QUITE AN EVENT
It must have been quite an event
last week when Thomas A. Edison
paid an informal but expected vi3lt
to the enormous plant of the General
Electric Company, at Sebnectady,
V. Mr. Edison went back to his first
workshop, the place where he started
the experiments and the practical
manufacture of the Invention that has
practically revolutionized electrical
thought and activity throughout the
world.
Forty-three years ago he Invented
the incandescent light bulb. This in-
ition has been the iultial step

saw things that no man dreamed
he brought the first
light into being, things that the woTld
mot well believe today, even though
ny of them have been practically

tion. In the application of elec-
• energy, which was his invention,
greatest of modern times, he wit-
itrations that opened even his eyes,
his first visit, in twenty-five years
to this shop in which he worked. With
him were some of the men. who plied
their trade along beside him in the
eighties, now as old as he is in
vice, but still developing with thi
vancements of the science and still
keenly keyed up to the great possibill-
ies that exist for the future.

advancement in any science commen

Edison first invented the Incandescent

SOMETHING TO WORRY ABOUT
Is Ohio really in the doubtful col

quite seriously in that good old Buck-

who is now President. About two
years ago Mr. Harding’s plurality

Now it seems quite possible that tl
d machine is doomed to a close sba’
not actual defeat. Harding himself
is been called Into action and he
is sent such highpowered talkers

navy and the secretary of state. He

NEITHER, 8TRENGTH NOR FORCE
Tbe memoirs of the German kaiser
at was. have not been particularly
enlightening; certainly they contain
ipecial means of Justification of his
rse during or preceding the war.
The New York Times, which was one
newspapers in this country to
publish these memoirs, states In a re
cent Issue that subscribers have quit
the paper during the time of Its ap
pearance.
It might aeem quite possible that
tbe friends of tbe kaiaer, those who
still believe in him, would be disap

that would give publicity to a docu
ment which so thoroughly brands him
as a perverter of known history,
cealer of known facts and an ignorer
of issues that were pertinent to the
most Interesting period ot his career
from a personal standpoint.
Yet it happens to be the reverse.
Those who still hate the kaiaer to
gether with the things he stood tor,
and attempted to put into execution
are seemingly afraid that he might

AN UNUSUAL CA8E
Many reputable and thoroughly
I newspapers are giving uni
publicity to the Hail-Mills murder
•ry at New Brunswick. They ha’
been severely criticised for the s
thought yellow streak by some, at
commended by others as furnishing
ice and conjecture on a mystery
us all the glamor of a rea
tective story, or some thoroughly
plausible modern novel.
Up to now the investigation hai
been without any of the nauseous
stuff that usually crops up. The illicit
love affairs of the couple have been
held in the background, as much as
possible, and tbe treaties have been
developed along the purely conjectural
line of motive and identity of the
criminal or criminals, who perpetrat
ed the murder.
a most interesting case, most
ot which will be lost as soon as the
identity of the criminals is definitely
established. Should there still be only
circumstantial evidence, and It rather
weak in some links of tbe chain, the
Interest will mount as the trial pro
gresses, rather than die down, as Is
usually the esse when a mystery hat
been solved. In any event, It is an
international sensation and posaeases
many elements that would make a de
tective story writer green with envy.

EXPANDING THE JURY SYSTEM
In New York City a new projection
of the idea of trial by Jury haa been
for a time in operation. There playi
are put on trial and by a selected Jury
found Innocent or badness or guilty ot
evil. The plan was agreed to by all
parties likely to be affected; It has i
been, like some of the censorships,
form of government without tbe o
sent of tbe governed. A selected Jury
list was made up ot actora, lawyers,
authors, critics, clergymen, and oth
ers; from this box twelve Jurors are
drawn upon occasion—and the “play"
la properly “tried” and a verdict la re
turned—either convicting it of rotten-
nets or overt evil, or else clearing and
exonerating It There must be accu
