strong. Having been betrayed
by men in superior positions and
having seen the weak imposed
upon, he has developed a rugged
honesty and Is morally strong be-
yond most men. There are many
things about Hodge that remind
one of Kier Hardie, the Scotch
miner in parliament. He talked
for more than an hour last night.
From the moment in the open
ing, when he told how as a sailor
boy from Scotland, arriving in Ia
coma, he intrusted all his valu-
ables, including $500, to a de-
tective for safekeeping, for whom
he Is still searching to the close,
when he defied the so-called lead
ers' of all the political parties,
including the Bull Moose leaders,
who were reported to be against
him because he isn't a high
brow there wasn't a dull mo-
ment.
Hodge is not an orator in the
sense that We ordinarily use that
term, but he makes you listen.
He is plain, blunt, sincere and
strong. In his face are seen the
marks of his life's work.
There is little of the dullness
of the unthinking laborer, but
much of the logged determine
ton that keeps men fighting. In
his eyes and across his forehead
are the suggestions of the wild
Scotchman,' whom the King coun-
ty politicians so despise.
"The square jaw and straight
nose show they have reasons to
fear him, because Hodge knows
no compromise.
Nobody can foretell the re-
suits of a primary, but If Bob
Hodge Is nominated for governor,
the republican and democratic
candidates will have the fights Of
their lives.
Hodge Is man of the people.
The burr of the native Scotch IN
his voice is rich and strong, and
the explosive expression of words,
with just a tinge of foreign ac-
cept, hold attention as he explains
his conception of the democracy
for which We hope.
Foreign born though he is,
that conception is much higher
than the conception held by many
American-born citizens in poll
tics.
IF Hodge gets to the people,
and IL nominated he will get to
the people, he will get more votes
than any man on the progressive
ticket In this state, not excepting
Teddy, Is my best bet after hear
ing him last night"

BUILDS WORLDS LARGEST COLLIER.
SAVES $1OO, 1000 BY DOING 1T HIMSELF

The United States collier Jupi-

the world, was launched recently
at the Mare Island navy yard.

messages to the unorganized toll

the forfer its significance arises
from contrasts which serve as a

The public Is afforded an illus

Intellectual and emotional

even the thoughtless. viewing the

Most of our national holidays
are associated with. CRISES in our
country's history, with deeds of
men who decided great questions.
To unite in honoring their work
and in contemplation of their pa
triotism means quickening of de-
otion to country, the nurturing of
emotions of inealculable value.
Many of these celebrations are
connected with the unusual, but
one concerns itself primarily with
the things of everyday life-La-
Dor Day. The emotions which lie
deepest are those associated with
the common things of daily living
the common life we share with
our fellow men. Those things
which are so intimately interwo-
