may In the end be measured by Impartial Judges,
his limitless command of the enthuslastlo devo

Without depreciating what was accomplished
before his accession, the Germany of today.

William B. Prescott's Work.
William B. Prescott is dead at Chicago. This
will not mean a great deal to the public at
arge, but to those engaged in the printing and
publishing business, and to the close student of
the economic history of our country, it means
the passing of a man of uncommon ability ant
great service. Mr. Prescott was a labor leader
of the type whose deeds were seldom recorded
on the front page of a newspaper, but who mod
estly wrought for the advancement of ths
worker and the development of a better under-
standing between employer and employed. He
was president of the International Typographi
cal union at the most critical period of its his
tory, when the Mergenthalcr typesetting ma
chine was coming into general use, and It was
bis determined stand that prevented the printers
from repeating the mistake often made by labor
in the past, that of opposing the advance in
methods of the Industry. He also pioneered the
way for the adoption of the arbitration agree
ment that has done so much to establish and
preserve peace between the newspaper publish
ers and the printers. In other ways he con
tributed to the development of the great union
of which he was executive head, and since his
retirement from office has served his craft well
as chairman of the supplemental training work
carried on by the union. A modest man, and
genial, withal, Mr. Prescott was the kind of labor
leader who really does good in the world.
A Lccturo on Swearing
Preparedness Not a Party Issue.
Congressman Mann of Illinois, republican
floor leader in the present congress, has fairly
stated the case for preparedness so far as it po
litical bearings are concerned. It is not a par
tisan, but a patriotic undertaking. The awak
ening of the country to its defenseless condition
n accompanied by the impulse to provide proper
means for the defense of the homes and the In
stitutions of the nation. . Dreams of enduring
universal peace have been completely dispelled,
and the recognition of certain unpleasant truths
emphasise the necessity for speedy and definite
action in the way of preparation for what may
occur. The great question to be determined now
is bow far and by what means shall we proceed
In rectifying a mistake. Discussion of this phase
of the question has proceeded to a point where
speedily crystallisation of opinion will produce a
definite plan, but as to Its necessity no political
division exists.

one of taate, of propriety, of education. If It were a
morel question It would merely be the taking of the
name of the Deity In vein. Not 1 In 1.000 who uttera
an expletive or en oath hae the meaning of It In Ma
heart.
"The profanity I apeak of does not Indicate a laxity
of morels, but rather a dlaeaee of the vocabulary. The
Encyclopedia Rrtttanlca, aaya 'oatha ere promise mad,
under e nonhuman penalty of sanction.' As a matter
of fact, that oovers only one-third of the ground; oaths
divide themselvee Into three claaaes: First, the as
aeverattve; second, the denunciatory; third, the Inter
jections!. There you have your three great groups.
All three hare their counterparts In the everyday pro
fanity of our beat people. If you were aaked If you
went to church last Sunday you might say, If you
were Irish, 1 did, begorra;' or If you were a cockney,
I did a"elp me.' 8lr Toby Belch aald, 'It comes to
paaa oft that a terrible oeth with a swaggering accent
aharply twanged off. gives man more approbation than
ever proof Itaelf would have earned him.'
"In the denunciatory group are Included some great
end worthy oaths. Washington facing the trator, Lee.
Farragut braving the rebel torpedoee, are examples of
the moat righteous outbursts In thla class. But, after
all, the group Is swerved from a more nobis purpoee
to be a cheap substitute for deeds. It Is eaaler to drat
a situation than to face U.
"Now I come to the third, the interiectlonal group,
with the ejaculations 'Jove,' 'gee whit,' 'gosh,' 'golly.'
'gorry and so on. Most of these were once aaaevera
tlva or denunciatory, but time has worn away their
harpneaa. Of two ancient Romans, watching the
awful performances of Veauvtua, one might properly
say, 'O Jove, look Into my heart and read my thoughta
on thla grandeur, which t cannot express,' and the
other might call on the Gemini, the heavenly twin",
to give like expreaaion to hie unutterable thought.
But their deacendanta stand In the same place, and
what do they sayT 'By Jove!' and 'Olmlny, ain't it
grand!'

