Bigger Men in Politics.

Since 1897 there have been no ma
tional politics to interest big men.
1t has been child's play; even the
Spanish war was a farce, although it
did produce Teddy and Funston. But
times have changed, and the big men
are going into politics and the little
men are being retired. Just think
OF Cannon and Aldrich running the
United States. But they have been
doing so, and no one able to say
them nay. When Roosevelt was
president he had to consult Cannon
and Aldrich, and was entirely sub
servient to their standpat congress
sional program. He constantly pro-
crastinated on recommending tariff
reform. No insurgency that amount
ed to anything developed during his
reign, for he always backed down
at the last minute and left any I'M
fortunate whom he had encouraged
would brag and buster, but he soon
subsidized when he found that he was
"up against it, He would not fight
a losing battle for fear of the result
on the page of history
Mr.. Roosevelt isNnow confronted
with some big men,-democrats who
do not fear him-and although they
may not be. so versatile as he, know
ing what they want, will get it.
All hail the day of bigger men in
American politics.

You mix for US TO take.
But let us get the slightest touch
OF something like disease-
We fly 20 you at once and cry.

These things when far away
And feel that always we will romp
Well as we are today.
A little pinching underneath
Our belt OF pinafore
Is all we need TO make US come
A-knocking at your door.
That's where you get your mighty draa
You sit around and wait
And know that we will have to hike
To see you soon or late.
And then you rubber at our tongue,
Ask where we feel 50 sore
And mutter as you shake your head
We should have come befora
IT'S not the whiskers on your face.
IT'S not the. things you know.
That makes US when we need a friend
To you for comfort go,

And stick to you like glue.
