VAST MAJORITY
AND CAPABLE FEW
Professor Vincent Addresses a
Large Audience on
Democracy"
DECLARES millennium
Is NOT EVEN IN SIGHT
Plato's Republic Not Attain
able, But Each Step
is a Gain.

Prof. George Edgar Vincent, Phi. D.,
of Chicago, addressed a large au-
dience in College street hall last night
on the subject Democracy, Cynicism
or Faith" Prof Vincent is one of
the most entertaining speakers who
has addressed those who are taking
the public lecture course for long
time, and last night kept his audience
in the best Of humor for an hour
He treated democracy from the
standpoint of the aristocrat and from
the standpoint of the democrat and
pointed out where each of the ideas
fall short. Among the people who look
at democracy in cynical light, he
said are professors, doctors, lawyers,
capitalists and others
On the other hand he said the
democrats say that the final judg-
ment must rest with the large number
rather than with the few This has
always been the belief, but the belief
has not been given a chance to prove
itself until lately
Our forefathers said Prof Vincent,
did not believe In this, however much
they intended others to think they did.
The constitution shows this. The fav-
ored few ruled until the time Of An
drew Jackson, when the pioneers, the
frontiersmen, wrenched the rule from
the favored few and put 1t in the
hands Of the people.
The favored few say that there is
but small percentage Of people who
are capable of accomplishing much,
and that as such they must control
the others. They say that they have
been in control since the country
started and that the control might just
as we'll be recognized. This idea has
reached the universities-of course
not here-for you have the Yale de-
mocracy, but 1t is generally spread
abroad. The favored few say in re-
gard to democracy: Shall we keep this
dear old idealism; this iridesceni
dream?
This class says the people pass laws

Gu1LFoRD STATION BURNED
Old Railroad Structure Destroyed
Yesterday Afternoon.
(special to Journal-Courier.) J

Guilford, Nov 2O.-The Guilford sta
tion at Guilford on the N. Y, N. H &
Fl. r. r. was completely gutted by fire
late yesterday afternoon. 1t is sup
posed that spark from a passing en-
gine fell on the roof. The fire had
gained considerable headway before it
was discovered, and when the towns
fire brigade appeared on the scene, the
flames had worked their way into the
interior of the building, and was be-
yond the saving exertions of the fire
laddies. All of the valuables and books,
it is believed were saved before the
fire reached the interior of the build
ing. The station burned was an old
wooden land mark, and is the original
one that was built when the old Shore
line first made Guilford a stopping
place, The building being very old the
damage is estimated to be small.

WATER FROM SAND DUNES.
Source of Part of the Netherlands
Drinking Supply.

The supply of water for Amsterdam
and The Hague is collected from sand
dunes bordering on the sea. In the
dunes near Harlem, where they have
a width of nearly two and half miles.
the SUBMITS are 20 TO % feet above
the sea level. The quantity Of rain
water percolating 10 the ground-water
streams is estimated at 1.19 inches

which are never excavated below sea
level. For The Hague it is collected
in stoneware pipes in bed of shells
laid at a depth Of Is feet below sea
level Harlem is beginning TO build
wells so to 60 feet below sea level to
collect water. AS fresh water is found
at such depth under the dunes. while
the water at the same depth in the
immediate neighborhood is salt, it is
thought that the hydraulic pressure Of
the dune water prevents sea impreg-
nation. The water contains much iron
in solution and for this reason, as well
as for other reasons, is filtered at the
three places mentioned before being
pumped into the mains When the
water is collected in wells or pipes
It must be aerated before being fl

Milwaukee, Wis, Dec. 3o.-The eyes
of the pugilistic world are conferred
on Milwaukee. Fight fans all over the
country are awaiting the result Of the
battle between Hugo Kelly and Billy

Schlitz park tonight. Milwaukee has
had fights and fghts-some good. some
bad, some indiferent-bu never any
that attracted half the attention drawn
by tonights affair.
The battle win not decide the worlds
m!ddleweight championship but it Will
do more toward solving that problem
than any fight that has taken place
in the last two years. Whoever wins
will be closer to the top Of the middle
weight heap than any fighter in the
country. Tommy Ryan is said 10 have
outgrown his usefulness in the ring,
but denies it, and Jack (@Twin'D SuNi-
van has grown too heavy, leaving KEEL
ly, Papke and Ketchell in the running.
Either Papke or Kelly probably Will
be eliminated tonight leaving the
championship question to be settled by
Ketchen and the winner That is why
the fight is attracting so much atten-
ton and why crowds from Illinois and
Wisconsin towns are hocking here.
Critics are divided in their opinion
as to the outcome of the fight. \

cIeverness and experience. They fig
ure Papke is too young and too crude
to get in any effective blows on SO

there are others just as well qualified

MOTTO WINS FORTUNE
"This is Worth $1,000"
Reads Coin Collector on
Old Piece.

Worcester. Mass, Dec. 30.-Edwin w.
Bond is 1898 richer today than he
thought he was yesterday. Bond had
a collection of old coins about the
house and thought the best way to raise
a little holiday change would be to
realize on the discarded money, so he
sought out an exchange for the pur-
pose.
Many Of the coins OF long ago were
worth but little more than their face
value. and a few even less. Finally he
dug up a silver dollar made in 1904,
it. and then handed it back, answering
Bonds query as to whether it was good
enough by saying:
oh, yes, 1t is good enough. only we
haven't money enough in the place TO
buy it. as it worth $1,000"
Bond took the coin home. as he has
learned that he can realize at least
81 600 on 1T. as there are but four other
genuine 1904 dollars in the world.
Bond when seen at his home last
night, said:
I was totally unaware OF the value
OF the old 1904 dollar until Joseph G.
Williams. an authority on coins, told
me when I went into his place 10 dis
pose Of my collection Of old coins.
When searching through some OF
my fathers effects several years ago !
came across it, as bright and shiny as
it came from the mint, I put it into my
miscellaneous collection. and there il
has remained for years. Mr.. Williams
tells me I may get $1,000 for IS, and !
will try TO do So"

Charles Dnlingham's admirable COM
pany, proved the fourth consecutive
success in which these clever comic
opera builders have collaborated The
field of action OF The Red Mill is
laid in Holland. The first scene. an
exterior, shows the red mill Of the
story at the edge of the little village in
Holland. The second scene, an interior,
gives US a look at the home of a we'll

the story are Hollanders, with the ex-
ception of two heroes who are New
Workers and are stranded in the low
lands. Their adventures make up the
main complications Of the piece. in

The story IS simple: Con Kidder and
Kid Common are two Americans stranded

and are in debt for a weeks board.
They are about to make their escape
