INTIMIDATING VOTERS

The scheming politician will re-
sort to the most despicable methods
to secure support and votes for his
candidate. This is more true in the
East than in the West, but it seems
that in the present campaign for the
nomination of governor in this State,
there is nothing too dirty and low
to be passed up by the campaign
managers of the Galahad of Arizona,
One Of the most contemplate
plans resorted to by the heelers'
working in the interest of "brassy
candidate" Is that of intimidation,
threatening a voter with dire re-
suits unless he supports their can
Aidates.

DIE BY BULLETS

That United States Marine is
trained to brush his teeth, take a
complete bath and wash his under
clothing and socks in half a bucket
of water, was the assertion made
by preparedness speakers at meet
ing of the Home Defense League,
in New York City recently.
Marines die by bullets and not by

most adverse field conditions in the
tropics, members of the United

themselves shaved and clean.

fully in the presidential campaign
in 1896, especially in the big cities
and factory towns of the East The
workingmen were told that unless
Mckinley was elected they would
all lose their jobs and in any event
no republican voter would be dis
charged. This intimidation Of the
voters in the factories and mills of
the East was very successful and
Mckinley was elected.
Now. we are witnessing the same
methods in the campaign for the
nomination of governor in this State.
The other day business man in
ella county was waited on by a
committee representing the labor
union GU and was asked to support
Governor Hunt. He replied that
he was going to support Mr.. Olney,
whom he had known for years and
whom he felt sure would make a
good governor and administer the
affairs of State In the interest of all
the people.
When the visiting labor union
committee realized that they were
talking to a real live American
citizen, who had the ability and
backbone TO decide for himself his
preference for a gubernatorial cam
didate, they came back at him with
threats to boycott his business. They
told him that the members of the
union would take away their patron
age unless he agreed to support the
Galahad of Arizona.
They were not left in any doubt
as to what the American citizen
they were trying to intimidate would
do. for he told them very emphati-
cally that they could start in on
their boycott at once and he defied
them to do their worst.
To those of US who understand
the real objects of a trades union,
the intimidation of the paid agents
in a union of a politician, who be-
lieves that such traitors can turn the
vote of their fellow members to his
side, would have no weight, but the
business man who does not know
that the trades union is opposed to
such methods and that no one or
more members can deliver the vote
of the membership, may be easily
scared into the belief that such a
committee represents the sentiment
of the entire membership of a union
and he may become victim to their
intimidation.
Matters, political, have come to
fine state of affairs, indeed, in our
State, when the intimidation of
voters is resorted to in behalf of q
candidate for governor, who should
be above such despicabIe work to
secure a nomination.

The apparatus consists of lac quered cylinder, which is provided with an interior dividing wall separat- ing both halves of the cylinder. One portion is designed to hold the meat to be smoked, while the other is for the passage of smoke.
 Underneath is a small cylinder which serves to admit the smoke. This is so constructed that the smoke must first pass through the transmission compartment and enter the smoking compartment from above, in order to return finally to the fireplace. That an even distribution of the smoke may be achieved there is perforated plate above the smoking compartment in the large cylinder. This also serves to prevent the entrance of particles of soot and dirt. Two rings are provided on which to support the meat

 The entire combined computed area of the foreign countries and the area of the Western United States are nearly the same. The discrepancy is a bare 15,000 square miles on Eur ope's side. At the same time, howev- CT. Russia in Europe would spread over the whole western part of our country. crowding it to the doors with its 111.000,000 people, being the larg- est of all the European countries.
 The state of California has ample quarters for seven European coun tries, but its population is only little over 100000, whereas little Rou- mania alone harbors just above r. OOO,000 inhabitants.
 Austria-Hungary fits rather tightly across the shoulders in Texas, which has a scattered population of nearly 4.000, ,000, whereas Austria-Hungary has more than 51,000,000 of people accommodated within it's boundaries.

An Invention to Rob
 Fog of Its TerrOrs

Navigators before long may find the fob robbed of its terrors through de- vice invented by pr. A. c. Webster for showing the direction of signals, which he has demonstrated in the Ma. tional Acamedy of Sciences. The ap- paratus. which he calls a phonometer, translates the intensity of sound into terms of light, so that, as the inventor expresses it, the deaf may see what they cannot hear.
 pr. Webster is connected with the Clark University at Worcester, Mass. Impressed with the loss of the steam ship Empress of Ireland in 1914, he went to Father Point, on the St. Law renee, where the boat sank, and there made the experiments on which his invention is based.
 In thick fog, when two vessels are approaching each other. he said, 1t is often impossible for the captains to tell the direction of the sounds from horns In the St. Lawrence disaster the masters of both vessels should have stopped, in his opinion, in view of the uncertainty of telling the ex- act direction.
 First, Dr. Webster showed a reson- ator of phone" which took up the vibrations of a tuning fork and emit ted a sound of standard pitch. This instrument took the place of a regular fog signal. The receiving instrument or phonometer looked like a small round box or a tripod, and from each end projected a conical horn resem- bling a megaphone. The small ends of the horn were turned toward each other The device is placed so that the horns are at right angles with the course of the vessel on which it is installed. The vibration caused by the signal is concentrated by the horns and communicated to a metal diaphragm, which is held in place by small steel wires. The pulsation goes 10 a tiny electric light. and the ef- feet upon it is registered by the re- flections of a mirror on a scale which can be read through a glass attached to the instrument The scale shows the intensity of the sound as the image Of light widens or contracts. The horns swing easily upon a pivot and when they have been so adjusted by the operator that they show the greatest intensity a tube of the instru- ment is pointing in the direction from which the signal is being sounded.
 With the phonometer, although it is not perfectly accurate in it's present stage, Dr. Webster declares that the direction can be determined within a very few degrees. It will be neees- sary to have all fog horns made of the same pitch. or, in other words, stand ard fog horn and siren.
 In connection with the wireless. it is believed that the phonometer would be of value, for ships approaching each other could communicate details obout the fog horns employed as fur ther guide.

THE soMME IN ANCIENT HISTORY

The river Somme, in France, is the classical Samara that played an i'm portant part in the earliest recorded annals of old Gaul. It gave the an- cient name of Samarobriya to modern Amiens, where Caesar held meet ing of the Gaulish tribes in the au tumn of B. C. 54 and in which he made his headquarters during the following winter. It was from the estuary of the Somme, according to plausible theory, that Caesar started on his sec ond invasion of Britain.-Westminist- CT Gazette.

The Kongo river in all its windings is about 5000 miles long and at its mouth is fully twenty miles wide. It is one of the great rivers of the world, being second only to the Amazon in the volume of water emptied into the ocean. The Kongo basin is greater than that of the Mississippi, covering an area more than 1,400 miles in breadth and containing over a million square miles.
