PREDICTS HUGHES AS NOMINEE

Americas foremost political prop
het, Col. George Harvey, editor of the
North American Review, predicts the
nomination of Justice Hughes and his
acceptance of the call of his country.
He says: "Never since this Republic
demanded that George Washington
become its first president has there
appeared so striking an instance of
the office seeking the man."
He shows the views of Hughes on
the tariff, foreign relations, peace
preparedness and bosses, quoting his
utterances and pointing to his exam
pie. He points to his courage and
his liability. He argues that a man
of his moral and intellectual strength
may be depended upon to apply the
general principles he is known to
hold to the specific problems of the
future, some still unknown, without
being blown about by every wind of
doctrine. 1t is Hughes the courage
Gus, unwavering statesman the peo-
pie want and not some shifty dis
ciple of expediency.

An army Of ten corps would fight on
a front about thirty-seven miles long,

quire twelve or fourteen hours to do It
An army corps consumes nearly 300,.
900 pounds of food a day. about 10O,.

Chewing tea comes from SIAM" said
a traveller. "They call 1t mieng. 1t is
in a plug. like chewing tobacco, and 1t
has villainous smell. This smell Is
due to the fermentation it has under
gone. The tea that the Siamese en-
ploy for chewing purposes is very
coarse, rank plant. 1t Is gathered like
ordinary tea, but the leaves after being
compressed into plugs are buried for
fifteen days. They ferment during
burial. On their resurrection they are
very, very fragrant indeed. The STA
mese boatmen chew tea. The rickshaw
men chew II. The litterateurs chew It.
They say 1t makes them work better.
This is probably the truth, for l chew
ed a plug myself in Anam, and it ex-
hilarated me strangely. But the after
math was bad-a headache, smarting

A POLITICAL aB00M.v
How the Idea Of the Expression Came
TO Its First User.

0oW the iooa OF tuc G<PEeeet0V SeU@
to Its First User.
The word boom" as applied to a po
iltical movement so far as known, was
first used by the editor OF a Republican
newspaper In ST. Louis, Mo-, pending
the return of General u. s. Grant from
the trip around the world undertaken
by him In 1876. Immediately following
his retirement from the presidency Of
the United States
The term was used so persistently
and 50 cltverly that IT soon began to
lodge In popular thought and to take
on the meaning which the editor in
tended To convey when he declared
that the movement looking to a third
term for Grant was booming" or
when he employed the invention as a
noun and spoke OF 1.-THE Grant BOOM"
The idea had come to him from a
common expression used by the peo-
pie along the Mississippi river. When
that stream was at fioodtide and sweep
ing everything before 1t 1t was said to
be booming" The st. Louis editor
aimed TO convey the thought that the
movement for the nomination OF
Grant for the presidency in 1880 was
like the onward sweep of great river
under such conditions, and therefore a
boom.
The term soon came into general use
and has been applied in the United
States ever since. alike to spontaneous
and preconcerted or organized move
ments looking to the placing Of some
person in an Office Of Importance. not
necessarily, but generally, the presi-
dency.-Christian Science Monitor.
