FINANCIAL CONTRIBUTORS

We thankfully acknowledge the vision and support of Rutgers University and the Thomas A. Edison Papers Board of Sponsors.

This edition was made possible by grant funds provided from the New Jersey Historical Commission, National Historical Publications and Records Commission, and The National Endowment for the Humanities. Major underwriting has been provided by the Barkley Fund, through the National Trust for the Humanities, and by The Charles Edison Foundation.

We are grateful for the generous support of the IEEE Foundation, the Hyde & Watson Foundation, the Martinson Family Foundation, and the GE Foundation. We acknowledge gifts from many other individuals, as well as an anonymous donor; the Association of Edison Illuminating Companies; and the Edison Electric Institute. For the assistance of all these organizations and individuals, as well as for the indispensable aid of archivists, librarians, scholars, and collectors, the editors are most grateful.

A Note on the Sources The pages which have been filmed are the best copies available. Every technical effort possible has been made to ensure legibility.

PUBLICATION AND MICROFILM COPYING RESTRICTIONS

Reel duplication of the whole or of any part of this film is prohibited. In lieu of transcripts, however, enlarged photocopies of selected items contained on these reels may be made in order to facilitate research.

UNBOUND CLIPPINGS SERIES

Unbound Clippings Series

These unbound clippings coverthe period 191 1-191 9. Most of the items were sent to Edison by clippings services, although a few may have been subsequently added to the collection by archivists. They are primarily taken from newspapers and popular magazines, but there are also clippings from Edison company publications, technical journals, and other printed sources. The articles pertain to a variety of subjects, including the development and promotion of Edison's inventions, the activities of his companies, his role on the Naval Consulting Board during World War I, and the personal affairs of Edison, his wife Mina Miller Edison, and other family members. In addition to brief newspaper accounts, there are a few longer articles and profiles based on in-depth interviews with Edison, written either by journalists or by Edison's assistants. Also included are obituaries of Edison family members and former associates and advertisements for Edison products. Some of the clippings are speculative stories based on rumors that were untrue. Examples include reports that Edison had won the Nobel Prize and that he was building a spirit phone to talk to the dead.

Numerous clippings for 1911-1919 can also be found in the Scrapbook Series. However, only the years 1915-1916 are thoroughly covered in the scrapbooks; apart from one scrapbook about the family's European tour in 1911, there are few Edison-related clippings for 1911-1912 or 1917-1919. There are also several significant chronological gaps in the unbound clippings, such as for September-December 1917. In that regard, it should be noted that Edison made an effort to prevent stories about his war-related work from appearing in newspapers.

Because oftheirfragileand deteriorating condition, all of the newspaper clippings for 1911-1919 have been photocopied by archivists at the Edison National Historic Site, and the originals have been discarded. Some of these photocopies may be difficult to read because of the acidic paper on which the original clippings was printed and because of the adhesive tape used by earlier archivists to mount them, which has yellowed over the years. At the time the clippings were photocopied, many of the original tags supplied by the clippings service were removed and replaced with typewritten citations. The information in these citations is occasionally incorrect.

The clippings are arranged in folders by year and, within each folder, in rough chronological order by month. A strict chronological arrangement is not possible, since several clippings from different days of the month are often photocopied onto the same sheet of paper. In such cases, the pages are arranged according to the date of the earliest clipping on the page.

Because many articles and news items were widely reprinted, only the earliest, most detailed, or best surviving copy of each story has been selected. Other clippings not selected include local advertising, publicity, and promotions for Edison products; stories about motion pictures released or in production under the Edison name; editorials that casually refer to Edison; and generic or repetitive biographical accounts. Also not selected is a series of humorous cartoons by Fontaine Fox called "The Remarkable Discoveries of Thomas Edison Jr.," which, despite the name, are entirely unrelated to Thomas Edison or his oldest son. An example can be found among the unbound clippings for November 1912.

Unbound Clippings Series Clippings (1911)

These clippings cover the year 1911. Most of the items are taken from newspapers, but there are several longer magazine articles as well. Included are clippings relating to the reorganization of the National Phonograph Co. and several other Edison companies into Thomas A. Edison, Inc.; the outcome of patent cases and lawsuits; and the demonstration of new storage batteries for submarines and electric cars. Also included are articles about Edison's contracts with the Anderson Electric Car Co. and European representative John F. Monnot, as well as his agreement with the Nernst Lamp Co. of Pittsburgh to supply lamps for his home kinetoscope. Other articles discuss Edison's widely discussed (and sometimes criticized) plans to make concrete houses and concrete furniture; his ideas about the use of motion pictures in education and politics; and his call to reform anti-trust legislation.

