Men and Their Shoes.

Some say men are like their shoes,
Since they both have a sole to lose.
But here is where the difference lies:
If shoes lose soles, there's new supplies;
If men lose souls, there's signs and cries;
But lose, man can't, until he dies.
Now men and shoes they say are tanned;
The men, when boys, with switch and hand
When men, oft from the scorching sun;
While tanning shoes with bark is done.
OF shoes, one right, one left, are pairs,
Oft men are left in love affairs;
Nor are all men with mates complete,
But both are said to go on feet.
They both need heeling, I've been told;
Both men and shoes are bought and sold;
In heeling shoes they use a last,
But healing men is quite a task.
In selling and In buying them
A difference there we find again;
Some sell for silver, some for gold,
But both in time must turn to mold.
Shoes, like men, are both large and small;
They oft can cause great men to fall;
When polished both are said to shine,
But both peg out in course of time.
All men have ties, some get the hooks,
In searching round for dainty cooks.
So, girls, be careful how you choose
When getting men, or getting shoes.

In the last issue of the Commoner
Hon. W. J. Bryan says:


During the campaigns of 1896 and
1900, and the lesser campaigns since
the former date, the Democratic party
has found it's chief newspaper support
among the loyal Democratic newspa-
pers so often designated as 1.-The coun-
try press" With a few notable ex-
ceptions the metropolitan newspapers
classed as Democratic deserted the
Democratic standard and lent their aid
to the Republican party. But the de-
sertions from the ranks of .'the coun.
try press" were so few that they were
not noticeable. With a loyalty that
could not be swerved and an ability
that challenged the admiration of the
opposition, "the country press" rallied
to the Democratic standard and per-
formed prodigies of yalor. The
country press has ever been loyal,
and because of this every Democratic
newspaper that is embraced in this
designation deserves and should have
the hearty support of Democrats in its
community. A we'll edited local news
paper exercises an important influence,
not always visible to the casual obser-
yer, but always apparent when the
test comes. Hundreds Of such Demo
cratic weeklies and small dailies reach
the Commoner'S exchange table regu.
larry, and they are a constant source
Of inspiration. Let Democrats show
by their actions that they appreciate
the answering loyalty and ~tireless
energy of the Democratic newspapers
that have stood up for the party and
its principles in the face of influences
that have corrupted SO many metro
politan dailies. The local Democratic
newspapers deserve a great deal more
than they usually get. Now let Demo
Gratis see that their local organs get all
they deserve.

SOLOMON BRILL, an old gentleman
known to this section in Its earlier
days, had a favorite saying: "There's
a good deal Of difference, In the eye oil
the law, between-'Come out o. my
house, MIR. Mccarthy, and Mr. Nc.
earthly, come out o. my house." To
which aphoristic text desire to append
the following elaboration By the st.
Louis Chronicle:
What is the differencep
Some weeks ago certain coal mining
gentlemen OF Pennsylvania notified the
Governor of that State that certain
coal-digging persons were threatening
the lives and property Of their fellow
citizens.
BY order Of the Governor an army
OF State troops was at once poured into
the region and was kept there at pub.
lie expense to guarantee '.life, liberty
and the pursuit Of happiness TO the
people Of Pennsylvania.

The Venezuela Question.

The Venezuelan situation is by no
means satisfactory to ~peaceably minded
Americans who believe in the Monroe
doctrine. For the invasion of Venez-
uela by Great Britain and Germany
has raised the alternative OF a war be-
tween this country and those powers,
or a back down from the Monroe doc
trine by this country, to the level OF a
reasonable probability. Should the
assault which Great Britain and Ger
many have made upon Venezuela ripen
into war, as now seems highly prob
able, they are almost certain to do
something either in the prosecution or
the settlement Of the war which would
give them a footing upon South Amerl-
can soil in c~ontravention OF the Mon
roe doctrine. We should then be
obliged either to acquiesce or to fight.
Even the possibility o. that alter
native might have been avoided by
polite diplomatic limitations from
Washington. What Germany and
Great Britain are trying to do is to
collect private debts by ultimatums
and ships of war. This should be
abhorr6nt to American sentiment, and
those governments should have been
so advised. Had they been notified
that the United States could not con.
slider, without concern for the integ-
rity of the Monroe doctrine, an attack
upon a weak South American republic
by powerful European m~onarohies for
such a cause, they would not have
made the venture.
But how will it be under the cir
cumstances as they existp The United
States have assented to the var which
the European powers have now begun,
and in asserting they have made only
the bare condition that the Monroe
doctrine shall be respected. With
that encouragement from the United
States, tor encouragement it clearly is,
Great Britain and Germany have be.
gun a conflict In which, should it pro.
gress very far, they would do more
than destroy Venezuelan ships. They
will occupy Venezuelan soil and &C.
quire Venezuelan territory. When
this has been done, an intimation oil
displeasure from the United States will
come too late. 70 recognize such an
intimation at that time would neces.
state a backdown on the part O
the invaders, which they in their
military pride and the consciousness
of having acquired a foothold, would
not for a moment consider. Thence,
forth the responsibility would be upon
the United States of deciding whether
10 modify the life out of the Monroe
doctrine or to become the aggressor lie
making war. Neither Great Britain
nor Germany has a record at all re.
assuring for getting out of countries
which they have once got into.-Tht

No MAN possessed Of common sense
but will utter a hearty amen! to the
following, taken from the Post Dis
patch. The fees for the insurance of
property against fire have, of late
years, not been based upon what is
right and just, but upon how much the
insured will ''give up" and the
grossest discrimination often rules.
The insurance companies have formed
an iron-clad trust, and competition has
been completely knocked out. The
State, if it have the rightful power,
ought to interpose between the citizen
who insures and the insurer, to the
extent that the former shall not be
"held up" by the latter:
The arrogance and ignorance of
some of the men and the organs repre-.
senting the insurance business in this
State is appalling. They assume that
anyone who critlcises insurance meth
DDS or opposes any proposition in
favor of insurance companies is either
a fool or a knave. The Post Dispatch
thinks that some provisions of the in
surance laws of this State are unwise,
but we do not think that insurance
companies are philanthropic associa-
.:,z, -. +Io4 A.. ,rL.1o 1ao;a1a+;-o I'D
legal machinery of the State should be
used to manufacture special privileges
and profits for them. The indefensible
methods of the insurance companies
themselves have been responsible for
much OF the hostile legislation against
them. The Legislature should pass
laws fair to the people and the in
surance companies. Nothing more
should be conceded.
