Suffers Short Speeches. By the
Hon. William Sulzer, chairman of the
committee on foreign affairs of the
house of representatives. j. S. Ogil-
vie Publishing Company, New York.
Timeliness is one Of the numerous
recommendations of this valuable
book, which is trimming with helpful
information. These terse, crisp
speeches have been carefully compil-
ed from the records of congress and
presented in attractive form, making
the volume one we'll worth while.
The summary of the good qualities
.of the book as presented by the pub
fishers is complete and suggestive:
First-Because it gives political his
tory for the past quarter of century
and tells about live issues and MAJ
ters of public moment.
Second Because of the style; the
terse epigrams; the patriotic senti-
ments; the vivid word pictures; and
the purity of the diction of the
speeches.
Third-Because the greatest politi-
cal campaign in our history is nov
on, and you should be posted on ques-
tons of the day.
Fourth-Because these short speech
es, by ones of the foremost leaders in
American public life, will post You
and give you valuable information on
more than a hundred world topics.
Fifth-Because the book is abou
you, directly or indirectly, and should
be read by every intelligent and pa
triotic citizen in America.

The Republican party is seething

And it adds: IF Ryan and Murphy, if
Wall street and Tammany, dominate
the Baltimore convention the Demo-
cratic party will likewise be seething

will not submit to be tricked and de-
frauded forever by corrupt bosses and
corrupt plutocrats.

II all who hate would love us,
And all our loves were true,
The stars that swing above us
Would brighten in the blue;
If cruel words were kisses,
And every scowl smile,
A better world than this is,
Would hardly be worth while.
? If purses would not tighten
To meet brothers need,
The load we bear would tighten
Above the grave of greed.
If those who whine would whistle,
And those VINO languish laugh,
The rose would rout the thistle,
Tne grain Outrdn tie chaI;
If hearts were only jolly,
If grieving were forgot,
And tears of melancholy
Were things that now are not;
Then love would kneel to duty
And all the world would seem
a bridal bower of beauty,
u.eam WITHIN a dream.
-
If neighbor spake to neighbor,
AS love demands to all,
TIE rust would eat the sabre,
The spear stay on the wall;
Then every eye would glisten
And every day would SHINE,
And God would pause to listen,
And life would be divine.

There is much satirical commenda-
ton of the self restraint that KEPT
Roosevelt from going to the conven-
ton hall, kicking Root out of the
chair, taking the gavel and running
things to suit himself. Maybe, though,
it was the twelve hundred cops and
not self restraint, after all.
