Children especially. But I Just told the
in charge to not let any grown

Yet I know. as sure as I'm standing
here. that when Mrs. Ransle called 10
her little boy. Johnny. TO come IN the
house she pumped the child about how
much dust he noticed passing into the
machine"
What do you care?" said Mr.. Jarr.
You wouldn't have got your moneys

"Of course. ia like TO have one OF
those handsome vacuum cleaners of my
own to keep in the house." Mrs. Jarr
went on. '4hey are so chem. too. Only
SO. cut we have no electricity in these
old fashioned flats. and so that's out of
the question. So ! a the wagon come,
although, as I said. 1t did attract a lot
OF attention in the neighborhood.'
You could have avoided the atten-
ton. They have portable u
cleaners they pump by hand"
They charge you Just ms much to

I nave 10 pay out six dollars of my

complained to the janitor because the

I'm glad of it,
"How a a man have any luck who

He doesn't deserve IT,"
You think It only just, then, that a

THE DEMOCRATIC A C

- ROM the Democratic League comes a resolution
urging upon the Democratic members Of the
XSTTMU XRdA Legislature "thc serious Importance Of prompt
WMhMN and unqualified performance of the party promises
s&YWMY as contained in the Rochester platform"
1t is strange that such urging should be needed.
The party in this State and in the nation has
long been out of power. Last fall the people, exasperated by the
subservcnce of the Republican party to the big interests as e1em-
pliied in the tariff, and Disguised with the revelations made of the
inner working Of the Republican machine at Albany, recalled The
Democratic party to power. That party is now on trial. A Presi-
dental election is approaching And yet the Democratic Legislators
" at Albany have to be urged to attend to their duty.
Republican subservience TO the trusts is not worse than Demo
cratic subservience to Tammany Hall. The trusts at least are not
so insolent in their domination as is the boss of Tammany. There
fore it behooves Democracy to shake off the Tammany faint if it
wishes to carry this State next year. The League is on the right
track, but it will have to do something more than pass resolutions
if it expects to win. The Cohaan vote is ominous.