There are also clippings pertaining to the Edison family trip to Europe, including visits to England, France, Germany, Switzerland, and Austria; a controversial article by Edison on the immortality of the soul; his attendance at the New York Electrical Exposition at which he received the gift of a large copper cube; and the local social activities of his wife, Mina Miller Edison. In addition, there are articles regarding the deaths of Edison's longtime associate Josiah C. Reiff, his brotheNn-law Robert Anderson Miller, and his aunt Julia Tilden Edison; the marriage of his cousin Edith Clarissa Edison; and a murder-suicide in one of the offices of the National Phonograph Co.

Approximately 10 percent of the clippings have been selected. In addition to numerous duplicate versions of most of the stories, the unselected items include articles not directly related to Edison on subjects such as motion pictures, phonograph recordings, and electric automobiles.

Other clippings for 1911 can be found in Cat. 44,498 (Scientific American) and Cat. 44,447 (European Tour) in the Scrapbook Series.

■HESE arc clays of bold ami startling thought. Each year adds its detail to man's

Thomson, author of "The Brain and Personality." which Mr. Edison, himself, declares to lie the ablest work yet issued cm the subject, and Dr. Thomson, in ids arguments, assumed that Mr. Edison de¬ nies Supreme Intelligence.

"Dr. Thomson's inference was wrong," Mr. Edison has since told me, "I never have denied Supreme Intelligence. What 1 have denied and what my reason com¬ pels me to deny, is the existence of a Being throned above us as a god, direct¬ ing our mundane affairs in detail, regard¬ ing ns as individuals, punishing its, re¬ warding us as human judges might.

POPULAR ELECTRICITY

Unbound Clippings Series Clippings (1912)

These clippings cover the year 1912. Most of the items are taken from newspapers, but there are several longer magazine articles as well. Clippings relating to Edison's inventions and business matters include articles about the introduction of three major new products: the disc phonograph, the Blue Amberol cylinder phonograph, and the home projecting kinetoscope. There are also articles concerning Edison's views on patent law; the resignation of Frank L. Dyer as the president of Thomas A. Edison, Inc., and his replacement by Edison; and the federal government's initiation of an antitrust suit against the Motion Picture Patents Co.

Other clippings pertain to the celebration of Edison's sixty-fifth birthday; his support for Theodore Roosevelt and the Progressive party in the presidential election; his endorsement of women's suffrage; and the deaths of his mother-in-law, Mary Valinda Miller, and his longtime associate George E. Gouraud. In addition, there are articles discussing his plans to make motion pictures for use in schools; his attendance at the first annual "Edison Field Day" company picnic and game day; and a contract for the use of Edison Portland cement at the new baseball park at Ebbetts Field in Brooklyn.

Approximately 30 percent of the clippings have been selected. In addition to numerous duplicate versions of most of the stories, the unselected items include articles not directly related to Edison on patent, copyright, and business law; recording contracts; and the phonograph industry.

Unbound Clippings Series Clippings (1913)

These clippings cover the year 1913. Most of the items are taken from newspapers, but there are several longer magazine articles as well. Many of the clippings relate to the introduction of the kinetophone (a motion picture synchronized with a phonograph), which caused a brief but intense sensation in cities and towns across North America. Included are articles about kinetophone films planned or produced by Edison on political subjects, as well as his attempt to secure dramatic artists such as Sarah Bernhardt. Other topics include Edison's receipt of the Rathenau safety medal for his battery- powered miner's lamp; attempts by the Industrial Workers of the World and the American Federation of Labor to unionize the employees at Edison's manufacturing plants; and the replacement of his battery production facility with a new building.

In addition, there are clippings relating to activities of Edison family members, including Charles Edison's decision to drop out of M.l.T. and go to work for the Boston Edison Co.; his visit to Colorado during the summer; a minor injury sustained by Theodore Edison when a homemade bomb in a glass bottle exploded; and Theodore's arrest for speeding and driving without a license in his father's new touring car.

Approximately 30 percent of the clippings have been selected. In addition to numerous duplicate versions of most of the stories, the unselected items include speculative articles about the impact of talking motion pictures on the legitimate theater; descriptions of traveling kinetophone exhibitions in various towns; news stories about local Edison utility companies; and dealer advertisements for the Diamond Disc phonograph.

Additional clippings about the introduction of the kinetophone can be found in Cat. 44,489, Cat. 44,490, and Cat. 44,491 in the Scrapbook Series.

