Cheer up, comrade; your brother has
gone to the Philippines to be killed and
you may get his job. This Salvation
army prosperity is the great hit of the
administration. See the philosophy?
Just look at the craftsmanship!
Here's a condition. 1t is two men and
only one job How shall we find labor
for them? Oh, that's easy; just kill one
of the poor devils. Any fool might have
thought of that. Wonder how Grover
missed it?
1t would not do to take the same
money that we are burning up in
powder and build few turnpikes over
the country with the labor that is be-
ing thrown away and killed in the
Philippines.
That would be paternalism, and it's
infernalism that we are "seekin' after"
But, never mind, the fool killer will be
around on schedule time. He always
comes. Fret not thyself because of evil
doers; neither be thou envious against
the workers of iniquity. For they shall
soon be cut down like the grass and
wither as the green herb.-Coming Ma

"A HOT TIME" IN BOYVILLE
A Burlesque Upon Prominent POlitic-
ians and the Present POlit-
ical Situation.

By Mrs Marion Todd, Springport Mich.
10 Dobbson is an aspiring youth of Ia
years. He has often heard his father
read of Mark Hanna and his ability to
run political machinery. He has listen
ed also with much interest to the feats
of Mat Quay and Tom Platt, whom he
admires, but Mark Hanna he looks upon
as the greatest man on earth and to fol-
low in his wake in coming years is the
height of his ambition. The best 10
could do at present was to play he was
Mark Hanna.
10 came to his class one day without
his lesson. His mind was filled with a
scheme.
He was going to organize party and
play he was Mark Hanna.
That evening he gathered his COM
rades upon the school grounds and pur-
suaded them that to organize political
party would be just the thing.
Said 10: Eyer know we've got ter
have some bosses in party, SO I'll be
Mark Hanna an, Bill, yer'll be Mat
Quay and JimIl be Tom Platt. Thatll
be enought ter run it, yer know"
Now the boys were impressed that
10 was not very modest in waiting upon
himself without being asked to the big
gest plum and several Of them declared
they'd be Mark Hanna themselves.
"No, yer won't any of yer be Mark
Hanna" said 10. I'm the one that
ought to be him. Didn't first think of
gettin' up a party? Then, I look more
like him than any the other boys. Amt
l fat? Why, Jim, yer'd be too long and
thin and yer freckled and got red hair
Here's picture of him." and 10 drew a
crumpled paper from his pocket and
held it up. Nov, bony fellers'd look
we'll playin' Mark Hanna, wouldn't
they?" said 10.
The boys crowded around to gaze at
the hero's picture. One thought he was
not very purity" another that he was
too fat, another remarked that the
check in his pants was lawful big" and

Yes, indeed, it was an outrage thai

him till they found that would do no
good, then they took their guns. "Give

rick Henry. My son, should die happy
If I knew you would emulate the spirit
of '76. I tell you old John Adams and
John Hancock and Patrick Henry were
made of the right kind of mud; you
couldn't run over them.
What do you mean by taxation with
out representation"
Why, parliament had the power to
levy taxes. and did levy them upon the
colonists, but she wouldn't allow them
any representative.
What is a representative, pa?
Why, we send men to represent our
interests in congress, and call them rep
resentatives.
We are laboring men, aren't we, pa?
Yes, my son.
How many men are there in the
United States, pa?
At the last census taken there were
16,94O,0O0.
How many of them are laboring men,
pa?
Oh, about three fourths of them, I
suppose.
And what are the rest?
They are divided up. Some are bank
ers, some lawyers, some doctors. some
preachers, etc..
How many bankers are there, pa?
About 10000.
How many lawyers?
About 10000.
How many doctors?
About as many as there are lawyers.
How many representatives are there,
pa?
About $50, besides 8S senators.

see, 100000 voters -three-fourths- of
them men who labor, that would be
100000. Every $4,000 voters has a
representative, that would be 240 mem
bers who are laborers. 10000 lawyers,
ha! they would have one representative
and a fraction, so would the doctors;
and the poor bankers. why, the poor
bankers only number 10000, they can't
have any representative at all. L
Oh, fudge, boy, that amt right;
Yes, tits, too; 1 guess 1 know how to
divide.
1 mean they are not divided up in any
such way as that There are 203 law
yers and eight bankers in the last con-
gress in the house, and 63 lawyer and
one banker in the senate.
Why, I thought you said there were
only $50 members in the last house?
So did. s
Then how many laboring men were
there among them?
Not single one, my son.
What! Twelve million laborers, with
not a single man to look after their
welfare and represent their interests,
and 2O3 lawyers to represent 10000 law
yers?
Yes.
I thought you said this was repre-
sentative government.
So it is, my son.
How can it be, when a majority Of
the lawmakers come from small fac
ton of the population? Didn't you say
the other day that it was natural for a

it, how can they look out for ours?
They are supposed to.
But do they? 1t is to our interest to
have laws simple, theirs to have them
complicated, so as TO make them busi-
ness. Didn't you say that lawyer got
you into suit once that cost you $1,0OO,-

sued you and you cussed him, he told
you that you ought to have had
