Electricity and Thought.
From the Columbus Journal.

Thirty years ago Edison opened the
first worlds station for generating cleo
trio current to be distributed for COM
mercial purposes. Next week, October D.,
he will celebrate the event by an eShi-
bition of electrical achievement. In the
line of household equipment there will be
a most interesting display. There will be
vacuum cleaners and electric ice boxes,
which not only serve as refrigerators.
but manufacture ice. Iceless ice water
and waterless ice are two of it's products.
There will be an automatic cOokstove
that prepares elaborate meals almost
without human assistance
There will be electro pencil sharpeners,
adding machines, calculating machines
and an electric motor that adds, sub
stracts, multiplies and divides any sum
as high as a quadrillion. There are other
wonders In this line by the score. 1t will
be the most wonderful celebration of the
century thus far.
1t seems, indeed, az if electricity is
human. and that. instead Of being the
soul of matter. 1t is form. of thought
That would support the materialists' view
II it were not itself a result of human in
telligence and genius. High above the
electric motor was the divine genius that
thought it out.

Mrs. Flora Patterson received the
guests in the George Washington Ii
brary; Mrs. Clayton E. Emig made the
introductions. and Mrs. Harold A.
Lewis. Mrs. Ella S. II. knight. Mrs.
Sidney III. Phillips, Mrs. T.. Richard
Gasch and Miss Grandfield were assist
ants. Tea was served in the tearoom'
and the adjoining corridors. and organ
music interspersed with solos by Mrs.
Warner Gibbs was enjoyed So many
questions have been asked regarding
the origin of st. Distaffs day that
word of explanation may not be amiss.
In colonial days the women did all
the spinning and the weaving. but all
work of this kind was laid aside dur
ing the Christmas period. which lasted
until January s. that day being known
as Twelfth Night or Little Christmas.
Upon the following day. before work
was resumed. the women. with their
distaffs in their arms. would call upon
one another. drink a friendly cup of
tea, and thus end the Christmas festivi-
ties Therefore January was called
St Distaff's day. and as such is annual
ly observed by Constitution Chapter.

Asiatic Creeds.
From the Chicago Journal.

From the Chicago Journal.
Few people realize the growth Of Asiatic
cults and religions in America. 1t Is
stated on apparently good authority that
this country now holds $4,000 sun wor-
shippers, and an equal number of Budd-
hists.
Probably ten times as many persons
have covered the oriental basis of their
new creed with a veneer of western
Christianity. The number of dabblers in
the mystic cults of India now among
us cannot be guessed.
There Is no cause for alarm at this
growth of orientalism. Neither is it a
thing to be proud Of Mysticism. SEN
sualism, lethargy-these in varying pro-
portions are woven in the texture of
every Asiatic creed that is seeking con-
verts here. These creeds do not and can
not fit the busy life of our land today.
and for that very reason they will make
no dangerous progress in this land.
The growth of pagan orientalism in
America is remarkable, but, after all. 1t
touches only the fringaof our population.

NARROW ESCAPE
FROM BAD WRECK

Buffalo Express: The North Coast
Limited had q narrow escape from be-
ing wrecked Monday evening. An east
bound freight had taken the south
track, but the switch had not been
closed when No. / came OH. at a high
speed and no ten seconds too soon
did the engineer and Operator Urdahl
discover the open switch. The fine
train was quickly reduced in speed and
Mr.. Urdahl made the run of his life,
throwing the switch just in time to
keep the big engine on the track. A
number of spectators OF the depot
platform made themselves suddenly
scarce when they saw the limited COM
ing into an open switch. The operator
and engineer certainly deserve praise
for their splendid work in averting
what would have been a bad wreck.

THE JOINTS AND
THE GRAND JURY

II the events that occurred few
days since at the dives that have
been running across the river from
the government camp must newt
ably come, as those things usually
do come at such places, they probably
occurred at an opportune time-at
the beginning of the grand jurys
sessions in Grand Junction. The oc-
currences emphasize the need of at
tention being given these nefarious
resorts by the authorities of the
county. They are a thorn to the gov
ernment officials in charge of the
work on the High Line canal and to
the citizens of Cameo. and are far
from being relished by the people
OF this community, who, while yet
several miles away, are more or less
affected by their presence Fine
phrases and the best of wishes for
better things will never eradicate n
,ancerous growth of that sort-it re-
luires radical action. not only to
erase present conditions, but as a
warning to all who may want to du-
1licate them in the future. OF course
he grand jury will be working quiet

own counsel as to the progress they
are making, but they cannot manu-
iacture evidence that will convict-it

operation on the part of the people.
Within few months active work
will be going on at tunnel No. 3 and
the present camp at Cameo will he
located within a little over n mile
from Palisade. This will mean that
many of the same class of people
will be located near at hand who
are now doing business near Cameo,
and they will be there for the next
two years. 1t is time to give these
matters serious consideration, and
only an aroused public sentiment on
the need of prompt and vigorous ac-
tion will accomplish any real good. 1t
is believed the time is opportune
to make move in the matter.-Pal-