THIS INTERESTING POSSim^ITIUS 01-' EDISON'S NEWLY ANNOUNCED INVENTION, THE] KINETOP1IONE

BY ISAAC l'J. MAKCOSSON

'T"MiE scores of smartly gowned women, j I the troops of children, and the fair j sprinkling of men who gathered at.j he Orange Country Club one afternoon ) ate in January scarcely realized the his-. -1 oric importance of the occasion that brought ;A hem together. They had been asked to be I he guests of their neighbor, Thomas ! A. i? Edison, at a demonstration of what was j! nodestly called “-an. improvement in the j* notion picture.’* To mosC'of them,’ thez eriu “ motion picture ” meant the ordinary^

‘ movie,” with its silent unfolding of the'/. Irama of life. f

Nor was there any outward .evidence of '!, significant departure when, the lights were j urned down, llcfore the audience stood / the familiar screen, and behind it, on. aiu. improvised elevation, the nose of a pro-, [ecling-machinc poked out. * But if '.any$. me had looked up, he would have -seen.'j lwo wires running along the ceiling / and> :oiinccting the picture-umchinc with the.jj >creen. These wires had an important partT in the day’s disclosures. 4

The buzz of talk continued’ even after j' the machine began its preliminary sputter¬ ing. A conventional drawing-room interior,* containing a piano, was thrown . on' the, screen. A man in evening clothes, walked swiftly down toward. the center of , the pic¬ tured stage. He raised his Stands, vaud then tlic miracle happened, lie Trained1 hi^ j lips to speak, and, even as he framed. them,’ • the sound of his voice came.' forth. \ . By jf. watching the lips carefully, you could tell jn that the words you heard were -in ; reality H the speech he was uttering. : ?v There. was] j perfect unison between sound and action., ••Ti. Then he introduced a girl, who played ||

is they sea m pc re i

Other demonstrations followed. Yui saw and heard part of an act of " Tin Chimes of Normandy’’; you beheld tin story of a Dick Turpin spoken ami aclcii in every detail; you laughed at the droller) of a politician trying to make a speech t« his constituents while being coached fron behind; you heard Verdi’s “Miserere”; ym got the opening of a minstrel -show, hones ’ 'nckface, jokes, and all.

When J.liC'* display dosed with the ii.su a “grand 'finale by the entire company,’ which included the singing of the “Star Spangled Banner,” it was so real, so vivid and so stirring that the audience rose to it: feet. It was a spontaneous tribute to tin

pgipm

Do It Electrically!

r ERBERT SPENCER says ' there are only five great dates in history. Let us make it seven to-

First, the year Four Hundred Fifty B. C., when Athens was at her height.

Next, the year One, when Rome bloomed and blossomed and when a tragedy was worked out in a Roman prov¬ ince that is still influencing - the world profoundly.

Next we get tire year Five Hundred, when Justinian and .Theodora formulated the Jus¬ tinian Code to- About this time also, another thing happened, to wit : Three little Teutonic tribes on the Southern shores of the Baltic packed up all their earthly effects, being sore pressed, on one side by the Romans and on the other by the Northmen, and sailed around to Brittany, and their descendants are there yet — aiso their descendants circle the globe, and their drum-taps greet the rising sun.

The next great date was Fourteen Hundred

Ninety-two, when Columbus gave the world a continent.

Next comes that unforgetable year, Seventeen Hundred Seventy-six, when Thomas Jefferson said, “ Not for the glory of God, but for the benefit of man.”

The next great date is Eighteen Hundred Seventy-six, when Thomas A. Edison, Alex¬ ander Graham Bell of Boston, Professor Gray of Oberlin, and Professor Dolbear of Tufts, simultaneously presented the world the tele¬ phone; and when Thomas A. Edison jnoved to Menlo Park and began-working'tffe miracles that resulted in the incandescent lamp, the trolley-car, the storage-battery and the dyna¬ mos that turn the countless wheels of trade so- Edison, above all other living men, through his work, issued an emancipation proclamation that has given us time to think, to laugh, to play, to enjoy, to read, to study in short, to become t>» so-

» The problem of getting a living has been solved,” says James J. Hill, “ but we have yet to learn how wisely to make use of our leisure moments."

As Fourteen Hundred Ninety-two was the time of the Great Awakening— when Colum-

bus sailed; Michelangelo painted, modeled, builded, wrote; when Leonardo lived and could do more tilings, and do them well, than any other man of his time, or perhaps of all time ; when Gutenberg’s invention of movable type was sending printed leaflets over the round world, carrying messages of good-will, wit and wisdom — so will the year Eighteen Hundred Seventy-six be a great white mile¬ stone on the path of progress.

The path of progress from now on will not be a thorn road, tortuous, grievous, stony and dangerous, but a great highway, paved with brick, twenty feet wide, stretching from ocean to ocean, mudless, dustless, skidless, over which we will journey in joy at a safe and reasonable speed.

Let the next great date in history be the year Nineteen Hundred Thirteen, when the dream of the Lincoln Highway from ocean to ocean will cease to be a dream and begin to be a

Camp Co-operation

S B IRITE on the tablets of your memory the W dates September Third, Fourth, Fifth, Sixth, Nineteen Hundred Thirteen, when at Camp Co-operation, Association Island, Lake Ontario, the Society for Electrical Develop¬ ment advanced so far as to make its early realization a certainty.

The germ of the idea, however, was bom years before, in the seething, restless brain of J. Robert Crouse, but on September Fourth and Fifth the idea passed from the chrysalis stage into that of tangible, living life.

