Mamma, l believe the reason you get
such nice things here cheaper. is be-

You've read Jerry Simpsons predic'
ton of a panic next year?" said North
Main street business man yesterday, as
he watched the hundreds Of Christmas
bundles go tumbling over the counters
well, it wasn't this kind OF a panic,
he said, pointing to the hurried and mis-
rellaneous scurrying Of clerks, the jam
of customers, the hum and buzzing of it
all toned out and tinseled with creamy
single from the cashiers counter.
Jerry Simpson didn't believe there
would be any panic. There wasn't any
thing 10 warrant a prophecy or low
prices, a lack of employment for the Ia
borer, scant supply and consequent des-
titution. There isn't anything in the his
tory of the Republican party to indicate
any such results, and the turn of things
since McKinleyS' Inauguration is against
the probability OF a serious calamity.
"On the contrary it was the prospect
of dollar wheat, factory openings, re-
employed men, beef and buoyancy al the
workingman's table, and the general
good turn Of things that drove Jerry
Simpson TO the desperation Of trying to
call the turn on fate.
''Now mark this. Every prediction
Simpson made last year on the stump IN
his campaign against Long has turned
out diametrically opposite to promise.
Look here" and the business man pulled
a card from his pocket on which he had
noted from the speeches he had heard
Simpson make at different points in the
district. Holding the card in his left
hand he swung the index finger of mis-
right in parabola and brought it down
on the card with a whack, and said:
Il heard Jerry Simpson say in his
speeches myself:
That wheat would be down to 4oc a
bushel If Mckinley was elected
That wheat and silver would go down
together if Mckinley was elected.
THAT the number of idle men would
be doubled within a year If Mckinley
was elected.
That there would be big bond issue
within three months if Mckinley was
elected.
That the army OF tramps would have
III TIC iltSl year Al IhN-
Kinley was elected.
We'll, those predictions have all gone
up the f1ume, and Jerry long ago saw
that he must follow if ne couldn't fudge
on the situation. Judge Mckay is fight
ing him in Harper county, Railroad
Brown is fighting him in Pratt, Iron
Jaw Brown is fighting him in Kingman.
There are two candidates for his place
in Sedgwick county. His predictions are
TO his plans now as a north wind and
rain TO a Fourth Of July picnic. He sees
the woodbine taking a nlossy and luXuri-
ant hold. He wants TO go back to coT-
gress and the only hope he has is in a
panic and his own prediction Of IL. The
panic without the prediction would do
Simpson no good on earth. He doesn' t
think there will be a panic His predic-
ton is only a deformed hope, the para
lytic offspring OF an atrophied political
career. IF there should come a panic as
he predicts, all the Browns in the dis
trict and the McKays, nor no other force
could stay his following; but he's dead
If il doesn't. He has everything to gain
and nothing 10 lose. That's why he
made the prediction He's beat without
the panic and the prediction. The panic
alone wouldn't save him. He knows that
and snaps at the straw"
