COMPARING WILSON AND LEWIS.

Already the republican ring
organs are beginning their campaign
of personalities against Woodrow
Wilson, but they are having a hard
time OF 1t. Taking ii for granted
that Wilson will be the democratic
nominee and that Vivian M. Lewis
will oppose him on the republican
ticket, the Trenton State Gazette,
the mouth-piece of the present state
house ring, says:
"Mr. Lewis was never president of
a university, but he Is capable of
filing such a position. He Is a law
yer, and so is DR.. Wilson; but, I'M
like Mr.. Lewis, DR.. Wilson was un-
BILE to- make the profession that he
adopted pay, and he turned to
teaching.
I'm this respect his career is not
unlike hat of the late lamented
William Jennings Bryan. Mr.. Lewis
built up a profitable law practice in
his home town in WHICH town he was
born. 1t hasn't been necessary for
him to go away from home to make
good
The fact that makes such talk as
this ridiculous is that Woodrow
Wilson is in a class by himself as far
as any of the candidates for COVER
nor thus far mentioned by either
party is concerned, and everyone
nows it. AS for the respective
cations of the two gentlemen one
only to look at Lewis's place in
profession of law and then at
sons great attachments as a pro-
~sor. Lewis would hardly be heard
outside his own city If he had
1-put aside his law practice to be-
e a politician, seeking favors
the bosses and securing state
Jobs entirely sui of line of his
posen Work2e TN dbe other hand
Ailson is a a who has won his
way to the head of one of the lead
Ing universities in the country and
whose reputation extends far and
wide. He is the author of one of
the greatest works on the American
people that has ever been written.
AS athistorian and economist he has
international fame. If Woodrow
Wilson is nominated and elected
governor he is likely to receive the
democratic nomination for President
in 1912. No one for a minute con-
meets Vivian M. Lewis with any such
honor on the republican side. AS
compared with Lewis, Woodrow
Wilson is a giant.

snails Are Queer creatures.

The snail is found everywhere, over
1900 species being known. Some of
the large tropical snails, as bulimas,
form nests of leaves, their eggs being
as large as a pigeons. The snail is ex-
tremely skillful In mending its shell,
and some curious experiments may be
made with them. Thus I have seen a
helix of a yellow species attached to
another shell of a reddish hue by cut
ting off the top whirl of the latter,
when the snail will proceed to weld
the two shells together and occupy
both, using the addition as a door and
possibly wondering at this sudden ex
tension of its house. In the winter
some of the snails hibernate or lie dor
mant until warm weather. A snail OF
the Philippine Islands has a faculty of
throwing of its tail when seized. This
Is also true OF a West Indian variety,