This meeting at Camp Co-operation, Associa¬ tion Island, was in many respects the most unique and important commercial meeting held in this country in many years. The invi¬ tations were extended to the guests, in behalf of Association Island Corporation, by a committee consisting of George F. Morrison and Franklin S. Terry, with the co-operation of J. Robert Crouse, acting as Manager of the meeting. The guests consisted of the presidents of the leading electrical associations — national, state and city — from all parts of the United States and Canada, together with the most distinguished leaders in the financial and electrical world. J. B. McCall of Philadelphia, President of the National Electric Light Association, acted as Chairman of the meeting «•- so.

No man among the two hundred who were

present on that occasion will ever forget the meeting so. so.

There were six notable addresses — clear, sharp, vivid, crystalline messages by world-makers. C. These men were Doctor Charles P. Stein- metz, Frank A. Vanderlip, Samuel Insull, Henry L. Doherty, the Honorable F. P. Fish and Doctor Darlington.

Years ago I remember talking with Mr. Edison, and in the course of our conversation I asked him if he knew a certain person, naming the man, who just then was much in the public prints, but who in later years has succeeded in escaping observation.

“ Yes,” said Mr. Edison, “ I know him, and he is a good fellow. He is the man who is always just about to do something."

The six men I have named above are not only men who are about to do something, but they are men who have done it.

And, curiously enough, what these men just mentioned have already accomplished seems to them small and insignificant.

In the course of three days’ frolic and play and laughter and earnest discussion, I heard no boast from the lips of these men as to what they had done. The past lay behind. And I thought of the saying, “ When what you have done in the past looms large to you, you have not done much today.”

Doctor Steinmetz

DOCTOR STEINMETZ is the last word in electrical development. Physically he is sore stricken by the hand of unkind Fate, but when you meet him your pity very soon runs off into admiration, as you catch a little of his enthusiasm, his hope, his bubbling wit, his courage, his noble imagination. For what is inventive genius save love with seeing eyes? so. to.

Steinmetz, next to Edison^is our great modem mechanical prophet. Steinmetz seems possessed of faculties beyond the average man. He has an intuitional sense that is almost uncanny so- so.

His " boys ” may work on an electrical problem for a year or more and fail to make it tangible. Steinmetz will then sit down and look at the machine for about five minutes, light a cigar, blow a cloud of smoke through it, and behold, the thing starts and chaos becomes cosmos 1

The subtlety and keenness of the man’s power, with his ability to talk lucidly, logic-

December

THEFRF1

ally, simply and sanely, mark him as one of the world-makers.

When Doctor Eliot, then President of Harvard University, conferred the degree of Master of Arts upon Steinmetz, he did it with the words : “ I confer this degree upon you as the foremost electrical engineer of the United States, and, therefore, of the world.”

If in some respects he has gone beyond Edison, the fact must not be forgotten that he has built on the master. Edison had not only to discover the principles of electricity, but he had to manufacture the machines to control the current.

Well did Steinmetz say that in untamed Nature electricity is the most- useless thing you can mention. Without the genius of man it is purely destructive in its nature.

Steinmetz resents being called an inventor. He says: "I am only an engineer. My business is to construct engines that will transport an elemental form of energy into a million factories and homes, dividing this energy up into infinitesimal parts so it can be practically used to run sewing-machines, to chum, to wash dishes and to do the dead lift and drudgery that otherwise would have to be done by human hands.”

So let Steinmetz stand as a type of the modem engineer, who not only is an engineer, but is an artist, an economist, a teacher, a humanist.

Frank A. Vanderlip

IVjEXT we get Frank A. Vanderlip, Presi- l w dent of the National City Bank of New York, an institution with deposits of four hundred million dollars, that has twenty-five thousand customers, with correspondents in all the principal cities of the world and in a thousand cities and towns in America.

Bom on a farm in Illinois in semi-pioneer times, brought up to work with his hands, to help his mother take care of the garden, look after livestock, ran errands, make himself useful, Vanderlip has evolved step by step until he is the most influential man, perhaps, in the financial world in America today. Vanderlip was private secretary to Lyman Gage — Secretary of the Treasury— and it is no discredit to Lyman Gage that the secretary is a bigger man than his chief.

Vanderiip’s address at Camp Co-operation turned on the necessity of properly financing electrical enterprises that would be needed by the people during the next five years. He

emphasized, in this connection, the great need of cultivating the popular good-will and appreciation of public utilities, electrical enter¬ prises, and the sound present and future place of electricity in the world’s work.

His estimate was that at least four hundred million dollars each year of new capital would be required. Where this money would come from, and how it could be secured, was the theme e«»

Vanderiip’s hope in the future is large. He is essentially an optimist.

Most bankers are brakemen. They fight on the defensive.

