FEELING THEIR
BUMPS

A Chicago phrenologist has entered
what may he termed a new field of
comparative politics. He has been
studying the heads of Roosevelt, Par
!ler, Bryan and Hearst, and from the
summaries he makes of their chief
characteristics the matter would
seem to resolve itself INTO one of
paying your money and taking your
choice. Each man is credited with
sixteen distinguishing qualities, but,
naturally enough, the similarity
ceases at this point.
In the case OF Mr.. Roosevelt the
cranial expert makes use Of adjec-
tives in describing fourteen of his
qualities the other two being more
concretely specified Fifteen adj
jectives are used for Judge Parker
and one concrete expression. Mr.
Hearst is allowed nothing but adjec-
tives while Mr.. Bryan divides honors
with Judge Parker with fifteen adjec-
tives and one noun. To the President
is ascribed one negative quality. that
he is not q dreamer. Judge Parker
has two negative qualities, being
neither strenuous nor magnetic, we
are told. Mr.. Hearst, despite his
wealth of adjectives is declared to
be not oratorical. Mr.. Bryan, If we
may judge from the phrenologist's
characterization. is entirely positive.
There is but one political inference
TO be drawn from the results OF feel
ing the bumps of these distinguished
men. Oddly enough, this inference APP
plies to both Judge Parker and Mr..
Bryan. notwithstanding the opposing
elements of the Democracy which
they repres ent. Each of them the
pIrenologist declares to be home
lover. Whatever the result of the
Democratic convention >at st. Louis
may be there is no present nor prob
able indication that this love OF home
"rtll be interte-cd whit .ttsburg
