The Washington herald., 1915-01-03

While the fire was raging during the
night Edison's closest friends urged him
to go to bed and to rest. He would
listen to none Of them, and then Mrs.
Edison came along with a quiet and
kindly command. There was no protest
from Edison this time and to bed he
went.
Just as Mrs. Edison took care of her
husband during the fire so she takes
care Of him nearly every minute during
their more normal life. Practically her
entire work in life is looking after the
great American genius. She is the only
boss that he obeys. Down at the big
plant they called her the "missus" and
every man in the place knew that she
took care of the "Old man" like a mother.
They know, too, that if his life is pro-

When that sooner or later" arrives
If it ever does-Edison actually will
have to be in Milan before there'n be any
fuss made about welcoming him.
Last summer Milan had an "old
home week" and sent to Edison leather
bound invitation signed by every man,
woman and child in the city, asking him
to attend. Until the last minute Milan
understood its invitation had been ac-
cepted. Then, Just as the welcomers
were getting ready to welcome, instead
Of Edison came a telegram saying he
couldn't come.
Two years ago Edison was expected
to dedicate new high school in Milan
On the program he was referred to as "a
man of whom Milan and the whole world
is proud" But Edison didn't deliver the
principal address Of the evening" In
stead, another telegram OF regret on
account of pressing business which
makes 1t impossible for me to attend"
was all Milan got from its favored son.
Nobody in Milan can guess why Edison
shuns his birthplace. But everybody
does know that he isn't going to be in
Vited to any more of the towns "doings"
and that he isn't going to get any more
chances to break Milan's civic heart and
the individual hearts of 1900 Milanites
Milan doesn't like these explanations
and long distance regrets. The people
of the town just take it for granted that
Tom is too good for the old folks at
home"
1t has taken them years to reach this
conclusion-they have suffered numer-
Gus disappointments-b now they are
ready to believe it. And it doesn't make
Milan feel one bit prouder of her favored
son.
''If only he'd drop in a few minutes
next time he's this way" said Williams.
I'VE old folk would forgive him for all
the times he's kind O. made Monkeys OF
us But we're never going to invite him
again-and that goes
So. Mr. Edison. if YOU want to win
back the friendship Of YOUR boyhood
DAYS, you'd better include Milan H. WIZ
itinerary when you are taking next surr-
mer's rest.
And IL you do include your hirIhuIu.e
don't let anything prevent yoir sc:riua

No More Edison Celebrations Planned at Milan

we're arranged ito look Just like Tom
left the old place"
Then John L. Williams, Milan's old
est citizen, for a third time was ap-
pointed chairman of the Edison reception
committee. The date set for Edison's
visit was Williams ninety-ninth birth
day. Williams was one of the first to
congratulate the proud parents Of Tom"
when he wasn't more than a couple Of
minutes old. That was February II.
1S47. He planned to do himself and all
Milan proud in his welcome to the
wizard of Menlo Park" But his fine
speech never was delivered.
While williams was busy among the
men OF the town planning all kinds of
things to make Tom" glad he came
back to the old place, Mrs. Nancy Wads-
worth and her daughter Maud we're hav-
ing daily conferences with the women
folk. Dishes that everybody remem-
bered as having been particularly liked
by Tom" when he was "a chit of hoy"
were prepared 1t was the biggest ban
Quet Milan ever had. But the noun
tain of food went uneaten-at least the
Edison palate was tickled by none of It,
Martin Harter, ninety-five, Milan's
druggist who remembers "hustling over
to the Edsons with paregoric for little
Tom" and George Schaefer, ninety-one,
were honorary members of the reception
committee. They, too, were ready to
make public speeches extolling their fel
low townsman, and secretly planned a
number Of quiet little meetings where
we can reminisce a little with Tom"
For weeks all Milan was in a fever
of excitement When Milan read in the
morning papers that Edison was in
Cleveland. was going to his wife's home
at Akron for a few days and then was
going to Milan for a good, long rest, it
began to count the days. The town was
gaily decorated. Everybody had their
Sunday best all ready to don in the
morning.
Then came the evening papers. II was
only 4 short dispatch in an obscure cor.
ner. but ten of its words made MILAN
moan In grief. For. under an Akron
date. was the announcement that Edison
hcd changed his mind and would have
to put of his visit to Milan until some
other time.
Milan was so disappointed 1t coulda't
speak for some time. Then old John

PROBLEM
That's Theory of Man Who
Has Been Called Greater
Wizard Than Edison.

