Edison's Predictions;
Will They Come True!

Thomas A. Edison predicts that
within the next twenty years the art
of molding concrete will reach a mar,
Velous degree Of perfection in archi-
lecture. This will not be achieved by
great expenditure of money; it will
be accomplished by labor saving ap-
rliances which will so cheaper the
cost of production that, twenty years
hence, the poor will have more beau
tiful homes than the rich can aspire
to.
Mr.. Edison predicts that moving
picture machines will be so perfected
that the characters will move and
speak, and other stage accessories
will make the illusion perfect Such
| entertainment, he says, can be pro-
vided for five cents, and will give
| the millions of working people
! chance to be amused and improved.
| The result will be hard blow to the
| saloon.
Locomotives will pass out of exis-
| tence, and all railroads be operated
Ly electricity. This prophecy seems
very evident of fulfllment. An ar
fist searching for a model of steam
| locomotive found out the other day
that to see an old-fashioned engine
he would have to go to Jersey City,
as electricity operates all roads run
ming into New York proper.
The water power of our brooks and
rivers will be utilized by electricity
to an extent now undreamed Of
A new fertilizer will spring into
existence containing nitrogen in
large quantities. Electricity will
draw, this from the air, and will
greatly increase the arability of our
land. This is done to large ex-
tent in Sweden.
Aerial navigation will be firmly
established, and will be an a sound,
practical working basis in twenty
years.
Our bodies will be fortified against
i the rayages OF disease by the use OF
sernms, SO that man viii live much
longer than now and suffer far less
1 Fain. The present fight against can.
Ger and tuberculosis will be carried
to a successful finish, and both these

Occasionally a Year
Goes to the Bad

My friend, for about ten consecu-
tive years South Dakota has produc
ru more wealth per capita than any
other state Of this Union. Like any
other high record maintained so long
we grow accustomed to it, aud expect
it as a regular thing. And yet, our
intelligence, our experience, our his
tories of other states and countries
ali tell us that this is impossible-and
| never obtains in any cline or under
any flag. Varying conditions are Ger
| tain to occur occasionally, every
where and anywhere. Should we eX-
! pect anything so very different in our
own grand commonwealth? Aud when
this state, which has few equals, and
which has for a decade poured gold
into the pockets of our people, be-
comes amendable, to unusual weather
conditions which reduces her product
| one year. should we get cold feet and
| cultivate the yellow streak no man
APPROVES or admires? In the pioneer
| days of new country, when every
| thing is experimentation resources
as scarce as Strawberries in January,
it is not strange if man fuses around
| like hill of ants when you pour
| pint of kerosene on their home But
as communities grow older, they ac-
cept any condition with calmness and
courage, and proceed along the even
tenor of their way-perhaps swift
and moderate as the conditions war
rant-but with never thought of
| cold feet, or lowering of real values.
For instance, some of Illinois $500 land
is dry as bone. AS a matter of fact
the heat and drought of 1911 was as
near national in extent as ever re-
corded before, and the country as a
/ whole will accept the condition with
/ philosophical cheerfulness Mile.

America and the Fine Arts.

The death of Edwin Abbey, the eel
ebrated painter. reminds us of the
great advance America has made III
literature and the fine arts since Sid
ney Smith sneeringly asked, who
reads an American book"
AS q matter OF fact there never
was any justification for the sheer
Tor even in Americas earliest years
authors and artists of renown were
not wanting In the particular sphere
in which Abbey gained such distinc-
ton the namna, among others. OF
Benjamin West and John Thrumbull
easily suggest themselves.
But, naturally, as the nation grew
away from the comparatively primi-
tive and rough pioneer days to a po-
sition of wealth and refinement the
way for men of genius in the arts be-
came more open, and many have
found it to their own profit and to the
honor of their country.
Among all such Abbey easily rose
to the first rank This was not due
to luck but to painstaking hard work
and rare artistic gift His mural
paintings, 1.-THE Holy GraiD for the
Boston public library, are among the
masterpieces of American painting
and at once secured for him a nation
al fame. Perhaps the best tribute to
Abbeys talent was the commission
given him to paint the coronation of
Edward VII of England.
Ills success and that of others in
painting and sculpture proves that
this country can hold its own with
B other nations and that it is not al,
together ruled by the spirit OF com
nercialism.

