Mr.. Edison's Views.

Thomas A. Edison is a man with
normal vision and Is, therefore,
according to Bernard Shaw's die
tum. a man in ten thousand. Mr..
Edison was interviewed the other
day, and the burden of his remarks
was that the human race has never
yet learned to economize in any
way.
Some of Mr.. Edison's beliefs are
incontrovertible, and they ought to
reach the widest possible public.
That men who kill each other in
war are mere animals is not an &C.
centric idea of Mr.. Edison's. 1t
is, of course, a simple statement of
fact. Animals that become antag-
onistic fall upon each others
throats; while two men, if they
possess a moderate amount of
brains and culture, can arrive at a
quiet conclusion when they find
themselves at cross purposes-even
if they have to solicit the help of a
mediator. Organizations fight, it
is true, and we cheer, and erect
monuments, and compose songs.
At least, we used to compose songs
until the art Of song writing van
ished from the earth. But when
two men fight we laugh at them,
if we have the saving gift of bumor,
and we abhor them if we are seri-
Gus minded.
MIR. Edison shows us that if we
would consent to be more iDterde-
pendent-interdependency along
the lines pointed out by the late
Edward Bellamy is suggested-we
would be able to perform our work
much more easily. And be init.
mates that it is the worst form of
waste to spend 90 much time rails
ing cattle for beef, when the same
amount of effort would supply rs
all with milk and butter, which
are much cheaper and more nutri-
tious than meat-and the abattoirs
might be nearly abolished.-St.
Louis Times.

of the people has, in our estima-
ton, made the first serious mistake
of his administration.
The Managers Of Our Business.

Modern government is more and
more devoted to economic ques-
tions: it is business, speaking in
the largest and best sense of that
term. There has been great deal
of sentiment in discussing the con-
servation of the resources OF
this country. This is not neces-
sary. The United States now holds
property of infinite value. 1t is in
the management of officials who
are just as responsible for it as are
the officials of bank to their
stockholders. The dav of ram.
pant individualism on the political
platform and of monopoly control
in the committee room is coming
to an end. And political parties
may we'll recognize it. If one
party or administration will not
nanag our affairs in our own in
t.erests, we will get another man
agement. 1t may not come tomor-
row, or next year. But it will
come very soon>-John E. Lath-
rop and George Kibbe Turner, in

A good deal is being said nova
days about the degeneration of
modern theatrical plays. and much
that IS being said does not come
amiss. The stage is always being
elevated, yet it keeps getting deep
er and deeper into the mire of in
decency. Tbe tendency is not to
get the drama back to its purer
motives of the past, but to con-
struct plays, and to play them, in
manner that brings them as near
rs possible to risqueness of the
spoken parts and nudeness of The
female performers as possible. To
anyone who can contrast the drama
OF twenty and twenty five years
ago with that of today, he cannot
but be impressed with the better
conditions of the earlier period.
We DO not mean to say, however,
that al that time stage indecencies
were entirely absent; they had
them, but they were usually pre-
sented in play y-houses of the "Two
Frolics Daily" class, and were
patronized by men only, and only
by such men as were not particular
aboutmaintainingtbeir self.respect,
to say nothing of the respect OF
their friends. Now you can 60 tc

President Taft's special message
to congress, covering railroad and
trust regulation by the federal gov
ernment, has the right ring, and is
quite in line with the policy of his
distinguished predecessor in re-
spect to making law that would
give the government authority to
hold directing control over these
institutions. There is one thing
about the recommendation, how
ever, that tends to nullify all the
rest if it ever reaches practical op-
GRAFTON, and that is, that the oper-
alton is to be involved in greater
legal circumlocutionlby the estab-
lishment of special court to de-
termine appeals from the inter
state commerce commission ru.-
ings. just why such a special court
might be more fair than the COM
mission from which the appeal is
taken, does not appear. Legal
ramifications and subterfuges have
been ready refuge in the past fo1
the trusts and combines, and we
see no good coming from incrcas
ing opportunities for the malefac
tors Of business to escape THEN
crimes in the legal labyrinth.

Golden Rule Genesis.

With slight variations. what we
call the Golden Rule is found in
the sacred literature of nearly
every civilized nation. For ex.
ample, the following extracts which
have been compiled from the reiig-
ieus teachings of the various peo-
pie of antiquity will show the
notifications which the old adage
has undergone:
Do rs you would be done by
Persian.
Do not that to neighbor which
you would take i'll from him.

What you would not wish done
to yourself, do not unto others. -
One should seek for others the

All things whatsoever ye would
that men should do to you, do We

The true rule in life is to guard
and do by the things of others as
they do by their own.-Hindoo.
The law imprinted on the hearts
of all men is to love the members
of society as themselves.-Roman.
Whatsoever you do not wish your
neighbors to do to you, do not IN

The rest is mere exposition of it.
