than 100000 year"
Then Mr.. Edison talked of some
present-day political conditions. He
said:
81 hope the government WIFI be
mighty slow about going into Mexico.
We are big enough to stand having
our toes stepped on a little. We are
big enough to stand a little humilia-
ton, maybe. for huma nity's sake. IN
willing TO take my share. Let them
fight It out down there; that will be
the best thing in the end.

soldiers knocking citizens around and
sabering them because they laughed a
little. That is a mean way to run q
co 'ntry.
Then there is Russia. It looks to
me as If another French Revolution
was in the boiling over there. There
will be an explosion some day that
will stir the world. !"
Praises Henry Ford.
About his friend, Henry Ford, the
automobile manufacturer, with whom
he and Mrs. Edison and John Bur
roughs, the naturalists, are going to
Florida in q few days, Edison had
this to say:
Ford was making so much money
he didn't know what to do with it.
so he first contemplated sharing his
profits with the public by reducing
the price of his cars; but 1t wasn't
a square deal to give it all to the
users, so he decided to give some OF
it to the fellows who made the car.
That was a square thing to do
"Bv his long forethought he pro-
duced a very wonderful machine OF
one model by means of an automatic
machinery which he developed al
most to the limit He is a remarkably
shrewd man"
The inventor was unable to say
how much his income tax will be.
That's too complicated for me-" he
said, although he added the tax was
"all right"
Mr.. Edison also noted the need for
reform in the patent laws There is
no protection for the inventor" he
said. when the United States pre-
sents an inventor with a patent it
presents him at the same time with
a lawsuit"
But the people of Podunk were
waiting for their ten-cent grand op-
era. the inventor said, and they had
to be taken care of.

Edison was quoted as saying just
after his discovery of the kineto-
