This h My SIst Birthday
Thomas A. Edison.

Thomas Ava Edison. the worlds most celebrated inventor of electrical appliances, was born in the town of Milan, Ohio, February 11f 1S47. While small lad he removed with his father to Michigan, and there his boyhood was spent. He was thrown upon his own resources and at the age of four teen became a newsboy on the Grand Trunk Railway. Later he aearned tell egraphy and worked as an operator in many parts of the United States and Canada At the age of 21 he had the reputation of being one of the most expert telegraph operators in America. While engaged in this business he be- gan his experiments in electrical sci- ence. and naturally he gave his first attention to Improvements in telegraph instruments and methods. Among his first successes were the automatic re- beating machine and the quadrup1e and sextuple telegraph machines. His sue cess enabled him to establish factory and laboratory in New Jersey, where he conducted experiments that gave to the world some of the greatest labor saving devices of the age. Many or the Improvements not only in tele- graphy but in electric lighting and in the telephone. photograph and kineto- scope are due to Mir. Edison's invent i've genius and from them he has accu- mulated a large fortune.

THE NEW DISEASE.

The Richmond Times-Dispatch is simewhat tangled over the question of "constructive insanity" as exhibited in the Thaw Case. and says that "No more striking plea has been heard in this country in a long time than Evelyn Thaw's demand for Harry's immediate removal from Matteawan, on the grond that staying there might make him go crazy. Here is a man who committed a crime because he was crazy. who was saved from the death-chair because he was crazy. and who must now be saved from the punishment which crazy men get because that punishment might tend to injure his mind.
 Tt would be difficult to bring the two horns of a dilemma into closer juxtaDosition than that. It would be impossible to appreciate the delicate position of the cake that must be both eaten and kept more clearly than right here. Poor little Evelyn's cry would be brazen if it were not so perfectly naive. She is not aware of anything incongruous about it. She Is se- rious-minded. practical little body. and she realizes that the time for play acting and the masquerade is past. The trial is over, and Harry Is ac- quilted. He can never be tried for the murder of White again. Long-winded verbiage, fimsy legal pretexts. con- fuslnE terminology fancy-priced ex- perts, stupendous melanch olia-these have done their work. and Harry has no longer any use for them. Can't people see that the trick has been done and that it is time to put away the cabinet and the phosphorous and the black silk robes7 Of course. everybody knows that Harry's insanity is only constructive. that Is positively for

Williams 10 she Rencue,

Louisville Courier-Journal.
 To the cardinal. Fundamental tenets phatically opposed. The North Pole is not further from the South Pole than is the President from the polit- ical system known as Democracy. Mir. Williams does we'll to call attention to the fact. He performs for his party 2 needed service. The party would be better off if 1t had a few more lead CTS of his balance and keenness of po- litical vision. The President has no doubt been enjoying hugely the joke he played upon the Democrats--in and out--of Congress. The speech of MT. |. Williams does not destroy the joke, but 1t necessarily must detract somewhat from the Presidents delight in it.
 Now Is the time of all times for the Democratic Party to assert its indi- viduality, to gird It's loins with strength, and instead of hailing The odore Roosevelt and RooseveItism to oppose them with all the earnestness possible. Rooseveltism, with its spirit of autocracy, absolutism. anti-constitu- tionalism and its high tariff, is a real enemy for the Democratic Party to re- sist and destroy. The idea of promi- nent leaders of a party of such whole some ideas salaaming before a man personifying such unDemocratic and sinister doctrines as Theodore Roose- welt is nothing short of preposterous.
 Here was an occasion for the Demo cratic Party to show It's teeth, and 1t fell down and worshiped; an opportun- ity for 1t to stand fast to It's ideals and 1t let it slip and bit at the bait of a sleek foeman. Democrats, Republi- cans and everybody else may champion honesty in business life. but the work for the Democratic Party to do is to combat the "sensationally federalIstic and dangerous"-to quote Mir. Williams movement which Theodore Roosevelt has set in motion and to preserve the Republic as a republic in fact as well as in name.

 It docS seem somewhat mixed. for fact, but is Eveiyn's plea any more ab- surd than the one which saved Harry from electrocution? It is true that 1t seems ridiculous to claim that q man who was declared insane by jury should be in danger of becom- ing crazed by association with other lunatics. but has not the whole business been largely farcical? If Thaw was a dangerous iunatic" when he killed White. and was sent to an asylum because he was still in that condition. how can he already be so right in his mind that he can be made crazy by remaining among other lu- l natics? Why not do away with all pretence and set him free and have done with it? Perhaps if he commits another murder there will be a chance to punish him. constructive insanity" Is good.

This is easy enough. for 1t would be very strange if such a lengthy official promulgation did not contain something to commend. To judge from the reading of some of the comments the writers must have used searchlight to find anything good in the document. But it was "a great message"-from Roosevelt's point of view.

Bryap's Refusal of Three Invitation.

 William Jennings Bryan has no supe- rior among the public speakers of the day in his ability to turn to advantage rude or coarse Interruption from an unfriendly audience while making a political address. He invariably make the scoffer feel very cheap by a bit of repartee which captures the sympa- thy of the house. Willis J. Abbot Is responsible for the following:
 Bryan was making a speech in his last Presidential campaign fin a com munity that was strongly McKin- ley. There was a disposition through out the evening to make matters un- comfortable for him. One inebriated Republican in the gallery was partic- ularly offensive. Early in the proceed ings he beloved out, Go to h. Bryan pald no attention to the Interruption and a few minutes later the same stri- dent voice was heard again. Bryan still ignored the man, who kept quiet for exactly four minutes. Then he broke loose again with Go to h.
 Bryan fixed the alcoholic disturber with a steady gaze. Then he said: That Is the third invitation I have had in the past ten minutes to join the Re- publican Party. The crowd broke into laughter and the man was squelched for the evening""

 It was happy decision of the Btu reau of American Republics, as an- nounced in our columns yesterday, to hold the next n-American Congress at Buenos Ayres, beginning on May 25, 1910. and one which had been pret- ty confidently anticipated, because of it's obvious fitness.
