HARD LIFE OF BACHELOR SEAL

ignorant of love and of life."

replied. 1.-THE pile. you will note, is
like closecut velvet. Only bachelor
sealskins have such pile.
''The bachelor SEAL" he went on,
has a rather sad life. The big bull
seals in the seal islands have each
a household of Is or 30 wives, but
the young bachelors must herd by
themselves. Let one of them attempt
to marry, and straightway bull Stays
him. Not till he is big enough to fight
and conquer bull-not till he is IA
or Is years old-can he know the de-
light of settling down in a home of his
own.
"He is not like the human bachelor,
the favorite of the chorus girls, the
reyeier in all sorts of club Injuries !;
but he leads a hard escetic, celibate
life, only in the end, as like as not, to
make a lady very fine coat. All the

THE PROGRESS OF THE CAMPAIGN

AS the campaign progresses, it be-
comes more and more apparent that
the indications point to the success
of the Democratic party. The Repub-
licans feel this, and there is a lack of
spirit in their campaign. Mr.. Taft
speech-making tour through the coun-
try has failed, utterly. to awaken the
enthusiasm that the Republican lead
ers expected. Moreover, their party
is on the defensive in this campaign.
The people are calling upon them to
give an account of their stewardship,
and we believe in November next will
say to them thou shalt no longer be
steward"
Certainly, in the past ten or twelve
years. since the Republican party has
had full control of the government,
and especially since the strenuous and
irrepressibie Roosevelt has been in the
White House. that party has held high
carnival in the country. Reckless
of the public money have character
lied the course of the party, and the
people are about tired of it, and are
expressing themselves in no uncertain
terms. So that, the Republicans are
greatly agitated and alarmed, lest they
be driven from power at the coming
election
The position of the Democratic party
is strong and defensible. The plat
form is ctear and uneQuivocal, and the
principles OF government it enunci-
ates are such as can be easily under
stood by every citizen.

The Republican party is against all
these propositions, and hence the is
sues are clearly drawn, and the peo-
pie who constitute the great American
jury will have to render their verdict
as between these parties and policies
at the election in November next.
We believe they will say to the Re-
