Choking Bryan with
Butter.

Choking Bryan with butter''
is an expression used by a staff
correspondent of the New York
Sun. 1t refers to the President
as the man who is performing
this kind of execution. Some of
the Presidents friends express
the same idea by saying that the
Nebraskan lecturer is being Civ
en- rope enough to hang himself.
AS explained in detail. these fig-
ures of speech mean that Presi-
dent Wilson is deliberately pur-
suing the policy of letting his
secretary OF State follow his own
sweet will, in the confidence that
to use another figure of speech
he will cut his own throat, ard
thus eliminate himself as a rival
to the President in 1916.

Men interested in the politics

correspondent says:
THE new party outside of the
corporate limits of Indianapolis

Giving Thanks.
This is the Thankful Month.

This is the Thankful Month.
A lot of us-too many-save up
our thanks, in order to be in
style, and voice those apprecia-
tions over an overloaded table on
the last Thursday ir the month.
And a lot of us voice our re-
grets, later on, for transferring
that overload from The table to
our own internal economy
But no matter!
The point is, we're actually
grateful enough, once a year, to
thank Omnipotence-and to ask
for further favors.
Perhaps, when we're observ-
ing Thanksgiving Day this year,
we may decide that it would be a
rather nifty idea not to save up
all our thanks fer the one day so
named-but to scatter 'em thro'
the whole busy year.
It's worth thinking about! Yes?

Assistant Democrats.

About ten days ago there was
an election for Supreme Court
Judge in illinois, and it was the
most fiercely contested judicial
contest in the history of the state,
the election being in a district
and not in the state at large.
The Progressives gave" the el-
ection to the Democratic candi-
date, but the result showed, as
IN every case the country over,
that the Third party is dwindling
away. A year ago in the dis
trict the PlogresSives carried
seven counties and the Republi-
cans none: in the recent election
the Republicans carried three
and the ProgressiveS one.
