thrown as sop the office OF state

work over to d. M. Waite, a printer
at Salem, and took what rake-off he
could get by dividing up with the

Such were the conditions when the
late Frank @. Baker broke the
slate some 20 years ago and was

state printer in fact as well as in

The Sound and Fury of Politics.

Politicians in denOuncing each other,
or in characterizng the policies OF the
opposition. do not always mean what they
saw Here are two stories full OF COM
fort and information at a time when
very hot national contest is on the eve
Of Inauguration.
When Mr. Roosevelt landed at home
the other day the famous Tammany
orator Senator Tom Grady. was one Of
the multitude TO greet him. They have
known each other for years, and while
opposed in politics have been on good
personal terms. While Mr.. Roosevelt was
Governor of New York Mr.. Grady was
the democratic leader in the state senate.
and as such frequently in debate roast
ed the governor in true Tammany style
One day he called with a photograph Of
Mr.. Roosevelt. and asked for the latter's
autograph on it, which. of course. he got.
AS he turned away he was quizzed by the
governor in this way: What are you
going to call me nova january, or a
satrap?'
II think I'll call you Caligula." was Mr..
Grady's reply. And probably during the
rest of the session OF the legislature MI
Grady continued his assaults on his per-
sonal friend, to the applause Of the un-
initiated groundlings, but to his own and
his friends amusement.
Mr.. McMillip Of Tennessee, who will
probably be sent to the Senate. was
when a member of the House a warm
personal friend Of Thomas B. Reed.
When Mr.. Reed was Speaker Mr.. McMll-
lin served on the rules committee. and
contested with great warmth on the floor
every special report made by the ma
jority of the committee. His favorite
Characterization of an effort of the ma
jority to expedite business by the Reed
plan was delivered with great feeling:
This. Mr.. Speaker. is an outrage"
One day Mr.. McMillin was late in
reaching the committee room. and found
that the business had been transacted. Mr..
Reed. who was writing. looked up and
said: I'VE were sorry to have to do with
out you. Mac. We waited as long as we
could. There'-pointing to a paper on the
tablets the latest outrage agreed
upon"
The air and the drawl with which the
shot was delivered proved too much for
Mr.. McMillin's gravity. and he left the
room in a roar of laughter. THE latest
outrage was duly denounced in debate,
and the too-confiding galleries were duly
impressed. But the man in the chair never
turned a hair, and saw with only Ian
guild interest the Outrage" adopted by
the House.
Let the good people refrain from too

The Big Argument.

In vain they seek to lure the mind
To problems OF economy.
In vain they ask il human kind

The question now which through the
land
Brings panic intellectual
Is whether Jim or Jack will land
The final punch effectual.
VIII Jim give Jack an uppercut
With undisguised ferocity?
VIII Jack leave Jims eye sore and shut
With ardent reciprocity?
'Mongst problems which disturb our
dreams
And set our pulses rioting.
This Jim-Jack controversy seems
Most constant and disquieting.
