A story writer who catered for the
boys of fifteen or twenty years ago
built up many thrilling tales about
mechanical contrivance in the form Of
man. Such machine-"Hercules,
the Iron Man"-was actually on eXhi-
bition last summer In an American
park, about which he perambulated in
the. following undesired and inconven.
lent fashion:
He was eight feet high, and when
the oil fire inside him was lighted, and
steam generated, he walked about
pushing sort of iron-wheeled cart.
He wore tall hat and hideous grin,
and pulled exhaust steam through mis-
nostrils.
Late one night some of the campers
at the park lighted the fire in Hercules
after the resort was closed and the
owner of the figure had gone away.
The valve had been left open when the
fire was put out, and when steam was
generated again the man began to walk
about the park. For Il little while he
surpassed Frankenstein's monster.
No one knew how to stop him, and
he walked all over the park. through
the lake and the camping ground.
Sleepers in his path had to be awak-
ened to get them out of the way, for
1t was impossible to control the steam
mans movements. Inequalities in the
ground. trees, and other distractions
turned him aside, but did not stop him.
He terrorized the park for an hour,
but, like many human being, came
to grief at the gate. He marched up
to it. bumped against 1t. toppled over
and alighted on his head. Thus he
remained, kicking his feet in the air,
until his steam went down.

Taxpayers Being Ridden to Deaths

Taxpayers Bein. Ridden to Death
The Fifty-seventh Congress is teach
ing us lesson that is too expensive
not to be thoughtfully studied. The
$4,000, 100000 expenditure of the peo-
pies money will break all American
records for extravaganza. On top of
this will come the voting away Of near
ly $200,000,000 of the peoples money
in subsidies to enable certain ship own
ers "to carry on their private business
for their own private gain to better
advantage" The time has come for
American taxpayers to call halt.
They are being ridden to death in the
interest of the syndicates.-St. Louis
Republic.
The Pnblic Will Have No Benefit.
The payment of subsidies to vessels,
whether they carry cargoes or not, is
a gratuity of no use to the public. The
payment of subsidies will not have the
effect of reducing freight rates par
ticle. The Frye bill allows subsidies
to vessels regardless of their ages. An
old, obsolete type steamer may get a
subsidy. If the Senate thinks this kind
of business is popular it is likely to dis
cover that it is possible for its judg-
ment to make a Observation-Disclosures

The Senate and the House are unable
to agree on the Hamann interurban bill
which was amended by the Senate. The

Sanguinetti Arvizo, who is said to have given the customs officers trouble for some time, had preliminary hear ing before Court Commissioner John Doan and, on Tuesday, was bound over to await the action of the federal grand jury. It seems that Arvizo brought his jerky up the river, and at the customs house not knowing the weight of his lerky, secured temporary permit to enter the port. He afterwards returned and cleared with the GUS toms officer for 100 pounds, but upon investigation 1t was learned that he had disposed of BIO pounds and had received payment for that amount.
