EDISON PROBABLY IN ERROR.

Mr. Edison's promise to put the au-
tomobile within the reach of every
body when the cobalt system Of
storage battery can be used, raises a
doubt whether the machine would
hold its vogue. The once popular BIZ
cycle is now almost a. curiosity on the
pike. Everybody wanted one when
the cost OF manufacture was high and
the bicycle was regarded as a luxury.
When all the world and his wife could
ride the demand fell off. Mr.. Edison
thinks that when the price of the au-
tomobile is reduced so as to place it
within the reach Of all the horse will
become a thing Of the past" Is it not
more likely that there will be a re-
action in favor Of the horse among
those who tire of the new toy New

The Sentinel is in receipt of a very
nice letter from the Republican state
central committee. which assumes that
this paper will throw open its columns
for the publication Of good wholesome
campaign matter, and wants to know
how much we can handle each week.
In other words, it wants the political
department of this newspaper turned
over to the committee to be used during
the campaign. The scheme is doubtless
a very laudable one. as it eliminates any
chance of the fool editor promulgating
any opinions of his own, but as this
paper. is run by its editors in the inter
ests Of it's patrons, who do not care to
have their opinions manufactured at
Topeka even if they do it free Of charge.
we must regretfu1ly refuse the highly
fattering offer. If there are any politf-
cal opinions to be promulgated by the

nor Secretary Miller will be- bothered to
make them for US. A boiler plate cam

Protestant churches In this country
have an average Of one clergyman for
every seven hundred and forty five
people. No doubt each clergyman has
plenty to do, and we cannot say that
any preacher Is superfuous. But when
one considers the difficulty of paying a
clergyman as good salary as a good
man deserves and needs, 1t looks as If
the economic conditions of the Protest
ant Church as q whole do not show
economic wisdom. The trouble is that

The perennial life Of the American
commonwealth is illustrated by the
revived briskness Of trade in parts Of
the Union which have been supposed
to have outlived their earlier import
ance. The paper industry Of Maine
Is the theme Of one Of the writer's in
the Review Of Reviews. Wildernegses
abandoned to hunters have been made
to yield the material for mills; these
In turn are utilizing water power which
had been running to waste for ages !;
branch railroads are reaching points
believed inaccessible; new towns are
sprtnging up and old ones are flourish.
ing. The same story comes from the
abandoned farms Of New England
Scientific methods have been introduced
through the influence Of the agricul
tural colleges. Attention has been paid
to the demand Of the cities, and those
crops are raised which pay best. A
large number Of Jews and others whose
wits have been sharpened by life in the
big cities have taken to farming, and
none Of their land is wasted. They
know better than any one what the
cities want, and through the acqua1nt-
ance they have with the cities they
can ship their produce direct to the
retailer and cut off the middleman's
profits. The tread Of population to the
cities does not mean any d1minution
in the agricultural wealth Of the coun-
try. Improved appliances and meth
DDS make it possible for q smaller num-
Der Of men to raise equally large crops.
Where the farmer Of English descent
dies, and his sons are established In
is sold for low price, the newcomer
to America finds his opportunity. Liv-
ing in an economical way, with large
family Of children to help him, he can
acquire wealth from the land which
yielded its former owner only bare
subsistence. In many cases it is the
rich city business man who buys the
farm for summer home for his fam
lily, and thus stimulates trade in the
village. Farther west the story is re-
peated. The land is utilized in way
that was impossible generation ago.
Swamps are drained, deserts are 1rrl-
gated, land that was worthless when
the population was small and better
could be had for the asking Is taken
in hand and improved now that the
better land is occupied and the increase
in population and number Of the cities
provides a market worth catering to.
The soil Is analysed and experts advise
as to it's use. Trolley lines and farm
telephones bring the farmer into con-
tact with the world. The older States
are far from dead, the newer ones are
more alive than ever. Electricity and
applied chemistry are working as great
marvels outside of the great cities as
in them, and no part Of the union is
excluded from the benefits Of the new
century.

WHERE FADs ARE USEFUL.
Variety and Change in Daily Rou-
tine an Aid to Longevity.

One Of the professors in the Uniyer-
sity of Nebraska claims that the Amer
lean people are running too much to
fads He says they are wearing them
selves out either chasing after phys
ical culture, golf tennis, automobiling,
massage, diet, baths, ETC. He demon
mates these things as fads The person
gets interested in one or more Of them
and spends great deal of time and
energy pursuing them.
No doubt person can run a thing
into the ground and make it harm
full, even though of itself it be a good
thing. But we believe that every per-
son should have at least one side issue
or fad from his regular vocation.
After one gives SO much time every
day to the routine of work, to turn
aside for while and take up golf1ng,
tennis, or physical culture, or other
outdoor sport, Is restful and beneficial.

Cumbersome business methods may
destroy empires and undo the work of
heroes. Everywhere the man who
wants to get something done by gov
eminent is crying Red tape! Red
tape" President Roosevelt's endeav-
ors to simplify the machinery Of the
great departmental offices at Washing
ton might benefit the nation more than
whole year Of legislation. Japan's
reason for displacing the Korean gov
eminent Is that the Japanese govern
ment could not work with the ANTIQUE
machinery 1t found. Modern times re-
quire a modern efficient administra-
ton. Much of Russia's trouble and
failure IS due to red tape When Gen
eral Lineviteh used a rubber stamp on
commissary orders, the commissary
general returned the papers, and every
day the commander of half a million
men had to sign his name to requisi-
lions for his horses oats. War, govern
ment, politics, all are business, and I'M
