EDISON AND GERMAN INITIATIVE

EDISON AND GERMAN Initial, We.
Did Mr.. Edison really say, as the
World makes him say, that lin 1r-
chitecture as in all else, the Germans
lack proper initiative; they are good
adapters, that's all" Somehow this
does not sound like an exact likeness
of the Germans. Translate Mr.. Edi-
sons general statement into particu-
lar statements and the result looks
rather queer.
In music the Germans lack proper
initiative. They are merely adapters
Richard Wagner was a good adapter;
that's all. The same thing is true of
Richard Strauss. In statecraft and in
war the Germans lack proper initia-
tive. Examples: Bismarck and
Moltke. In philosophy they are noth.

Goethe lacked proper initiative in dra-
matte poetry, lyric poetry, natural
science, criticism and iebensweisheit
Even if we confine ourselves to our
own day, and to the single province
of poetry, Mr.. Edisons assertion is
just as wide of the mark. We sup

most eminent living poets were Rich

conceivable that Mr.. Edison may hear
nothing but the echoes which UNI
doubtedly make up part of Georges

MOTION PICTURES
Of SURF RIOING

Eaton Magoon of the Outrigger Club
returned to the city this morning in
the Wilhelmina and at once turned in
to help out the big events of Satur-
day at Waikiki. Magoon will see that
a motion picture machine and oper-
ator are sent down to the club to
project the surfing motion pictures
taken by Pathe Freres of Paris.
These are the pictures that M. Bon
william secured more than a year ago
while in Hawaii, They were sent to
Paris and developed there and a reel
sent back to the Outrigger Club. The
pictures show the junior members of
the club on the grounds toying with
their surf boards, the launching and
the race on the boards out to the big
surf, then the sport in the waves and
the return to the club grounds before
the big breakers. These pictures are
now being exhibited in Paris and the
Frenchmen take much delight in the
sport. The members of the Outrigger
Club will see how the Hawaiian grass
houses look to the European.

DIR. Thibodaux Complimented.

DR.. Paul T.Thibodanx, coroner Of AS
cension parish and one OF Donaldsonville's
most successful and popular young medi-.
cal practitioners, was notified this week
that he had been selected by the organi-
cation committee Of St Lukes Guild as
one of the members of the first board of
directors of the Guild, five of whom were
taken from the city of New Orleans and
five from the state at large. The society
is composed of practical, ethical members
OF the medical and dental professions
who are Of the Catholic religion, and its
objects are to counterfeit with all its
power the baneful influences that affect
principally the medical practice of the
state. to take charge under the direction
the archbishop of New Orleans and tie
bishop Of Alexandra OF such charitable
medical work as they may direct, and to
establish clinics for The help of the poor,
the stats OF which institutions are to be
composed of members of the Guild.
1t vas stated by the promoters of tie
society that they endeavored to get the
most representative, practical Catholic;
men they could to constitute the personnel
Of the first board of directors. and the
selection OF DR.. Thibodaux as one of the
members of the distinguished body is
considered by his numerous friends in
this community and elsewhere to be q
distinction of which he may well be
proud
DR.. Thibodaux went to New Orleans
Thursday to attend the first meeting Of
the board of directors, which was held in
the Office of the secretary, DR.. j. T. Nix, in
he Audubon Building at 0 clock Thurs
T day evening.
Some weeks ago statement appeared
in the ST. Helena Echo that at Montpelier
in that parish. "A heavily loaded log
train was coming into town under full
head of steam aud at high speed, when.
because of a defective switch, the engine
Jumped the track, bounced along over the.
lies distance OF thirty or forty feet, then
cliued back upon the rails with every
wheel and went on its way as if nothing
had happened" 1t speaks volumes fur
the reputation Of the esteemed Echo that
not even a .cheep' of dissent or doubt
1 has beef elected from the state press by
the account Of this remarkable occurrence.
Verify, the resources Of ST. Helena are
marvellous. and il is doubtful if any other
parish in Louisiana could have produced
as remarkable a railroad accident.

A CHANGE In THE CABINET.

Secretary of War Jacob Nj. Dickinson OF
Tennessee, the Democratic member Of
President Taft's cabinet. rendered his res
ignation on the 18th inst, and the presi-
dent nominated Hon. Henry l.. Stimson OF
New York to fill the vacancy. Mr.. Slim
\ son was the United States attorney who
successfully prosecuted the sugar trust for
defrauding the government at the port OF
New York, and in the last campaign he
was the Republican candidate for COVER
nor of the state OF New York.
Thief assigned by Mr. Dickinson
for retiring from Office is the pressure oil
private business which demands his per
sot,al attention, and this is in all proha-
hility the true and controlling reason
though The usual rumors are afi5at thai
there was some disagreement in the
presidents official family that led to the
withdrawal Of its lone Democrat.
The appointment Of Mr stifnson is re-
aartied BIZ the politicians as indicating d
desire on President Tafl's part to
s,raiphten out the Republican tangle in
New arfk, and the selection is one tbs I
seems All 10 exercise much influence i'll
