Was Samson So mean7

Samson was one of the early strong
men. He had so much muscle that he
had to play practical jokes all the
time. No doubt. like other husky folk,
he had the idea that 1t was humorous
to slip up behind a friend and hit him
between the shoulder blades SO hard
that he couldn't breathe for a week.
Or he would grip the friends hand
and squeeze 1t Until the fingers were
glued together in pain Like as not
he stroiled about the streets in his
track suit every chance he got.

What A Horse Power Means.

Very few people realize just what
horse power, as expressed in engineer
ing terms, really means.
When it is stated that the worlds
largest Curtis steam turbine, which
drives an electric generator in the
Waterside Station, New York, develops
10000 horse power the meaning is
vague and incomprehensible. Imagine
this term reduced to man power and
almost everyone can grasp its full
meaning. If it takes twelve men to
equal one horse power then this NAM
moth turbine engine develops 12x30, 900
or the working energy of 100000 men.
If these men worked in eight hour
shifts each day it would require the
services of / ,0S0, 900 men every twenty
four hours to produce the working
energy of this single turbine unit

BEING A DEMOCRAT.
Mr.. Hearst's Varied Experience In
Serving the Party.
Nov York World

[Now York World
Sadly and sorrowfully the Hon. Will
liam Randolph Hearst reads the Hon.
Woodrow Wilson out Of the Democrat
ic party.
In long and anguished letter to
the Washington Post Mr.. Hearst says
of the governor of New Jersey:
1.-THE whole trouble with Professor
Wilson Is that he is not Democrat
and does not know how to be Demo
crat. His Democratic pose is assum-
ed and therefore awkward and I'M
natural"
But Is there no hope for Woodrow
Wilson? Can he never scale the ey-
allied heights Of Democracy which Mr.
Hearst has attained? We know. of
course, that Governor Wilson began
wrong, but perhaps the mistakes of
the past can he remcdied.
To be truly Democratic Governor
Wilson should have run as n munich
pal ownership candidate for mayor in
1905 in order to defeat the regular
Democratic candidate
In 1906 Governor Wilson should have
spent $3.50 600 organizing an lndepend-
ence league to name him for governor
stolen nomination from Murphy after
Grady had done the dirtiest days
work OF my life"
In 1907 Governor Wilson should have
gone into partnership with the Repub-
lican bosses and the Republican ma
chine and placed fusion" ticket in
the field against the Democratic ticket
In zoos Governor Wilson should have
financed and nominated an mdepend-
ent presidential ticket to help Taft and
Roosevelt defeat Bryan.
In 1900 Governor Wilson should have
mayor against the Democratic candi-
date, with the support of Chauncey
NJ. Depew, the Republican bosses and
other reform" elements.
In 1910 Governor Wilson should have
been an independent candidate for lieu
ing the Democratic ticket and keeping
the Republicans In power In Albany.
In 1911 Governor Wilson should have
again nominated fusion" ticket I'm
partnership with the Republican ma
chine. Then. as soon as his fusion
ticket was beaten and II became APP
parent tina the Democratic party had
chance winning the presidency he
should have formally announced his
return to emocracy.
Woodrow Wilson may not know
how To DO Democrat" hut Willirm
Randolph learst knows, In compari-
son with lr, Hearst no other Demo
crat ever was Democrat He is the
only Known specice,, Of Ms kind

Senator Sure He Can Carry
State Of New York.
COULD WIN IN new ENGLAND.
Senator Gardner of Maine Endorses
New York Colleagues View That New
Jersey Governor Is Strong In Sections
Where Fees Say He Is Weak.

Senator O'Gorman Of New York de-
clarcs that Woodrow Wilson If chosen
the Democratic nominee can carry that
state against any Republican.
A weighticr comment on present day
politics has not been made. 1t brushes
the hmsy pretenslOn that Woodrow
Wilson's candidacy would lose or i'm
peril the partys chance In New York
state and indicates his strength in the
strategic center of the east as well as
in the west aud the south.
Coming from leader of Senator
O'Gormans prestige and farsighted-
ness, this estimate Is particularly Sig
nificant. He Is the titular head Of the
Democracy Of New York, a state that
has ninety votes in the nominating
convention and forty-fve votes In the
electoral college, the state for which
both parties strive most vigorously In
presidential years as the key to ma
tiOnal success. He has the support of
Tammany Hall, but he Is immeasura-
bly, beyond and above the system with
which Tammany is identified in the
DuDllc NINA. he Is NeTScu Ill pTdC-
teal politics, but he is also a states
man of spotless record and Of rare
ability, so much SO indeed that when
he was called to the senate the people
as n whole, regardless of party con-
nections, rejoiced that the duties of the
Office had fallen upon man so emil
nently fitted to bear them.
or all the Democratic nominees yet
suggested Woodrow Wilson would not
only stand the largest chance to carry
New York, but. according to the recent
testimony OF Senator Gardner of
Maine, he is the only Democrat who
could win portions Of New England.
From the clear headed testimony Of
these two eminent Democrats, Sena
tor O'Gorman of New York and Sena-
tor Gardner of Maine, 1t Is evident that
Governor Wilson is particularly strong
in the very places wherein his foes
would have us believe he is fatally
weak.
When to this fact Is added the conf
dence and the following he has won
over the country as whole there can
be no fair minded doubt that of all
the aspirants in the field he is by far
the best fitted both as n statesman and
n candidate.
