Always Stlunch
And True

The Denver Republican has al
WAYS avoided the fallacies and
knaveries of yellow journalism,
and its steadily increasing Circula-
ton proves conclusively that its
policy OF telling the plain Truth
without exaggeration or misrepre-
sentation, standing fast for the
Right, is heartily approved with
growing force by the intelligent
Public to which it appeals.
To read it is a liberal Education,
and the citizen who goes without
it does a positive harm to himself,
to his family, and to the commu-
nifty.
In no other way can the invest
ment of 2K cents per day
for that is all The Republican
costs any subscriber-bring such
rich results in that knowledge
which is both Power and Pleasure.
Information, instruction and en-
tertainment fill its columns and it
leaves a good taste in the mouth
of the reader.
1t stands for Law and Order in
the State-for Peace, Prosperity
and Happiness in the Home.

The city council will be asked to establish a cleanup day In the early spring and the general public will be asked to cooperate.

TOURISTS WILL PASS
 THROUGH FLORENCE

Florence. March 9.-(Special. )-Frank X. Zirbies and s. l. de Kraft on a scouting tour to choose the route for the great Glidden automobile tour for 1910, are in Florence today and MT. Zirbies made the statement that the tour will positive ly be routed through Florence and her sister cities of Sheffield and Tuscumbia. This route Is the only available one, owing to the fact that the Southern bridge here is the only bridge across the Tennessee river west of Chatta- nooga.

Bessemer, March 9.-(Special) l)--W. P. Gum, secretary of the board of trade, has received the following letter from Charles W. Henderson, president of the Alabama railroad commission in regard to the invitation recently rendered the commission to investigate the conditions existing at Bessemer and to judge wheth- CT it would be practicable for the rail- roads in Bessemer to erect a union depot: Agreeable to your invitation the com mission will visit Bessemer on Tuesday morning, March 5, for the purpose of looking over the situation. We have mo- tifed the different railroads interested in the proposed visit, in order that their representatives may be present.
 "CHARLES w. HENDERSON,

Baseball in Bessemer.

Baseball sap is rapidly rising in Besse- mer and fans are already seeing in their imagination the flag of the City league floating over the grandstand, which will be located in Jonesboro, near the old skat- ing rink. The site is an ideal one and as there is already a fairly good diamond very little work will be necessary to make the field frst-class. A grandstand will be built and the park enclosed by high fence This means an expendi- ture of about s1000, which the financial committee feels confident of raising with out difficulty The stand will have a seating capacity of about 800 and will be built in manner that will render it rainproof The diamond Is on a good road that leads from Bessemer, road that even MT. Thatcher could not say was awful" and is hardly half a block from the car line. It is very probable that special cars will be run on the Jones' boro line on the afternoons that the games are played The club expects the hearty support of the Bessemer people and in return promises to give the very best that is in them to win. Judging by the support rendered last year the team will be backed by practically the whole town.
 The Bessemer team will be strong one this year and will be capable of rivaling the exploits or the Warr1ors or last sed- son. Unless a better catcher can be se- cured Ellis Houston will do the receiv- ing, while Lefkovits will play first base. McEniry will play second with Billy Johnson either at short or third base. Baum rdner, who was last year with Grasselli, will be with Bessemer this year and will probably play short. In the outf1eld will be Craig, Randle. possibly Alexander and others Abut the pitch CTS nothing is known except that Fan cher, who did most of the work last year will not play with the local team. It is said that an Alabama pitcher will be secured and that an unknown 'phe- nom" has also been secured. At all events the team will be strong one and will rank high in the City league. As soon as details are perfected the practice will begin and baseball will be in full swing.

THE SPEAKERS MACE.

Ancient Emblem Used In the House
Of Representatives.
With all ITS dignity. its senatorial
courtesy and the forms and ceremo-
nies that always are observed. the SEN
ate Is far behind the house of repre-
sentativeS In the matter of one anti.
quated piece of furniture. The senate
has no mace. Now. a mace is not
much In the way of furniture. 1t is a
silver eagle mounted upon a staH
around which are bands of silver.
This mace ls always an emblem Of
the house Of representatives. 1t is the
duty Of one employee to look after it
Just before session OF the house be-
gins he takes it from the office Of the
sergeant-at-arms into the house cham
Der. and as soon as the speakers gavel
falls he inserts it in socket in a
stone pillar at the right OF the speak
er's chair. The mace remains there
while the house is I'm session and is
taken out and stood beside its pedes-
tai when the house is in committee of
the whole. When the house adjournS
the mace is carried back to the office
of the sergeant-at-arms.
This ancient emblem has not thing
to do with the order Of business of the
house, save as one of the old time reg
ulations that are continued. When the
house is turbulent an officer seizes the
mace and walks through the aisles.
Only once or twice when the speaker
failed to preserve order have / seen an
officer seize the mace and walk
through the house, waving it back
ward and forward. Possibly the sight
Of it brought members to their senses
and they retired to their seats. At all
events. that is about the only real use
for the mace that I ever have observ-

FRICTION.
What Causes It and What Would Hap
pen Without 1t.

What Causes II and What Would Hap
pen Without 1t.
What Is friction really caused by?
Why will two things In contact not
slip over each other easily? 1t is be-
cause every substance known to science
has teeth: microscopic. 1t is true. but
still teeth The result, then. is OBJ
viOus. II we shove book across a
table the teeth Of the book interlock
with the teeth of the table just as cog
wheels do. and the push has to be
strong enough either to bend them
enough or to break them or for the
motion to continue.
1t has actually been observed in a
microscope that If the push is only a
slight one and moves the book only a
short distance. on the pressure Of the
hand being removed the book actually
jumps back to its former position.
This action Is a slight bending of the
two sets Of teeth. only not far enough
for them TO lose their relative posi-
tions, and their elasticity on being re-
iNHcid AlsANtS illt DJOh ~ bsiN n
1t has been shown that this friction
is not so much between different bod
les as between bodies of the same ma
terial. One industrial application Of
this is the bearings for steel axles.
They are made Of brass instead of
steel.
In some things we want as much
friction as possible and in others as
little. The former is illustrated in the
friction between an engine wheel and
the track. sand sometimes being pour.
ed on the track to increase the friction
The latter case is illustrated in all
bearings where rotating metal is in
contact with stationary metal. some
times ball bearings being substituted.
thus lessening the friction.
Many peculiar things would happen
II there was no friction. All screws in |
wood would Immediately twist back