Originality, ' initiative, enterprise, are things beyond their scope. Loans have to be pried out of them with a financial jimmy. They are usually from Joplin. Sometimes they ask not only that they be shown, but that they be supplied comprehension. Frank A. Vanderlip and George M. Reynolds are types of the new kind of banker, men with prophetic insight, great faith in their fellows, love of kind, and without being “ easy marks ” they recognize opportunity and point the way to it.

It was good to see that a man can be a great banker and still be a human being, with eyes, ears, hands, feet, dimensions, passions. Steinmetz is a practical joker, and no man enjoyed his quips and quirks and Marshall Wilder wheezes more than Vanderlip. Vanderlip has faith in himself. Yet he makes no claim to infallibility. He is a learner, a student, a thinker — a kindly, generous, gentle

l( Samuel Insull

THE 'third world-maker was Samuel Insull, formerly private secretary to Edison ; also hands and feet and eyes and ears for Edison. Ways and means are his playthings. He is what the French call an entrepreneur. CL He is a businessman, an economist, an employer, a teacher, and his principal business just now is to educate the world to an increased consumption of electric power.

Insult's address was not insulated by opacity. The whole thing was illumined, and without glare. It turned on the necessity of educating the world to the fact that electricity was the cheapest and most effective form of energy, “ the handmaiden of civilization.”

One of the most impressive things that Insull said was : “ Within five years I have purchased at a fair profit to" the builders thirty-nine

electric Central Stations or producing-plants.

I am now supplying all, of the customers of these plants from one Central Station. The change has been made to the distinct gain of the consumer, in that the cost of power has been reduced on the average.”

Mr. Insull also called attention to the fact that while the high cost of living prevailed in all commodities, yet electricity and electric equipment and appliances have steadily decreased in price.

For instance, the electric lamps that are now being supplied to the public are so vastly increased in efficiency that the public can now secure practically three times l he amount of light, for the same consumption of energy, as was possible three or four years ago. Not only this, but through the activities of the Research Laboratories of this country and Europe there is likely to be available, in the comparatively near future, lighting equip¬ ment in the way of incandescent lamps of even higher efficiency, which will confer tremendous benefits on the public.

The Honorable F. P. Fish

THE next big man was the Honorable F. P.

Fish of Boston, perhaps the most compe¬ tent patent attorney in the United States, and the best authority on the law of patents. Mr. Fish’s address on the Principles of Re-Sale was instructive, interesting, convin¬ cing, and revealed a grasp of economic prob¬ lems which very few men in the wide world possess so- so-

Doctor Darlington

ffVJEXT there was an address by Doctor la Darlington, for many years a member of the New York Board of Health, on the subject of factory betterments.

Doctor Darlington showed a large number of stereopticon slides, pictures taken by himself, showing what big business had done and was doing for the workman ; all this for the selfish reason that when you better the health and increase the moral and intellectual status of a worker, you get an increased return in service. C. Doctor Darlington showed pictures of school-gardens, back-yards, beautiful homes, roadways, happy children, modem factory construction — illustrating safety, convenience, efficiency, all to the end that the worker might grow and evolve into a better worker and a better man, and that his family shall have not only the necessities and comforts, but a ’good

many of the luxuries of life. Call it Applied Christianity if you wish.

Doctor Darlington himself rather objected to tire use of the expressions “ uplift ” and “ welfare work.” He called it enlightened self- interest, and his argument was that altruism is self-preservation — the Golden Rule in action. Some of the Big Boys

SO there you have it : Steinmetz the mechan¬ ical technician ; Vanderlip the financier ; Fish the legal expert ; Insull the entrepreneur ; Doherty the builder of cities ; Darlington the social promoter and past master in sanitary cience 1 so- so-

There were also able addresses by Senator Will rd Howland ; J. B. McCall, President Nat.onal Electric-Light Association; A. W. Beresford, of the American Institute of Elec¬ trical Engineers ; George H. Harris, President American Street-Railway Association ; Frank H. Smith, Vice-President of the Electric- Vehicle Association; Anson W. Burcliard, Vice-President of the General Electric Com¬ pany; S. O. Richardson, Junior, President Association Island Corporation ; Norman Mac¬ beth of the Illuminating Engineers Society ; Thomas Debevoise and W. E. Robertson of the Electrical Supply Jobbers Association; Ernest McCleary of the National Electrical Contractors Association.

Then there were some goodly oratorical kilo¬ watts by F. E. Watts, Jupiter the Jovian Order so- so-

The Honorable John H. Roemer, Chairman of the Railroad Commission of Wisconsin, gave an especially illuminating address on the relation of the State to Public Utilities.

In the past it has been the habit for a State Commissioner to view a public utility as a sort of quasi-enemy of the people. Mr. Roemer made the point clear that the interests of the public utilities and the people were identical, and that any service supplied below cost and a reasonable profit was sure to be a disap¬ pointing one.

Mr. Roemer supplied a smile by saying that while he was nominally in “ the enemies’ country ’’ he felt very much at home.

