Decorah public opinion. (Decorah, Winneshiek County [Iowa]) 1895-1928, 1899-10-18
A Thrifty Statesman.

'soscShious
During the past week William Jen-
nings Bryan has been making a polit-
ical tour of the state and speaking for
the Democratic ticket. Reports from
his meetings do not indicate that he is
creating any large amount Of enthus-
iasm for the Fred White aggregation.
OF course, he makes much Of the dam
gers of imperialism" and says as
little as possible about 16 to 1. That |
is what he is here for, and, incidental |
ly, to draw a snug sum out of the |
treasury of the Democratic committee |
for each speech.
Mr.. Bryan's enthusiasm for the !
rrause is not altogether spontaneous. It's
spontaneity may be said to be good
counterfeit Of the Obsequiousness of
| the waiter at the cheap restaurant
when he is looking for good-sized tip.
1t is said, however, that in some in
stances Bryan insists that the tip be
paid before he will serve the viands.
Over at Canton, Ills, the other day
Bryan was advertised to deliver an
address for which he was to receive
the snug sum Of 5000. When the time
came for the speech there was delay.
The speaker was on the ground, but
did not seem in any hurry to mount the
rostrum. In the meantime there was a
scurrying around among the managers,
and after a quarter Of an hour or so a
man arrived, all out Of breath, and
handed the eloquent statesman a roll
which he placed in his trousers pocket,
and then began his speech. The roll
contained 5000, and it transpired that
| Colonel Bryan had kept the audience
| waiting until his stipend was forth
coming. Besides being thrifty states
man, Bryan is smooth one. He
knows that the Bryan fad will not last
long and he is determined to make the
most of it as long as it is workable.
Important Notice to Township Commit
teemen.
Chairman Weaver Of the Republican
state central committee is using every
effort to secure the most thorough Or
ganization possible. 1t is the desire
| Of the committee that each county
should be organized down to the school
| districts and that the state committee
as the head Of the organization In the
| state, should have a list Of all the
precinct committeeman in the various
counties. If the county committee
men will remember the Importance of
such a perfect organization, they will
certainly be willing to cooperate with
the state central committee in secur-
ing it. Blanks have been sent out from
committee headquarters in Des Moines
asking for this information and most
Of the counties have responded. There
are, however, some counties yet lack
ing and Chairman Weaver is anxious
that the missing precinct committee
men be reported at once. County
chairmen should bear in mind this re-
quest and see that it is complied with.

One day the Fox called on the
Ground Hog and said he had long
wanted to do him favor to show his
appreciation. The time had now come.
In walking about he had discovered
something good, and was only too glad
to put his friend on to it. The Ground
log followed him to a thicket mile
away, and beheld toothsome bait at
tached to stick.
There it is" said the Fox. and
though I'm a bit hungry won't ask
you to divide. Just walk up and help
yourself"
The Ground Hog advanced to seize
the bait. but before his nose touched
it he found his fore-feet in trap.
ALAS! but I'm gone Ground Hog!"
he cried after a vain struggle to free
himself
yes, it does look that way" replied
the Fox. as he seized and devoured
the bait.
But what am l to do?"
Dunno. l let you in on the ground
floor, and have nothing further to say
about it,
Moral.-When you get something for
nothing, there's always back-action
about it.
Once upon a time a Clam who had
for some time felt that seashore life
was not worth the living decided to pay
a visit to the Sage. Having arrived in
the presence of the wise man he drew
a long breath and began:
20 Sage, l am come to ask a great
favor OF you. AS Clam l am an OBJ
ject of r1dicule, and the funny man Is
always cracking jokes about me. l
want to be transposed into a bird"
The Sage, who was a man of great
kindness of heart, and had a fellow
feeling for CLANS, waved his hand, and
the Clam took wings and flew away.
He returned in about an hour, however,
to loudly complain:
20 Sage, as Clam I had to only
put UP with ridicule, but as a Buzzard
am the object of everybody's con-
Tempt"
"Well, then" replied the Sage, "be-
ing as you are neither satisfied to be
Clam nor a Bird. I'll make a Snail
of you," and he forthwith gave him
soft she'll and curled him up in a sand
hill.
Moral.-In trying to be somebody
else, we may be worse off than before
1t happened one day that the Rhi-
noceros encountered the Giraffe on a
plain stretching away from a forest,
and having been up late the night be-
fore and feeling in ill-humor he growled
out:
IF / had neck like that I'd go
hang myself"
20 you would" retorted the Giraffe,
who had just been snubbed by the
Elephant and felt sore about it. eff I
had snout like yours I'd go away and
be hog!"
Don't sass me. old sky-scraper!"
And don't try to bully me-, old
squat!"
III have the law on you for SLAM
1er!"
And I'll make this cost you ten
thousand dollars damaged"
Get out of my way.'
