raUBSDAY. JANUAHY 7.1 IWl %’s On %s l£)ay, by a; B. CHAPIN / MIRACLE I heard the young king who w««, for 347 days, .king-emperor, of the greatest nation of the world, say fare well to his subjects as he resigned the throne of the British empire. So did the whole wbrld. It was a touch ing climax to a world-stirring episode. In the life of no one now living has such a dramatic and history-making event ever occurred as the abdication of Edward VII1. The miracle, to me, was not that the greatest king in the world should " give up his'throne for the love of a woman. Men of all ranks have sacri-- ficed power and glory for the love of. women, since the world began. The i miracle wtis ^hat we, everybody in the world w’ith acce.ss to a ra<lio re ceiver, actually heard his words of “leave-taking, though we were half a world away. No historian of the future will be able to get away with a gar bled rei>ort of what was, to me, as pathetic an incident as I have ever known in real life. The whole world h^ard him. Only the mididle-aged and elderly can quite realize what a miracle the radio is. HANDWRITING—By Wire A few days ago I was in the office of-the. president of the Western Union Telegraph company. Mr. White-show ed me the latest miracle of the wires. It is not yet in general use, but soon will be. ft is an invention by which a telegram can be sent in the sender’s own handwriting. I wrote a message to'"a friend, which was transmitted be tween Buffalo and New York. The old joke about the woman who got her first telegram from 'her son rather lo.ses its point. She was sure be didn’t send it because it wasn’t in his handwriting. — ^ There are limitless possibilities in this method of telegraphy. It insures against errors in transmission for one thing. Eventually sign^res to legal documents may be ^cepted as valid even when the signer is 3,000 miles away. Editor Dorrqh County ./ 'County Auditor S.