Mr. Roemer’s able speech and genial presence added much to the success of. the meeting so- Henry Ford was an electrician before he went into the Aladdin business. He was one of Edison’s boys— and is yet. Edison calls Henry Ford his biggest discovery. His heart is in

THE FRR

everything electric, and he is in “ contact ” with this new and splendid work.

Henry L. Doherty

OENRY L. DOHERTY is President of the Society for Electrical Development <*» Doherty is an inventor, a mechanician, a financier, a builder and a teacher.

Very seldom do you find a man who is success¬ ful in so many lines or human endeavor. The successful man is usually a specialist, and his achievement is bought with a price.

Doherty is ballasted with brains. He is equipped with commonsense, and as Stein- metz put it, “ he is wired for service.”

He never gets mentally short-circuited, because his humor is a saving fuse.

Here is a man who has taken numerous bank¬ rupt electric concerns, and turned on the quick current or prosperity. He is the most practical man on the electric job. He thinks constructively. His life is an affirmation. He is a graduate, and a post-graduate, of the Univeisity of Hard Knocks. He has grown by elimination, and knows everything that will not work. And so we find him today in his early forties, a success, untainted by selfish¬ ness, and unspoiled by flattery.

Doherty thinks logically ; his verb fetches up ; he says things. As an orator the honey of Hymettus is on his lips. He possesses the graces of health, good nature, broad mentality, a firm grasp on the facts, and a high apprecia¬ tion of the eternal fitness of things. With it all he has a becoming modesty. He does not shilly-shally and yet he is never cocksure ft- Doherty is a leader of men — and naturally he is of Milesian ancestry.

But his shillalah has transformed itself into a flute. Doherty is a citizen of the wide world, and he will leave the world a better place than he found it. He is a Themistocles, who can take a poverty-stricken hamlet and make of it a beautiful, happy, prosperous city.

Edison

WHETHER men of equal prominence and worth in the electrical world were ever brought together at one time and place I do not know.

Only the presence of one man was required to make the meeting absolutely complete. That ■ was Mr. Edison. It was expected that he would be on hand. At the last moment it was found that he could not come. The letter he wrote to Secretary Morrison was reproduced

by photographic process, with his signature omitted, and Mr. Edison signed the two hun¬ dred fifty letters in person.

When you want tilings done call on a busy man. The other kind has no time.

If there is a man in the wide world whose moments are as valuable as those of 'Mr. Edison I can not name him. Nevertheless he has time to write letters with his own hand. Here is the letter lie wrote to Morrison :

FROM THE LABORATORY OF THOMAS A. EDISON*

Orange, N. J., August 18, 1913.

Morrison :

My wife left for vacation on 12tli. She said, “ 1 suppose when I am gone it will be the old story, ' When the Cat is away the mice will — Work.’ ”

She mode me promise to join her on the 25th, so 1

Regards to all the boys,

Yours,

THOS. A. EDISON. Next, I can not resist the temptation to give tlie letter written to me by his secretary, Mr. Meadowcroft :

FROM THE LABORATORY OF THOMAS A. EDISON

Orange, N. J., August 23, 1913.

Dear Mr. Hubbard :

Just a line to let you know that Mr. Edison finished signing the letters this morning and that I sent them to you by express this noon.

Mr. Edison had been working all night through. Left for bieakfast 7.40 this morning and returned at 8.30, and has been working hard all day. He leaves for Maine tomorrow morning.

With kind regards,

Yours sincerely,

WM. H. MEADOWCROFT. Talk about the eight-hour law! Note how Mr. Meadowcroft speaks of Edison working all night, going to breakfast at seven-forty, getting back at eight-thirty.

For distribution at the meeting I prepared a special sketch of the life of Mr. Edison. After the manuscript was complete we had some misgivings about printing without the consent . of the chief.

A copy was therefore sent to him with some trepidatiw. I reproduce the letter that was received from Mr. Meadowcroft, with return of the manuscript :

West Orange, N. J., August 9, 1913. Dear Mr. Hubbard:

Mr. Edison has looked your manuscript over as per your request, and I return it to you herewith.

Mr. Edison says that the work appeals to him ns being both picturesque and poetic.

THE FRH

December

He wishes me to thank you for telling him a few facts about himself concerning which he was hereto¬ fore totally unaware.

There seems to be no objection to your printing tire matter as proposed.

Sincerely yours,

WM. H. MEADOWCROFT. Secretary. Mr. Edison is very much in sympathy with the plans of the Society for Electrical Develop¬ ment so- so-

Society for Electrical Development UST here it occurs to me that some one may ask what the object of this Society is.

C, Its intent is implied in its name. Its pur¬ pose is to increase the consumption of the electric current, and therefore add to the well-being of the public and the business interests of all the members.

The members are firms and companies, not merely individuals.

