SPEllBINDER IS SuPPLANTED.

The political spellbinder's occupation
~ u gainful pursuit seems gone forever
There will no doubt be speakers in our
future campaigns, but they will speak
for the public good from patriotic mo
tives or because they are candidates for
office. As was demonstrated in the re.
cent presidential campaign, the newspa-
per has supplanted the old time paid
political spellbinder and he may get
ready to go the way Of the paid monrn.
er.
We heartily agree with our distin
guisbed contemporary, the New York
Tribune, that the popular taste has out
grown the methods OF campaigning,
says Le.lies Weekly, referring to the
spellbinder, and that more people are
to be reached by pictorial presentation
of the Issues and personalities of the
canvass through cartoons and newspa-
pers. The national committee has in
mind that spellbinder may reach a
crowd of several hundred or several
thousand persons; while a newspaper or
pictorial publication will reach hund-
reds of thousands and keep talking all
through the campaign. If campaign
committees would spend less money on
4pellbnders. Autographs and long wind
ed documents and speeches that no one
ever reads and more in the circulation
Of wide.awake publications, especially
the weekly papers in rural districts, they
would realize the most satisfactory re.

morning when strange little girl

The little girl, who was older and
larger than Carol, stared and was
dumb.
What's your name, little girl?"
Carol proceeded.
No answer
Are you five?"
Still no answer.
Are you six?"
The child fidgeted and grnned, but
remained silent with her finger in her
