head and around his neck. and over his
litter he had thin net. with rose
leaves intertwined; Antiochus luxuri-
nted upon bed of blooms even in win
ter days and nights, and when Cleo
patra entertained Antony she had roses
covering the floor to the depth. 1t is

The conscience of New England has awakened
Senator George Frisbie Hoar the seior senator tom
Massachusetts introduced resolution in the senate
on Tuesday which calls for the appointment of a SEN

HOUSTON, TEXAS, FRIDAY, JANUARY
CONCERNING oRAroRY.

The statement is very frequently made nowadays
that the art of oratory has declined. The age has
grown more practical it is said, and demands facts
not figures Of speech 1t insists on facts as pure gold
and the words Of the siverongued orator are regard
ed as Of an inferior metal and of a lesser value
Says writer in a recent article In Harper's Week
y; But the fundamental question is whether the very
art OF the orator is not deemed prejudcia to his cause
now and whether the spirit of rauonaIsm abroad
does not demand from orator and Journalist alike
clear statement OF the facts and nothing more the
conclusions to be drawn therefrom being best deducd
by each student OF the facts so seltconhdent ls the
intelligent citizen Of the modern democracy
Colonel Thomas Wentworth Higglnsou, an accom-
plished critic seems to think that the art Of printing
is the bottom reason for the decline Of oratory Since
the art Of printing came in says Colonel Hggmson
