Show The Wireless 9 THERiELis a proposition on hand to place all 9 the wireless telegraphy business in govern- 9 ment control, thus to secure privacy, and i9 make sure to patrons that messages will reach 9 only those for whom they are intended. Doubtless 9 that means only the wireless which the papers tell l us of. The other, the old wireless, cannot be '9 controlled that way. When the young lady re- 9 ceives a note from "the only one," does anyone 9 know that the simple note contains the full mes- 9 sage. Not at all. That is the key only which 9 sots the real wireless to work. The young lady 9 goes to her room, she is shy even of her own 9 mother. She holds the note in her hand and then 9 the wireless comes to her soul and tells her all j9 that the note omits. What she hears is the un- 9 speakable. Could one see her he would under- (9 stand. Then she kisses the note and begins to 9 send back the reply. Only the ether can hear, :9 but anyone looking on would see her eyes dilate ,9 and sparkle, her face warms into a glow, not a 9 blush, for what she is sending is sacred and stain- $9 less as the falling snow. This is the happiest 19 work the inner wireless has to perform. 9 When the mendicant approaches and with "the l Lord bless you, kind sir," and you pass on un- 9 heeding, the wireless a moment later is whisper- 9 ing in your ear the anathemas that the beggar is 19 hurling after you. The wireless was worked overtime in the late II campaign when our Democratic friends were Jfl making prohibition speeches. What they said was 1 1 not so much, but the mental reservations which 1 1 the wireless had to take down and register 1 1 what a book they would make? 1 1 What noiseless wireless speeches the wireless mm has been forced to take down and record from K Sagamore Hill during the past three weeks, and 1 I could all the wireless messages that the soul of II the President called up on his way to the Isthmus l-l have been dynamite and hurled at the canal, nil when he reached Aspinwall he would have found m 1 M an open sea level canal a mile wide and a hundred H, fathoms deep. The wireless is the tfiggest kirid H of a thing. |
