Is SUNDAY USING INGERSOLL'S
SPEEICI{ErSr

Billy Sunday is now being accused o1 plagiarism because he has dcliv- cred an old soldier speech which reads like an address delivered at one time by the late Colonel Ingersolt,
 but the former denies it, although ne
 admits he saves newspaper clippings
 sent him from time to time and he
 says he never read 1ngersoll. It is
 no injustice to say that the ex-ball
 player is not in the same class as the
 deceased colonel was as an orator and
 If he made use of some of his speeches
 they could be so easily distinguishcd
 from lis own stuff that there would not need to be any argument about it.
 Had Colonel Ingersoll been a Chris
 been the greatest power the pulpit had Tn America. He had a wonder ful command of English, his rhetoric was of the best and his power of de- scrlptlon was remarkably we'll de- Veloped. He was, however, blas- phemous, he made statements that grated on the nerves of the Christian and the churchgoer and when he held everything religious up to ridicule, as he usually did, 1t was unpleasant to listen to him. He made a num- Der of addresses, however. which showed the other side of his life. His address on "NapOleon' and on the "Nolunteer Soldier" are gems in their way, are often quoted as among tho best ever heard, while his nominating speech of Blaine for the presidency in republican national convention and his address before the New York legislature on Roscoe Conkling are also remembered as great efforts in the line of oratory. Sunday has never said anything that approached ! those addresses In brilliancy and sen timent and it Is no injustice to say that men with better educational 1 training than he and who make ! business of making public addresses have all fallen short of the eloquence of the great atheist on these subjects

Motor RuSSCS.
(Chicag go Tribunc.D

It needs only a little good judg- ment and a little common sense in the urgcnce of the motor bus pro- posels and in the consideration of them to assure for the city a new method of transportation which will be enjoyed by thousands of citizens.
 Where the advocacy of them be- comes lunatic it is the point at which they are urged as a complete remedy for existing defects in the street car system. If we are to go off at this tangent we might as well ba offered wheel chairs and sturdy puShcrs to solve the question of getting to work and homo again.
 A motor bus using the boulevards would realize an ideal of intramural transportation Instead of taking the least agreeable it would take the most agreeable route downtown and back again. It would command view of parks and of the most hand some thOroughfares. In London and Paris the stranger within the gates can get comfort and d certain esthetic enjoyment on the roof of a bus tra- versing the handsOmest parts of these cities. The service would be Valua ble as an auxiliary. It would in a small measure felleNG congestion. As a. cure for congestion such service is udicrous. It cannot occupy the service streets without interfering with the organized system of trans portation.
 We cannot have more congestion as remedy for congestion but we can make a rational use of the motor bus. It is a lunatic thing to suggest that any part of the city's traction fund, which, if it be rightly admin istered and if it be not now invested hOpelessly in tax anticipation war rants, ought to be used in subway construction, be diverted to the pur- chase and operation of municipal mt mOtOr bus lines.
 That fund has well understood purpose. 1t is not to be dssipated on Vagaries.

Never Heard of a Famous Man.

(WaShingtOn Corr. Brooklyn Eagle. ) Senator Lodge holds to the opinion that the average American citizen reads only the headlines in the news. paper and goes little further, while Congressman Gardner, his son-in-law, insists that the average American reads very thoroughly those things in the newspapers that interest him and refuses to read those things which do not, no matter what the h eadlines may be. The senator and MT. Gardner were discussing this question recently. and MT, Lodge proved to be very tena- cious of his opinion.
 You read the newspapers, don't your" asked Gardner.
 Certainly" replied Senator Lodge
 DO you read them thoroughly"
 II believe I do"
 Did you ever hear of Connie Mack? 2" inquired Gardner.
 "Connie Mack?" repeated Lodge.
 Yes, Connie Mack"
 You mean Norman Mack, don't you?"
 T do not. l mean Connie Mack"
 Il do not think I ever heard Of him. replied Lodge, after a period of thought.
 And still you assert that you read the newspapers thoroughly" re- marked Gardner.
 But who is Connie Mack?" in quired the senator.
 He is a person." declared Gard ner impressively, "who Is probably better known to several millions of American citizens than Henry Cabot Lodge.

is their own fault. They have in f1ated ideas of the value of their tal- ents. The tenor in question has no right to ask a salary of $500 a week when he is worth about One-quarter of that sum weekly for light opera. Under tie circumsta he cannot cN- pect to he engaged by any manager. He is laboring under a gross miSap- prehenslon as to the value of his ser vices in light opera, and there are many artists walking Broadway who are in d similar predicamcnt. 1t is the heighth of folly for capable aC- tors, or singers, to refuse work be- cause they cannot obtain engage ments at preposterous salaries, and in such cases it is impossible to feel any sympathy for them.

The war has lasted six months and the end is not yet, in fact it is not in sight. Some thought 1t would not last long, that the engines of destruc- ton were so great that the killing would soon destroy the armies and that it would soon come to an end by reason of the terrible fatalities, but thousands upon thousands have lost their lives, an even large number have been maimed and the struggle is still in progress. There is no tell ing when it will end, but the affected countries will be a long time recover ing from it.

There was and is absolutely n1 justification for such an increase in property valuations in Ansonia and it is hoped that. when the facts are real ized by the state board, the injustice to the city will be remedied.
