OF rare talent. His small suppers at
the Waldorf are a delight and a JOY
to all who are favored by his friend

have such faculty for bringing con-
genial persons together.
When Heinze decided to spend
great part of his time in the East he
resolved to indulge his love for the
sea by the purchase of a steam yacht.
He bought the Revolution, which was
the first American built turbine yacht.
Equipped, as she was, with twin Curtis
turbines of three thousand horse
power Heinze hoped to own the fast
est seagoing craft on the Atlantic
coast He soon found that the yacht
was a coal eater of the most pro-
nounced type and that her bunkers
could not hold fuel enough to carry
her on the long cruises her owner
wished to take. Accordingly Heinze
ordered the Revolution into dry dock
at the end of last fall and her turbines
are being replaced by triple expansion
reciprocating engines of the highest
possible power. so it is not unlikely
that he may realize his ambition to own
the fastest pleasure craft in these
waters.
The Revolution is IFS feet over all
and her water line length is 40 feet
She has a beam of seventeen feet ard
a depth Of eleven feet. Her owner will
spend a fortune on her interior fittings
Heinze's private yacht signal is very
appropriate and is of his own choosing

Copper Is Said to
Prevent Disease

N~OPPER is a marvellous preven-
tive of disease. II we returned

denies would disappear"
The speaker, a filtration expert, took
a copper cent from his pocket
Examine this cent under the micro
scope, he said, "and you will find 10
sItoeetber free from disease germs.
Examine gold and silver coins, and
YOU will find them one wriggling and
comforting germ mass. Yet copper
coins pass through dirtier hands than
gold and silver ones-you'd think
they'd be alive with micro-organisms'
But no. Copper kills germs. Diphths-
ria and cholera cultures, smeared on
conner cent, die in less than two hours.
srThey have many cholera epidemics
IN China but certain towns arc always

Travellers have tried to buy these yes

villagers will not sell them. They nave

"The workers IN the Revere Copper

Copper in the form Of copper sui

reservoirs and great bodies OF water.
It has frequently done so without
harming the drinking qualities Of the
water in any way. Why is it. therefore,
that the water in our reservoirs is not
microscopically examined for disease

he can make as expressionlesS as those
OF wax figure or into which he can
infuse a merry twinkle, as suits his
mood.
One has but to look at Heinze's nose
and chin TO understand why he Is a
leader of men. The first Is large. and
we'll formed and, taken together with
gives to his face a decidedly Napoleonic
cast. Like most men Of strong charac-
ter, Heinze wears no beard or mustache.
It has been said OF Heinze that had
he devoted his time to the study Of dra-
InaIc art he would have been a great
actor. 1t is not difficult to discover in
him the qualifications which bear out
the opinion of those who believe he
would make success on the stage. His
intimates say that he can assume what
ever character best suits his purpose,
but the natural man is the one that be-
comes him most. He has a natural gen.
ease all who meet him for the first
time; but should the person be one
whom he suspects of having an Interior
motive in seeking an interview he can
freeze him with a look or assume an
attitude of such exaggerated courtesy
that the visitor never fails to retire
discounted.
II there is one thing Heinze dislikes
more than another 1t is bore. He will
endure any amount of personal incon-
venience to avoid one. He has been
known to walk. blocks out of his way
to escape meeting member of the fra
ternity. but when once cornered he ac-
cepts the situation gracefully and there
is nothing in his manner or speech at
which the most sensitive could take
offense.

Dealing With Scheners

Like most other men holding a SIM
liar place in the financial and industrial
world. Heinze is constantly sought by
persons with schemes of every descrip-
tion, most of them visionary to the last
degree. who insist on his becoming in
terested and who use every art known
to the impecunious to get from him
financial support. He has two methods
OF finding out what these individuals
have to offer-one by personal inter-
view and the other by proxy.
One of his trusted lieutenants is a
lawyer, man of keen perception and a
student of character. To him Heinze
sends many of those who seem to have
ideas capable of development. Into this
mans ears are poured many schemes
of wonderful conception. Not long ago
the lawyer received this telephone mes
sage from Heinze:
II am sending you a man who has
got me guessing. His proposition seems
ridiculous on its face, but the fellow is
so convincing I wish you would look
him over and send him back to me IL
you decide he is sane
The visitor soon arrived. He was a
man of good appearance, apparently
prosperous, and whose manner OF
speech was what Heinze had described
it--convincing. He said he had learned
from Heinze that there was a percen-
tage of silver In the copper ore he dug
from his Montana mines.
He tells me-" continued the man,
"that silver is worth about sixty-five
now. l have told him that / have a
plan whereby silver can be made worth
12s. OF course, / cannot divulge my
secret unless 1 have some assurance in
the form of contract with Mr.. Heinzo
that my rights will be protected.
He was told there was nothing in the
world Mr.. Heinze wanted moro than a
recipe for doubling the value of the
silver extracted from his copper ore
Any one who would sell him such a
recipe would receive ample compensa-
tion therefor.
"All right" said this twentieth cen
tury wizard. II will send you a full
explanation of my scheme from Chi
cago, which is my home"
Three days later Heinze's lawyer re-
,ceived letter from Chicago which said
in effect: TN the absence of the con-
tract which suggested during my In
terview with you 1 cannot give Mr..
Heinze the advantage of my knowl-
edge. It's all off"
Heinze delights in the companionship
of clever men and women. He seeks
their company and spares no effort to
make them like him. In this he in
variabiy succeeds, for this young cop
per king is known as an entertainer