MUST FORT|FY
 PANAMA CANAL Declares United States Are Bound By Treaty JUDGE STEER TALKS Says That Neutrality of Panama Canal Cannot Be Preserved
 Without Military
 Force

New York, February 13.-The United States has no choice in deciding whether the Panama canal shall be fortified. The canal must be fortified, and heavily forti- fled at that. if this country Is to preserve inviolate the neutrality of this gateway to the western ocean. It Is bound by treaty with Great Britain to preserve it's neutrality. and cannot do so with lock- keepers and civil officers in the Panama zone. So declared Judge Emery Speer of Georgia in an address tonight at re- publican club banquet.
 The President Is, of course, primarily intrusted with the national defense,'' Judge Speer said ''It is the right and make capable of defense the work that will bear so vital relation to it's welfare.
 There are. however, persons who take the contrary view"
 Judge Speer discussed the worldwide political changes since the day of Presi- dent Taylor, when it was announced that this country's intention was not to fortify the canal He referred to the treaty be- tween the United States and Great Britain urGer which the United States Is sole guarantor of the neutrality of the canal, and touched upon incidents leading to the adoption of this treaty. He said:
 Our title to the route of the canal Is unchallenged, and it is as clear as our title to the channel of the Hudson, or of the Mississippi. Other nations than Great Britain and Panama are neither parties nor privies to the treaty. If other nations not parties to the treaty become be!igerent inter SC, we will be morally bound to keep the canal neutral as to them. By the treaty with Great Britain we are made the sole guarantors of that neutrality. but that guaranty could not be kept by lock tenders or other civil of ficials of the canal To enforce neutral ity, and especially to perform the duties of sole guarantor, requires military force, and a strong fort.
 "A hostile fleet might blow up the locks without violating any international law.
 "Is the commerce of the whole world, for the neutrality of which within the ca nal we now become guarantor, so free from difficulties and intricacies that we car rely upon the civil servants of the government to enforce this obligation? Is not the honor of the nation pledged? Is not its dignity, character and influence at stake? Will not the nerve center of in- ternational strategy be located there, at the instant of the first successful passage through its lock and channels of mighty battleship from either ocean to the other Are we now so isolated that we may safely give no heed to the perfect mili- tarlsm and gigantic steel clad squadrons of the grand old world beyond the deep? Can we afford to ignore the uncounted millions and the racial animosties of Asia? Do we appreciate the astounding mobility of modern fleets and armies?

That admirable newspaper, the Nashville Banner, makes the following comment on an error into which it's contemporary, 5f the same city, had fallen, concerning gentleman, who has commanded my ad- miration ever since I first met him, when he was the democratic candidate for Con- gress in the famous old Fourth Kentucky district in 1S67 when I was not yet ad- vanced out of youth and he not yet emerged from middle lfe
 "The Tennessean and American says: Senator Proctor Knott insists that his ca- reer in the Senate was ruined because hs acquired the reputation of being humor- ous There was once a famous race horse named Proctor Knott. born at Belle Meade, and there is an estimable old gentleman in Kentucky who several times repre- sented the Fourth Kentucky, district Tn Congress, and while there made famous funny speech about Duluth. which some people were so unlxind as to say Dom Piatt wrote. This same Proctor Knott was also governor of Kentucky from 1883 to 1884, but who was Senator Proctor Knott?'
 Proctor Knott was never Senator in congress, ana Ht lSNct Sdio thot AiiS N~ reer anywhere was ruined because he acquired the reputation of being humor- ous" Tom Corwin was the man who claimed that his renown was dimmed be- cause of his penchant for humor: but Cor win was not in Knott's class. Take humor from Corwin's speeches-all but that op- posing the Mexican war-and nothing Is left; but take the humor from Knotts speeches, and mountains remain.
 Corwin was an actor: Knott was a thinker. On the dramatic stage Corwin would have ranked with Garrick or Kean or either Booth; but at the bar Knott was in a class with Carlisle, or Madison c. Johnson, or Humphrey Marshall. You have one great lawyer in Kentucky, said old Jere Black, the head of the Ameri- can bar, to James E. Beck. He was alud- ing to Proctor Knott then chairman of the House judiciary committee. Until Knott got to Congress, Corwin's Corn stalk Militia speech lived in tradition as the most stupendousy humorous produc- ton of any American, and so it was, no doubt, to hear it as it was delivered by that matchless actor; but when l came to read it, I found 1t commonplace and pos Lively dull compared with Knotts hu- morous productions-the Pennsylvania avenue speech and the Duluth speech. Knott's admirable legal argument on the question of removal of causes from state to federal courts was also interspersed with humor that convulsed Congress.
