1 that which means every man must be
entitled to look freely upon the flowing
bowl.
OF Moan, Miss Cousins spoke freely
and feelingly. Without fear OF con
tradiction. she asserted that he who
/ built the ark pleased himself in the
heat OF the day with q strong drink,
and that. when the press Of work was
unusually heavy. he RECALLED himself
with beverage Is harmful as wood
alcohol. Thus. from the Bible she
showed that prohibition is a great,
good, ana noble thing in so far as the
people are allowed TO romp up ana down
its helpless and complaining face.
The venerable Senator's looked sur
prised- II was as If they heard from
afar the voice OF Omar Khayyam, that
noble, Incorporate Persian, who, for the
sake Of the bowl, sold his reputation for
d song and into the fire his garment Of
repentance flung as soon as he could
escape from the Influences that had
made him sign the pledge. It was as If
/ they listened. with straIniug ears, to
the ghosts OF ali the famous orators
who denounced prohibition.
But Miss Cousins did not stop at
Biblical quotations. She hurled into
the minds of the Senators new and
Towering lessons about the eternal
right OF man 70 do what he pleases
and TO drink as frequently as he pleases
exactly what ne pleases.
Those Millions Touch Her.
Then, reckoning not that her words
struck her audience with the force and
cruel emphasis Of forty tons OF falling
brick. she became. in the twinkling Of
an eye, a political economist. She
pointed out that the Government de-
rives s9S7, 050, 600 revenue annually from
the liquor interests.
She was, apparently, proud Of her
change of opinion on the question Of
prohibition. Like every woman. she as
sumec she had a right TO change her
mind.
Therefore. after all these years. it
has become known that Hamlet has
made good On his JOB Of snalyzing the
character Of women. Also Noah, who
built a ship without the aid Of subsidy
legislation. is held before the public as
a man who turned from the juice of the

Turbines.

Circulars inviting estimates on the
new 10000 ion battleship Utah have
been sent out by the navy depart
ment and the bids are to be opened
during the latter part Of next month
Every yard on the Atlantic coast Is
badly in need OF work Just at TINS
time and the competition for the
contract promises to be very keen.
All of the bidders are invited to
submit two sets OF estimates, one for
reciprocating engines and another Tor
turbines. However. naval ofhcers
who are informed believe that the
department has no intention Of equip
ping the new ship with the recipro'
eating engine. The recent eompeti,
tive trials between the scout cruisers
Chester. Salem and Birmingham prov
ed the superiority OF the turbine type
of engine over the old type.
/ When the local yard bid on the
Delaware last year, It submitted an
estimate for the Parsons turbine en-
CINE. For sometime the navy de-
partment considered equipping the
shin with the Parsons engine, but al
ter an examination It was found that
the Parsons engine took up mora
space than allowed in the designs
for the engine room. H. $500.
In order that this defect might Dc
overcome in the Utah, President
Roosevelt and the naval board decld-
ed to lengthen the vessel so that the
Parsons turbine might be Installed.
The Delaware will be equipped with
the reciprocating engine and the
North Dakota with the Curtiss turbine
and naval men believe that the Utaa
will be equipped with the Parsons
engine so that the three types can
be tested and the superiority OF the
one demonstrated.
The local yard already has receiv-
ed plans for the Utah and an. estl-
mate on her construction is being
made at this time. Among other
Yards that are expected to bid on
the ship are the Fore River Company.
OF Quincy, Mass. the New York snip
building Company. Camden, and the
Cramp yard. Philadelphia. Many OF
the moulds for the Delaware can De
used in the construction Of the Utan
and this fact would seem to give the
local yard and the Fore River yaro
an advantage over the other two
bidders.
