OPEN AIR ORAiORY
Open air oratory is profession to
which many are called and few are
lynched.
The prevailing notion of a jim
crack open air speaker is one whose
voice will carry long distance. The
orator who puts ideas and elocution
into his speech is not the ideal. Nope,
the laurels and other salads are
COPIED by the guy who puts the rants
in endurance.
Open air meetings are meeting the
general demand for hot air in cool
surroundings. But they are full of
disadvantages for the amateur or
one-cylinder speaker.
. Here is the principal drawback
His audience is all around him in
stead of in front of him. With the
speakers platform as a pivot he has
to wheel around and around to them
like a talking lawn-sprinkler. 1t is
the funniest TURN outside of vaude-
villel !
Large picnics are not complete I'M
less there is a program of al fresco
speeches on the main platform. No
matter how we try, we can't make
holiday all pleasure, you know!
And there must be a chance for
rising young candidates and mem
beers of The legislature to make the
welkin ring and address that patient
and long-suffering listener, ,Phelloe
Sitzens. ~ .",

dience bursts into uncontrolled grief

SLAYER TAKES 81 IN Cash
Indianapolis, Ind, Sept. 23.-The
body of Joseph Schlansky, a clothing
merchant, was found in the room of
a man who registered as w. R. An
derson, Louisville, KY, at the Oneida
Hotel, with strong cord twisted

ments. A watch and chain worth

killed and robbed him. The slayer
had deliberately washed his bloody
hands in the rooms lavatory and
walked out of the hotel to the rail-
road station; where he probably

SCHOOL.

The call to school has been sound ed through the land and a greater army of school children than ever has responded to it's summons, some with their likes and others with their dis likes al resuming this important task of fitting themselves to meet the prob lens and struggles of life. There are those with dislikes because of the fail ure on the part of many to appreciate the advantages which are being given them because of the lack of a proper understanding of what the purpose of school is and because it takes them from one steady whirl of pleasure to prepare for the future. They find it hard to get down to the consideration of matter of fact things.
 There are those who like 1t, and are happy that school has opened be- cause they find pleasure in it. They like the task which is associated with the gaining of an education. It is work. but they are interested. It ap peals to them and they revel in trying to quench the everlasting thirst for knowledge.
 There should be a disposition to get everything that is obtainable from school It offers the opportunity which is never so much appreciated as when the time comes to put it's teachings to use School is the institution which is so necessary to the development of the best there is within one It is the factory for mak- ing better men and women. both through the knowledge and the disci pline to be obtained.

SAFEST IN HE WORLD"

When President Elliott in his state ment concerning the New Haven road declares that he intends to make it the safest road in the world" it is declaration which indicates that he realizes the need of the system and likewise the problem which he faces. Ii is realized that he has a long list of fatalities before him as an inspira ton for such an utterance, but noth- ing could more plainly show that he understands the weak point of the sys tenn He has taken off his coat and gotten busy for at the same time he says: One thing has already been ar ranged for and that is the closer su- pervision of the operations of that part of the railroad known as the Shore Line division"
 II is on this division that the wrecks have piled up one after the other It is therefore apparent that it is there in particular that the remedy needs to be applied and the new president has set about the application in the right way study of conditions surround ing all the WreCks indicates a lack of respect for the operating rules of the road and failure to assume the proper responsibility which falls upon each individual in the employ of the road. This it is the intention of the new president to immediately over come by getting in closer touch with his men and with it will come the necessary modern mechanism in the way of signal devices, and equipment such as steel cars and proper cross overs to accomplish his important task It is a big undertaking, but no a5 +n ceed than the public and the quicker ii can come the better.

NAMES ELECTION.

How hard a contest was waged ip the third congressional district in Maine is indicated by the fact that more votes were cast in the district on Monday than at the presidential elsction last November. The outcome with the election of John A. Peters, the republican candidate, shows plain ly that Maine has realized the posi- ton which it has been holding under the third party influence and that such was simply playing into the hands of the democratic opponents. With over nifty per cent. of the progressives back In the support of the republican can didate plainly does it show the trend of affairs and a recognition of the value of unity. It is the only sane and sensible view which they could have taken and recognized the prin- ciples for which they stand.
 With the republicans making such a handsome gain. the progressives re- turning to the fold and the democrats making no gain at all, the district be- comes a barometer for the feeling con corning the administration and the tariff. That the first election where the tariff bill has been used so exten- siVely during the campaign should re- suit in a repudiation of it. even with a three cOrnered contest. is one of the best indications of the attitude of the voters. Maine has gotten back where it belongs. It has started a re- union of the republicans in accordance with the dictates of common sense and has put into action a movement which has been we'll started in many other states