TN every city in the country charitable
and civic organizations are trying to
solve the problem OF the unem-
ployed.
Surveys are being made, vast sums are
being expended to try to learn what is
best to do with the great workless army
that has become a part of every COM
munity-a part that must be reckoned
with. Giving charity" to the out-of-
work is not the solution They must
have work. at least enough to let them
earn their own support.
With this condition worrying all Amer
lea, along comes Charles Proteus Stein
metz, wizard Of electricity, employed by
the General Electrical Company at a fab
ulous salary, and offers solution.
HE'D RID THE WORLD OF WORK
This coming from a man who is the
embodiment Of hard work, a man who
spends eighteen or twenty hours a day
in electrical research, might lead one to
believe he was laughing at the world.
But Steinmetz is not. He's just as sure
that his plan to end the unemployment
bugaboo would be a success as he is sure
that the sun rises in the east and sets in
the west
Years ago, in his native town, Breslau
Germany. SteinmetZ was what the people
of his day called a dreamer. His ideas
were socialistic. Long before the pro-
gram OF Socialism had been worked out
to its present stage, Steinmetz held the
ideas that now are accepted by hundreds
of thousands as the ideal form of govern
ment.
For holding those ideas Steinmetz was
driven from Germany. Twenty-Five years
ago he landed in America penniless. He
became a craftsman. His interest CEN
tered In electricity. He became a wizard,
often referred to as even greater than
Edison. Today his salary would make
the $4,000 a year paid the President of
the United States look like pocket
. money for an afternoons shopping"
Steinmetz is human dynamo that
never loses its current. But he doesn't
believe in others working the way he
does.
IF we would rid the world OF work
that is. the long hours Of drudgery that
we have come to look upon merely as a
days work-we soon would solve the
problem of the unemployed" Steinmetz
recently said in his Schenectady, N. Y.
home. Eight hours is not considered too
long a day by the average workman.
Many work ten or more hours. In no
case do they earn much more than

It is because this handsome, quiet, steady
going woman. who always has a smile on
her face, is always near him to keep the
troublesome, worrying little things out Of
his life.

there that Edison goes for rest whenever
he is tired. Sometimes he goes there

who is quite sure that he is tired and
makes him take a rest.
An unusual atmosphere Of quiet sur
rounds the place. II you press the bell
at the door you cannot hear 1t ring and
the man who answers the bell walks as
quietly as a cat. Mrs. Edison dresses as
quietly as 1t is possible for any woman
to dress.
She is a rather plump woman Of medi-
um height. She has beautiful brown
hair which waves back from her face in
a girlish manner Her complexion has
that clear, colorful quality which is to
be found in one who is very much in the
open air. She has a round, motherly
sort of a chin and a smile which seems
to say that she understands everything.
He hasn't any regular habits, my hus-
band hasn't" says MRS. Edison. He
goes to bed and gets up at all sorts Of
times. he eats any time of the day or
night, and he has no regular diet Some
people think he is a vegetarian, but he
eats wild game, beef. lamb, almost any
thing. There is just one thing he insists
upon and that is his meat must be well
cooked
He never eats cereals salads or un-
cooked foods OF any sort. He believes
that if you boil foods or bring them up
to a temperature Of 215 degrees it de-
stroys all germs and especially removes
all danger from typhoid.
He never takes what other people
call exercise. All day at the works he
is on his feet and he thinks that is
enough exercise for him. 1t is very sell
dom he does any walking outdoors. But
he likes his garden and very often works
in it. He also does a great deal OF no.

Washington. Then the unemployed
didn't know what they wanted, and
Washington didn't know what they want
ed 1t to do. But ideas have crept into the
government since then. If an army
marched on to Washington today they
would know definitely that they wanted
the government to give them employ
ment. And the government would"
Argument fails to shake Steinmetz in
his opinions. You have asked me to
solve the unemployment problem. have
told you how 1t can , done.
Rid the world of work"
Although Steinmetz's views are wholly
Socialistic, the great inventor doesn't
look for Socialism to carry out his ideas.
Business itself will work the change, he
says:
Business itself is organizing to re-
duce waste" says Steinmetz. 1T is
eliminating the unnecessary work OF
competitive salesmanship and is INSTALL
ing automatic machinery. Labor is or
ganizing and demanding shorter hours.
The people are organizing and assuming
more and more control of industry
through the national government. Even
the unemployed themselves are catching
the spirit and are kicking up a racket
that would have been impossible few
years ago"
Referring to what so often is called
the 81 won't work army this man OF
miraculous industry declares: They
rebel not against unemployment. but
against the conditions that make unem-
ployment SO tragic. 1t is a good sign
when the unemployed are neither willing
to starve to death in meek submission
nor be thankful for a chance to do So
ciety's meanest work and drudgery.
eliminating child labor by giving
children an opportunity to study while
their minds are young instead of forcing
them into factories to deaden body and
brain would go long way toward max
ing the race happier.
I'VE can't bring up children to the
drudgery of the factory and expect them
to develop" says Steinmetz.

enough to live upon. By living 1 mean
providing enough food, sufficient cloth
ing and other necessities to keep them
alive.
This is wrong. The world should be
rid of hard work A four-hour day is
enough for a workman. In this time he
could produce enough to provide for his
needs. Under this system he would have
more time for social life, for reading and
for improving his mind. Society, instead
OF being impoverished, would be en-
riched.
"a little drudgery. perhaps, always
will be necessary. This is not hardship
when associated with the things we like
to do. AS long as the disagreeable things
OF life must be done, there should be a
premium paid to those who must do
them"
Those who deal with the unemployed
in all the large cities agree that Stein
metz has a "cure for their ill., that would
be ideal IL It could properly be worked
out. But, they say, no matter II the
workday was reduced to four hours and
the number of employed suddenly more
than doubled, there still would be unem-
plOyed.
What could be done with the barnacles
on the keel of society that refuse to
work under any conditions? they ask.
And they answer themselves by saying
that, like perpetual motion. theirs is a
problem that may never be solved. To
adopt Steinmetz's plan would be to re-
duce the earning power of thousands to
euuaIize the tens of thousands that now
have no earning power.
Steinmetz doesn't agree with this
theory.
THE situation today is serious" says
Steinmetz," but it cannot be compared
with the situation of twenty years ago,
when Coxey's army marched on to
