The Baltimore News. in an edi-
torial in its issue Of TUESDAY ,ast
very justly criticises the conduct Of
Secretary Of the State, BRYAN. for
juncketing around the countse
on the lecture platform.
The position Of Secretary Of
State Of this great Nation. is an ex-
allied one, SO to have the personnel Of
the man who fills that place heraldsd
around the country, as lhe show card
in a vaudeville exhibition does not
exactly comport with the dignity Of
this country That he needs money
is no excuse. II he is too poor to
fill the place with the respect
becoming the Nation, the
thing for him to do is to get down
out. As the matter now presents +
self, he loves money more than lis
country.

REPUBLICAN STATE TICKET
NOMINATED


The Republican State convention
met in Baltimore yesterday and
nominated a full State ticket and
adopted a platform.
The ticket as name Hon. Thomas
Parran, of Calvert County for United
States Senator; Hon. Oliver 5.
Metzeroti, Of Prince George County,
for Comptroller and Mr.. Augustus
N. Bernhard Of Baltimore City for
Clerk Of the Court of Appeals is one
of the strongest tickets ever put be
fore the people Of this State for
their SURFACES. From top to bottom
it is composed Of men whose honesty,
ability, integrity and energy cannot
be questioned. They posses TIE
qualifications necessary Tor tie Ell
Gent, faithful and honest fulfllment
of every duty that the people de-
mand Of lLose chosen to perform the
duties Of the respective Offices for
which they have been named.
We will not go into details in set
ting forth their further merits fur
ther than to say that both Msssrs.
Parran and Aleizerott have been
tried in public Office before and that
their records are sufficient platforms
for them to stand upon. Mr. Bernhard
has never held public office but the
high esteem in Which he is held by
the people of Baltimore City, as
demonstrated when Notwithstanding
its being Democratic City he only
fell few votes short Of being elected
Judge Of the Orphans Court two
years ago. ..
The platform as adopted speaks
for itself as a sound, solid and sensi-
BILE foundation upon which any citi-
zen of the State could be proud to
stand upon as candidate before the
people q this State It is progies-
sive, lya and up to date and one
witch The people Of this State can
wsll rest assured viii be carried out if
the Republican party is successful
a: thu November election. The
democratic stump speaker may en-
deavor to attack it but we feel sure
without avail if the people in this
State and our County use their own
souLd Judgment and cor mon sense.
The candidates Of the Republican
p,rt) in his State and County have
been nominated and a most excellent
platform adopted, and not only every
republican should give it the hearty
and warm support it deserves but
every citizen who believes 10 the
government Of the people, by the
people and for the people should get
behind it ike stone wall, titus hoist
ing the fair name of our State at the
upmost point on the banntr Of an
honest and efficient administration
of our affairs

other statement of the poet that good they do dies
with them is not correct scientific.
1t is equally possible to trace the good qualities that
have been distributed from individual throughout
the country. The original Herreshof, who settled in
Bristol, r L., had a remarkable mechanical genius,
which has shown itself in his descendants, who have
built the beautiful yachts that have enabled to hold
the Americas Cup year after year in spite of all
England's efforts recapture it.
In four generations the Herreshofs have produced
nine boat builders of extraordinary ability, showing
clearly that this kind of talent is inherited. In the
youngest generation, which consists only of Children
one, a girl of fourteen, has shown marked boatbuild
ing ability. Eight other members of the family have
shown mechanical talent apart from boat building and
five have been clever musicians.
The extraordinary ability that marked the Lee FAM
lily from the earliest days of Colonial Virginia down to
Gen Robert f. Lee is traceable to the original set
tier Richard Lee. 1t is believed that the Importance
which Virginia assumed in the revolutionary period
was principally due the great numbers of descend
ants which this left.

ly In this mission and is always STICKY

The architects plan houses with III
sufficient space for bedsteads and
tables, doors that open the wrong
way, and closets that necessitate
twice as many steps to reach them
as should be necessary. The tool
makers turn out axes that stick in
the tree and hammers that are badly
balanced; the machine builder makes
machines that have to be taken apart
in order to get out the piece that
needs replacing or adjusting most
frequently, or in which the breaking

The Stupid Mistakes Many Inventors Make

to supply us with useful things are
little short of ridiculous in the way
they fail to achieve their purpose.
You will find in many homes large
wash pitchers of blue enameled sheet
steel, which are popular because
they are likely to prove cheaper in
the end than three or four of china.
Now, the handle on these pitchers
is of such shape and so placed that
it strains ones wrists TO use the
pitcher when the latter is full. The
accompanying basin of the same ma
terial is an unconscious discovery
of the theoretically correct curve for
turbine blades-for water poured in
at the centre at maximum velocity
energies all around the rim at min
imum rate. However useful this
Atlanta Georgian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1912-1939, 1913-11-23

principle may be in a turbine, it
seriously interferes with the eff
cheney of a wash bowl.
Another inventors stupidity is re-
vealed in a gallon enameled sheet.
iron pot, which has it's handle of
circular cross-section and outline
fixed as near as possible to the upper
rim, so that when the pot is full of
boiling water one is sure of being
scalded when lifting it with one hand
without a holder"
Look at your china teapot. Nine
times out of ten the tea, instead Of
pouring from the spout, runs down
the underside and dribbles all over
the table.
An expensive cut-glass syrup jug
shows an equally serious defect. The

cestry for several generations thus aggravating the
defect. DR.. Alexander Graham Bell the distinguished
scientist and inventor of the telephone, finds that the
very numerous deaf mutes of Marthas Vineyard,
Mass, and other groups of deaf mutes who have
never been Marhas Vineyard, trace up" to the
blood of James Skiff.
A genealogist has traced the "bleeders disease"
from named Hannant who came from Norfolk,
England, whose progeny settled in Sullivan County,
New Hampshire, and created there a colony of
bleeders This colony by emigration, has started new
colonies in Minnesota, South Dakota and California.
Even students of crime have traced the disturbing
element of large to single focal point. The
notorious Jukes family have been traced back to
man named Max living in Central New York, in the
early part of the Nineteenth Century, whose defective
and criminal descendants have increased by thousands
and spread all over the Eastern and Middle
States.
