FOLK AND PLAGIARISM

Gov. Folk, of Missouri iu bis quiet, unosteutiocs way, recently rapped some of those smart critics who seek to ex- plois their learning by proclaiuing everything good that has been said by a writer or in a speech ss theft from someone who has gone before. Gov, Folk made a speech at the funeral of 8 guard of the state penitentiary who was killed while attempting to prevent 8 iail-breaA. Book worms accused him of plagiarism because some of the thoughts he expressed were similar to some of those expressed by William J. Bryan, when, as a member of congress. he spoke to the eulogistic resolutions of 8 tellow-member. Mir. Folk prompt ly informed his critics, when question ed, that the thoughts, and some of the words he had used, more nearly re- sembled those of Robert c. Ingersoll on another occasion. He offered DO de- fsnse for having used them, beyond the natural one that the sentiments wer5 those which he felt. They had occurred to him, he said, on many similar occa- Sions, and were appropriate to this one. That was all. There was no wordy de- feuse. A mere statement of the facts, but it was enough to bring to him the support of all except the very would-be- wise.
 I. would be almost impossible for an orator or an author to express a senti- ment that has never found expression before in some of the languages of the world, and it would be strange if the words adopted for the expression were not often similar to those that had been previously used. The man or woman who can draw from the great store. house of literature for thoughts, or for words to express thoughts, is fortunate ly equipped and deserving of compli- ments rather than epithets.
 
 Students will recall that nearly every great man of letters, philosophy and el- oquence has been called a p]agiarist, many of the greatest among them, probably, with a degree of truth. Shakspere, Longfellow aud Balzaci Jefferson, Mirabeau and Spencer; Web ster, Gladstone and Gambetta, sll have been reviled by uotoriety-seeking crit ics, 1f unmarked graves, for so-called lit- erary theitS.
