JOHNNY's LUCK.
Co. Supt.

Little Johnny saved his pennies
Saved them for six months or so.
Saved to purchase cannon crackers
Johnnys spirits now are low.
Someone stole his bank, his pennies,
Took his savings all away:
Don't cry, Johnny, you may, there =

Live to save another day.

depressing person.
Political Apathy.

This is a rather dull political cam
paign. It ha been a long time since
there has been presidential election
which is looked forward to with SO lit
tie interest by the masses of the peo-
pie. The politician is always inter
ested in politics and is apt to think that
everybody else is. It takes person
who is not politician to know whether
the people are really interested.
There are two or three obvious rea-
sons why there should be so much
apathy. One is that there is no issue
on which it is possible to arouse enthu-
siasm or stir up bitter opposition. The
money question is settled, or, at least,
the people think it is, and there is
nothing to take it's place as a political
stimulant. Men could be stirred up to
the point of personal enmity on the
money question. The vital connection
between money and daily life is I'M
derstood of all men. It was easy to
arouse men by a political issue that
seemed on one side to promise more
money, and on the other to threaten less
money for every man who worked. -
What is there in this campaign tic
take the place of the money issue? The
people, it seems, are not yet ready tt
be aroused again on the tariff question
| They have settled down into state
Of Indifference regarding it. They ever
accept without indignation argument!
designed to prove to them what an ex
cellent thing it is for the foreigner tx
buy American goods cheaper than tn,
American can get them.
Imperialism-whoi is really bothering
himself about that7 Hardly anybod,
! regards it as a vital question. The PEG
pie have accepted the fact that we ar
in the Philippines, and it does not oc
cur to them that the time has yet com
to discuss the question of getting out.
The trusts-there is nothing here
make any mans blood boil. Neithe
party has "gone after' the trusts wit
a pitchfork. The republicans are NOR
radical in their utterances than tn
democrats, but there is nothing i
either platform to stir the people t
frenzy.
Finally, everybody believes in hi
; heart that President Roosevelt is goin
