Long; Distance Wireless Telephony.
Another wonder lian been transferred from
Ihe laboratory to the biicy world of affairs, the
wireless telephone being, the latest addition to
he list of accomplished facts. A test talk acroHS
the wide continent has demonstrated the feasi
bility of the devlrp, end Its adaptability Is now
only a question of detail. The possibility of
this achievement has long been known to elec
trical engineers, who have patiently studied and
finally mastered the problems Involved, till the
wonder t now complete. Man Is still mystified
by the mechanism of the telephone In dally use,
but the wizardry of the wires Is now surpassed
by the magic of the wireless, and the voice is
carried over limitless space by waves of energy
In obedience to laws simple In their statement,
but majestic beyond comprehension In their ap
plication. It Is another step forward In man's
subjugation of nature's forces. The light of the
electric sge Is becoming brighter, and as the
Imagination leaps forward under Its Influence,
the ambition tolls to achieve, newer use being
found for this primal energy, until no dream of
Its Rervlce seems unreasonable. America will
have quite a list of useful things to offer Europe
when the savants of the old world turn their
attention from destruction to construction, and
not the least will be the wireless telephone.
The Hidden Purpose.
Some of the wild statements In circulation
about our foreign-born population ought to be
checked up, and either proved or disproved by
official authority. One of the palpable exag
gerations that Is being passed eround Is to the
effect that "by far the larger portion of the
foreign residents of this country have retained
their allegiance to the sovereignty of their
birth," and that they hold themselves subject
to orders from their former country, to which
"large numbers have responded during the
present European war, leaving the ties, per
sonal, family and industrial, for a stronger bond
of fealty to a foreign land."
Of course, we alt know that the United
States has been a temporary abiding place for
considerable groups of aliens coming here for
seasonal work, or to stay a few years, with the
express purpose of returning. But they are
comparatively few, for the great bulk of the Im
migration to this country is ot men and women
who come here to cast their lot with us for
good. Of the foreign-born element In this
country more than a third are women and chil
dren who do not take out naturalisation papers,
but who nonetheless renounce their allegiance
to all other governments. The number of men
returning as reservists to take up arms since
the outbreak of the war ought to be accurately
ascertainable, and while we have no definite
figures, we are strong In the belief that they
are ridiculously small as against the guesses of
the alarmists.
The hidden purpose of these Imaginary fig
ures is plainly to work up sentiment for more
radical immigration restriction, when If the
whole truth were known there would be no
valid excuse for It.
Farming the Farmer Again. .
It must strike the observer as a little in
congruous that a congress of farmers, gathered
for the purpose ot considering matters of eco
nomic importance, should devote the greater
part of a day to a debate purely political and
partisan tn Its nature. While the purport ot the
resolution offered contains nothing any one
could particularly object to, the obtrusion of an
acrimonious discussion indicates that the con
vention Is apt to swerve from its prime purpose.
Interested politicians are not likely to give over
their practice of farming the farmer, and so it
is up to those here assembled, who are seriously
Intent on doing something of service to agricul
ture, to assert themselves and put an end to the
antics of chronic objecters and Interested dis
turbers. It will not be hard for the convention
to fill all its time with debates of topics vitally
Important to the farmer, and on which definite
action should be taken here. For example, the
subject of rural credits might be given a great
deal of attention without being finally disposed
of, and other easily suggested subjects are of
much greater Importance to the farmer right
now than mere political pyrotechnics.
Democracy and Protection.
President Wilson and his advisers are con
sidering methods whereby they may chloroform
the fundamental doctrine of the democratic
party that they may revivify a cardinal principle
of republicanism. The necessity of giving pro
tection to American industries has been forced
upon them by the logic of events. The ruin
wrought by free trade, though disguised as for
revenue only, present and prospective, Is too
plain to be ignored by theorists, who can plan
but not carry out those plans. It is not alone
the newer Industries established as an exigency
ot the war that must be taken care of, but
the whole list of American activities must have
support against the later efforts of Europeans
to capture the markets of the United States.
When it eventuates, as It must, a long line
of democratic ghosts will stand dismayed at
this promised departure of the president from
the time honored dogma ot his party so devoted
In the past to opposing the republican policy of
fostering American institutions. Year after year
democratic platforms have denounced protective
duties with the whole gamut ot anathema, but
never has a democratic tariff been enacted un
less followed by industrial disaster. Will an
eleventh-hour conversion of the president to the
doctrine of protection save his party from the
rebuke it has won by its Incapacltyt
The protective principle will be restored to
its full usefulness by the republicans, under
whose administration of the government Amer
ican prosperity waa made the wonder of the
world, and so strong It could withstand four
years of democratic blundering.
