And thus was unwittingly discovered the method of transmitting electrical energy. That day the j Age of Elec- tricity began and as the years have gone by, its marvels have increased. At Menb Park, N. J., near the city of New York, the man who did most to make the commercial use of elec tricity possible, still lives and labors. He has seen such a change in the world, because of his inventive genius, as no roan could have foretold in the first years of his work of devising ways and means of creating and distributing electric , current. . ' "--'"; - - ' It is fitting that the New York Edison company, about to build a $50,000,000 power station at Fourteenth street and East river, New York City, bears his name. This proposed plant is to be capable of generating 1,000,000 horse power. The ordinary roan has little conception of what that means, or of the perfection of power machinery in these days of big electric current generating units. ! For properly condensing the steam which the turbine engines of this new system will Use 800,000 gallons of water a minute will be pumped from the East river. J This is more j water than New York City use3 in the same length of time.! The coal which will be burned to make possible this power development, would, were it to.be carted through the streets of New York, require the use of a fleet of 500 large trucks. It will riot be delivered in that fashion, however, but by water and unloaded by machines capable of handling 500 tons an hour. , ' : 'i':t V -; , Enough power will be generated by this station alone to provide 3,000,000 six-room houses with all tle electric light their occupants might require, or it would give any state in the Union, outside of New York, all the power.it consumes. IICIQES " He is a small town tailor who takes his vacation in Jerks. When things become dull in his place of business he locks up the store and leaves for a while without Baying anything to anybody about it. Be ing told by a friend that he should to the prisoners themselves idleness and being fed at public expense is degradation of body, mind and soul. - f Plans for working prisoners held for crimes are in successful operation.; In Calif ornia and in some other states they build and repair roads, t In Oregon they, work at several occupations. In some counties they break rock and otherwise engage in profitable labor. At Kelly Butte, Multnomah, pris oners make a handsome profit for the county. Clackamas county has plans under way to employ her prisoners at breaking rock for the conuty roads, f ; ' ; Marion county! has about twenty-five whose activities have placed them behind the bars. A sufficient guard could be maintained at small expense ; compared to the possible earnings of the men. Work is their greatest needphysical, mental and moral. Voluntary idleness usually leads to crime. Enforced idleness in prison prepares of times for further crime. It almost never reforms.

The prisoners, the lawn and the I legend county would be the better, thereby.

Or in the Columbia river or any one of alialf dozen other of its tributaries. ; I ; 3 The cost of the vast expenditures for coal would be saved, and of pumping.the water to.make the steam, and of the man power in attending to the vast waste in burning the c6al and attending to the boilers and engines-j- . Compared with which keeping up the water power equip ment would be insignificant. ! r And then, the water power would never consume itself. It would never pinch out, as coal measures must do, and grow scarce ; for it could be used and used and used, and never diminish. ';:' '-.:- : Cn3C3 f This is a fair illustration of the great advantages we of - this section, where we have available nearly half the poten JLial water powers of the United States; advantages that will bulk larger as the coal of the country arid of the world approaches exhaustion or by reason of growing more scarce arid more expensive to mine becomes a greater and even greater item of expense. ' j ' " . ' .This is the reason why our section, with its "white coal," and by reason, too, of having the bulk of the timber resources of this continent, will become the great manufacturing section of the United States and of the world. j! i Mr. Edison recently said that electric power is the only thing in the world'that is growing cheaper arid cheaper. It will keep on growing cheaper, as our water power develop ment proceeds, until the time will come when every other section of this country, in competition in manufacturing, will be at a greater and greater disadvantage as compared with our section ; for the use of machinery in all manufacturing, and in all the processes of living, grows arid grows, with new inventions. j ; , ' -s . This will tell amazingly iri the development of our flax - and linen industries, in our sugar industry, and in a thousand and indeed tens of thousands of ways, to the advantage of our favored section. GIVE THEM WORK A job for everyone is a familiar slogan. Everyone for a job would be a fine complement. But there are those who are so particular about that job that while decision is being made the jobs go undone. What about jobs for the prisoners iri the county jail? Wouldn't digging the plantain from the lawn around the courthouse be a worthwhile job for them? j The county, is now paying for their living; They are obtaining their food and shelter without the "sweat of their brow." And these conditions are bad for the county and for them.;! There is no good reason, why. the taxpayers, should thus bo taxed to maintain men in idleness. Nor is' there any reason why even thess held for offenses against the community chould expect to be kept in idleness at public expense. Even In the passing of Thomas R. Marshall there has gone out from American political life a character unique and out standing. Governor of Indiana and vice president of the nation his service was unique as it was meritorious. Modest