low that the people of the Unit
nj ed States are in the throes of
n renewed discussion of zen
tralization of power rs opposed
TO local state authority II Is fitting to
recall the man who in the formative
period of our nation advocated more
urgently and persistently than any 9th
er strongly centralized federal gov
eminent with correSpondingly lesser
authority for the individua states.
This man was Alexander Hamilton
He stood for theories of government
which, In the opinions of many per
sons of his day und this, tended to
ward monarehieal rather than repub-
lican institutions.
Hamilton In the constitutional con
vention of lfSI proposed an independ.
ent executive To hold office for life or
during good behavior, II senate whose
members Were TO have like tenure
of office, governors of states to be ap
pointed by the federal executive, thus
making the states essentially subor.
dinate to the central government in
sense much more emphatic than our
present constitution requires.
Yet Hamilton vigorously supported
the constitution as adopted by the CON
vention. In Washington's cabinet he
became the first secretary of the treas.
ury, and his services in that highly
important post We're of supreme value
to the nation. His efficient and patr.
otic work in shaping the financial poll.
Giles of the new nation gives him Sc
cure place high among the founders of
the republic Though for the most
part his intensely federal ideas have
not been adopted INTO our national
fabric, though he distrlisted the com
mon people and believed in govern
ment by tee aristocracy rather than by
the democracy. many Of his theories
were shared and accepted by his con
frcres, Hamilton, il may be said, scrv-
ed rs Il balance wheel in the building
OF the American machine, preventing
construction tending too far toward
pure democracy in time when Il re
public WAS still an experiment.
Hamilton's conception of patriotic
duty prompted him 10 accept the chal-
lengc of Aaron Burr to the fatal duel
at Weehawken Hamilton abhorred the
duel code of honor, but felt that re-
fusal to meet Burr would impair his
future usefulness to his country

Poetry Defined.

'Woodman. Spare That Tree was a
general of the New York militia and u
favorite with all who knew him. Mrs.
Sherwood in her "reminiscences tells
how another poet associated the gener-
nj with definition of poetry.
Once Fitz-Greene Halleck, the author
Of "Marco Bozzaris," called upon her in
New York in his old age. and she asked
him to define for her what was poetry
and what was prose.
He replied: when General Morris
commands his brigade and says. Sol
diers. draw your swords. he talks
prose When he says Soldiers, draw
your willing swords he talks poetry

"IiE HIST American negro VINO
achieved wide fame was
Frederick Douglass. Born n
Slave ut a place In Maryland
bearing the odd name of Tuckahoe, the
mime first conferred upon him was
Frederick Augustus Washington Bal
ley, truly an abundance for pcka-
ninny with apparently no prospects in
life other than those of bondman
serving n master. But Frederick Au
glstus Washington was different from
the ordinary pickaninny. Nature had
conferred upon him large head con
tanning gray matter which could not
be kept behind In life's race by the
handicap of dark skin. When Fred
eriek was II small boy he was sent to
Baltimore to work In shpyard.
There he managed to get Il little
schooling
Not always Is little learning n dan
gerous thing. though In Frederick's
case 1t did prove dangerous to his own
er from a commercial point of view
Healthy, hefty slaves In those days
were worth matter of Il thousand dol
lars apiece. The little book learning
acquired by the slave boy put into his
head the determination to become free
He escaped in the disguise of n sailor
and made his way to Massachusetts,
where he read and studied to such adj
vantage that when he reached the age
of twenty-four he was able to deliver
a lecture at an antislavery convention
In Nantucket which brought him an in
vitation to 20 to England and deliver
lectures on the slavery problem In
America. He had changed his name
to Douglass when he ran away.
In England Douglass raised 81 go
with which he formally purchased his
freedom from his southern owner
Then he settled In Rochester, n. Y,
and became widely known as n jour
nalist and orator. His paper, the North
Star. later changed In title to Frederick

years the cause OF the slave. Doug

To check a cold quickly, get from
your druggist some little Candy Cold Tablets
called Preventics. Druggists everywhere are
now dispensing Preyentics, for they are not
only safe, but decidedly certain and prompt.
Preyentics contain no Quinine, no laxative,
nothing harsh nor siekening Taken at the
"sneeze stage" Preventics will prevent Pneu-
monia, Bronchitis In Grippe etc. Hence the
name, Preyentics, good for feyerish children.

HOW HOT Is THE SUN!
Temperature Said to Be Nearly 10000
Degrees Fahrenheit.

