GAYNOR PRAISES ROOSEVELT
New York Jurist Likens the Presi.
dent to Frederick the Great.
Declares All Great Characters Are
Called EFTHtic or Insane by Their
Mental and Moral Interiors.

New Rochelle, \. y, Feb. 2-Justice
William J. Gaynor. of the appellate di-
vision Of the Supreme Court, in his ad-
dress at the Peoples Forum in the New
Rochelle Theater this afternoon on The
Constitution and the Courts" again Wig
oroUsly defended the policy Of President
Roosevelt and compared him with Fred
erick the Great
There is an erratic man in Washing
ton. said Justic Gaynor. I'VE hear much
about him now. bur the people know who
is erratjc. They know that you cannot
get a great man without he has some
great defect. Every purse-proud individ-
ual. as well as Teactonary duIlard. al
ways considers great character erratic
or insane.
In their UttIeness Of heart or soul he
seems so to them, but the people know
that Frederick the Great was not insane,
though he vas called so all over Europe
just as we'll as they know and understand
Theodore Roosevelt. President Roosevelt
is safe and sane enough for the most Of
US. We ought TO give everybody his due
whether he belongs TO our party or be-
longs elsewhere"
Justice Gaynor intimated that much Of
the clamoT against the President was
from wrongdoers who were trying TO use
the government to enable them to under
sell and ruin their rivals in business.
He said. when the courts, including the
Supreme Court of the United States,
justly and properly held that the rail-
roads were public highways in order 10
convict Debs of contempt of court for
obstructing them. these other violators
of the laws of the highways were loud in
their plaUdits, but now they assail the
courts and the President and the gov
ernment IN the srossest manner when the
same law is applied to them. Little do
they see what they Will bring on them
selves if they continue in their course"

OPENS COFFIN TO GET GEMS
Lynn Youth Admits Breaking Into
Tomb of Extinct Family.
Glove Pulled on Hand of Skeleton

Youths Involved,

Boston, Feb. 2-The tomb Of the New
comb heirs in the Swampscott Cemetery
has been broken into and four caskets
pried open. presumably in search Of rings
OF other valuable ornaments believed TO
have been inferred with the dead.
Chief Of Police Corson has begun an
investigation, and the police say that a
confession has been secured by the sweat
ing process from Lynn youth. Ii is
expected that a gang Of young toughs
have been systematically plundcring the
old tombs. and that several arrests Will
be made.
The particular tomb where discovery
Of the vandalism was made is that Of an
old SWampscott family that has died
out. The local authorities have been
unable - secure any trace Of relatives.
They cannot learn what jewelry was
buried in the caskets. 1t is believed that
a pair Of gold cuff buttons was among
the articles secured.
To-day Chief Of Police CorsCn and Gem
etery Supt Pitman will make a further
examination of the tombs to discover
how far the depredatiOns have extended.

mandS special calnlng1 Dut me spirit, VI eiIo-
ton, is of still more moment; indeed, 1t may
entirely negative the thought in sarcasm;
so the art side of reading must be likewise
taught. Imagine student reading these words
from Macbeth with his hands reeking with
blood fresh from the murder of Duncan: This
is sorry sight with more emotional value
than II his hands were smeared with green
paint! Yet this absurd rendering Of the text
would be the Inevitable result from not
ceiving or interpreting the indicated emotion.
ITO comprehend, appraise and enjoy any art
one must bring to its appreciation a certain
amount of cultivation in its technique; this is
true of music, sculpture, painting; and yet it
is stupidity supposed that he who runs may
read that the greatest Of arts, literature, is
understandable to any one who proncunces
words in sequence, whether not he possess
literary technique. In short, the study of oral
English is not an accomplishment for semi
occasional use, but an essential In education.
Alexander Won Humbolt has wisely said No
one can regard the written word real word;
the real word is spoken Hence, to learn sci
entiically the sound of word and the proper
tionate value of word, in thought and in emo
ton. is at the very foundation of all culture.
Recitation, defamation, impersonation, To-
rensic address, pulpit oratory, dramatic art, are
arts, but it cannot be too strongly urged that
personal culture should be the chief reason for
pursuing this study.
SPEECH ACQUIRED BY IMITATION
Think for moment of this self-evident fact
speech is the one function of the human
acquired from the outside, and always by imi-
tation. Sight, touch, taste, smell will train
themselves by what may be termed the natural
ter of external influence and example, yet we
leave the acquisition of this great function to
chance.
"Of what avail to clamor for better speech
when the only effective remedy, the studying Of
it, is not suggested? The controlling influence
in good speech is good tone production. One
may speak with perfect grammar and yet with
such raucous or strident tones that the system
of phonetics becomes distorted; in fact, every
element Of tone comes into play, even In con-
versation. and, If wrongly employed. poor speech
is the result.

