ROOSEVELT IN SOUTH DAKOTA.

Colonel Roosevelt spent Saturday
in South Dakota and was greeted in
Sioux Falls by the largest crowd OF
people assembled in this city. The
Argus Leader estimated the number
OF people on the Street to greet Col.
Roosevelt at 25, 0 but an outside
newspaper man who is used to esti-
mating crowds, said he thought there
we're 10000 people on the streets.
Whichever estimate is correct, 1t Is
certain that the crowd was the larg-
est ever seer in Sioux Falls. The peo-
pie had filled the huge tent an hour
before Col. Roosevelt reached it, and
acres of folks overlooked the space
about the tent in a vain effort to hear
some Of the things which the Colonel
said.
The people of South Dakota believe
in Col. Roosevelt. They believe in
him because they have confidence In
his absolute honesty, In his great
ability, and In his patriotism; and the
greeting on Saturday was South OAK
ota's testimony that in their judge
ment Roosevelt made good when he
was Deputy Sheriff of Dakota Terri
tory, that he made good when he was
President OF the United States, and
that he is making good as a private
citizen. He stands today as the Fore
most Private Citizen of the world.
South Dakota honored herself in Civ
ing him the great reception accorded
him In this city on Saturday.

allude where Mr.. Freeseman stands

when FreeSeman compares mans d.

that he may at some time have stray

pitiable circumstance as the progress

echoing from the Cliffs OF the pros

sectionalism may clean from his eyes,
that the goddess of liberty will smile
him out from his political darkness
into the broad sun light Of progression.
Therefore Roosevelt supporters abso-
lutely refuse to partake of Donkey
feed, they will not yield to democrats
who monopolize superstition and
pipe dreams. They allow no human
being to act as intermediary between
them and logical reason.
1t is evident from the braying of

 beautiful country near Spuyten Duyyil, and at the corner of 225th street and
 Broadway she rented an apartment. For a week or two she busied herself in put
 ting that place in just the condition she desired. Then she sent out invitations to various persons to come and visit her.
 There never was such another apart ment in America. There was not such an
 article as a match or a. broom within
 It's walls. It was an electric flat. Every
 body who came into it was electrified. It
 was optional with the visitors whether
 they had a simple luncheon. course dll-
 ner or an elaborate banquet. Each vls-
 itor was asked to make a choice and was
 told it was no more trouble to prepare
 one than the other.
 Everything was cooked by electricity.
 The apartment was heated by electricity,
 lighted by electricity. swept and gar
 nished by electricity; there was an electric percolater for making coffee. an electric
 egg boiler for the strictly freshes,'' elec-
 tric waffle irons for making waffles, an electric toaster to make toast on, an cleo
 tric tea kettle to prepare the water for tea, and. of course, an electric chafng
 dish. In the kitchen there was an elec-
 tric wash boiler an electric wringer, an
 electric dryer, an electric iron. In the
 bed rooms there were electric hairbrushesl an electric milk warmer, an electric hot
 water bag, electric curling irons, electric
 vibrators, electric hair dryer, an electric fan and forty eleven other articles that only women know the names of. The cleo tric flat had some rather distinguished visitors. Marion Harland, whose reputa- tion as a cook is probably the best estaD- lished of any woman in the world, was there for several hours. So was Mrs. A. NJ. Palmer, so was Miss Anne Morgan, Miss Elizabeth Marbury and hundreds of others. Some of the visitors were from
 far distant points. Miss Keinz kept 2 guest book Some of the diners wrote
 poems in it: some wrose rathe lengthily in praise of the hostess and the viands, and one-William J. Lampton-penned

 Nellie I<enz is about the last girl who
 would be picked out of a crowd for her
 mechanical knowledge or mechanical
 trend. She is tall-nearly six feet tall-- slender and feminine to her finger tips. She does not carry tool kit with her now of the size she used to in the earlier days of her work. but she still has a min iature tool case that always sits on her desk in the handsome office she occupies in the neigrborhood of Long Acre square Her friends say she is a mechanical genlus-that all she needs is hammer.
 a screw driver and sheet of metal and
 she will make steam engine or any other piece of machinery that is needed.
 It is possible, even highly probable, that the world would never have heard of Nellie Keinz and that her skill as hea.- ing engineer never would have been brought into play if it had not been for her good nature in going to act as demon

among these savages of the north. Tn the mountain province there now exists 130 miles of good trails. Cars are being run from the coast to Cerventes, and in a short time they will reach Bontoc, the capital In Ifugao there are 10000 men who each did 10 days work on the road last year. The old trails have been widened and improved, and 1t is expected that 300 miles of new roads will have been completed during this fiscal year. This road work is going on in Mindoro and otherwheres.
 The Americans Versus the Filipinos
 In closing I would say that the wiid men are afraid of the Filipinos and that there is mutual dstrust between the two classes The Filipino despises the wild man on account of his ignorance. mi fears him for the vengeance he has shown in the past. A war of prejudice and hatred has risen up between him and the semi savages, and 1t is said that he has tauntcd the latter with the statement that .he American government is to be only tenn porary and that in time all the tribes will be ruled by him. This the wild man fears and he has come to the American again and again and begged him to stay and continue to give him his rights in the courts and the other great advantages which he now has.