The sereeehing Rrotherhood.

Mr.. Roosevelt is often accused-unjust-
ly, we think-of indulging in baseless and
Vindictive denunsiation of the wrongs
and wrongdoers he has elected to combat
in BEHALF Of the public veal But what
has he said at all comparable with the
screeching alarums of some of the enc
mics he has made or with the set and
purposeful malignity Of certain portion
OF the metropolitan press?
We recognize TO the fun the duty and
the necessity OF holding every public
servant TO strict account in the perform
ance of his functions. and the immense
value Of intelligent criticism 10 that end.
but a protest is due against willfm and
malicious peryersicn Of the truth. as Well
as conscious or unconscious deception OF
the people rs to what the President has
done and the real purposes underlying his
action. Criticism, TO be valid. must have
some basis Of fact: it is utterly useless
and altogether unjust If merely the fruit
oi vain imaginings CT the outpouring OF
malice and al uncharitableness.
These reflections are suggested by the
amazing philippe of man who but
three years ago was shouting the praises
Of Theodore Roosevelt from the house
tops. For honest differences Of opinion
we have the utmost respect. but where
the opinion is grounded on a distorted
vision Of things as they are. where mis-
representation is made to take the place
Of argument. where scurrilous epitbet
and epigram are a cheap substitute for
thought. no option remains to sensible
men but 10 condemn and deplore public
utterance so misleading. ili-considered
and inexcusable
II is evident that not all those who

1t Looks Better for Hnehes.

One Of the conspicuous consequences of
the Presidents statement that his de-
cision not to accept a third term is ir-
revocable is a quickening of activity on
the part of Gov. Hughes friends in New
York and elsewhere II is felt that with
the President out Of the way as a possi-
bic candidate. the governor may he
brought forward without giving offense
10 Mr.. Roosevelt. As long as the third
term shouters had any justification for
keeping up their agitation. they felt
bound TO oppose Hughes; but the situa-
ton has abruptly changed. and there are
some symptoms OF a rush to the Hughes
standard. II will be interesting to see
what attitude the President may take
respecting this development An evident
attempt to reconcile him with the Hughes
movement is the suggestion that the New
York delegation be made up Of those
who would favor Taft as second choice.
Gov. Hughes himself displays no out
ward evidence Of completely in the move
ment in his behalf His attitude con-
tnues to be that of complete detachment
from party politics To one of the in
cOrporators Of a political club bearing
his name, the governor wrote that while
he welcomes support for the measures
that he recommends, he does not wish
to promote any effort 10 present him as
a candidate for any office" BY way of
contrast with the feverish manipulation
of sundry Presidential booms. with the
full consent and cooperation of their
beneficiaries Gov. Hughes dlgnifed self
restraint has fascinated political observ-
ers from one end Of the country to the
other. His method Of administration has
occasiOned wide and favorable comment.
His independence of political intrigue and
his refusal to serve the interests of party
bosses meet general approval But the
governors single-minded devotion to the
affairs of his Office has it's drawbacks
from the standpoint of those who want
him to go up higher. It leaves him with
out an organization that can be utilized
in his behalf. and without some sort of
organization little can be accomplished in
modern politics. Volunteer organizations
however. promise to remedy this defect
in the Hughes movement, which will be
a genuine and spontaneous expression OF
public sentiment
We consider the universal commenda-
ton >of Gov. Hughes one Of the most
healthful signs of the times. Although
said TO be well regarded by the Inter
ests, :" he is by no means a reactionary,
He has accomplished the most radical
reform in the control Of public utilities
attempted In any State. His clear vision
could be trusted TO see a way out of the
national corporation Jungle His admin
istrative skill is precisely what is re-
quired II the complicated affairs of the
Federal government. That there should
be a demand for public service of the
type Of that rendered by Gov. Hughes
shows that the country is awakening to
the necessity of intrusting the reins Of
government to statesmen Of proved ca
pacity.
