ENGLAND agreed that in the
division of Africa, Italy should be
given Abyssinia, but it looks
amazingly as if the native kings
believed that they had a right to
some say in the matter of the dis
position to be made of their own
country. Has England yet to
learn that she cannot speak for the
world? If so, perhaps the recent
terrible slaughter of Italians in
Abyssinia may emphasize the need
ed lesson. The native rulers are
not fond of protectorates, and are
firm believers in the divine right
OF. kings. The King of Abyssinia,
whose forces SO lately overwhelm-
ingly defeated the Italians, was i'm
PEELED by his desire to rescue his
kingdom from an obnoxious pro-
tectorate. Menelik is At years old
and has ruled in Abyssinia since
the death of King John, seven
years ago. We read Of him that
he claims that he is direct des-
cendant of the Queen of Sheba and
and that his realm is the famous
Ophir of the scriptures. However
that may be, his kingdom is very
rich in gold and luxuriant in veg
citation, and he has proved himself
to be, though the son Of a king
and beggar girl, to be a ruler Of
no mean ability. His people num-
ber, about three millions. The end

EDISON AS ASMODEUs.

By preference plain and prac
tlcal man of science, Mr.. Edison
has been forced by his remarkable
discoveries into a role which must
often be distasteful to him, but
which the newspaper reporters
now force upon him without
mercy. This is the role of ma
gician. Since the invention of the
phonograph he has been quite un-
able to escape it. If he had been
wise enough to stop with the cleo
trio light, or even with the tele-
phone, he might have ended his
days as man Of science; but the
phonograph undid him. 1t was
superhuman.
When the kinetoscope followed,
Mr.. Edison assumed even more the
aspect of a Maglco Prodigioso; but
now that the X rays are throbblng
among us, the wizard of Menlo
Park stands a demon confessed.
For he is proposing to do just
what lie Sage's Asmodeus, the
Devil on Two Sticks, did in Spain
200 years ago, show us the inside
of peoples houses. 1t is true that
Mr.. Edison is not so much con-
cerned to draw satirical morals as
Asmodeus was, but who knows
how long it will be before he
comes to that? Once he gains the
ability to penetrate brick walls
with the X rays and discover the
action of the people behind them
the appetite for moralIzlng will
arise.
Of course Mr.. Edison will say
that such a detective use of the X
rays would be chiefly valuable as
preventive against burglars and
other intrundrs. But when you
say other intruders you include
lovers, and thus you go on to al
most any extent. No, the Wiz
ard is on the road to terrible
power over US all. Without doubt
he would use this power kindly,
but it must always be remembered
that he has the newspaper report
ers back Of him.
There is one chance for the por-
ton of society which would have
most to fear from introspection.
So far Mr.. Edison has only been
able to see through eight inches of
oak. 1t is just possible that before
he develops the X rays to their
fullest extent something may dis
tract his attention from them.
What 1t may be it were idle to
surmise. No man can foretell the
next scientific discovery. But sup
pose, for instance, that the secret
spontaneous generation were to be
discovered-good gracious, Mr..
Edison would start in to work to
make Presidents.

PROGRESSIVE ARIZONA.

Under the head Of progressive
Arizona" the San Francisco Cal
says of its southeastern neighbor
"The report made by Charles f
Hoff in a Call interview concerning
affairs in Arizona is highly encour.
aging. Under the stimulus of a
prosperous year for cattle, an OK.
tension of irrigation and the devel-
opment of numerous gold mines,
the cities of Tucson, Phenix and
Prescott are eager to make the
improvements which shall put
them abreast of modern cities, and
for this purpose are appealing to
Congress for permission to issue
bonds each to the amount of $780,
900. Naturally these progress
i've people chafe under the cumber
some territorial regulations which
require them to seek authorization
from Congress for the performance
of acts, the value Of whiCe they
alone are competent to Judge, and
accordingly are moved to secure
lrws which will permit them the
exercisds of wider liberty of
action.
"The interests of California are
so closely identified with those of
Arizona that nearer relation than
has heretofore existed should be
established, and the influence of
California's delegation in Congress
should be thrown into the scale
with Arizona's needs. Unlike
every other state or territory of
the great west not bordering on
the ocean, Arizona has no noun
tain barrier separating it from the
coast. 1t is naturally a part of
California, being very simular in
climate and other conditions to
southern Californa. Under a
higher state of development it
would be in position to command
the commercial facilities of the
Pacific both by land across Cali
fornia and down the lower reaches
of the Colorado river to the Gulf
of California.
"The development Of Arizona
would mean a draft upon California
for some of our most valuable
products, including lumber and
bituminous rock. 1t would have
the further effect of creating a
local rail traffic which would tend
to reduce the overland transporta
ton charges with which California
is burdened. Being convenient to
Mexico, the territory is in a posi-
tion to establish commercial re-
lations with that republic which
would be valuable to our entire
nation.
"California and Arizona present
the best opportunities in America
tor the investment of capital in the
development of rich native resour-
ces. While our state is much bet
ter known, Arizona, with all it's
wealth of soil and minerals, is prac-
tcally an undiscovered country,
its development, rapid as it has
been in recent years, notnearly APP
preaching the volumn of it's native
wealth. 1t can produce many of
the fine products which have
given California it's fame. It's
is wonderful healtnful and
It lies convenient to the markets of
Mexico and the southern states"
