The colonel proceeds: THE action of the
Chicago convention. and TO an only less
degree of the Baltimore convention, have
shown in striking fashion how little the
''peepul' do rule under present condi-
tons"
That's the answer-the "peepul" don't
rule The republican party simply took
the "peepul'' by the back of the neck and
the intellectual droop in their trousers,
and threw them out of the Chicago con-
vention, and In Baltimore 1t was even
worse since the "peepul'' was not even
there TO throw out so what can a poor
girl do?
But" continued the colonel, I'VE prom
Use nothing that we cannot carry out we
promise nothing which will jeopardize
honest business"
That Is promising some. You got to
hand 1t to the colonel and the "peepul''
that they are first rate promsers, and
that's all there is to 1t.
or course. the 'peepul'' gave the glad
hand to the colonel, and he was cheered
to the echo and all the way back again.
The '.peepui" from every state in the
union were right there through the med
ium of their patriotic and unselfish and
unsophstfcated Representatives Repre-
sentatives fresh from the soil, who stand
right next to nature so to speak Expert
ISLANDERS next to nature, from Pennsyl-
vania, like Bill F1inn--oh. you Bill and

districts that turns a handspring and

And so here at last we have had a ma

All the details were carefully attended

detail, you betcher life.
, OF course, you understand-that Colonel
Roosevelt was there and submitted TO the
'peepul' few suggestions. Colonel
Roosevelt is a very cheerful submitter OF
suggestions--that is his particular long
suit. Colonel Roosevelt may be little
violent at times, and folks who are not
used to his ways might think that he was
debating, but-perish the thought--he
never dictates to the "peepul,' he merely
suggests. Colonel Roosevelt has been sug-
costing TO the republican party for about
10 or II years, and so long as the repub-
liean party followed the colonels sug-
gestions. all went well, but there came a
day, and an unhappy day II was for the
republican party, when they hardened not
unto the voice of the colonel, but calmly
and judicially canned his suggestions and
put them in cold storage, right at that
moment the republican party betrayed the

But Colonel Roosevelt simply went to
Chicago and outlined a few nice, fresh
policies-none like them on the market
for the progressives He suggested that
they nominate me for President, and who
ever youdamplease for vice president, so
long as he pleases me, and hand the col
ored brother down south where he can't
vote a nice pink slip with Goodnight"
printed thereon, and TO the coored broth
er up north. where he can vote, and
where, yea verify, he cuts some ice, the
glad hand. and he pointed out a few
things that possib y some folks had. in
the rush of affairs, overlooked, he said:
Neither the republican nor the demo-
cratic platforms or managers show any
adequate recognition of the mighty fact
that we are now in the midst of great
economic evolution"
Now then, | hope that holds you for
while. Strange as 1t may seem, they GER
tainly seemed to have overlooked 1t, and
certainly IL is a very important point. Be-
ing in the midst of a great economic
evolution is no joke, and how the repub-
leans and democrats could pass up such
condition OF affairs Is indeed marvel
Gus. There ought TO be something done
about it.

The Cholera Suspect.

We are taking precautions against
cholera. At Montpelier recently it
was thought there was a well-de-
fined case of Asiatic cholera. The
mayor at once took all precautions
authorized by law. Two days later a
man was brought to the hospital as q
suspect. The hospital inferno, as he
came near to the patient, quickly
drew back, saying, How you smell
of rum."
The answer came with a drunken
grin. Certainly, have drank a good
deal Of rum. It's excellent against
the cholera"
The inferno allowed him to remain
during the night In the morning the
drunkard left entirely cured. An hour
later he returned. You'll have to
take care of me here. My house has
been closed and is guarded by four
gendarmes for seven days, allowing
10 one to go in or come out. II you
don't take me in as patient I shall
be arrested for vagabondage. From
