EDISON AND THE COLONEL. 6 NEED experimentation in our Government,” de- W clared the great inventor, Thomas A. Edison, during} a rare outburst of political talk in the course of which he proclaimed himself 2 “natural-born Bull Mooser.” “Tam a progressive.» I believe in experimentation. Children should be taught at the age of eight years that progress is life. You can't have progress without experimentation.” Like everything that Mr. Edison says—interesting, character- istic, intensely alive. As expressive of the temperamental daring, the superb, reckless energy of inventive genius-—nothing could be more | delightful. In the mental make up of a nan entrusted with the responsibilities of administering the government of a great people— nething could be more dangerous. : The eager vision, the restless eympathies, the impatient self- , confidence that animate a man to spend sleepless nights and hun- @reds of thousands of dollars in the pursuit of fascinating will-o’-| ,the-wisp fancies that may, if he catches them, turn into miracles of human blessing, or crumble to nothing in his hand, are, though of inestimable value in their proper place, not what are wanted on the bench or in the halls of administration. ‘To the “progressive- ism” and experimentative instinct of Fdison the world is glad to acknowledge its untold debt. But the ripened common sense of ths came world tells it that governments do not advance by brilliant fashes of invention or experiment. : Jie ee DEATH TO THE “SLEEPER”! T’: Public Health Service is to inspect the sanitary features of . 63 © NO. 18,674 railroad trains and vessels engaged in interstate commerce. ‘ Railroad and steamship managers are to he prodded into cleaning and fumigating their cars and boats at frequent intervals te prevent the carrying of dirt and disease. Why doesn’t the Public Health Service go a step farther and condemn once and for all that scandalous old survival of hygienic Dark Ages—the Pullman sleeping car? Anything more preposter- ously out of date, unsanitary, indecent and barbarous than these human cattle conveyances wherein a couple of dozen persons of both texes are forced to undress, sleep and struggle into their clothes again on rows of open shelves behind frowsy curtains, with as many cubic feet of air as circlated in the Black Hole of Calcutta, can hardly be imagined. The ordinary sleeping car of to-day, with its excessive dust-laden upholstery, its inconvenience and ite promiscuity, is one of the an- achronisms of our well-ordered, well-plumbed, well-ventilated, much he-bathroomed and sanitated national life. What earthly excuse ig there for the stupid, antiquated berth-elecper except the reluc- tance of the railroads to give up a diabolical device which enables them to pack away the greatest number of people with the smallest trouble and expense? A stateroom on a Pullman sleeper of the present type is heyond the pocketbooks of most people. A berth in the unspeakable at- wesphere of. the car is the only alternative. It is high time that public opinion and government regulation forced the railro teplace these musty, foul-smelling back numbers with sleeping cars somposed entirely of compartments or staterooms, each containing two, or at most four beds, each served by its own toilette compart- ment, thereby affording the elementary requirements of cleanliness and privacy. Let the Public Health Service do the country a real service and proacribe the sleeping car. 2 Ee Seana O FAR careful search has failed to discover any letier from J ply ae "Mrs, Pierpont Morgan asking “Where do T stand ¥ as rene hoes een DOCTOR has started in to develop his infant daughter by ex ergise and care into the most perfect woman in the world.
