PHILOSOPHERS

increasingly technical civilization are

Today / unearthed from my files a
clipping from the Nation OF 1919 that

ers OF this column
THE trainers OF our Federal Consti-
tuition could not foresee the develop

They could not foresee the shifting
OF the actual seat Of Government from
executive chambers and legislative halls
to banks. stock exchanges. schools and
newspaper Offices.

remain fundamentally unchanged.
over against these new economic
forms. exercising the real governmental
functions of modern society. has grown
up in the industrial field a system Of
organized check and protest, the in
visible opposition, as 1t were.
This is the political significance of
the organization OF the workers every
where during the rapid rise of indus
trialism. They recognized the necessity
OF an economic opposition, the made
quacy of the old political forms to fur
nish a proper check on the new govern
mental functions (being exercised by
forces outside the Government).
If the cid political forms could have
been made flexible enough to encom-
pass the new economic order, all would
have been well. But those in
control were too selfish or too blind TO
render the political machinery flexible,
to make the invisible Government viSi-
Bile and responsible Government, I"
and thus they brought about
fatal division between our political
activities and the life processes of our
society"
The vast new forces of our technical
civilization could be made a mainstay
instead Of menace to popular Govern
ment, but this happy end will never be
attained until we act upon a radically
new philosophy OF politics and industry.
We are today facing a challenge to
make changes in our Government that
will affect the lives OF our descendants
as profoundly as the establishment of
our Government affected the lives of
our ancestors.
And 1t will be In the detailed meeting
OF this challenge that the next creative
political movement in the United States
will come to life.

Man VS.. Sea Lion.

Again the supremacy Of the animal
man, has been demonstrated. A Ger
man swimmer, In the confines OF q
small pool, outswims California sea
lion. his pet, establishing world record
for continuous swimming.
The pet sea lion. after 10 hours in
the water, calmly went to sleep. but
was reused by meal of herring and
managed to swim beside his human
friend for AZ hours. The man stuck 1t
out for 4 hours more.
Physicians said that the swimmer
had to give up because Of nervous
rather than muscular exhaustion. Il
was sorry had to give up" said the
new world champion, but was barely
conscious because OF lack Of sleep and
could not see where l was going"
The sea lion. not being able to hold
any goal before his eyes. must have
been wondering what 1t was all about,
but stuck to his friend gamely. The
mans swim. of course. constitutes a
record, striking example OF persist
ency.
Yet some will wonder, with the sea
lion. what 1t was all about and just ex-
actly what is shown, one way or another.

facts that a man swan as hours with

restoration to state Judges Of the dig
nifty and Importance now enjoyed by
those who preside In the Federal courts.
1t Is In view OF these facts that the
recent action Of the Senate In quietly
passing Senate Bill No. 1904 comes rs
distinct shock to those who contem-
plate with growing concern our national
crime records. This bill, which makes
II a reversible error for trial Judge In
the Federal courts to comment upon
the evidence and requires him to charge
the jury before argument by counsel
unless the state practice permits a
charge after argument. is the diametric
opposite to the course which has been
so strongly urged as wise step to meet
existing crime conditions.
The bill, II 1t becomes law, will re-
duce the Federal courts to the level Of
the State courts rather than lift the
latter to the dignity Of the former. II
is in obvious disharmony with consti.
tutional definition Of jury trial It's pas
sage cannot but make still more difficuiv
the melting out of genuine justice to
the American criminal. II Is a back
ward rather than a forward step in the
quest for that type of justice which

Phone Wires Protected.
Large Percentage Underground
Assures Service In Storms.

To the Editor OF The Star:
have noted with a good deal of
interest an editorial which appeared in
The Evening Star April 7. Weather and
Wires" In this editorial reference was
made to the lack OF communication at
the inauguration of President Taft in
1909, due TO the blizzard which wrecked
the poles and wire system of the tele-
phone and telegraph companies.
You might be interested in knowing
that as a result of this storm telephone
officials began Immediately to devise
ways and means of protecting the tele-
phone system serving the Capital of the
United States from a recurrence OF this
kind. Shortly after the storm in queS-
ton plans were started to construct an
underground telephone cable system
from Washington to Baltimore. Phila-
delphia, New York and Boston. Work
was started in 1910. and the first cables
were ready for service early in 1912.
On March l of that year an under
ground cable system, which is practi-
cally stormproof, connecting Washing
ton and Baltimore, was placed in opera
ton. Soon after this underground ca
bles were connected with Philadelphia,
New York and Boston, which gives
Washington practically uninterrupted
n.
a long distance telephone cable was ex-
tended from New York to Chicago. This
cable is TIT miles in length. OF which
l44 miles are underground. In 1925 an
aerial cable was extended from Chicago
to ST. Louis. A direct Washington st.
Louis toll circuit. recently placed In
operation, is routed through this cable,
and every day calls from this cit, 10
st. Louis and the West are made
through this combined underground and
aerial cable system
Within the past few months an aerial
Stormproof toll cable has been placed in
operation 10 the South. connecting
Fredericksburg. Richmond and Peters
burg with the National Capital This
cable, which will in the next few years
reach Atlanta. Is now in course of con-
struction between Petersburg, Va, and
Greensboro, N. c.
Telephone service in the District Of
Columbia Is furnished almost exclu-
sively through cable. A late report
shows total of 535,i75 miles of tele-
phone wire OF this amount 993 is In
cable and more than 81 per cent : In
underground cable.
On January % this city was visited
by a severe SnowStorm. accompanied by
high winds. The snow was dry, il Is
true. and was totally unlike the wet
snow OF March 8 and 4. 1909. but only
IL of the l44.00o telephones were in
