NEW YORK, July 2S.-While it's
pretty warm weather for campaign"
ing New York is about as full of poll
tics these days as though national
campaign was TO the fore. Maybe the
presence Gin our midst of one Theo'
dorc Roosevelt is partly to blame for
this but certainly not altogether The
fact that for the first time in a good
many years the Empire state is classi-
fed by the political figures as doubt
full state is probably at the bottom of it.
Looking over the field l find there are
no less than nine moro or less active
aspirants for the Democratic nomlna-
ton for governor with perhaps as many
Republican statesmen who are certain
they would look we'll in the chair now
held by Governor Hughes. Altogether
it is going to be lively time IN New

combination to bring this about. are
Roger G. Sullivan, Democratic national
committeeman from Illinois; Former

New Jersey; GEORGE 3. NJ. Harvey and

What School of Mines Does
"The school Of mines aims to fit its
graduates as nearly as possible for the
practical problems that they will meet
in their actual work after they leave

This is all age of trained scientific
men. Large institutions that require
careful work will not bother nowadays
with an inexperienced man. Who would
hire surveyor who had not received n
scientific training along that line? A
boy will never learn TO be surveyor
by running chains IN the field. He is
forced into the technical school. A
practical school education is the thing
now. A man must do things with his
hands as we'll as with his brain. The
merely book-learned boy is thing of
