THE square DEAL"-THERE

Ali Shind, one Of the rajahs OF In

his dealings, and for his nice sense
Of honor even towards his lowest sub
jects. One day, while out hunting
with his cOurtiers, he became hungry.
and ordered some of the game they
had taken to be dressed for an i'm
mediate repast. This requirement had
been anticipated by his attendants.
and they had brought with them
bread, saucers, plates. and all they
needed-all except salt, which had
been forgotten. There was, however.
a village near by, and a boy was has
tily dispatched to procure some. The
rajah, hearing the order. called after
the lad to inquire whether he had
taken any money to pay for the salt
At this the attendants expressed some
surprise, wondering that so great a
man should trouble himself about such
tribes, and adding that those who
had the happiness of living under his
dominion had no right TO murmur IL
he should claim at their hands gifts
OF much greater value than a handful
Of salt. Justice replied the raiab

prevent great sins or great calamities

APATHY-WHAT DOES
1T MEAN?

In 1896. when Bryan was first nom
mated for the presidency there lnl
mediately followed a blaze of excite
ment and activity. and when he male
that wonderful tour of the country Il
seemed as if the eyes Of the "hoie
country were centered upon him.
It was only paralleled by the haFu
cider. coon skin and log cabin cam
paign of 1910.
While the campaign of Mr.. Bryan
was creating so much Of a turore'
delegation after delegation were 'ls'l'
ing Mr.. Mckinley on his lawn al Can'
ton. Ohio. and he addressed them from
the portico of his home.
In 1890 the excitement was scarcely
less than in 1896.
People were discussing politics OF
the street corners. in hotel corridors.
aboard smokers on the trains. the
newspapers were seething hot and
were read with an avidity that was
astounding.
Not so now.
The editor of this paper recently
made a trip to SaIuda and Asheyllle'
n. c.. and neither going nor returnins
did he hear a single political discus
sion-indeed, the subject of politics
was nowhere mentioned.
Although the general election Is but
six weeks off there is no political eN-
element anywhere. What Is the
meaning of it all?
We can remember when the popu-
lists held a county convention in the
court house in Ocala The building
was packed to the doors by delegates
and eager spectators and the sup
pressed feeling was something in
tense. A popUlist state convention
was held in the same place the other
day. and it was attended by scarcely a
bakers dozen, and there were less
than a dozen spectators, all told.
Neither Mr.. Bryan, nor Mr.. Taft.
nor Mr.. Watson, nor Mr.. Debs, nor
Mr.. Preston, nor Mr.. Hisgen is arous-
ing any enthusiasm to speak Of; at
least, not enough to set the woods on
fire.
What does it all mean? What does
it pOrtend?
When Mr.. Hughes and Mr.. Hearst
made their gubernatOrial canvass Of
New York state only a year or so ago
the public eye was focused upon
them and the excitement they created
was almost like a prairie fire-today
a canvass between them would hardly
create a ripple of the political waves.
What's the cause of it all?
Has President Roosevelt been so
spectacular; has his didoes been so
great; has his pondrous stick flourish
ed so Justify, that it has destroyed
the political appetite Of the American
people of all political parties, for any
thing less grotesque, picturesque and
pyrotechnic?
Has President Roosevelt absolutely
destroyed the taste of the average
American for politics!
