A Wonderful Antiseptic.

Germs and infection aggravate
ailments and retard healing. Stop
that infection at once. Kill the
germs and get rid of the poisons.
For this purpose a single applica-
ton of Sloan's Eminent not only
kills the pain but destroys the
germs. This neutralizes infection
and gives nature assistance by
overcoming congestion and gives a
chance for the free and normal flow
of the blood. Sloan's Eminent is
an emergency doctor and should be
kept constantly on hand. 25c..

With the primary but few days of,
the various candidates are hustling and
making the best use of the remaining
time in urging their claims with the
voters.
The little bosses are also hustling and
playing factional politics for all they are
worth. The boss cares nothing about
the qualifications for Office of candi-
the job, in order that some of the pick.
ings may reach his own pockets. This is
the cheapest form of politics, and the in
dependent voter wants none of it. With
this class of voter it is business prop
osition, with offices to be filled by the
most capable men.
This is as it should be, and any voter
who allows himself to be influenced to
vote for a candidate who has no better
claim than that he belongs to this or
that particular faction, is not doing
himself or his county justice. The
campaign has been long one, the candi-
dates are numerous, and there are plenty
of good men to choose from, without con-
sidering faction. which should not enter
into the consideration at ALL
With the secret ballot, every voter has
an opportunity to select those he deems
most capable of conducting the public
business, and he should not allow any
political boss to dictate to him in the
choice of candidates.
Go TO the polls and vote Tuesday next,
but vote for men of your own choosing!

PEARL HARBOR.
Uncle Sans Formidable Naval Base In
the Pacific Ocean.


Uncle Sans Formidable Naval Base In
the Pacific Ocean.
When it was seen that Manila was
useless as a defense for this country
and would be handicap instead Of a
help in war Pearl harbor, on one Of the
Hawaiian islands, nine miles from
Honolulu, was selected, and $13,00O,-
600 was appropriated by congress for
its fertilization. 1t has better har-
Dor than either Gibraltar or Helgoland.
A concave sweep of land makes the
harbor, which is crowned by a long
ridge Of gigantic trees and rugged and
tumbled rock that terminates in an ex-
tinct volcano, known as Diamond
Head A frowning mountain side hides
a beautiful lake that is reached from
the sea by an inlet like the neck Of a
bottle. 1t covers eleven square miles,
with depth of about sixty feet over
nearly all Of 1t. The neck that leads
to the sea is three miles long and hard
ly wider than necessary for vessels to
pass Parallel with the coast is q coral
reef mile wide. Through this chan
mel thousand feet wide has been cut.
It has been equipped with one of the
most complete naval stations in the
world, mile square in extent. 1t has
a drydock. which is the largest In the
world, 100000 ammunition plant
and oil tanks for vessels. The fortifi-
cations, extending for fifteen miles to
Honolulu, consist of powerful batteries,
with cement emplacements below the
ground level The ends are guarded
by two forts, neither of which can be
seen from the ocean. On the land the
guns are defended by series of earth
works that form a crescent from the
harbor to Honolulu In the extinct
volcano is a mortar battery. The four
mortars Of this battery have an ex-
IRENE coast range of nine miles, throw
ing twelve inch shells weighing 700
pounds The seacoast defenses have
fourteen inch guns, and the forts are
supplemented with submarine mines,
controlled by electricity.
Pearl harbor is about 1000 miles
from Unalaska and from Samoa at op-
posite ends and little less from San
Francisco. So with this impregnable
base feet can guard the whole range
of the Pacific for this distance and
have this safe retreat for refitting and
fresh supplies.-Technica World Mag

The 6ubernatlonaI Candidates.

The Baltimore News in a recent edi
torial, lines up the four Gubernational
candidates for the voters consideration,
in this wise:
"There is a clear choice for every
Democrat and clear choice for every
Republican, and certainly clear choice
for every independent party man who
can carry his desire for capable State
officers to its logical conclusion by voting
for the best man for Governor.
Between Weller and Warburton there
is the choice as to whether support shall
be given man who has never been poll.
tically active, but who is running for
Governor on the record of efficiency es-
tablished in the management of the
greatest public improvement enterprise
the State has ever undertaken. Mr..
Warburton excites neither great admira.
ton nor condemnation. We may believe
that if elected Governor he would give
the State fair, humdrum administration
according to his party rights Mr..
Weller, we may be positive, would en-
deavor TO give it the same kind of ad-
ministration he has given to the State
road system-one of high, business like
character.
Between Lee and Harrington there
is. if nothing else, the choice between
new blood and the State Democratic or
ganization that is responsible for nine
teenths of the carelessness, extravaganza
and indifference from which the State
has suffered in the past.
''Mr. Harrington has never demon
strated Gubernational qualifications.
But even had he done so, he is tied to
and part of the old crowd He is cou-
fessedly the old crowds candidate,
What chance would Mr.. Harrington have
TO work for the people after the politi-
clans themselves had put him in Office?
1.-The nomination of Senator Lee must
mean much more than mere personal
honor to him. 1t would convey maa.
date from the party to the party man
ayers 10 clean house. 1t wonld be a
specific act of condemnation of the old
extravaganza. the old footing, the old
misgovernment of the State for the poll
ticians' benefit. The old crowd has
again and again promised economy,
been retained in power on the strength Of
promises, and then strAightway forgotten
them. Senator Lee Is by no means a
saperman. But even if he were an
entirely negative character, the choice
still would lie with him. for he stands
for the reputation of the old system.
The choice here is not wholly beween
two men; it is first and foremost one as to
whether men like Smith, German and
their associates are entitled by their past
performance to new vote of confidence
in them and their promises.

