Well, as all the folks have gone tC

by writing to the News. Our town is
quiet as usual. The mines are work
ing every day, but so much rain has
made the mines very wet
often ask the question in my mind,
'sWhat is man''' and try to answer the
same, so here it is: Man is one OF
Gods electric machines, through
which the great current that sustains
life and holds the world in place, is
vibrating. Man is the highest inver
tion of Goo uuou this earth, and |
doubt il any of those created by GOD
are ever able TO make man like God
made Adam. But Thomas A. Edison
is getting mighty close to 1t, If all re-
ports are true He has made man
that can walk and talk and is able to
deliver great speeches, making all
gestures and facing the audience in all
directions II this i true, who knows
but what Tom may some day step Off
in space where God has not been yet,
and start a garden and make some
folks and have a chunk of a world of
his own, and I guess Tom with the
experience he has had, might prevent
Cain from killing Abel and also
might not make the seruent, and there
fore Adam might not transgress his
law. You soc God said it almost re-
pented him that he had made man, and
| guess Tom has heard someone tell
what God said about it, and he would
be sure to improve upon the start.
You know half the battle is won when
you start right. guess Tom will soon
take up the job of perfecting an air
ship in which we can sail around the
sun, moon and stars and carry on a
general merchandise business with
the inhabitants of those planets. Oh,
YOU needn't laugh. l was as big
fool as you are one day when I first
heard il said that Tom had made
thing that could talk. said that's a
newpaper lie, but he had all the same
In another hundred years won't this
world be hummer, il God let's it
alone, and l guess He will for don't
think He has much use now for very
large majority of the people, and if
we can raise few more Tom Edisons

Grand Jury Refuses
RedIight True Bills

The Gormley grand jury last night
refused to be swayed by the argu-
ments of two groups OF women who
wanted indictments returned in the
red light fraud cases.
One delegation consisted of mem
bers of the San Francisco center, who
were content to express their views
by means of a letter which was read
by Foreman Gormley. They contended
that there was plenty OF evidence to
warrant the returning of indictments.
The second group was made up of
representatives of the Women's Vot-
ers' club, the Women's Committee of
Justice and the Oceanside Women's
club. These women said that they had
no personal knowledge OF forgeries
on the red light petition. Gormiey
told them that the grand jury could
not consider hearsay evidence and dis
missed them.
