DEMOCRATIC CAMPAIGN CHIEF
Norman 13. Mack of Buffalo , recently selected
ns chairman of the Democratic national commit
tee , occupies a most unique position. He vns
practically the only Bryan Democrat In the dele
gation fiom his rtnto to the Denver convention.
It is ulno noteworthy If ono ircollects that In
each of the previous two Bryan campaigns for
the presidency Mr. Mack flocked by himself aa
a Bryan man. The first tlmo It happened Mr.
Mack started out with the antls , and that lined
him ui ) with such men as David B. Hill , William
(3. Whitney , Bourke Cockran , the late Gov.
"Billy" Ilussell of Massachusetts , W. F. Vllns
of Wisconsin and men like that. Rather than
not be "regular , " however , ho accepted the
dictum of his parly convention nnd made the
best of it. Ho was with Bryan thioughout the
campaign and ever theieafter. It was chiefly ns a result of his loyalty to Bry
an that ho was honored with his present office.
Five or six jenrs ago Mack came out with a terrifying warning to his
fellow Democrats In states that were not holding fast to the true Bryan faith
in their vaiious state platforms. He declared that unless they stuck by the
platform and the Ideals of the Brynnlzed Democracy he saw nn awful smashup
coming Just down the road a way. There would bo a third party , headed
by Bryan , George Fred Williams , Tlllman , Towno nnd others , und they would
write "passe" on the good old Democracy and send It to the scrap heap. This
awful warning was Intended to drive David Bennett Hill , Belmont , Tnggurt
and other Democrats of alleged Republican tendencies hurrying to the woods
to avert the simoon.
This year Mack was one of the curly birds of the Bryan movement In the
Democracy. While IIB ! fellow Now Yorkers were scoffing or uttering shrill
shrieks of terror over the prospect of another Bryan nomination , Norman was
on the Job with n W. .1. B. streamer on his hat. As a result , while the
rest of New York went with the nntls with a wild whoop , Mack succeeded in
saving himself solid to Bryan without losing a man.
In Buffalo Mr. Mack la recognizedas a power , politically and otherwise.
He owns a dally newspaper , the Times , and ho has other business Interests
which have helped to make him a very comfortable fortune.
WILL HELP TO GATHER COIN
Fred W. Upham of Chicago has been named
as assistant treasurer of the Republican national
committee and given full power and authority
to go out into the highways and byways as well
as into the humming marts of trade as an of
ficial beggar. There Is no question but this
gives Mr. Upham one of the biggest begging
commissions In the books , nnd neither Is there
much doubt that the G. O. P. bogging will be
thoroughly and painstakingly done.
Mr. Upham will pay attention particularly
to the western portion of the country , nnd will
have his headquarters In Chicago. His position
will bo only nominally second to that of George
R. Sheldon , the New York financier , who is
treasurer of the committee. Sheldon will con
fine his coin-lifting operations to the east , where
his Intimate relations with most of the big financiers ana business men win
make it easy for him to cosx the needed sinews from their wallets. In the
west Upham will do much more effective work than could Sheldon , on account
of the rumors connecting the latter with one or two dozen trusts beneficent ,
of course In which he is an officer.
Upham Is a real business man and the head of an Important lumber manu
facturing firm in the central metropolis. Ho is also Interested In the coal busi
ness and in several other concerns of varied character.
Personally , Upham Is what is generally termed a "hustler. " Incidentally ,
but in no wise contradictory , ho Is a good deal of a club man and belongs tea
a long-string of social and patriotic organizations. Ho is 47 years old and
began his political career in Chicago as an alderman ten years ago. Ho has
been holding some sort of nn official position in that city ever since and has
made nil excellent record.
PANAMA'S NEW PRESIDENT
Domingo Obaldla , who has succeeded Dr. Ama-
dor ns president' the republic of Panama , was
born about 64 years ago in David , a town on the
isthmus , and is still a man of active physique
and vigorous Intellectual powers. Since the cre
ation of the republic In 1903 hla career has been
a most eventful one. He served as senator In
the Colombian congress , nnd on September 20 ,
1903 , took over the functions of governor of
Panama. Two months later , when the uprising
occurred , Senor Obaldla was arrested and held
a prisoner In the house of Dr. Amador , who af
terward became president. On the senator tak
ing the oath of allegiance to the new republic
he was released. Ills appointment as minister
to the United States followed.
Senator Obaldla led the conservative party In
Panama , but alco showed reform tendencies , while minister to the United
States ho was a follower of President Amador , and was elected vice-president
of the republic. It was during Amador's recent absence in Europe that , while
acting as president , Obaldla discovered a system of graft which permeated
the entire administration , lie nt once introduced drantlc reforms , but they
were all nullified on Amador's return to Panama. And since nearly u fortnight
ago It has requited the powerful influence of the United States government
lo protect him from unfair methods.
