The Coming Issue in Politics

Last Saturday night a large mum.
Der of citizens of Seattle met to
welcome Former Secretary of the
Interior Richard A. Ballinger. In
the course of an address delivered
by Mr.. Ballinger he said: Gin view
of my experience in public office at
Washington / have wondered how ii
were possible to call good men from
their prosperous, happy lives into
the dangers Of public service and
give them just and secure protection
against the scandalmongers and
political intriguers. The only way,
it seems to me, to protect an honest
and trustworthy public official
against such assassins of character
is to make it the duty of the attorney
general to prosecute at public ex-
pense the wicked defamer of his
official acts.
Let me warn you that the great
coming issue of American politics,
national in scope and upon which
parties must be constructed, is the
question of whether we are to retain
our republican il stitutions in their
comparative purity or permit our
government to be transformed into
a socialistic democracy. plead
with my fellow citizens to be tenn
perate in their consideration of all
changes which affect the fundamen.

The Wav Of the World.

The Way of the World.
Aloft on a bow the fair fruit hung.
caressed by the wind and kissed by the
sun,
And, standing below as it swung out OF
reach,
One longed for taste of SO luscious a
peach.
One just as perfect was lying below,
Where the tickle wind tossed 1t hours ago,
Its tint as dainty. its form as round,
But nobody cared. for it lay on the ground.
It is ever the fruit that Is just beyond
reach
Re IT fame or honor or love or peach,
Man longs for the most, why we never
will know.
Yet he scorns to pick where the fruit
grows low.
