Indicate that there will he almout
three times as many as the majority
that chose Senator ForaUor at that
tltno. This can ho considered In no
other light than a personal tribute
to Senator llanmi who Is the ac
knowledged candidate of the republi
cans of Ohio for re-uloplloii. It will
tnko more than a barrel full of dem
ocratic cartoons of the republican
national chairman to discredit that
stupendous showing.
If any man has the right to say
that ho carries the vote of any cor-
tnln district In his vest pocket , thai
man certainly must be Marie llanna
nnd the district ho carries Is jippnr
untly the whole of Ohio. A man
with the popularity ho has been
shown to possess needs only to ask
for what ho wants to get It. The
opinions of thu people regarding
Hark have undergone quite a null
cnl change since he was llrst repre

of the democratic press. The onlj

nominee for the presidency. Th
other Is represented by the uuproco
dented majority of above 125,000 fo
the republican ticket In Ohio whlc
will back President Koosovolt for a
re-election next year. The people o
the country are to make a choice o
which of these forces shall load then
the Tammany of New York or th
republicanism of Ohio. There 1
now hut little question of which fore
would bo chosen at this time. Hn

ono lesson more emphatic than an
other to learn as the result of th
recent election it Is that for them to
endeavor to prejudice the voters h >
rotten Insinuations and campalgi
roorhnchs attacking the principle
of the republican candidate and hi
personality , is an utter failure
They had to head their ticket th
strongest man in the party a gentle
man whoso fitness for the position
whoso personal character and Integ
rlty were never once questioned bj
the republicans ; a man who wa
well thought of by everyone , hut hi
supporters were not satisfied will
this. They must needs apppeal to
the prejudices of the people. The >
must attack the republican candidate
They began with the idle bluste
early in the campaign that what wa
wanted was a non-partisan olectio

In the face of
public sentiment , om
phatlcally expressed , they nuis
needs resort to dirt slinging. Thol
energies wore later exerted to thrus
I i ( ho Diblo in as an Issue , securing
( ho aid of several ministers of th
to make their efforts the more
erlaln. Thou they sought to rake
p Homo old records of Judge Harncs
ti his former homo which were pro-
cuted In a circular , and finally they
iduccd the olllcers of the Antl-Sa-
txMi League to Issue a note of warn-
ig against the republican candidate ,
nil through It all that old favorite
anipulgn slogan of "railroad tool"
allied Its dry bones around seeking
vhom It might Inllucnco. On some
f these matters the republicans as-
unied the defensive , hut not once
urlng the campaign wore they the
ggrossHors In anything calculated to
> w ( > r the fusion candidate In the
stlmatlon of the people. They
vailed their opportunity at the polls
ml their answer to the fusion at-
empts at misleading the public Is
tow registered to the tune of about
0,000 majority for Judge llaruos.

hat the results convey , and perhaps
hey will not. Anyway It Is evident

HISTORY OF THE ANCHOR.
Viirloun liiiiro\i'iii < 'iil * Tltul llnvi-
llcfii .MiniiIn MM Slii ( | > " ' .
The ships' anchors in gpiicrnl mud up
to the beginning of I ho hint century
consisted of a long , round Irnu shank ,
having two coinparatlvply short ,
straight arms or lluUcs , Inrllnrd ( o the
shank at an angle of about It ) dpgives
and moctlng It In a somewhat sharp
point at the crown. In large aiipliorH
the bulky wooden slock was built up
of several pieces , hooped together , the
whole tapering outward to the ends ,
especially on the , ift or cable side.
About Hie beginning of the last cen
tury a clerk In the Plymouth naval
yard , I'erlng by name , suggested cer
tain Improvements , the most Important
of which was making the arms curved
Instead of straight. At llrst sight this
simple change may scorn uf little value ,
lint consideration will show that this Is
not the case. The holding power of an
anchor depends on two principal con
ditions miiiiL'ly , the extent of useful
holding surface and the amount of
vertical penetration. The hitter qual
ity Is necessary on account of the na
ture of ordinary sea bottoms , the sur
face layers of which arc generally less
tenacious and resisting than Is the
ground a short distance below.
In the year ISItl chain cables began
to mipcrscdo the hempen ones. With
the result that the long shanked an
chors hitherto In vogue were no longer
necessary , ami anchors with shorter
shanks nnd with heavier and stronger
crowns gradually came Into use. In
consequence of these changes a com
mission was appointed In the year 18118
to Inquire Into the holding power of an
chors , and a principal result of Its la
bors wan the adoption of the so called
ai'.mlralty pattern anchor , which con
tinued to be used In the navy up to the
year IStiO. The Invention of the steam
hammer In 18IU made the welding of
heavy masses of Iron u coinparatlvply
easy and rellnlilc process , so that from
this time onward the strength of an
chors fully kept pace with that of the
chain cables which had come Into gen
eral use.
A number of patents for anchors
were taken out prior to the great ex
hibition of 1ST)1 , and. public attention
having been called to the models there
shown , In the following year a commit
tee was appointed by the admiralty to
report on the qualifications of anchors
of the various kinds. Practical trials
were then Instituted , nnd as n result
Trotmnn's anchor took the highest
placp , Rodger's anchor being second
on the list. Some of xthe tests to which
the anchors were submitted were of
doubtful value , such , for instance , as
"facility for sweeping , " Nowadays ,
however , nt all events for deep ships
in shallow harbors , It Is considered an
advantage for nn anchor to offer ns lit
tle obstruction ns possible above the
ground. Science Slftlnga.
Cuuae For
Judge Shaw in his latter days wns
reverenced by the people of Mnssn-
chusctts as If he were a demigod , but
in his nntlvo county of Harnstablo ho
was reverenced as a god. One winter
when the supreme court held a special
session at Harnstablo for the trial of n
capital case Judge Merrick , who wns
one of the Judges , caiuo out of the
courthouse just nt nightfall , when the
whole surfnco of the enrth wns cover
ed with Ice and slush , slipped and fell
heavily , breaking three of ids ribs. lie
wns taken up and carried to his room
nt the hotel and lay on a sofa waiting
for the doctor to come. While the
judge lay groaning and In agony the
old Janitor of the courthouse , who hud
helped pick him up , wiped off the wet
from his clothes and said to him ,
"Judge Mprrlck , how thankful you
must be it was not the chief Justice ! "
Poor Merrick could not help laughing ,
though his broken ribs were lacerating
his flesh. George P. Hoar In Scrib-

