One day a friend said TO me. pointing o a la Just entering the New
York postomce, There oes General Abner Doubleday. who invented for the
San Francisco street cars a system OF traction power which you ought TO
be able TO use n New York
Il knew General Doubleday by reputation recalled having heard that
he vas the engineer who perfected the fortihcatons roumd Washngton dur
ing the Civil War. and that he had fought bravely at Fredericksburg, Chan
cenorsvfle and Gettysburg I never had heard that he had invented any
traction system for street cars But my friend told M that when General
doubleday was stationed at San Francisco some seven o. eight years after
the close OF the Civil War he laid before the street a people II that city
plan for hauling by a n endless cable. operating in a subway channel the
street cars OF the city. Instantly. it occurred to ne that General Double
day might have had recollection Oft the way in which the frste elevated rail-
road line In New York City was operated The cars Of that line were
our system.
What General Doubleday could do for San Francisco II seemed TO me
he could do fol New York We found that lis system operated we'll in San
Francisco: so we decided % rect great power houses and establish cable
plants upon some OF our larger METROPOLITAN lines.
Then happened-as il so often does-a curious coincidence OF nven-
ton Shortly after W e had established the cable plant " e learned that by
"A combination Of inventive skill and apparatus we could lay down In the
channel formerly occupied by the cable. a small rail capable If carrying
electric current from power house to al a system which in the long run
was certain TO be more effective and economical than cable traction. So It
was a mere question of figuring We easily figured that We could AFFORD
to lose the investment we had made IN General Doubledays invention OF
cable traction. great as that vas because in the cOurse II a few years the

MR.. L ANSWERS.

National Chairman Hilles begins his
campaign with a complete and smash
ing answer to the charge hat Mr..
Roosevelt was robbed OF the nom
nation at Chicago. The Intelligencer
has heretofore many times referred
to the scanty grounds upon which the
Roosevelt charges Of fraud were
based. The essential fact should not
be lost sight of;
The Roosevelt people did not come
into court with clean hands.
They deliberately manufactured con
tests against 2+O Republican delegates
TO the national convention. and aban-
doned without evidence whatever over
$50 Of these contests.
Why were these contests manufac.
tured?
Solely for the purpose OF creating
prejudice. OF clouding the facts aud
deceiving the public. When these
contests came before the national
committee. wen the Roosevelt mem
bers Of the committee and the LaFol-
iette members Of the committee voted
unanimously to throw them out.
II does not lie in the mouth OF any
man who has c%ouspired to deceive the
public and perpetrate a fraud as TO
100 duly elected delegates. to cry
fraud and theft.
The whole fact is that Col Roose.
welt and his followers attempted first
to browbeat and stampede the ma.
tional Republican committee. and sec.
ond. attempted 20 bulldoze. bride and
stampede the national Republican
convention.
They failed in|eloriously I'm both
efforts. The national Republican or
sanitation does the right and proper
thing in placing this case plainly be-
fore the people. II is right for the
American people 20 know whether
their great national parties are prop
criy or honestly conducted and 20 81.
Just and right for the national Repub
iicau party 20 v.ndicate itself against
the foolish and ~groundiess accusation.
that have been made concorning ths

ON A LEVEL WITH LoRiMER's
OWN

The Shepherdstown Register. Demo-
cratic. OF July is. after declaring that
the expulsion OF Lorimer from the
United States Senate was a patriotic
necessity" says:
But what OF other senator's who hold
seats i'm that body by reason OF the evil
Influences OF the corporations. who were
elected by votes OF legislators who IN em-
selves got their seats through bribery
and corruption"
The Register is not quite as specific
as 1t was in February. 1911. when it
said:
"Tha a very considerable number OF
1enators and members OF the house OF
deleeates sold their votes at Charleston
TO the successful senatorial combination
IL beyond a shadow OF a doubt-indeed.
certain men are pointed out as they walk
as grafters who betrayed their coustitu-
ents for money"
That charge was so grave that the
lntelligencer. in its Issue Of February
IL. 1911, took notice OF Il. 1t was
made not by an irresponsible indi-
vidual, but by one OF the foremost
Democrats in West Virginia. who at

Lady Shelley, who knew

2 description of Lord Byron as she
nrst saw him in 1913:
From Althorp we went to Colonel

Gays. The house is far too small even
Tor the company 1t contained. Lord

tnat he spent most Of the night writ
ing a poem which is to be called "The
Corsair." AS he did not leave his
room until after midday our inter.
course was restricted.
He is decidedly handsome and
q be very agreeable. He seems to
be easily put out by trifies and at
times looks terribly savage. He was
very patient with Mrs. Leigh's chill
dren, who are not In the least in awe
OF him. He bore their d~istracting in.
