Straw Shows How Wind Blows.

A dispatch from Pittsburg shows
how public opinion has been affected
by the agitation of tariff revision. and
how the people regard members of the
ways and means committee of con-
gress who are responsible for failure
to heed the country's demand, says the
Chicago Journal.
The dispatch says that Congressman
John DalZell was not defeated for
delegate TO the national republican
convention, as was indicated by early
returns" Mr.. Dalzell barely pulled
through, escaping defeat by the small
est possible margin.
Yet this same Dalzell was elected
TO the present congress by majority
of 1882 over his democratic opponent
in a total vote of about q 900 If, even
in protectionist Pennsylvania, republic
cans were not anxious to be relieved
of the burdens imposed by an inequita
BILE tariff; if they were not tired OF
being robbed by bandit trusts, they
would undoubtedly have sent him tC
the republican convention almost by
reclamation. Yet he narrowly escaped
being beaten.
This should be a lesson, not only tt
the ways and means committee, but
also to the republican party. Tariff
revision must be, had. The country is
in revolt against the robbery of trusts

Bryan and Harmony.

The same slogan of Bryan and har-
mony which inspired the Rock Island
county democratic convention was all
powerful at Springfield yesterday. All
elements in the state convention
were harmOnized for Bryan and the
only issue was the personal liberty
plank which was finally adopted.
When this feature is examined care
fully it will be found that it does not
go beyond the position the party has
always taken against sumptuary laws
More radical resolutions than the one
adopted were before the resolutions

Most men are queer, but some are

they sat around table in a downtown

Town without Local Government.

According 10 the Kansas City Star,
Ash Grove, the second town in size in
Green county, Missouri, with popu
Iation of about 1920, has prepared a
petition to be presented 10 the county
court asking that the town govern
ment be dissolved. The law makes it
mandatory upon the county court to
dissolve the corporation under such
circumstances. Up to 20 years ago the
town of Ash Grove had municipal
form of government. One night wO-
man. while walking along dark
street, tripped on the tongue of a -cul-
tivator which had been left standing
on a sidewalk and received dangerous
injuries, She obtained Judgment for
$4,000. Rather than pay this, the cit
liens permitted the municipal govern
ment to go by default No elections
were held for more than IS years, and
the Judgment is now outlawed. About
six months ago the town government
was revived after bitter fight Soon
afterward the city marshal, while at
tempting to arrest a drunken man
was forced TO kill the offender in self
defense. The opponents of town
government took advantage of the oc
currence to urge the dissolution OF
municipal government. If the corpor
alton is dissolved second time. Ash
Grove will have the distinction of be
ing the only city of 1920 population
i'll the world without some form OF
government.

Third Term Talk.

The statement by Representative
Hobson, while passing through st
Louis ON Sunday, that many members
of congress expect that the Chicago
convention will, after a few ballots
be stampeded to the nomination OF
Roosevelt, seems at this distance To
signify that Washington is not the
best place in the country to go in
search of the thing political that is
going to happen.

GOING SOME.

The through express,
The Pullman train,
May cause us to
At times complain
At service poor
Or at delay.
But IL beats walking
Anyway.
The engine smoke
May I'LL our eyes
And CRIME our coats
And soil our ties.
Still, sitting on
The jolly seat
Does not raise corns
Upon our feet.
OF course we like
To kick about
The service on
This special route.
The nearer then.
We are. will guess,
Sophisticated
More or less.
And so We sit
And raise a roar
To show that we
Are good and sore.
About the service
Poor we talk,
But never do
Get off and walk.