Adopting Republican Doctrine.
Slowly but surely Ephralra I being weaned
from bia Idols, and the democrats are abandon
ing the dogma of the father of that supposedly
unchangeable party, President Wilson now an
nounces himself a committed to the policy of
dealing with the tariff through a permanent
nonpartisan board, charged with the duty of
making full inquiry, collecting information, and
formulating schedules. This Is exactly the plan
adopted by the republican, under the last ad
ministration of that party. It waa then violently
attacked by the democrats, who, on coming to
power, tore up the Payne-Aldrich bill, framed on
the report and recommendations of a tariff
commission, and substituted the Underwood bill,
which haa failed in every particular. The demo
crat also destroyed the tariff commission, by re
fusing to make appropriation for Its continuance.
Experience still keeps school at the same old
stand, and the tuition fee are as high as ever.
It Is, however, encouraging to note that the
democrats who have been attending classes there
are showing sign of having learned something.

Simple, Oh, So Simple.
NORTH LOUP. Neb.. Jan. 26. To the
Editor of The Bee: I might describe the
shell of which a ujte appeared In The
Bee a few weeks ago. The object Is to
get the greatest amount of the highest
explosive known to chemical science
within a shell which may be fired from
the high-powered guns. Vou ask how this
may be done, knowing that tha very high
explosives are so very sensitive to vibra
tion. The real problem was to arrange
the mechanical part of It to a simplicity.
I have done a great deal of work on the
design to arrange tbe parts and reduce
the parts to four or five pieces which
will stand the shock ef the gunfire. The
shell Is to be arranged Into as many
separate compartments running tha full
length of it as there are elements com
posing the explosive. In the center Is a
small barrel an inch In diameter, run
ning parallel. Within thla barrel la an
auger, either end running through wooden
pistons which close the ports of the com
partments to the barrel. This auger.
when It begins Us rapid movement after
tha discharge of the ahell, by a time fuse,
draws the pistons off from the ports,
forming a bearing for the ends of the
auger. This Is effected by a tight and
left thread on the ends of the auger. A.
liquid explosive Is to be used. It Is gen
erally known that the elements of nitro
glycerine and other high explosives are
harmless until they are combined. Those
elements are run Into the ahell from the
side and plugged. The elements are not
put in until the shell Is to ba uad.
Two or three minutes after the ahell la
discharged the auger begins the rapid
movement and draws the chemical ele
ments through tbe barrel and back
through compartments. This gives a thor
ough mixture within thirty minutes. The
rear of the shell has still another com
partment, which is set Into the mala part
by pressure and welded. This Utter part
Is again divided Into small compartment
for tbe fusee, dry batteries and the small
dynamo, which Is located In the center
and made a part ef the auger. There la
also a compartment for a small charge
of powder, which Is discharged by the
time fusee. After the combination of the
elements. The back pert of the shell Is
so arranged that the shock of the gun
does not affect It It Is all controlled by
double or triple fuses. The parts may
be cast and the central barrel reamed.
The mechanical parts would not coot
110, and so arranged that the shock of
the gunfire should not disturb them. A
twenty-Inch shell ahould carry from
twrnty to thirty gallons of the hlehest
explosive known to chemical science. The
dynamo remains locked until released by
the fuse. The latter compartments are
aesMMe, being round and loneitudlnal.
This gives plenty of strength when cov
ered with caps, that the discharge of the
gun will not break through. This Is a
general description only. The object of
the shell is to lift a fortification about a
mile lilsh, with no respect as to wherj
It will alleht. The ahell may be made to
carry twenty miles. The construction Is

realm.
Black though the night upon the win
nowed wave.
Rebellious though all frightened spirits
rave
I like to think that all these prophets
passed
To reglona ready for their visions vast!
I like to think that music there Is heard.
Such ss our tiny hsnda have never
stirred
A avmphony that rings upon the ear
As mighty as the clang of sphere on
sphere,
A harmony by Thor-llke hammers
wrought.
Timed by the throbbing metronome of
Thought)
Creating masterpieces for the universe.
In which the dreams of ages they Im
merse, t'ntll the planetary pulso will bring
To earth some echo of the song they sing!
I like to think that listening dreamers
here
Will catch some message from that ring
ing sphere.
However faintly, yet will weave It In.
An anthem loud shove the Idle din.
t'ntll all men will hear Its beat In awe
And nearer to world unison will draw.
The moving word will point the path to
peace
And all the urge of armament will cease.
While nations will forget their warning
hate
And fabrics, hitherto undreamed, create!
