From the Cincinnati, Ohio, Enquirer.

The life of mOtOrman is not bed OF
roses. He is subjected to many hardshlpS
especially in the winter when he is exposed
to the cold and snow. Even in the summe
he must bear the intense heat which beats
down upon him. Considerable nerve and
self possession is necessary in good otor-
man. for the lives and limbs of his pas
sengers are at stake. One of the best
known electric mOtOrmen in this city IS
William Frazer, who is at present running

is not only well known to his fellow EN-

II a mar has any latent talent
for misrepresentation a political
campaign will bring it ont. The
innocent voter cannot, of course,
be expected to trace every state
ment to it's source and demonstrate
its truth or falsity. The conse-
quence is that the wilful p~erverter
of truth flourishes like a green bay
tree. Ii one wished to become an
adept in the art of bearing false
witness, all that is necessary is to
take lessons in almost any politi~
cal campaign.
The American people, however
are characterized by an Inherent
love Of fair play. When any candi-
date, or his friends, come to the
front and deliberately lie about an
other candidate, although it may
win for q tune, it generally acts as
q boomerang. A false statement,
sprung upon the eve OF an election,
often serves it's purpose. If, how
ever, IL is made early in the cam
paign, there is timeto refute it and
cover its authors with the shame
which they deserve. When the
voters discover that an effort has
been made to delude and defraud
them, they are very apt to put their
thumb to their nose, twirl thei,
fingers in the air, and inform the
candidate it don't go.
No man likes to be deceived.
No man likes to be lied to, and he

THE SPANISH MAIN.
Earliest Use of the Term OF Compare
lively Recent Date.

Earliest Use of the Term OF Compare
lively Recent Date
We write and talk glibly enough of the
Spanish Main, but when did the phrase
first come into use, and what was its ex-
act geographical significance? The prev
alent idea, borrowed, We take it, from the
delightful romance of Westward Hor'
seems to be that the phrase was in COM
mon use among the EIizabethan sailors to
signify that part of the great American
continent on which the Spaniards had ef-
fected a settlement when we first broke
into the Caribbean Sea; that is TO saw
from Vera Cruz, in the Gulf of Mexico, to
the delta of the Orinoco. But we cannot
ind that the phrase was in use at that
time. In the pages of Hakluyt we read
! of the Main, of the Firm Land (which is.
OF course, literal translation of the
| Spanish term "tierra frma'') of "the
Mainland Coast of the Coast, of the In
dies or of the West Indies; but of the
! Spanish Main we have nowhere read.
Nor have we been able to find 1t IN the
writer's of the next centurys Dampier
does not use it, nor Lionel Wafer, nor the
translator OF Exquemelln's ''De America
ensche Zee Roovers"; it is not to be found
in Morgan's official reports OF his bucca-
neering exploits, nor in Rongrose's mar
rative, nor in Sharp's. In the map en-
graved for Dampiers Voyages" (I729)
the term Firm Land is employed to desig-
nate the territory now Occupied by the
republics OF Venezuela and Colombia.
The original TERRA Firma of the Span
iards, according to UIloa, included only
the provinces of Veragua, Panama and
Darien, with the city of Panama for its
capital.
We may be in error, and certainly we do
not profess that our researches have been
exhaustive, but the earliest use we have
found of the term the Spanish Main is in
'The Journal of Admiral James," lately
| published by the Navy Records Society.

CRUSHED IN AN ELEVATOR
Serious Accident to David Nc
Guire, Driver of a Butchers
Wagon.
He Thought the Iron Doors in the
Sidewalk at the Cafe Zinkand
Would Open.

David MCGUIRE, 1914 O'Farrell street
met with an accident yesterday morning
that may cost him his life.
Mcclure drives a delivery wagon for s.
Solomon, butcher, in the Grand Central
Market, and he has been in the habit of
delivering supplies at the Cafe Zinkand on
Market street. He used the street elevator
to save him the trouble and inconvenience
of carrying the meat downstairs to the
kitchen.
He went there about o'clock yesterday
morning with the usual supply of meat.
Leaving his wagon on the street he went
round and got to the street elevator. He
started it upward thinking that the iron
doors on the sidewalk would open as they
had always done before. Unfortunately
they did not open, and MaguireHwas
crushed against them.
His wagon was noticed outside, and as
he did not make his appearance it was sus-
pected that something was wrong. A
hurried search revealed the true state oi
matters and Mcclure was quickly released
from what may prove his death trap. He
was unconscious and it was thought he
was dying.
The patrol wagon was summoned and
the unconscious man was taken to the Re.
celylng Hospital. DIR. Thompson found 9
fracture at the base of the skull his right
