LOOKS LOIkE A DIMMYCRATIC
YEAR.

Mr.. Dooley, having passed through
the troubled seas of matrimonE with,
out losing his keen sense of humor,
returns TO one of his piquant dis
cussions of current politics tits week
and in his usual ininitable way dis.
sects the situation as a Democrat of
the old, Northumberland school sees
il. His comments are full of sarcasm At
times AMI always biting in their witty
penetration Of the facts below the sur
face Of things. He has this to say about
Democracy in the past and at pres
ent:
"Ginrally speal5in' a Dimmycrat was
an undesirable immigrant tat had
got past Ellis Island. If man i'm
proved his station in life he showed it
be moyin' firm a Dimmycrat to Re-
publican ward. A Republican saloon
was a caffey an a Dimmycrat saloon
was a doggery. Ivry time l cast ME
vote | was made to feel that | had
betrayed me native land.
TIL highest use tn Dimmycrat par
to clane out tn Republican household.
lVry Wans't in a while tn betther iii
mint in tn Republican party got lick
ed at tn prim ries an reached out f'r
us to scour tn fiure in tn old home.
Win we'd been used FIR a year an got
most iv tn Republican dirt ON us tlev
threw us out in tn alley.
But it's different this wear, Hinnis-
sy. tn Dimmycrat party is no longer
low an vulgar. It's tn hite iv fash
ion, an tn home iy wealtA. | blush
to r'read what's said " me in tn
pa-apers. I'm tn boolwark iy tn
constitution. I'm tn savior iY prop
erty; tn Supreme coort can sleep a
dhreamless Sleep, KNOWN that I'm on
guard. II anythin' should happen to
me civilization wud take a tack
somersauE. FIR II first time in NE
life, finimesilf in tn same party with
iv'ry man who's richer tn day afther
pay day thin he was tn day before
II We see an Old gintlemfn with white
side whiskers an golod-rimmed glasses
readin' tn DRY Goods Economist in
corner iv tn car don't go and step
on his feet. Set Down beside him an
talk TO him as a fellow Dimmycrat. If
We want to swing aEnywan let 60 a
punch at tn lean man with tn long
hair that's denouncin' corporations
because he was carrid past his block.
He's a Republican. We lave more
millyonaires in tn party thin we'd find
in a SOCIALIST novel"
Like many another good Democrat
Dooley has his fears as to the per
manency of this remarkable compan-
ionship. Millions of the old school
will laugh over his musings, while
recognizing that they express their
own vague surmisings. Says the
philosopher:
AN there We ARE. We've got thin
ON our hands an well have to change
our entire methods iv Twin as long as
they stay. AftLar awhile within they
get tired iv seem our faces i'm tn, back
yard they u leave us But in tn mane-
time we thry an not do annvtbing
That will make Thin onhappv. Hinnis-
sy. Ramimber that they were timdher-
