Prof c. C. Langdell, who had the dis
tinction of practically revolutionizing the
method Of teaching law in this country
and of contributing infiuentially to the re-
marlkable development in the last quar-
ter century Of the law school Of Harvard
university, died suddenly at his home in
Cambridge the night Of July 5. He de-
veloped what is known as the case system
or the application Of the principles of
law to actual cases, instead OF teaching
the principles as they had been formulated
in treatises.

Mr.. churohIlI as a Reform candidate.

At least four candidates for the Repub-
lican nomination for governor In New
Hampshire were in the lists before Win
ston Churchill, the author, entered under
the banner of reform as the champion of
the Lincoln club. Mr.. Churchill says that
What the Republican party Of New
Hampshire needs in the coming campaign
is an issue in keeping with that spirit
os civic uplift which the President has
impaired to our time" He suggests that
the general platform should be the nom
interference OF the Boston & Maine rail-
road or any other corporation in the poll
tics and government Of the state"
After asserting that the railroad lobby
controls legislation generally in the state
and picks out and elects men to the
most important Offices, he said that as
long as passes are permitted under the
law no bribery is needed. "Our methods
must not be academic, but dynamic" he
continues, "and 1t must be remembered
that we have behind us the victories of
the people in the other states" In con-
clusion, he says that although he has
never in his life been inside Of a running
race course or laid a wager on a race, he
is a governor OF the Rockingham race
track. and only consented to be one be-
cause gambling was to be tabooed. He
says the prompt repression Of the
attempts OF the boolkmakers indicates
that the law can be enforced, but should
the statutes prove inadequate he would
favor new laws that would make the
prohibition effective

Randolph Herald

"a Political Weathercock," says the
Clement bureau of Fletcher ID. Proctor,
because he appears disposed not to dis
turb the local option law this year, which,
as a prohibitionist, he opposed four
years ago. What kind Of a rooster is
the fellow who mounts a platform that
contains several important planiks directly
opposed to the fresh utterances OF the
candidate, and tries TO square himself
before the public? Mr.. Clement, do you
believe in weekly payments and employ
ers' liability, and II so. what caused your
very recent change OF heart?

A Lyric.

Oh, once I could not understand
The sob within the throat OF SPRING
The shrilling Of the frogs, nor why
The birds so passionately sang.
That was before your beauty came
And stopped to teach my soul desire,
When on these mortal lips you laid
The magic and immortal fire.
I wondered why the sea should seem
So gray, so lonely, and so old;
The sigh OF level-driving SHOWS
In winter so forlornly cold.
I wondered what 1t was could give
The scarlet autumn pomps their pride
And paint with colors not Of earth
The glory Of the mountainside.
could not tell why youth should dream
And worship at the evening star,
And yet must go with eager feet
Where danger and where splendor are.
/ could not guess why men at times,
Beholding beauty, should go mad
With Joy or sorrow or despair
Or some unknown delight they had.
I wondered what they could receive
From Times inexorable hand
So full OF loveliness and doom,
But now. ah, now / understand

The Bourne mills of Fall River, Mass,
which have conducted the profit sharing
system with great success and satisfac-
ton the past IT years, have just declared
the SSd semi-annual dividend of 5 per
cent. on the wages of employees. The
treasurer of the mills, George A. Chase,
sends with this dividend a circular letter
in which he declares that manufacturers
must look to increased production rather
than cheaper labor for their profits.

Hon. Carroll s. Page, Hyde Park, VT,
Dear Governor:-During the many years
of your valuable political and commercial
service to the state of Vermont you have
gathered about you a large number of
personal and political friends. An effort
now seems to be under way to break
down and destroy the Republican party,
in which you have always been a gallant
and aggressive leader. Various rumors
have been circulated as to your attitude
in this campaign.
That personal argument and contro-
versy over the question may be settled
for all time, are you willing to state your
personal attitude in this campaign, for
publication in the Caledonian?
Thanking you for an early reply, am.
Very truly yours,
ARTHUR F. STONE,
Editor OF the Caledonian.

'FlRST-CLASS SHOW
BY THE MINSTRELS.

Gus Suns minstrels last night en-
tirely filled the bill at the Opera
House, attracting a large audience and
pleasing them to the end of the last
number. The performers are of the
better class, their program well select
ed and well rendered, and the features
of the second part above the average
seer here in years. One of the most
amusing numbers, keeping the audi
ence always in good humor, was the
original Gibson girls by Harry Weav-
err and Karl Lambert, and if the occn-
pants of the boxes did not fall in love
with the sweet voiced maidens, it was
no fault of the maidens themselves.
Tilton and Henderson in refined must
cal numbers, Will Kyler on the slack
wire, Delmo in juggling feats and
Weaver and Rose as knock-about Co
medians, pleased from beginning to
end. The first part was well staged
and the number well rendered.
Manager Root says complaint of
cutting the program is To
have rendered all the numbers set
down on the stock program would
have required more hours than the
audience would care to stay to listen.

ON PART
OF THE sTocKMEN.

~ CtNs
The Casper correspondent of the
Denver Republican sends his paper the
following concerning Colonel E. j.
Bells address at the Second annual con-
vention of the Wyoming Wool Growers
association at Casper this week:
"The address of Colonel 3. j. Bell of
Laramie on the railroad question was
an able one and interesting to the
stockmen present. He advocated dip
lomacy on the part of the stockmen;
their getting together with the railroad
people and adjusting their differences
to the satisfaction of both. He claim
ed that what the stockmen needed
more than a reduction in rates was a
faster time schedule, thereby making
a saving to the stockmen in the con-
dition of his produce more than equiva-
lent to the entire freight bill.
There was no hope, he said, of the
stockmen changing the attitude of the
humane society with reference to the
2S-hour law, and he thought it would
be well for them to join the railroads
and work with a committee of the hui
name society, showing them why GER
tain changes must be made in the pres
ent law. not only from the standpoint
of the stockmen, but from a humane
standpoint as well. Representatives
of the leading railroads of the state
were present and promised to give the
stockmen the best service possible"
