1t isn't every man of 80 who
would be looking ahead three
years, planning political plans and
patching up party fences to the
end that he might retain his SEN
atorial toga, but that is what
Senator Shelby Moore Cullom
known in Springfield, H., and
Washington, d. c., as Uncle
Shelby" is doing.
The dean of American lawmak-
ers-he has been making laws for
over a half century-is getting
old. too old, Illinois youngsters
like Mckinley, Deneen and Yates
think, and there has been under
course of construction a handy
pair of rollers intended for "Uncle
Shelby's" benefit when his sixth
term expires, in 1918. But as
aforesaid, Senator Cullom is plan
ming, and he is the finest example
of the noiseless statesman in
this or any other country.

Editor Times:
l just want to take a few mo-
ments of my time and little
space in your valuable paper to
call the attention OF my socialist
friends or other kickers (please
don't think l am using sarcasm,
for | am not, for l would be a
socialist or some other kicker, did
| not think the time for partisan
ship was past and kicking also,
and all pull together for good,
truth and brotherly love). AS !
was saying, l wish to call the at
tention of our beloved people to
the fact, the glorious fact, that
the Rockefeller millions are to be
put to good account.
l know it seems almost too FOOD
to be true, but when we realize
that only the good is true, then
we can understand that the
power of good nothing can with
stand.
Watch for the good in the
signs of the times"
Respectfully,

Beerbohm, but could not just then
