Speech

From the Minneapolis Journal.
President Taft last winter voiced
the theory that language should be ex-
act, precise, expressing what was
meant to be conveyed, and unincum-
bered with figures of speech. That
theory had previously been elaborated
by Herbert Spencer, the philosopher,
much more cogently. The theory is
fallacious, because language consists
OF symbols and never can be a per-
fectly transparent medium. More
over. language, unless it appeals to the
imagination of men. as we'll as to
their reason, fails OF full conviction.
There is rhetoric that is bombast and
oratory that is fustian, and we have
had so much OF it on the stump and in
the courts and legislative halls that a
truth-loving intellect such as Tafts
can be forgiven if in reaction against
pure emotionalism it fain would con-
fine speech to pure ratiocination.

HE DEFENDS HER GOOD NAME

Pu6LIc-sUTLER, PA, is VERY

positions in the Presbyterian church
in Pennsylvania.
Fathers Defense Costs Pulpit.
1t is reported that the Rev. Oilers
continued defense of his daughter aft.
er the session of the church had heard
her story and those of Gillespie and
his wife, made necessary his resigna-
ton as pastor of the church. The
refusal of the session to grant the
pastors request that letter of trans
fer to another congregation be issued
to his daughter drove him to give up
the pulpit he had filled for twenty
years, and it is this feature of the
scandal that has divided the church
and threatened to disrupt it's member
ship.
Mrs. Gillespie started the trouble a
short time ago. when she demanded a
letter of transfer, stating as her only
reason that she did not wish to attend
church that kept her husband on its
membership roll. AS Mr.. Gillespie
was regular attendant at church and
liberal contributor in a pecuniary
way, the session asked Mrs. Gillespie to
be more specific in her charges, and it
was then she mentioned Miss Oilers
name in way which left no course
open to the session other than an in
vestigation of the charges she had
made.
Man and Girl Summoned.
Gillespie and the minister's daughter
were summoned and the man is said to
have confessed that the charges were
true. Later the statement that two
members had confessed and asked for
giveness was prepared by the clerk of
the session.
One of the features of the hearing, it
is said, was the appearance of a jeweler
in Pittsburg, who was asked to identi-
fly certain articles of jewelry worn bv
Miss Oller as pieces that had been pur-
chased at his store by Gillespie. The
jeweler is said to have identified the
pieces.
Gillespie. who is man of large af-
fairs, is about 30 years old and has
gray hair. He is a distinguished look
ing man. Miss Oller is little more
than 10 years of age and is beautiful
and vivacious to a degree that long
has made her one of the bellies of the
younger set. Mrs. Gillespie is. re-
lated to the Melons, Pittsburg's larg-
est bankers, one of whom recently was
involved in a divorce suit with his
English wife over her unwillingness ~
live in America.

Items Gathered in
From Far ana Near
Gambler and the Hookworm Gift.


From the Columbia Is. c. State.
We do not believe that the south is
going to make a fool of itself in re-
gard to this matter The intelligent,
sober men OF the south have long ago
become wearied and disguised with
this sectional chip that some of our
spokesman insist upon carrying on
their shoulders They are tired of this
business of being put in the attitude
Of constantly being on the qui vive
for an insult They are sick of this
exploitation of the "sensitiveness" of
proud" people. They have ceased
to desire-if they ever did-being
made the laughing-stock of sober
thinking men. If the hookworm had
been prevalent in New England. doubt
less Mr. Rockefeller would have given
this same million for the campaign
against the plague: if it had been in
the west, then the gift would have
been made in the same way. And in
either instance it would have been
mentioned as matter of course that
the gift was made for a fight against
the disease in New England or in the
west, as the case might be. That is
all there is to it.
The south will not only make it.
self laughable, but will show itself
ungrateful if it fails to accept the
Rockefeller gift in the admirable spir-
it in which it was offered. We do not
believe that Bishop Gambler expresses
anybody's but his own opinion.

Where Farming PAYS,

From the Wall Street Journal
We have become so accustomed to
associating agricultural prosperity
with other sections Of the country that
1t is something Of surprise to learn
that IN the past year the twelve
southern states produced over $1.42e,-
100000 worth of agricultural products
as against sos. 900 900 in 1899, an in
crease of more than 100 per cent while
the average increase of the other Sec
lions was q little less than SIS per
cent.

A Harsh Experience,

A Harsh Experience.
He followed a peaceful existence each
day.
With plenty to do and but little to
say,
Till a bee came SO solely a-buzzfng
his way,
And he ran for an office.
He had good share of his neighbors'
respect;
For leading life that was mild and
correct.
The veriest gossips found naught to
suspect,
Till he ran for an office.
But they said he was given to all
kinds of strife:
A traitor to friends and a brute to-
ward his wife;
They even alleged that he ate with his
knife,
When he ran for an office.
Oh, the pictures they drew and the
songs that were sung,
oh, the stories repeated by old and
by young!
BY that soft buzxing bee he was ruth
lessly stung,
When he ran for an Office.
