SENATOR BURTON
IDEAL CANDIDATE
An Intimate View of Him In
1912 Campaign.
is STRONG FOR FAIR PLAY.

On One Notable Occasion Declared
That He Would as Soon Think of As
saulting a Mar as Misquoting Him,
Great Statesman and Prodigious
Worker, Says Isaac M. Meekins.
When the presidential campaign in
1912 was in full blast the chairman of
che Republican national committee re
Quested me to do some campaigning
for the committee. l was called to
New York and informed that the com
mittee had decided to put on what it
pleased to call 1.-The Tariff Special"
This was a train with which it was
intended to trail Woodrow Wilson's
western trip and cover each point
touched by the Democratic presiden-
tial nominee. | was told that Senator
Theodore E. Burton was in charge of
the train and that l had been selected
to accompany him on this trip. | join
ed the senator at Indianapolis, and in
less than a half hour he had my COM
plete confidence and | felt that / had
known him all my life. His manner
was easy, open and frank. He was
positive. but not abrupt.
Very soon l began to learn some of
the qualities of the distinguished SEN
ator. Among the first was an illus
tration of his scrupulous sense of fail
play. On the train out of Chicago an
Iowa newspaper man called Senator
Burton's attention to a passage in
Woodrow Wilson's "History of the
American People" wherein be de
scribes the panic of 1884 and con-
cludes by saying. Not until the year
1897, when the new Republican admin
istration came in power, did the crisis
e past This bit of information
interested me vitality. l was curious to
know what Senator Burton would do
with it-hOw he would handle 1t. l
fully expected him to use this item in
his very next rea end platform speech.
But he did not. | went to him and
asked him why he did not make use
of hat quotation from Wilson. 81
shall make use of it as soon as | have
an opportunity to verify it," he replied.
81 shall look it up as soon as | get to a
public library" Late the neXt night
in the Denver Public library | found
Senator Burton porting over a volume
of Wilson's "History of the American
People," 81 have found the state
ment," he said, land now l shall use
it." 81 should have used it before I
told him. But | could not afford to
do thatr" he exclaimed. Il would as
o o think of assaulting a man as
misquoting him."

Since the advent of the Man of Galilee
people everywhere have demanded the
humanities of their leaders. Prudence,
justice. duty, kindness. consideration,
service and honesty weigh more in the
scales of public opinion than wisdom
and learning. But combine these at.
tributes and we have all that is best
In human character.
/ am a delegate to the Republican ma
tional convention mt Chicago. which
meets June I / am not committed t.
any candidate for president. | am free
to vote for whomsoeyer | please and to
change from II to another candidate
as my judgment shall indicate. How
ever, knowing Senator Burton as |
do, | felt that | wanted others also to
know hin as he is. To my mind he
is a presidential possibility who pos
sesses all the requisite Qualifications in
full measure. Besides making a great
president he would make a good party
man. Senator Burton believes in the
Republican party. While he would not
permit partisanship to interfere with
the duties of the great office to which
he aspires, yet he can be counted on to
solidify the party and set it as a nail
in a sure place. There is not a dis
loyal fiber in his great nature, not a
suspicion of ingratitude in his charac-
ter. He would cherish the organiza-
ton that placed him in the highest
and most honorable official position in
the world.

elected president every citizen of the
United States can have his cause heard
at the White House, if he has a cause,
and in party matters the humblest of
our rank and file will be heard and
considered. Mr.. Victor Murdoch said
the other day, Colonel Roosevelt is a
natural man." So is Senator Burton.
There is a quiet reserve and dignity
about Senator Burton, but only that
which is perfectly fitting for a presi-
dent of the United States, while there
is none of the happy-go-lucky spirit
about him. The genial warmth of his
spirit and his kindly and sympathetic
manner are totally Inconsistent with
any suggestion that Senator Burton is
cold blooded. Senator Burton is a man
of deep sentiment without being senti-
mental. There is a vast difference be-
tween sentiment and sentimentality.
just as there is a vast difference be-
tween kindly consideration and cold in
sensibility. But every man can expect
of Senator Burton a quiet consideration
of an issue or a cause, an honest con-
clusion and a gentle, kindly and SYM
pathetic announcement of that conclu-
sion at any time, any place. under any
and all circumstances.

