Columbus and III. Gulf Stream.

1t is curious to note in the history
Of the gulf stream how great its infiu-
ence has been on the fortunes of the
new world, Before the discovery of
America strange woods and fruits
were frequently found on the shores
of Europe and off-lying islands. Some
Of these were seen and examined by
Columbus. and to his thoughtful mind
they we're confirming evidence Of the
fact that strange lands we're not far
to the westward. These woods we're
carried by the gulf stream and by the
prevailing winds from the American
continent SO that In part the gulf
stream is responsible for the discov-
cry of the new world.

One OF the most useful trees in the
world is a species OF palm which
grows in Brazil. II might safely be
called a vegetable emporium. for it
yields everything from medicine to
cattle food. From the roots is OBJ
tained a very valuable medicine which
is used for purifying the blood in
Springtime. Its timber takes a very
high polish. and is much sought after
by cabinet makers for fine work. The
sap becomes wine or vinegar. accord.

sALrIMoRE's SHOWER BATHS.
They Are Set Up In Summer In Tents
on Vacant Lots.

OH dSauh GON9s
The city of Baltimore has a system
of portable shower baths in which the
residents OF the congested sections
may enjoy both hot and cold water
baths during the summer months.
Although called portable the baths
are not moved from place to place
every few hours but are housed un-
der canvas or constructed OF galvan-
lied iron sheeting.
They are erected, says Popular Ne
chanics. on vacant lots In congested
districts and remain at one place all

they can then be taken down and
packed away until required the next

Ornithological puzzles are the PEN
gums with their curiously shaped
winds suggest that the penguins are
descendants Of birds which used their
wings rather than legs in the pursuit
OF prey under water, and as the strug-
gle intensified between the competing
individuals the most expert at this
sort OF swimming would get the most
food and oust their less successful
rivals. The winners gained advan-
tage over their neighbors in propor-
ton as their wings improved as
swimming organs. and inversely and
OF necessity became less suited to per-
form the work OF flight
In all other birds the feathers
though shed annually are more or
less gradually displaced; but In the
penguins the new feathers all start
into being at the same time and
thrust out the old feathers upon their
tips 80 that these come away in great
fakes. Whereas in all birds save
penguins the new feathers as they

vesting sheaths, In the penguins these
sheaths are open At the tips and at

the old feathers. and hence these are
held to their successors until they
have attained a sufficient length to
insure protection against cold.
The curious device for retaining
the warmth Afforded BY the old feath-
ers until the new generation can fll
their places Is apparently due to the
fact that penguiRs are natives OF tho

The Industrial value Of dogwood is
probably but little appreciated except
by manufacturers and users Of bob
bins, shuttles and spindles employed
IN cotton and woolen-mills. These
are made OF dogwood or persimmon
wood. and hitherto the supply has
come from the Southern States. The
Forest Service now calls attention to
the fact that the supply in that part
Of the country is nearly exhausted
Fortunately dogwood abounds in Ore
gon, Washington and California. and
large plants for the manufacture Of
spindles have recently been erected in
the Cascades in Oregon. In the East
an attempt has been made to substi-
tute the wood Of the mesQuit and the
tupelo for dogwood. The mesquit ia
very hard, heavy and close-graineds
the tupelo is heavy. but less hard. It
has the valuable property Of wearing
smooth by friction.

PRESIDENT TAFT TO keep SILENT
Says lie Will Make No Political Speeches In Ohio
/ HARDING'S SLOGAN IS "STAND BY TAFT"
Voters Have Administration at Home to Stand By

