Hamilton Hits the Democrats.

Washington, March 31.-Arising t.
defend the Republican tariff. Rep
Hamilton of Michigan on SATURDAY.
assured the Democrats. they wer
afflicted with "megaphonic politica
holiness"
It was the best of all the famous
Hamilton speeches and will be circulat
ed broadcast over the country. Full o.
epigram and sparkling wit. the speech
drew members focking from the cloal
rooms and elected round after round Of
applause.
I'VE are afflicted with an epidemic
OF political necromancers, whirling der
wishes, sword swallowers and tight.rope
walkers
I'VE are confronted by those who say
nobody ought to want to put the big.
gest potatoes on top nobody ought to
want to fence in the public domain
there ought to be no politicsl But I've
observed there is no immediate pros
poet of such things taking place.
I've observed you can't tell mans
politics by the way he runs his bust
ness, save that when he has no business
he's likely to want to vote the Demo
cratic ticket. Laughter
1--WE have heard much talk Of the
constructive craftsmanship of the
Democrats at the recent special session,
operating under q de-horned speaker
ship. They know as much about some
of the things they tried to pass-the
chemical schedule for instsnce-as q
June bug on giant fire cracker knows
about the chemical action thereof.
"And the net result of this construc-
i've craftsmanship was three bills.
1T is hard for men to be as good in
actual life as they are on the stump
and in magazines.
ut takes less philosophy to take
things as they come than to part with
things "a they 60.
'The Democratic victory in 1910 re.
minds me of those who get fame by
being among those present at boiler
explosion. ~
"In the earlier and less holy times it
was the custom of the ways and means
committee to take testimony on pro-
posed tariff measures. but in these later
Aad holier times they meet on the back
stairs and take no testimony.
"Since cant and hypocrisy are the
works of sin. deliver US, oh Lord. from
these. "a wave of the hand at the
Democrats.)
There was never greater need of
level headed craftsmanship than now.
There never was q time when men
we're 80 willing to rush after strange,
aatrue things"
Concluding. Mr.. Hamilton received
IN ovation. such as is rarely witnessed
IN the house.

GRADUATE Of N, j,
WORKS ON CANAL
G. G. Dobson, Former Stu
dent of School of Engin-
eering, Tells of Panama.
THERE TWO YEARS
He and Wife to Return to
Isthmus After Visit With
Relatives Here.
THERE TWO YEARS

"If nothing worse happens than has
already happened, the first vessel will
be put through the Panama Canal in
one year. In two years the work will
be practically completed, but the fin
ishing touches will require five
years."
That was the statement made by
G. C. Dobson, who for two years has
been employed in the construction
work of the spillway of the Gatun
dam. Mr.. Dobson was graduated from
the School of Engineering at the Uni
versity Of Missouri in 1905. For some
time after leaving school, he did en-
cheering work in the Philippine Is
lands, but since 1910, he has been
working on the Gatun spillway.
Mr.. Dobson describes the Gatun
spillway as place to get rid of the
surplus water of Gatun Lake. 1t also
is a conduit for this water to the
power plant where all the machinery
is operated. The spillway itself will
cost about seven million dollars.
The dam and spillway are of con-
crete and are solid except for a tun-
mel with an air space around it. In
this tunnel is the operating machin-
cry of the whole structure. The crest
Of the great dam is circular which
will make the overflow side a huge
double curve surface. This will be a
sight worth the tourists while as it
is the largest one of the kind in the
world, he says.
The dam itself is a dirt and rock
structure with a hydraulic core al
most as hard as cement. Mr.. Dobson
says that it is so large that tourists
have often stood on the dam itself and
mistaking it for a natural mound have
asked, where is the Gatun DAM"
There are three immense concrete
locks to hold the water back of the
dam in check.
Mrs. Dobson, who was a resident Of
Columbia, has been with Mr.. Dobson
in the canal zone and intends to re-
turn with him when he goes back
next week. They came to Columbia
to visit with Mrs. Dobson's family who
live at 1905 Broadway.

Weary Willie pre-. sented himself at the farmhouse door and humbly requested the sharp faced woman to proyida him with enough food to sustain within him the spark of life. He explained that, while this spark was not especially useful at that time, he had ambitions and expected to fan it into flame of industry which would fully justify any kind ness on her part
