THE ANSWER TO SWEDEN.
From the Syracuse Herald.

From the Syracuse Herald
In total vote of 320 900 in Norway only
161 were cast against secession from Sweden.
The returns sound like an echo of the
Roosevelt-Parker election.
From the Charleston News and Courier
The Norway election turned out very
much as though they had a tissue ballot
system over there-the result was 1000 10
in favor of dissolution.
From the Council Bluffs Nonpareil.
The SeceSsionistS carried Norway some
thing after the manner in which the demo-
Gratis carry Mississippi.
From the Atlanta Journal

prise those of US who have been thinking
all the time that those bonds were broken
some weeks ago.
From the Buffalo Evening News.
Norways vote was 5000 to / for indie
pendence. Always find some mean cuss vot-
ing for himself.
From the Chicago Tribune
Probably the 161 Norwegians who voted
against the separation from Sweden have
friends in both countries.
From the Wilmington (Dei.) News
Norway's complete vote on the question
of independence stands 3dS.2O for separa-
ton from Sweden and only lS4 against IT,
Somebody ought to move to make 1t unani-

Cleveland and Lamont.

The Champaign QllD Gazette Is authority
for the following:
Several newspapers have given credit
recently to Daniel 8. Lamont for originat-
ing the expression. Public Office is public
trust Lamont was formerly private secre-
tary to Grover Cleveland. and as the lam
guage quoted was widely used during Mr..
Cieveland's first presidential campaign. 1t
was popularity credited to him. But. in
fact. 1t was not original with either OF them.
Some years ago the late Col. John 8. Wolfe
OF Champaign wrote a communication to
the Gazette in which he showed that in a
decision written by Justice Samuel D. Lock-
wood of the Illinois supreme court. prior
to the year 1910. that very expression Is
used. and there 1t seems to have all the
appearances OF originality. Justice Lock-
wood served on the supreme bench of I'LL
nos from January 10. 1925, to December
4. 1913"
This recalls the fact that for a year or
two after Mr.. Cleveland first entered the
White House there were many people who
believed that Col. Lamont was holding the
pen for his chief. and at the same time
supplying him with ideas many subjects.
They reasoned In a simple fashion. Mr..
Cleveland had no reputation as a writer,
while Col. Lamont was known to have
served for some time in New York Journal
ism. So that II anything issued from the
" hite House in the shape either of a letter
a state paper which caught the public
fancy the popular judgment was that Col
Lamont must have written It.
A moments thought and little industry
would have been sufficient to set anybody
right who was curious on the subject. Mr.
Cleveland's style-if style he may be said to
have-shows anything but a newspaper
training. His sentences are too long, and
his words too studied. Crispness and cpl
gram are not at all in his line. Moreover
his messages as mayor of Buffalo to the
town council. written long before he had
ever heard of Col. Lamont, were in the
same form Of expression which as President
of the United States he was now using In
treating OF national affairs.
Mr.. Cleveland was the author Of all the
state papers that stood in his name with
but one exception. 1t is the general belief
that Mr.. Olrey wrote the stirring message
in the Venezuelan case. Mr.. Cleveland Is
not phrase-maker, nor was Col. Lamont.
The latter did not distinguish himself in
journalism, but in politics. where his tact
and suavity, and not his pen, found sway.
AS for the former. he coined the phrase
''innocuous desuetude." which was droll
enough. as used, to amuse the public, and
in his famous tariff message he used the
striking phrase, that sit Is condition, and
not a theory. that confronts u.s." Those
were Mr.. Cleveland's contributions to the
quotable deliverances of his public day. and
they are not claimed by or for anybody else.