The Jovian Society represents a membership of individuals who are interested in the busi¬ ness of producing the current, selling it, or manufacturing, selling or dealing in electrical appliances so- so-

The object of the Jovian Society is largely social. It gets men together who are in the same line of business. They go to school to each other — to use the phrase of Professor Edward J. Ward of the University of Wis¬ consin — and men who meet together, sing together, laugh and eat together do not go away and defame one another.

Animation, good-cheer, enthusiasm, are all very tangible assets in business.

The Jovians now have a membership of over twelve thousand, and include practically all of the big boys in the business, from Edison, Steinmetz, Insull, down.

The Society for Electrical Development aims to secure the entire co-operation of the great electrical business— co-operation being repre¬ sented by the firms and corporations, as contrasted with the individual co-operation for good-fellowship and fraternity, as repre¬ sented in the Jovian Order.

“ Do It Electrically,” is the slogan of the Society o* so-

Less than thirty per cent of the population in America are served electrically. And yet in the face of advancing prices in every other line, electricity and electrical appliances have steadily, surely decreased.

The gross sales of the electric current and electric appliances for the year Nineteen

Hundred Twelve were close upon a thousand million dollars, and this does not include the matter of telephone tolls, which of themselves figure a sum total of .bout two hundred fifty million dollars, or a little more than the total receipts of the Post-Office Department.

The expense in selling the current and the appliances required in using, it average more than ten per cent, or, say, a hundred million dollars a year. Much of the expense incurred by electrical men in marketing their wares is on account of the effort to secure business which some rival already has ; that is to say, central plants and manufacturers, dealers and contractors are bidding against one another. And in many instances there is a competition which is wasteful.

If the money expended in trying to get busi¬ ness away from one another were used wisely to secure new business, it would be a great advantage to the electric world and to the public at large. And this is one betterment that the Society proposes to bring about so- No society was ever formed in any line of business on a more generous, liberal and unselfish basis. It is, “ All together all of the time, for everything Electrical.”

The question is not, Shall a producer of the current, or a manufacturer and dealer in electrical appliances, join this Society, but, Can he' afford not to?

This is exactly what the Society for Electrical Development is doing, only it proposes, if possible, to do it better than the Steel men have done, and in fact they should do it better, because they have the example of these strong men before them. They can avoid the mistakes of the past, utilizing the betterments so so

In short, the Society for Electrical Develop¬ ment is simply a great scheme for education, not only the education of the public at large, but the education of every man who is in the business of producing the current or harness¬ ing it and supplying it for the use of man so It is universally considered that the bringing together of men. in the same line of human endeavor is a very great advantage and bene¬ fit. 'It educates, gives courage, widens the view, and expands business interests for the good of everybody. The best example of this is in the Steel industry. The consumption or steel per capita in dollars is today double what it was fifteen years ago.

Unbound Clippings Series Clippings (1914)

These clippings cover the year 1914. Most of the items are taken from newspapers, but there are several longer magazine articles as well. Included are articles pertaining to Edison's kinetophone (talking motion pictures); his new dictation-related inventions, the transophone and the telescribe; and his rapid production of carbolic acid (phenol) at Silver Lake, New Jersey, to compensate for supplies cut off by the war. Also included are clippings about Edison’s vacation in Florida with Henry Ford and John Burroughs; his opinions about the deleterious effect of cigarettes, which were vigorously contested by Percival S. Hill of the American Tobacco Co.; the wedding of his daughter Madeleine to John Eyre Sloane; and his comments on the role of German Jews in the outbreak of the war. A few clippings refer to the fire of December 9 that destroyed much of the West Orange manufacturing works.

In addition, there are articles about the dissolution of the Mexican National Phonograph Co. and the long dormant Edison Phonograph Co. Other clippings report the deaths of Glenmont gardener Michael Doyle, longtime Edison associates Richard N. Dyer and Francis W. Jones, and rival electric light inventor Joseph Swan. There are also clippings about the accidental deaths of employees William F. Benedict and Henry K. Fass, as well as former associate William McMahon, whose body was found floating in the Hudson River.

Approximately 50 percent of the clippings have been selected. In addition to numerous duplicate versions of most of the stories, the unselected items include articles about the health effects of tobacco; a new anti¬ tuberculosis film; and the promotion of the Diamond Disc phonograph.

Additional clippings about the wedding of Madeleine Edison can be found in Cat. 44,450 in the Scrapbook Series. Most of the news stories about the fire of December 1914 can be found in Cat. 44,509 and Cat. 44,510 in the Scrapbook Series.

