A REACTIONIST.
Henry Ford publishes a magazine
each nioti ( ti to tit inuiljiti" tin' selling
inn-rests of his machines. Tho lank
issue carries a story or a man who
decided S2 .wars ago that there was
nothing remained to lit' patented. Ho
was a worker in tin- patent office and
as lie measured the progress of the
world he must resign his situation
anil net liim a jnh that would las.'.
The story as told is worth the
reading. Here it is:
"A man who had worked for many
years in the 1'. S. patent office.
Washington nil industrious cautious
unimaginative individual decided he'd
resign. His was a lire-job. His chief
was atnn.ed and iiestioned him. No
tlie pent If man was perfectly satis-
lied with his salary. No lie wasn't
working too hard. No- no trouble
with anybody. Here was his reason:
He'd thought it over and decided that
everything patentable had been pat-
ented. No more inventions In vol-
ume were possible. The department
had no future. So he thought it dis-
cretion to net out and find a stoady
job -"with a fill tiro."
"And that was in 1S33.
"True- the man bad no vision.
True - he was a dolt. Think of the
inventions that have Hooded the pat-
ent office in the last S2 years yes
the last ten years.
"No doubt that cautious man found
bis "stea'dy job." a niwht watchman
or stoker or something which re-
iulred the minimum of Illumination.
That is caution none to seed and dis-
cretion run wild. That's the sort of
plodder who is trampled down and
ground into the mire In the upward
and onward rush of prom-ess. And
that is brutal but inevitable lie
doesn't succeed or even survive be-
cause he is tanned "unfit." It is a
ruthless race in which brains count
for more than brawn. Ambition conr-
nne. persistence count for much. Hut
how worthless ewn these without
Imanination to paint the picture of
the reward to enernie the body to
spur on to battle and point the way.
"What is YOl'U imanination dolus?
"Is it working overtime? Or is it
licked and telling you "to look for a
steady job'".'
"Iion't be afraid of your inianmat ion.
;ive it a lonn rope.
"Think! Think!! Think!!!"

SPIES AS THICK IN U. S. AS
THEY ARE IN EUROPE
Chicago. III.. May 17.-Speakers at
the national convention of the naval
and military order of the .Spanish-
American war today declared that the
I'nited States is as honeycombed with
spies as any Kuropeun nation.
It was asserted that in the hotels
public offices and even in the mili-
tary forces of the nation wore inform-
ants w ho kept foreign governments in
touch with American affairs. The spy
question was raised in the discussion
of a resolution by Major Kdward
Sell ul of Connecticut colling upon
public men to cease "blasting" the
reputation of the I'nited States as a
power. He said when weak points
in the country's defense were found
the proper authorities should ho no-
tified instead of the administration
being held up to ridicule.
Opponents of the resolution said the
country was so tilled with spies that
it was of no consequence what public!
speakers said about the country's
defense.

mander of the first cavalry. Illinois

ter in the sea tragedies of the Moun-

from Liverpool. Kngland. was re-

"It is not mother"
it was a rumor that Mrs. William

survived in a mental wreck known in
Liverpool as Kate Fitzgerald that
caused William Mounzey. his son-in-law.
Charles H. Lund and Mrs. Lund

