The results of all this mediocre thinking will not surpass the products of the brain of a Newton, a La Place or a Napoleon. A superior brain is a treasure for the community, provided the brain is put to work to solve the problems of the present lif What Edison by his various electrical inventions has done for the copper trade and, therefore, for the race, was symbolized at the luncheon opening the Electrical Exposition by a eubic foot of copper weighing 486 pounds set before his plate. An inseription recited that at the time of his first invention, forty-three years ago to-day, the an- nual output of copper was 377,664,000 pounds, — Last year it was 1,910,608,000 pounds. In a generation, and largely because of F eon, production had increased five fold. Vor such a contribution the massive “paperweight,” as Edison ealled it, is but a poor monument. Had a like achievement been their own, the Pharaohs that celebrated themselves in stone would have cast into a pyramid all of that shining mass of nearly two billion pounds. Exceptional minds, working upon matter, have wrought great results in our time. They have made cement available for every sort of construction, anticipating a return of the age of clay, Figures §ust filed at Washington show that in this country the business has increased 600 per cent. since 1900. Sorpollet and his successors made the automobile, and last year about 200,000 machines were turned out in this country, while the production of crude rubber multiplied many fold in the decade. German science in two generations has almost tripled the amount of sugar derived from each pound of beet roots, 1nd the beet-sugar industry now accounts for more than half the world’s sugar output of above ten million tons. German chemists have increased the returns of their dyeing in- Wustry in a single generation from $6,000,000 to about $40,000,000, The Hall process for the reduction of aluminum found an annual) production in this country of 61,281 pounds in 1890 and made an’ annual production of 7,150,000 pounds in 1900 at one-third the old | It aristocracy is a blend of blood and benefits, whose claim to it| equals the great inventors’? . a SERVITUDE, AND SERVICE. A GOOD LAW forbids employment of children at other than the “But you cannot outnumber the one brain.” hours between 8 A. M. and 5 P. M., and there have been| recent arrests for its violation. Children are entitled to, their play hours, as their elders are entitled to their recreation. ‘he trend of society is to assure both, and it is a good trend. As Ruskin has said, it is written that in the sweat of his brow man shall eat bread, but it is not written that in the breaking of his heart he shall eat it. Men can work too much, or too little, and society has always iad both possibilities under surveillance. Slavery itself, though its | usefulness is outworn, has been, perhaps, the greatest factor in the building of civilization. As Bagehot says in his “Physics and Politics,” “there is a wonderful presumption in its favor; it is one of the institu- tions which, at a certain stage of growth, all nations in all countries choose and cleave to.” Refinement is only possible, he urges, when leisure is possible, and slavery first makes it possible. The original problem was how to make men work, They would not do it unless they had to. They were incapable of sustained labor. “Ihe social mission of slavery,” Lester Ward says in his “Pure Sociology,” “was to convert mere activity into true labor.” He adds: “The capacity to labor is a typical ‘acquired character’ that has been transmitted in minute additions from generation to genera- tion of slaves, until great numbers of men were at last born with a ‘natural’ power to apply themselves to monotonous tasks during their whole lives.” Back of all of us is a siave inheritance and the blood of servi- tude is in our veins. We call it service now, and hold no life worthy without it. HELA tats GN SAFE IN THE MIDST OF ALARMS.

Up to 9 o'clock at night the pedestrian will be safe anywhere. Between Ninth and Third avenues he will be safe at any time. If he must make an excursion into forbidden territory or the forbidden hours, let him arm himself with a district leader's pass-card, be easy for the latter to make arrangements by which gang members whom the citizen encounters shall punch the card instead of his head, Letters From the People The Flag Inc ‘To the Editor of The Evening We In answer to “Common hild to school they might not be take advantage of the free education, It Sense" be news to "Common Sei @ard to the flag incident 4 toay Sniah ction voy; It's all very well for “Cor | nave treo eaication, Deo Ay i lense” to say “If a person ts so EH tanta ee friotic, why not stay at he what I unde: ood when I read about the incident the Engfish girl's parente| Aid not object to thy 4( bild showing due dren that are me? rrom|¢ tries have to take the oath of co every day tg the country tear ave being educatedg in?
