THE Waste Of a Nation" WAS the
subject of a brilliant address by the
Hon. Franklin H. Wentworth Sunday
evening at the Open Forum session
held in the Universalist church un-
der teh auspices of the Augusta AS
sociates.
In accordance with the custom
for this year Mr.. Wentworth spoke
on one of the phoses of the economic
life in America and was fully ca
pable Of handling his subject. "The
Waste OF the Nation" has to do with
the fire hazard and its consequent re-
suits and no one in the country is
more able to speak on this than Mr..
Wentworth. He is secretary Of the
National Ere Protection Association
and has travelled extensively in the
pursuit of his work and has spoken
before many well known organiza-
tons on this subject. Without haste.
gestureless and apparently unimpas-
stoned the speaker put forth an un-
smiling stream Of business sense
that held the audience to the end.
Mr.. Wentworth was the original
lecturer secured for this meeting but
owing to an illness it was at first
thought that he would not be able
to be present and at the time anoth-
er speaker was secured. Fortunate
~ Mr.. Wentworth recovered suffi-
GENTLY 10 be able to make the trip
from Boston.
The meeting was presided over by
the president Of the Associates. Hon.
G. Walden Smith. who spoke briefly
on the merits Of the Forum sessions,
its AIMS and it's future plans.
The session was opened by the sing
ing of America" by the audience led
by choir Of eight voices. The quar-
tet. consisting of Florence Moody,
soprano. Catherine Burleigh. contral-
to. Keith Ryan tenor. and Samuel
Titcomb. bass. sang two anthems. fol-
lowwed by solo by Keith RYAN, all
Of which was genuinely enjoyed.
The speaker Of the evening was in
troduced by the presiding officer. At
ter the address a question period was
announced during which those who
wished to ask the speaker any oues-
tons regarding his address might
gain a knowledge on the subject in
which they we're in doubt. The ses-
sion closed with a hymn.

pectations was present, and gave an
address on The Waste Of Nation

committee received word that Mr..
Colyer had been arrested at his home

agents as a Red, and consequently
would not be able to fulfil his engage
ment. Pre1. Roberts was secured as
the speaker. He took for his sub
ject the present condition between
capital and labor or rather as he fin
ally. expressed it between labor and
situation. His address was filied
with interesting points. At the close
both speakers were asked several
questions bearing upon their re-
marks. In response to one suestio.l
Pres. Roberts stated that he though,
the public discussion of the so-calleJ
Plumb plan should be had in all rail-
road centers of the country. AskeI
what would become Of the educate

this form if Mr.. Wilson had fakeI