The Norfolk Daily News.
An Up-toDate Newspaper for
NoriK Nebraska.
Six months ago The News was what
s known In the parlance of the craft
as a strictly local newspaper , with
tut n limited circulation outsldo the
city of Norfolk. While it thoroughly
covered the locnl Hold , it paid little
Utcntlon to telegraphic news nnd
consequently wns not of general In
terest outside of this city. During
tlio past half year The News hns boon
iromotcd to an entirely different class ,
mil the claim Is made good that it is
i newspaper in the strictest sense of
the word. Willie the locnl field is
still thoroughly covered , the specinl
.olegrnphic service which wns Innug-
irnted early In the summer nnd hns
since been augmented by an up-to-
late market report and 'n service by
telephone covering the whole north
ern part of the state , makes It the
paper to bo rolled upon for the very
latest news throughout this part of
Nebraska.
The 0110 o'clock edition which was
inaugurated a i'ow weeks ago , con
tains the morning market reports
from Chicago and South Omaha up
till the hour of going to press. It also
contains all the important news that
Is gathered from north Nebraska
during the morning by wire , a full
associated press report in abbreviated
form covering the night service and
the latest telegraphic matter from all
over the world up till the minute the
forms are locked.
This makes a service for the lines
out of Norfolk with which no news
paper can compete. Norfolk Is the
hub of a geographical wheel. Five
railroads radiate from this center and
on every line is an afternoon train
which carries the first edition of the
paper to its readers. On the same
trains north and west are carried the
morning papers from other cities so
that The News is given an advantage
of about ten hours In telegraph mat-
tor. The man in Bonestccl or In No-
Ugh gets his stock market and grain
reports for today early in the after
noon and is-ablo to ship accordingly.
The morning paper brings him only
yesterday's report And the morning
telegraphic matter is ahead of any
thing that the people east as far as
Fremont , northeast to Sioux City and
south to Columbus are able to get
until the evening papers get to them
afterward.
The flvo o'clock edition Is for the
city circulation nnd for the rural
routes. It contains telegraphic matter -
tor received up till the hour of press
from nil over the world. It Is prac
tically four hours later than any other
evening paper which can roach the
city and it contains the same news ,
largely , which Is published in the
morning editions of outside papers
next day. " /
Another feature of the progress
made is in the circulation among the v
rural route people. Today the farmer '
has as ninny ndvnntngos ns anyone
In the city. Ho hns his telephone , his
daily mall service and all the rest.
Ho can enjoy his dally paper just as
much as his literary brother who hns
lived in town all his llfo and what's
more ho can afford it today where
dozens In town might not.
The result of the development by
The News Is that it has como to bo
recognized everywhere in its territory
as the latest newspaper and'ono ox-
elusive in Its matter. It is read by
everyone of any prominence in all
of the towns that it visits nnd when
once they have rend it they are friends
always because it Is clean , up-to-tho-
minute and reliable.
To the advertisers , on this account ,
the paper Is much more valuable than
It ever could have been boforo. It
covers practically three fields , the
ctly , the rural routes and the outside
towns very thoroughly. Just such an
advertising medium has long been ,
needed by many business houses in
Norfolk nnd the results show that it
Is perfectly practical.

am Immensely pleased , " said Mr.
Nichols , "with the service wo are
now getting in The News : The 1
o'clock edition reaches me at about
2 o'clock and gives all of the tele
graphic news up till that hour. Al
ready the market reports , which are
twenty-four hours later than I can
possibly get In any other paper , have
saved me a good many times. It is
the finest feature in up-to-the-hour
news service that we have ever been
able to get. People all up the line
feel the same way about it , too. "
