Every day publie | speakers deliver vast volumes of talk | {on which 'they have reflected very | | little beforehand, and on which no! one will reflect at all afterwards. An oid saying was that speech was giv- | le n to conceal thought, but it serves | 4 more useful purpose in concealing lack of thought, for thought is d:fri- cult and speech is easy. It may be taken for granted that | thg more men think the less they | speak, for the more they think the | more do they see the huge signifi- cance and danger of speaking. Es | pecially true is it that the more | exactly men speak the less they have to say, and, when they have some- | thing to say, they say it with an ex-| quisite and finished brevity, for brey- | ity has an eloquence of its own whicn carries weight and power. Of course, brevity can be carried | too far, may be awkward and -iu- complete and inexpensive. A speaker | may be brisf and tedious at the same time, It is not necessary to make brevity ridiculous, or to let it maka the speaker so. Nevertheless it ig n thing which should be practised ana cultivated, for it is a fact that spent- ers of all kinds would receive mors attention' if they said less. MISPLACED SYMPATHY There appears to be a certain amount of misplaced sympathy in connection with the case of the young penitentiary convict who last week was adjudged by a jury ag guilty of a brutal assault upon an officer of the law, and whe was given ten years additional imprisonment by a judge who is regarded as most sympathe- tic towards unfortunates, The records show that Rogers was sentenced at North Bay for the theft of goods from several stores there, also for stealing a number of fire- arms, such as rifles. and revolvers, and a quantity of ammunition. While in custody he broke 'jail and made bis escape. The night he made his escape he is alleged to have broken into a hardware store and stolen two rifles and a quantity of ammunition. He went to Capreol by the C.N.R. After staying there a short time, he went to North Bay, where he stols an automatic revolver from a store, He was arrested that night a short distance from Sudbury, where he tried hard to use his revolver. Whiie In North Bay, Rogers is alleged to Rave stolen a horse and tied it to a bush for several days, leaving it without food or water. He was also charged with shooting a cow which belokged to a tarmer out in the coua- try. : " The above constitutes a heavy Score against the young fellow, anc the average min would be inclined to say that he was criminally-inclin- ed to a very marked degree. But | that is not all. Twice within two years this yonug convict has nar- ckarge of murder, first for stabbing & guard and later for slugging an 'n- rowly escaped facing a jury on al spector. u He is now condemnbd to indicate he has failed to win over | the Venizelos troops in the Greek | atmy, notably the Cretans, wh» under the Venizelos regime were the backbone of the Greek military | establishment, { Quarrels have been occurring for several months past among ine | Greeks in various portions of the army, and the entire draft of the gen- ior officers at the front have been replaced by adherents of the Con- slantine party, drrespective of their merits as officers. Allied observers believe the Turks have a better general staff, with Ts- met 'Pasha, the superior in strategy of General Dousmanis, the Greek chief staff, both of whom were Ger- man trained. It is explained that the reason Grecks have bombarded Ineboli and other ports is that they were at: tempting to destroy important ar- rivals of Bolshevik artillery consign- ed to the Turkish nationalists. a.
