Tell The World AImW Camden Camden can well affoW to follow ^ the example of other progressive cities, Thi.- town has many achievements to her. ire-lit hut sometimes it seems that we do not tell the world enough about them. ' Are we hiding our lights under a bushel?" Are we failing to proclaim ?<ur achievements and our advantages to the world? Look around you. See Camden's churches and splendid schools, ami magnif,<-ent tourist hotels, her mode! facto/ ie.i, her public improvements, her hcau'iful homes, the peace and prosperity which prevails here. Have you t-rld the outside world ' about thi-ne things? .Just in proportion a.-, we do this, others will want to come here, arid will this town flourish and prosper. No letter should ever go out of Camden without some good word about our city. N'o visitor shou'd ever depart without feeling that he or she is leaving a really good and hospitable town. It's a job for us -our newspapers, our merchants, our professional men, and unrh of us to let others know the good points about Camden. Boosting built Atlanta, it is said. If we will I do this long en >ugh and persistently, Camden will be known throughout the length and breadth of this land. It , is worth the effort. ?B.C.S. \ Cuard is Acquitted York, Nov. .'JO.-?-Calhoun Mcknight. sei gennt of th?* York county chain gang guard, was found not guilty of the murder of Will Marquard. a white convict, by a jury today.

It has been suggested here occasionally during- several years past that a solution of the flying problem would eventually include wireless transmission of power. What men can imagine, they can do when imagination runs on sane lines. Electric waves are power and can he sent without wires. It is not too much to hope that power generated at one place on.lhe earth will be sent without, wires to another place, or sent to machines flying in ]the air. Latest, most important news is that Marconi, speaking cautiously as usual, suggests the possibilities 01 power transmission without wires as a scientific possibility, not a mere hope. There could be no greater practical scientific achievement. Reports from our big business proves that it really is big. No wonder Europe envies us. While doubting Thomases ask, "What do you think of the business outlook?" reports of great companies answer the question. In the first nine months of this year General Motors earned more than $14^,000,000, and the big United States Steel Company more tha-n $145,000,000. It is interesting to see one of the automobile organizations making bigger profits than United States Steel, biggest industrial organization in the world. In nine months. United States Steel earned more than $13 a share on five hundred millions of common stock. That was once called "thin air," it wasn't even "water." Now, with earnings "put back" it represents no j one knows how much real wealth. i he important thing, according to Stalin, Russian boss, is for Russia to! . ttet control of "reactionary labor; unions." He means especially the American Federation of Labor. American capitalists should realize! that the American Federation of Lab-! or is a great bulwark of conservatism, I and not try lg push it in the direction j of Bolshevism by any gloating overj the fact that organized labor power) is net what it once was. Chicago attacks one big problem in a big way, building the "lurgest, best jail in the world." The cost, with a court house in front to help fill the jail, will be seven and a half millions. Room for fourteen criminal courts will be built with high ceilings, and back of the court the big jail for the modern '-rime army. In view of jail breaking and the tin-! usuul energy of criminals, wouldn'fri it be a good idea to let jailers wear gas masks, and install in corridors and in the main office valves that^ when opened, would flood the jail with some convincing gas of the mustard type? Nothing to kill or permanently injure the convicts, of course, but strong enough to take their minds off any jail breaking plan. Forty odd years ago, Edison, now eighty-four, was personally superintending the installation of a small electric lighting plant in "Harry Hill's" on Houston street, New York, where John L. Sullivan used to box. He probably did not think that he would live to see electric light and power develop into a business of seven thousand five hundred millions of dollars. And that is only the beginning. Insull in Chicago, Williams in New York, and the great electric companies on the Pacific coast -are constructing power plants of hundreds of thousands of horsepower. Ail the goblins in the world seemed to bo let loose when talk came of gigantic tariff reductions, and" Wall' street beat its breast. But President Coolidge and Secre-, tar j* Mellon let it be known that they i will do all they can to co-operate in ( tariff reduction, but not American ! tariff reduction.
