There are indications that the boom
OF Willie Hearst as the Democratic
nominee for president is growing, the
strongest sign being the fact that Will
lie can produce ponderous campaign
fund. This alone makes him the logi-
Cal candidate. The dull times that seem
to be necessary feature of Presiden-
tial campaign may be frightened to
some extent by large and easy cam
paign fund, and all parties should note
the fact when selecting candidates.

positions in the Governmental service

prove that they are qualified to fill the

Young men who are wise will not be
troubled with yearning for city life,
for an opportunity to shine and make
their mark in some rip-roaring, bus
tling metropolis. The pure air, the
freedom, the absence of vice in its most
malignant forms, give country and vii
lage life all the best of the argument.
There is just one thing to be said in
favor Of city life: In the city one may
witness, in season, first-class baseball
games. And just about this time every
year we are seized with desire to again
get in touch with the great national
game We again have a hankerin' after
the wicked city, with all its tears and
sorrows and ups and downs. We want
to sit in the bleachers out near first
base and root for the home team and
roast the umpire when he makes a rot
ten decision. Really, one must go to
the city if he wishes to thoroughly en-
JOY himself in the good old summer
time-which will soon be here.
