THE EDISON TEST


 Have you an XYZ intellect? Take the Thomas Edison test and see for yourselfi
 The Eletrical Wizard puts a list of questions before all applicants for positions in the Edison laboratories. XYZ represents the Edison code for "dumbell," and he declares that more college men qualify for this rating than any other type of applicants.
 
 The first few questions in the Edi- son examination are given herewith. And. as an aid to young men aspiring to a future in the electric light and phonograph record world, we print the answers:
 O. What is copra?
 A. Copra is a species of snake. It inhabits the tropical forests. the Ringing sideshow, and all first class geological gardens.
 O. Where is Magdalena Bay? A. Exactly where it has always been.
 O.. How did Cleopatra die? A Very irregularly. She was bit ten by the copra referred to in ques- tion No. l.
 c. What are felt hats made of? A. Felt.
 e. What is the greatest depth of the ocean?
 A. It depends upon what ocean you are referring to. For all practical and Pacific are recommended as suf- ficiently deep. however.
 Other Questions 1. Give the boundaries of Gorgan- zola
 2 How long is piece of string?

congressman who voted dry take drink? It is unthinkable.
 Music is also a famous quickener recently been used as a therapeutic in insane asylums and as a means of preventing mutiny in penitenti aries Why should it not be tried on congress? The legislators might do a better days work if they began each morning. like school children, by singing Columbia, the Gee of the Ocean," or My Country, 'Tis of Thee" But here again difficulties are encountered Authorities have expressed doubt whether there is enough musical talent in the house and senate combined to carry a tune
 There remain the ladies. There is no such thing as a congressman who is not responsive to feminine beauty. That a gallery of beauti fully gowned women would be pro vocative of better speeches is a fact too obvious to need detailed consid- eration, especially in view of the fact that the ladies would be voters as well as charmers. Then. too, women now sit in congress. and it is natural that they should wish to be represented in the galleries a we'll
 Finally, there is abundant prece- dent for the custom. In nearly all civilized countries there is a more social atmosphere about parliamen- tary proceedings than in this coun- try. Society attends upon the Eng fish house of commons on certain oc- casions, as it does also upon the French chamber of deputies. And those who are averse to following foreign precedents can find one nearer home. There was a time when Albany was one of the great social centers of America, and when the meeting Of the New York legisla- ture was a social occasion of great brilliance. Nor is it of record that the quality of either the legislators or the quality of either the legislators then.
 Again. the beginning of a connec- tion between society and our nation al government have already been made here in Washington. Since for mer President Wilson inaugurated the custom of reading presidential messages to congress there has been a growing tendency for society to at tend the readings and the new ad- ministration has shown an increase in that tendency. These message days have lent to our shirt sleeved. perspiring congress a touch of dig nifty and splendor which surely the legislature of a great nation should have.

Mir. Gompers' Prophecy

Mir Gompers surely is not trying to scare when he tells that if labor unions should die there will be another by which may infer anything from revolution sovietsm h. archy.
 The labor unions not going to die. No forward looking man wants them to die movement contemplates no such thing but only when it unrestrained. There may be fessed "open shop" people who would like the unions wiped and their charters destroyed, but such people without sympathy of the great fair minded majority who recognize the right of labor to organizze for its benefit and to be entitled to all the benefits of organization.
 We encourage the organization of all legitimate activities, the agricultural industry, the manufac- turing industry. We favor the association of because it is contributory to efficiency
 But when organization becomes a conspiracy against the rights others that different thing. If illegal organization it is an immoral ganzation whether it is composed of laboring employers, and it invites immoral organization to oppose it.
 We then have disorder in some form or other and intervention constituted authority is called for.
 We do not share the apprehension of Mr. Gompers that would have revolution as the always been successful putting down class upris- ings and have not the slightest doubt that it would quickly quei any questioning of its authority.

