The article cites a Scientific American issue quoting Mr. Edison about a device to reveal personality after death. He says a collaborator worked out the details and might use it first, likening it to an instrument akin to a microscope or telescope for the psychic realm.
The piece notes both parties hyping hopes ahead of Tuesday with visions of landslides and electoral counts. It contrasts Hays predicting 395 votes for Harding with Hughes in 1916 and Cox supporters hoping to echo Wilson 1916. It warns silent voters may decide, amid bluff and faint signals from party leaders.
Thomas A. Edison rebuffs reports he joined spiritualists while signaling openness to demonstration. He questions persistence of personality after death but proposes a delicate apparatus to magnify slight efforts by spirits or investigators, aiming to give science a clearer look at psychic contact.
A summary of Liberty bond redemptions totaling nearly 2 billion of an 21.5 billion issue, with purchases by the war finance corporation, retirements via bond purchase and sinking funds, and inheritance tax settlements. It notes Europe’s repayment potential, the U.S. wartime financing burden, and mentions Halloween and political satire as side remarks about postwar events and figures like J. Hamilton Lewis.
A humorous, period tone examination of woman suffrage argues it neither threatens safety nor solemnity. Anecdotes include a Missouri schoolteacher punishing students for Cox buttons and a playful take on Civil Service wives campaigning. It notes women on the stump are vocal but not hushed, and women remain a colorful yet potent presence in parties.
Betty, teased for a faulty foot and called Crippy, receives aid from Happy Giggles a Makebelieve friend. They visit a sick family, Betty helps restore the home and soon the neighbors’ children call her Happy, discovering that serving others lifts her spirits.
A reflective note describes Betty, once challenged by a short leg, growing happier by assisting others. The piece contrasts misery with acts of care, suggesting her focus on others lifts her spirits and shapes a brighter outlook for the Little girl.
A collage of quips, puns, and captions from Smythe to Baltimore American and other papers. Snippets include a left handed compliment, a pirate song, a footballer’s muddled reply, a stenographer gag, and a theater drinking-scene note.
A compilation of quoted opinions from major papers including New York Telegraph, Washington Post, Pittsburgh Press, Chicago News, and Chicago Star. The voices critique political life, economic policy, and domestic issues with irony and forceful language. Notable figures referenced include William Jennings Bryan and Bevan. The clippings discuss office running, price signals, prohibition, and diplomacy.
