MR. OARLIN,s SPEECH.

Hon. o. o Garlic, the efficient rep
resentstive 10 Congress from this district,
spoke to large and sppreciative
audience last Friday night in Memorial
Hall. 1t was the consensus Of all pre-
seut that Mr.. OarIin made a very strong
speech, refuting thoroughly the charges
OF extravaganza In the democratic party
pat forth by Messrs. Kent, Brent d %.
Mr.. Osrlin amused his hearers very
much wheu be told how Mr.. Kent, the
republican candidate for governor, was
going over the state attacking the demo-
crsts for being too extravagant with the
public moneys for schools, roads and
pensions, aud then almost 10 the same
breath promised that If elected be would
see that the roads, schools snd soldiers
received even more than now. No better
stumper than Mr.. Osrlin has entered
the campaign, and, by the way, we be-
lieve that we are warranted 10 saying
that the 9Th District never had better
representative 10 Congress. he is a
hard and successful worker for the best
interests OF every part Of bis district aud
We doubt II he has any opposition next
year for the nomination again. The
people up this way certainly seem well

Is no harm in long distance races. The
ones who suffer are those who enter a

do not do the right kind of training.
There have been many critics who have
claimed that these Marathons, or long
distance races, were Of only temporary
interest. and would pass into oblivion in
a short time. This is not so. Long dis

when Kid Sullivan put him to slee1 in

he came out of his trance he was
through with the ring. Yet, he is back
again and doing well. 1t should be an
interesting bout and a large bunch Of

the ringside. Scroggs is a pretty clev-

much better in the last year than he
did a couple Of --ears ago. He is said
TO have acquired more confidence in
himself. which is what he needed, for
he was not overburdened with that
commodity when we saw him last.
