names ever catch a single vote.

The service given the public
by the average public service
corporation is very often of a
low grade. Water, light and gas
companies very frequently dole
out their product in such meagre
doses or it is of such a low grade
as to be of little value. When
one looks on this condition of
affairs he does not wonder that
some people advocate the public
ownership of such utilities. The
change could not be very much
worse in most cases. How to
extract the most money for the
least outlay seems to be the
ruling passion with such
corporations. A little shaking
up once a while will do them
no harm.

DOES 1T PAY TO BE A LAWYER?
Hardly, If Half Those Who Practice
Earn Only $1,000 a Year.

In the United States to-day there
are over 175,O00 lawyers-more than
in any other profession or calling
save teaching and medicine. In ad-
dition to this number there are thou
sands of young men in law offices and
colleges educating themselves for the
lava mighty army of legal repre-
sentative fighting and preparing to
fight these battles of life.
In our city alone there are over
10000 lawyers, three-fourths of whom
are wholly dependent upon the in
comes from their practice as means
of livelihood. While from 80 to SO
per cent are successful practitioners
with good incomes and monopoly
upon the better class of law business
it is safe to say that the remaining
so per cent makes an average less
than $1,000 a year.
In many law offices in our larger
cities you will find half dozen or
more lawyers occupying merely cleri-
cal positions and working for others,
like insignificant cogwheels in a
mighty machine, on salaries of from
SIS to $25 a week, and who congratu-
late themselves that they are able to
hold their positions.
A motorman on a street car receives
from SIS to $40 a week for his serv-
ices, and he is sure of his money. A
clerk in dry goods store, a railroad
or insurance office receives from $40
to s25 a week
A. bank clerk is paid from $75 to
$3.50 a month A skillful mechanic or
machinist earns from SO to $40 day.
Many business men command sal
aries of from $1,000 to $25,000 year.
A travelling salesman sells goods on
commission and earns from $1,000 to
S. 900 year and perhaps more. A
reporter on daily newspaper makes
more money than the average lawyer.
What does it mean? Wake up,
young lawyer, wake up! In the face
of these conditions is it not time that
you were asking yourself the question,
Does it pay to practice law? ...

The old idea of running a cam
paign by calling on voters to
stand by the ticket just for
party's sake is fast falling into
a state of innocuous desuetude.
Citizens are voting for the man
and not for the party more than
they ever did before, and no
amount of jollying can force
them to do otherwise. Especially
unwise is the method being fol-
lowed by at least one Minnesota
campaigner in calling the indie
pendent voter a "sorehead".
That's no way to induce the in
dependent to come back within
the party lines. Vinegar never

INVENTOR OF THE PANToMlME.
When John Rich introduced Harlequin

When John Rich introduced Harlequin
and CoIumbine to London.
!. The credit of producing the first
pantomime in England belongs to
John Rich. This performance was on
Dec 26, 1717. at the theater in Lin
coins Inn Feds.
Rich bethought himself of the
comic Mosques occasionally per-
formed in Edinburgh and he COM
bined with their scenic and mechani-
cal effects the attractions of the pam
tomime ballet. The result was
Harlequin Executed" which the ad-
vertisement of that day described as
"A New Italian Mimic Scene, between
Scaramouch, Harlequin, Coun-
try Farmer, His Wife and Others"
OF course, the earnest student of

and Co. have maintained their hold
on public favor until the present year

If what the travelling men say
about matters political counts,

for Jacobson, and that one ap-
peared here Tuesday afternoon.

Judging from the claims the

it looks as though the United

THE LITTLE BRIDES SAY
> (==g ==:=: 5

~ ~ ~
1t pays any man to try to do the
right thing.
Some fellows never know when
they're licked.
The present political campaign has
plenty of Tobacco sauce.
Some ''Newlyweds" manage to
make a great getaway.
Some men go into politics just for
the graft there's in it.
If you want to win you've got to
keep plugging all the time.
A mans a fool to leave a good
business to go into politics.
The average man likes to parade
his good deeds before the world.
Some people think matrimony is a
lottery, while others prove it to be.
If you pry a CRATER loose from his
graft, you're bound to hear a squeal.
A good many rank injustices are
committed in the name of Christiani-
ty.
not the one WHO is popular with the
men.
If you scatter smiles and sunshine
along your pathway in life, you'll
never live to regret it.
A man who can see but one side
to any question, is too narrow to make
strictly high grade citizen.
Loves young dream is a mighty
nice thing for the lovers, but it
sometimes makes the public awfully
tired.
A whole lot of fellows now have
the experience, and the bills to pay,
while the other fellow has the nom
ination.
A good loser takes his medicine
and grins; poor one goes around
showing his crouch and makes him
self ridiculous.
If fellow won't look you in the
eye when he meets you, he's either
done you a dirty trick or. else he's a
natural born sneak.
If the average man who monkeys
with politics would devote one half
as much attention to business, he
would be a good deal bigger success in
life.
If every man who is doing business
Oh somebody else's money, was COM
PEELED to pay up what he owes, there
We uld only be few fellows left in
business.
If a man wants to find out some
thing about how many liars there are
il the world, just let him run for
office and he'll have his curiosity
gratified.
It might not be bad idea for
some loving husbands to keep an eye
Oh their better halves" occasionally.
Conversely, there are some husbands
who will stand watching.
It's neither appropriate nor neces-
sary for a base ball game, especially
it it's played in fun, to degenerate
into debating society, and the
man responsible for it, ought to be
put out of the game.
Some people are so mean that they
will never come out in the open and
fight a man, but will sneak around
in the dark and fire from ambush.
These fellows, however, rarely fail
to cover up their tracks.
Some people think that because a
man keeps still and minds his own
business he does not know what's
going on around him. That type OF
man is usually con" to most every
thing and when the proper time comes
for action he can act intelligently.