Richard Grant White said that speech faults
could not be eradicated after maturity, but this
has been shown to be discouraging dictum
not founded upon fact. The ordinary man or
woman has only to be told of his or her mis-
pronunciations and other nperfections Of ut
terance to correct them forthwith. But despite
the great number of excellent institutions and
private teachers dealing with the speech arts
In more forms, it cannot be denied that
education along these lines must needs be. for
some time to come, in the nature of pioneer
work.
1T is hard to account for the misunderstand-
ing as TO the ends and aims OF the study of oral
language. 1t would seem that be the fault
whose it may, the teaching of the parlor recita-

Interpretation to ones self is not included in

Personal culture is the most desirable and
certain outcome of the study. There are those
who contend that the eye sense is more acute
and more rapid than the ear sense in reading
from the printed or the written page. This
may be true with the exceptional person, but
for the ordinary reader the process of getting
the thought from the printed page, even though
it be in silence and in the privacy Of the closet
is an imagined oral one.
"WoRD NOT PICTURE"
1.-The definition, in our recent school gram
mars Of a word-the picture Of an idea-is
false on its face. A word Is the picture Of a
sound and that sound in its turn stands for the
idea, and differs in the differing tongues not at
all as to idea but completely as to sound.
I'VE pronounce mentally just as We pronounce
orally; hence, the learning Of language with
reference to it's phonetics is a matter which
concerns not only speech but our mental
use Of it. In like manner we mentally employ

ment Of speech when we read silently just as

COUNSEL TO HUSBANDS.
Wives Like Cleverness Demonstrated
in the Home.

The youn husband who most frc-
Quently comes to grief in married life
is he who becomes merely an orna-
mcnt in The house. He is Of the kind
who thinks that havin" done the
breadwinning his duty is over. Most
wives will agree that ii is. but the
husband s duty is one thing. and
making marriage Il success another
says the New York American.
\ woman likes her husband to be
clever. but She prefers clc>erneSs that
thinks more Of the toy castle he
makes for little Willie than business
deal involving much solid cash. 1t is
woman 5 way. perhaps, but it is nee
assary for man. if he wishes to be
happy. to take note Of it.
Home should be made by two pco-
pie. the husband and the wife. Neither
one should be just an ornament. TO
grace the handiwork Of the other. 1t
is the combination Of the individual
ity Of the man and the woman that
gives to 4 dwelling the home touch,
which sets it apart from the other
places.
You have seen, I dare say. homes
where the hand of the husband is
seen all around. Shelves here and
there, brackets with amateur carving,
a home made clock, perhaps or a rude
china cabinet. To all Of those the
wife points with pride, for nobody is
so ready as wife to appreciate a
mans industry, in the house. and no
one else s praise is worth one-tcnth as
much.
1t is just possible that You have
turned up your nose at the man who
"potters about' at home. and. if il
becomes a question of success in the
world, You may not be altogcthcr
wrong, Talking Of success in mar
riage, this "po ring about" habit
is grand asset.
But even among the worlds most
successful men we find this home hab-
it, and there are milionaires who take
greater pride in showing their own
handiwork in home than in the big
business they have built. One man
grows flowers, another collects china,
another carvcs wood. and another
distributes his energy Throughout: the
house.
