IDA TARBELL when questioned
as to why John d. Rockefeller's
father lived under an assumed
name replied that she had no idea
why. To our mind the fact that
he sired John d. would be a sut'
fcient reason why he should de-
sire to hide his identity.

In many years we have observed
no such hollow mockery as that
of District Attorney Stidger in
Denver who has started a prose
cution of the franchise thieves in
that city. He arrived at his de
termination after long consulta-
ton, with VIM. Evans, and will
prosecute the cases as far as that
gentleman gives consent. Den
yer is the political Sodom of the

RUSSIA is on the eve of another
revolution. The Gar gives con-
vincing evidence that in giving
the people representative govern
ment he was just joking. But a
taste of the fountain of liberty is
liable to lead to a desire tor full
and satisfying drink. Russia will
yet have genuine popular gov
ernment. but she must buy it in
blood.

STATE POLITICS.

The following from the Colo
RADIO Democrat, published al
Pueblo, is good for text upon
which to make a few remarks re
garding the coming state conven-
ton:
The democratic party OF the
state will need the democratic
vote of Denver at the fall election,
ann what is right should be &C
corded them in the state nominal
ing convention. In the late mu
niclpal contest Senator Patterson
may have been right, Mayor SPeer
may have been right, or both may
to some extent have been wrong;
but the rank and file OF the party
can be relied upon at all times. We
trust no spirit of prejudice will go
from the country to the state
nominating convention against the
democracy of Denver, but that
fairness will be shown them. But
they must line up for the party
and not for the interest OF any
political boss.
Perhaps we will need the vote
Of Denver. but how can we get 1t?
There is but one way in which we
can get the gang vote and that is
to let Speer and Evans nominate
a servile corporation ticket for
the balance of us to support, and
that is not going to be done if the
outside counties can prevent it.
What is right should be accorded
them saws the Democrat, well, we
agree, but what is right3 For ten
years they have said that it was
right for us to support the ticket
they named because we were dem
ocrats. Turn about is said to be
fair play, and if so this year we
will try and nominate decent
democratic ticket that will appeal
to honest men and women of all
parties and then we shall expect
the Denver gang to take their
own advice and support it because
it is a democratic ticket. The
Democrat hopes that no spirit of
prejudice will go from the country
to the nominating convention.
There will be some at best, and it
will be accentuated if the con-
vention is held back while the
Denver bell-wethers hold caucus
in the alley way along side the
hall as they did in 1904, while re-
ceivipg orders from Dave Moffatt
and VIM. Evans. The caucus
came out of session and an
nounced a programme which was
carried out to the letter. The
next one held under similar cir-
cumstances will find its slate
broken to bits the mono mt it is
exposed to view. The temper of
the party over the state seems to
be about right this year. The
ticket will be a good one or it
will be beaten by the country vote.
The corporations will not name
the next democratic ticket if the
outside counties can prevent it,
and all the harmony talk of few
papers will not change the exist
ing sentiment in favor of real
democratic ticket.

The men fought with the women as
madly as they fought with each other

worse because each carload was wedged

AS the panic was at its height. short
ly after the collision occurred, the boy
Backes, standing at the very front of

The accident drew so great a crowd
around the terminal of the bridge that
the bridge policemen were unable 10

THE REJUvENAT1oN OF CAPE MAY

The transformation Of the marshes ad-

hlhcent seaside city is practically accom-
plished. July i viii witness the opening
OF the handosmest seaside hotel IN Amer

OF this historic resort. The Hotel Cape
May, which is now approaching COM
pieton. IS an absolutely hreproof struct-
ure, built in the center Of the ocean
front of the new tract. Architects and
builders have adopted and worked into
their plans every good feature of all the
newest hotels and omitted all the bad
ones. and this house VIII be as near per-
feet in construction, arrangement. and
appointment as money, brains, and skill
can make 1t. High-class cottages are
also being built about it for their own
ers.
In order to improve its facilities and
better provide for the greatly increased
traffic which these improvements will
surely develop. the Pennsylvania rail-
road is now constructing track connec-
Jion from the Atlantic City division OF
the West Jersey and Seashore railroad.

from Market street wharf. Through cars

from Washington. Baltimore and Pitts
burg, thus bringing these cities IN di-
rect and prompt touch with the FAMOUS
and popular resort. This improved train
service will become operative with the
opening of the season. n fast and con-
venient service of trains will also be
maintained between Market street wharf
and Cape May.
These comprehensive improvements
with the ma agnifcent physical advantages
of Cape Nav, will undoubtedly restore
this very attractive seaside resort To
that high degree of popularity in which
for many years 1t was the leader on the
Atlantic coast. 1t is advised that pros

MENTAL REACTION.
The Minds Quickness of Operation
and How Ii lis YeRsured.

and How Ii fs Nensured.
Let dozen or twenty persons take
hold of hands in ring. Each Is to
press the hand Of his right hand neigh
boz us soon as he receives "a pressure
from the left. One person starts the
pressure going and at the same instant
observes the position Of the second
hand Of n watch. The pressure passes
all around the circle, and when t ar
rives at the originator he notes how
many seconds were required for the
given number OF persons in succession
to receive an impression and make up
their minds to act In response. The
total time Is then divided by the num-
Der Of persons. This Is q crude illus
tration of the reaction time which we
measure with great accuracy on single
persons.
As the mental portion Of the reaction
time becomes more complicated the
time becomes longer. For example,
the processes Of mental discrimination
and choice require times OF their own.
The way we get these higher" mental
processes can be illustrated in a sim
pie way. A person placed in n quiet
room Is to tap telegraph key every
time he sees Il red light, which can be
produced at the will OF the expert
menter In the recording room. The in
terval of time between the actual ap-
pearance OF the light and the moment
the key is tapped is accurately meas
ured For awhile nothing but the red
light Is used, this to obtain the simple
reaction time Then red and yellow
lights are turned on in irregular sue
cession. The person has now to dis
criminatc between two colors and to
choose between action and nonaction.
The increase OF time required over the
simple reaction time gives the dis
elimination time for two colors. In an
other set Of experiments three colors are
used. then four coiors. AS the discrim-
nation and choice become more com
plicatcd more time Is required.
The Importance of rapid and accurate
reaction and discrimination Is evident.
Astronomers have difficulty In record
ing the moment AT which n star passes

man must pull the trigger at just the
proper moment The football player,
the fencer and the boxer are trained

ton. II Is very evident that player
