TWO GOOD REASONS.
Why Democrats Should Vote
for Roosevelt Q n ! Fairbanks
A Duty They Should
Not Neglect.

riISt.-lI YOU are DcuOCIdt
and do not believe in the Republi-
can policy of protection, but favor
"tariff for revenue only" it is
we'll for you to contemplate the fact
that no Democratic tariff ever did
produce enough revenue, but that
the same tinkering which eliminated
protection also created increas ing
deficit in the treasury, endangered
the gold reserve and with it the
parity of our silver and paper money
and necessitated large bond issues,
out of which Wall street syndicates
could get rakeoff, but on which
the American people must pay the
interest and ultimately the princi-
pal.
The expenses of the government
are now running close to the reve-
nue., and these expenses are for such
purposes as pensioning the old
soldiers, paying for the Panama
canal, irrigating the arid lands and
rendering useful service to agricul-
ture, to commerce and labor
through departments specially in
structed for such services, There
is no patriotic Democrat who can
desire expenditures for such objects
cut down so as to cripple the
prestige and efficiency of the 60
vernment, and hence no patriotic
Democrat, however ardently he may
believe in free trade, should vote
for a policy which would cut down
the revenues and pile up a disastrous
, deficit as during the last Democratic
administration. Since the war taxes
were taken off, several years ago,
here has been no safe room for
further reduction in the government
revenues. Anything that might be
taken off from the protective, in
direct taxes, would have to be put
on somewhere else where it would
be direct burden to tax payers, or
else mouey would have to be Dor
rowed to make up for the deficien-
cies IN revenue.
Second. If you are not only a
Democrat, but a Democrat of
of Jeffersonian" type, you
should vote the Republican ticket,
if only because Jefferson himself
stood for expansion as the Republ-
can party now standss The cir
cumstance for which Jefferson was
most severely criticised in his life
time, but which furnished the
leading reason why posterity honors
his memory, was his purchase Of
Louisiana Territory, which pur-
chase is now beng appropriately
commemorated by the great ex-
position at St. Louis. Had Jeffer-
son not made the deal with France
for the Louisiana Territory, he
would have escaped much bitter
criticism from the narrow minded
element of his own party while he
lived, but he would also have lost
for the United States the greatest
opportunity of history,

1t was only a flesh wound, but his leg

PITCH ANp ROLE oFssn,Ps
New Dssisn.of Vessel for r&sliexxins II
Just BROUGHT Out. .

New,lDesign, Of yessei for Relieving II
Just Brought Ont.
With the idea of remedying the pitch
and roll of ocean vessels, an entirely
new design of craft has been recently
brought out by N. Turc, an engineer in
the French navy. Forty years ago the
great English engineer. William
Froude, put in evidence very impor-
tant fact which has been studied and
verified recently by NJ. Berlin. This
fact is that every ship i'll which the
proper duration of oscillation of pitch
ing and rolling is longer than that of
the wave 1t encounters, rolls and
pitches but little on this wave. The
problem. then. is to discover boat
Of such a kind that the periods of
pitching and rolling which are proper
to the boat and which depend on Its
manner of loading and on the form of
the keel, shall be longer than those of
the largest wave which 1t shall en-
counter. y.
Beginning with lhese facts NJ Turc
planned his ship. This is composed OF
hull tapering both ways from the
middle, entirely under the water and
analogous to the keel OF submarine.
Surmounting this are two floats, point
ed both in front and In the rear,
placed abreast one another and of
slight floating sruface. This arrange
ment assures the transversal stability,
which will be all the greater the far
Their these floats are apart. In study
made by NJ. Turc with ship of this
type and of $500 tons displacement,
the height between the center OF grav-
ity and the metacenter was reduced
to 5000 Of meter, and the duration
of the rolling at normal immersion was
increased to twenty-five seconds-tllat
Is. greater than that Of the largest
wave.
In the longitudinal direction, and in
order to diminish, for the reason indi-
Gated above, the floating surface. and
consequently to increase the duration
OF the pitching, the floats only occupy
certain length of the hull, SO that the
floating surface is concentrated toward
the center Of the boat. In the plan
studied by NJ. Turc, the height be-
tween the center of gravity of the boat
and the metacenter was reduced 244
meters, and the duration of oscillation
Of the pitch raised twenty-five seconds.
This last arrangement is the principal
characteristic of the vessel. -
In the hull ia installed the machin
cry and boilers, as well as the fuel.
In the upper portions of the boat, sup
ported by the floats, is found a water
tight compartment, which contains the
cabins. these being safe from. both
waves and spray. The hull has a
length of 800 feet and width of e
feet at the mldship frame. The floats,
with length Of $50 feet and o feet
in width, are separated by a space o.
