The Ohio Democrat. (Logan, O. [Ohio]) 1886-1906, 1898-07-01

The intelligence of "rocker
tidy" goes beyond my ken. 1t
knows as much as some people; in
finitely more than congressman.
II will climb up on mans neck on
tour Of exploration and discovery,
and labor as assiduously as If seek
ing the north pole, and finally com
promises ON 'youl collar button,
evidently wondering where you
got it and whether IL Is paid for,
and If you buy any more goods at
the same place.
IF you have any warts on your
neck, which you have been trying
to hide by wearing high collar,be
sure the "tidy" will discover them
and cheerily inquire what you ex-
pect to do with them.
1t prizes into affairs that are none
of its business, with as much as
surance as book agent, and finds
out whether you washed your neck
last week or last summer, when
the water in Crooked Creek was
warm enough to go in swimming.
This quite frequently embarrass-
es me and makes me blush. The
next "tidy" L run across, however,
is not abashed, and repeats the
same trick until quite frequently /
get real reckless and make up my
mind to ride on the platform when
the cars are in motion if / want to-
1t will also occasionally creep down
my back to see if am ticklish or
not, and it is usually gratified to
find that I am. Thus we have fun
from morning till night.
II you have not a "rocker tidy"
about the house to get lost at the
most inopp6ftune moment, and to
get into every place imaginable
where 1t doesn't belong, and to re-
joice in getting there, and to laugh
behind your back when you have
been worked up 20 full-grown,vir
profanity, then say, you don't
know what fun there is in this
world.
There is only one distress, and
that is when you don't have thread
enough to keep Your wife busy
crocheting "tidies," for when she is
at that she hasn't time to be driv-
ing nails in the plastering or dig
ging up the lawn for flower beds.

come closer in reach Of the people.
We will start In next week and

their financial reach.
Those whom have paid in ad-
vance for a semi-weekly may come

better serve the people, serve our

SENATOR, HOAR insisted with
grea. earnestness in speech the
other day that the lobby is Of very
little use in putting jobs through
Congress. If this be true the Sugar
Trust and other combinations have
been spending a great deal of mon
in Washington as we'll as incurring
some risks for nothing.

SENATOR LODGE, in suggesting
that general law be passed to
eliminate professional lobbyists
seems to forget that there are al.
ready more laws on that subject
than have ever been put into oper'
alton. The way to kill the lobby
and to kill it dead, is to make the
business Improbable; and the
surest way to do that is to put
lobby-proofmen in the seats leg
isiators.
