportunity to obtain use of a carrier pigeon.
 Sergeant Cunningham, in charge of the searching troopers, tele- graphed the International Fedora ton of Carrier Pigeon associations in an effort to identify the pigeon which was found at Bryn Anthyn, a Philadelphia suburb. The bird bore an identification tag with tho number if 24A-5275," and the message 1t carried was written on brown wrap ping paper, saying the writer was "held prisoner in a shack three miles above Trenton on the east side of the Delaware river" It was signed "Ward" which was taken to mean the New York bakery mag mates son, who disappeared a month ago.

 Errors Show
 Tho slightest error on the part of |any of these men was filled with the gravest of consequences. In many instances il was possible to relieve the regular men with substi- tutes, but in others the men stuck ! to their posts f~r as many as thirty hours continuously copying noth- ling but numbers. One of the strik- ling examples of endurance and . fortitudc was that of an operator in q Kansas town who remained at his typewriter from 7:3O a. m, one day until 3:30 D, m., of the next, copying these numbers under the most trying ordeal. There is nothing more tedious 10 an operator than copying numbers. To these men the the draft list was that which they received over the wire and which was afterWard printed in their local newspapers.

 The Pueblo Flood
 When the Pueblo flood wiped out many lives and destroyed mil ! lions of dollars worth of property, the on.y news available was going out over Associated Press wires from that city. After the facts had been transmitted. the A. P. tele- grapher, who had brayed the on- rushing waters. sent the following short message: "I am going 10 beat it. The water is around my feet" | It was hours afterward before com Imunication was restored. II later developed that the X. r. man had |Waded through water waist deep in order that his organization might ] give tie waiting public an eye pie lure directly from the flood area.

Operator who hurriedly left his post 1 at West Palm Beach to go forty miles to the line of skirmish where federal authorities were battling with outlaws In the everglades of 1 Florida. l-e had 10 abandon his auto and walk through six miles of undorbrush and swamp lands. with the possibility of being con- 1 fronted by the outlaws.

in practically every state in the country. One city on each circuit is an Associated Press editor in con- trol of the news and an Associated Press operator in control of the wire operation.
 q think the spirit which moti- yates the staff of the Associated Press into doing what il does can best be illustrated by an incident pouring in an Alabama courtroom. 4 fugitive from another state was sought for the killing of his wife A suspect was taken into custody at Birmingham and his complete description forwarded to Peoria, the scene of the murder.

 These are aply a few of the
 deeds | L-rformed by this staff. They form an important cog in tlie ma
 chinery of the organization. They are tha men who go to the ring side when cham pionship prize
 light is on to expedite the story and who are somet.-les drenched when
 an excited second with a bucket of water is trying to revive his fighter. 1 They are the men who try to manipulate the telegraph instru- ments out in. the open at the ball parks during a Worlds Series when others are bundled in heavy robes against the Wintry blasts or seeking
 shelter from pouring rain. These are the men to whom their daily work Is a liberal education bringing them as 1t does in touch with the various phases of finance, history, geography, science, politics, and above all else grammar, for as you probably have noticed, the gram mar contained In the news dis patches of the A. P. In your news paper is of the highest order.
 Outline of System
 Just a word in deviation to give you an outline of how the wires these men operate are worked:
 These 100000 miles of Morse wires are turned over to The Associated
 Press by the telegraph and tele-
 phone companies for it's sole use.
 In this particular locality are wires
 stretching out In four different di- rections. One of them leads from
 New York to Paterson. Newark. Jersey City, Elizabeth, Trenton and | Atlantic City. The operators on the i New Jersey wire are located In the | editorial rooms of the newspapers. An editor in the New York office takes the report as 1t comes in from the rest of the world and files 1t with the telegraph operator who sends 1t to the other operators on his wire. Upon their completing each sheet Of report it is turned over to the newspaper editor. But this wire also serves another pur- pose. If an earthquake were to oc-
 cur in one of these cities. the opera tor there would send the story on
 the wire 10 all the other points in cluding New York, and at New York 1t would be relayed 10 the other wires. You can easily see | how the newspaper in each city thus is protecting the newspapers
 in the other cities on the leased
 wire system. as The Associated
 Press service is so organized that

Radio Talk by Traffic Dept. Man Gives Glimpses Into Experiences of the Men Who Pound the Key.
(Eastern Division)