HOPE TO STOP RIOTING WITH NA-
TIVE POLICE SOLDIER GUARDS
ON HAND WHEN PAY DAY
COMES AROUND.
Panama May 17.--The recent riots
between Ctiited States soldiers of the
Panama canal forces and the Pana-
ma police in both Panama and Colon
in which several on both sides have
been killed have made it necessary
for lirigadier General Clarence It- l'-d-vvards
C. S. A. commanding the Pana-
ma canal troops to establish large
permanent provost guards in both
cities. In Panama the guard is com-
posed of Company 10 Tenth infantry
Captain I-'. W. Coleman while at Co-
lon the various coast artillery com-
panies stationed at Tom Point are as-
signed to that duty in turn.
An arrangement has been made with
the Panatnau government whereby the
soldier -guards are furnished with the
regulation Pauanian police club. In
addition they wear their service re-
volvers. It is their duty to patrol all
places which the soldiers are likely
to frequent especially the tenderloin
district. Soldiers are no longer arrest-
ed by the native police. All such
cases are handled by the soldier guard.
At Panama the patrol company has
its own camp on the side of Ancon hill
only a short distance from the new ad-
ministration building and within easy
marching distance from the main part
of Panama city. A guard house is
maintained where refractory soldiers
are conlined. It is planned to build
permanent barracks for this company
the construction to begin at an early
date.
The monthly pay days usually bring
many soldiers to the cities and then
the soldier police patrols also are
largest.
RICH MAN FREED;
"POOR MAN TO JAIL'
Washington. May 17. Opposite
views of the treatment of labor in
the cot-rts were heard by the indus-
trial relations commission here Fri-
day. It was asserted on the one hand
that organized labor was fully as well
treated as organized capital before
the law. The labor leader on the
other hand voiced a drop dissatisfac-
tion with justice under which he de-
clared the "rich man goes free ami
the poor man goes to jail." Johann-
son's testimony followed that of
"Mother" Jones who told of her own
imprisonment during the Colorado
strike and instances of alleged un-
iust treatment of striking miners by
lite militia.
Reviewing the activities of the In-
ternational Iron Workers' union
which culminated in the trial of the
Mi-Nainara brothers and other union
leaders for dynamiting Johnnsen told
the commission a picturesque story of
strike methods and charged that the
use of gunmen and thugs was wide-
spread. His testimony was delivered
with much emphasis and consider-
able gesticulation.
Commission Wcinstock asked Jo-
hannsen if h' justified the use of
violence specifically referring to the
dynamiting cases.
"It may be." said the witness "the
iron workers fought back with dyna-
mite. I do not justify the killing of
any man. You talk about the twenty-
six lives lost in the Los Angeles
Times building lvtt what of the three
hundred four hundred or five hundred
men killed by the steel trust in the
metal trades? .1 say put them all in
jail."
.lohannsen will continue his testi-
mony Saturday when Clarence Harrow
ami Walter Prow are also expected to
testify.

U. S. FLEET !
SMS DEW
ITS EFFICIENCY WAS NEVER SO
HIGH AS NOW." FINEST WAR-
SHIPS AFLOAT. OFFICERS AND
MEN NOT EXCELLED.
New York .May 17. Admiral Ceo.
Dewey president of the general board
ol'the navy for the last fifteen years
sent a letter to a banquet of the of-
ficers of the Atlantic fleet here to-
night in which he said that "the ef-
ficiency of the fleet has steadily pro-
gressed and lias never been so high
as if is today." The letter was read
by Secretary Daniels.
"The people of New York have just
cause for pride in the fleet now as-
sembled in their harbor" wrote Ad-
miral Hewey. "Not only is it com-
posed of the finest and most efficient
warships that we have ever had but
it is not excelled except in size by
the fleet of any nation in the world;
our officers are as good as any and
our enlisted men are superior in train-
ing education physical development
and devotion to duty to those of any
other navy. As president of the gen-
eral board for the last fifteen years
I can say with absolute confidence
that the efficiency of the fleet has
steadily progressed and has never been
so high as it is today.
"However we need more physicians
more officers and more men and
should continue the wl.su policy of in-
creasing the size of our navy which
must remain our first and best line of
defense. The defense unless adequate
is impotent and adequacy is not
reached until the navy is strong
enough to meet on equal terms the
navy of the strongest possible adver-
sary." Admiral Hewey thanked the city of-
ficers of N'evv York for their hospital-
ity to the officers and men of the
fleet and expressed his regret at not
being able to be present tit the dinner.
He recalled the welcome the city gave
him when he had returned from Ma-
nila on the Olympia in 1S99 and said
that "it is a source of deep satisfac-
tion to know that the interest of our
citizens in their navy has not. dimin-
ished in the sixteen years that have
elapsed since that time.'
