An Exciting Town.

From the Portland Oregonian.
Los Angeles is q truly exciting town
to live in. To say nothing Of its heaven
ly climate and its bombs, there is always
something stimulating in the occult line
going on. Just the other day a widow
Of the angelic city began to long for a
sight of one of her schoolmates whom
she had not seen for forty-fve years.
The longing brought its fulhllment. A
spirit told her to look for him in Brook
lyn. She obeyed, met him on the street
a few hours after she arrived, and
promptly married him. 1t is worth while
to live in a city where things like this
happen, even at the risk of being blown
up now and then.

ample. There the election was a kind
Of masked bail affair, a Democrat wore
a Republican mask and appeared as the
Republican candidate and a Republican
wore a Democratic mask and stood on
the Democratic ticket And the Democrat
on the Republican ticket was an unpop-
ular Democrat. while the Republican on
the Democratic ticket was a popular Re
publican, and the Republican was elected
as a Democratic Congressman. Il would
puzzle almost any honest man 70 extract
the political significance Of that result
but it did not puzzle those who in this

POLITICAL COMMENT.
plight of the independent.


From the Philadelphia Public Ledger
The proverblal Democratic ineptitude
which has long been considered one of
the Republican party's most valuable
assets appears 10 find illustration in
Pennsylvania alone this year. In this
State III fortune or maladroitness cuts
with a two-edged sword, because it
threatens not merely TO deprive the
Democrats of hope. but to nulIify abso-
lutely the force of what should be cher
ished as good citizenship's most valu-
able ally-the Independent vote.
In New York, Connecticut, New Jersey
Massachusetts, and Ohio the man who
disregards party tags and desires TO
make his influence felt knows that his
vote will count definitely on one side or
the other. The powerful body OF Penn

Republicans who will not vote for Tener.
constitute an army who are divided
against themselves. The serious Ande-
pendent who Is against the organization
has presented to him the lame and inn
potent conclusion that the result OF years
or effort will be the triumph OF the very
organization which both Democrats and
independents are ostensibly warning upon.

A Southern Magazine.

Six years have passed since we ventured
to publish magazine representative Of the
South and West. To-day we stand alone
in the light of a successful and progressive
literary magazine, devoted exclusively to
the interest Of the Southern and Western
people. The field which we represent can
not be covered by any other publication,
that is why we stand on solid ground. We
are MISUNDERSTANDING the development of
our Southern INDUSTRIES. We give the
people an opportunity to read Of what is
being done to-day. This is brief outline
of what the Taylor rotwood Magazins is
doing. We are satisfied that this is the
best one dollar and fifty cent magazine
published, but we are not satisfied with our
mailing list. You may get other maya
zines for less than S1.5O, but you can't get
the Taylor Trotwood. 1t is worth that, at
least. Send your subscription to
