Last week Ihad occasion to visit Newburg,
and while there some of my friends took me out
to see friend OF theirs, a former official of tho
Newburg Street Railroad Company. This gentle
man is u pigeon fancicr. and his particular fad
10 the famous fantail breed. Tho moment 1
caught sight OF coop full of these birds knew
what the something was that the young men of
the Citizens Union reminded me of. Now don't
laugh. Tho fantail pigeon Is a very beautiful
bird (when 1t is not on its dignity. So is a
Citizens Union boss, as any body will admit who
has seen one
Tho fantail pigeon is q bird with an exag-
gerated sense Of its own Importance.
am sure that my friends in the Citizens'
Union will. in their sober noments. when they
are uninfuenced by the ecstasy Of reform. agree
with me that this same exaggerated sense is
predominating feature of their own characters.
Again, the fantail is bird Of much dignity
when approached. why. when l approached
this coop Of fantails l could almost imagine
myself entering the familiar headquarters of
the Citizens Union and the august presence of
Statesmen Reynolds and Clark and Pine. Aye,
and of the great Seth Low himself.
Every bird in the coop rose up and puffed out
Its bosom and throw back its head. and some Of
Sosoms out so far that they tHmbIed over .ne ON
their backs. Many and many a time when
have entered the inner room in the head9nar-
ters of the Cts have seen this same swelling
out OF bosoms Many and many time have
feared for the backs of the young statesmen as
watched them swell up until they We're teeter-
ing back and forth on their heels Yes, sir, there
Is no question about 1t. the Citizens Union
birds are to the political world what tho
fantails are to the bird world. They are, in
short. the fantais of politics- say this in all
earnestness and not with any idea of ridiCuling
the young men. i mean rather to compliment
them. AS the fantail Is the proudest and most
beautiful Of the bird world. 30 also is the Cit Of
the political world.
This being the case, why wouldn't 1t be good
idea for the Cits to adopt the fantail for party
emblem They haven't any emblem now. They
must have one II they hope TO got votes in the
coming campaign.
The law provides for an emblem. The fantail
is just the thing. ! incose drawing OF one OF
these beautiful birds. Ii made when the bird
was on its dignity. No one who has entered the
inner room OF the Citizens Union headq quarters
will fail 10 in this picture the counterpart Of
the dignity he saw in that room. Trusting that
my suggestion will be received in the spirit in
" which il is offered and that we all may have the
chance TO vote for the fantail emblem, remain,
