THE SPUR
VI A MOMENT
The Pessimist.
BY Roy X. Mouiton.

The Pessimist.
There's been a whole lot written OF the
value of a smile,
But still the Teller that goes round
a-smilin' all the while
And don't do nothin' else but smile,
no matter what is said,
Don't seem in this worlds goods to
get 50 very fur ahead.
You'll hear this idee harped on by the
optimist crowd,
There Is silver linin' bright to every
gol ding cloud,
But when the cloud Idissolves in air
and disappears from view,
The silver linin' gen'ally dissolves In
thin air, too.
The darkest hour comes just before
the dawn, they love tc say,
Although your own pertickler dawn Is
twenty years away.
It never helps the Teller much that's
workin' in the ditch
TO hear that some day. possibly, per-
haps he may be rfch-
They say that all things surely come
unto the man who waits,
But still there amt q mite Of hope
for him who hesitates,
The Teller who don't wait, but goes
right after things, you know,
He is the one who rings the bell and
grabs off all the dough.
The optimists and pessIn1ists can ar
que pro and con
And thrash out all the questions that
there are debatin' on.
But after all is said and done, think
that you will find
That misery or happiness Is just a
state Of mind.

The Democratic Campaign
Text Book.

The High Cost of Living" is the
keynote OF the Democratic text book
for 1912. issued by the Democratic ma
tional committee. The falIacy of a
protective tariff is exposed in a series
of articles prepared by experts who
have made a special study of the nu-
merous schedules of the Payne-Aldrich
bill.
Under the headings, "The High Cost
Of Living" Wool, the Keystone of
the Arch" Cotton Manufacturers"
Tariff Board a Fraud" How Tariff
was Raised on Cotton" "Dolliver on
Protection" Protection and Farmer"
That's Best Law Ever" "The Family
Sugar Bowl How Prices Have
Scared" Tariff and Manufacturers"
'The Tariff in the Home" Would
Save $2O,OOO.O0O.' United States Con-
sumers Pay Piper" the system of pro-
lection is attacked from every angle.
It is the most comprehensive and
carefully prepared exposure of it's
kind ever made from any political text
book.
The trusts are taken care of in an
able fashion. There is an article
bristling with new facts, concerning
the famous absorption of the Tennes-
see Coal & Iron Company by the
United States Steel Corporation in
1907; the report of the Harvester
Trust, which President Roosevelt held
up at the request of George w. Per-
kins, together with the correspondence
thereon. are published iii full The re-
suit of the Stanley investigation of the
United States Steel Corporation is
taken care of in two articles. "The
Greatest of Trusts" and How Inter
ests Control"
The interesting features of the book
are The True Roosevelt, by William
II. Taft" and 1.-THE True Taft, by
Theodore Roosevelt" These articles
are simply compilations of extracts
from the speeches of these two men
delivered in 1908 and 1912. They make
novel and amusing exhibit.
The data on the life and work Of
Governor Wilson and Governor Mar
shall is very complete. The story OF
the formers life was written by Will
liam Bayard Hale, the widely known
magazine writer. The laws that these
two men have caused to be enacted for
the benefit of labor, and the public
health, are treated special. There are
many other articles giving information
concerning practically every subject
that may be discussed in the campaign
In getting out the book so early, the
Democratic national committee has
not only beaten tie Republican and
third term parties, but has broken all
Democratic records. In former cam
paigns this book has appeared the
latter part of September or the irst OF
October. The textbook COMMITTEES
which had charge Of the preparation
OF the book was composed of Josephus
S' ~A~~AA Ao@AA VI hAo bureau o.
publicity; James T. Lloyd, chairman
of the Democratic congressional com.
mittee, and Robert Wickliffe Woolley
the latter the editor in charge of tn.
work
geographically the book is said by
experts to be the best one ever turned
out by campaign committee. TIL,
price OF the book is % cents copy
and orders will be filed from eithe

tional headquarters.

A pipe, a book,

A pipe, book,
A place to sit
And watch the birds
OF summer fit
From bough to bough
And MARBLE lays
OF gladness brought
By summer days.
A hammock in
A shady place,
A chance to look
On natures face
In admiration
OF her charms
We find so oft
Whene'er the tides
OF commerce flow.
A chance to stop
Beside the way
Retiring from
The worldly fray.
A chance to drop
The cares of life,
Forgetting all
OF worldly strife
To have content
And easy mind,
And pleasant thoughts
OF humankind.
Enough to eat
And perfect health
That's what makes up
Our dream of wealth.

DELIGHTFUL DANCE.

One OF the most original and attrac-
tive dances ever given in Alexandria
was the one given at the Elks auditor
ium last night by Thomas Chauncey
Chairman Of the Board OF Trustees OF
the Elks, complimentary to all those
who hay5 patronized The popular Wed.
uesdav night dances that have been
given all this winter bv the Elks Dane
ing Club. Mr.. Cbauncey announced
some time ago that this dance would
be an "Aexander's Ragtime Band'
dance but everyone thought it n joke
but the two hundred and more people
that were there last night found that
instead OF joke it was fact as the
band struck up "Alexandcr's Ragtime
Band" for the opening dance and
played it for all succeeding dances in
waltz tune, march tune and for the
two step, and in all keys. This lively
and attractive tune soon had the large
crowd present in a most happy mood.
Mr., Chauncey was congratulated by AL
present on the success of his idea.
