We can| Perhaps find it in our hearts to doubt that Laza-| rus, being dead, lived again; but that the song of | a violin played in Edinburgh is heard in all its} sweetness in Louisville seems only common- place. And yet the miracle of radio is a useful one to We have come face to face | to be us. Useful aside from the fact that it makes the | poorest drudge on earth master of the world’s greatest music by virtue cf his possession of a useful , for a combination of fine wires and copper plates because it prepares the way, in our minds much greater miracle /that is tg come. | This new miracle that is to come is like radio in| that it cperates in ways that we seldom recognize and never understand. Mysterious waves transmit it from nation to nation, in spite of high-peaked mountains and frost bound seas; but customs offi-} cials never see it. i What is it? Nothing—and everything; the stead- ily growing, ever-rising sense of the brotherhood of man and the unity cf human peopl , It has been centuries on the way. Sometim going has been hard, and for generations the inv ble waves of sympathy between man and man have seemed dead; but at other times they flow in mighty floods, that send a bastille toppling or drag the czar of all the Russias down to everylasting oblivion, The crackle of muskets cn Bunker Hill sent them throbbing across the Atlantic; Garibaldi! put new vigor intu them; the rope that hanged ‘old John Brown gave them an extra pulse of life. And always, bit by bit, the force of these waves | increases. Dimly, and little by little, we come to} realize that kindness and neighborliness and toler- ance will yet lap the whole earth and give us peace, harmony and happiness without limit. It may be still a dream, but it is a dream that will come true. This is our new miracle the slow, steady spread of those waves of human understanding and | brotherhocd. Before it the radio pales to a thing fit for children. The other mar of our inventiv skill—the great machines, tha cunningly devised instruments, the shining towers and the soaring airplanes—they also are insignificant. For if we hope greatly, and endure freatly, anJ love greatly—we knew that some day this w old earth will become, in very truth, the heaven that we have visioned it, and will go spinning down the corridors cf limitless space with « chorus of laughter and song as answer for the distant twinkling of a million kindly stars. < Two Burials 2 The newspapers the other ~. stories, side by side. ~ One story told about the death and burial of Ping Pong, a Pekingese dog. The other told of the death and burial cf Rosetta Felig, a little girl who lived in a tenement in New York’s slums. Both were 11 years old. The dog, owned by 4 “ich New York woman, had lived a life of luxury. The girl had lived a life of poverty. The dog got an ¢laborate funeral and a costly grave—total ex- pense, $1500. The girl got the cheapest of fu- . nerals:and a free grave—total expense, $38. When. Ping Pong took sick hundreds cf dollars a Were spent to restore his health. When Rosetta took ‘sick there was 'no doctor, and she could not be taken to the country for fresh air and good food.) That’s all there is to the two stories. But some- iow, a8 you read them, you stop to thmk — and ‘wonder. e Now the woman who owned the dog. can't be blamed for spending lots of money cn it. Dogs are lovable little pets, and she was only following a day printed two But—what is the matter with our society when such things can happen?

Editorial Comment A Strong Case For the Boy Scouts a (Duluth Herald) Judge Arnold of the Chicago juvenile court pre- sents about as strong an argument for supporting {the Boy Scout movement as anybedy has produced} ¥°Ur Steat philanthrop He s. that he has dealt in court with thirty- five thousand boys, and that only ten of them were Boy Scouts. That will net surprise those who are familiar with what the Boy Scout movement is trying to do. Indeed, the only thing about it that wifl surprise them is that even ten out of thirty-five thousand were Boy Scouts. The boys that come before a juvenile court as a rule are boys that have got into trouble that ran all the way from rather serious mischief to crime. A good many of these boys—nearly all of them, deed—got into this trouble because their boyish encrgy had not been directed ints right activities. Boy Scouts do not often get into juvenile courts because they are being taught more interesting: things to do than the things that get boys into trouble, eded Radio Legislation (New York Herald Tribune) “The bill intrdduced by Representative White of Maine, for Federal regulation of radio communi- cation, to supplant the insufficient law Qf 1912, is substantially such a measure as the recent radio conference recommended. It provides the control in the public interest sought by the department of commerce and accepted, even welcomed, by the radio industry. La % The congestion in broadcasting is Sceretary Hoovey’s reason for urging this legislation. Au- thoritative control of traffic on the radio highway is essential, as he-says, “if we wish te prevent chaos in radio communication, especially broadcasting.” This control’ is. directly established in the Whi bill by intrusting to the secretary of commerce the power to grant permits for the constructicn of transmitting stations, "to license them for five-year periods, subject to renewal, and .to revoke license for cause. Operating regulations to prevent inter- ference, etc., are to be within his jurisdiction, He is to have a hand sufficiently free to impose neces- sary limitations, The proposed law dues not, however, confer auto- eratic power upon the secretary of commerce. Dill grants the right of appeal from his deci as to construction permits, licenses and revocations to the court of appeals of the District cf Columbia. He may, if ‘hé chooses, refer to the national radio commission of.nine members, which the bill creates, any matters within his province under the act, the decision of the commissicn to be binding upon him bug subject to the same right of: appeal as from his own’ decisions.
