! Mr.. Edison and Sleep.

Mr.. Edison says sleep is bad habit
and that we shall some day get over
1t. Like drinking and smoking, it lis
to be among those things which we
shall try in time to, give up on. the
first of the year, He says people
called him crazy VIXEN he said that
electricity would supplant all other
motive power in transportation, and
one therefore hesitates to say that
he is crazy about anything. However,
we will hazard a guess thatN if he is
off his box anywhere, it is with re-
spect to the pleasant custom of in.
dulging ourselves a good sound snooze
How else we are to refresh ourselves
from the days work we cannot mag.
inc.
The trouble with this objection, as
it applies to Mr., Edison, is that he
doesn't think we are wearied by the
days work. He and some of his as
sociates worked at something for a
given period of twenty-one hours, a
day, and they all gained weight. He
leads US on to infer that it is what
We do when we are not working that
wearies us.
Thinking over it briefly, we believe
there is something in that. Prob
ably half the things we do in our
leisure time is very hard work. The
celebrated tired business man is
only tired when his wife wants him
to go out somewhere after dinner.
II is the opera and the fox trot that
wears him out.
Still. think of giving UP sleep! II
it is a habit, it is nice one. We
have got some glimpses of what Mr..
Edison means when we have tried to
sleep in a chair car, but given
feather bed and soft pillow. we
don't get him at all. Last night. for
instance. Wasn't the habit delicious
last night?

Bryan and Webster and Clay.

Once man gets the office bee in
his bonnet there is nothing short OF
dishonor he won't do to obtain. the
prize. The higher the stake, the more
desperate the endeavor.
Many an eminent citizen of the
American republic has gone down to
his grace with bitterness in his heart
because his countrymen failed to be,
stow on him the great office of presi.
dent.
Henry Clay is possibly the most
conspicuous example. Next after him
Stephen A. Douglas. Then Jomn c.
Calhoun. These prior to the Civil
War.
After the great conflict is James G..
Blaine, with William Jennings Bryan
close second.
1t is a Iaudable ambition, of course.
But it is apt to cloud ones vision and
to warp ones judgment. The sense
OF proportion is lost to the man who
has set his heart on any purpose the
elimination of which Is his own gain
or glory.
Mr.. Bryan went to the Chicago
convention In 1896 with the set pur.
pose of capturing the nomination in
the manner that he did. He has
never for one moment taken his eye
from the presidentil chair When
free silver failed he tried anti.im-
perialism, and when that failed he
raised the cry, Let the people rule"
1t is common belief that Mr.. Bryan
went to the Baltimore convention to
tag the nomination and hence what
many regard as open treachery to
Champ Clark, his consistent friend
and supporter from the day he was
first nominated at Chicago. This
plank in the Baltimore platform is
said TO have bCET i1svrtpt there WI with
out dissensioa at Mr.. Bryan's in.
stance:
1--WE favor single presidential
term, and to that end we urge the
adoption of an amendment to the con-
stitution making the president negli-
gible for reelection and we pledge
the candidate of this convention to
this principle"
Having that for guide. MIR. Bryan.
unless all signs fail, has been for
the past three years playing the cards
to win the Democratic nomination this
year and thus have one more try for
the presidency. His peace propaganda
and his resignation from the cabinet
had but one meaning and events be-
tween now and the st. Louis conven.
ton will show this. OF course the
Nebraskan will not so so far as to bar
the way to Democratic favor in 1920;
he must be adroit right here, which
quality his worshippers insist he does
not possess. but let that pass.
No one can quarrel with Mr. Bryan
for wishing to realize on an ambi-
tion that has been his meat and
drink both night and day for %
years. He is in the same boat with
Clay. Calhoun and Webster; with
Blaine, Sherman and Champ Clark.
1t is remarkable fact. however, that
the men who have schemed the most
for the prize are the ones who never
came into the promised land In fact,
the most of those reaching the pres
idency have been unknown in the
realms of statesmanship--m men little
or never thought of in this connec-
ton until thrust by circumstances
into the limelight.
Should Mr.. Bryans hopes never
come to fruition he can at least find
consolation in the fact that he is in
company.

one of these disappearing affairs-frst
YOU saw it and then you didn't. In
the court formed by the several build
inss the field events were run off the
large gallery sitting around the edges
in chairs and adding greatly TO the at
tractiveness of the scene. But the
space was not big enough to hold the
whole 500 yards of the relay race. so it
had to be run around the buildings.
The first squad started off at the pop
of the gun-only there wasn't any gun
and then disappeared hot foot around
one of the large and ornamental build
ingS which Uncle sam has provided to
house some phase of the multifarious
work that goes on at the bureau of

While the crowd waited brea thlessly
according to the best writing. anyway
the runners were racing around some

not out OF mind. During the time the
racers were some where in Chevy

But the runners soon came tripping
IT around the other end of the build
ing. and the second squad was off to
repeat the now-you- see til e -now-you-
don't stunt. There may have been other
squads let loose the far side of the
building, but nobody got out of their
chairs to investigate personally. All
they knew was that the race was finally

Little Opposition Expected.

There Will be no opposition to this
combined revenue measure and tariff
commission board idea, except the usual
denunciation BY the republicans of all
things democratic.
TIL republicans do not seem to hav.
formulated any real attack on either
the tax measure Or the Rainey tariff
commission bill. for the reason that il
viii do them little or no good to op-
pose it, The matter probably will be
thrown on to the floor of the House
in such shape that there will be no
method of voting against any parti-
cular part of the measure. and all the
republicans VINO will oppose it can do
will be to talk.
The tariff commission idea is one
over which there can be considerable
talk, too. The democrats will declare
that they are now giving the country
what the republicans long urged-a
tariff commission. The republicans
Will declare that the Rainey bill pro-
vides for tariff commission which
can do nothing but convene and read
the minutes of the last meeting: in
other words, the criticism of the Rainey
tariff commission by the republicans is
that it creates a body which has no
power.
The democrats in reality do not wish
to revise the tariff, and they show il
in this proposed tariff commission"
said Representative Fordney of Michi-
and means committee. They showed
they wanted nothing to do with tariff
commissions when they ignored the re-
ports Of the last tariff commission

ton"
