An origina Opinion.

The Chicago Chronicle does
not like William Bryan and il
thinks he does not want To be
nominated for president in 1907.
The Chronicle says:
Some entirely unwarrantcI
surprise is expressed at Mr.. Bry-
ans indifference td the opposi-
ton which his government own
ership declaration has excited.
There is really no reason fer
Mr.. Bryan to be other than indif-
ferent-or defiant-in the mat
ter. People who think otherwise
do not understand Mr.. Bryan's
position.
Nominally, and purely nomin-
ally, Mr.. Bryan is a candidate
for the Democratic presidential
nomination. Really he is pro-
fessional lecturer and Snowman
anxious to make the greatest
possible number of dates at the
highest possible percentage of
the box Office receipts. His po-
litical pretensions Cor pretenses)
are subsidiary to his lecturing
business. He uses them to en-
nance his value as platform
attraction.
Therefore Mr.. Bryan, knowing
that the Democratic nomination
is merely an empty honor, does
not care whether his views are
approved by the Democratic par
ty or not. He is only concerned
that they shall attain due public
ity. Mr.. Bryan is a shrewd adj
vertiser. He utilizes the govern
ment ownership proposition as a
means of raising his prices on
the lecture circuit.
He does not care a continental
whether the Democrats like it or
not and he frankly saws so. He
is not in politics for his health.

First Voters in 1905.

Each year in the United States
nearly million men attain the
right to vote. The great major
ity OF these first voters are
young men who have reached
their majority. This element in
elections is scarcely given the
weight to which it is entitled. In
fact, few realize that in each
presidential year at least 20 per
cent of the vote is from this
class. In the closely contested
elections of 1896, which brought
out total vote of about 10000
900, more than 100000 were
cast by men who had never be-
fore appeared at the polls in a
presidential election. 1t seems
but short time since the cleo
ton OF 1904, but in the choice of
congress this fall over 100000
first voters will be qualified to
participate. Outside of naturali-
cation this vast number is COM
posed o. young men who will
have passed the age of 81 be-
tween November, 1904, and No
1906. 1t is the most in
teresting and potential of all adj
itions to the electorate. These
young men are entering upon
much more than their political
duties. Their social and business
careers are in the formative
stage. They should grasp clear
ly the value of the ballot TO
young Americans. Their heri-
tage is the United States, for up
On Them must fall the response
Dilities in the course of the next
quarter of a century.

the family name of the woman in the marriage

why did you not send this marriage certificate
to Violet Mordaunt" asked David since you did
not give it to Strauss?'
Il would have sent it to her, I'm sure, but
didn't have her address. She did leave me an adj
dress that day she came; but, to tell the truth,
l didn't take the whole TODD about papers, papers,

Wit Brings the Relief

Nov, it takes only superficial survey of the
pleasantly in question to discover that, while
the salient feature in it is indeed pun it is rich in
various other elements which really constitute its
choicest part What are these elements? Why it
is plain that the statesman has used the pun only
to convey his of the situation prob
lem for social solution. People may, indeed goes
the Senator's thought make fools of themselves but
civilized and social beings business is first
to appreciate the of human folly in genial and
good-natured fashion, and secondly to conceal ones
impression by making amiable plea for the un-
conscious delinquent, and thirdly, if possible for
ones own amusement as well as for that of those
present, to embody in ones tactful plea little
point of wit to give the situation due relief That is
to say, we have here genial appreciation of human
folly, tact and the nimble presence of mind which
issues in the rapid perception of resemblances
between widely different ideas. The pun is here
used only to tip off the verbal feat and to give
it point. The charm of this pleasantly is, then,
that while it embodies pun it makes it wholly
subservent to the more important elements of

Here Is the Rich Pun

Here Is the Rich Pun
HERE, again, we have accessory riches in the
elements of tact, sentiment the retort courteous,
and wonderful ingenuity to press point without
offense Here too have rich pun-the sort of
pun that is welcome everywhere, and that album
dainty deserves its welcome.
If puns uniformly the feeble, contemplate
things many people are pleased to represent them,
Octave Thanet would scarcely have built one of
her most interesting stories a mere play of
words, she has done in the of the besetment
of the poor Swede, whose boss turns him off and
declares it will be cold day before he takes him
back again. After eating his soul out with ennui,
the Swede becomes melancholy and seeks again
and again to take his life His wife, distracted with
grief last, when particularly bitter day sets in,
remembers the boss fatal word, and sets out to
ntercede in her torrnented husbands behalf, repre-
sentng to the now Modified patron that it is very
cold day, and that it is time for him to keep his
word. This pun is the very key to the plot.
In seeking, therefore, to determine the status
of the pun it is well to remember that it is of
the most useful instruments in the armory of wit.
By itself of the slightest of its weapons, it is
yet capable of giving point to pleasantly such
few other esthetc factors do, and it reaches its
highest pitch of effect in graceful subserviency
to higher and nober elements of interest, which by
the magic of surprise gathers together and brings

Beautified by Holy Writ

Deaut1ned by Holy writ
HOWEVER far back we push our researches into
II the past, find the pun blthely awaiting our
arrival. Nor has profane history a monopoly
of the charms which the pun presents. The Savior
of Himself pleased to dub His beloved
disciples fishers of men" The mural inscriptions
of Egypt, no less than the bricks of Babylon and
Nineveh, testify to the delight which the earliest
founders of civilization took in tracing faint lines of
resemblance between objects far asunder in
sence.
The great difficulty lies in the superficial atten-
ton which has been bestowed upon the function
of the pun and upon its various manifestations
depending upon the other elements with which it
associated A pun in itself-a bare unreleved
pun-deserves, let us hasten to admit, all the
contempt that has through the ages been showered
upon it. But-and here lies the grand distinction
not ali puns bare and unreleved goodly
proportion of them come to us arrayed in ample and
most becoming drapery They come, above all, as
the vehicle of something vastly important
than themselves. When they come in this guise

perennial joys and glories of human speech. The
comparison of one or two bare puns with appro-
Priatey clothed ones will amply illustrate the diff
ference.
