.Dem6crnts Double Define.

Rumor now has it that when the
Democratic bosses promised
Clarence w. Watson h two votes
IN the Legislature from, Harrison
county and the state senator from
this district IN return for votes and
financial assistance for Davis for
congress and the Democratic county
ticket they did so without first
consulting the candidates for the
legislature n state senate and
they are now having some trouble
In delivering the votes.
Mr.. Watson is a business man and
plays politics in a b~usiness-like way
HIe made the deal with the leaders
of his party, put up the money and
voted his coal miners for the DEM
ocratic ticket, and new he expects
them to deliver the goods, or in
other words TO live UP to their part
of the bargain.
1t Is claimed that when the deal
was made the dealers here
Thought they had two avenues of
escape-drst, that the Democratic
candidates for the legislature in this
county would not be elected; and
second. that the state legislature
would not he Democratic ION joint
ballot. But, in both of these they
were mistaken.
IL will <be interesting to see the
tactics used by the bosses here to
deceive both Watson and the voters
at the same time. Some OF them
have been pretty successful along
this line the last few years, but 1t
will most likely be a show down
this time. The Exponent, the official
organ of the Democratic party in
Harrison county, which is largely
owned and controlled by the,
benehciaries of the deal with Wa
son, has already given him some
pretty hard raps. but it has not yet
had the courage to come out in the
open against him or in favor of any
other candidate. 1t may be that
this plan is taken to please the OPP
position to Watson and h votes
are to be delivered in h caucus as
agreed.
1t is not the kilograms fight, but
It is a matter of public interest and
the Telegram will give the facts as
it sees them from time to time, as
the Exponent seems to !be ''tied up"
o the present and is saying very
little on the subject.

rae Day for Everybody.

What an ingenious fellow is this
Judge Petit, of Chicago. who pro
poses to distinguish all people by
badges revealing their matrimonial
yicissftudes! He would make every

is single or married, divorced or a
widower. Then, he argues, every
young woman would know at once
whether n man she meets is eligi-

WINSTON LECTURES
ON THE COMET

RICH MOND. Vas pecfal.-
A fascinating and instructive lee
ture on HaiieyC comet Was given in
Richmond College chapel Wednesday
by Professor Charles II. Winston be-
fore an audience which filed the room
beyond even standing room. With
ample charts thrown on sheet by
stercopticon machine the audience
was given a very clear idea OF the
movement behavior and appearance
OF comets in general and Lalley's
comet in particular.
He explained that a comet was n
neuhlous vapor having a head the
density OF which was one siN-thous-
andth as dense as the earth and a
tail almost nothing in substance.
Ordinary tobacco smoke, he said.
by way OF Illustration. would almost
hide from view a star which was
plainly visible through millions OF
mi OF a comets tail. The dame
t.. Of a comet ne stated. was from
forty 20 one hundred and hfty miles
ON one OF the charts he showed
that there were 500 comets known
up-to-date. the orbits OF 400 OF which
had been computed and found TO be
eiiiptcaL
Comets require from 5000 TO three
and one-half years 10 traverse their
entire orbit. Hauey's comet goes
around is orbit once in seveuty-six
years" he said. A comets tail. ne
explained. always keeps away from
the sun-that is. keeps its head to-
ward the sun.
This. he stated. was due 70 the in
luence OF the suns light. which re-
PEELED the vapOrous. hazelike sub
stance OF the comets tail with great
force. causing it 20 recede with great
speed. changing its appearance con-
tuually. its tail iengtheninE as u APP
breaches the sun.
lie also touched briefly the life Of
HALEY. the discovcrer OF the comet
which bears his name HALEY was
born in 1855 and died iD 1912. HC
was closely associated with Sir Isaac
4 Newton and attained great fame with
+ .he discoycrer Of the law of -raNita-
zion.
