In Forty Years Ago." published
every Saturday in the Dispatch, one
comes across from time to time items
like this: 1T is high time that Robert
A. Smith stepped down and out. He
has been holding Office too long, and
should give some one else a chance"
Just think of it. Back in 1865 the man
who is at present occupying the may
or's chair, and who will undoubtedly
seek the office another term, was
dubbed chronic office seeker just after
the Civil War. For real, unalloyed
humor this is the piece de resistance
of the pre- campaign of 1905. 1t is to
laugh and laugh again. That a man
living in this year of our Lord, 1905,
should be accounted a chronic office
seeker so long ago that only the old
men can recall it, and should be liv-
ing today, but still occupying office
is not only replete with humor, but
| is case unique perhaps in the politi-
cal annals of the United States, and
they contain some rare occurrences.