PRESS THINKS WELL
OF SENATOR BURTON
Logical Man to Oppose VIII
son, Says ASheViIIe Citizen.

While political leaders are for one
man or another, for one purpose or an
other, it is found that Republicans
seeking success this year want a man
of strong Republican convictions, a
nan of experience in public affairs and
a knowledge of the needs of the coun-
try.
Just what is thought of Senator Bur-
ton in different parts of the country
may be seen by the comments of diff
ferent papers of recent date.
Says the Olean Evening Times of
New York:
1.-THE candidacy of Senator Theodore
e. Burton is being pushed with an ener-
gy and vigor by his friends who know
him best and his Washington asso-
ciates who know him as a legislator
that bid fair to land the nomination
at Chicago. No other man now before
the public as a candidate is getting the
favorable comment in this relation as
Senator Burton"
The Sioux Falls Is. d. State Forum
says:
life Forum believes that for pure
s~tatesmanlike ability, knowledge and
needs of the country and how best to
meet them Senator Theodore g.. Bur-
ton is the best man of the entire list.
He is right on the tariff, right in his
~Americanism, right in his ideas of gov
ernmental service and n of the real
leaders of the country"
Wheeling (W. Va.) Intelligencer:
Development of sentiment among
West Virginia Republicans has been
altogether favorable to Theodore e..
Burton. AS matters now stand he will
undoubtedly have the West Virginia
delegates to the Republican conven-
ton"
Asheyille IN. c. Citizen:
Senator Burton is the logical man
to oppose President Wilson, because
he combines the advantage of repre-
senting both Republican and Progress
sive elements without having any Of
the Objectionable characteristics that
bar others from leadership"

Burton of the Grant Family.

Theodore e. Burton belongs to the
Grant family. He is a descendant of
Mathew Grant. who came to Massa-
chusetts in 1880. On one Of the few
occasions when Senator Burton talks
about himself he said: 1.-THE Grants
have been Unconditional men. They be-
lieve that Ulysses S. was as typical a
Grant as was the venerable Mathew.
the founder Of the clan. Travelling by
steamer on the James river, an explo

tor Buttons fine courtesy and consid-
GRAFTON for others hat | think it worth
while repeating. Although this was
one of the most attractive points in
our trip. he proposed hat | should on
this occasion make the set speech. AL
though l protested, it was finally ar
ranged that he would take only fifteen
minutes and give me the balance of
the time. A splendid audience greeted
US that night; several thousand were
gathered in "a theater. Senator Burton
opened the meeting and was at his
best. The audience responded to him
Immediately, and he could have held
the attention of the men and women
gathered there for hours. | tossed him
a note telling him that ne should hold
the platform and not confine himself
to the agreed fifteen minutes; that the
audience was his and never mind me.
After speaking just fifteen minutes
Senator Burton sat down. That night
on our train. chatting with the press
reporters, 1 asked Senator Burton why
he did not continue his speech. Be
cause l mad to keep my promise" he
said. 81 would no soone trespass
upon another mans time than | would
trespass upon his pocketbook."
Had | been a member of the presi
dents cabinet Senator Burton could
not have been more considerable of my
feelings and my comfort in every par
ticular than he was during this entire
trip. was as unknown to him as to
the reader of this little story. Herein
is revealed the real man.
Travelling brings out the true char
acter of the man. After close associa-
ton with Senator Burton for a mum
Der of weeks | can say of him that he
is not only a statesman and philoso-
pher and in many respects Il genius,
but he is a sympathetic, hont. 4. brave
gentleman, personally kind. gentle and
sincere. Campaigning in 1912 for the
Republican nominee was fraught with
many difficulties and embarrassments.
By reason of these very difficulties and
embarrassments | found that Difficult
ties do not discourage Senator Burton;
neither do failures brighten him. With
extraordinary celebrity of perception he
finds his way out of every difficulty
and out of every embarrassment. Dur
ing my entire association with him ]
never once heard him complain.
Statesman and Worker.
In addition to the refinement of char
acter which he possesses, Senator Bur
ton is endowed with a great mind, is
a great statesman and a prodigious
worker. A man may be a great states

American voter is inclined to expect

German Aircraft.

