Much Talk over the Delegates "a.
nous Hyperbole.

A recent number of the Saturday
Evening Post refers to the statement
made by Mr.. Rodey in an address.
that he has stood on the streets of
Albuquerque and traced the stars in
their courses with clearer vision than
when he stood in Boston and watched
them through the greatest telescope
In the east. Delegate Rodey Is rep-
resented as putting In as an aside at
this juncture. Must be mighty poor
place for an occulist.' or course, Mr..
Rodey wa5 indulging in bit Of hy-
perbule for the sake OF making his
point. But the figure was allowable
and the point well taken. or course,
no one imagined that Mr.. Rodey ex-
pected TO be interpreted literally, but
he drew attention TO the marvellous
qualities OF the New Mexico atmos-
phere in manner that caused the
speech TO be quoted all over the Unit
ei States.
One New Mexico paper argues that
Mr.. Rodey was speaking the literal
truth when he made his now famous
assertion. Through the telescope in
question the moons OF Jupiter become
much larger than Jupiter to the naked
eye at her brightest and Jupiter be-
comes more than twice as large as
the moon. The writer who quotes
Mr.. Rodey literally wishes to
strengthen his argument by the state
ment that once from Las Vegas at mid
day he saw Venus a short distance
from the sun. The statement Is un-
fortunate In view OF the fact that
from the observatory OF the great tel
escope Venus may be seen more than
one hundred days Of the year with
naked eye. The reason the beautiful
planet Is so seldom visible in the Jay
time here is. Of course. the excessive
brilllancy of the sun.
