TO TALK OR NOT TO TALK?
IL silence Golden or Il II Foolish
and UnsociaIf

Is the old figure Of golden silence"
being washed away In the food of
twentieth century volubility? And is
II right that II should be so washed
away? We do not know the answers
to these questions. Perhaps you, gen
tie reader, know and will tell We do
know that there Is good deal more
talk In the world than would have been
considered strictly necessary by our
forbears. If you don't believe this, go
TO the nearest library and ask to see
the bound volumes of The COMPRESSION
al Record. You might also take along
a certificate Of sanity In case the libra
rian became alarmed at the request.
The old timers used 10 tell the youth
OF the land TO consider II what they
were about TO say were not only true
and tried" but also necessary" The
idea held for quite a time that IL was
as reprehensible TO waste words as to
dissipate wealth.
Our old friend Montaigne, however,
had a tender place in his heart for the
talker. He declared, THE most nat
ural and fruitful exercise of the mind
is conversation, and find the use of 1t
more sweet than any other action In
life"
In some quarters members OF the fem
mime sex are credited with an lndorse-
ment of Mr.. Montaigne's sentiment.

cial and therefore against civilizations

BRIDGE FIRE AN OBJECT LESSON.

Commenting on the fire that par
italy DESTROYED the new East River
bridge, the New York Herald re-
marks: In this there is a terrible
warning that must not be ignored by
the company that is to operate the
new underground railways. The
burning Of train Of cars in the mar
row tunnel under the city's street OF
beneath the river would inevitably
be attended with frightful loss OF
life. Officials of the company were
yesterday quoted as saying that they
do not intend to provide fireproof cars
but will take precautions by surround
ing the electrical connections with
asbestos coverings.
The public has not forgotten the
loss OF life on an electric railway at
Liverpool last December, when the
explosion Of fuse box set fire to the
train and filled the tunnel with dense
masses of suffooating smoke. That
fatal accident occurred near station.
What would happen if train were
burned beween stations on our sub
way or in the long stretch under the
bed of the East River? Public safe

WHIsKEY A FRAUD.

Postmaster General Payne has is.
sued an order denying the use of the
mails to the Whiskey Tablet Co., OF
Kansas City. The concern advertised
that the tablets when dissolved in
water made q substitute for whiskey.
The head of the postal department
to whom the complaints were made
bought box of the tablets which he
prepared according to directions.
The result was SO unsatisfactory that
thinking he was not sufficiently up
on the whiskey question, the Chief
named an lmpromptn expert commits
sion comprising Kentucky Colonel,
q commercial drummer and a we'll
known bartender to pass on the quality
OF the substitute. The commission s
conclusion was made public nv the
kentuckian who said:
This stuff, sub, is vile, perfectly
vile. 1t bears not the slightest
resemblance to the genuine article,
sub, and the man who sells it for a
substitute should be prosecuted, Wig

members of the commission con-
Cured in the remarks of the chair
man and after their confusion that
the liquor was not alcoholic had been
snbstantiated by expert testimony of a
slightly different kind, the Assistant
Attorney General decided the sale
OF the tablets as whiskey substitute
constituted a fraud.

generally that his nomination was
a foregone conclusion, and made
unanimously amid great enthusiasm.
The sight of Senator Hanna, when
the nomination was announced,

The nomination OF Theodore Roose-
welt was ssalso q tribute to a man
beloved by the people. 1t was hearty,
spontaneous. and like that of the
distinguished nominee for the
presidency was made in response to a
demand of the people.

paign like that of its predecessor,

Every war in our past has made at

FOWLER LEADER OF CURRENCY
REFORM.

Under the caption of national
"gain" the New York Commercial
Advertiser comments on Congressman
Fowler's reelection as follows +:
Wholly apart from the general
issues involved in the congl ossional
elections. and from whatever purely
local questions may have entered in
to the contest in the Fifth district of
New Jersey, the return of Represen-
tative Charles N. Fowler to the
Fifty-eighth Congress from that dis
trict is in large sense a national
victory; and as such the entire coun-
ry-especially It's business interests
lis to be most heartily congl atulated
on this result.
Albeit comparisons are odious, it
may fairly be said that there is hard
ly man in the whole long list of
three hundred and eighty-s six repre-
sentatives chosen last Tuesday whose
talents will be more in requisition in
the new Congress or whose services
will be more needed than those Of
Mr.. Fowler. He bears just at present
this particular relation to the Fifty
eighth House and to the countI y at
large-that he has SO far mastered
all the problems involved in remodel
ling our monetary system, and the
business public is 80 insistent ON that
SYSTEMS carly improvement, that
this New Jersey bankers services are
in a large measure indispensable in
framing the legislation that is nec-
essary. His defeat would have been
distinct loss to the country. It
would at the very outset have made
necessary the selection of some other
member for the chalrmahship of the
Committee on Banking and Currency
-and the change might be OF char
acter to completely annul all the
progress toward monetary reform that
has been made and will be made by
the present House. And even on the
superstition that the very best
selection possible would be made
from the remaining tin ber,' the
great influence of Mr.. Fowler's en-
ergies, activities and enthusiasm
would be lacking.
AS it is, his leadership of the cur
rency reform forces is assured until
March 4, 1905-and it is not a bit
unreasonable to predict that long
before that date a new banking and
currency law will have gone on to
the Federal statute books.

THE WRETcHED SWEARING HABIT.

Significant as it was timely and i'm
pressive was the recent protest of the
Roman Catholics of Brooklyn against
blasphemy. Twenty thousand members
of the Holy Name Society took part in
the demonstration, one feature of which
was mass meetings in the churches, at
which addresses were made by the vicar
general of the Brooklyn diocese and other
clergymen, dwelling upon the evil of
blasphemy and the need of higher feel
ing Of reverence for divine things. 1t is
a deplorable fact that the silly and
vicious practice of using profane langu-
age of the worst sort on any and all
occasions seems to be on the increase
among men OF all ages and classes, and
particularly among young boys. 1t is
only necessary to listen for few NOM
ents to the casual conversation of boys
and young men who congregate on the
street corners and other public places, to
be aware of this. The practice is not
only silly but vicious and degrading to
the last degree, and parents, religious
leaders and teachers and all others who
have oversight and guidance of the
young cannot too strongly reprobate
and discourage the habit No man who
would have the least respect of those
whose respect is worth having will in.