In contradistinction to the greater
part of the aircraft engaged in the
present war which, in order to gain
immunity from anti-aircraft guns, fly
at high attitudes, it is learned that the
Germans have devised and introduced
into service an aeroplane that flies
below the line of fire of these guns.
It is exceedingly fast and flies so low
that anti-aircraft artillery cannot be
trained on it so that the shells viii
burst with accuracy. However, in get.
ting immunity from these guns It
comes within range of rife fire and
machine gun fire, and as a protection
against these it is heavily armored.
Flying close to the ground, the occu-
pants of the new German aircraft are
in position to locate accurately the
position of troops and masked bat
teries, and obtain much military in
formation of inestimable value

THROUGH THE EYE OR Earl
Different Theories That Have Been
Advanced Concerning the Faculty
of Retentiveness.

Do you remember" through your
ears or through your eyes? Some peo-
pie remember what they see; some
what they hear, remarks writer in
the New York Evening World.
Is the ear more attentive than the
eye? Are we more impressed with
what we hear than With what we see?
There is familiar legend of Macau-
lay reciting a good part of Paradise
Lost" during voyage to India and
of the historians ability to rise from
a book and repeat word for word what
he had read. There are also records
of John Stuart Mills ability to remem-
Der the printed word.
But the balance of evidence seems
in favor of the power to memorize
that which passes through the ear into
the brain.
Memory Woodfall, who lived in
the latter part of the eighteenth cen
fury, could attend a debate and report
it exactly without notes, pure feat
of aural memory.
Toscanini can conduct a number OF
difficult operas without the score be-
fore him. Thomas Beecham, the Lon
don orchestra leader, conducted from
memory Strauss "Rosenkavalier" on
twenty-four hours notice.
Won Buelow is said to have memoir
lied Stanford symphony on the train
between Hamburg and Berlin and to
have conducted it without the score in
the latter city, says the Cincinnati
Times-Star. Doctor Kunwald can con-
duct from memory large number of
orchestral works with all their nuances
of Interpretation.
1t is question for the psychologist.
The popular verdict probably would be
in favor of the prowess of the ear
rather than of the eye. There are a
large number of people who can re-
member an air exactly, but to whom
the printed word is an evaporated
thing as soon as it passes from their
eyes.

FLEA LEARNED NOT TO JUMP
Trainer Tells How He Cures the Little
Creatures of Habit to Which
They Are Accustomed.

A man who has been exhibiting a
troupe of trained fieas at county fairs
in England gives the following account
of the first steps in the training:
THE first thing to do is to break
them of their natural habit of jumping
One can see\ how necessary this is
when oLs considers the insect is less
than one-eighth of an inch in length,
with a jump of three feet, thus 300
times its own length. If six-foot
man had the same leaping power he
could make leaps Of 1900 feet, so that
when a flea has the advantage of one
leap he is as good as gone forever.
My apparatus for jump breaking is
a round glass ball. l confine him in
this for three weeks. / look through
this ball, touch it, flash lights into it,
talk, do everything to let the flea ac-
custom himself to my presence. At
first he will jump and jump. He
strikes against the curved walls and
gets to know that it is less painful to
crawl than to jump and get bruised.
The flea cannot differentiate be-
tween transparent glass and no glass,
so that when / take him from the ball
he still fears this peculiar obstruction,
and so he doesn't jump"
