Talking Too Much.
New York MaiD.

1t is a brutal fact that, barring the
domain of the penal code. men suffer
more for what they say than for what
they do. a foolish speech or IL witless
interview will tell against a man more
than mistaken vote or shortsighted
act Many promising career has been
blighted by the gratuitous word.
This looks like injustice. but is SIM
ply the penalty of forfeiting a forbear-
ing presumption. Men give each other
credit for a certain measure of inteli-
gence. sagacity and sense of humor.
and the measure is high. BY sort of
gentlemen's agreement, the human
animal is supposed to have somewhat
shorter ears than he really possesses.
In silence he has advantage of this
golden presumption. He loses caste by
The spoken word. He hurts the pride
all men feel in their own repute Of
wisdom.
There are times when 4 man is not
forgiven even if his vociferations are
a natural and very human retort
against mass Of injurious criticism.
1t is held that he takes himself too
seriously and that man OF mettle
would recognize that the attacks upon
him We're meant in the Pickwickian
sense. or were intended for his own
welfare. Every public man must sub
nit with a good grace to a degree of
hazing. Like the student In the fresh
water colleges, he is expected to keep
quiet ard take his medicine.
Even if man talks invariably good
sense he must not always be attacking
e. In r., Ia,
by simply having too much to say.
The over-articulate citizen offends
against a democratic prejudice. He is
u monoroIist; his offensive assumption
is that the worst of his Offering is bet
. ter than the best of the men whom his
!oquacity reduces to silence. The pub

Chief Justice Wiswell.

The news of the sudden death of
Chief Justice Wiswell in Boston yes
terday was a great shock to the people
of Maine, and from all sides comes the
expression of deep sorrow with loving
tributes to the memory of the dea j
jurist Only few days ago, appar-
entity in full strength and health. he
participated in the exercises of laying
the corner stone of the new Cumber-
land county courthouse, and in few
DAYS more he would have been named
by Governor Cobb for a third term of
seven years as a member of our high
est court But death has suddenly
stepped in to end all earthly activities
and to demonstrate the futility of flu
ture plans.
Chief Justice Wiswell was a worthy
successor of the distinguished line of
strong and noble men who have pre-
sided over the supreme court of Maine.
He was learned in the law and pos
sessed to an eminent degree the judi
cial temperament His decisions have
added to the high reputation which
Maine courts enjoy throughout the
country, just as his personality and
character have added to the respect in
(which our supreme court is held by al
those who have dealings with it. He
was man of culture. and broad sym.
pathies. and by much reading and wide
travel had acquired a fund Of informa