the fur business in the last few years and Nellie Keinz has taken advantage of 1t. Furriers in treating the belts have to wet them down to stretch and press them. They used to employ gas iron in the pressing. The gas was objectionable for various reasons. so Miss Keinz devised an electric iron especially for this kind of work. Then she designed a certain oven for drying out the skins after the fur had been first dried by electric fans. Now the whole business is electrical.
 The writer asked Miss keinz if she thought the blissful time was near when an ordinary white man could by merely pressing a button or turning switch, heat his house and cook his meals. Her reply was: NO; there is one barrier that it will take many years to overcome That is the cost Electricity for heating has a wide field, but it has it's Limitations, and this is one of them"
 Nellie Kcinz is guide, philosopher, friend and mother confessor to hundreds of am bilious persons who have ideas for eleo- trical devices. They come to her with their more or less crude notions. ManI- lecturers come to her with things they want to introduce or that they believe will be of use. Others come to her with walls about what they need and want to use but cannot get. More than one hafs the appliances that are submitted to her for opinion are absolutely of no value. Everything that is good she gets enthu- siastic about and then studies ways to employ 1t.
 Two years ago she went up to that

Miss Anne Morgan, daughter of J. Pier pont Morgan, established a great restau- rant over there few years ago to provide a midday meal for the mechanics and la- borers who work about the yard. One of the chief features of the kitchen end oe this restaurant was an electric oven Miss Morgan was very proud of that oven when it was put in She was not quite so proud of it when they started to bake in it. Somehow you could do almost any thing with that oven except bake.
 Electricians studied 1t, toyed with it, opened the front and the rear of 1t, the sides and the top of it, and shook their heads. There was nothing doing with the oven They probably would have used it as an ice chest if it had not been for Nell lie Keinz. She went over and took a peep at that outrageous oven. Then she got out a screw driver, hammer and a chisel from her kit of tools. The next minute she was doing a lot of things to that oven. When she got through with it all it's crankiness, obstinacy and balIly habits had been cured. The oven baked. It has been a perfectly well behaved elcc- tric oven from that day to this.
 Miss Morgan points to 1t with a great deal of pride whenever any friends of hers go over to the navy yard restaurant to in
The Birmingham age-herald., 1912-02-11

spect her establishment Incidentally the admiration of Miss Keinz's workmanship engendered in Miss Morgan has not waned. Tn fact, the acquaintance that began that day between the former sewing girl and the daughter of the richest banker in the world has developed into the warmest of friendship. That oven has today lot of work to do for between TOO and 800 per sons are fed daily in that restaurant at the midday meal.
 While Nellie I<einz has made national and an international reputation as heat ing engineer secure. it is not in this that she is of most value to the Edison con- pany Her business is to discover methods of widening the use of electricity for heat ing, and some of the things she has done and some of the ways she has tried to broaden the field are almost uncanny.
 She says there is no department of man ufacturng in which electric heating is not of great utility She says, too, that there are hundreds of forms of other work in which it can be employed You would not think a bank or trust company would have much use for electric heating. Yet Miss KeinZ discovered a method by which they find it of great assistance. Every bank uses sealing wax in large quantities. She devised little affair for melting wax.

was getting out in the way of an electric cal heating device. It was a stage oY ex- perimentation and change. No one was more enthusiastic over anything new than this girl. The first thing she did to 1t was to explore it inside and out, inspect it from every angle, test it, prove it. get acquainted with it-and then try to lm- prove upon it.
 There were a lot of people around that Brooklyn office who could not understand how that girl could become so enthusiastic over such queer things. Some one of prominence in the Edison establishment happened to notice Nellie Keinz, and as a result she was transferred to the New York office and made head of the depart ment of electric heating.
 The department was not very big, he cause it consisted only of Nellie Keinz She was general manager. clerk and office boy. She had 10 create her own field. If she developed business she would be re- tained If she did not she would lose her joo. She had to find ways of making electrical appliances useful, ways of in- troducing them to the public and of induc- ing the public to buy them.
 For one year she was alone. She had no one to make suggestions to her, no one to advise her, no one to point out when she erred. She absolutely had to depend on her own judgment. At the end of a year she was so burdened with work that she had to have assistance.
 Today she has ten assistants. Within a year she will have 20. She has a fair amount of respect for the electrical the orist, but she says practical knowledge goes a lot further.
 Men who know q thousand times moro about the technical end of electricity than does Miss Keinz have hard time under standing how she does some things. She says the explanation is the use of com mon sense and practice. One little illus tration of how she stumps the technical gentlemen was afforded over in the Navy Yard in Brooklyn.
