THE GLAD HAND FOR EDISON.

One of the exceptions to the rule that people
seldom appreciate a man who serves them Is tne
case OF Inomas A. Edison, who, with his Wlle'
RECENTLY visited the Electrical Exposition IN new
York. The inventor was easily the cnle1 az
TRACTION of the afternoon, and many OF the To-
600 persons, who were estimated to have been
present, almost fought the special Waterman 10
get a close view Of the guest and his Wl1e. -,
After he had seen the show, MIR. Edison SAID
that, in his opinion, it was women VINO would reap
the greatest blessings from applied electricity,
for within q few years electricity in the home
would have emancipated them from drudgery.
'.The development Of electricity as applied IN
the homes, the cleaners, and the many other
useful things is a great thing for women" says
the great inventor. 1T lightens labor in a way
that years ago was not even dreamed OF"
When Mr.. and Mrs. Edison entered the hall
the crowd began to surge about him. IN the
press that followed, Mrs. Edison became separat-
ed from her husband and she had to be rescued
and escorted to the Woman's Suffrage Party
booth. Mr.. Edison struggled through a lew
minutes a%fterward, with the guards loudly shout
ing, and with only partial success, Room, there;
keep the aisles open." In the rush a rail was
broken and some damage done to clothing. Once
inside the Enclosure, Mr.. and Mrs. Edison were
closely surrounded. "
He looked about and said, with a smile, i am
a believer in the right of women to vote" There
was a crowding slightly in his direction.
"When | see ignorant men voting" he con-
tinued.. 81 think it a shame that intelligent wom-
en- like we see here today cannot VOTE, l am
with you, heart and soul. l believe in woman's
suffrage"
The various exhibits interested him, but ever
his mind turned to the boys and girls who crowd
ed about him and whose work was in evidence.
Il am impressed with the fact that these boys
and girls will be enabled to get more out of life
because of what has been done" he said.
We have printed all Of this to introduce the
sentence above. In spite of the homage of the
crowd and his professional interest in the cleo
trical exhibits, the mind of this man turns to the
boys and girls and he thinks OF their life, which
will be bigger and happier because Of what has
been done"
This is true service and, we believe, his joy
comes first of all in the thought that through
his labor and skill the lives of the countless mil
lions who follow will 'be enabled to get more out
of life"
Hats off to Mr.. Edison!

WE NEED FAST BATTLE CRUISERS.

Some time ago Rear Admiral Peary made the
suggestion that the American navy maintain two
squadrons OF four battle cruisers each in the Pa
ciic Ocean and a similar pair of them in the At
lantic. We think the suggestion is a most excel
lent one and hasten to pass it on.
By their great speed as has been shown in the
European war the battle cruiser is excellently
adapted for quick and sudden offensive attacks
against distant lines of communications As an
enemy to successfully attack continental United
States would have to control the ocean over
which it's transports crossed the possession Of
fleets like these in both oceans would make that
control next to impossible.
Besides this, in the Pacific, we possess certain
islands, like Guam, the Hawaiian, Tutuila, the
Philippines and Unalaska, which are STRATEGY
cally the defensive line of our western shore.
Once these islands are fortified, and capable of
serving as bases for the fast battle cruiser
spuadrons it will take an adventuresome ene-
my to attempt to attack US before capturing
them first.
While the people of this country are first Of
all for peace we believe in adequate and reason
able preparedness as a means of keeping the
peace. We shall never use our navy to attack
or subjugate another country but we should be
prepared to defend our own at all times from
whatever quarter assailed.

QUART AND SQUIRREL LAWS
TO BE VOTED ON SEPARATELY
Mistaken Idea Abroad That Two Are Inseparable
Every Citizen of the State Should Go To
Polls and Cast Vote November 9TH.

The personal privilege argument is
not very consistent in view of the fact
that the old law limited the available
supply just as much as the new law,
the only difference being in the
amount that could be secured and the
shorter period between shipments. "
The chief argument of the friends
of the law is that it betters the indi-
vidual citizen, regulates and partly ex-
terminates blind tigers, and is more
beneficial to the State. The testimony
Of police officials all over the State,
judges, sherifs, county attorneys, and
others connected with the official life
of the counties and State, bears out
the claims of the Prohibitionists.
There are thousands of voters in
the State who are not tetotalers, but
who are going to vote for the quart
law. Their position is taken on the
ground that it is the best for the
State at large. If only those in the
State who never take a drink we're to
vote for the quart law the ants would
win without a struggle.

(By ]. Banding Haman.)


There is much speculation concern
ing the outcome of the election on the
Quart Law" and the Squirrel Law,
in this State, which is to be held at
the time of the general election, Tues
day, November 18th. AS a usual thing
each fellow sees indications of victory
for his side. The anti-quart-law fac
ton declare that victory is theirs in a
walk, while the friends of the law are
equally as emphatic in their state
,ment that the State will stand by the
law.
Regardless of statements and coun-
ter-statements both sides are fighting
the matter to a finish and no effort is
being neglected that could in any way
have any effect upon the outcome.
The chief argument of the anti
quart-law crowd is that the law cur
tails the privileges of the citizens of
the State by declaring they can have
only so much of any article in a pre-
scribed time. The law in force prior
to the new law limited whiskey ship
ments to a gallon a day to any citizen.

HONOR.

1t is the mother of the youngster who inJects
into his or her system the value of honor.
Sometimes father has time to stop reading his
paper and think things over. 1t is at this par
ticular time that he should think things not only
over but seriously. The youth of either sex is
susceptible. 1t can be easily influenced. At the
adolescent age the mind is easily controlled.
The true basis of distinction among men is
not in position or in possession. 1t is not in cir
cumstances of life. 1t is not in the conduct OF
our daily affairs.
It does not for a minute matter what a mans
position in the world may be. We are living in
a matter-of-fact age. 1t does not, in a common
sense way, matter how much money a man may
have. If there be defects in his behavior; if there
be shortcomings in his business transactions, if
some one can crook his finger, point at a man and
shrug his shoulders, his social and commercial
career is ruined.
Honor counts first.
The man without honor is without respect or
consideration. 1t is not wealth which gives us
place in a community; it is our conduct which
commands respect.
We should know no man above us but for his
virtues and no man below US but for his vices.
Entertaining this view, we should seek to i'm
itate the good, though it be found under a coarse
exterior, and to pity the evil, though it be clothed
in the finest garb and dwell in luxury.
We should never become obsequious in the
wrong place. We should call no man mean, low,
or apply any vulgar epithet to him because he
occupies an humble calling in life. The man who
cleans a sewer is just as good as the man who
turns the pages of a Bible and announces his
text, if his heart is in the right place and he
holds close to his honor.
In point of real worth and real manhood a
man may be morally superior to the president Of
+bo bo,1r ", bic bop1>ipr communicative
The ~virtuous and right-minded sons of toll
are, as time has recorded, natures noblemen."
They are lords Of good, lovers of nature, lovers of
each other. They may not have been born to
shine nor to have been the recipients of empty
honors, but they may have been born to be the
bulwark of the nation, and as such we should view
all men.-Commercial Appeal.

TODAY'S T H HONORS.

Sir William Mackenzie, ranked as
n of Canada's twenty-three pillars
of finance, because of his intimate con-
nection with banking and railroad af-
fairs, was born October 30, l849, at
Kirkfeld, Victoria County, Ont. After
he finished school he taught for a
while, but then soon branched out into
railroad business. The list of presi-
denotes which he holds reads like a
Cretan maze of railroads and public
utilities. The biggest system Of which
he is head, however, is the Canadian
Northern Railway.
