The daily papers, in discussing the
political situation in this state, and
the probabilities as to the organiza-
tion of the Legislature, place Hon. j.
II. Carroll. of this city, in the lead
for speaker of of the house. MIR. Car
roll has had two terms experience in
the legislature and is thus fitted for
the position from that standpoint.
Further, he championed the cause Of
the primary last session and was the
recognized leader of the movement in
the house. As that is one of the impor-
tant matters to come before the next
session it is only fitting that his
labors for that cause should be recog-
nized by comforting upon him the
honor of being elected to the speak
ership.

gratified. Here is this man Hartman,
he has reached the time of life when
if he was possessed of only a modrate
wealth he could retire and pass the
remainder of his days in peace and
happiness, but he cannot let go. He
must keep on fighting others like
himself for bare existence. In this
respect he is no better off than the
man who earns his bread from day
to day by manual labor. With them
life in the broad sense is Il failure
Today it is the rural population, the
farming class and the people in the
small towns that are the backbone of
of the nation. Among them is found
the patriotism and morality of the
nation, and among them is found
more peace and happiness than with
those who have become slaves to the
creations of their own genius. The
rich and the extremely poor
are the failures in this life. The one
takes from others that which does
not belong to him, and is made slave
thereby; the other, almost invariably,
has not taken advantage of his oppor
tunities, and is thus made to suffer
the pangs of proverty.

WIrH blare of trumphets it was
announced last week that many OF
the big lines of railroads would volun-
tarily increase the wages of employees
10 per cent. Some went into spasms
over the generosity and virtue of these
liberal GU corporations. But the first
spasm will be followed by another
when it is learned that these same
roads intend to raise freight rates and
to expend Sl0O,O00,000 less next year
for improvements. One prominent
official said, "The railroads cannot
continue to earn dividends, even If
this prosperous era continues, If they
are compelled to pay the higher wages
demanded by all classes of employs
and pay the present high prices Tor
cars locomotives and all kinds OF sup
plies" lisa safe bet that the gener-
osity will be at the expense OF the
public. Turn it around and look at
it any way you please, the people pay

A "RUBBER money" as proposed by
Secretary Shaw and advocated by the
bankers association would make a
financial panic the easiest thing in
the world to bring about. All that
would be necessary would be to strech
the rubber, let the business of the
country absorb it and adjust itself to
the increased circulation, and then the
sudden contraction. The result
would be lower prices at once for the
produce of the county, and thousands
of small business men in bankruptcy.

HARTMAN, the great railroad king
and financial strategist, who guides
the destinies of a railroad system
comprising some $4,000 miles, is us
ually a reticent man. But last week
he unburdened himself to a reporter
and confessed that he was tired and
that he would retire, if he only could.
The genius of this man has built up
great system, but with it came a
mass of detail that he alone can han
die. Here is maI of sixty years of
age; his lease of life is probably not
long: he is worth countless millions,
and Yields an endless power, but that
same genius that built up the great
system, that wrecked many small
fortune in the building, has made of
the man a slave, and now when he
would gladly retire he cannot let go.
With us all, great or small, the chase
of the almighty dollar takes our best
enegies and leaves very little, if any
opportunity to enjoy life and the
great pleasures that are open to rich
and poor alike. Wealth seems to be
the dream of all. Some desire it for
the pleasure in getting it, others
for the power over their fellow men
which great wealth gives, and still
Others desire wealth for the mere
purpose of spending it, to throw
money to the right and left with pro-
fligate hand. We sometimes wonder
if it pays in the end even those who
succeed to so great an extent that
they cannot even comprehend the
degree to which their desire has beer

pending ruin through steel bars. War
rants are out for prominent party
men. Court criers are speaking great
republican names. In evidence be-
fore the public eye is the receipt of
the party's treasury for great sums

head, vagabond It's own yellow dog
is barking at it. No man has the
courage to stand up for it. No-the
republican party is utterly without de-
tenders. 1t has no orators like Bru-

Julia Sagala of New York was
spanked into matrimony. II she had
not been spanked she would not have
been married
There is a ball tonight" casually
mentioned Miss Sagala last Saturday
afternoon. Mamma Sagala emitted
noises suggestive OF disapproval

"You shall not firmly said mann

Miss Julia disrespectfully made a
"snoot'' at her mamma. Whereupon
mamma swooped down upon Miss
Julia and with the aid of her knee
and a large palm turned backward
in its fight about ten years and
spanked her daughter.
Raging and fearful, Miss Julia
dashed out of the house, having de-
clared herself to the effect that she
would never, never come back.
Fortune threw in the way of the
spanked child one Joseph Tarodi, with
whom she had love passages when she
was much younger.
Marry me and take me away" she
pleaded. Il have been spanked and
I shall stand it no longer"
Mr.. Tarodi, having sympathetic
and loving heart, albeit T. is quite
an old man compared with Julia-he

and then hied away to priest In
about twenty minutes the spanked

The Provocation

The English philosopher was on his
way home from lecture, deeply alb
sorbed in thought.
A SNOWFALL, thrown by a small hoy,
struck him in the back Of the neck.
He turned to chastise the boy, when
another SNOWFALL, coming from the
opposite direction, hit him on the ear.
Then the fusillade became general
and with the discretion that even a
great mind sometimes exercises in an
emergency, he ran through an alley
and escaped.
On reaching his home this philoso
pher, whose name was Nautilus, rushed
into his study and in a burst of un
comfortable rage evolved the rough
draft of his doctrine, now famous, to
the effect that too many children, es
pecially boys, are born into this
world.-Chicago Tribune.
