THE TELEGRAM DEMONSTRATION.

Writing and particularly teegraphing Congress Senators has been a popular scheme To- these many years but it has reached it's height since the advent of the radio The amounts the telegraph companies must have collected since such spellbinders as Father Coughn and others have been able to go the air and call on the popuous to deuge their representatives against for some bill has run into szeabe sums. It is reported that more than 100000 telegrams were sent into Wash ington on the Patman bonus and World Court is- sues. But the champion illustration comes out of the revelation of the utility companies fight against the holding company legislation
 The power company executives reputed to have expended better than s6OOoo in the battle against the measure intended to wipe the holding companies out and in the investigation being conducted it is brought to light that in one instance agent of the power lobby sent flood of telegrams into Congress by simply copying the names out of the Warren, Pa. city directory.
 While one must admit, the agent was not lack ing in a certain amount of unusual initiative and possessed of an uncontrolled determination, the re- action shows clearly the messages far from spontaneous as these barrages of teegrams are supposed to indicate when important issue is at stake Rather in the future the Congressmen, on receiving a mass of messages will perforce to be in doubt as to whether they spontaneous sentiments the product of production methods or just plain frauds As result the value of the telegram pressure method is virtually lost. The utility companies in this instance have defeated their own ends through their propaganda excesses But lot of Congressrnen and their constituents will be hoping it is that fortunate occason-a tele- gram demonstration to end telegram demonstrations

Self-Education.
(Tacoma Ledger)

CIac0ma LedgerJ
 It cannot be questioned but that there is tre- mendous advantage in having been accorded the opportunity to acquire the higher learning provided lin college or university course that there shall he in addition to the knowledge gleaned from the books the ability to assimilae that which has been learned and to make wise application thereof. That is to say that while college course is de- sirable for the intellectual it might be worthless to one lacking in the essentials which go to make up the successful
 After all the fact that one has never had a chance to take university course need not debar him from the ranks of the intelligencia, for it is of record that some of the best educated men have not been college graduates So long as there is the desire for knowledge and the will to apply oneself there will be opportunity for becoming educated even learned.
 Carter Glass Senator from Virginia and once Secretary of the Treasury. has had confererd upon him by Yale Wesleyan Princeton, Tufts and Will
 jam and Mary universities and colleges honorary degrees and since that time three other great uni versailles have similarly honored him. But Carter Glass is not a college graduate, in fact he never spent a day a student in an institution of higher learning. Carter Glass, with ordinary common school training went into journalism and there in one of the most rigid and thorough schools he acquired such knowedge as entitled him to the designation of man of learning
 That does not mean that chance for col lege course should be sighted, for common sense will tell one that if there IS the instinct Tor learn ing combined with the will to apply oneself a course at a college would immensely simplify the matter of gaining education. The handy man with knife, ax and drawshave might with painstak- ing care, construct and ornament piece of furni- ture, but give to that proper tools and his work not only would be good or better, but valuable time and effort would be saved.
 Every body or girl will not have chance to go to college, but that does not mean that the doors of learning have been closed. Carter Glass with his eight degrees from great schools is proof that so long as there is the will to learn and the neces sary amount of industry an education may be se- Icured Naturally the process must be laborious but just the same there is no excuse for the plea that one need lack in intellectual attainments merely because conditions were unfavorable in early life.

HE'LL STAY IN MATANUSKA.

Despite reports of MatanusKa colonists return Ing to the States, we'll venture there is one family that is going to stay right the job, and that is one Fussel Pakonens and his wife formerly of Iron Mountain, Mich. Returning from a neighbor's the other evening the Pakonens found bear in front of their brand new cabin. Right then, it strikes us, was an excellent time to start for Iron Moun- tain.
 But not these pioneers. Mrs. Pakonen, true to tradition tainted. MT. Pakonen true to his wife carried her into the cabin, locked the door pect and then went to a neighbor's, borrowed a rifle and came back and shot the bear.
 This hardy coonist has crossed his Rubicon; he has shot his first Alaska bear All the trials and trbulatons which may go with pioneering will never drive him away now He'll want to stay and get another bear.

Savage lions will be thrown into the fray against the Italians by Ethiopia's fiercest warriors, the Gala tribesmen Such at least is the report which has reached Istanbul The lion is the national symbol of Ethiopia and its paws are presumably impervious to the burning chemicals with which Italy is planning to make the soil of AbysSina too hot for the native barefoot warriors
 Istanbul adds verismilitude to it's lion story by mentioning the fact that the Gallas pagans who worship trees and live raw ,hippopotamus flesh This would make them good deal like German Nazis, who also pagans and worship trees on mountain tops But instead of attacking hippopotami the Nazs beat up little storekeepers and

to be supreme master ever since he made his
debut at the age of 9. back in 1885, is ready
to testify that the great musical artists of today
as well as of the past all started early.
Liszt played in public at s. Mozart at
tapped out minuet of his own composition
and at had produced six sonatas and three
symphonies; Felix Mendelssohn at Is had
written SO movements and at Is had COM
pleted his fourth opera; Niccolo Paganini at
wrote violin compositions difficult that no
one else could play them; Haydn, Schubert,
Meyerbeer and Handel all showed their creative
birthdays.
And the same is true of our great perform
ers today. We have brilliant prodigies like
Yehudi Menuhin, who took violin lessons at 4,
was q soloist with the San Francisco Orchestra
at 6, and today at 18 forces critics and laymen
alike to gasp that he plays not only like an
angel but like a god, with perfection and true
genius.
Kreisler first appeared In public at IS; Zim-
balist at II. Paderewski gave his first concert
at and was a professor at 18; Hofmann was
taken off the stage by the Society for the
Prevention of Cruelty to Children at the age Of
IL. but was allowed to return at triumphant
recital in London when he was 18, and Vladimir
Horowitz, the superb pianist, is only % now.
Perhaps the Pitkinites will answer that
music is an art which is either born in a
human being or not. and will ask about the
scholastic world where gray matter is all inn
portant and ideas rule.
Here too, there are a good many top
nOtcherS recruited from the ranks of youth.
An outstanding example in education is Robert
Maynard Hutchins. who was called to head the
University OF Chicago In 1929 when he was 80.
