POINTED PARAGRAPHS.
From the Chicago News:

T. IOIIl lHc Cu1CdSO News:
Every time one man loses his temnar
another gains his point.
No matter how often a mans heart
is shattered it is always good for an
other break.
A man may believe that he is better
than his neighbor but his neiehbor
never believes it.
Perhaps the longevity of most Actors
may be due to enforced walking AZ =
means of exercise.
Wise politicians climb into the hand
wagon rather than risk being knocked
down and run over by it.
Somehow a talkative wife nevar
takes advantage of the many onnor-
tunities her husband gives her to unit
In after years when a man meets his
first love he is happy in the belief thai
it were better to have loved and lost
After a woman has been married so
long she ceases to pay any attention tn
any rumors about men neglectin9 their
wives.
A woman seldom has much to saw
about the good qualities of her husba nd
until he Is in the hands of the UNDER
taker.

WASHINGTON, D. c. March 15:-Presi-

welt signing the bill exempting the eight
hour law from work on the Panama Can

As Is now we'll known when the Urg-

gress. the chairman of the committee
having the bill in charge, the Hon. Mr..
Littauer of New York, the man known to
be hostile to organized labor. attached a
rider to it abolishing the eight hour day

American politics will dare to say that all

But it is true that never has
the average Of American politics been
cleaner than today. In all the work at
Washington there are plenty Of honest
differences But there is less absolute
dishonesty than any other generation has
known. The president has set the type
OF an honest statesman, and the men
closest to him, Root, Knox. Taft, Crane
and the others, hs regards as Just as
honest and incorruptible az the best
type Of past generations. This indescrim-
mate abuse Of politician at Washington as
hopelessly base and corrupt Is the most
glartng untruth that has been put In
type for many years. The men at tho
head Of the American government today
deserve and ought to have the respect
Of the American people. And We believe
they have It.