Senora Dona Josefa Jovano do Obaldla , wife of the now president , Is a
charming woman , and belongs to an old and well known Panama family. She
speaks French in addition .o her native Spanish , but has not yet acquired
English. With her two sons she accompanied Senor Obaldla to Washington
and lived there until her husband's return to Panama.
GOES ON RETIRED LJST 1
Real Admiral Hlchardson Clover , president of
the naval board of Inspection and ourvey , has
been placed In the retired list on account of pgo.
Ho was horn in Hagcrstown , Md. , Just C2
years ago , and was graduated from the United
States Navai academy In 18C7. Ho has had a
long and creditable career In all branches of the
naval establishment , including the coast burvoy ,
in southeastern Alaska.
From 1889 to 1893 ho was hydrographor in
the bureau of navigation , and from 1897 to 1898
he hold the responsible position of chief of the
office of naval intelligence. In the early part
of the Spanish war ho was a member of the
war and strategy board until May 1 , 1898 , when
ho was placed in command of the United States
ship Bancroft.
Ho afterward resumed charge or tno omce or naval intelligence until 1900 ,
when ho was assigned to duty as naval attache at the United States ombassay
at London , where he remained for three years. He was then placed in com
maud of the battleship Wlticonsln on the Asiatic station , and brought that
vessel homo to tha United States.
For the past three years he has been president of the board of Inspection
And survey engaged in the trial of waibhlpu constructed since that date.
In May , 1880 , while holding the rank of lieutenant , ho was married to Mies
Mary E. Miller , daughter of the late Senator John F. Miller of California.
Ho Is a member of the Metropolitan , Country and Chevy Chase clubs of
Washington , and of the New York Yacht club and of the University club ol
Now York.
Vnclo Sam Is dohu ; his fiest at the
dissemination of literature. Ho ia at
the head of a mighty international
book exchange which annually luuullos
about 200,000 packages of books ag
gicgatlng half a million pounds In
weight , and which are distributed to
all parts of the globo. It la the gov
ernment's clearing house for ofllclal
and Bctcntillc literature , and IB known
i\a the International exchange system
or the Smithsonian exchanges.
Most of the shipments niiulo contain
full sets of United States government
documents for authorized depositories ,
and the balance consist of depart
mental and other publications for
miscellaneous correspondents. The
lists of Smithsonian exchange corre
spondents include about GO.OOO sepa
rate addresses.
These llgurus furnish some idea , of
the largo scope of operation of a sys
tem which , outsldo the scientific and
academic world , is not generally
known. Dr. Cyrus Adlcr , assistant
secretary of the Smithsonian Institu
tion , In charge of tha library and exchanges -
changes , explained recently the pur
pose and work of this inlurnuUoual lit
erary clearing house.
"Tho exchange service , " ho said , "Is
almost ns old ns the Institution itself.
It was originally designed for the pur
pose of exchanging Smithsonian pub
lications for those of other learned so
cieties and faculties. Through the ac
tion of congress and through a treaty
negotiated with various foreign coun
tries , to which many nations have
since adhered , It has become an im
portant international agency for the
exchange of governmental , scientific
and literary publications. It IB devised
to benefit the institutions In this conn-
try and abroad , serving as ono of the
most Important mennu for carrying
out the fundamental purpose of the In
stitution , 'tho Increase and diffusion of
knowledge among men. '
"It is through this system that the
original documents , reports of scien
tific experiments , official transactions
of societies , governmental publications
and llku productions are sent to the li
braries and kindred Institutions of the
world , at a great saving of labor and
expense. Instead of each society , as
sociation or academy sending docu
ments to a thousand others , a constant
circulation Is maintained through the
medium of the Smithsonian Institu
tion.
"Tho operation of an official ex
change bureau of this sort gains tno
benefits of centralized effort. When
boxes and packages are properly
stamped by the Smithsonian Institu
tion and marked 'International Ex
changes , ' customs inspection IH
waived. For a long tlmo many steam
ship lines wont so far us to provide
fieo transportation on all packages
of Smithsonian exchanges. Further
privileges , such as the waiving of cer
tain consular fees on bills of lading
are enjoyed by the exchange system ,
making It altogether of great service
not only to the government which sup-
poits it , but to its citizens as well.
The government appropriation avail
able for this service during the pres
ent year is $ ! J2,000. "
The Idea of an International liter
ary exchange system Is not now. It
was llrst permanently established 70
> cars ago by 11. Alexandro Vattemaro
of Paris. AH early us 1091 , how
ever , the royal library of France ,
authorized by King Louis XIV. , con
ducted an International exchange ) for
several years , and the American Phil
osophlcal society ( founded In 17111) )
and the American Academy of Arts
and Sclencea ( founded in 1780) ) ,
at the beginning of the nineteenth cen
tury , traded their proceedings and
transactions for those of foreign scion-
tic societies. Mr. Vattemave's ef
forts began In 1832 , when he succeed
ed In interesting many learned men of
Europe In his plans. In 1893 ho visit
ed the United States and obtained the
Indorsement of many leading Ameri
cans , among them Washington Irving ,
Joel II. Polnsolt , then secretary of
war ; Gullan C. Vorplanck , and also
the govermnenls of a number of cities.
