Born in the world to be governor and
United States senator, the positions

When, at the recent state conven-
ton, slave representing Governor
Deneen approached Mr., Yates with a
courteous request that no opposition
be made to the usual resolution en-
dorsing the state administration, the
ex-governor rolled his eyes in fine
frenzy, and between his pearly white
teeth Kissed these burning words
GO back to Governor Deneen and

and endorse himself. / shall appeal

This means. Of course, continues the
Post. that if Mr.. Deneen expects a re-
nomination he must prepare to meet
every slushfunder in the state. with
Richard of the lion heart at their head

Humor ane Philosophy
BY DUNCAN N. SMITH
DOESN'T PAN OUT.

We keep forgetting all the while
About this leap year game
Since not one strange, suspicious thing
Reminds us of the same.
For all the ladies' that we know
Pursue on down the line
The even teHor of their way
And never make a sign.
We didn't think the girls would come
And grab us by the mitt
The very first day of the year
And say. "Old man, you're Il"
But after waiting several weeks
We hoped perhaps they might
Make bold to get their courage up
To seize their pens and write.
Wed heard so much about the time
When girls would take the lead
And give the world a chance to see
How well they could succeed;
How, when the gentlemen held back
The question. they would press
Or gently mention with their eyes
Some things words can't express.
We used to think so, but no more
For us are dreams like that,
And on our chances from that source
We wouldn't bet hat.
At least they haven't come around
Till we have cried Enough
And 1t is our opinion now
That leap year is a bluff.

division of sentiment as to the most
expedient mode of procedure left no
soreness in the hearts of rightly in
clined democrats. All were, apparent

The mailing of that paper was quickly
stopped by the postoffice authorities,
but the curious discovery was made,
declares the Brooklyn Eagle, that there
was no law in the state to punish its
publishers. There is such law now.
The details of the bill have not been
received, but it is probable that pun
ishment is provided adequate to pre-
vent repetitions of the Paterson Of
Tense
This has nothing to do with the right
of free speech as that right has al
ways been understood. The objection
able things in the suppressed Italian
paper were not arguments for anarchy,
they were not even virulent attacks
upon our form of government and ap-
|peals to overthrow it. The article
which made that paper dangerous con-
tanned explicit directions for the MUIR
der of the police by bombs, directions
to start fires in the outskirts of cities,
so that when the police had been drawn
away to these fires the anarchists
would be able to burn or blow up the
main parts of the town, and it urged
every family among its readers to SUBJ
stitute guns for knives, which are
only good to peel onions
That in short, is the sort of thing
this New Jersey law is aimed at, and

1t is quite as dangerous to shout such
indictments to murder from truck or
soap box as to print them. 1t would
