HE DEFEATED HIMSELF


HISTORIANS lay the blame fol
l. l. James G.. Blaine's defeat to q
number of men. But the fact is thai
Blaine defeated himsef-with the
aid of Roscoe Conkling.
1t started when both men were
young congressman. One day in
1866 the New Yorker, who had been
lording it over the lower house, be-
came engaged in a dispute with
the Maine representative and de-
clared haughtily: IF the member
from Maine had the least idea how
profoundly indifferent I am to his
opinion upon the subject under de-
bate, 1 think he would hardly take
the trouble to express it."
Blaine rose and, facing Conkling,
delivered this speech: LAS to the
gentleman's cruel sarcasm, I hope
he will not be too severe. The con-
tempt of that largs-minded gentle
man is so whiting; his naughty
disdain, his grandiloquent swell,
his majestic, supereminent, over
powering turkey gobbler strut has
been so crushing to myself and
all the members of the house that
l know it was an act of the great
est remerity to venture upon a con-
troverSy with him. But, sir, l know
who is responsible for this. 1t is
not his fault. 1t is the fault of an
other. That gifted and satirical
writer, Theodore Tilton of the New
York Independent, spent some
weeks in this city recently. His
letters published in that paper en-
braced, with many serious state
ments, little jocose satire, part
of which was the statement that
the mantle of the late Winter Da-
Wis had fallen upon the member
from New York. That gentleman
took it seriously and it has given
his strut additional pompoSity. The
resemblance is striking. Hyperion
to satyr; Thersites to Hercules;
mud to marble; dunghill to dia-
mond; singed cat to a royal
Bengal tiger; whining puppy to
roaring lion"
That brief talk-it took only two
minutes-ruined Blaine's political
career forever. 1t completely
squelched Conkling but it pierced
his vanity to the roots. From that
moment he hated Blaine and for
the next 20 years devoted himself
to thwarting the 'Plumed knight" I"
Twice he kept the New Englander
from getting the Republican nom-
ination and once contributed to his
defeat at the polls in November.

ROORBACK

4 S election time nears, watch
\ out for ''roorbacks" - those
campaign lies which are circulated
in the last few days of campaign
by partisanS of one candidate to
discredit and perhaps aid in de-
feating another candidate. We've
had such canards IL every political
campaign since the days of John
Adams but it wasn't until '844
that they were given their distinc-
tive name.
On August, 21 of that year a let
ter was printed in the Ithaca On.
" Journal hich asserted that
James K. Polk, the Democratic
candidate, branded his slaves with
his initials as though they were so
many cattle. Other abolitionist
journals promptly reprinted the let
ter to sway sentiment in the North
against the Tennessean and it was
as promptly denounced by Polk S
supporters.
The editor of the Journal was
attacked viciously and he retaliat-
ed by starting libel suits against
his detractors. He declared that
the truth of the statement could
not be doubted, since the authority
for the statement was book which
had received the appreciation of
every American critic" 1t was
Roorback's Tour Through South
ern and Western States in the Year
1886" and Roorback was foreign
observer with no personal inter
ests and no friends to f1atter More
over he had written his book long
before Polk was candidate for
President.
But Folks friends soon proved
that the whole thing was a hoax.
They showed that the alleged quo
tation from Roorback's Tour" had
been lifted from George William
Featherstonaugh's Excursi n
Through the Slave States" Aft
er giving verbatim this English
mans description of slave trad
er's encampment, the author of
the letter to the Ithaca Journal
had added Forty of these unfor-
tunate beings had been purchased,
I was informed, of the Hon. j. K.
Polk, the present speaker of the
house of representatives; the mark
of the branding iron, with the ini-
tials of his name on their Shoul-
ders, distinguishing them from the
rest"
After this revelation, the whole
''villainous forgery was investi'
gated, the editor of the Ithaca Jour
nal was exonerated and the author
of the letter exposed as a Demo-
cratic officeholder, belonging to a
faction opposed to Polk. The ex-
citement over this incident died
down before the election but by
that time the fame of "Roor-
back" a man who had never ex-
listed, was firmly established and
his name has come down in history
as a synonym for political for
gerry or a lie in a whispering cam
paign. .'---'

Need of Solitude

A certain degree of solitude
seems necessary to the full
growth and spread Of the highest
mind; and therefore must a very
extensive intercourse with men
stif1e many holy germ, and scare
away the gods, who shun the rest
less tumult of noisy companies
and the discussion of petty inter-
ests.-Novalis.

ITALIAN AUTHOR
EXPECTED HERE
Giovanni Schiavo to Be
Entertained By Local
Organizations

Giovanni Schiavo, author Of the
book, italians in America Before
The Civil War" Is expected 70 make
brief stop In Waterbury, Thurs
day or Friday according TO inforn1a-
ton received by John DE Pastino,
president OF the local Italians-Am-
erican Federation OF Societies and
Clubs.
A committee Of local professional
and business men will give him
reception at the Hotel Elton, where
he will be interviewed by many
prominent persons In this city.
Mr.. Schiavo will stop here on his
way to New York from Boston,
where he Is doing research work for
future publications Of concern TO
Italian Americans. His book, "ltal-
ians In America Before the Owl
War" has aroused surprising In
terest among Italian American
students, inasmuch as many I'm.
mortant Italian-American historical
characters and their deeds are not
mentioned In American history text
books.
The educational committee Of the
local Italian american Federation
has circulated many copies OF the
book here and throughout the state.
Mr.. De Pastino says that II u
we're not for Mr.. Schiavos research
work, American would know very
little OF the contributions made by
Italians TO American history since
It's discovery.
For instance hardly anyone knows
that two Of the settlers Of the fam.

Machine Shop
The activities OF the machine
shop at Leavenworth are too de-

example OF the worth Of this DEPART

the fact that recent survey showed
that about eighty per cent Of last
years graduating class have been
employed by local factories. That Is
exactly the aim OF the machine shop
classes and with the present upswing
In employment In local factories, the
Leavenworth graduate who Is COM
petent finds little difiiculty In get
ting himself place to work.
Leavenworth high school Is fast
becoming one Of the most important
educational factors In the city. Its
registration during the past three
or four years has been steadily In
creasing as boys and girls who wish
to be technically trained for work
Immediately after high school re-
alize the benefits OF good technical

The varied scope Of educational
activities at Leavenworth high
school, Waterbury's only technical
high school, play a great part In
bringing this school to the fore In
connection with the local National
Educational Week program. In an
institution where such departments
as machine ship, o woodwork class,
a home making department, q
nurses preliminary course and an ex-
tensive sewing course form the ma
jor part Of the curriculum, there are
numerous things which necessarily
attract the eye Of the visitor.
Thursday Of this week has been
designated as visitors day at Leav-
enworth, although parents are free
to drop in at the school any time
during the week, and there Is no
doubt but that many parents will
be agreeably surprised at some Of
the work being conducted at the
school.
