Election Aftermath

The politicians have had shak
ing up. There have been changes,
but nothing serious. We still con-
troll the senate by a large majority
and the house by good working
majority. Had the margin been
narrower, II would perhaps have
been better, as there would have
been less tendency to carelessness in
legislatlon-less danger of factions.
The results Of the election of state
officials is significant. In New
York, where Tammany pOlIed more
than its old time majority for the
democratic ticket, Hill has demon
strated that, pruned of Organism, the
old Democratic donkey is still quite
vigorous. 1t looks as though Hill
would have been stronger had he not
blundered with his coal plank, or
rather had not President Roosevelt
knocked the props from under the
soeialistic movement by the set
tlement Of the coal strike. AS it is,
though his candidate for governor of
New York was defeated, it can only
be considered a great victory for Hill
personally. But his mistake was
fatal. In his anxiety to gain a tenn
porary advantage by resort to demo-
gogic m measures, he sacrificed great
national opportunity. He may pos
sibly by the exercise of political sa-
gacity secure the democratic nomin-
alton for the presidency in 1904, but
he has rendered his election as inn
possible as that Of Bryan.
Tom johnson, with his circus cam
paign, demonstrated such absolute
unfitness for national leadership that
his nomination, except in a spasm of
idiocy on the part of the democratic
party, would be impossible.
Bryan, "sad relic of departed
WORTH" is no more. His own state
continues to roll up republican ma
jOrities.
Without an issue or a leader, the
democratic party is an object Of COM
miseration; their only hope a return
to the rotund shepherd at Princeton.
On the other hand, the result has
insured RoOsevelts nomination by
]
his own party, and viii check the
tendency Of certain politicians to
fight him because he is not subject to
their dictates. The Presidents pop
uIarity was appealed to, and with eff
feet, to save many shaky districts.

cance comes to my mind. Into a
poverty stricken and diiapidated
place a family once moved their
poverty stricken and dilapidated
belongings, which consisted Of a few
articles Of household furniture and
an old horse and wagon. Even the
common necessaries seemed to be
lacking in this home. When a piece
of coal was needed. one of the child
rem ran to the shed and carried coal
into the house by hand The cover
of tin pail was used to take up
ashes. the pail itself did service as a
disbpan. The children could not at.
tend school because they had no
suitable clothing, and the bill of
fare was limited to coarse and scanty
food. All this time the father went
regularly to his work each morning
driving away in his rickety wagon,
and returned the same way at night.
The impression obtained by be-
coming acquainted with the way in
which this family lived led one to
suppose that the father was one
of those unfortunate mortals who
find it necessary to toll at starva-
ton wages in order to put tho plain
est of food into the mouths of a
family of childen and their condi-
tion naturally excited pity.
But one night when the rickety
wagon drove into the back yard
some parcels we're taken out and
I unwrapped, and the children gath
cred around in admiring astonish
ment to gaze upon a new dishpan
Not many days later the wagon
came home with more packages,
which proved to be a shining new
coal scuttle decorated with gilt, and
a shovel, both of which we're used
by the proud children that very
same night.
But this was only the beginning
There came a day when a greal
unpacking took place from the OLD
wagon and the children ran bacl
and forth from the old wagon tc
the house carrying dishes, for a
dream of long months had been full.
filled and a new dinner set was
theirs. But the good times did no
stop even here. Suits for the boys
dresses for the girls, school book
and provisions were brought hom'
from time to time until a trans
formation had taken place in tn,
people of the miserable cottage
and the nelghbors said, "What i!
the cause of this sudden turn o
fortune? Is he not working at tht
same place? What's the secret o
this good luok?"
But secrets will be revealed, ant
when one Saturday night the oil,
wagon itself came home newl,
painted and shining like looking
glass, the children in sheer JOY erie
by way of explanation, "Our pap
hasn't drank a drop in three months
and he never will again"
Then the neighbors knew tn
secret of the good luck. They kne'
that the coal scuttles and dishpan
and clothing and dresses and pre-
visions that were being brough
: home had before gone into the bottle
They knew that the change in th
fortune of their neighbors too
