MIR. Edison Leaves the Greatest
Problem Untouched.

II Mr.. EDIsoN's speculations on lift
and death are correctly reported b,
the Scientific American, as we assume
them to be, the theory Of the master
and indefatigable empire
on these subjects Of universal interes
and supreme Importance Is fairly Sc
forth in these paragraphs taken from
his interview:
81 believe that life. like matter, is
indestructible. There has always been
certain amount OF life on this
world. and there will always be the
same amount You cannot create
life: you cannot destroy life; you
cannot multiply life.
81 believe our bodies are composed
Of myrlads and myriads of infinitesi-
nal entities, each In itself a unit of
life, which band together TO build a
Perhaps the entities in our bodies
are 95 per cent. workers and per
cent. directors. At any rate, 1t is the
ensemble of all these entities which
gives US our physical form. mental
properties. personality. and so on.
"Once conditions become unsasis-
factory in the body. either through
fatal sickness. fatal accident or did
age, the entities simply depart fr ,nl
the body and leave title more than
an empty structure behind.
"At any rate. there Is n flxed num-
Der of these entities. and 1t is The
same entities that have served over
and over again for everything in this
universe Of ours. although the vari-
Gus combinations Of entities huve
given us an erroneous impression Z
new life and still new life for ca IN
generation
THE entities live forever. You
cannot destroy them. just the same as
you cannot destroy matter"
Mr.. EDISON is not dogmatic he II
marks in one place that "obviousl,
the entire matter is one of conjec
ure." He is engaged in the constru'
ton of a machine with the aid {
which he hopes to be able to lear
something. at least, Of the truth of th
problems which have engaged til
deepest thought Of mankind from tim
immemorial.
But assuming that Mr.. EDIsoN's ell
CINE Of inquiry into life and deaf
fulfils its makers ambition, verifit
his theory and sustains his conjecture
concerning their habits and function
1t will plainly leave the inquirer in
highly unsatisfactory state of ign,
rance unless it reveals the source frol
which the immortal entities Mr.. Ed
SON envisages originally derived the
form and were endowed with the
life, and were assigned to the par
they play.
In short, Mr.. EDISON does not in h
present speculations and proposed Il
quiry touch the supreme probler

two months ago for action bv civic or

the city council. Although the eoun.
Gil voted two weeks ago to defer ae-
ton on the playground issue until its
meeting Monday night in order to af.
ford the eouncilmen to investigate for
themselves, the issue was continued

the hands of the park commission for
action.
A representation of the Rotary club
appeared before the council Monday

struct wading pool for children.
Action Not Definite.
In referring it to the park commits
sion the council merely instructed
them to bring in a report on the "ad-
visibility of purchasing" the property.
The city may acquire the property for
the payment of due street assessments
and the refunding of past assessments,
totaling in all about S470O.

and Foes
Are Given Treat
In ArmOry Talk

According to Montavilla Flowers
eampaigner for General Leonard
Wood, there are two predominant
mind classifieations in the United
States, at the present time.
These are the subjective and OH
jective minds" stated Mr.. Flowers.
"the subjective mind is that of the
idealist, the theorist, who makes eff
forts to create pretty world and who
finally scars to the skies, grasping
the stars and beckoning us to do the
same. The league of nationists, the
socialist and the bolshevist are Of
these classes
"The true objective mind is for
General Wood" stated the speaker,
who evidently assigned those who
thought differently from himself, to
the first mentioned class.
Brick and Bouquet
At the armory, Monday night, Mr..
Flowers entertained his audience of
about 400 persons with glowing sketch
es of the military candidates, Ex-
tensive personal description of the
presidential candidate took a large
portion of the orators efforts. When
exhausted of laudatory remarks con-
Ieerning General Wood. Mr.. Flowers
turned his attention 30 criticism of
any and all other candidates and
their supporters. He took a sharp
fling at Senator Charles McNary, who
recently declared himself for Hiram
Johnson, and intimated that the Ore
gon senator should be punished iur
his remission in failing to support
Wood.
Resents Opposition
One portion of Mr.. Flowers address
was directed at the Capital Journal
special umbrage being taken at a
portion of the Capital Journal edit
orial in which General Woods lilly
defined stand on, the league of nations
was pointed out. The Capital Journal
editorial had also repeated the nation
wide Interrogation as to who were
Woods financial supporters. In his
haste to spank the press, the cam
paigner failed to show that he had
other than very meagre information
concerning the source of the expense
money for the extensive Wood pfopa-
ganda campaign. The writer of the
editorial not being in attendance, a
fiery challenge issued by Mr., Flowers
brought no contenders.
He stated that General Wood was
for the league of nations, with res
ervations." Whether or not rn,'se
reservations" would prove to be as
destructive as frank opposition, the
orator did not pause to make clear.
With frequent illusions to genuine
Americans, George Washington and
Abraham Lincoln, the speaker en-
deavored to retain the interest of his
audience.
A concert preceded the grafton,
many persons manifesting sincere APP
probation of the pleasing numbers
rendered by Miss Ada Miller.
