asymoathetic strikes have many ad-

appeals strongly TO those who, being ai'
reetly involved IN trouble. do not always
recognize the effect OF their action upon
the hubble mind but the past history OF
the labor movement teaches lessons that
should not be forgotten today. AS Tar
as my knowledge goes ! do not know
OF one solitary snmpathetic strike OF any

SUFFRAGE A FRANCHISE, NOT A RIGHT

In discussing the. pending poll tax amendment in
Texas, The Post has conended that the suffrage is a
franchise granted by the State and right Of citizen
ship according any rule principle Of
sociology The point Is admirably brought out in a
paper by Senator H. D. Money Of Mississippi in the
October Leslie's

In the face of this sound law and craftsmanship, op
ponents the poll tax amendment will hardly contend
further that it is violation of the right of suffrage
Consideration of the question resolves itself therefore
into matter of expediency
The design Of the amendment is to increase revenue
by enforcing collection Of tax already levied to purify
the ballot and exat citizenship If these effects are
conceded-and they will hardly be denied wholesome
influences at least-the wisdom Of the amendment is
clearly established.

Morgan whistled and beamed and was gay
and debonair' In the face OF this indlsput1-
Bile evidence, breathes there man win
sufficient temerlty to say that Morgan rs

HIM Nay. nay. To make such an alieGa-
ton would be to asperse the character OF a
great and good man who has proved beyond
the shadow of doubt that he can feel and
that his emotions are very easily stirred.
The public seems to be disposed to lie
rather too hard on Morgan, anyhow. He Is
only q wording like the rest Of rs, striy-
ing to get along on few hundred millions
q year. OF course he may grind this
masses beneath his heel as we would a
common worm. but what of that? There
Is q very easy way for the masses TO
escape being ground. All they have to
do Is TO amass few billions themselves
and then when Morgan attempts the grind
ing process they Gun grind back and maze
it q case of the uDDer and the neither
milestone, or of when Greek meets Greek,
of something Of that sort Why, then, all
these filings at Morgan. especially In view
OF the fact that be is afflicted with an
enlarged ripe-tomGto-like nose, as well as
an enlarged waletf WHY not pity him in
stead OF consuming him?
or course there are some people who
think the masses have another way by
which they may escape being ground
through the exercise Of their right of suf-
fr0ge, But Il Is plain TO even the most
superficial observer that these people are
old fashioned and thar their ideas are far
behind the times. should the masses sue
coed In electlng a democratic admiuiStra-
tion and thus do awav with Mr. Morgan
and others OF his ilk. who on earth would
we have to compose the real orlstocracy Of
the country2
That is a point to which the most se.
rious consideration should be given.

HER sHoppINo DAY.

HER SHOPPING DAY.
When mamma trundled OF 70 town,
70 purchase things she needed sore,
she left her hubby lying down,
And baby rolling on the floor;
And hub aycrred he guessed that be
Could care for the good.natured sprite,
So trot along ana she would see
That he would manage things all right
When baby cried for playthinss he
First gave her what was close Mt hand
Some books. a caddy full Of tea,
Some bows his wife called "Hoyiland,"
Got down his shaving mug and SOAP,
And mixed some iather for the elf;
a paper cutter; spread the dope,
And showed her how "a shave herself.
He kissed her called her all his own,
Got his tobacco jar for her,
The bells from or the telephone,
The clock that she might hear It whirr
His watch charm and his watch we're hers
Her mothers silver toilet set,
And rings. and exc her winter furs,
And other things which I forget.
He opened wide the bookcase door
And handed a hand mirror down;
'"S S""NNu the HOOKS out on the hVot'
And squealed and acted Ike a clown
To see the baby In the glass.
And laughed to see the darling creep,
And there ere long It came to pass
That tired out, she went to sleep.
Then pop mamma at the door.
and WHISPERED, "Hush! for babe'
asleep"
He said She's sleeping on the floor.
She's been as good as she could choep;
Just hnsnt bothered me at all;
The little tike's just full Of playw
She tlntoed In and saw It all,
And then she tainted dead away.
