Because Shelley was q vegetarian GER
tain of his admirers propose to show
their devotion to him by dining after the
vegetarian manner. The force Of hero
worship can scarcely further go. It
case OF "love me, love my dog"-admire
my poetry end respect my diet. 1t is
not certain that all lovers Of verse would
care to carry out this principle; some of
the poets had rather eccentric tastes in
the way Of food and liquid. Byron, for
example. professed to live on very mea-
ger and unsubstantial fare. Because q
poet is dyspeptio are his followers to
pretend to be dyspeptics also3 This
seems an excess Of enthusiasm.
We do not say there is not something
appropriate in emphasizing the connec-
ton between Shelley and vegetarianism.
Shelley's dietary goes long way to &C
count for the general qualities Of his in
tellectual products. His verse has much
of that thin, pale, washed out look
which the average vegetarian is apt to
exhibit. 1t lacks blood and solidity. II
suggests, II one may say so, an insult
ficient bodily nutriment. 1t is pardona-
BILE to believe that Shelley's verse would
have had more virility If it'had not been
brought up on vegetables.
But in this celebration Of the poets
why draw the line at their physical
nouIishment? Why not initiate every
thing characteristic Why not adopt
the same style of costume, the same
everyday habits, the same principles Of
conduct? Are the Shelleyites prepared
to follow their idol in every directioni
We fancy not. Shelley's theories of love
and matrimony. for instance, would be
uncomfortable things to carry into prac-
tice; they would not do credit to Shell
leyites or Shelley.-London Globe.

Detective Mcvey cannot help L. Hts
education is that OF bully. and when
opposed in his purposes q broken back
is the usual threat He Is charged
with usIng the language. 81 will
break your baok.s when Franz GinRle-
bach demonstrated against him taking
n dog out OF his house yesterday that
he had acquired and paid for In legal
manner. Asa few weeks ago the de-
tective went into the tax ol1ice as he
says by the authority OF the Attorney
General. and there said to q Republl-
can trying to pay his taxes. Cd
d-n you, would like to break your
back" we are foreibly led to the con-
clusiou that Detective MONEY! is some
what OF back smasher.
At the same time Mr.. Mcvey should
be impressed with the idea That back
smashing is not very reputable busi-
ness for refined Dem ocratic detsc-
tive tD be engaged In. He should re-
collect also that backs are very costly
articles. When mans back is broke n
it cannot be easily duplicated, as only
one back apiece is allowed for each
person. Backs are things that are not
left lying around indiscriminately nor
hung up In a store for sale. and Detec-
tive McVey should remember this
when lie starts out upon his expedi-
lions to capture Republicansa and dogs.
If Mr.. McVey would carry out his
purposes of back-breaking 1t might
result in increasing the number OF
people already too numerous, that are
spineless or in other words have no
moral backbone, besides such physical
deformlties would be unpleasant
sights to meet ON the streets. We do
sincerely hope that the detective will
curb his propensity for bavk-breaking
and turn his attention more to The
enforcement of law and order until
the Republicans get in power, when
they will put n sudden stop to back
breaking detectives.

therefore the latter wns not to blame
This Is very specious course OF rea-

writes Governor Reynolds. He is the
confidential friend OF the Governor.
He writes to him without any reserva-
ton: How is our mutual friend John
Dockerty making outf' How did Gov
ernor Reynolds know that John
''Dockerty" was Dickey's friend?
The Governor evidently knew his
man, and he was perfectly safo In com
municating with Friend Dickey"about
.'our mutual friend, John Dougherty.
The Governor knew or thought he
knew that such thing as offering a
pardon in exchange for votes was per-
fectly safe in the hands OF John T..
Dickey. Did the Governor suppose
that the letter would stop in the hands
not think so. He seemed to under
stand what it WAS for and he lost no
time in seeing John "Dockerty," and
telling him that he had a letter from
the Governor. in which he said no
would pardon his friend Calhoun and
he would direct Mr. Finek to give ii
to him II he would cali at the tax Office.
Mr.. Dickey did not seem to act like
throwing the letter into the fire and
writing to Governor Reynolds not to
write any more such letters. On the
contrary Mr.. Dickey carried out hi;
full part of the scheme just as Cover
nor Reynolds expected he would, ant
