committee says will maintain the
standard Of the past two years.
The subject for Mr. I.aFollette's
lecture this evening, as chosen by
by the commitbee is "Purer Poll
tics"
Robert NJ. LaFollette Is one of
the great orators now before the
public. While he has grace of de-
livery and uses the choicest Ian
,guage, he is little given TO classic
|allusion, by-play. or CTnamentation.
HE has strong sense OF humor but
uses II sparingly or not at all on
the platform. He Is all business
there talks directly and simply to
his audience, and makes appeal
only to their Intelligence and love
of love and fair play.
His power lies in the fact that he
knows what he is talking about and
is not tffling.
The lecture this evening will be

II ack Writer'S,

The j~ourncymen writer's write al
most all that almost all Americans
read. This is IA fact that we love to
fool ourselves about. We talk about
"literaturc," and we talk about
shack WRITER'S" implying that the
reading that we do is Of literature.
The truth all the while is we read
little else than the writing of the
hacks, living hacks-that is, mel
and women that write for pay. We
may hug the notion that our life
and thought are not really affected
by current literature, that we read
the living writer's only for utili-
tartan reasons and that our real. il
tellectual life is fed by the great
dead writers. But our hugging this
deluslon does not change the fact
that the intellectual life even of
most educated persons, and certain
l,y Of the mass Of the population, is
fed chiefly by the writer's of our own
time. Let us hope hat the great
writer's of the past do set the stand
ards whereby a few judge the writ
ing of the present. But even if this
be true it is still true also that the
intellectual life of the American
people is chiefly shaped by current
writing.-Walter H. Page in Allan

COSTLY CLOTHES.
Costumes Worn by One Set Of London
Boy Choristers.

AS a rule. boys are not disposed to
be overproud Of their clothes. bat a
lad whose Sunday suit costs some
go and is of 50 striking a character
that it is considered unsafe for him
to walk abroad in it alone might be
excused for beng a trifle "stuck up"
IN this connection.
Yet in London every Sunday there
are ten boys who are thus expensive
~ and brilliantly habited. They are
the ten choristcrs belonging to his
ma,icsty's chapel in St. james pal
ecc, and truly gorgeous are they
when arrHrcd in their estate suits"
Scarlet cloth is the Foundation of
the costume, and bands Of royal
purple between rows Of heavy Old
lace are the adjoining Of it. Grand
est Of all. old lace rutles' are worn
at Tie neck and wrists, but these are
so valuable and difficult to replace
that it must be a special occasion to
warrant their being donncd. white
lawn bands being substituted as a
general thing.
:. boy has to exercise great care
ever his state suit. for it must last
HIM three years, while his undrcss
salt is replaced every eight months.
The choir of this royal chapel Is
one Of the historical institutions Of
Britain. and many of its old time
customs, including the dress of the
boys, are retained to this dav.
Some curious customs peculiar to
St. James choristers may be men
toned. The most interesting Of
these is tie right of the head boy to
demand a guinea as spur money"
from any officer entering the chapel
wearing spurs.
Il is related that when Sir Arthur
Sullivan was head boy the Duke Of
Wellington would always come to
the chapel in his spurs in order to
have tie pleasure Of paying the for
felt to his favorite chorlster.-Pear-

Easy ~Bookkeepjnu,

A Chicago woman had served ac-
ceptably as treasurer of the club for
a little over a year, and that was an
exceptional record.

That doth the shadowy scene illumine,
Who fails to trace the fearful blight

Which dominates a drunken woman?

THE AUTOMOBILE HORN.

It is with no object of interfering with the natural progress of the Nor gan automobile case that we take oc- casion to use the testimony of Mir. Campbell in part to Illustrate the point The Journal-Courier has made, that the abolition of the horn would add immensely to the protection of the public.
 Mir. Campbell naturally lays stress on the fact that he footed his auto horn to warn Dr. Morgan of the near ness of the machine. In other words he unconsciously testifes to the cor rectness of our contention, that the possession of a horn has come to be viewed by auto owners and drivers as the possession of superior right in the streets and highways. We do not say 1t is their fault that they in- terpret the possession of the toot horn in this way, but we do say that 1t will be the fault of the state if it con tinues to provide them with the op- portunity to so interpret its signifi- canoe.
 If 1t were not for the toot horn au- tomoblc drivers would conduct them selves under such conditions as the driver of a horse would; they would come to a standstill. They toot in vain when the obstacle in their way is heavier and more powerful than their own machine. A truck loaded with coal or stone smiles at the warning of the toot horn. It is only where the obstablc Is weaker that the risk is ta- ken, which occasionally results in loss of life. It is in the nature of psychological problem. Weaken the power of the machine by dcpriving 1t of It's horn and there Is at once placed upon the driver the sense of caution, which moves him when he approaches a sudden and sharp turn in the road. Hornlcss his machine becomes under his direction as safe as ahy other vehicle, whose owner has been taught by experience to look out for others on foot, even if it be- comes necessary to come to stand still.
 To be deprived of the opportunity to plead: T footed my horn would mean larger measure of protection for the man on the street against tho reckless and risk taking auto driver.

lative apportionment. As the Hart ford Times aptly puts 1t: "The big towns contribute the bulk of the state revenues; the little towns go almost scot free. The natural result is that the small towns, securely seated in the legislative saddle, are disposed to pur- sue free and liberal policy in au- thorizing drafts on the public treas ury. They have also established a practice, especially in the matter of highways and schools, of giving spe- cial favors to the little towns

 Why not an automobile police pa. trol? The patrol now in use is neither speedy or slightly or serviceable as compared with those of other cities Hartford now has an auto police pa. rol which could make rings" about our "hurry-up wagon when on the way to call-boX,
