The pesnissd Office.

If in carelessly glancing out Of the
window you, happen to notice small
man clinging to the top of conspicu-
Gus hill waving a lantern and ringing
bell and meanwhile shouting at the
top of his voice, you may safely con-
clude that he is some prominent but
modest citizen who is trying to get
away from the vice presidency.
The way that office pursues some ter
rified men is simply awful
Do what they will-buy cigars for
prospective delegates, furnish their
pictures to newspaper correspondents,
with brief and thrilling sketches Of
their self made careers, or establish
press bureaus-they cannot evade the
pursuer.
1t is true they do not always use the
best of judgment in their precipitate
fight, often stumbling right into the
trap laid for them by their own sala-
ried henchmen, and. taking all things
into consideration, it is wonder so
few of them get caught.

Hungry school Children.

The rather startling report that up
wards of 500 school children in New
York are in need OF food conveys an
idea how hard times are for the toll
ing classes in the metropolis. In one
school alone an investigation by the
teacher revealed that u pupils, boys
and girls, were without sufficient food.
This is indeed deplorable condition
in city the wealth of whose residents
combined is greater than in any other
city in the world. While the rich may
not be to blame for this the contrast
between great wealth and abject pow
crty is sharply drawn. 1t is probably
true none knew the condition of the
families of the children, most OF
whom were too sensitive to admit that
they were. without the necessities OF
life
Now that the discovery has been
made through investigation the plan
to establish kitchens on the lower east
side where the poverty most prevails
gives promise of speedy and adequate
relief. There is no doubt that in many
other places school children as well as
families are in sore need.
The republican full dinner pail is
pretty badly denied this year.

Senator Hopkins.

Peoria Star: Senator Albert J. Hop
kins has been slated for the chairman
shin of the committee on resolutions
of the republican national convention.
He will, therefore, have hand in
drafting the national party platform.
Senator Hopkins is a strong friend
and believer in "Uncle Joe" Cannon
He will, therefore, congratulate the
party upon the present prospect and
point to the prosperity of the nation
as an indication of the success of re.
publican politics. He will show that
for IL years the nation has enjoyed
the floodtide, and this, in spite of the
efforts of the democratic minority TIC
delay needed legislation. He will show
that all that is necessary to carry on
this glorious work is to continue the
party in power; that ii has been Ell
abied by judicious Interpretation OF
the tariff to increase wages, to pour
into the lap of the farmers the wealth
of the earth in exchange for their
products, and to confer upon all class
es of citizens the benefits to be deriv-
ed from honest legislation. And then
all the newspapers, that is, all the par.
ty newspapers, except those who have
been most sorely hit by the paper
trust, will applaud Senator Hopkins
and publish the platform as something
to swear by. They viii conveniently
evade the fact that the republican ma

Grant.
After all, a presidential candidate
for his franlness. 1t may be accepted
as fact that Secretary Taft erred a
little ON the side of bad taste when in
making speech before the gathered
veterans at Grants tomb he referred
to General Grants early liking for the
wine that is red in the cup 1t is rath-
er amazing that man so diplomatic,
or at least supposed to be so diplo-
matte as Taft, should have made such
a political blunder. He was address
ing an audience made up largely of
men who had followed Grant in his
campaign and who had no criticism to
express upon what he ate or drank or
was merry withal, as long as he led
them to victory. 1t is not surprising
that there has been an outcry against
Secretary Taft's comments. Of course,
what Senator Foraker says must be
taken with some knowledge of his an
tagonism to Taft, but he remarked
casually that while General Grant
may have had some Weaknesses, it is
evident that Secretary Taft has his
weakness also"
Mrs. John A. Logan said that the ut
terances of the secretary of war and
candidate for the republican presiden-
tial nomination are deeply to be re-
GREETED. Lesser lights in the army
and among the Grand Army men talked
more freely. Judge Roger A. Pryor
thought, for example, it was a shock
ing speech. Colonel James d. Bell, a
notable G. A. R. man, described it as
being in bad taste and uncalled for.
George E. Dewey, the commander of
one of the greatest G. A. R. posts in
New York, described the speech as IAN
outrage viewed in any light From
Buffalo there comes no word of ap.
prevail of what Taft had to say, and
from Milwaukee a vice commander of
the G. A. r. who commanded a regi-
ment before Vicksburg, said, 1T was a
foolish thing to do and a wrong thing
to say
1t is quite apparent that Secretary
Taft has singular faculty for saying
the wrong thing at any time. His
Grant speech is going to rise up TO
curse him if he shall be, as is prob
able, the nominee of the party which
is supposed to idolize Grant And yet
as he has said, no reflection ON Grant
was intended.

THE OTHER FISH.

Perhaps it's consolation
To sit from morn till night
Beside n wide, expansive lake
And never get a bite,
While bait is being wasted.
To have this pleasant thought
There's just as good fish in the sea
AS ever have been caught.
To meet pretty maiden
And fall in love with her
Is just as fine a thing as can
To any man occur.
But IL he cannot win her
What charm to hear about
The very fine fish In the sea
That haven't been pulled outl
That line of consolation
is good enough for those
Who from an airy distance
Can analyze their woes.
But. getting down to cases,
They want it understood
That they are not out looking
For something just as good.
Those who have been casehardened
BY going through the mill
May think that any damsel
Who smiles would fill the bill.
The disappointed lover
This large supply disdains.
He doesn't care how many
Fine fish the sea contains.