1 MT. Fowler was leaning on the ran ol his yacht gloemily surveying the tran quil water and the low rich country beyond. He had expected to find pleas ure in the view, but 1t bored him. The yacht bored him. Valentine Fowler 37 years old, had great possessions. 1 He had made his fortune on the Stock Exchange and had retired to enjoy i life He tried to think he was enjoy ing life, but he knew he was not. And he could not by any means discover the reason. MT. Fowler just felt that l he had 8 grievance. MT. Fowler's attention was attracted to boat moored among the reeds, about half a mile distant from the yacht. She was fitted with an unusual kind of deck house; and, spying through glass, Fowler described a man, who was apparently painting at an easel There was nothing in that but sitting behind him, was a girl and MT. ! Fowler was faintly interested He had not married It occurred to MT. Fow- Ter that he might visit the painter, and he ordered out the dinghy.
 MT Fowler, pulling leisurely, drew near to the boat. The painter return ed his salutation without pausing in his work. The girl surveyed him in curiously Evidently the daughter.
 Hard a work eh?" said Mir Fowler.
  the painter, briefly. Nature won't wait, you see"
 Dear me" said MT Fowler. "I thought painting was such a leisurely pursuit. But I'm interrupting you"
 Not in the least Just finished, aboard? Catch hold of the painter Marjorie"
 May I Iook?" said MT. Fowler, as the painter laid his wet picture in the stern sheets. Butts that's awfully good, isn't it?" He turned to the girl.
 Its a Paul Roose," she returned, coolly, as if the name explained every thing.
 "Of course" returned MT. Fowler, who had never before heard the name. Appropriate introduction, eh? My names F'owIer-quite uncelebrated."
 The cabin was fitted a miniature studio in which the painter could work in wet weather. MT. Fowler languidly admired the arrangements. He asked permission to see Roose's sketches, and the girl brought a portfolio and silently laid drawing after drawing before him. Presently he selected a sketch which seemed to differ in style from the rest.
 That one is not for sale,' said Miss Marjorie Roose.
 But l like that one" said Mr Fow- Ter
 Which is that?" said Roose, peer ing into the cabin. Oh yes-shOws your good taste We like it. too"
 T can see it's good of course" said MT Fowler. But why is it-I mean what's the particular point?"
 Tt happens to be unique, that's all" said Paul Roose. Gall it a happy acci- dent"
 Why mayn't I buy happy acci- dent?" asked MT. Fowler, bluntly
 Money can't buy that sort of thing" said the girl.
 Would you refuse 100 guineas now?' pursued Fowler, argumentative- ly
 Yes" said the painter curtly.
 What 1 doE-t understand" pursued Mr. Fowler, unabashed, 'fs why you should take the trouble to paint if, in fact, you don't want to make money. When l was in the city I couldn't have stood the life for minute if I was not making something out of it-and a pretty good thing, too, though I say it."
 What we don't understand" said the girl lis how anyone can go into the city, however much money is to be made in such a horrible place."

GREAT POSSESSIONS

l well. if it wasn't for people like us l in the city-not that I'm there now who'd buy your pictures, ehE" returned Fowler
 MT Fowler pulled back to his yacht conscious of an irritating doubt which he could not formulate; and aware also of a dim inclination toward Marjorie Roose.
 On Sunday afternoon Fowler again visited the painter. On Monday he en- tertained Paul Roose and his daughter in his yacht. A day or two later he conceived the daring project of taking them for & cruise. Give them a good time for once in their lives, said Tow Ter. What they can see in this paint ing business fairly puzzles me.
 Fowler gave them the yacht to play with. Ro0se painted some 12 sketches every day; his daughter beguiled the sad eyed skipper and handled the craft as she pleased. She kept Mir. Fowler In a continual state of surprise, for she did not in the least resemble the wom en he knew.
 q say" said Fowler 'I wish you'd tell me why you wouldn't sell that pie ture"
 Couldn't afford it. replied Marjorie
 Are you holding for a rise?' asked Fowler, bewildered
 "I don't know what you mean. We don't want to sell, because no money
  never read Ruskin's definition of wealth."
 Who's Ruskin?"
 "A man who wrote about art He didn't know much about it, but he did know about the value of money. He said that an old decayed fresco in an Italian church was the real wealth of Italy, No money could replace it you see"
 'I give it up," said Fowler
 It's quite simple, really" continued the girl Take your won case. I sup pose you've got all the money you want But you can't buy art with it.
 You seem to think nothing in the world is important except something you call art" said Fowler plaintively
 Nor is there" said the girl.
 MT. Fowler appeared to mediate. He continued to mediate until the last day of the cruise. when he propounded the crucial question.
 Do you mean to say that if you and your father had the choice between doing what you do, and being rich and not doing it. you would continue to do it?" asSed MT. Fowler, pathological, but earnest.
 'Of course" said Marjorie How silly you are. Why, we have the real wealth. You've only got the money. You are not happy"
 Couldn't fellow have money as well as art?" asked MT. Fowler, with a gleam of hope.
 Cant be done" replied the girl
 Tt doesn't seem right to me-" said MT. Fowler. He paused. It's quite true" he continued, lugubriously, what you said about my not being happy, Pm not. There's something missing but it isn't what you call art. I've thought it all out. I've come to the conclusion it's you I want" He gazed at her solemnly. To his surprise Mar jorie did none of the things described in the literature MT. Fowler had read on the subject.
 T couldn't possibly marry you" she said, simply.
 Why not"
 You're too rich"
 That's absurd" said MT Fowler, angriIy.
 Not at all." retorted the girl. 'If you had the choice would you give up all you have? You know you wouldn't t any more than the man did in the Bible"
 MT. Fowler regarded her in silence. Then he went sadly away, for he had great sessions.-London Post.

Can anybody in New Haven or Con necticut regard the so-called investiga- ton of the causes of the North Haven wreck by the interstate commerce commission as anything more than a farce?
