LOCATED,

Frank Eddy, the Sank Centre editor,
would laugh off the earth any criticism
OF st. Clouds ambition to grab every
public office in sight. Sank Centre is
in Stearns county, whose politics are
unquestionably dictated by St. Cloud,
and Editor Eddy understands Just
where he is at.-Little Falls Transcript.
OF course the editor of the Herald
knows where he is at. That is his
specially, and the people of the sixth
district know where they are at. They
have arrived at the locality where they
are going to judge candidates by their
merits and not by their place of resi-
dence. st. Cloud dominates Stearns
county politics the same way Little
Falls dominates Morrison county, no
more no less Neither of them are big
enough to dominate the district and
the district will decide on measures
and merit and not on locality.

Great DEPTHS of Ocean,

A French writer in scientific maya.
zine tells of the great ocean depths
of $4,000 to 10000 feet, the tenn
perature tending toward zero, the per-
petual darkness ranging below depths
of about 1880 feet. At that level

Washington, January 31.-Gossip con-
corning the makeup of the republican
national ticket in 1908 continues, and it is
aided by the announcement of President
Roosevelt, made several months ago, that
he would not again be a candidate. The
President by his announcement conveyed
the idea to the public mind that he not
only would not be a candidate, but would
not attempt in any way to dictate to the
party as to who should be his successor.
This has left the field open to all en-
tries and the race will prove one OF the
most interesting in the history of the
republican party. While the claims of
of a number of prominent republicans are
discussed and at least ten men have been
mentioned as already active candidates

of representative leaders, has practically
resolved itself into race between Sec

GREAT AUTOMOBILE
MEETING CLOSES
Mile Was Made Yesterday in
81 AS Seconds
SPEEDWAY IS UNtQUALLED
Many of the Automobiles Will Leave
Today for Cuba to Compete In
the Road Races There
Next Week.

Ormond, Fla, January 31.-The greatest
automobile meeting ever held in this
country or any other country, so far
as smashing records is concerned, closed
here this afternoon.
The performance was the running of
a mile in 80 As seconds by II. L. Bow
den in his twin 90 horse power car. After
the days events had been finished, he
asked permission of the officials to try
for the kilometer and mile records and
the course was cleared for him. He took
good flying start, and as he tripped
the wire of the automatic timing ma
chine, the crowd expected new world
record, for the car was going faster than
the speed of a hurricane. Unfortunately
the kilometer time was not caught on the
automatic but several watches gave it as
2O34 seconds, the worlds record being
p %.
The previous mile record was clipped
considerably until the opening of this
meeting it was 80 fiat made last year by
W. X. Vanderbilt. Last week Arthur e.
Macdonald trimmed it down to "a 2-5, and
soon after Mr. Bowden took off another
fifth. Since then he expressed the opinion
that he could go 80 second or under.
Today he did it. Young Mcdonald was
also to have tried for worlds klome-
ter and betting mile record, but certain
parts of his engine became strained. He
made the attempt, however making the
kilometer in % 2-5. The automatic failed
on the mile which was not taken.
The ten mile record was again smashed
to pieces this morning. 1t was in the
final Ormond derby for the Major Miller
trophy. Young Mcdonald who won the
trophy covered the ten miles In 6:15
The record before this meet was $3.50
made by w. X. Vanderbilt here last
this down to 6:31 As. He was second
in the ten mile Ormond derby this morn
ing, finishing in 6:1S 10, beating his own
fine record of a few days ago
1t seems the order of things now for
worlds records to be established each
year on the Ormond Beach. These rec
ords are tried for at other meets at home
and abroad, but it remains for new ma
chimes to come here and lower the rec
ords. All are agreed that there is no
such a speedway on earth as the stretch
along this coast from here to Mosquito
Inlet.
Today closed the official race pro-
gramme of this meet and the many prizes
were awarded to the winners at the club
house late this evening.

From the New York World.

From the New York World.
The following account of an interview
with President Diaz of Mexico was writ
ten by Father C. Cowley Clarke. dis
tinguished English priest well known in
Brighton and London, who recently Wis
tied New York and who is spending the
winter in the City of Mexico. The World
asked Father Clarke to send his impress
sons of the great Mexican President, and
in response to the request he writes as
follows:
As the whole world knows President
Porfirio Diaz is the one great figure of
the republic of Mexico His record as
the elected chief of a great state is I'M
exampled in the worlds history. He is
new entering upon his seventh term of
office as President, having already filled
that high position to the great satisfac-
ton and advantage of his country for
six full terms of four years each. He
is now in his seventy-ninth year, and
has not merely been unanimously re-
elected, but in May last year Congress
decided to increase the. length of time
during which the highest office of the
state should be held from your years to
six.
1t is not too much to say that Mexico
and the world in general look upon
President Diaz as the chief founder of
the modern republic and the source Of
its present prosperity and growing great
ness.
This very remarkable man bears upon
him externally but few signs of his ad-
vanced age. OF gracious and distinguished
presence, he looks a soldier, every inch
of him. straight as dart, and apparently
unaffected by the life of constant labor
and anxiety which he leads.
Not a day passes without his being in
terviewed by one of his trusted minis
tiers, and no detail of the working of the
huge machinery of state is too trifling
for them to consult him upon, or for him
to take keen personal interest in. AS

OF MEXICO
IS A REMARKABLE MAN

Of that power of keen, direct thought
and knowledge which are as removed
from silly vanity as they are from false
humility
Mexico" said General Diaz, us not as
yet great, but it is on the road to great
ness, and the right road What is really
great about the republic today is-that
in so short a space of time it should
have mace such a notable advance to-
ward the prosperity and well being which
is the aim of the commonwealth, the goal
and reward of its citizens. AS to myself,
l am aware that much undeserved praise
for results achieved is givens to me, but
the truth is simply this-that 1 have had
the good fortune to have been able to
bring together for the common veal and
benefit all that is best In our country
the finest of intelligence, the most sincere
of good Wills To be able to unite and
weld together these best of gifts has been
my singular good fortune"
General Diaz did not add or imply that
1t is given only to an intelligence of the
very foremost rank and of the highest
order among those who rule mankind to
achieve this noble end.
President Diaz has been twice married.
He has a family by his first wife, but
the present Lady President has no chill
dren. She is young, beautiful, univer-
sally beloved and respected. and her dis
tinguished husband would be the first to
proclaim how much OF his social success
he owes to the goodness and charm of
his brilliant young wife. Her maiden
name was Carmen Romero Rubio, and
as Nine. Porfirio Diaz she is thought
"all the world Of In Mexico.
Since President Diaz took office the
population of Mexico increased from
$3.50. 439 to 13GO5,919. and the number of
pupils in the public schools from 1859
to 61,155. Foreign commerce is s2s4OO0,-
900 year more than it was thirty years
ago. and banking capital has increased
by s107, $50. 900; real estate values by 1885,
100000. The government has spent sl43.-
100000 on public works; there is a sur
plus of s10,0O0.000 a year in receipts over
expenditures and everything else is pros
porous on the same general scale.
