Of vision. it is generally conceded
that broadcasts should be devoted
TO studio programs, particularly to
close-ups of singers and come
dams. Participants in drama or
fast-moving scene, bobbing in and
out of the picture, would only con-
fuse the radio audience.
Mey1e film strips are raore easily
transmitted. and it is probable
that some time is to elapse before
live talent will be successfully en-
ployed. Only the novelty of the
thing could interest any one
watching football game, for in
stance, or air races on a screen
the size of a shoe box.
One editor would show only the
sponsors product, while an Indi-
ana editor evoked critical disdain
on the entire setup. Said the
Hoosier, Scrap the whole thing.
You can carry this so-called scien-
tiflc advancement too far. Let
the nation catch up a little and
discard the desire to get some
place else all the time"
Nevertheless, 1886 is to witness
the advent of applied television,
which, until better developed, will
not replace the theater or picture

impossible that a young man of IS, the
governor of the vast territory of Louis
lana, then on his way from his capital
to that of the nation, where he knew
he would be received with all the dis
tinction and consideration due his Of
flee and reputation, should take his
own life. His whole character is a denial
of this theory. He was too brave and.
conscientious in the discharge of every
public duty; too conspicuous a person
in the eyes of the country, and crowned
with too many laurels to cowardly
sneak out of the world by the back
way, a self-murderer. The idea was
doubtless invented to cover up the
double crime of robbery and murder
and seems to have been the only YER
sion of his death that reached Mr..
Jefferson and other friends in Vir-
ginia."
The facts given in this newspaper
story do not coincide with some Of the
other known facts of the Lewis case.
but it does present the idea that the
suicide theory was not accepted by all
people at the time OF the tragedy.
Through the years a great mass OF
evidence, pro and con, has been brought
to public attention by the many writ
erS who have given time to the case.
Was it murder or suicide? Each Of us
must weigh the evidence and decide
for ourselves what was the fate OF

Thomas Jefferson was convinced that

have been wrong. His evidence came
from. great, distance: he had only the
story as related by the Grinders. Evil

changes the aspect of the case. Why
should Meriwether Lewis have COM

credible that a man who had risen to
such heights should nave taken his

did not believe him: a suicide, and DR..
Elliott Coues, late authority on things
concerning Lewis and Clark, declared
that the memory of Meriwether Lewis
should no longer be blackened by ref
erence to the suicide theory.
Meriwether Lewis was buried near the
house where he met his death. For
years his resting place was unmarked
except by a rude pile of stones. In 1848
the Tennessee legislature appropriated
$500 for the erection of a suitable mon
ument over the great explorers grave.
