EDIsoN's LOSS

We all sympathize with the wizard
in bis great loss; not so much for
the money loss as for the priceless
treasurers which his brain has been
weaving for thirty-five years, and for
which no money can bring compensa-
ton.
Edison Is one OF those practical
dreamers, whose dreams lead up to
material success; a magician who
out of the ether, as it were, draws
intangible material and converts 1t
into something substantial and of
service to mankind. The records OF
these in that laboratory; more than
that, there were others which were
still in incubation, ami when all these
melted away in an hour, 1t is idle
to try to estimate the loss. The
world will sorrow for him and at the
same time have much self-pity for
what mankind lost at the same time.

STOLE THE METHODIST CHURCH

1t is not often that church is
sold, traded or stolen, but here is
an instance of proceedings that are
not without a vein of humor.
New York City bought up large
valley in Ulster county, N. Y, for the
creation of storage reservoir for
their water supply, and 1t is nearing
completion. Work has been pushed
vigorously on it for about ten years,
and in clearing the valley for it they
bought up many towns and villages,
farms, summer resorts, bridges, rail-
roads, school houses and churches.
Everything perishable was removed,
including the bodies in the GEM
eteries. A Methodist church in one
of the villages was appraised ano
paid for, and was being removed,
when some of the members became
interested in what was to be done
with it., and after making inquiries
of some subordinaes of the water
company or the railroad company or
both, they took possession Of the
church Sin transit" and moved 1t to
site of their own selection and hand
led 1t as their own.
Some of the legal minds who had
been fighting claims for years and
were getting tired of the unlimited
efforts of some people to fleece" the
city water department, treated the
disappearance of the church the same
as they would have treated a similar
disappearance of a load of lumber or
cement-they traced it up and levied
upon the bodies of the people who
Hook it or authorized the taking.
They claimed to have obtained per-
mission from somebody to do what
ever they pleased with 1t, and they
had jumped at the chance, without
considering the source.

THE DIRECT PRIMARY
AND THE POCKETBOOK

The people of Idaho have had dem
onstrated to them the fact that the
direct primary system and the extra
VACANT use of money in politics go
hand in hand. This extravaganza is
not confined to the politician. The
public is called upon to share the
expense. A matter of fact the ex-
penditures of the public is minor
consideration provided the public
gets anything for its money. The
expenditures made by men seeking
public office is the real harm in the
system. Change your methods of OPP
Grafton howsoever you may and these
two will always be found together.
There are in this country, in as many
states, a dozen different primary laws,
In no state has law been found
which divorces money and politics
under the direct primary system
Each state has tried to guard against
the very thing of which we complain.
mot one of them has succeeded IN
doing it.
Captain Davis, assistant attorney
general of Idaho, as stated In our
last issue has prepared a bill which
will probably be introduced at the
next session of the legislature. Cap
tain Davis seems to overlook the fact
that the system invites the very thing

was no longer in doubt, enabling the
Nationals to break even with the Browns

Ten hits off the delivery of four
different pitchers was the extent of the

alike by the locals, everything that was
offered being hit clean and hard.
On the other hand. the Browns were
up against Walter Johnson. and Walter
was at his best. He could pitch just as
well as he wanted to, and there was not
chance for the Browns. johnson toyed
with his opponents most of the time, but
