H(j. WKI.LS fust emerged on the literary Horizon, an it simmer
of Heientifit! fairy tulcs. lie made a name as an English Jules
Verne. The second installment of his Saturday Kveniiir Post series,
shows that he has never lost the facility of fanciful exposition, and
his "salvage of the world" might be termed a frank return to his
initial manner.
In this second installment the author of "New Worlds for Old,"
unifies and elucidates his cosmic system into a I'nited States of the
world. Civilization is to be saved, not by a League of Nations, but by
an obliteration of all nations and tin amalgamation of all. races and
all nations, into one super-nation. 1
The essential clarity and sanity of the author's intellectual pro
cesses, emerge sufficiently toward the end of the article, for him
to pause with the query as to whether or not, what he has said is
merely rubbish. As a romantic speculation it isn't, any more than
the Arabian Nights or Grimms Kairy tales, but as a practical program
for serious application today, it is; and unless we are much mis
taken, will be so considered by the public ut large, if the public ut
large consider it at till.
JIr. Wells isn't a freak. He possesses at once the most versatile
and penetrating intellect, in the literary world of today. Hut he is
essentially literary, lie is primarily the artist, and the reconstruction
he seeks to accomplish, must be evolved not in the world of imagi
nation, but in the hum drum world of reality and fact. His error lies,
we believe, not in his analysis, which places the ills of today upon
somewhat artificial national distinctions, largely the product of an
antiquated tradition, and imperfect educational system, but in his as
sumption, that such distinctions cmi be easily removed, and that an
entirely new and revolutionary political concept can be accepted over
night.
The United States of the world is coming some day, perhaps in
less than a thousand years. Hut the event is so remote, that one be
lieves Mr. Wells could better devote his talents today, to working out
practical methods of feeding the world, as it is, rather than in trans
forming it into what in this century ut least, it can never be. ;
The human trait that makes competing nations, goes back to the
jungle. In a million years it has probably changed but little. The Di
plodocus fought the Stcgosaurus, uot because there was any essential
difference between them, but because there was a superficial
difference, because Dipy had a seventeen-foot tail, perhaps and
Stegy's tail was only seven. They fought because of some vague
primitive urge, based apparently upon the realization that Dipys were
not Stegys and Slegy.s were not Dipys. And their descendants have
been fighting ever since, from the time of the Antrapoid Ape up to
the Chicago race riots.
There is something, we don't know what, which makes every
living organism hostile to any similar organism which is not identical.
It may be the stylo of a tail, the make of n torso, the language or the
complexion, whatever it is, it reacts on the individual as the red
rag on tho bull frog, and the merry struggle goes on.
Mr. Wells would eliminate all this by calling it needless, whiclj it
may be, but how in Heaven's name will he. convince the Greek and the
Turk, the Germaii und the Frenchman, the white and the red, the yel
low and the black! To us it looks like a problem not for Mr. Wells,
'hut for the evolution of the ages. And the ages, like the mills of the
Gods, grind slowly, so slowly that the average man in the street,
and he is the determining factor in all fundamental changes, will we
fear, dismiss Mr. Wells' articles as a waste of time. Unless he should
still be interested in fairy tales, which of course is entirely another
matter.

RED NOSES.
J11IN HAliLKYCOHN is planted, the law bus put him out; no
tanglefoot is granted to any thirsty scout; no barkeep bauds
the bitters, the bourbon or the rye, to any human critters, as
tlrouthy months go by. But oh, the crimson noses I see upon the
street as red as any roses that make the summer sweet! Where
do they get their tinting, their bright autumnal hue, since vint
ners are not viuting, and brewers do iiot brew? The barkeeps are
not flinging the glasses as of yore; the doors that once were
swinging, swing in no more; John Barleycorn is busted his graft
is past anil gone, the old brass rail is rusted, there is no dfmi.john.
Hut oh, the crimson noses that through the ether plow ! The looker-on
supposes they should be bleached by now'. They should be
fair and whiter than is the driven snow, since Barleycorn, the
blighter, was slain long months ago. There should be no such
noses, since Barleycorn is dead, 'but every hour discloses new
shades of blooming red. Oh, can it be that water will tint the hu
man beak, as well as stuff that's hotter the booze men used to
seek" And can il be that drinking dojvn where the streamlet
flows, will paint a fellow's blilikiug aud. blooming, blistered nose'.'

What Is Electric S
ervice?
Your electric service wires for lighting, cooking, heating or power are only one ter
minus of a vast electriij equipment covering the territory served by this company.
When you use electric lights or other ervic, you have the use of distributing lines
with transformers, poles, copper wires, cross-arms and insulators,., sub-stations., with
transformers, switchboards... and regulating devices, ..high tension transmission lines
i connecting the different power plants, which are located at different points on the lines
"j so that in case of an accident to one or two plants the other power plants would carry the
load and keep up the service.
J Your service is safeguarded by a large force of men -repairing and testing lines and
X apparatus and emergency men with swift automobiles and motorcycles are ready at all
hours of day or night to make repairs, regardless of storms or weather conditions.
A railroad train may be ten minutes late or thirty minutes late, and as long as it
does not occur too often it is not considered a serious fault in the service.
