LAZY


It is ten o'clock
An no bait amt dug,
An there amt no joy
In the old brown jug,
An there amt no tellin'
How tired I be
Oh. hee-oh-heigh-oh
My-oh-me
An I'm noddin' here
With a derned Of book
When / ought to be
In a bay0u-crOok
Where the shadows are,
An sun-fleckS fall
Like blobs O. gold,
And the wild birds call.
1t is most too late
For to go out now,
An there amt no bait
Dug anyhow;
An, if 'twan't too late,
It seems to me
I'm too derned lazy-oh-
My.-oh-gee.
I'm goin' to sprawl
Here on the floor.
An not give a thought
To the fish no more,
An sleep an dream,
TIL the shadows fall,
That I'm fishin' out
Where the wild birds call.
Yes, It seems to me
That's the best way
For to spend a warm,
Old springtime day,
Just lyin' around
The house like me-
Oh-hee-heigh-o-
Oh. myl-oh-gee
Oh, dern It all,
I'm a weary duck!
I s'pose I'm missin'
Some dandy luck
Where the fishes bite
An the breezes blow.
But I'm goin' to sleep,
Oh-hee-heigh-oi

An easy way to get popular with a

The more times you can swear of

WHAT'S AHEAD.

Those who are disposed to look
ahead q couple of years are wondering
what Is to be done in the republican
party at that time. The Republican
party is in a mighty peculiar position.
It's president is a man of opinions ana
they happen to be opinions that are
progressive. He has undertaken a
progressive policy in dealing with
railroads, trusts and the great corpora
TONS But he will have then served
practically two terms and has declared
he Will not be a candidate again. The
question is: What of the suecessionz
In his policies and measures. at least
all the important ones, he has the rank
and file of the people with him. But
what of the leaders of the party
While some of them have felt con-
strained by force of circumstances to
fall in line and upheld his measures. It
IS known that many of his cabinet Of
f1cers even are entirely out of harmony
with his policies, and not one but has
been hanging back more or less In
congress there is not q known. strong
able leader that will come forward ag-
gressively and take up his work. And
out of congress or IN, there is but one
man IN the party whose record in the
past and present would indicate that
he would have the disposition and
courage to inaugurate such policies
and push them forward-in short who
would be worthy successor of Roose-

complishments. and will stop right

GOOD WORD FOR JACKSON.


The nomination of Fred S. Jackson
of Eureka, for attorney general by the
Republicans, was one Of the best
things done by the state convention.
Mr.. Jackson is a clean. forceful. able
young man. He would make a good
attorney. general, and when he is elect
ed, he Will have the greatest oppor-
tunity that has come to young man
in years. For four years the Office to
which he aspires has been occupied
rather than filed. and there will be a
mountain of good work. Kansas is
the DYNAMO of the nation. We gener-
ate the power that moves the world.
and the place where much power for
righteousness in this nation may be
gathered is in the attorney generals
Office. 1t is as important an Office as
governor. If it is ri htly handled. The
fight between the people and the
Illicit power of money in our politics
corrupting our institutions has just be-
gun, to have a captains commission in
that fight, as young Jackson will have
when he is elected. is to have a glori-
Gus opportunity to serve his fellow
creatures.-Emporia Gazette.
