But first, listen to this fable: -
A pair of frogs, disporting them
selves in brook, were suddenly
scooped up by a milkman's dipper and
found themselves in a can of milk.
They swan round and round until
certain that the shiny walls had no
openings. Then one of them said:
"Batracha, there's no hope.'.
Whereupon he stopped kicking and
sauk to the bottom.
The other said:
There's hope, always hope, if keep
on kicking.
Hours later, in the city, the milk
man opened his can. He found one
frog dead at the bottom. The other
was seated high and dry on a pat of
butter, which its constant kicking
had churned from milk.
Now, girls, if you work just as hard
as that frog kicked, you cannot help
win in this or any other contest.

An interesting incident of the past
week has been the approval by the
governor and the subsequent payment
of claim of Charming Seabury for
services in connection with the. CAPT.
toll commission which Governor
johnson, acting on the advice of ex-
Attorney General Young, had refused
to entertain as not authorized in full
by law. The amount in dispute was
comparatively small. Seabury's en-
tire claim was 81, 800. A part of this,
it is admitted, he was entitled to, but
Governor Johnson insisted that some
of the items were not authorized by
law. He offered to sign voucher for
part of the per diem claimed. Sea-
bury wanted all or nothing. Governor
johnson could not see his way clear
to authorizing its payment and war.
rant was not issued. !
There the matter rested up to a
short time ago, when Seabury appar-
emily thought the time propitious
again to push his,claim. The matter
was put up TO Attorney General
Simpson. In carefully written
opinion, signed by him, Mr.. Simpson
cautiously evades giving decided
opinion as to the legality of the bill.
He points out that under certain Cir
cumstances the payment of per diem
was authorized by law and that under
other circumstances She (Seabury) is
entitled to no remuneration whatever
there being no law authorizing the
same, and concludes by putting the
whole matter up to the governor in
these words; sit is my opinion that
it is your duty and that of the audi
tor to ascertain the number of days
of service actually rendered by this
claimant; in other words, the same is
a question of fact.
Here comes in the peculiar circum-
stance that when the claim was sub
mitted to the auditor it was accom-
panied by another decision purport-
ing to emanate from the attorney
generals Office and signed g"
attorney general" endorsing the claim
in full. This opinion, Mr.. Simpson
says, ne never saw, and no one can be
found to father it, but, acting on its
authority, the auditor issued war
rant for the total amount of the Sea.
bury claim. The present indications
are that, in so far as this second
opinion purports to have emanated
from the attorney generals Office, it
is forgery. Whether the governor
was also imposed upon by it does not
clearly appear.
Subsequent to- approving the bill,
however, Governor Eberhartis report
ed to have said sthat he considered
it legal and reasonable charge, and
that it was held up in the first in
stance because the Democratic adj
ministration could not get the patro-
mage which the capitol commission
controlled" The late governors
friends are inclined to resent Cover
nor Eberhart's imputation that John
son was Influenced by political con-
siderations to refuse to acklowledg a
just claim. .'>

mites are ready enough to rally round
Mr.. McGarry, who whatever else may
be said of him, alwayshas his nerve
with him.

Lindberg made his campaign along
much the same lines as Miller. He
knew beforehand what would happen.
When he went to Washington he
didn't do "the only sensible thing,
and repudiate all the pledges he made
to the people who elected him. He
was content, so long as he represented
the people, to be relegated to that
limbo to which insurgents are con-
signed and "made holy show OF him.
self" by keeping faith with his consti-
tuents and mourning the displeasure
of the party bosses. That only can
didates of the McGarry stripe can be
found willing to take the field against
him indicates that perhaps after all
it isn't such bad politics to play up to
the people. There are some notable
cases i'm which it won. If the politi-
clans had their way Roosevelt
wouldn't be a name to conjure with,
and Hughes would have been disciplin-
ed long ago for having the assurance
to keep faith with the public and to
appeal to the voters when politicians
went back on him.
