ord-Laree Number of Voters and
Others Heard Speech Friday.

Governor Cole l.. Blease smoke at
Pleasant Grove school house Friday
afternoon TO crowd of about five
hundred people. He made a most in
teresting address along educational
lines, not touching on political mat
ters at all, except in defending his
pardoning record. He made q few
remarks of an uncomplimentary ma
ture concerning the newspapers, in
that they had not, he stated. done
him justice in attacking him on his
pardoning record.
The speech was we'll received
Governor Blease was cheered y
Der of times. He seemed TO ~ :
crowd in sympathy with hi. Ugh
there were no indications 1 they
W ere wholly for him. Education was
his main topic and he stuck to it all
the way through, except when ne
branched off to defend his pardoning
record, of which he stated ne was
p ord. F[e spoke for almost an nour
and gave some very interesting edu-
cational statistics.
In his speech he said that he be-
lieved in colleges and also in the
schools. but he believed that the COL
leges were getting too much money
and being too eXtravagant in a num-
ber Of ways, while the rural schools,
which needed the money more and
We're the backbone of the country,
We're not getting enough to run on SO
that they could do the best work.
When he came to mention his par
doning record, he gave a number OF
reasons why in particular insta ,ces h.
had pardOned people. In some casas
it was sympathy. in others it was be-
cause prominent people Of the COM
munity from which the prisoner came
petitioned it, In other cases it was at
the request Of the solicitor, in or
der that citizenship might be restored
and the person might testify against
others at some trial. He gave one
touching instance Of why he had par
doned one boy, which brought tears
into the eyes Of his hearers.
1t was while mentioning his par
donng record that Governor Blease
made his attack on the newspapers
The attack was n very mild onc.-f)r
the governor. He merely stated that
the newspapers had judged him and
found him guilty when they did not
know the reasons for his pardoning
the convicted persons, or his motives
for doing so. They had mistrated him
in this way numbers Of times with
out hearing his side of the case and it
was for this reason that he was down
on these papers.
On the seventeenth of next month
Judge Jones will speak at Trinity
school house, about three miles from
the place at which Governor Blease
spoke Friday.

the difference between the two minds arising out of the primary difference as C where We lay the emphasis. continues to be the question of the reaching the best development, the democratic mind emphasizes free doom, the aristocratic mind empha. sizes external discipline It is not that the aristocratic mind altogether denies freedom. or that the demo cratic mind ignores discipline But the democratic mind lays the em- phasis on freedom and when it helps, it helps without pharisaism or condescensiOn, and when it discip- lines, it disciplnes with reluctance and without eClat. The aristocratiC minds lays the emphasis on discipline. enjoys and displays the process, grants freedom with hesitation, and when it helps, no matter how wise and good the helping, can hardly avoid some register of condescen- sion. It is not that the aristocratic mind intends to be pharisaiCal, or is conscious of it's condescensiCn. The trouble lies in the fact that the man of aristocratic spirit has al lowed his mind, by birth and GUS tom and environment, to put too much emphasis on the difference between his condition and the con dition of the other man, and has not allowed his mind to go on to the deeper idea of man to man which lies below all differences"
 As further contribution to the discussion, here is good defin- ition of democracy by the great Joseph Mazzini:
 Yesterday we reverenced the priest, the lord, the soldier the master; today we reverence man, his liberty, his dignity, his immor- tality, his labor, his progressive tendency; all that constitutes him a creature made in the image of Gcd-not his color, his birth, his fortune, all that is accidental and transtory in him. We believe in the sacredness of individual con- science: in he right of every man to the utmost self-development com patible with the equal right of his fellows; and hence we hold that whatever denies or shackles lib- erty is impious, and ought to be Gverthrown, and as soon as possible destroyed.

PARIS, Feb. "A. - According to a story which finds ready credence in widely differing circles here, Elm peror William l. of Germany, when he was merely Prince William of Prussia, consulted a seeress and asked three questions about the flu ture.
 The first of these questions was Tn what year will the German em. pire be formed?"
 The seeress, who answered Gues- tions by allowing pencil she held in her hand to wander apparently aimless among a group of figures before alighting finally on certain ones, selected in this manner the figures 1, 8, 4, g.
 Write them down." she said to the prince.
 He did so, and to his surprise they indicated the then current year
 But the seeress was not through