and methodical his work was accomplished with a quiet and dispatch which elicited the most favorable comment. Loyalty and unselfishness characterized his political life. These were shown especially during the physical break down of President Wilson. During this period near the close of the administration when most men would have been! laying plans for promotion from the second to the first office in the land Vice President Marshall gave increased devotion to the work and policies of his chief. He scorned the advantage presented to elevate his own fortunes. The preferred duty to self aggrandizement or official position! :; !! n Marshall possessed poise and with it an exalted sense of humor. His canaility and humor were of times safety valves for senatorial action the balance wheel for that 'human intensity of feeling and action which threatens wise and deliberate procedure. So informal were his accomplishments that then seldom elicit praise. But his life history presents an exemplar of the high type of American citizenship. Here's to the new members of the fish commission. Let us hope they will "pour oil on the usually turbulent waters" he fishing grounds. The record of the last legislature appears to be well preserved at the state house. MV MARRIAGE PROBLEMS Adele Garrison's New Thuse of REVELATIONS OF A WIFE Copyright by Newepaper Feature ' - . Service ; f CHAPTER 473 THE DISCLOSURE LINDA CON FIDINGLY MADE TO MADGE Linda's weak face,' which once had been pretty, held the shamed grief and the mulish obstinacy of a child who has been humiliated She looked moodily at the door through which Grace Draper had just passed, and her chin quivered with futile anger, while impotent tears rolled down her cheeks. ; "She hadn't ought to have told the chef I snitched that little bit of hooch." she said plaintively. "It wasn't any harm, but he'll be sore at me, and he's always treat ed me white:"1' I don't know what made me do It, anyway. I didn't need to." ' ' - : ' ' :( She stopped abruptly and look ed furtively," speculatively at me "Say. You look like , a good kid." she announced at last. "And you're sore at Gracie, too. Lookit. You wouldn't snitch on me to her. would you, if I showed you some- thin?" v I snatched at the heaven-sent opportunity. ; : "Of course I wouldn't," I said warmly. , - j , She nodded her head' sagely. "I knew you were good kid," she announced, and when she had locked the door she came back to me, staring at me with blinking, red-rimmed eyes. - j "You swear yotf " won't tell Gracie," she said, j "I swear it solemnly." I return ed.. . ' . ' j '; , "Thass all right' then," she said, and walking to the radiator, pull ed aside the exquisite hooked rug which covered the jagged hole In the floor. , . "Come here," she said, with a peremptory jerk of her head. " t obeyed her quickly. v ; , "Kneel down here." she whis pered, and when I (had done so, she took my hand in hers and thrust it into the jagged hole in the floor boards. f . Td Like to Go to Sleep." "Reach over to the right and get what's there," she Instructed. My fingers closed upon a flat bottle which I drew bat and hand ed to her. She took it with a little crooning sound of delight. Then, with - a . frightened glance at , the hole inKhe floor, she jumped up. dragging me with her. and hastily pushed the-rug over the hole. IJierfl!g .somebody Ja the roonv below," she said nervously, "and that pipe's just like a telephone wire. You can hear just as plain. Nobody knows that but. me. though, so don't you tell Gracie." I With one . of the freakish J in puts es of partial intoxication, Lin da patently had taken a fancy to me, and for the present I was Jn high favor with her. he uncork ed the bottle, lifted it to her lips, tilted her head back, and with closed eyes and rapturous face took a long draught. Then she held out the bottle with the gen erous glow' of self-sacrifice on her face. ! "Have a little snifter;" she in vited cordially. "You look as if you needed one." "I'd love to. a little later," I i revaricated promptly. "I have a headache now, and even a taste would make it much worse." ,To my great relief, for I feared to offend her, she accepted my ex planation. "I know," she said, wagging her head sagely. "This stuff goes to your head something fierce. I'd like to go to sleep right now." Familiar Voices. , . She stood .looking Vacantly at me for a minute, which seemed endless, then a cunning' smile spread over her face. ; "I'll tell you." she said. 'You're awful tired Why don't you go to sleep, too? We'll both- go to sleep." " . I seized the suggestion eagerly. "That will be splendid!" I said. "Only I don't want to go to bed. I'll just get Into a negligee and slippers and lie down on the couch. But it's so near the fire, can't we move It over the other side of the room?" ' She considered judicially. "Why, yes, I guess so," she said. "Take holL? -' : She was fast reeling slightly when we grasped the couch, and though I watched her furtively, I saw that she suspected ' nothing when I put the head of the couch so near the nolo of the radiator that could reach down and 'lift the rug without moving front a reclining position. I straightened myself with a sense of relief, i i "Now I'll have a said. . "So win Ir" she returned. "I'm glad you don't want the bed, for I'm going 'to take It. I need to stretch-r-out." ; ' :' She watched me change to a negligee with eyes which she tried in vain to keep watchful. And no sooner was I ensconced on the couch than she' threw herself en sconced on the couch than she threw herself upon the bed. S I had to wait only a few mo ments before the - sound of her breathing told .me she would be safe for hours. ' . ..-;.. ! Then I lifted the corner of the rug "and listened for sounds from the room below. And when an hour had slipped by my vigil -was rewarded by the sound of voices voices which I recognized as those of Grace Draper and Harry Under wood.
