AMONG THE
NEW MAGAZINES
Edison's Way Of Facing The
War

1.-The only war in which human
ity has anything permanent at
stake" is described in the Ameri-
can Magazine for November by a
staff correspondent, in the report
of an interview with Edison, the
inventor. "Get into Nature s in
trenchments and make her give up.
That s what we must do, Edison
declared and Suddenly | realized
the truth Of what he said (the re-
porter writes). The real war-no
mere sport of princelings, but hui
manity's srtife for progress and
welfare, the war for the liberation
of happiness-was here. | was at
the front. This room piled with
books and apparatus, was the
worlds military headquarters in
the only war worth waging, and
before me sat the worlds acknow-
lodged leader, the determined and
unconquerable genius who so often
had pressed Nature s obstinate re-
sistance from stronghold to strong
hold, and finally to unconditional
surrender. Compared with the
campaign he had waged those of
Caesar and Frederick seemed the
idle, firing play of boys. Beside
his victories those of Hannibal and
Napoleon seemed insignificant.
The article under the title Of
Edison in Wartime" gives the
story Of the great inventor S meth
od Of facing the English embargo
proposition which cut his source of
supply of carbolic acid, a material
used at the rate of a ton and half
per day, in the Edison Record fac
tory. The facts of the story are as
follows:
"Three days after England s
embargo on a material that cannot
be made in this country Edison
had determined process for max
ing it synthetically-a brand-new
departure in commercial chemistry.
Within the next week his plans for
manufacturing plant were com
plete and his mobilization effected.
Seventeen days atterward his plant
delivered it's first days output Of
product-which other chemists as
sured him would take at least six
,months. Finally his product is
delivered at cost which warrants
his operating hereafter, when the
foreign product begins to come in
again. 1t is no temporary measure
he is in the carbolic acid business
to stay, as long as he needs it,"

said she spoke as the president of
the Browning Club, but, when
questioned, admitted that this club
had only twelve members, and
had ioined the Federation only a
few weeks before. The experience
of the General Federation of Wo-
men s Clubs, which endorsed the
suffrage last June, is that no clubs
have withdrawn in consequence.
but the number Of new clubs that
have Joined has exceeded the num-
Der affiliated in past years for the
same period of time. Since suf-
frage was first taken up as a study
by the General Federation, over
700 new clubs have joined. Mrs.
Rudolph Blakenburg of Philadel-
phia, for six years an officer of the
General Federation, stated that
the officers did not know of single
club that had withdraw because of
the endorsement Of suffrage, and
openly repudiated the statement
made by the anti-speaker, that the
endorsement of suffrage had brok-
EN- up many clubs.

SUFFRAGE NOTES

In two important States the
Federations of Women Clubs
have just given their support to
votes for women. In Missouri,
where a suffrage amendment was
voted upon yesterday, the Board
of the State Federation at its
meeting in Pennington gave a
hearty endorsement; and in Penn
sylvania at the State convention
last week in Pittsburgh a Suffrage
resolution was carried overwhelm-
ingly, with only % dissenting votes
among the 4O7 delegates.
This action follows the endorse
ment of equal suffrage last June
at the General Federation s BIZ
ennial in Chicago. The Missouri
Board went on record as believing
in the principle of woman suffrage.
For the first time an equal suffrage
club was admitted to membership.
the Susan B.. Anthony League Of
Kansas City.
Mrs. f. M. Roessing, president
of the Pennsylvania Woman Suf-
frage Association declined the
honor of being a delegate at the
convention in that State, but at
tended the sessions as the guest Of
Mrs. Samuel Semple, President of
the State Federation.
"That suffrage was the absorb
ing interest of all the meetings was
easily apparent said Mrs. Roes-
sing, land therefore the victory
for suffrage which followed the de-
bate on the last day was not sur
prise. | sat in the gallery while
the vote was being taken, and, al
though | expected big favorable
majority, l did not realize that
practically the entire body would
rise.
"When the nays were called, 2S
women voted against the resolu-
ton. There was total Of 4O7
delegates, of whom over $50 voted
in favor, few not voting. At the
following session the ants brought
in a minority protest against the
passage of the resolution, to which
they could secure only ten sigma
lures. The constitutionality of the
federations endorsement of suf-
frage was attacked by the ants,
but the attack was quickly dispel-
led by the fact that if such action
on suffrage were unconstitutional,
then all previous resolutions on
child labor, forestry and similar
matters requiring Legislative ac-
ton would also have been uncon-
stitutional.
"The important fact Of the en-
dorsement is that the vast major
ity of that organization, represent
ing $1,000 women, was strongly
for suffrage. The State president
of the anti association led their
campaign from the platform and
used every advantage which the
position Of an honorary president
gave her, but this seemed to make
the delegates only more determin-
ed to express their opinions. l have
great admiration for the way in
which Mrs. Samuel Semple han
died the entire discussion and her
absolute fairness ~
"The threat that disruption will
follow the endorsement of suffrage
by the Federation seems most un-
likely to be carried out. Even if
the ants attempt it, there would
only be two clubs that would with.
draw, both of these ants clubs hav.
ing joined the Federation within
the past few months, obviously fol
the purpose Of trying to block the
resolution. One of their speakers

