Hrvan.s Telephonic Address.

u
Friends and Fellow Citizens:
/ come not there to talk,
Because the Convention
Has business to transact,
And you know me,
But shall make
A few remarks to you
Over the long distance telephone.
A bloated monopoly
Whose exorbitant charges
Necessitate brevity
As painful to me
AS is its outrageous embargo
On my language!
Think, dear friends,
What speech you might have from
Your matchless leader,
II the iron heel of the monster
Did not lay its heavy hand
Upon my language works.
Godsl Can a Democratic Convention
Long debate
Which of the two to choose,
A Bryan speech
Or bill that would
PafalyZe all our tlme nOnofed
Principles of economy?
However, | digress;
And depression costs money,
Men and brethren:
Let me beg of you
That / am still
TT.
And that the Chicago platform
Is the same
yesterday, today and forever.
Keep that ever before you
As your cloud by day
And your pillar of fire by night,
But if you find it
Absolutely necessary to my success
To shade it little,
Just little, mind you,
That you do so
With my public protestation
And my private permission.
] am unalterable for
The great and glorious principle
Of 16 to |.
Also,
If any man attempts
TO run up the American nag
In the PHILIPPINES or elsewhere.
Shoot him on the spot
Them's my sentiments,
And if the Stars and Stripes
Don't want to get it in the neck
They win remain at home.
Liberty and good government
And that sort of thing
Are well enough in their way.
But its none of our business
To scatter them broadcast
over the world
As to my running mate,
! want the ticket
To be exclusively Western,
For the East is in the hands
OF Trusts, those menaces
To the freedom of the Republic.
That's the object Of the meeting,
Men and brethren,
And if we miss our connections
This time.
shall be compelled
To the conclusion
That you held
A few G. o. Piers in your midst
To show you how
The thing is DONE
My say is yet unsaid
But the hated monster
Presses on me and must stop.
Would that ] could
Talk to you as I wished,
But cannot
Under the circumstances
Farewell, dear brethren,
leave it all to we.
BE brave and fear not.

suFREE BATHING AND BARsERrNG

It is not generally known that Uncle Sam furnishes his legislators with bath tubs and other accessories of cleanliness, but it is nevertheless a fact. In the basement of the capitol are located the congressional bath rooms, where the statesmen cleanse their cuticle at the expense of the people. On the house side there are fifteen tubs, while the senate the number is somewhat smaller They are patronized Joy the states men at all hours. of the day. Attendants are provided at the expense of the goverm- ment. The fact that the bathrooms are almost constantly occupied indicates the extent to which the privilege of the free bath isa appreciated. Senators and members who live at hotels, where an extra charge. is made for bath usually wait until they reach the capitol to enjoy this luxury. Not only the statesmen furnished free baths, but barber shops are provided for their use. These are we'll patronized, as mo charge is made, and the lbarbers turn many an honest penny. They receive good salaries from the government, and at the same time get tips from their patrons.

OUR DUTY TO TnE PHILIPPINES

Jacob G. Schurman, in the Independent
 I sometimes say, "I am not imperial ist," yet I am not altogether certain that I know what that phrase means. But am not an anti-imperialist, if you mean by that the hauling down of our flag where we have raised it in the performance of duty. I be- lieve in upholding the national honor and duty. I do not believe that some who ad-- vocate abandoning the Philippine islands realize just what such policy would mean. We have put hands to the blow and we must finish the work. There we must stay and work out the problem before How iong a period that may be l do not pretend to say. It will certainly be num- Der of years. But we must help the Fili- pinos until they are able to govern them selves and preserve order and civilization on their islands.
