CONFIDENCE
Cordially yours,
PERSON W. BAN

Confidence is something almost as diff
ficult to define as it is to summon at will.
We Know in a general way that it pro-
ceeds from character, yet there is more
to it than this. The man you sit next to.
who is driving the car, may have char
acter, yet you unconsciously stiffen your
knees when he goes around corners.
When you have confidence you are re-
Taxed and double result is achieved: he
does well and you let him do well. And
is not this the difference between this
Administration and the last one? We
were curious about Mr.. Hughes, but in
quite different manner than about Mr..
Bryan. Our curiosity about Mr.. Bryan
soon wore off. Think of the difference
between Bryan and Hughes. Think
of the difference between Burleson and
Baker and Daniels and others it is not
necessary to recall, on the one side, and
Mellon and Hoover and Hughes and Hays
Dawes and his ways.
A crew of pessimists is abroad who
persist in saying that the bottom has
dropped out of everything. Things are
bad, no doubt, but it is precisely when
things seem to be at their worst that
they mend. Confidence is returning
| slowly, but returning We have had
some pretty hard jolts. The men in
charge of our government today are
going about their task in a thoroughly
businesslike manner. They have the
good sense to acknowledge their own
limitations and the honesty not to claim
to be miracle workers.
MIR. Harding has fastened upon him,
through long years of practical expert
ence, habits of endurance and hard work.
He grows in repute. His sincerity shines
through everything he does. We know
he is not superman. Let us not regret
the fact.-NeW York Tribune.

"THE ELECTRIC SHIP"
BY T. T. MAXEY
@, Western Newspaper Union.

THE NEW MEXICO was the first
L battleship constructed in the
United States, to be propelled by
electricity.
This ship is ga feet long, weighs
$4,000 tons and from the water-line
to the top of the mast is as high as
a ten-story building.
To drive it u knots an hour re-
quires 2S,OOO horse power. Her oil
burning engines are fed from tanks
which carry approximately 100000
gallons of oil. It's nine boilers pro-
duce $4,000 horse power of steam
energy. This steam turns two tur-
bines which develop $4,000 horse
power. These turbines are marvellous
savers of fuel and space. Each tur-
bine is connected to an electric gen.
orator. Each generator produces
10000 horse power of electrical
energy.
Huge cables carry this current to
the control board from which the en-
gineer operates the ship. From this
point this power is sent to four giant
motors of 1000 horse power each
one of which is attached to each pro-
peller shaft.
LET electricity do it" is the motto
on the New Mexico. Electricity re-
wolves the gun turrets, moves, loads
and fires the guns; raises the anchor,
moves the rudder and pushes the ship :;
lowers the boats, pumps the water,
runs the machine and blacksmith
shops, heats and lights the boat op-
crates the interior communicating fire
protection, refrigerating, ventilating
and telephone systems and wireless in
struments; peels potatoes, washes
dishes, mixes the bread dough, washes
and irons the clothes in the laundry,
sterilizes the instruments in the hos
pital and does numerous other I'M
loOked-fOr stunts. .
In every sense of the word, the New
Mexico Is an electric ship. e1l

Dear Mr.. Metzler, Editor:
The Library of the Society, Sons of the
Revolution, in Los Angeles, has recently
come into possession of one of the most
valuable town histories possessed by any
library in the United States.
The town of Morrill,, Waldo county,
Maine, lost all of it's early town RECORDS
by fire along about 1850. Timothy w.
Robinson, one of the old citizens of the
town, began gathering data from old
families still there and from adjoining
towns and counties, bearing upon the
early history of Morrill,.
This compilation was continued until
1887, when it was thoroughly digested
and from the vast amount of material and
data on hand, history of the town of
Morrill, was prep AIRED from 1894 to 1887.
When Mr.. Robinson died, this history
in his own hand writing covering several
hundred pages in large account book,
came into the possession of a grandson
who loaned it TO Mrs. E. H. Moore of
Pasadena, who, receiving permission from
the new owner, copied the entire history
on the typewriter and prepared a detailed
index of all the old residenters and their
descendants, town officers, representa-
tives, and list of the citizens contained
therein, and presented the same to the
Library of the Society, Sons of the Revo-
luton in Los Angeles. The same has
been bound and is now accessible to the
public during the morning hours the H.
brary is open.
Mr.. Frank j. Wilder, antiquarian and
old book dealer of Boston, considers this
one of the most valuable histories he has
seen in late years in any library special
izing these matters.

THE DEVILS TOWER

THIS peculiar freak of nature
L which has become one of Uncle
Sans National Monuments, is located
near Sundance in northeastern Wyo-
ming. It is a gigantic rock, 600 feet
high, probably 60 feet in diameter at
the top and mile around at the
base Rising sheer from the level
plain, it is visible in some directions
for almost hundred miles.
Undoubtedly this tower was useful
to primitive races as well as to early
pioneers as landmark. IT'S thought
that during the subsequent Indian
wars members Of the Sioux and Grow
tribes directed their marches by the
aid of fires and other signals flashed
from this ever-visible tower
AS one approaches this monstrous
rock, his amazement and awe in
creases, because it seems Incredible
that any force of Nature could have
carved this solitary monument.
To climb to the top would seem an
impossibility, yet it is said that a
number of years ago a man and q
womap accomplished this feat sue
cessfully.
Now that the war is behind us and
Uncle Sam has more time to devote
to home matters, it seems not unlikely
that he may deem it advisable to
send an expedition to the top of his
new possession and cause a series of
stairways to be constructed for the
accommodation and convenience of
venturesome tourists bent on getting
acquainted with their own country.

THE THOUSAND ISLANDS
g, Western NeWsnaner IInion

THE River st. Lawrence CAS- grand
L as the Rhine, was discovered by
French explorer in 1885. In 1915,
Champlain explored the upper reaches
OF this majestic stream and discovered
these islands.
The origin of the name is evident
to the behoder. Below Lake Ontario
for distance of some forty miles the
river broadenS to a width ranging
from four to seven miles. Here begins
this World-famous archipelago. These
islands-sometimes in a string like
links in a chain-again in just pell-
nell confusion, appear to block the
channel. Apparently there are a
thousand of them. Some authorities
assert there are as many as 1900
Composed mainly of rock or granite,
their surfaces are not high. Some
are no larger than to provide foun,
dation for house-the largest con-
tains about 10000 acres. Many are
privately owned and here man and
his money have created castles which
look as wondrous as fairy tales sound.
The Thousand Islands were the
scene of some hot conflicts between
nations-Indian wars [when this
region was known as Manatoana-Gar-
den of the Great Spirit), contests be-
tween the French and the English
and battles of Revolutionary fame.
To this generation, however, they
are more prominently known for their
singularly- picturesque beauty and I'M
questioned charm.

GAME FISH SWIM UP STREAM.

It's easy to drift as the current flows;
It's easy to move as the deep tide goes;
But the answer comes when the break
ers crash
And strike the soul with bitter lash
When the goal ahead is endless fight
Through a sunless day and a starless
night,
When the far call breaks on the sleeper's
dream,
''Only the game fish swims up stream"
When the clouds bank in-and the soul
turns blue
When Fate holds fast, and you can't
break through
When trouble sweeps like tidal wave,
And Hope is ghost by an open grave,
GU have reached the test in frame of
mind
Where only the cutters fall behind,
Where the far call breaks on the Sleep
er's dream,
"Only the game fish swims up stream"
