You .middlé-aged folk can well, remember the hub-bub that was caused by the first “talking ma- chine.” How you did hover around the dinky little cylindrical affair and stuffed rubber tubes in your ears to listen to the magic of human voice repro- duction, even if there was a rasping and grinding like unto an old horse-power threshing machine! But it was progress, and you knew that never before in the history of mankind had it been pos- sible to “can conversation.” Time sped on and electricity was harnessed to street cars, and automobiles made a joke out of your mail order buggy—and then one day you went down to the state fair and saw a human being up in the sky playing tag with the birds. In half the space of a natural life many won- derful and awe-inspiring things have happened, but in all this strange era.of, progress nothing has trans- pired that quite so bafiles the imagination as flood- ing the air with concerts and talks hundreds of miles from their source. The Pioneer congratulates the Harding-Whaley company in being the first to reach up into the heavens and pull down entertainment for its pat- rons. Those who doubt that this can successfully be done, have something to learn. It is being done wherever the necessary apparatus can be had and the fact that “listening in” has become so popular ' that the manufacturers of zecewers and amplifying outfits are swamped w;th orders that can not be filled in six months time, emphasizes the alertness of this home company.

Asked for an explanation, one up-state official said that all he eould see was that a majority of those after the various official positions _were jobless. All that was required was a small filmg fee and with the primary law as the medium, each figured that his chances were as good as tlie other fellow. In'many cases the pie hunters are said to be absolutely without fitness.

Prominent among these panaceas are profit-sharing, employee- representation, industrial democracy, piece-rate, bonus, welfare, rigid su- ; pervision and inspection and the open shop. The application of science in discovering effective methods of stimu- lating men has been much greater than we are able to appreciate at the present time.