WASHINGTON, D. C., May 12.-A propaganda which has for Its puf- pose to make some of the sessions of coigress social sessions of the Iirsl importance. to fill the galleries Witn beautiful women, dot the splehoio terraces of the Capitol with tea ta- bles. and generally tighten and beau tifv the monotonous business or fair sex to take an interest in 1t. has just been initiated by MT. Harry Vii son Walker. well known as botn a Journalist and politician.
 It is understood that Mir. Walker is backed in his campaign Tor so- cial atmosphere in congress oy certain wealthy congressman who chooses to remain for the tune pc ing anonymous, and that great m terest has been awakened in social circles. The ladies are said to take to the idea with relish.
 It may seem to you that thls IS not a project of the first 1mpor- tance. but that is because you have not talked with MT. Walker about It. He claims that the stimulus Of rem mine beauty in the galleries IS Just what congress needss that the reah- zation oh his project will make the Congressional Record more interest ing, will raise the level of debate and speed the dispatch of business
 Many have noticed that Congress seems to exist in a perpetual state of lethargy. It is hard to gather a quorum for the transaction Of bust ness. When the bell rings for roll call, the members respond slowly, re- luctantly, and with yawn. Depate tends to be voluminous rather than spirited. The typical member of congress is slow in starting speech, but when once he gets under way he seems to be the victim of echolalia. Words roll out of him in an endless monotonous stream to the rhythm of snores from his colleagues. In the gallery a few tourists from rub berneck wagon look on apathetically and wonder when those scenes of animation they have read about in their school books will take place The reporter asleep in the press gal lery knows that such scenes are ex- tremely rare, and that they are char acterized by chaos rather than by brilliance.
 A Stimulus for Congress
 MT. Walker is not responsible for this picture of congress in action but he does say that what congress needs is a tonic, a stimulant.
 What are the time-honored stim- ulants of mortal man? Certainly woman stands first among these. Wine. of course. has been regarded as a stimuIant in the past, but il is now abolished, especially from the halls of congress. For how could a

 Snowman Originated Idea
 Harry Miner was a theater owner of New York whom no doubt many readers of this will remember. They also remember that he defeated the famous Tim Campbell for seat in congress. Campbell is the man who immortalized himself by his reply to President Cleveland when the latter objected to some plan of MT. Camp bells on the ground that it was against the constitution
 But what is the constitution be- tween friends, MT. President7" in- quired Tim. And his words have gone echoing down the years. gain ing significance as they go.
 At any rate, Mir. Campbelrs career in congress came to an end wher Mir. Miner ran against him. His defeat is said to have been due pri- marily to the fact that he was seer lunching with the British ambassa dor.
 Many wondered at that time why the famous theatrical magnate want ed a seat in congress. But his friends knew the reason. Miner was deeply
 
 of that day and one of the most beautiful women who ever graced the American stage MT. Miner thought that one way of impressing the lady would be to go to congress and make a great speech. With true theatrical instinct-he no doubt pictured the whole scene to himself-the crowded house, the galleries filled with beau tiful women and distinguished men all of them hanging upon his words He had a fine presence and wore in his necktie an enormous diamond which was alone enough to focus the eyes of the multitude upon him. He also had a good voice. All that he needed was a speech, and being a wealthy man he could easily buy that.
 But when the snowman took his seat in congress he was bitterly dis appointed He found that the drama which he proposed to stage faced a chronically poor house. It was crowd ed only when it had some important business under way and then he was unable to get the favor of the speak CT. He could not very well ask his fair one to come and take her place among a few farmers and school children in the gallery and listen to nm haGdnSuiflS ndii a uOZen col leagues.
 Accordingly he launched a lobby for a ladies' night at the capitol and he hired Mir. Walker a young jour nalist. to write him a speech on the subject MT Walker testifies that he wrote the speech and collected $200 for it. but that MT. Miner nev- CT delivered it because Speaker Reed wouldn't let him.
 its a good idea. Harry, but you are ahead of your time" the czar of the house is reported to have said. He advised NIT. Miner to wait until ladies had made for themselves more of place in politics.
 That time. says Mir. Walker has surely come. Harry Miner married his beloved without making any speech in congress. He has been dead many years. The beautiful woman who inspired the idea of la dies night at the capitol still lives in New York. If the project is ever realized. Mir Walker says, she and Harry Miner should get a share of the credit.