From the dawn of time, humanity

there are the rivers, like the Euphrate,

their banks are vastly superior to the
civilizations of the interiors. But once
the seas are discovered and mastered
the civilizations of the rivers sink int

Prefers Winter Trip in Auto

Preferring an automobile to a pri-

States ambassador to Belgium, made
his homecoming trip from Washing

Touring Car.
Although Mr.. Whitlock arrived at
the Capitol tired and worn from the
great strain he has been under, he
decided that he could secure greater
rest and recreation by making the trip

Big Changes Forecasted
in Automobile Industry

Among the men who keep their
ears to the ground for advance ru-
mors of changes in the attitude of the
motorcar buying public there is a very
decided unanimity of opinion that
the next few years will see the en-
closed car as the popular type of auto
mobile and the electric-powered car
as the general selection of an enclosed
automobile.
Only recently a group of men, all
of whom have been prominent in auto
mobile affairs, were discussing the re-
cent announcement by the Anderson
Electric Car Company of doubled pro-
duction and 5000 to S725 reduction
in price without single change in
quality. One of them remarked, VT
tell you that the easiest game to win
at is to give the public what it desires.
Sooner or later 1t gets what it wants
anyway-and what 1t seems to want
now ana for the future is an electric
powered enclosed automobile. The
aggressive work the Anderson Elec-
trlc Car Company is doing is simply
a forerunner of what the entire cleo
trlc car industry will be doing before
long. The average buyer OF an auto
mobile to-day is a pretty wise chap.
HE has learned that no matter how
good gas car he gets that 1t pos
sesses some inherent drawbacks that
cost bfg-both in money and in an
noyance. On the other hand, he knows
that the modern electric automobile
mas an absolutely smooth unbroken
tiow OF power, that it's mechanism is
SIMPLE and rarely needs attention.
that 1t has big batteries that will take
enough OF charge to provide
greater mileage radius than is re-
kulred by 9S per cent. of all motoring
trips undertaken, that it has more
speed than city ordinances permit YOU
to use, that current for battery charg-
ing is low in cost and constantly be-
ing reduced, that the electric car free
from grease and oil stains, and, best
OF ALL that every member of his fam
lily can drive it just as eXpertly, easily
ana Safely as he can. In other words,
he knows that he and his family can
get from twice to three times as much
use from a modern electric as he can
firm any other type of car-and at
far less expense. He knows, too, that
he can use the electric every day in
the year. winter and summer, with
equal facility and comfort. Just con-
slider the increasing number of electric
cars in use in our city streets Prob
ably every one of us could tell some
friend, relative, or acquaintance who
has turned to the electric car as a real
solution to the tomobile-for his
family, for all the year use."

rutty. both Mr.. and Mrs. whitlock en-
joyed the trip immensely.
The other members of the Whitlock
!, party who enjoyed the winter trip
were Mrs. Whitlock's mother, a maid
and Mieke, the little Pekinese dog
brought over from Belgium. The
driver, an employe of the Harper
Overland Company of Washington.
was chosen by Mr.. Tumulty, secretary
to the President, from among a dozen
willing applicants.
over 200 miles of the 535-mile trip
lay through the Blue Ridge and Allie
gheny Mountains. Mr.. Whitlock chose
the quiet and solitude of the mountain
roads instead of those most frequented
by motorists. His idea was to get
away entirely from the noise and rush
OF the cities so that he could relax for
few days and enjoy a complete
change of environment in undisturbed
privacy.
The party was well protected against
the elements. Fur robes, ulsters and
stocking caps made driving comfort
able, While the crisp mountain air was
an agreeable change from the close,
stuffy railroad cars. During the trip,
the Whitlock party drove through five
snowstorms and it was not until they
neared Toledo that they found the
roads suitable for fast driving. For
hours at q time the car made it's own
tracks over the snowbound roads in
the mountains. One stretch in par
ticular that extended for nine miles
along a mountain trail was spoken of
by Mr.. Whitlock as being more beau
uful than anything he had ever seen
abroad.
No punctures or trouble of any kind
marred the journey. Double chains
had to be wrapped around the rear
wheels of the car as the roads led the
way over mountains seldom traversed
by an automobile. Fifty-one gallons
of gasoline and only one and one-half
gallons of oil were consumed by the
overland during the entire four DAYS.
When the car was examined in To-
ledo it was found to be in perfect con-
dition. No water had been put in the
tank from the time it left Wacshington
ad quart can filled it to overflow
ing.
Upon his arrival home. Mr.. Whit
lock declared the hours spent in the
open air and the eXhilaration of driv-
ing had been If imme-sureable benefit
to him, as II was the first time in two
years he had had an opportunity of
enjoying a complete rest.
