Grand Old Man of England Miss
Ulsaker gave an interesting sketch
of the life Of Gladstone, showing his
close connection with the great
events that have taken place on Eng
lish soil
Alvin Hansen, of Yankton college,
South Dakota, spoke next on "The
Tragedy of Lost Childhood which
was a strong plea for the emancipa-
ton of children being engaged in
the labor of this country. He drew
strong picture of the conditions in
the greatest where factories abound
and where children are employed to
the greatest extent. His delivery is
earnest and he spoke with much sin
cerity on his subject.
Don S. Ford, of the University of
North Dakota, Grand Forks, was the
third speaker, and his grafton sub
ject was "The Call of the Central
Empire" Mr.. Ford spoke on the
conditions of the Chinese Empire,
around which he wove a most inter
esting oration. He gave a splendid
description of the country, showing
the heights to which it has grown
from the lowest depths of ignorance
and depravity. Mr. Ford is thorough
ly conversant with conditions in that
country through study, and at the
end of his college career he contem-
plates going to China as a mission
airy. AS an orator Mr.. Ford made a
fine impression and he presented his
subject with a finished effort.
John V. Dobson was the last speak,
Ter on the program. Grating on
Americas Greatest Problem" which
had to do with the slavery question,
and the future development of the
negro after he had been freed from
bondage. Mr.. Dobson held that the
negro must be taught the Industrial
arts and that his teacher must come
from his own race. 1t was splendid
effort of the young man and his de-
livery was of the highest type of ora
tory. He speaks with much dignity,
with a voice that has the ring of
sincerity in it and an easy and COM
manding presence on the platform.
While the officers were footing up
the markings. Misses Anna Quarn-
berg and Emma Rempfer sang a most
beautiful duet of two selections.
The voices of the young ladies were
sweet to hear and they were encored
very heartily. Miss Fannie McCor-
mick played their accompaniment.

there was moment of expectancy.
He announced that third place had
been awarded to Mr.. Hansen, of

PRIckING A BUBBLE

Before the judiciary committee of the Massachusetts legislature last week, when the Berkshire Power Company's case was being considered, one of the speakers for the town of Sheffield was senator Allen T. Treadway of Berkshire. He alleged that at high water two miles of highway are flooded and that half mile is flooded at all times. We have not been able to find, after diligent in- quiry that the facts bear out MT. Tread ways statement. We cannot find that the stretch of highway which is flooded during high water is two miles in extent and further, we cannot find, after dili- gent investigation, inquiry and effort, that there is stretch of highway of a half mile or less in extent that is "fooded at all times" We hardly believe the senator went to Sheffield to obtain personal knowledge of conditions but that his information was obtained from parties who have viewed the situation through glasses that greatly magnify things.

WEST CORNWALL

Postmaster l.. J. Nickerson desires to patrons of rural delivery of placing loose coins ill their boxes each time they desire to despatch letters instead of supplying themselves with postage in advance of their needs. This practice imposes un- due hardship on rural carriers ill remov- ing loose coins from boxes and delays them on the service of their routes. The postmaster. therefore, urgently requests the patrons of rural delivery to provide themselves and keep on hand a supply of stamps consistent with and in advance of their needs. It is also very desirable that rural patrons place in their mail boxes small detachable cups of wood or tin in which to place coins, when neces- sary, ia purchasing supplies of stamps.

UNREASONABLE CLAIMS

This newspaper is not fighting the battles of the Berkshire Power Company as that company is amply able to de- fend itself but if we have been correctly informed. and we feel assured we have, the proceedings now before the legisla- ture of Massachusetts are simply the re- suit of a successful attempt on the part of certain residents of the town of Sheffield to have the state fight their battles, new tack in 8 series Of efforts to obtain damages that are ex- oessive and out of all reason considering the conditions and the circumstancss surrounding such demand. Had the Berkshire Power Company shown an in- clination to be domineering, arrogant, oyerbearing and unreasonable, to in- f1ict damage to property without com pensating the owners thereof, they would have merited the condemnation and disgust of all people who believe in right and justice but the company took no such course. They offered to settle at figure they considered just and adequate or to submit the questions to disinterested arbitrators and inasmuch as these offers were accepted by some of the owners of the overflowed land it is sufficient evidence that they (the lAndowners) also believed the amounts to bo sufficient. Two owners of prop erty overfowed by the water refused to settle at what generally seemed to be a reasonable figure. They named an amount which the company refused to pay on the ground that it is excessive. Failing in their attempts to obtain an injunction directing the removal of the dam, these men make an effort to have the state continue the litigation in their behalf and it now remains to be seen whether the commonwealth will take action and participate in fight which is clearly that of two unreasonable in- dividuals against beneficial and valu- able light, heat and power plant or whether these individuals will, after all, find that to obtain settlement of their claims they must proceed in the manner prescribed by the United States Circuit Court, a nd which manner said Court deems just and equitable.
