ED1soN's FINANCIAL SYSTEM.

AT the request of his friend Henry Ford, Thorn
as A. Edison has undertaken the formulation of an
entirely new monetary system which should be free
from the defects which are usually admitted to ex-
list in the present system. 1t is not clear why Mr..
Ford did not tackle this job himself. On the strength
OF his demonstrated success as a manufacturer he
has assumed in general the airs of omnipotence. and
has undertaken to settle in a few minutes problems
which have bothered the world for quite some
time. The idea that the solution of the monetary
problem is beyond his powers is inadmissible. 1t
must be concluded, therefore. that he wished to con-
fer a favor on his friend, when he asked Edison to
look after this little matter.
Mr.. Edison has brought to the problem the
, powers of a mind sharpened and quickened by a
lifetime of devotion to the work of invention. tt
describe the value of Edison's contributions to-the
J worlds progress one would have to deal entirely in
tsuperlatives, and When the superlatives were ex-
hausted. scant justice, would have been done to the
I subject. But when Edison undertakes to invent a
new money system he is out of his element, and the
tresults OF his effort demonstrate that fact.
In brief, MIR. Edison proposes to substitute for
the gold standard OF currency a general commodity
standard. He holds that there is nonsense in basing
our currency OH a particuia. metal, chosen arbitrar-
lilly. and one which, for other purposes, is useful only
in a very limited way. He proposes, therefore, that
money be issued based on the value Of wheat, cot
;ton and other commodities, in a certain ratio to
1.-The market price Of those commodities for a term
lof years.
ACCIDENTALLY there is more logic in a commod-
ity currfncy than in a gold-based currency. That
idea is by no means original with Mr.. Edison. But
|the world clings to a currency based on one of the
lrarer and more costly metals such a currency has a
stability which it is not believed possible to i'm
)part to any other. Mr.. Edison's theory NAV be per
lfectly good-as a theory. When it comes to apply
ling it, the value of Our dollar would depend, in the
Hast analysis, on what some individual, or board, or
commission, said it should be worth. No matter
how sound the other features may be. that objection
Ms fatal.

WHY THE DIFFERENCE?

When the league spokesme, get all through
explaining the result OF the election, the fact re-
mains that Frazier received some $4,000 votes less
than Nestos. WHY'S that? =
The two names appeared i'll the same column
on the ballot. Both had the same advantage aris-
ing from the Republican label. Frazier's name
came first. 1t headed the column. The head Of
the ticket usually receives the largest vote.
The simple fact is that a large majority Of the
people of North Dakota had determined that they
were through with the kind of government that the
radical leaders had given them, and Though for
igopd. gOf that number a few could not bring them
selves to vote for a Democrat for the United States
senate, and preferred, for the purposes of this cleo
ton. to accept the Republican label which Frazier
thad assumed as genuine.

THIS SHRINKING WoRLD.

( Washington's counsel that the United States
should avoid entangling alliances with other
nations was sound when it was uttered, and will
renaain sound, regardless of time or circumstance,
Sprovlded a reasonable construction is placed upon
At. Interpreted as it has often been, it would have
ibeen a foolish utterance.
It has always>.been poor policy on the part of
iany nation to enter into compacts with another of
lslch a nature as to create an obligation to support

Iahected by the changing of the seasons or the mu-
nations of the centuries.
But Washington, being a sane, practical man.
would would nave been the first to reject the notion that
many have sought to attribute to him that even in
his time the United States could consider itself a
Enation apart from all others, having no interest in
lthe problems which perplexed them, and Indifferent
Rs to how. the rest of the world conducted itself.
In his time It took three weeks of good sailing

Washington. D. c., Nov. 10.-When
the Washington housewife bustles
about filling her basket in old Center
Market nowadays she is really doing
business with Uncle Sam. The Ma
tional Capital is SO used to federal
control of its affairs that the govern
ment's entrance into the market bust
ness has aroused little comment. The
same fat butchers and spry green
grocers attend their stalls. Business
at Center Market goes on just as it did
before the department of agriculture
took charge last April. Yet Center
Market represents a e and unusual
government activity.
Since the District OF Columbia was
established, the. government has
owned the land on which this market
stands When the plan of the CAPT.
tai was approved by George Washing
ton, a piece of land in a convenient
down town location was set aside for
q central market place.
For years uns~atisfaclory market
buildings stood there until in 1870
congress authorized the incorporation
Of a Washington Market company.
The law provided that at the end of
80 years the government would can
eel the charter and pay the company
for the buildings and improvements.
The government did not claim this
right, however, until this year.
In April, the project was taken over
by the bureau of markets in the de-
|partment Of agriculture. The govern
ment now owns the buildings. rents
out the stalls, fixes the rules for san-
|~atation and quality Of food. and in
general conducts g.. thriving market
business from its Office upstairs.
1t Is very much like a laboratory

and desults. after which he can re-
count the whole thing tor the benefit
Of others. Nhe department Of agri-
culture experts are studying their
market with the idea of helping com
munities that may have market trou-

It has been prophesied that the
