Lincoln Stefens, writing of Hearst,
the Man Of Mystery" in The American
Magazine for November, gives this
graphic, illuminating picture of Hearst's
self-reliance:
When I called on him at his hotel
IN chicago to make an appointment for
an interview, he didn't make 1t easy for
me; he seemed utterly Indifferent to my
purpose. He gave me all the time I
wanted: two late evenings; a day on
the train to New York and the middle
Of two more days. And he answered ali
my questions.
That was all, however He volun-
teered nothing, absolutely nothing; nei-
their fact, nor an application nor
an idea. While 1 stopped, he stopped.
And If, perchance, I put a question in
some other form. he wouldn't answer
it even if 1t was a charge.
Here's another count they make
against you, Mr.. Hearst I'd say, and 1
would state the allegation.
Listening, he would nod his head
affirmatively. as if to say he had heard
it before, but when the statement was
concluded he did not refute it. Coiled
up on the sofa, he picked at the cushion
and was silent.
- What about it, Mr.. Hearst?' .
Nothing. That doesn't bother me- "
No, but it bothers me. I have to
discuss it,
oh, you want me to give you my
version of the affair." :"
Thus spurred. he would tell the story
from his point Of view but not as If he
was correcting an error or contradicting
a lie. His was a dull. matter-of-fact
account of what he saw or heard of the
matter. He didn't seem to care whether
believed his story or understood him;
or whether 1 got the facts right or
wrong. That was my business, all of 1t.
There was no humor; no storytelling;
no entertainment; no relief of any SORT
to that interview. Wearing as it was.
however, it was interes ting to reflect
upon, for everything the man said went
to bear out the impression that this in
difference was nothing but self-reliance.
Mr. Hearst doesn't count on anything
that may be said about him, one way or
the other, by those who are not his
friends: he counts on himself and his
own. Have your own baseball nine; run
your own publications; organize your
own political party That's the way
to get done the thing that you want to
have done. Do it yourself"

Heat and Motion In 1912.

Professor Tyndall was envled for
the happy title of his book, "Heat a
Mode of Motion" It told the whole
story. Sir W. r. Covers, +. K. 5,
points out in Nature that as far
back as 1912 a Dutch professor,
Van der Linden, an eminent physi-
clan Of his day, published IN his
sMedulla Medicinae" the dictum
aCalor est minutissimarum mate
riae partium motus in Sc reyerbera-
tus'-that is to say, the worthy doc
tor anticipated modern theory ~
two centuries in thinking that the

independent Manhood?''

EDITOR 1SLANDER:-Is THIS what has
asserted itself within the last few weeks
in our quiet little county among orr peace
full Jana usually peaceable) islands?
Some of us have been accustomed to
think of MANHOOD rs the embodiment of
the ideals of purity, strength. justice,
kindness,-in short, all hat is noblest and
best in humanity. Can we wish the chill
dren of our community to hold, instead of
this, the meaning impressed upon them
by the object lesson of the past few days
which has been of SO low q nature as to
disgust and repel tie best of those even
who were in sympathy with the move
ment from which it developed?
To those of us who have known our
people long time, hence looked for bet
ter things, this has been a cause of real
grief, and those who are recent corners
have looked on in amazement and col :
sternation. If this be really the best that
our "Independent Manhood" cali say for
itself we have no reason to be proud of it.
Better were the good old days when in
our county the leadership in politics was
left Largely to gentleman who, though
he may have made some mistakes, GER
tainly considered the interest of the pub
lie in securing for Office men who gave us,
in the main, clean, honest administers
ton, as our new county officers-elect will
hardly deny. inasmuch as some of them
are the very ones by whom we have sur
fered Gf suffering there has been) during
the period of the terrible bossism' OF
which we have heard so much. Some
must laugh in their sleeves at this outcry
| when they recall the occasions on which
they have. upon Bonded knee, as it were,
besought this same gentleman to use all
that he has of character, intelligence, and
ability to lead, in securing for THEM
county offices upon which, as they repre-
sen.ed, their own personal welfare and
even their very livelihood and ability to
maintain their families, depended. 1t
would seem strange indeed if any of these
should in any way even SEEM to encour-
age the Independent Manhood of San