After fueling the pulse of several sections
of the country Vice President Marshall reports
to the White House that reasonable prepared
ness la popular. Speaker Clark expresses simi
lar sentiments. There still remains the vital
necessity of separating preparedness from pork.
The Union Pacific shows decreased earnings
for last year, but also decreased operating ex
penses. Because the road did not take in as
much money it spent f 3,000,000 less than the
preceding year, and that mouey is kept out of
the rhaoneUf if trade all along the line.
Mental Capacity of Savages
-Dr. Alfred O. Ksyar la ropnlar Sdeaoe Moathly
firplIE DIFFERENCE between the savage and the
X rlvillfed man la not one of mental capacity,
hut rather of the objects upon which that ra
pacity Is exerted. One may display as nrnrh Intelli
gence In tracking a kangaroo through tha bush as
In solving a problem In algebra. Tha trouble We'll
the savage Is that he la a slave to his own I mas. In -tlon.
Ha lives In a world of ancient customs, omens,
and portents, to which he Is a slave; and hla knowl
edge Is concerned largely with these, differing from
ours 'in kind, rather than In breadth and depth.'
"The FIJIans of today are more orderly and sober
than and quite aa Contented as are any people cf
European ancestry, and Illiteracy is rarer In FIJI than
In Massachusetts. Ton were onfer even fifteen year
ago In any part of FIJI, although yotir host knew
how you tasted, than you could h In the streeta of
any civilised city. It Is clear that In disposition the
FIJIans arc not tinlike ourselves, and only In their
tlmo-honored customs were they barbarous. Indeed
the loweat human beings are not In the far-off w licit
of Africa. Australia or New Guinea, but among the
degeneratea of our own great cities. Nor ttre thers
any characteristics of the savage, be he ever so low.
which are not retained In an appreciable degree by
the most cultured among us.
"Yet In one Important respect the savage of today
appears to differ from elvlllsod man. Civilised races
are progressive and their aystema of thought and life
are changing, but the savage prefers to remain fixed
in the culture of a long-past age, which, conserved
by the Inertia of custom and sanctified by religion,
holds him helpless In Its Inexorable gTaap. Imagina
tion rules the world, and the world to tha savage Is
dominated by a nightmare of tradition.
"Even with us evrry effort of progress engenders
a counteracting force In the community. Whether
the race he savage or rlvlllied depends chiefly upon
the nature tf the rustoma that are handed down aa
patterns upon which to mold life and thought The
more ancient the triumph of the eonservatlvea the
more primitive the culture which Is conserved, and
the more likely is it to be crude and barlarous.
"Among all races religion Is the moat potent power
to maintain tradition, and fur tha savage religion
enters Into every act and thought Yet It Is probable
that no aavage has ever been more under the dominion
of a world of omens and portents than was Louis Xt
and even today tho breaking of a mirror, or the
number thirteen or a stumble while crossing a
threshold remains of significance to many of us. All
matters of sentiment and credulity are closely wrapped
tip in thla entanglement of superstition; It la hard to
divorce ourselves from the idea that moving machines
have life and disposition.
- "The savaRe mny know nothing of our classics
and little of that which we call science, yet go with
him into the deep woods and his knowledge of tho
uses of every plant ami tree and rock around him
and his acquaintance with the habits of the animals
are a subject for constant wonder to bla civilise 1
companion. In other words, his knowledge differs
from oura In kind rather than In breadth or depth
His children are carefully and laboriously trained In
the arts of war and the chase, and above alt In the
complex ceremonial of the manners of the tribe, ami
few among us can excel In memory the priests of old
Hamoa, who could sing of the ancestors of Malletoa,
missing never a name among the hundreds back to
the far-off god Savea. whence this kindly race cam
down.
"One may display as much Intelligence In tracking
a kangaroo through the Australian bush as in aolvttig
a problem In algebia, and among ourselves It Is often
a matter of surprise to discover that men laboring In
our factories are often as gifted as are the leaders
of abstract thought within our universities. In fact,
the more we know of any claaa or race of men tha
deeper our sympathy, the leea our antagonism, and
tha higher our respect for their endeavors. When wa
say we 'cannot understand' the Japanese we signify
that we have not taken the trouble to study their
tradition.
