INDIANAPOLIS. IND. Oct. 12.-The
Republican state committee has decided
TO abandon plans for a speaking cam
paign in Indiana before the election in

November and probably not then.
Rather than make plans for a speak
ing campaign and then have it fall

BETTER BLIND THAN DEAF"
Scientific Writer Points Out Why the
Former Affection is Less Hard
to Bear.

Scientists have shown that sound not
only informs the intellect, as does
sight, but that, much in excess of that
sense, it excites feelings-that is,
sound pure and simple has a specific
relation to feelings widely different
from that of sight.
It's primary effect was the creating
of moods, Margaret Baldwin writes in
the Atlantic magazine. This being so,
the simple fact is that sound has far
more to do fundamentally with origin
ating our emotions, or how we feel from
day to day, than has what we see.
1t should be said in passing, that
there is very little recognition of this
fact by the person with normal hear
ing. Sight and sound are SO inter-
woven for him that he does not dis
eliminate as to what belongs intrinsi-
cally to each in the province of feel
ings. 1t is only when the two are
clearly separated, as in deafness or
blindness, that experience takes note
of what belongs to the one and the
other
A scientific writer points OUT that we
can see with Indifference the with
ings of a suffering animal that is still,
but that. If there are cries of pain, it
produces emotions at once. We are
distressed. In reports of terrible ma
rine disasters, it is almost never said
by people that they can never forget
the sights they saw, but always that
they can never forget the cries of the
drowning.
Although one would hardly hesitate
to say that the excess of the blind
mans calamity over that of the deaf
man is sufficient to overbalance this
elemental function of sound to pro-
duce moods, yet the universal fact re-
mains that the blind are more cheerful
than the deaf.

Mr.. Ernest Amos, our efficient state
controller, has been in town the last
two days. looking after affairs at the
industrial school for girls. Mr.. Amos
reports the school doing very we'll;
SO well, in fact, that it is crowded to
its full capacity. There are forty
girls out there; all it will hold, and
most of them are tontented and pro-
crossing well in their studies. There
cannot be any enlargement of the
school until the legislature meets, as
it takes all the money appropriated
to carry it on. Mr.. Amos says the
boys school at Mariana is also
crowded, having 800 inmates. The
principal trouble with it is that there
is no provision to give so many boys
proper amount of teaching. The legis-
lature made a fairly good appropria-
ton for both schools, but war prices
have made it difficult for the manage
ment to make both ends meet in the
matter of groceries aid clothing, so
the booklearning for the boys has t.
be cut rather short. Both schools are
doing good work, and it is to be hoped
the next legislature will give them
the needed appropriation.

NOTHING BUT SHEER WISDOM
Possibly Aunty's Idea in Burning
Chicken Feathers Was to Destroy
CircumstantiaI Evidence.

The dainty and winsome heiress of
a Kentucky planter, recently graduated
from fashionable northern seminary,
was devoting the morning of the first
day of her return to the old homestead
renewing acquaintance with her ia
theirs darby retainers "down among
the quarters" As she entered one of
the cabins she saw old Aunt Martha,
born in slavery during the life of the
young lady's grandfather, bending over
a broad log fire, carefully burning,
piece by piece, bunch of chicken
feathers.
"Aunt Martha" inquired the young
lady, after watching the work of the
ex-slave a few moments in silence,
why do you burn those feathers so
carefully and Systematically? Is 1t be-
cause of some religious idea or SUI
perstition?''
mo Misstus Lucy" came the an
swer from the deliberate old woman,
as she watched the last telltale feath-
err crumple into nothing. "'Tain't no
1igion an faint muffin tub do wild no
sewpustishums. It's wisdum. Jes plain,
Out-an'-out, wiSdum."

Determining Age of Planets.

A novel idea in estimating the physi.
cal condition of planets was put forth
by M. Veronnet before the Academic
des Sciences at recent meeting In
Paris. He based it upon calculation
of the quantity of water that rocks
such as granite and porphyry absorb
before becoming perfectly dry.
He said that on the moon all water
has been completely absorbed by slow
diffusion as the rocks gradually cooled
Venus is still surrounded by thick
layer of vapor, while no water has yet
been condensed on the surface of Mer-
curry, this planet being still in con.
dition in which its geological life has
not begun, and consequently no clouds
have yet formed on its surface.
NJ. Veronnet calculates that the
rocks Of our earth now contain alb
sorbed water which would cover the
earth to an average depth OF about
400 metres.

FIRST THOUGHT is ISOLATION
Aviator Longs for Sound of Human
Voices When He Is Soaring Far
Above the Earth.

/ became conscious of feeling Of
loneliness, writes James N. Hall, In the
Atlantic. / remembered what j. B.
had said that morning. There was
something unpleasant in that isolation,
something to make one look longingly
down to earth; to make one wonder
whether we shall ever feel really at
home in the air. /, too, longed for the
sound of human voices, and all that
heard was the roar of the motor and
the swish of the wind through wires
and struts-sounds which have no hui
man quality in them, and are no more
companionable than the tapping Of the
waves would be to a man adrift on q
raft in midocean. Underlying this feel
ing, and, no doubt, in part responsible
for it, was the knowledge of the fall
libility of that seemingly perfect
mechanism which rode so steadily
through the air; of the quick response
which that ingenious arrangement OF
inanimate matter would make to an
eternal and memorable law, if a few
frail wires should part; of the equally
quick, but less phlegmatic response of
another fallible mechanism, capable of
registering horror, capable, it is said,
of passing its past life in review in the
space of a few seconds, and then
capable of becoming equally inanimate
matter.