II was In Cleveland, while on his
way TO the conservation congress at
81. Paul, that President Taft an
nounced that he would make no po-
htical speeches in Ohio during the
campaign.
It was In Cleveland that Wade FL
lis. while serving az President Taft's
receiver Of the Republican party In
Ohio, announced in a speech to the
Tippecanoe club last spring that
President Taft will be running for
every Office on the Republican ticket
In Ohio this year, from governor
down to township trustee" and that
"the presidents Lincoln banquet
tpeech in New York will be the plat
form"
AS platform" the presidents
New York speech Is long forgotten.
And, although the Dick-Taft- Harding
platform adopted by the Columbus
convention begins with this extrava-
CANT praise: "We. the Republicans Of
Ohio In state convention assembled,
commend in highest terms the splen-
did administrator? Jf William H.
Taft, are proud Of the results he has
already achieved in his u months of
office, and pledge him our heartiest
and united support in his further ef-
forts as chief executive of the ma
ton" and although the same Dick
Taft-Harding platform defends the
Cannon-Taft-Aldric tariff and de-
clares that mo tariff bill was ever
more unjustly assailed," President
Taft has found it necessary to write
new platform" for the campaign
textbook. The platform" written by
Mr.. Taft at Beverly had to be re-
vised, after 1t was examined in New

prevailing tendencies that projected

ical arena. It was not Beveridge,
Murdoch or LaFollette. They could
not have helped 1t II they had tried.
The 7 1ople got the idea that stand
patism was on the side OF the inter.
ests. They discerned this attitude in
the tariff bill, the railroad bill. the
ship subsidy bill and in the oppres-
sive sway Of the speaker.
"The suspicious became regnant in
the formation of party opinion, and
formulated new expression of Re-
publican doctrine, represented in
what is known as progressiveness
and this new phase Of party purpose
seems to dominate the situation; 1t
seems to say we must not occupy the
old camps any longer; we must move
to new ones, to higher ones. where
the sun Of progress shines for ALL"
With such an argument, from such
source, what more is needed to
convince a reasonable man that the
days Of the stand-pat platform are
numbered?
A few words as to the campaign IN
our own state. Two years ago we
candidates on the Democratic state
ticket exposed the graft and corrup-
ton that existed among Republican
officials at the statehouse. The can
didates on the Republican ticket re-
manned silent and by their silence
protected the guilty and unworthy.
that substantially every charge that
was then made has been found true.
Countless graft dollars have already
been returned to the state and there
are many more coming when the
truth is ascertained. Our opponents
insist that graft is not a party ques-
ton. This does not come well from
those who offered their protection to
the grafters two years ago and who
would be silent upon that question
now were they not driven from un-
der cover by Governor Harmon.
If l am elected attorney general Of
Ohio l will endeavor to do my duty
in all things, and prosecute graft
without any reference to party. The
need of a legal adviser in full sym
yathy with the administration is
most apparent, and | trust that the
re-electinn of Governor Harmon will
also insure the election of all his
associates on the state ticket.
The people want Democratic
reign in the glorious state of Ohio,
and l think the time has come when
we will have it; when we can usher
into the massive statehouse our hon
ored candidates, one and all, and bid
them serve in the good old Demo
cratic way-the way Of honest, noble
hearted Judson Harmon, and the
great party which he representa-.

comes on, for they will be better able
then to Judge whether President Taft
should be stood by or sat down on.

anyway in Ohio this year.

barrass him at every turn, hoping to
secure some political ADVANTAGE. In
my humble Judgment the people Of
Ohio are entitled to the best product
OF the best brain of both parties.
The evils of which we complain,
the evils of which Mr.. Harding com
plains In his Kenton speech, in so far
as they pertain to Ohio Offices, have
grown up for the most part during
Republican administrations and un-
der Republican legislation. The peo.
pie of Ohio cannot afford now to
make change. A state ticket and
Legislature in sympathy with the
governor ought to be elected, and
then they should be held to strict ac-
count at the bar of public opinion. It
will not do now to swap horses in
the midst of the stream"
What Democracy Stands For.
Ohio Democracy, under the leader
ship of Governor Harmon, among
other things, stands for the further
improvement of the public service;
the introduction Of new business
methods; greater economy in the ex
penditure of public funds; proseou-
tion of grafters Of whatever party; a
further reformation Of our tax sys-
TEN, and a limitation thereof Of ten
mills; fair afY6 just regulation Of all
public utilities; home rule, especially
