Of his style will obscure the soundness

acuteness and shrewdness OF his OBJ

the very unusual grasp he has OF the
whole product of modern discussion OF
| politics, science, and affairs. This Pc
culiar bruliancy Is more manifest IN
the present volume than in Its prede-

with his subject In a broader ana
also in a more subtle manner. He
states and treats the problem Of the
South as but q part OF the greater
problem Of the adjustment of complex
conditions to the spirit of true Democ-
racy, with particular reference to the
relations of stronger to weaker groups

AMAZING STEEL PROCESS.

Discovery. 1t In Said, VIII Revolution
ice Worlds Industry.
London Dispatch to New York Herald.
Mr.. Martin 8. holman. who controls
the newly discovered process OF con-
verting finished iron into steel and who
is in London again. gave The Herald
correspondent some Interesting details
OF the new process and Its possibn-
tiles.
"In q couple Of weeks time" he
said. "I am going to arrange for a dem
nustration to be attended by represen-
tatives from the worlds largest steel
manufacturers and numerous govern
ment experts from several countries to
whom the possibilities Of our process
will be explained. AS an instance Of
what We may do we may take heavy
chain and give one end of 1t thin
coating of steel. thin as an eggshell.
To the other end we will give coat
of half an inch or an inch In thick
ness. while the center will be convert
ed into solid steel. We will work 1t
any way you like.
1--WE can work up a fine razor blade
out of iron, shaping and grinding 1t
TO the required FORM and after this Is
all done we put the blade through our
steeling process and convert IL into tine
hardest kind. Steel blades produced in
this way are equai In every respect TO
the finest Sheff1eld makes.
II firmly believe our process will
revolutionize the whole steel business.
Big furnace methods will be entirely
superseded. have tested the method
in every possible way. and noted Euro
pean experts have done the same thing,
and always with the most gratifying
results.
"Tha method is quite simple. Iron
| Is simply treated with a chemical COM
position. being subjected to heat at the
same ttme. The chemical fumes have
peculiar property, converting iron in
TO steel and tempering 1t to wonderful
hardness.
''The best steel is tempered to sixty
three points. We can quite easily tenn
per our steel to 243 points This Is al
most unbelievable. / admit. yet it Is
quite true"

Harmon Choice For President In 1912.
Columbus Special to New York world.
Congressman w. A. Ashbrook, of the
Seventeenth Ohio District, returned
from Washington today bringing the
information that Gov. Judson Harmon
is practically the unanimous choice Of
the Democratic members of Congress
for the termination for the Presi-
Just before leaving Washington. >.
said Mr.. Ashbrook. II had q confer
ence with A. P. Ross, editor of a
Democratic newspaper. and he Inform
Ie1 Democrats In that body on their
Presidential preferences and every man
polled stated that his first choice was
Harmon. OF Ohio.
1T may be that in the small number
that have not been yet polled by Mr..
Ross there are some who will have
other choices, but even II they should
all be for other Democrats. a very I'm
probable thing, Gov. Harmon would
still be the overwhelming first choice
Congressman Ashbrook said he was
surprised to find how strong Gov. Har-
mon was among the Congressman from
the South and East.
From what have observed at
viii be generally acceptable in ali
parts of the country. I do not think
Bryan has any desire for the nomina-
tion in 1912, and l am quite sure that
so far as he is concerned Gov. Harmon
will be very acceptable as the Presi-
Dental candidate"
Gov. Harmon left with his family
yesterday for their summer home at
Charlevoix, Mich.
