shifting the conversation to his

“No.”

“No.”

ed a dry laugh. But in a second
more he had assumed his ex
pression of a dreamer, as he al
ways does, when that dynamo of
a mind is whirling within; and he
fell to talking politics. All that
afternoon, indeed, the campaign
seemed to engage one hope of his
brain, while the other was on
controllers and currents and feed
wires. He kept returning to the
subject; and as we tried moving
and backing and stopping in the
Jersey fields, as we inspected the
car barns as he made his way
home to the laboratory, he de
livered himself of these remarks:
Thomas A, Edison, the world
greatest inventor gave out the
following statement a few days
ago.
“Of course I’m a Progressive
because I’m young at sixty-five—
that is the first reason—and this
is a young man’s movement,
There are a lot of people who die
in the head after they’re fifty
They’re the ones who get shock
ed if you propose anything that
was'nt going when they were
boys. It’s the way the world
goes—the young push ahead and
do things, and the old stand back.
I hope ril always be with the
young.
“You see, getting down to the
bottom of things, this is a pretty
raw, crude civilization of ours—
pretty wasteful, pretty cruel,
which often comes to the same
thing doesn’t it? Andinalotof
respect we Americans are the
rawest and crudest of all. Our
production, our factory laws, our
charities, our relations between
capital and labor, our distribution
-all wrong out of gear. We’ve
fvumbled along for a phile, try-
nig to run a new civilization in
old ways, and we’ve got to start
to make this world over.
' ‘J ust look at us beside Germ-
’d'-y, for example, not that Ger-
■fficiny has done everything, but

only went as far as Germany?
•^0 great standing army, rulers
"psponsible to the people, so that
tney could be changed if they
went wrong—have you thought
what we Americans could do, the
nriost efficient people in the world?
So you can see I’d naturally
be for the party which come
nearest to promising a change—

all the Democrats offer is honest

heard that before, campaign
after campaign, until I’m sick of
it. We’ll think the tariff here,
put in a few fancy frills there
and everything will do all right.
But we go on just the same,
somehow, wasting our resources,
widening the gap Jbetween work
and pay our government—our re-
gulator—generations behind our
industries, our invention—every
thing.
“Free competion—take that
for example! That idea’s as old
and worn out as the States’ rights
doctrine, which is the joke in
this campaign. We’ve got clear
past the wastefulness of the free
competitive era. We might as
well talk about sjnashing all the
steam engines and electric lights
and going back to stage coaches
and candles. Put in tW9 rail
roads, freely competing in the
same territory, and what general
ly happens? After all the waste
and the chroat-eutting .nd the
disturbance, they both go into
the hands of a receiver. Some
malefactor of great wealth
comes along and picks up the
pieces and it’s monopoly, and a
tyrannical and unfair one, too.
Free competition would be like a
mob without the police. Some
body would gobble it all in the
end, and make all the old trouble
in the process. We must recog
nize combination, if only for its
economy—and then see that the
benefits are passed around, that
no gentleman sits in Wall Street
and gathers up the proceeds.”
“I had my experiences with
Wall Street myself,” he said, and
I left some deposits not subject
to check!
“Building a new world out of
old material, that's what we’re
doing,” he continued, “that’s
what some of us have been doing
all our lives!” He sat dreaming
for a few minutes after this, and
we had to guess at his thought;
But if you have tried to get the
inner meaning of this man’s
career, you understand what it
may have been. Every one of
Progressive plank—but the trou
ble isn’t so much the Constitu
tions as vv hat they’ve built, up
around it? Precedent, all prece-
deni! The spirit of the law isn’t
anything. Common sense isn’t
anything. No, it’s what some
old judge thought before. Like
ly as not some judge away back
in the eighteenth century who
hanged men for stealing six shil
lings and Delieved that live toads
rained from the sky. Most of
the big decisions are hair-line af
fairs anyway. What turns the
balance? The man himself—the
way he feels about things in his
bones. Your associations are
part of your feelings aren’t they?
And these fellows ,get to looking
at things as their crowd looks,
no matter how honest they are.
So we iget a hair-line decision
here and another there, and
finally we’re all tied up.
“There'’s that matter of injured
workingmen,” continued Edison,
quoting this old example with all
the force of a new idea. ’ ‘ ‘A

I« there any Intimate relatlo*. be
tween religion and medicine?
Yes, there is. The old-time h^ler
waJS also the priest. Theology and
medicine have not maintained a sep
arate eristence very long. : They
used to be one. Tes, there is an Inti
mate relation between, religion aad
medicine.
It Is •well known of a person who
eats with xm thankfulness and ill-
natured spirit, that his food will not
bave the same effect as if he were In
a kindly mood. The same is true of
medicine. If a person swallows a medi
cine with suspicion, has no faith In Its
action. Is more or less afraid of the one
who gives him the medicine, it cannot
do him as much good as if he had mi-
•waVerlng faith in It.
The mind has a wonderful Influence
over the Ibodr* ThoP» who believe that
a lOTitiK Father ecmtrolis the destiny
of mankind are a treat deal better
prepared to meet the TlcissltudeD of
life and to overcome ^ease than the
tm* who ba« no such faitli. A truly
reilisious man makes a better patient
than an irreiiglous man.
In uslnfT the word rellKlon X am not
referring to any particular kind of re
ligion. The Jew and the grentlle, the
Catholic and the Protestant, each have
0, religion in which they believe. They
also agree in the essentials.
A religious man may believe that 11
is necessary for him to use every
means in his power to get welL He
may believe that it is perfectly proper
for- him to employ doctors and take
medicines. But he also believes that
when he has donb the beat be can
there is a higher power that has
charge of his afCairs, ttiat absolute jus
tice will be dotie him, that no evil thing
can befall a good n^. He goes fpr-
wai'd with confidence, sick or well, rich
or poor, and gets a great deal more

has no religion. '• (!« .
X hay» foun4 T^yseM saylngc many
times to people who hive a chronic ali
ment, "Tou need religion, as well as
medicine. Tou nee^ f^tjb w over

thing to wise ends; that the affliction
of disease teaches a lesson that every

This does not mean that Mck peplde
are to sit down and tn^st that an over

Nothing of the sort.. He is to use .reme
dies guided by his beat ludgmeat. ijiit
in the use of them he can believe that a!i
things are well and that In the end all
things will come out right. Any medi
cine has a better chance to cure a mail
who holds, such a faith.
Some men are so: faithless and un
believing, so restless and desperate,
their minds so unsettled, that even the
best of medicine has little chaince to
do th^m nay good. Therefor* I say
