Take away the creaking storm door,
Hide from sight the parlor stove,
Hang your ulster in the garnet,
Where the mice and spiders rove.
Overshoes no more are needed
Tan ones now are ali the style.
Toss your woolens to the beggars;
Don your cottons with a smile.

And the water S rubbish burn
All the relics OF cold weather
With naughty air we Il spur.

Mr.. Simon Wolf declares that

American. TINS will be news in

who so often have heard Mr..
Wolf make speeches to German
Americans, address Germans at
their festivals and associations, and
act as their leader. And now he
tells US that he does not know any

this sudden change that has taken

Baltimore Politics

In the Fourth Congressional dis.
trict of the city oil Baltimore the
Republican party has nominated
Hon, Chas. Schirm for Congress.
There seems to be much rejoicing
over this nomination at Republ
can headquarters. Senator Nc
Comas claims that Mr.. Scbirm,
who is a German American and
very popular in his district, will
have a walkover and easily defeat
the old Democratic war horse
Congressman Denny, Senator
McComas, by this statement,
shows his ignorance Of the politi-
cal itLatiou IN his own State, at
any rate with regard to the Ger
man vote. Schirm, although a
German by birth, has absolutely
no support among that class in his
own city. The Baltimore Come

paper in Maryland, is supporting
Congressman Denny for re-elec.

LeYh, who is a personal friend Of
the Democratic nominee and a

politics, is authority Tor it that
Denny will be returned regardless
Of opposition.
Schirm has injured himself with

Short Time andFun Dinner Pals.

Short Time and hull Dinner Pals.
While the Republican campaign
managers are harping on the full
dinner pail they should not forget
to look about the country at the
factories now running on what the
worKmen call rag time"-that is,
three and four days a week.
In the Pennsylvania anthracite
regions, where the Trust is restrict
ing production to maintain unnat-
ural profits, the miners are permit
ted to work two days a week for
about $3.50 day. Many Of these
miners have families OF eight and
ten persons TO feed. The 50 a week
is distributed among their hungry
broods at the rate Of about 4 cents
a day for each mouth. The in
spired effort of the Rockefeller
college president in Chicago to
live on IS cents a day is nothing
to this.
And cast your eye on the Re-
publican stronghold OF Massachu-
setts. In Brockton, in Lawrence,
in Lowell, in Lynn, in Haverhill
and the other man nufacturing cities
there are many factories running
on half time or closed altogether.
The great Douglass shoe shops |
have closed down entirely, throw
ing thousands out Of employment.
Ia New Jerse" the silk mills are
running on short time. The iron
and steel trusts have shut down
many Of their mills. They are
running others on half time and are
threatening to cut wages.
When the Republican party tries
to make an issue OF the "full dinner
pail" it sho remember these
things. Il should also remember
that full dinner pail on hall time
is full dinner pail on halt salary.
That the pail is filled is no credit
10 the Republican party. The
Workingman must eat, whether
working on half time or quarter
line.
But" the Republicans argue,
hall time is better than nothing at
ILL.," True enough; but stop the
silling Of industry and the control

matters would be better still.
