FROM OTHER PENS
LOVES YOUNG DREAM.

The sentimental side of Newport's
latest social incident will appeal
strongly to very few of our readers. 1t
is very well to say that we are all de-
scended from Adam-or the pro
toplasm, If you will. The facts remain
that a girl bred to luxury is ill-fitted
to take charge of the necessarily
humble home of the driver of a motor
car, and that the son of the keeper of
a small livery stable has not been
trained to take his place in the fash
mer colony. That these two young
persons, granting that each has the
essentials of character. fortitude, pa
thence, self-control, may yet work out
their destiny, is not TO be doubted.
But, in spite of our liking for romance,
we must confess that tic manner of
their courtship and marriage justifies
little hope that they will do so. They
have acted in an impuisive. foolish
way.
The young woman's choice of hus-
band is assuredly not fiattering to the
young men of her set. 1t is equally
true that the chauffeur's choice of a
wife does not indicate that he has
even the haziest notion of the serious
ness of marriage and the burden of
responsibilities it entails. According
to the point in view that was almost
to blame for the elopement and will
suffer most for it's consequences. if
they are unpleasant. He is, presum-
ably, handsome and strong, and in
good health, and as all the world still
pretendS to love a lover, doubtless he
will not wholly lack sympathy.-New
York Times.

PEOPLE WILL TALK.

A good deal of the trouble in this
vale of tears is due to the general
fear of talk. People are afraid to
say what they think. or act as
they would like to, because of this
dread of what the gossips may say.
The few people who are Indifferent TO
talk. and who go their way independ
emily, are considered eccentric or may
be worse
The fear of talk is q good thing
in one way, in that it LEAFS many peo-
pie to be halfway decent, who other
wise would be disreputaLle The old
query of what would the neighbors
say?' has caused a multitude of men
to hesitate about doing the wrong
thing, so public opinion IS q valuable
lever under proper conditions.
But the majority of people have a
slavish regard for public opinion. that
is fatal to their independence, and it
is bad thing to have 10 independ-
ence of spirit.
If you know you are right in your
opinions or your conduc1 if you are
doing your best ACCORDING to your
lights, it makes no difference in the
world what the neighbours say. 1t is
better to be misjudged end maligned
than to do a cowardly thing.
No matter whether you do right or
wrong the neighbors VIII talk about
you, so the wisest plan is to try to do
right, and forget that tft7re are long
tongues in the world. IN the end a
man is judged by his own record and
not by what the neighbcrs say.-Em-
poria Gazette.

ETYMOLOGY OF WORD
CAMORRA EXPLAINED
To the Editor Of THE TINES:

To the Editor Of THE TINES:
In reply to ]. H. It's inquiry in Satur-
days Times as to the etymology of the
words "camorra" and "camorrista,'' the
name camorra from Arabic kumar, a
game OF chance) came from Spain where
it indifferently signifies either a quarrel
or dispute or a short coat or garment
which was at one time worn by MEM
bers of the camorra. The Spaniards.
centuries ago, experienced the camorra
at the hands of the Arabs who levied.
by intimidation. on the gamblers who
frequented the cafes and public houses.
During the Spanish domination OF
Naples, the camorra was, in turn, car
ried there by them and exercised in the
form of promiscuous extortion and i'm
position.
The name "camorra,' In modern u.s.
age, signifies the secret organization at
Naples about which we have lately read
so much in the newspapers. "CamorA

THE LONE STATESMAN OF
CIRCUS DAY.

Ralph Bingham used to tell OF his ex-
perience in a Western town where he
was lecturing, as he thought, with fine
effect, when "the audience put on his
hat and walked out" 1t was before
an assembly of the same size that
Representative Rucker of Colorado de-
livered few we'll CHOSEN remarks in
the lower house of Congress on Mon
day. The audience, in this case, how
ever, did not put on his hat and
walk out" He seemed duly impressed,
and took notes of the speech with great
care. This was due in part to the fact
that he was the official stenographer,
and is paid $4,000 year to stand on
the burning deck when all but he have
fled. Perhaps it should be added in
cidentally that the presiding officer con-
tinued in the chair to preserve order
and to protect the member from fill
clustering tactics or supplementary
interruptions. In fairness to all present
it should be said that save for the
drowsy ticking of the clock and the
ricochet of an occasional echo there
were no Interruptions whatever. Mr..
Rucker scored heavily on the oppo-
sition. There was something final and
convincing in the tone with which he
defantly paused for reply" and no
answering voice was lifted. This cir
cumstance will not be overlooked out
in Colorado, when the Record arrives,
showing in black and white that if his
arguments were not unanswerable they
were at least unanswered.
And yet Representative Rucker is not
the prosiest speaker in an assembly
where there are a number of uncon-
scious competitors for the title. If
he read his remarks it was no more
than many of his associates do day
after day. The explanation must lie
elsewhere. A cynical mind will find
something suspicious in the coincidence
that the circus was in town, and that
while he rode his hobby the parade was
passing by. Craftsmanship which can
devote itself to the symbolized donkey
and elephant with a whole menagerie
out of doors is of piece with the stuff
OF. which heroes and martyrs are made,
but it is as rare as a day in June,
