Simply a DeluSion

II is not a fact that when you
buy a ton Of coal you shovel out
two tons OF ashes. 1t only seems so
to YOU because the coal man de-
livers the fuel in your bin with
out any work on your part and
YOU keep busy all winter shovel
ing the ashes out. The idea that
Won shovel out twice as much as
YOU get in is only delusfon. One
of the many reasons why the
Gasco Briquets are so popular In
Portland is that they have no ash
es at all. That certainly Is a boon
to the housekeeper. Gasco
Briouets are carbon and one ton
of them is equal to ton and a
half or more OF good coal. Instead
OF selling them on this basis, the
Portland Gas & Coke Co. gener-
ally manages to just about meet
the price of good. coal. This lib
eral policy explains the enormous
business they do: about sO,OOO,-
600 pounds OF them per year.
The Capital City Transfer Co.
OF this city has arranged to han
die them. On account of the Spe-
ciai Summer Price made in Port

Assembly to Test
Voting BY Machine

Voting by machinery may be test
ed by the General Assembly as a
time saver. A proposal has been re-
ceived by the House of Delegates
from the Thompson Voting Machine
Company, of Washington, D e., to
make the test free OF cost to the
State and to install complete sys-
ten on trial for use at the Begin
ninga of the next session.
Marshall F. Thompson, designer of
the system and vice-prcsident OF the
company, has been in the city for
several days in the interest Of his
company. Mr.. Thompson is nephew
Of ". II. Thompson, superintendent
Of the Fire Alarm Department of
this city, and son of Charles +.
Thompson, who was born in this city.
where he spent his boyhood days.
The purpose of the electrical vot-
ing system is to save the time now
wasted in, voting and calling the roll
in legislative assemblies. While it
requires ten or twelve minutes to
call the roll in the usual manner. the
entire operation can be performed by
the Thompson system in less than
thirty seconds. Such q system would
be of invaluable help in, the House
of Delegates as it would add week
or more to each session., and permit
of enactment of much legislation
which would otherwise fail because
the sessions are limited by the Con-
stitution to sixty days.
Floor leader Willis declared a few
days ago on the. floor of the House
that the time had arrived when an
electrical voting system is a ncces-
sity for disposing of the business of .
the House or the Constitution will .
have to be amended increasing the I
length of the sessions.-Evening
Dispatch.
Note, Mr.. Marshall F. Thompson,
the designer of the apparatus men
toned above, is an Alexandria boy,
having been born in this city and
educated in its public schools.

and eternal as its sisters. It
needed the shock and up
heaval of the World-War to
clear the reek and smoke of
materialis1n that obscured
the heavens and to display
the brightest star of the
three = Fraternity. The
World-war was inevitable-a
logical sequence Of the
French Revolution.
We call the principle of
Fraternity the greatest Of
the trinity-Liberty, Equal
ity, and Fraternity
the first two are of human
relationship only-while the
last recognizes the Divine as
supreme in the governance
of mankind. There can be
no other inference; the
brotherhood of man involves
inextricably and incontro-
vertibly, the fatherhood of
God!
1t has been three years
and more since the armistice
was signed. But the disturb
ances that have fretted Eu-
rope and the world since, are
the natural consequences Of
the birth of a new principle
in the affairs Of mankind
and that principle the might
lest and understanding Of
any since prehistoric ages.
Perhaps centuries instead of
years will be required for
the new adjustment. But
with the present alignments
and notifications fairly in
process, there is good reason
to hope that the next decade
or two will see the world
started in it's new path of
peace and international gov
eminent by law instead of
force. Man has conquered
both space and time within
the past hundred years. He
is even now on the verge OF
further startling discover
les that serve to annihilate
the physical limitations Of
his environment. This was
necessary, perhaps, before he
could achieve his complete
enfranchisement.
At any rate the European
situation is far better, and
the. recovery from the de-
Of war are far
rapid, than the read
justments after the French
Revolution.
This is the why and where

in which we began this edi-
sorial.

WORLD FRATERNITY

To one who has made a
study Of the condition of Eu-
rope for some years after
the French Revolution, there
is much ground for en-
enlargement in the Euro
pean situation at the present
time. We mention the
French Revolution of the
18th century, because that is
the only period in which to
seek an analogy to the World
War epoch. Revolutions
there had been before that,
just as bloody and relentless;
even of larger scope and
greater loss of life-but that
revolution, while confined to
French territory, was in
reality a world-revolution.
In other words two new prin-
ciples were set free among
the nations of the earth
those of liberty and equality.
The antecedent revolutions,
notably the American Revo-
luton, were not the climax
and elimination of preced-
ing centuries-as indubit-
ably was the Revolution Of
1889. The Anglo-SaXons had
attained their democracy
with the signing of the Mag
ma Carta in 1915. The sue
ceeding revolutions among
the English race were
but additions to and am
Publications. of that great
instrument, and solely ma
tional in their influence.
Whereas, with the French |
Revolution began the down
fall of monarchy and the pri-
vlleged classes. For the first |
time the world was made
aware of the fundamental
and abiding principles of
Democracy. The history of .
England was instructive
and that country was instru-
mental in pointing the way.
But the world needed the
shock of the Reign of Terror
and the fathomless deluge of
pamphlets that followed, to
fully arouse itself to a reali-
cation of the fact that all
men were created free and
equal. The shibboleth Of the .
Fren ch Revolution was
Liberty, Equality and Fra
ternity." The first two of
the trinity took their place
in the armament as shining
stars for the guidance of
mankind thenceforth and
forever. The last, however,
like a lost Pleiad, was still
invisible to the gaze of hui
anity-a although existent
