I have been reading about men an
nouncing their change in politics and
their vote. SO far in Wichita there has
been no change. Anyone who cared 10
knows that they have not voted any
other way for years.
Did you ever study peoples fads?
Every man and woman you meet has a
fad Of some kind-something that they
especially dote upon, because they think
it attracts other people to admire it. 1t
encompasses every imaginable and con-
ceivable thing. You have one.
Politics has got 70 a mighty low ebb
with man who, failing TO get nomin-
alton fro mthe party he claimed to be-
long to- turns around and hires out TO the
other side to work by the day. OF course
a, man like that could not get a nomina-
ton. and still he wonders why. But his
neighbors don't.
I think IL decidedly poor taste for
trolley party TO yell and screech and
howl like a band of Comanche Indians
as they pass along the streets frighten-
ing teams and annoying sick people. A
string band or the singing OF national
airs and patriotic songs would be much
more appropriate.
Did you ever think to study peoples
faces as you meet them on the street?
The grave. the gay. the stern, the sour,
the abused look. the defiant look, the
cringing look, the forlorn look, the look
of goneness. the curious look, the care

The milk wagon drivers are about as
big a nuisance as the express wagons.
The wagons boxed up, the drivers fenced
in behind they go tumbling along re
CARELESS Of anybody or anything. The
milk mans team was knocked down by
the electrical street railway simply be-
cause the driver was not where he could
see or hear the warnings that were given
him.

There are about two hundred and fifty
travelling men that make Wichita their
home or headquarters. The handsomest
lot Of men we know Of are the travelling
men. They all have handsome wives or
sweethearts. Travelling as they do gives
them ample opportunity TO select the
creme de la creme Of the country. Since
the question was raised in this column OF
