Woodrow Wilson Is q man

there, and he has no vote in
Washington. o..

his Importance will call useful
attention to the disgraceful
fact that all living at the Ma

pariahs. They live where they

- new civilization, upsetting
ancient empires and laws.
Edison in the great General
Electric plant has seen his
ideas of long ago grown into
Q new mechanical and indus
trial world.
In his youth he struggled to
get light from electricity, run

his hands an incandescent bulb
Of 100000 candle power. He
had worked with little magnets,
In many ways. There he saw
them powerful enough to lift
tons. ..
But there was something even
more important in that electric
factory. That was Steinmetz,

She killed him because she
wanted another man-so the
Jury believed. II she had
ikilied her husband because she
wanted HIM, she would prob

But you must not kill your own
husband or wife because you
want another. Juries won't
permit that. We have our
