It's not because he amt been warned
From Oregon to Maine.
The papers that take in hand
+. And they are not few
All tell right out in ringing tones

."Conciliate!" the Bugle says,
Cor risk an awful thud";
"Resign!" we notice in the Star

The Younger Turks should have full
sway
They dress like Suffragettes-
And Abdul ought to change his brand
OF Turkish cigarettes.
The missionaries should be asked
To run the blooming east,
Or they should have complete control
OF all the cash, at least.
The Pokeville Universe suggests
A man to lead the fight
We'll give him William Jennings B.

DEPEW MISSED ON.

few years ago no one thought of
putting on big banquet unless
Chauncey Depew was down on the
program at the head of the list Of
after dinner speakers. Then the re-
form wave came along and Senator
Depew for time was obscured by the
eclipse. But the papers the other day
had an account of banquet at which
Senator Depew again headed the pro-
gram of toasts and what he said on
that occasion was of interest. The
senator's speech was photographed
in way. He told of his personal ac-
quaintance with all of the presidents
from Lincoln down to Taft, and he
took occasion to assert that if the Os-
Ter theory had prevailed the world
would be many centuries behind it's
present condition The senator paid a
long tribute to President Lincoln and
then, speaking; Of presidents that fol-
lowed the great emancipation, he
said:
THE one among them who carried
to the White house the methods and
manners of a cosmopolitan gentleman
accustomed to social ways in the best
society in metropolitan certers, was
Arthur. The ablest and most thor
oughly equipped by mentality and &C
quirement was. Harrison. The most
calmly courageous, regardless of per-
sonal consequences to himself or his
political future III asserting and act
ing upon what he thought right, was
Cleveland. The most thorough master
OF congress, because of complete
knowledge of its methods, peculiari-
ties and eccentricities, was Mckinley"
Somehow or other Senator Depew
forgot TO mention Roosevelt. He
brought out the distinguishing trait in
the characters of several of the other
executives since Lincoln's time. but he
plumb forgot to mention the one whom
most people think combined most of
the virtues mentioned by Mr.. Depew,
together with few which might, be
added. Senator Depew's tribute to the
past occupants of the executive chair
is singularly incomplete.
