Among the fourteen cities Jn which Ridgways Weekly is published is Oakland, Cal., the mechanical work of the San Francisco edition being exe cuted in Oakland. President Tracy, of No. 21, has the following to say of the management of the San Fran cisco edition of Ridgway's: "The Ridgway publication, whjich bears a San Francisco date line, is printed in the jurisdiction of Oakland union, just across the bay, owing, I presume, to the more or less chaotic and demoralized condition existing here. All of the work is being done under absolutely fair conditions, how ever, and we of San Francisco are en tirely satisfied with the arrangement. As an instance of the good feeling that prevails between the men em ployed on the magazine and its man agement, I will recite briefly what occurred on the Friday night preced ing tire first issue. The men were held on duty for several hours over time and every one pulled out and worked faithfully in order that the management might keep its promise to place . the first issue on the street at schedule time Saturday. The man agement, appreciating the good work done by the men, not only paid them these work on With a before a lan AUTO 2575 the night newspaper scale for all work performed," including the one:dollar-an-hour overtime rate, but in addition, presented each man with a $20 gold piece as a bonus, so that the day's work for the men employed amounted to quite $30 each. This may sound like a fairy tale to some of our east ern cousins, but it's gospel truth." SOLVES CHEAP POWER. WIZARD EDISON INVENTS WON DERFUL STORAGE BATTERY. Automobiles to Be Run at Trifling Cost Long Search for Metal Essential to Success of Great Discovery. New York. Thomas A. Kdison has accomplished a surprise for the world. He has worked out successfully the problem of cheap power. He promises to put on the market within six months a new storage battery which will enable every man to travel in his own private carriage at about the cost of car fare. . Without danger, without breakdowns, without cost, al-' most, a carriage, once supplied with the new power for $200, will travel without repairs for 15 years, for 100,- 000 miles if necessary, says the wizard. Mr. Edison reiterates the declara tion that he has invented a storage battery which will solve the problem of congested traffic in the big cities of the world as soon as he can manu facture enough of the batteries. He is erecting two large factory build ings, now nearly completed, and is in stalling in them new machinery espe cially for the manufacture of the mo tor battery. "In 15 years from now the horse will be a curiosity; we shall bo pay ins 50 cents to look at him In side shows," said Mr. Edison to an Inter viewer. "Last year you were sure that you had solved this problem?" he was re minded. "Yes, last year I was sure," replied Mr. Edison, "but now I am dead sure. There is a difference between the two. It's one thing, for instance, to be sure, and another thing to be Wall street sure." For three years 25,000 storage bat teries have been constantly at work in the testshops of the Edison plant at Orange, N. J. "I never believed that nature, so prolific of resources, could provide only lead ' as a material ingredient of the battery," said Mr. Edison. "I have always found her ready for any emer gency, and based on this confidence that she has never betrayed, I com muned diligently with her.- One day 1 discovered that nickel rust was as good as lead. Then I thought I had accomplished the task." But he hadn't, to the satisfaction of his commercial instinct. The ques tion of the weight of the battery was most important as was that of its durability. Nickel rust failed, other things failed, everything the ingenious Edi son, with his trained, scientific mind, could conceive failed. "Then I tried cobalt," he said, and SHOGUN AND THE MIKADO. Former Was the Military Chieftain of the Japanese. In name, and in name alone, the shotgun was the military chieftain. Master of all the three hundred clans of the feudal nippon, the shogun was in fact at the head of the administra tion, says a Japanese writer in the Forum. The army was his, and Into his treasury flowed ' the revenues of the entire empire. In foreign affairs also his was the master scepter. ' Nat urally, you would ask: If the actual powers of the state, both military and civil, were in the hands of the sho gun, for what fanciful and amiable reason should he take the trouble of maintaining the fiction of the imper ial court at Kioto? What unheard-of modesty prevented him from . ascend ing himself the throne of the emperor? The reason of it all was this: His majesty, the emporer, having turned over the power of temporal govern ment into the hands of ha shogun, Pays Magee & Deemer Correct Clothes for Men Dependable clothes for men has been our constant endeavor for 'years.

"And it worked?" "It certainly did, but cobalt, being one of the rare metals, the problem was not solved. I scoured the coun try to find cobalt in sufficient quanti ties to warrant its use, and discovered lots of it in Canada, in Wisconsin, in Oregon and in Kentucky. Then I knew that I was all right." "What are you working at now in connection with this phase of the dis covery?" "One of the most "difficult problems in metallurgy is to separate cobalt from the ores with which it is asso ciated. At present it is done only at great expense, and so for the last few months we have been devising a THOMAS A. EDISON. (He Is Said to Have Solved the Prob lem of Cheap Power for Autos.) plan of getting cobalt out of the ore cheaply within' a ratio of cost already calculated for the price of each cell." "And you have succeeded?" "Completely. I can positively prom ise that the new battery will be on the market in the spring. The factory buildings are ready and the machin ery is being installed." "But there may be some surprise that nature is holding back that will interfere?" "Absolutely none, I haven't kept 25,000 batteries, working for three years without discounting all chances of failure." . The actual cost of recharging the new battery is a matter of a few cents per cell, the greatest' achievement be ing in making it light in weight, in compact shape and above all, durable. The new storage .battery is not de signed for fast automobiles. "But I am not an automobile manu facturer, and I have thought only of solving the problem of street traffic, which is serious in all the great cities of the world," says Edison. his regent, he continued, nevertheless. to be the sovereign of our imaginar tion, of our traditional rites, and of our devotion. Ancient chronicles told us that he was the son of heaven; in the heart of his people he was sacred. If, indeed, he was somewhat of an abstraction, his majesty was not a whit less substantial than another great viewless sovereign called ideal In fine, our emporer was our national ideal in flesh and blood; he was the state. And the chief . distinction be tween the genius of the eastern civili zation and that of the west lies in this: With you, the individual is the hub of the universe every charity be gins at home with you; while with us of the east, it is the whole, the state, not the individual, that we emphasize. An individual is nothing; the state., the whole, is everything. We sac rifice our children and our wives upon the altar of national honor, without hestkation, without regret. v Analysis of Cunning.
