1t has become apparent that no
American audience has any use for a
heckler A man making public
speech is generally In hall provided
for him and those who want to listen
to him. The rights are with the speak
er. The heckler is all interloper. gen
orally shows bad manners. and. with
the audience largely against him. the
applause Is for the speaker every time.
The fair play idea In America is that
every man should have his say without
interference.
In congress 1t takes mighty skillful
interrupter to get the best of the man
holding the floor. On the stump Ii is
well nigh impossible for the fellow who
interferes to get anything like a show.
for the sympathy of the crowd Is with
the other fellow.
Lansing an Exception.
Secretary Lansing is the only cabinet
officer that is not on the stump The
other nine have been out and will con
tinue for some time making speeches
for the administration. Secretary
Lansing has not been much OF poll
tician during his career. He has de
voted his time largely TO diplomatic
questions.
More Horses Wanted.
A practical man from one of the
western states says he cannot under
stand why congress should appropri
ate $37 900 for poultry and ostrich ex
periments and give scarcely anything
for experiments In horse breeding ant
the larger supply Of that very usefu
animal He says the scarcity of horses
ought to have aroused the agriculture
department and congress to the neces
sity Of giving more attention to horse
breeding. Perhaps the man does no
understand congress. Often the i'm
practical gets far better show than
something useful.
Governments Long Arm.
Western men are still protestin:
against the insistence Of the govern
ment In holding control Of public lands
even In small matters. such as road
ways and internal Improvements o.

a road Is constructed across govern

He Is "UnsCrambling The Eggs"
Scrambled In 1912.
MAY Be MIXED ELECTION
Hughes May Win and Have a Demo
cratic Congress, a Situation Which
Has Been Unknown Heretofore
American Audiences Have No Use
For q Heckler.
BY ARTHUR w. DUNN.

Washington, Oct. 2S.-[ Special. i
Trying to unscramble the eggs" Is
the term used to describe the efforts
of different Republicans just at this
Juncture. The chief figure in this task
Is Colonel Theodore Roosevelt He is
trying his best to "unschamble the
eggs" which he helped 10 scramble"
four years ago.
The idea Is that the bolt OF Roose-
welt and the split in the Republican
party in 1912 are the causes of the sit
uation which that party faces in 1916
and that, In spite OF all that has been
said and done, the Progressives are
not all back in the Republican fold.
The effort OF Roosevelt to get them
all back shows how intensely he must
dislike President Wilson, for up TO a
few months ago he was confident that
he would never come back to the Re
publican party unless the party put
him at the head of that organization
as its candidate.
