THE JOHNSON CARAVAN

Desperate cases demand desperate
remedies, and, facing a Republican
majority of 5O,OOO which he expects to
overcome, Hon. Tom. L. johnson of
Ohio doubtless feels justified in the
adoption of the spectacular plan of
campaign he is now pursuing with
such signal success.
But it is a little peculiar. A cara
van of twenty men and ten wagons
conveys the Johnson place of meeting
from town to town. Arrived in the
town selected for the distribution of
Democratic doctrine the tent is pitch
ed, the seats arranged and Mr.. John
son begins his speech.
The horses that draw the wagons
and the wagons themselves bear signs
telling where the next speech will be
made, the men who accompany the
caravan wear uniforms, there is the
usual circus camp following of ven
doris of peanuts and red lemonade. the
usual racks of canes and buttons-the
last with the portrait of Mayor john
son. Nothing has been omitted that
will create interest in the caravan in
its triumphal journey through the
state.
And all this is having it's effect. The
people are attracted and interested
and they gather in the tent at night
when their evenings work is over,
quite as they do on other occasions
when the circus comes to
town" When they listen to
Mayor Johnson they hear dis
cussed in plain. blunt fashion, by
a man who understands thoroughly
the wants of the people. the things the
people desire to know.
1t must do good. There are ills from
which the body polite is now suffer
ing, especially in Ohio, and for these
the Democratic party offers a remedy.
1t is well for the people they should
understand what is to be given, so
that they can vote with intelligence to
accept or reject the cure. 1t is well
that this Information should come
from the fountain head of Democratic
doctrine in Ohio.
Under the circumstances the cara
van and the tent and the decorated
horses. even the peanuts and the red
lemonade, can all be forgiven. II has
been some time since dignity won an
office or gained a vote and the Dem
ocratie party in Ohio needs both.

King KaIakaua's Jag.

Cyclone punch is nearly as famous
among Philadelphians as fish-house
punch, though of less antiquity, says
the New York Press. Fish house
punch was brewed over 125 years ago,
just as it is brewed to-day. Cyclone
punch is so called because of the cy-
clonic speed with which it affects.
King Kalakaua was a model of sobrie-
ty until he made tour of the world
in 1881 and learned extravaganza and
high rolling from the potentates of
Europe. In Philadelphia he was in
troduced to cyclone punch at Doom
ers, in South Tenth street. Three
glassfuls will throw an ordinary Unit
ed States topper of thirty years stand
ing, copper lined and steel riveted I'm
agine the unsophisticated Kalakaua
with three! But he possessed many
of the best qualities of a king, and in
the ensuing jag was kingly.
A few minutes after Kalakaua left
the boys at boomers he was found in
the midst of great crowd at the cor
ner of Twelfth and Chestnut streets
climbing a telegraph pole and singing
the Hawaiian national anthem Find
ing the ascent rather difficult, he got
down, threw a handful of coins into
the crowd, and hailed street car
Shortly after he was discovered on ton
of this car, lying fiat upon his face
and reaching down from the forward
mood in an attempt to pull the driver
up beside him. Friends finally rescued
him and stood by him until the cy-
clone jag was under control To the
day of his death, ten years later. he
never forgot that experience in Pbila-
delphia where the boys called him

