MIR. PTNCHoT GOES TT ALONE.

The blow has fallen. Clifford Pinchot
has broken with his next friend of
other days, Theodore Roosevelt He is
in a huff at the present recluse of
Oyster Bay because the latter gave
considerable measure of endorsement
to President Taft during the recent
campaign in the eastern section of the
country, and because he also failed to
condemn in unmeasured terms the
tariff law. This has been too much for
the gifted Mr.. Pinchot To the scrap
pile he consigns the friendly relation
ships and good will which have existed
in times past between himself and the
quondam faunal naturalist and erst-
While militant politician. They were
comrades once. Now they are as
strangers. Amt it awful Mabel?
If this blow were serious one to the
colonel, it would be easy to imagine
him seeking out some one of the secret

claiming in tones of anguish EFT tn,

deserted him will likely fall off the
coloners rugged shoulders as does wa
ter from a ducks back. The colonel
can get along very nicely, no doubt,
without the comfort and the advice of
Mr. Pinchot. 1t remains to be seen
how well the latter can travel on his
own feet.
1t would appear safe to predict that
his journey will not be extensive
Pinchot lived quite a number of years
in mans estate without attracting the
attention OF the multitudes or any
small portion of them. Nothing much
was heard of him until he was picked
up by the colonel and given a place in

congenial ways and his ability to knock

an effort was made to hold him IN

That ended his career as a public ser

the limelight quite a bit since chiefly
through his exposition of the colonels

called all bets off with the colonel it
would not be surprising to hear him
insist that this new nationalism' IS
all his own. 1t wasn't so long ago that
he made a, speech in which he said II

THE KILLING PACE.

Through all the year he tolls away
ana saves a little day by day,
Through self denial;
his fingers are bedaabed with ink.
And often he has cause to think
That life'S trial.
He sadly turns from pleasures which,
Are only for the idle rich
And for the lucky;

10 her who shares it, were he not
Almighty plucky.
His hours are long. he finds it hard
10 win his fellow-man's regard,
Without some splurging;
Hes only idle when he sleeps;
Necessity ignobly keeps.
Forever urging
His trousers sag around the knees,
HIS Wh1skerS flutter in the breeze,
His look is seedy:
He always wears a last years hat
His general makeup is that
Shown by the needy.
He might sometimes have peace of mini
And sweet contentment gladly find,
Freed from his labors,
II he could get his wife to try
To quit endeavoring to vie
With their rich neighbors.

Pie In Oklahoma politics.

If Representative Creager of Okla
homa who is seeking a reelection, is
successful, it will not be because of his
knowledge of the etiquette of pie, but
in spite of it. In the course of his
campaign he attended a pie social at
Needmore, which is in the territory of
the Cherokee nation. The Needmore
girls had baked a gorgeous array of
pumpkin pies, and these, each packed
in a separate box, were to be disposed
of by rattle. Mr.. Creager took q
chance and drew a pie of generous
proportions and comedy features, but
not being pie hungry, he dropped his
prize in a patch of weeds on the out
skirts of the grounds. When his meth
cd of disposing of it was discovered
there were large and varied assort-
ments of trouble for Mr.. Creager. The
etiquette of the game required that
the winner of a pie should hunt up
the girl who baked it and share the
eating of 1t with her. The maker of
Mr.. Creager's pie happened to be an
attractive and popular Cherokee Indian
girl, and her friends insist that she has
been insulted by the representatives.
treatment of her artistic pastry. The
affair has been taken up by the poll
ticians, and that rejected pie has be-
come a live issue in the local cam
paign, with the result that Mr.. Creag-
er's political scalp is in grave peril.
The moral is that statesman should
never scorn pie, certainly never near
election day.-New York Mail.

HAs ooNGREss NO ORATORS?

If not wholly lost. the art of oratory
is rapidly falling into dfsuse, particu-
larry in congress. writes Champ Clark
in the December Century in an inter
esting article entitled us Congressional
Oratory a Lost Art"
William Bourke Cochran, of New
York, was the last great orator to grace
the house of representatives. Cochran
is the highest type of Irishmen, and
was educated thoroughly in France.
He is a profound student, a man of
large erudition, with an emotional
temperament and a thorough mastery
not only of English, but of French,
Latin and Greek He has a superb
voice, a vivid Imagination and a COM
handing presence. His sentences are
polished as thoroughly as those of Ed
ward Everett or John James ingalls,.
The greatest achievement of an orator
is to force applause from a hostile
audience. Time and time again have
seen men who dissented toto caelo
from what he was saying applaud
Cochran until their hands were blister
ed. He won them, temporarily at least,
by his magnificent oratory. his won
derful sentences and his personal mag
netism. Men listened to him with
delirious delight. The day he left the
house he was more popular there than
he had ever been. and men of all
shades of political opinion sincerely re-
GREETED his departure.
I do not mean that there are not still
great speakers and great debaters
in both houses Of congress for there
are plenty of them. But there is a
vast difference between an orator and
dbater. A man may be both, but
he is lucky if he is either. There are
few orators left in the country outside
of congress. Undoubtedly the greatest
of these-one of the greatest that ever
lived-is William Jennings Bryan. 9th
er men have made speeches as great as
his, but the oratorical power of no
other has been put to so severe a test
Since the fourth of March, 1895, when
he left congress, excepting his six
minths in the army service, he has
spoken constantly and in every
quarter of the globe. Every i'm
portant speech has been sent broad
cast by the news associations, and one
might naturally conclude that he would
have worn out his welcome as a public
speaker long ago. Not so, however, for
today he can draw a bigger audience
than any other man in America except
President Taft, dho draws by reason of
his position, with Col. Roosevelt, who
draws by his wonderful and unique
personality.
There are plenty of men in the
United States who could deliver old
time orations. but they. have concluded
that in this age of highest intelligence
that the palmer style of speaking is
the better. The principal causes of the
decadence of oratory are telegraph,
the printing press, the telephone, the
steam engines and the electric car.
