This Is not history that am trying
to write now. Nor would care very
greatly about any dignity which may
attach to journalistic sketch. What
I would like to do is to make the peo-
pie know what manner Of man this Is
who is making struggle for the
presidential nomination. To begin
with, he ia the most democratic of
men-always approachable, always
pleasant. He has curious diffidence
which to the men who see him for
the first time, is possibly somewhat
repugnant. He is in no sense speak
or, although he has in late years
become very successful writer Of po-
lit1cal editorials and speeches. Rich as
he is, his interests is largely centered
upon what Stead called the submerged
tenth. can remember time after
time when he and I drove up from
our Office and he would, by choice,
take the route through the congested
East Side Bis conversation in the
carriage at such times would be
wholly of the sqaalid conditions of
the people in the swarming tene-
ments. and of the possible ways in
which their state might be ameliorat-
ed. :: Unlike some Of the other New
York millionaires, he does not own
tenement houes, and at the same time
belong to societies for the Improve
ment of the condition of the poor.
0It is apparent at this writing that
attacks are g Be made upon M:
Hearst based on his private chara cter
This is subject which is difficult for
anyone to touch upon, and which in
politics should not be raised. take
pleasure in having this opportunity to
say that in somewhat extended
acquaintance, know of no young
man Of large wealth who has lead a
mere clearly life than he. Where
some men devote their millions to
mere pleasure, he had devoted his to
building up great chain of news
papers. He has worked, and 1t is not
as easy for q millionaire to work as 1t
Is for him to invest his surplus means
in an institution which will bring to
him publicity and honor. So far as I
can recall, he has never interested
himself in any of the lines of so-called
sport, to which the New York mill
ionaire, as rule, gives most of bis
attention. He owns no horses. He
did own steam yacht Of modest
size which he gave freely to the
United States Government at the be.
ginning of the Spanish War. It might
be proper at this point to recall the
fact that a good many of the other
millionaires of New York sold their
yaeths to the government at price
very much beyond what people having
cognizance of the value of such YES
sells thought them worth. While in no
way Puritan, Mr.. Hearst does not
drink. His life in all ways is temper
ate. In brief, it is fair and just to say
Of him emphatically, since the issue
has been raised, that there are few
men Of his age, and wealth and his
public standing who are better fitted
to stand the test of public opinion
than he

newspapers published now in New
York, Boston, Chicago, San Francisco
and Los Angeles-he has at all times
strongly supported the democratic
doctrine, which began with Thomas
Jefferson and which was reaf6rmed
for:.the first time when the democra-
tic convention, in Chicago in 1885,
brought the party sharply back into
its historic lines. No man has at
tackled so strongly as he the monopo-
listic trusts which prey upon the peo-
pie of the nation. AS Mr. J. G..
Phelps Stokes. one Of the wealthy
men in the city Of New York, a
man who has devoted his life and his
money to the interests of the poor,
man who lives in a social settlement
and has studied the needs Of the toll
ing masses, said of Mr.. Hearst, "He
has emphasized the truth that where
ever the interests OF. individuals or of
groups are advanced by means that
disregard consideration of justice and
fair dealing, and especially when the
interests Of the majority are made
subordinate to the interests of the
few, 1t is right that individuals
should use fair means to arouse recog-
milton of the wrong.
''1n the campaign which followed the
Chicago convention, he was the means
of securing more and better support,
both financial and personal, than any
man in the nation. His Office was
hardly second to the headquarters of
the Democratic National Convention.

Says 1t Beats Whiskey.

j. H. Nicholes, of Wedgefield. s. c..
Delives that he has discovered process
to make drink out of watermelon iuice
which will supercede whiskey, says the
Topeka Capital, and he wants the Kan
sas State Board of Agriculture to assist
MIN In securing capital to exploit the
discovery.
Mr.. Nicholes says that he understands
that some of the farmers of Kansas are
raising watermelons Simply for the seed
and are throwing away the melons after
the seeds are extracted. He asserts that
this is simply throwing away millions of
dollars yearly.
In his, letter he SAYS:
have the necessary machinery plan
ned for separating and preserving water
melon juice, and I have process for
clearing the juice 80 that in few days il
Will looklike pure corn whiskey, and in
nifty or sixty days can give you a nice
drink with alcohol enough in it to make
you feel it if you drink tumbler full.
II believe in temperance according to
the Apostle Paul, and 1 have come to the
conclusion that whiskey, as made these
days, is an unnatural drink-two concen-
trated-and as long as ] can get water
melon juice, as | make it, I never will
drink any more whiskey.
II have sold the watermelon Juice for
81 per gallon, and there are millions in
it at 90 cents per gallon"

How II Is Done.

The general system under which is
conducted the speculation in cotton
futures is familiar to those who study
the market situation, but to the man
who never deals in cotton very little
Is known of the speculative scheme.
The buying and selling of cotton
and produce futures is done on a
basis of "margins," the customary
margin on a cotton transaction being
81 per bale, or one fifth of cent per
pound, the standard bale being fixed
always at 500 pounds. The customer
makes his contract through the dealer,
who may act as broker, or who may
himself become the party of the
second part to the contract. In the
latter case the dealer operates what
is known as a "bucket shop" The
usual cotton trade is one hundred
bales.
The customer places say, 800 with
the broker to margin one hundred
bales. This is margin of twenty
"points," the point being one one
hundredth of cent. The purchase
is made at the market price at the
time, and if the market advances the
purchaser wins. An advance of 20
points, or one-fifth of q cent per
pound means gain to the customer
of 500. An advance of one cent a
pound means gain of $500 and so
on. Vice versa a decline of 20 points
or one-fifth of cent a pound means
loss of 500, and the customers
margins are thus wiped out. He is
then called upon to put up more
margins to protect his purchase, and
in the event of failure to do this,
be loses the original margin plac ed
on the contract.
The selling of cotton futures is
practically the reverse process. The
customer desiring to sell, puts up
similar margins, which he loses in
the event of cotton rising a sufficient
number of points to wipe them out,
but if cotton should decline in price
he wins 500 for every 20 points it
goes down.

Got the Dog Fairly.

Two little boys were having what

looking man, who stopped and asked
swell, boys, what's the matter ?"
"We're telling lies for this here
dog" explained one of the young
sters, annoyed at being interrupted,
"and the one that tells the biggest
gets the cur"
"Do you not know, advised the
newcomer, sagely, cit is very wrong

a lie in my life."
The boys looked at each other in
credulously and then one of them
