THE OTHER MULES GRASS.

We laugh at the mule that stands at
the fence. neglecting to eat, and looks
longingly into the adjoining pasture,
imagining that the grass there is
sweeter than his own.
1t is funny, any yet ii is the same
trait that We who call ourselves wis
er than the mule exhibit all through
our lives.
We begin early. How quickly a
baby will drop whatever he is playing
with to seize that which is withheld
from him.
A tendency to undervalue what we
have and to magnify what others
have seems to be an element of our
nature.
Many a young writer feels that he
would be quite happy if he could write
such history as Fiske: yet the story is
told of Fiske that his great desire was
to sing. Compliments on his writing
or lectures brought no sweetness to
him. but a favorable word of his sing
ing filled him with JOY.
The mule at the fence has plenty of
company.
The poor think the rich must be
happy The rich envy the poor their
lack Of cares
The unsuccessful deem the success
full ones content. The successful miss
the Keen joy Of triumphs in their days
of hard struggle.
We see only the thorns in our own
vocations. the roses in those of 9TH
ers. The shopgirl would be an actress:
the cook would change places with
her mistress the lawyer sees the ad
vantages of being a doctor: the doctor
those of being a lawyer. The cOun-
try boy leans on the pillow handle and
looks toward the city with longing
eyes. And the city youth yearns for
the green Of the country or the free
life on the seas.
What's the use?
We laugh at the mule at the fence:
why not laugh at ourselves as We see
us at this side?
Don't try to be somebody else.
Do the best you can where you are.

"A FlASHLlGHT" CANDIDATE.

LeSIies Weekly speaks of w. J
Bryan as "a fiashlight" candidate for
the presidency, and says the galvan-
ization OF the Nebraskan into life need
excite no alarm among Republicans
II Bryan should be nominated in 1905
he would start out in his new canvass
with the hoodo of a succession of de
feats. the second of which was worse
than the first. He would have to fiehi
Two sets of Democratic enemies. One
of these is the Cleveland straieht-oute,
which would scorn the allegiance 10
which Belmont. Francis. Sheehan and
Mcclellan invite them. The other is
the Hearst radicals, who would fight
Bryan on account OF the new friends
whom he has made. Watson, the Pop
ulist chief of 1904, has attacked Bryan
for his utilization with Belmont, Fran
els, Taggart and their element. Hearst
has still more fiercely assailed him.
Leslies considers Roosevelt out of
the race and for that reason thinks it
will be little harder for the Repub-
licans in 1908 than it was in 1904.
Campaign contributions will not be as
large as formerly, but the Republicans
will have some decidedly important
advantages over the Democrats, no
matter whom the latter may nominate.
The party has greater numbers, has
higher discipline, has wiser leader
ship, and, above all, it has an immen-
ley better recotrd.
Roosevelt's personality, although he
will not be candidate. will help the
Republicans in the canvass, for he will
be at the head of the government. and
his sane and effective management of
affairs will be an asset of great conse-
quence to his party.
By nominating Bryan in 1908. says
Leslie's, Democrats will proclaim that
they have no available candidate ex-
cept one that has scored two success

BY POPULAR SUBSCRIPTIONS.

Ii looks very much as if the Repub-
lican and Democratic national commit
tees would have to rely upon popular
subscriptions FOR FUNDS with which TO
conduct the coming political cam
paign. as the day is past when con
tributions from great corporations can
secure political preference.
The chairmen OF both congressi2n-
al committees have decided TO ask Tor
dollar subscriptions from those inter
esled il the success OF their party.
Republicans contributing that amount
will receive the national campaign
text book and all documents issued
by the committee. which has head
quarters in New York. Commenting
on this method of raising a campaign
fund the Minneapolis Journal approves
in the following:
This, OF course, is the right way
TO conduct a campaign, and the appeal
from the committee ought TO meet
with general response by those who
desire to see a Republican congress
elected this fall. It's the right way
to do this sort of financing. Put it
up TO the people. Ii they don't want
a Republican congress, let them say
so, not only by their ballots but by
Withholding the funds necessary to
carry on legitimate campaign. And
when the result is accomplished, the
general public will be entitled to take
peculiar credit to itself for having had
active part in the achievement.
1t is well known fact that in the
past the members of both parties have
relied upon corporations and men of
wealth 70 make large contributions

measure, been responsible for the con.
ditlons that are now sought to avoid

upon each general election as their

er themselves good party men, have

lions be confined
In the appeal for one dollar sub
scriptions it is not intended to limit
anyone TO that amount. Many men
are able TO give more and will do so
out OF party fealty and because they
want to see its principles prevail for
the general good of the country.

Theodore Roosevelt believes in doing

tinkering with the tariff would almost
inevitably bring about.

who is fighting the battle of the mass

president is taking in the coming con-
