Gifted ora,or-witty and Humorous.

Gifted Orator-W-itty and Humorous.
Dr. Driver is peculiarly adapted for
this line Of work. He possesses an ex-
ceptionally fine physique, and face
which attracts one as belonging to a
man of rare mental power. Years of
fruitful travel and a close study of the
history of all lands in all ages have
made him especially fitted to render
discourse on the great subjects which
effect the destiny Of parts OF the whole
of the human race In his lecture here
he showed all the powers of a gifted
orator-great wholesome thoughts, a
pleasing delivery and the power, SEEM
ingly, TO carry the emotions of his
auditors wherever he would. AT times
he was exceedingly witty and humor-
Gus, but every word he uttered had
some place in the construction of the
great thoughts which even humor could
not keep from filling tvery crack and
crevice in the massive structure of fact
and prediction the orator reared. In
an inimitable manner he told of the on
ward march of the Anglo-Saxon and the
characteristics that have marked him
through all his history.-Appleton,

no inkling Of what he wrote. II can

Quite correct
Robert Robinson-down here in front
asks if certain stock will go up Oh
down." He has been listed to her as a
Wall street broker, and she takes the
chance of his question bearing on his
business; but she won't risk being ex-
plicit, for she only knows that he wrote
something or other. Yes, Mr.. Robin
son, that stock will so up or down."
So she rattles on until her memoran-
da is exhausted, emphasizing her hits,
slurring over her misses and climaxing
the act by some taking with confed-
erates-such, for instance, as pointing
to young fellow who sits in a con-
spicuous box with a girl

she says.

And your question was whether
you'd better go back to your divorced
wife or take a brand new bride. Well
the answer sits beside you"
The young man slumps down in his
seat in a feigned funk, the girl bashruI-
ly holds a fan before her face, the
audience laughingly wonders whether
she is the divorce or the new sweet
heart, and Mrs. Fay, rising from her

trance, is led off the stage by her
husband

HOURS OF RAiLROADERs.

Senator LaFollette grew very sar-
castle the other day over the senate's
refusal to displace other business for
the purpose OF taking up his measure
under which the continuous hours of
employment of railroad men engaged
in the operation of trains would be linn
tied TO 16. The senate seemed to be
under the impression, properly enough
that this is a matter the railroads can
be depended upon to take care of them
selves. 1t is certain that practically no
railroad employees who have any re-
sponsibility whatever in the operation
of trains average sixteen hours a day.
The railroads as rule are just as
deeply interested in making travel safe
as TIE public can be. Nothing Is so
calculated to injure the earning power
of railroad as wreck or series
of wrecks involving loss of life or Sc
rious injury to travellers. To reduce
the number of wrecks. to make them
as nearly impossible as is humanity
dreds of thousands of dollars a year,
for they realize that the road having
the fewest accidents is, other things be-
ing approximately equal, the road the
public is going to patronize in both pas
senger and freight departments.
1t is quite true that disastrous wrecks
are often traced to employees who have
been overworked but it is not often
that their employers overwoFk them
Nobody better appreciates the value of
steady nerves and clear brains than the
railroad superintendent. Nobody knows
better than he that a reasonable
amount of rest is necessary to insure
these important qualifications. And in
no business is the private character of
employees, as regards regularity of
living, hours of sleep. abstinence from
intoxicants and the like more closely
inquired into. The railroad man who
takes a single drink of anything intox-
icating either on duty or off invites
immediate discharge.
The railroad superintendent do this
as much in the interest of their roads
as of the public, because, from the
coolest business standpoint they must.
They cannot afford to have wrecks,
and the surest way to avoid wrecks is
to take the best possible care of en-
plOyes who handle trains. 1t is not
necessary to enact any national legisla-
ton on the subject in the first place,
and in the second place 1t is very much
to be doubted If such a law would
stand the test of constitutionality.
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1906-07-01

originated with Mr. Bryan himself. In
the effort to secure rate legislation.
the measure could not have been taken
out of committee without help from the
Democratic members of the commit
tee; and the bill as reported was in
charge of Tillman. a Democratic sena-
tor. Throughout the session, with one
notable exception, the presidential pro-
pended upon Democratic votes to carry
it. The one exception was the state
hood bill on which the president was
deservedly defeated in an effort TO
force Arizona and New Mexico to ac-
cept joint statehood. There the de-
parture from Democratic principles and
traditions was met with a force that
could not be gainsaid and the presi-
dent was compelled to accept a COM
promise permitting the people of the
territories to pronounce their own judg-
ment on the proposal.
Taking the session. it's accomplish
ments and its omissions. the Demo-
cratic party is distinctly the gamer.
1T aided in the legislation that was