On his second visit to this country he
was designated as the agent of the Li
brary of Congress to conduct the ex
change system established between
Franco and the United States.
The National Institute of this coun
try in 1840 set up a similar interna
tional exchange of natural history
specimens. Although the Smithsonian
exchange system had no direct con
nection with those established be
tween national governments by M.
Vattemaro , It soon superseded nil oth
er plans for International exchanges
The Institution was founded in 184U
"for the Increase and diffusion or
knowledge among men. " To furtlu i
the second turm of this bequest. ! ! )
first volume of tl.o Smithsonian jju ,
IcntloiiB. on the ancient monuments
of the Mlsslflslppl valley , by Srjulor
and Davis , was lEouml In ISIS , and
llHtrlbutod In this country and abroad.
The germs of the present exchange
system are evident In the words of the
llrst secretary , Joseph Henry , who
wrote as early an 18H2 :
"Tho worth and Importance of the
tifltltulion are not to bo estimated by
what It accumulates within the walls
- > f Its building , but by what it sends
forth to the world. Its great mission
B to facilitate the use of nil the ln\-
ilonicnta ol research , and to diffuse
knowledge , which this use may de
velop. The Smithsonian publications
ire sent to some Institutions abroad ,
mil to the great majority of those
it-homo , without any return receipt ,
save In Homo cases that of cooperation
tion In meteorological and other ob
servations. "
As now conducted , the rules for the
control of the exchange service pro-
Ido in addition to the distribution of
ho United States government publica
tions to foreign libraries , for the dis
tribution abroad of books , pamphlets ,
charts and ulhur printed matter sent
is gifts or exchanges from literary and
scientific societies or Individuals to
correspondents abroad , without ox-
jonso to the sender beyond that of do-
Ivory to the Smithsonian Institution
n Washington. No charge Is made
to the receiver except In some In-
tancos the cost of delivery from the
Smithsonian agent or correspondent
neatest to him. Similar material sent
from abroad to this country Is for
warded to the recipient without ex
pense to him , the packages having
been delivered free of freight charges
lo the foreign agent or correspondent
of the Institution.
The International exchange scrvlco
lias now grown to huge proportions.
Three paid agencies abroad are main
tained In London , In Lclpslc and In
Budapest. The shipments sent abroad
by the Smithsonian exchange service
Include practically every organized
community in the world , from Ireland
to South Africa. They are made In
uniform packages or boxes , and ship
ments to smaller communities are sent
whenever enough material has accu
mulated to warrant Its transmission.
To larger agencies the service Is
weekly. To Franco , In 1907 , went 153
boxes and 12.0C1 packages ; to Great
Britain and Ireland , 308 boxes and 20-
213 packages , and similar amounts to
other largo agencies , supplying In all
nearly 60,000 correspondents. In re
turn Franco sent 1,087 packages of
books , Great Britain and Ireland 7.-
937 , British America 309 , and so on.
It may bo Been from the larger fig
ures on the shipment side that the
United States government Is more
generous than any other nation In the
matter of publishing and giving away
literature of a scientific and an educa
tional nature.
The exchange service Is limited to
voluntary contrlbutloiiH from lecog-
nlzed societies , institutions or facul
ties. The United States does not un
dertake to Hhlp free of charge books
purchased In different countries , nor
scientific apparatus nor Instruments.
The exchanges are still admlnlsteiod
for the same purpose as at their begin
ning , "for the diffusion of knowledge
among men. "
Dorics In School of Sharks.
Ships coming to port from No Man's
Land bring reports of school of raven-
OUH sharks that Infest the ocean ndja
cent to Marthas Vineyard.
Members of the crew of the fishing
schooner Prlscllla , Capt. Fred Do
Wolf , declare that fishermen in the
Prlficllla's doiles icconlly had a bat
tle with a school of sharks that tried
to overturn the boats.
A critical moment came when the
sharks rushed on the dories from
several ways at once. The boats were
kept upright with great dlfllculty.
Some of the sharks leaped from the
water aa If to view what was In the
boats. In the rush throe of the big
gcst sharks became engaged in a bat
tie among themselves , an opportunity
which the fishermen took to row has
lily to the schooner. Ono of the sharks
It Is said , was more than 15 feet
long. Boston Herald.
Buildings In Large Cities.
The total cost of the buildings erected
od In the principal cities of the United
States In 1907 was ? CG1,07G,2SC. a net
decrease of ? 17G34,083 from the fig
urea of 1906 , but an Increase over

National Lend Company , the larg

being done to both property ownora
and honest paint manufacturers , sot
about to mnko paint buying safe.
They first adopted n trade mark , the
now famous "Dutch-Boy Painter , " and
put this trademark , an n guaranty of
purity , on every package of their
Whlto Lead. They then sot about
familiarizing the public with the
blo-v-plpo test by which the purity
and tfMiulnouoss of Whlto Lend may
