Ten thousand men there are who grab
ten thousand plunks day;
But what they do with such a sum
is difficult to say.
1t makes me laugh to hear some mutt
with millions in his jeans,
Advising poor delinquent dubbs to
live within their means.
I'm glad to be an honest man, to live
by earnest toll,
And get my meagre daily keep ac-
cordingly to Hoyle.
Nobody ever said of me, There goes
the money kid,
Who grabbed million tainted plunks
for what he never did"
But while boast of being poor, don't
think I'm really good, yI-.
I'd grab million spotted bones to-
morrow, if l could.
The world is full of honest folks like
me, who shout amen,
But it wouldn't do to trust them IN
horse trade, now and then.

CAMPAIGN cuRIosiTIEs.

The usual things happening in polf'
tics this year, says the st. Louis
Globe Democrat, can be sampled in
Ohio, where ex-President Roosevelt is
to speak against the denomination or
President Taft, native of the state,
and in favor of himself for a third
term. On the democratic side Mr..
Bryan, three times the presidential
nominee of his party, is stumping the
state to defeat the nomination at Bal
timore of Gov. Harmon, who enjoys
the unique distinction of having car
ried Ohio twice consecutively, the last
time by more than 100000 plurality
II is not to be denied that Byan's OPP
position to Harmon has had a telling
effect. Col. Roosevelt's supporters in
sist that his strenuous efforts are still
hopeful.
One of the peculiarities of this sit
uation is that both Roosevelt and
/ Bryan are firing into their own parties
rather than the opposition. Bryan
has just said in an Ohio speech: 1.-The
democratic voters, of this state have
it within their power to put an END
to the Harmon menace at the pri
maries May 81 and to make the Bal
timore convention a progressive love
| feast instead of death grapple with
Wall street" In the same state Col
Roosevelt enlarges on bosses and as
serts that Taft is their representativ'
Roosevelt was the chief advocate Of
Taft four years ago, having previous
ly given him place in his cabinet
and offered him a seat on the Su
preme bench. The bosses to whom
Roosevelt refers. whatever their pc
litical action may have been in the
past, have but recently excited his
displeasure, and still have his ap
prevail if they favor a third term
He admits that trust travelling his
way is congenial to him, and one
trust baron is literally helping tc
finance his canvass for at least foul
years more in the White House. Thus
Ohio beholds the democratic hero OF
three presidential battles training his
batteries on a democrat, while a re
publican ex-president directs a rapid
fire on republican president, Sc
lected, as he claims, by himself
Roosevelt admits that he wants Il
be the nominee again. Bryan is moi
an open candidate, but is unquestion
ably a possible one. The political
mix-up of 1912 is extraordinary.

Pure milk may be a sanitary

you would probably find, if you in
vestigated, that your doctor is pro
viding his family with an article that
he thinks is free from tuberculosis
germs and other filth. However, you
mustn't blame him. He really can't
afford to take chances when there are
so many victims of tuberculosis in
and about Grinnell who need his care
and pay him good money"