PRESIDENTIAL TOURS

The Boston Herald expresses the
opinion that the President of the Unit
ed States should not Swing around
the circle" as Mr.. Roosevelt has been
doing this fall. but should confine what
he has to say to the people to his mes
sages TO Congress. It would. be more
dignified, the Herald thinks. and be-
sides the President runs considerable
risk of losing his life by making hasty
trips from city TO city and town to
town meeting great crowds of people.
OF course, there is truth in what the
Herald says. President Roosevelt came
near losing his life at Pittsfeld and
President Mckinley lost his at the
Buffalo Exposition.
But some good flows from these has
ty trips. and there would be more if
the President should confine himself
to such topics as Mr.. Roosevelt dis
cussed in his speeches in North Caro-
lima on Tuesday. He spoke of his graf
ification at the good feeling existing
between the sections which had fought
each other more than thirty-five years
ago, of the genuine American charac-
teristics that were apparent every
where in the South. the necessity of
cultivating those virtues which make
good citizens and the industrial devel-
opment of the South. All of these
things pleased the people without re-
gard to their political affiliations There
was nothing in any of the speeches
calculated to arouse partisan feeling
Besides, the people were gratified by
seeing the Chief Executive of the ma
ton. Thousands who saw Mr.. Roose-
welt during his Southern trip had never
before, perhaps, seen a President of the
United States. If, therefore, President
should confine his speeches to topics
other than those of a political nature
the only objection to his Swinging
around the circle would be the danger
of losing his life in an accident or at
the hands of an assassin.
But such trips should never be made
electioneering tours. When the Presi-
dent of the United States takes the
stump he lowers the dignity Of
the great office which he holds.
He is President. of the whole
people, not of party. Besides, he sets
an example to other officials-officials
who are forbidden to take an active
part in political campaigns-to neglect
their official duties for the purpose of
assisting their party in political cam
paigns.
Only recently it became necessary to
direct the attention of certain classes
of office holders to the civil service
rules which prohibit pernicious politi-
cal activity. 1t is doubtful, however. if
any office holder is punished for activ-
lty In politics in violation of the civil
service rules in cases where he is able
to render his party good service.
The practice of Presidents of Swing
ing around the circle" is so we'll es-
tahlished that it is doubtful if it will
be abandoned. certainly not by Mr.
Roosevelt. His enjoyment of meeting
the people and making speeches is so
great that it would be hard for him
to abandon the practice.

From the Los Angeles Herald.
Sometimes you see a fellow with his
luck way UP in c.,
And you knock him;
You may have not thing against a
fellow such as he,
But you knock him.
It's just little yellow streak that
runs through lots O. folks
That makes us give our envied friends
those vicious little .aokes
But some day, when you see the man
that once was flying high
And notice discouraged look he car
ries in his eye,
When you see that Fate has nocl, al
him
Then will it give you pleasure as the
busy years go by,
Just to think that twas your knock
that knocked him?
Again; Sometimes you see a chap that
seems beyond all help:
And you knock him.
He seems to be so done-up like he
couldn't even yelp
So You knock him.
1t isn't meant for any harm, but some
folks seem to feel
That knocking is essential as a bar
rows only wheel.
But, see. That fellow hears the knock
he grts his teeth together
And starts right out to hump himself
in every kind of weather!
Seems that with some new sand YOU
stocked him.
Then don't you feel all sneaky. when
that fellow slips his tether,
Just to think you ever knocked MIN?
Now here's a rule: No matter what a
man has ever been or done.
Never knock him.
This knocking bonnces awful-by and
by you'll be the one.
Never knock him.
The Lord who made the universe can
run II yet awhile
why. you and | together couldn't .'un
II straight mile
Hen rule the world with justice. and
hen send FOR YOU ana me
The very day be needs us Ia his busi-
ness-wait and see.
No man that ever lived has ever
blocked Him.

1t is now denied that the young King
of Spain is insane or treats his mother
cruelty. An American woman who has
recently visited his country reports
that he is an exceptionally charming
and attractive boy 1t is to be hoped
that he possesses not alone these virtues
but in addition the weighty endow-
ment of good, hard, common sense. No
good American will wish Spain any
humiliation that has not come already
to her lot and she needs a King of
brains intelligence and character.
That Alfonso XIII is of this stamp is
much 10 be hoped.

We want to see all the Democratic
votes possible in the next Congress.
but we are afraid some of our contem-
poraries are gifted with a too sanguine
spirit. In Pennsylvania especially it
seems difficult to convince the voters
of the error of their ways ana despite
the horrible example constantly offered
for their inspection. they vote the Re-
publican ticket with discouraglng reg
ularity. Let US have all the votes we
can get, but an undue optimism is to
be avoided. 1t makes actual facts so
hard to bear.