New York, June 1O.-LP.-Some of the strange experiences, pathos and thrills in the work of the tele- graph operator of The Associated Press, were told last night in a radio address over WIZ by w. J. McCambridge of the New York Traffic Depart:-ent.
 Since the beginning Of these talks cn The Associated Press you have heard various phases of the organization discussed he said. You have been informed that il IS a mutual cooperative institution made up of more than 1900 daily newspapers scattered over the length and breadth of the land and that its purpose is 10 collect and disseminate among those papers in an impartial Wy the news of the world as it occIrs day by day. You already know that approximately SS,000.000 are spent each year 10 operate it, and that it's telegraph wires reach every city of any con- sequence in this country.
 50 my talk tonight will follow different vein and take into account some of the strange experiences. pathos al 7 thrills, of the staff in the traffic end of this work. There Is another story in the experiences of the X. r. news staff. These traf- flc men are devoted to the cause of The Associated Press and enter into the spirit of the work with the feeling that their organization is giving q real service 10 mankind in conveying 10 it fairly and accurately he untarnished facts concerning the peoples of the earth.
 Is Connecting Link
 "In hundreds of cities The Asso- clated Press telegrapher is the only connecting link between the asso- citation and its newspaper members. These men form the greatest body of highly skilled telegraph operators in the world. 'any of them have copied all the important world hap renings in the last thirty-years and some of these are known to their newspaper associates as walking encyclopedias, having retained in the recesses Of their memories the things they have heard over the wires.
 Within the last few months tests have been made at colleges 10 find out the reaction on students by keeping them ivake for long periods of time. In doing this they have taken a leaf from the book of experience of A. P. staff telegraph CTS. In 1917 during the World War when the army was being filled by the draft. A. P. operators all over the country were confronted with th task of copying more than ten

After learning that 1t was he immediately freed the prisoner. There is an earnest desire on the part of 10th the members of The Associated Press stGrf and on the part of it's newspaper membership to maintain it's reputation for ac- curacy and impartiality so clearly outlined in the judges reliance Tn what it had delivered to one of its newspaper members, and these men are ever anxious to verify each A.

THE PIPE LINE PROPOSITION

Now that the prospects for securing fresh
West are brighter than they have ever been be-
fore, it behooves the progressive people of this city
and county to stand Loyalty by the water district
trustees and aid and encourage them in every way
in their well directed efforts to secure this great
convenience that has been crying necessity in
this Island City for SO many years.
News items published in this paper yesterday
indicate that the company proposing to finance the
construction and operation of the pipe line are
asking as guarantee no expense upon the
part Of the people than the project were completed
under any other plan.
This city and the other keys will no doubt
consume the amount of gallons stipulated in the
proposition, and it will be furnished them at rate
per thousand gallons that is perhaps more favor
able than is paid by citizens in many other cities
The water district trustees have voluntarily
agreed to float bond issue for the purpose of con-
structing distribution system and reservoirs for
this city, depending upon returns from the invest
ment to liquidate the issue.
Under these plans it becomes possible for
Monroe county and Key West in particular, to get
the pipe line from Homestead and the distribution
system without obligation on the city county
that is likely to call for any material outlay of
money and very probably at ALL
Circumstances could hardly be more favorable
for fresh water supply and distribution system
and the people should join heartily with the water
trustees in this great movement.

A NOTABLE FOURTH

Fourth of July this year is a notable anniver-
sary in several respects 1t is the 15Oth anniver-
sary Of the adoption of the Declaration of Inde-
pendence it is the Tooth anniversary of the deaths
of former Presidents Adams and Jefferson, it is
the birthday of President Coolidge, who was born
July 4, 1872.
Thomas jefferson who wrote the Declaration,
and John Adams, who made the principal address
in its behalf before the Continental Congress- both
became Presidents of the United States That both
of them died on July 4, 1926, exactly fifty years
after its adoption, furnishes one of the most re-
markabe condolences in history
After the establishment of the government of
the United States, Adams and jefferson were
political opponents Adams was vice. president dur
ing Washingtons two administrations. and sue
ceeded Washington as President, but was defeated
for reelection by jefferson, who became the third
President of the United States.
However antagonistic they may have been in
politics, after their retirement from public life
Adams and jefferson were close friends and main
tanned continuous correspondence for several
years. These personal letters are among the most
interesting documents of their day. Adams was
80 years of age at his death, while Jefferson was
83.
In view of the circumstances stated, July 4
not fail to impress every patriotic American.

PERILS OF BUREAUCRACY

Much is said about the perils of bureaucracy"
Many Of cur thinkers feel that there is danger that
the federal government may expand into vast
system of supervisory bureaus, the activities of
which shall extend all over the country and hamper
the people in business and private affairs.
If the people depend mostly upon the states
for action, the AZ commemorative may have so
many different ways of dealing with situations and
some Of them may be so very negligent, that the
interests of the people not cared for. And yet
the federal government is too difficult to in
fluence, so that there is doubt il its powers
should be much extended beyond its present limit.
The lawmakers of congress are unable to keep
Up with the vast task laid upon them and many sub
ieets Of great Importance go without action. And
yet If We should appoint permanent commissions to
take charge of some of these problems they may
NEEDLE with many things they do not understand
md often do more harm than good.
What the country needs now is for the az
state governments to brace up. and for the voters
Of ell these states to send their best people TO their
state legislatures and the rest Of their offices, so
that all these states shall handle the affairs Of their
citizens efficiently that there win be little
demand for additional interference from the federal
government.
The citizens Of some states feel also that there
ere too many commissions and bureaus in their own
states. and that these interfere too much with bust
ness and local affairs. But state organization
can be more easily regulated than federal one.
and i i becomes unreasonable and impractical the
citizens can EASILY make complaint Of its activities
and secure changes in its methods
