POLlTlC. al BASEI-BAZOUKS.
The Resemblance Between Turkish Sol
dicrs apd Many Voters.

The Resemblance Between Turkish Sol
diers apd Many Voters.
A war correspondent Of the New
York Journal in describing the passage
OF the Turkish troops through the
town of Salonica said the widest Of
h horde were Bashi Bazouks, and
were SO called because in public esti-
nation they were supposed to be men
who don't think but who fight reck-
lessly. The rest of the crowd must
have been equally without thought
but ore degraded, for as they march
ed through the streets they were OFF,
cered by men who carried a sword in
one hand and a whip in the other to
keep them in subsection.
What a resemblance there is between
these Turkish soldiers and many OF
our voters who belong to the old par
ties. Among them are thousands OF
political Bashi-Bazouks, who fight reck-
lessly and for corrupt political bosses
II do SO because they are men who
don't Think If they did think, they
would revolt and put men in Office who
would serve the people and not them
selves and the monopolists.
But the political Bashi-Bazouks in
the old parties are outnumbered ten
to one by the Observation-Disclosures
thelr-jcbs who are whipped and bull
dozed into line and forced to march
forward to their own undoing at the
ba!lot-boX. Just as truly as the Turk
ish conscripts are forced to so up
against the guns Of the enemy by the
swords and whips of their officers.
Let us hope that our Bashi-Bazouks
Will begin to think and that the others
will pluck up courage. Let us help
them to do so for our success in this
respect means the success of the party
and the salvation of the country from
plutocracy. and monopoly.

Mo,o Power to Jerry Simpson.

Jerry Simpson is still prodding Gear
Reed and demonstrating the fact that
he is not %groyeling at the feet of the
dictator. Monday before the vote was
taken resulting in sustaining the re-
fusal to appoint the committees,
among other caustic shots, Jerry said:
"The newspaper wits are calling me
an obstructionist, but the real OBJ
structionist is the speaker" Dingley
rose to a point Of order, but Jerry
paid no attention to him and con
tinued: What matters it if my re-
marks do attack the speaker? Is he
above attack? Must we grovel at his
feet and crave his mercy simply be-
cause he is speaker" More power to

Law IL Unlawful.

Judge Showalter of the United
States court decided that the law
making the street car fare in Indian-

people and against wealthy corpora

Park Avenue church, Syracuse, remov-
ed her pretty spring hat, and sat with
uncovered head throughout the ser

commencing her highly, and say that
the custom of removing hats in church
should be just as much of an item for
public comfort as it is in the theaters.

DishOnOred Drafts.

When the stomach dishonors the drafts
made upon 1t by the rest of the system, it is
necessarily because it's fund of strength is
verylow. Toned with Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters, it soon begins to pay out vigor in,
the shape of pure, rich blood; containing
the elements of muscle, bone and brain.
As a sequence of the new vigor afforded
the stomach, the bowels perform their
functions regularly, and the liver works
like clock work. Malaria has no effect
upon a system thus reinforced.