<5 Although Mr. Edison's unjustified attack involved only the PAPER — and not the tobacco— of ckarettes, ! believe, however, that MR. EDISON, AS A CIGAR SMOKER, PIPE LOVER, TO¬ BACCO CHEWER and cigarette hater, will be particularly interested in the following extract from a report issued by the London "Lancet,” the greatest medical authority in the world:

“It was .found that the CIGARETTE, whether Egyptian, Turkish, or American, gelded the LEAST 'AMOUNT of its total nicotine to the smoke formed ; THE PIPE YIELDED A VERY LARGE PROPORTION {in some cases 70 to 00 per cent.) , of its nicotine to the smoke reaching the mouth of the consumer; and the analysis of cigar smoke gave figures midway between the two. From the point of view of nicotine poison- ina. therefore, assuming that equal amounts of tobacco are smoked, THE CIGARETTE WOULD APPEAR TO BE THE LEAST HARMFUL FORM OF SMOKING, and the pipe the worst, the cigar occupying an intermediate position ill this respect, judg¬ ing from the amount of nicotine contained in the smoke therefrom."

I- , Talking Machine

Out of the Inigo number of inven- tioiut pertaining to talking machines, Lhere'hns appeared in tlie Patent Of- lice a .simple clarifying, articuluting, amplifying attachment for these ma- chinos; which M. B. Claussett. the inventor,: says was 'disco veredby tlie accidental touching of u tine needle with ’the finger while n record was being, played. Mr. Clnunscn in his statement for tlie benefit of the Scientific 'American said that ‘'he immediately conceived tlie idea that if heipould add power to the vibra¬ tion of ‘this fine needle it would re¬ produce all ' there was ill the record • with volume equal to that of a heavy nccdld, without any of the heavy ncedkds effects such as scratch and undertone. " By means of a disk at¬ tached., to tlie needle near its point the desired volume was obtained,; and tones never heard before were brought forth." It is declared that as', a result, “the singer or musician, was, in (.lie ruuni, not in the box. \ It reproduced all tlie artist put into tlie record dn tlie artist's nuturul voice

telephone and tlie talking machine were! .very imperfect, inusmuch ns the enunciation wns not us plum and distinct us the human voice in its ordinary use. This has been em¬ phasized in tlie place of the "talking movies." The discovery of Mr. Ciaussen may revolutionizo the re¬ production of talking machine re¬ cords, and pave tlie way to more perfect- results in I, lephonic com-

Carbolic acid is distinctly one of the things about which we are hear¬ ing so much blue talk nowadays, that " can't be made in this country.” Our coal has all’ been tested, Mr. Meadow- croft tells ni'e, and appears to be deficient in the elements that produce it.

MANUFACTURERS OF AMERICA

WE WANT to print more articles like this, as much better as you will allow us information to make them. We want to record more achievements like this, done in the splendid spirit of ’76. We want to hold up to admiration and encouragement the wonderful examples of resourceful¬ ness and enterprise that are sure to emerge from this unexampled situation, so fraught with marvelous possibilities for American industry.

We don’t want your trade secrets. This article itself shows how far we are content to waive our ordinary standards of reporting. We want to bulletin the progress of industry under these extra¬ ordinary conditions, and are satisfied with the basic facts. If we can show what our commercial strategists are actually accomplishing under war-time stress we will be ourselves making an un¬ precedented approach toward this mag¬ azine’s idea of helpfulness and service.

HOW HE GOT IDEAS

Unbound Clippings Series Clippings (1915)

These clippings cover the year 1915. Most of the items are taken from newspapers, but there are several longer magazine articles as well. Many of the clippings relate to Edison’s opinions about the war in Europe, his appointment as chairman of the newly formed Naval Consulting Board, and the use of Edison storage batteries in submarines. Also included are clippings concerning the fire of December 1914 and subsequent rebuilding efforts; he debate about the respective merits of brick and concrete structures; and the report of the National Fire Protection Association and National Board of Fire Underwriters, which attributed the fire to the lack of protective measures on the part of the Edison company, mistakes by the West Orange Water Co., and an undermanned local fire department. Some of the articles report tensions between the West Orange Fire Dept, and the Edison company s brigade of volunteer fire fighters.

In addition, there are clippings regarding Edison's plans to shut down his cement plant at Stewartsville, New Jersey, because of slumping sales; the deaths of longtime associates Charles E. Chinnock and H. Ward Leonard, Edison's receipt of various medals and honors; his views on protecting the chemical industry through trade laws; and his development of a miner s lamp and a powerful portable searchlight. There are also many items pertaining to the visit by Edison and Henry Ford to the Panama-Pacific International Exposition in San Francisco; their meeting with botanist Luther Burbank; their trip to Los Angeles; and Edison's attendance at the Panama-Califorma Exposition in San Diego.

Approximately 20 percent of the clippings have been selected. Most of the unselected items are duplicate versions of stories about Edison s appointment to the Naval Consulting Board and his trip to California. Also unselected are clippings, unrelated to Edison, about submarines, the war, and the California expositions.

Most of the news stories about the fire of December 1 914 and its aftermath can be found in Cat. 44,509 and Cat. 44,510 in the Scrapbook Series. Hundreds of additional clippings about the Nava]C°nsulting Board and Edison's visit to California can be found in Cat. 44,452, Cat. 44,453, and Cat. 44,454 in the Scrapbook Series.
