Maud Mueller, on summers day,
Called, Number, please?' to earn
her pay.
Before her, numbers, printed small,
Fell down when anyone would call.
The Judge took up his office phone,
And made to Maud his wishes known.
Said he, "Ill ask you just once more
For four eleven -forty-four. -
Said Maud, as mild as summer seas,
tWhat number did you ask for,
please?' :.
Said he, Il told you twice before,
It's four eleven forty four. -
Said Maud, and you could hear her
smile,
"Just hold the phone little while. -
A weary interval ensued-
The wires hummed an interluCe.
And broken bits of talk came o'er
The phone, and made the waiter sore.
The wish-bone receiver hook
He seized upon and wildly shook.
Till Maudie' voice he heard once more.
What number are you waiting for?'
The judge responded with roar,
cts four r-eleven-forty -fourn'
Serenely Maud made answer then.
"That line is busy; call again.
The Judge had business late that day,
And SO her merely walked away.
But as he walked he shook his head,
And this is what he sadly said:
"Of all the words of tongue or pen,
The worst are, Busy; call again. -

The kicker can always find some
thing to kick about. The man who
was kicking short time ago because
we were not having warm weather
is now kicking because the weather
is so hot. 1t is strange that nature
cannot temper the weather to suit the
shorn goat.
!. The hired girl problem is getting
worse instead of better. Many girls
seek employment in cities because the
wages are larger and there there are
more privileges. They then marry
city men, leaving country boys to find
companions IN city girls, who in turn
will not live on the farm, and both
boys and girls are lost to the farm.
About the only binding law some
states have for keeping the weeds
cut along the highways is the law
governing mans self respect. Most
men do not like to have weeds grow
along the highway contiguous to thier
farms, but now and then you will find a
farmer who is perfectly willing to let
them grow There ought to be rigid
law for the latter. The former is not
under the law at all he does not need
it.

Elastic Currency.

Elastic currency schemes usually
start with some plan to take the gov
eminent out Of the money business and
generally stop there because there is
no sentiment among the common run of
people in this country in favor Of such
a separation. Financiers and bankers
may see irrefragible reasons why the
government should get out Of the money
business, but they have never con-
WINGED the country and they never will,
since it always appears that they are
to step in when the government steps
out.
The people of this country are &C
customed to the idea of their money
coming from the government They
know that they handle a lot of notes
which come from the national banks
but they also know that the bankers
have always been dissatisfied with the
conditions under which these notes were
issued. This dissatisfaction Of the
bankers has always been sort of
popular guarantee that the plan was
right.
The elastic-currency plans of today
involve two ideas, one comprehensive
a note-issuing bank. This is what the
! money men want and what they will
not get. The other involves a compro
; mise which will allow the banks to is
sue notes more easily under a tax pen
alty which will assure their cance1latior
| when they are not loaned out at a rate
of interest which will make them profit
| able after the tax has been paid Tho
bankers say that such issues of notes
would always assure plenty Of money
when plenty was needed, and also auto
matlcally. shorten the supply whe1
money was not in demand. This is tn,
banker view Of it. TO the man in tn,
street it looks just as muchF like a plal
to have the rate Of interest always il
control of the banker. When money i
needed he can send out just enough
notes to supply the demand at the high
| est rate Of interest. When the deman,
falls off he can retire enough notes t.
just supply the remaining demand a
the same old rate If farmers coul
do that with wheat they mi ght hav
dollar wheat the year round, and fror

Walter N. Carroll. former president
of the Home Protective association,
speaking of J. G. Haynes, writes:
"Mr. Haynes, as mayor, was pos
sessed of the most discouraging inertia
that ever beset a public official. The
unvarnished recital of facts and fig
ures of the awful wineroom and low
dive theater conditions which obtained
when he was in office, failed to bulge
him an inch, and cannot escape che
conviction that if he were again mayor
he would repeat his previous perform

Prosecutors Who Falter.

Is it any wonder that the people be-
come exasperated over the conditions
surrounding the execution of the laws.
when they find such incidents as the
Patrick, Burton and Hummel cases arc
the rule and not the exception, where
there is money back of defense?
Patrick was convicted of murder in
the first degree and sentenced to the
electric chair six. years ago. But he is
alive today and conducting prolonged
and lively legal campaign against the
execution Of the court g sentence. He
has already outlived most of the ma.
terial witnesses, and if he shall succeed
in getting his case into the courts for
another. trial, he will be acquitted for
lack of living witnesses to convict him.
Senator Burton was convicted two
years ago of an offense against the
penal laws Of the United States. He
has been twice to the supreme court
and yesterday began his term of Omar
tyrdom'' in the Jail. He has prolong ed
the conflict to the point where the
original issue is lost sight of and his
wife, standing at the door of the Jail,
painting him a prosecuted man to all
corners, is believed by men who have
long since forgotten what the Burton
case was.
A year and a half ago, little sneak
of a lawyer named Hummel, one of
those pests of the legal profession, was
convicted of suborning perjury, a profit

when they are not engaged in bribine

pending that appeal he was admitted to

ed against the admission to bail pend

certificate of reasonable doubt. He

his contention. The court said that
Justice Woodward was wrong, that

Who Is on the Defensive?

Assuming that Mayor Jones is on the
defensive the Tribune violently calls
upon him to take the other tack since
eff the people had not already decided
to elect him there is danger of his de-
feat This is Internationally true;
the candidate who is not elected is in
danger Of defeat But how about the
defensive? - : -
Two years ago Mayor Jones found
police force debilitated by political
activities and he at once set to work to
relieve it of the incubus Of partizan-
ship. This was a direct attack upon the
preceding administration.
He found gambling wide open and
proceeded to stamp it out. This was
another attack upon the previous adj
ministration.
He discovered that the regulation Of
the social evil was lazy and inefficient.
He proceeded to tighten the coils about
Il this phase Of city life and succeeded
within a short time in combining it to a
restricted territory, in cleaning up the
business portion of the city and in
.oOOl1ouInS ChC11Cly SGICCC" dlh4uS LII
open places of the city. This was also
an attack upon the previous administra-
ton.
Having carried these outworks of the
enemies of good government Mayor
Jones rallied his forces for the grand
assault upon the citadel of corrupt gov
eminent, the Sunday saloon, and car
ried that. The Sunday saloon had not
been closed for sixteen years. It was
intrenched. It was POWERFUL. It, was
supplied with all the ammunition which
makes the saloon terror to politicians
4 But Mayor Jones stormed the position
drove it out and locked the DOORS. This
a administration.
Now who is on the defensive? Is it
Mayor Jones who has done these things
or Mayor. Haynes who did
4 not do them, but who now comes before
the people confessing that he. did, not
do them, but begging pardon and prom,
Using he will do them next time if the
people will give him another chance?
How much political sincerity is in his
promises when he is seen making his
attack not upon what the mayor has
not done, but upon what he has done?
\ How much hope is there that Haynes
will do better than he did before when
we have the testimony Of the president
Egof the Home Protective association that
Haynes as a public official had. the
4 most discouraging inertia that ever be-
set a public official.
What was the rule laid down by Pat
rick Henry for judging the future? Il
Il WIS use it we shall surely come to the
conclusion that if Mayor Jones il
elected the Sunday saloon will remain
closed, the public gambler will remain
idle; the social evil will hide away il
the darkest corners of the city; the
police will stay out Of politics.
The only issue is whether it is the
deliberate intention Of the people thai
the laws shall be enforced. If it is
there is choice between a man wht
has enforced them, is enforcing them
ond will enforce them, and one who