"It la a rommon belief that the aavage la more
cruel than we, and Indeed we commonly think of him
as enraged and of ourselves in passive mood. Child
like he surely is, anil bis cruelties when Incensed are
as Inexcuaahle as the destruction of Louvaln or tha
firing of Hepoys from the guns, but are they mora
shocking than the lynching or burning of negroes at
the stake, events so common in America that even
the sensational newspapers regard them as subjects
of minor Interest?
"Clearly, despite our mighty institutions ef free-
uoni, ciiuieni svsiems or puoiio education, ana ths
uittuuuii ui iiiuuBuiius ot cur leaders to laeais or mgr.
est culture, there remain savages among us. Mere
centuries of civilisation combat the eons of the brute.
Within each and every one of us, suppressed perhaps
but always seeking to stalk forth, there lurk the dark
luata of the animal, the haunting spirit of our gorilla
ancestry. The foundations of our whole temple of
culture are sunken deep In the nil re of barbarism.
It Is thla fundamental fact which deceives us Into tlie
Impression that a few decades of contact with me a
of our omn race will suffice to civilise the aavage.
True they soon learn to simulate the manners an.1
customs of their masters, but the Imitation Is a hol
low counterfeit, no more Indicative of enlightenment
than Is the good behavior of caged convicts a guaranty
of htgh-mlndedness. To achieve civilisation, a race
must conquer Itself, each Individual must master t
aavage within him. Cultured man haa never yet civ
ilised a primitive race. Under our domination tha
savage dies, or becomes a parasite or peon."

AI.KXANIiniA, Neb., fept. . To the
Kdltor of The Bee: "Billy" Sunday's
preaching and platform performance
have occasioned many crttlclsma from
lawyers, local editors, politicians, saloon
keepers, farmers, professional knockers
and even preachers. One can not help
hut observe the manner in which these
endeavor to air up their knowledge of
the teaching of the meek and lowly Naa
aretie. It passes my comprehension how
certain people use Illm for an authority
on vital Issues, but do not exemplify Ills
principle In their dally life. Many of
these critics make awful blunders In
quoting Christ thua manifesting a lack
of accurate knowledge of His teaching.
In my opinion, a proper understanding
of the New Testament Scripture will re
veal to "Hilly" Sunday's critics that tha
Natarene did not only preach the Gospel
of peace, love, truth and righteousness,
but lie also preached with equal em
phasis the Gospel of repentance, hell and
damnation.
I wlHh to call, attention particularly to
Ilia dcnounciatlon of lawyers in Luke II;
fi-54. "Woe unto you lawyers, for ye
load men with burdens grievous to be
borne, and ye yourselves, touch not the
burdens with your fingers. Woe unto you
lawyer", for you took away the key of
knowledge; ye entered not In yourselves
and them that were entering, ye hin
dered." These few lines are not written In
defense of Mr. Sunday; he la plenty able
to defend himself. However, they are
written for the purpose of throwing a
little light upon the teaching of Christ,
from which so many writers and gllbly
tonguod orators are supposed to quote.

NORTH PLATTE, Neb, Sept. 30. To
the Editor of The Bee: In looking over
The Boe's letter box contributions from
different individuals, it is rather amusing
to hear what they have to say for and
against the Bev. "Billy" Sunday cam
palsn In Omaha. Every knock is a boost
to "Billy." He Is fearlessly preaching
the word of God and the effect reaches
far and wide.
I note quite a few letters are signed by
"Traveling Men" (applause.) Corral the
majority of these traveling men and
what have you got? I know, so do you,
gentle reader. Taken as a whole they
stand about HG per cent pure sinners, un
adulterated, too. That'e giving them a
large mnnrln to go on at that. When
you locate one who la right with God',
you'll find a flno fellow, but they are
few and far between. This 86 per cent
congregation have their own Bible, which
Is mode up of fifty-two pieces of pol
ished card board. They are so wrapped
up In sin of the most vilest kind that
they would probably rather be exiled
than to have to divulge. Let Jesus In
to ferret out that devil whom you have
been entertaining so long, brothers, and
you will all see the bright side of "Billy"
Sunday's campaign against evil and sin.
