NEVER TOUCHED Me-

The March American Magazine
contains an interesting editorial
about Thomas A. Edison and chro-
nology of his line and achievements,
prepared by William H. Meadowcroft,
who for thirty years has been one Of
Edison's chief associates. The, article
is accompanied by remarkable pho
tograph of Mr.. Edison. This photo
graph was rescued from the thick OF
the fire which devastated the Edison
plant in december. The frame was
charred and the glass covering the
photograph was cracked and blacken-
ed by the heat but the picture itself
remained unmarked. The great In
ventor, with characteristic humor,
scrubbed on the margin, Never
touched me- An extract from the
editorial accompanying the chron-
ology follows:
ION December 9 the huge manu-
featuring plant of Thomas A. Edison,
situated on the Valley road, Orange,
NJ j., was visited by devastating
fire which devoured buildings, appara-
tus and supplies, whose value can at
the time of writing, only be loosely
estimated.
THE inventor watched the fire
with one thing uppermost in his
mind. What do you suppose it was?
What would you be thinking about
under those circumstances, with the
labor of years, and nearly all you own
in the world, going up in ruin and
loss?
"Thomas A. Edison was intently
examining the fire-resisting qualities
of reinforced concrete construction,
so that hereafter such buildings may
be truly fireproof.
There's a mighty expensive ex-
pertinent he said, pointing to the
blazing pile, but it's a good one.
There will be a mobilization around
here tomorrow IL that stuff cools of
enough, and when those buildings go
up again. they'll go up fireproof.'
What an example! Especially in
these times, when SO many show the
white feather and croak about hard
times or bad luck or some kind of
petty trouble or grievance! Here is
the living incarnation of American
spirit and courage. Not a thought OF
the past. Not a regret, except for the
single life lost, one of his workmen
who died doing his duty! Not hint
of complaint or Encouragement, but
every power of thought and will con.
centrated on what he was going to

him as good citizen. We are only
sorry that he is taking himself and
bride away from us, but hope he may
return in the near future to make his
home here. The bride wore navy
blue crepe de chene dress trimmed
with lace and was unattended. A
dainty wedding luncheon was served,
which was enjoyed by all. They re-
ceived many beautiful and useful pres

table and bed linen. If the good
wishes rendered to them are all full
filled, surely no storm will ever cross

PUBLIC OPINION

Opposed to confiecation.

To the Editor of The Gate City.
Recently there appeared in The
Gate City. an article from "A Tax
Payer" in which the writer took con-
siderable satisfaction that the mulct
law had been repealed. The writer
did not take into account-at least
did not mention it-that the enforce
ment of this law would practically
confiscate about $4,000 worth of
property belonging to the Pechstein-
Nagel Co., and release from employ
me1t more than score OF men. This
property was created through the con-
sent Of the state and government and
the business conducted according to
the laws Of the government and state,
but now the people have decided that
the business is unlawful-or will soon
be-and enact legislation that destroys
that which 1t has helped create.
hold that the people have the right to
enact such legislation, but also hold
that some provision should be made
to compensate, the owners of the
property. / am one who enjoys
glass Of beer. do not abuse the use
of it or abuse my neighbor who does
not use it. l have known many people
who complain about the use of beer
who are very Incorporate in other
matters. The law will prevent the
manufacture of beer In Iowa but will
not prevent the sale of 1t within the
state from outside breweries, so while
the law closes the home brewery and
throws out Of employment twenty-five
or thirty men the cause of temper
ance will not be advanced and the ex-
penditure of money will not be lessen
ed thereby. Iowa money will be sent
out of the state to build up other in
dustries and the bootlegger and the
will be invited to re-
turn to the field which under old pro-
hibition days was a very profitable
one. I am not one who rejoices In
the misfortune of my fellow man,
whether that misfortune comes from
drink or from other causes, and am
quite unable to understand just how
Taxpayer" can get any satisfaction
out Of situation that will surely fail
to promote the cause of temperance.
If the business of Taxpayer" was
destroyed by legislation would the
feeling be the same as expressed in
the article appearing in your paper a
few days ago?

THE ROADWAY OF NY HEART

THE ROADWAY OF NY HEART.
A big road circles round the world
sure fine It is, they say,
But the little boreen of my heart runs
lone and far away.
IT'S winding over weary seas with
many a sigh beset,
But oh, of all the roads | know it is
the dearest yet.
BY common ways and common homes
and common graves it goes,
But no one knows its beauty like the
soul within me knows;
Its dawns are drenched with dews
from heaven. its night are tear
full sweet,
And sometimes One long crucified
walks there to guide my feet.
1T leads me down by purple hills
where fairies sport o. nights,
1t shows me many a hawthorn lane,
the scene of dead delights,
1T clothes again with living fire the
faces laid away
Beneath the cold of grass and mold,
my road of yesterday.
o twilit boreen of my heart. the
world is vague and vast,
But you are holy with the balm of all
my hallowed past;
You thrill ME with the touch Of hands
my hands were wont to hold.
You lure me with the Tilt of dreams
dreamed and lost OF old.
The big, big road OF the world leads
on by many a stately town,
But the little boreen OF my heart
keeps ever drifting down
BY common ways and common graves
ana common homes, but Oh!
or all the roads in life it is the sweet
est road / know.

Russell LAUGHS
AT N. c. SUIT
Suggests Complainant, c. H.
Venner, May Want To Sell
Out His Holdings

The suit begun In the United States
district court here, Monday, on behalf
of the minority stockholders Of the
Michigan Central railroad against the
New York Central, IL part OF q con-
certed effort to break the latter's con-
troll OF parallel and competing lines
in the system, for similar suits have
been fled In the federal courts of
Securities Co., of New York. Of which
c. II. Venner Is president, II the com
plaihant. These are the same inter
ests that made an unsuccessful fight
against the consolidation of the New
York Central and Lake Shore lines
several months ago.
Complainant charges that through
the ownership of 80 per cent Of the
stock Of the Michigan Central. the
New York Central exercises illegal
control of the former road and IL thus
enabled TO divert business, and espe-
cially passenger business from the
Michigan road. II is charged that the
fastest passenger trains and the bet
ter class OF service generally are
maintained over the Lake Shore, a
competing line OF the same system.
This practice. the complainant repre-
sents, has resulted in considerab BILE
financial loss to Michigan Central
stockholders.
Henry Russell, general counsel for
the Michigan Central, does not at
tach much significance to the suit.
Mr.. venner, he says. has left rather
a "snaky' trail In his legal maneuv-
ers the past few years, With respect
TO railroad matters.
Perhaps his purpose is to make
some money out OF the few shares
he owns. less than hundred, I'm
sure" said Mr.. Russell. II doubt that
he has any associates In the action.
In the recent consolidation OF the
New York Central a Hudson River
with the Lake Shore. he was behind
the opposition. and the result was
that his interests were purchased at
a high figure before he was elm.
