In true appropria ent. s perhaps least of j all should il stop today—though it is | to honor one of its greatest—for he | whose birthday is celebrated, has, done more to gear higher the wheels; of industry than any other man. This man is of course Thomas A. Edison, the beloved "Wizard." Down in Fort Myers, Florida he is today celebrating hi. ••■-’nd birthday and a president-elect lias journeyed to join the little group of notables assembled to do him honor. Few though there are who are privileged to meet with this distinguished company the presence of the great genius will be felt in every city, street and office, in every home —almost throughout the entire world. The total of the Edison achievement is almost I beyond la-lief. In the long span of years which lias been granted him. he has often achieved the marvelous —and straightway it has become com- ! monplaee. by the very practicality of the conception and the immediate utility of the device. It is said that after failure to find a market for an early voting machine of his invention, be vowed never again to spend his time perfecting a thing for which a direct need did not already exist. The total of his patents numbers over 2,500, and more than half of them are in use today. Edison began his career as an inventor in 18611 after several years spent as a railroad news agent and telegraph operator. The first product of his genius was the stock ticker. Probably the most famous of his inventions is the electric light, the first model of which —the familiar carbon filament bulb —he brought out in 1879. Just a tew of the better known of his contributions to industry have been the compound wound dynamo, the improved storage battery, the telegraph capable of transmitting six messages com urrently over the same wire, the phonograph and the motion picture camera. Fifteen year ago he brought out a combination of th latter two inventions in which dialogue was synchronized to the picture, an early edition of the present, talkie. After some indifferent performances, however, the machines were retailed for further perfecting. The incident is typical of the inventor's attitude toward his work. Nothing short of mechanical perfection ami efficiency jtatisfies him and he is willing to go to any leilgth in time ami expense to make his inventions stand the test of commercial reliability. Octogenarian though lids great man may be, he still S possessed of remarkable sluminu and physical power. He does not wish to rest upon his laurels. His work is his play and he goes about it with the vigor of youth and the determination to accomplish. Long may he be spared Io continue his great service, is the wish of countless millions who would honor and felicitate him on this day. Senator Gottschalk han become the outstanding figure of the state senate, notwithstanding the fact that his party is In the minority. He is advised with on every measure and his

The explanation fell flat. Circuit Judge Sharpnack fined Day |1 aud sentenced him to 60 days at the penal farm. resolution tor the armory Investigaton has made a lot ot folks sit up and look around. The Adams county senator Is a veteran in the game aud when he says something every one knows he has some foundations for his statements. If the solons will follow him they will have a better record when the session is over than otherwise and ot that they may be sure. There seems to be no way of dodging an eight cent increase in the tax rate next year, uist autumn when every politician felt sure Frank C. Dailey, democrat, would be elected, the present tax rate of twenty-three cents was fixed, in order to put him in the "nine-hide.” Now they have to work out it themselves and it is assured that the state will have a four million dollar deficit by September Ist. That's the kind of government you have been having. The boys should remember the warnings of the officers about hooking their sleds to automobiles. They are doing this so you won't be hurt. Numerous accidents, have occurred in other towns not far away and precautions are being taken to prevent .any thing of that kind here. Be a good scout, help the officers in this good work.

If Owen D. Young is selected as I permanent chairman of the reparation | commission now meeting in Paris, the I world may depend upon the execution l; lof a big job in a big way. Mr. Young,! | is recognized as one <f the greatest, i< |if not the greatest experts on these , matters in all the world. He is not h j only efficient, but broad, honest ahdij in every way capable. — If tlie committee in charge of the job of selecting the state bird could j see and hear the red bird which gives us a concert each morning from a tree in our front yard, their decision , would be easy.

Its a fine training for the i lads and a big help to Hie police and | to the public. Nothing is finer for a I youngster than to learn the lessons I of scouting. It wiil help the boys all | . through life aud in many ways. So far not a single act of any particular importance has been passed by the Indiana legislature but thats no sign that there won't be a lot of them slip through. Its always a gamble when the law makers are at work. Some times the people win, but not usually. An Indianapolis firm and one of the best in the country, will put ou a , subdivision sale here soon, offering some real bargains. That's a good sign for it shows activity in real estate ami some thing doing.