Three masked men about mid
night on Friday boarded the last
car on the trolley line at Richard
son Park and tried to grab the
money belt from Conductor Ed
ward Crossan of 1914 Laurel street
Wilmington. In the struggle the
trio fell off the car which was at
once started. The gang opened
fire with revolvers, breaking sew
eral windows with bullets, one OF
which went through the rear end
of the car. Crossan and Edward
p. Murphy, the motorman, OF 9ol
Gilpin avenue, crouched low and
escaped injury. L. H. Schwende-
man Of Richardson Park, a passen-
ger on the car, who alighted there
and was walking to his home, was
attacked by four masked men but
fought them off with a large pock-
ct knife. Later, a similar party
seized the Waterman OF the Wll-
mington Leather Company, as he
was passing from one building Of
the plant to another, bound his
arms and at the point Of revol-
yer marched him to the office which
they ransacked. Failing to get
any plunder, the masked men took
the watchman s watch and pen
knife and disappeared.
The problem of finding work
for the unemployed in Wilmington
may be partially solved by sewers
extensions. The City Council has
directed it's Finance Committee to
consider the cost of an extension
to Henry Clay and prepare an or
dinance providing for a bond is
sue to meet the expense Of the work
1t is understood that the DUPONT
Powder Company will help to meet
the cost of construction.

The Standard Arms Company
Of Wilmington, it is reported, has
received an order for supplying
100000 rifles to an export house in

rope. The agents seeking the
rifles are also said to be inquiring

SOME SYSTEM.

Every farmer should know just
where he stands financially; he should
keep an accurate account of his daily,
weekly. monthly and yearly business
transactions IF an account book is
valuable to a m srchant or a banker, ii
is also Of value to the farmer A farm
account book is a matter of economy
and pleasure. In case Of death, or dis
pute, it is a protection. Keeping &C
counts assists the farmer to become
accurate and quick with figures and in
creases his knowledge Of business man
agement. Systematic records give him
positive knowledge, and consequently
his opinions have greater weight than
the opinions of those who merely esti-
mate a: d guess.
In keeping accurate farm accounts it
is essential that a perpetual inventory
be kept. An inventory is a schedule,
In detail, Of the farm and what is on it.
Land and buildings, machinery and
tools, live stock, grain, ha7, notes,
cash, paid up life insurance, open book
accounts, ard all the property having a
money value. It Is good thing for q
farmer, as well as for a merchant, to
go over his belongings" once or twice
year, measuring, weighing, compu.-
ing and recording results. In this way

be gets things together and finds some
thing occasionally he had forgotten.
If be is q close observer at this time
he will find harness that needs mend
ing; tools and buildings that need re-
pair, and if he is enterprisinR he will
make such needed repairs, at once,
when he has time and before the seas
on when the machinery is needed. The
rolling stock Of a railroad is overhaul
ed and tested at each division point
(about an eight hour rum. Bat farm
ers seldom examine their machinery
with the view of putting it in Al run
ming order. Good railroad manage
ment is good farm management.
Also record of receipts and disburse-
ments should be kept A very ordin-
airy blank book Of reasonable siz9 will
serve this purpose nicely. Along with
this, q bank account should be kept.
The check book stub should be filed
out ard balance forwarded when g
check is written. II this is done the
expense account will tally with the
check book, affording a double check
of correctness.
The Importance OF knowing how
ones bank account stands is forcefully
illustrated by the following true story
which was recently told the writer: A
farmer who had always written his
checks against the side Of a WHgon-box,
or the barr, in q baphsz card sort of
way, without making ont the stub,
was surprised one day On receipt OF g
notice from a bank with which he had
had no dealings for two and one half
years, that he had a deposit to his
credit of S288. He had entirely forgot
ten the account, but was willing to
take the banks word that it was his
and checked it out. TINS is only one
of may instances Of valuable things
overlooked and forgotten. The eff
lent MAI watches sucA leaks. Ignor-
ance is bliss; tits folly to be wise. u

seldom makes any money.