Paris.-A discussion as to how hot
the sun is has been carried on between
French scientists. Prof. Millochau.
tho physicist. says:
We have seen that by applying
StofAn's law to the numbers given by
various observers for the solar con.
slant. We find that the suns tempera-
ture Is between 5000 degrees and
1000 degrees. Wilson and Gray In
1909 made Q direct measure OF this
temperature (by means OF tho ther.
rnoelectric pile) and obtained 5.573
degrees. and measurements made with
the pyrheliometric telescope lead to
the figures 1868 degrees. There Is
yet a third method OF evaluating the
solar temperature: 1t consists in an
application OF tho physical law OF
radiation known ~ the Law OF dis
placement The product of the wave
length corresponding the maximum
OF intensity in the spectrum emitted
by tho body. multiplied by It's tom
perature. Is constant quantity which
has been found by experiment to be
$500. Now the maximum OF energy
In tho solar spectrum is found near
the wave length. s. which would make
the temperature $500 degrees.
The agreement OF the results
reached by these various methods is
certainly not due simply to chance.
and We may assert that tho effective
temperature Of the sun is nearly $500
degrees G. (s.700 degrees F.)."

Tacoma, Misunderstanding" Smith
Is the first man In the court records Of
this city compelled to wear a gag In
his mouth when he appears on the
street. The police here know Of no

Smith has given the police OF Ia

ago he made his home here for ten
years. Then the police made life such
"A burden for him that he left. Re
Gently he came back and the police
have been after him every few days.
The man claims to have an afniction
that physicians who have examined

The man Is wealthy. and whenever
brought up in court. secures counsel

Judge Arnston ordered that when
ever he appeared on the street or In
public places he should wear a gag
in his mouth, preventing him from
talking.
Shortly after being discharged by
the court Smith had large handker-

AN INTERESTING
CHEMICAL EXPERIMENT

Anything In the nature Of q chem.
ical experiment is always interesting

pie experiment which any child can
perform and which Is instructive In
very practical way: Get a bit Of White
Lead about the size Of pea, q piece
Of charcoal. a common candle In .
candlestick, and q blow-pipe. Scoop
cGt a little hollow in the charcoal to
hold the White Lead. then light the
candle, take the charcoal and lead in

other. with the large end OF the blow.
pipe between the lips: blow the flame
Of the candle steadily against the bit
Of White Lead on the charcoal and u
the White Lead is pure 1t will pres
emily resolve itself into little shining
Globules OF metallic lead, under the
intense heat Of the blow-pipe. leaving
no residue.
II, however, the White Lead is adul-
terated In the slightest degree. 1t will
not wholly change into lead. So. 1t
will be seen. that this experiment Is
not only an entertaining chemical
demonstration, but also OF practical
use in the home. White Lead is the
most important ingredient of paint.
II should be bought pure and unadul-
terated and mixed with pure linseed
oil. That is the best paint. The
above easy experiment enables any.
one to know whether the paint is the
kind which will wear or not.

antee that white lead taken from a
package bearing their Dutch Boy

lutely pure under the blow-pipe test;
and to encourage people to make the
test and prove the purity Of paint be.

TENNIS CRACKS
COMING WEST
w. A. Larned and BeaIS C..
Wright to Appear on Coast
in September.

San Francisco Feb. Nv. 4. Larned,
the present national tennis champion:
Beals c. Wright. Holcombe Ward and at
least one other topnotch easterner. will
journey to this coast next September and
WELD their Tackets in the annual coast
championships, according to Sumner
Hardy, of the Pacific States Lawn Ten
mis- association. who has been in COM
munication with George Wright of Bos-
ton. Hardy says that unless present
plans miScarry a quartet OF tennis eX-
perts from the Atlantic coast will surely

fall 1t is their intention to enter the
championship events in both singles and
doubles. and also 10 participate in sew
eFal exhibition games. Hardy leaves
for the east at once to spend several
months in Boston. taking a pOst-grad-
uate course i'm dentistry, and while in
New York will make all arrangements for
the trip west.
For several years past about the time
practice commenced for the big Journeys
an effort has been made to get several
OF the casts best tennis men to compete
here. but all attempts were futile. and
since the visit of the national champions
TO Del Monte eight years ago, Beals
Wright has been the only eastern player
10 appear on the local courts. Wright was
in San Francisco on a business trip four
year ago, but. being out of practice.
could not be persuaded to take part in
any Of the competitions.
