POLITICAL INSTRUCTION

Henry Allen says THE women arr
bound to give us some new things IL
politics. Instructing class of fe
male stump speakers at Chicago, Miss
M. X. Lyons says:-"A political
speech should be as beautiful as q
painting; its sequence Of ideas should
resemble the natural passage OF
chords of music. Avoid a surplus of
scattered IDEAS"
It's all right to try it. Heretofore
the stump speech has been largely a
daub of whitewashing and a natural
passage of chords of tomfoolery with
out any surplus of ideas, scattered
or conglomerated. Beautiful word
pictures, melody and ideas may really
make hit.
But, let us advise Miss Lyons
class that the efficacy of the stump
speech depends very much on its
adoption to the crowd surrounding
the stump. The beautiful painting
and chords of music, in other words,
should harmonize with the audience.
For instance Paint Jeff Davis on
a sour apple tree or sing "John
Browns Body Goes Marching" be-
fore Georgia crowd and there will
be one effect. Whereas a picture of
"The Victor Taking the Spoils" and
that old anthem, "We Won't Go
Home Until Morning" would have an
entirely different effect upon the same
crowd.
The objects of stump speaking are
conversion and cooperation and, to
arrive at these, the pictures, the music
and the crowd must be en- rapport.
We once knew a stump speaker to
announce to the crowd in the "bloody
Fifth" that the ward was so bad that
in entering it for social calls he al
ways hog-tied his horse and padlocked
his buggy wheels. The picture, in
this instance, was skillfully painted,
but the speaker was last heard of
hiding some distance from his stump
However, let us not be construed
as intending to depreciate the intro
duction of the higher arts in political
meetings. Anything the women can
do to soften the blasphemy and tone
the political stump speakings will be
gratefully received. Indeed, in every
crowd there are some who predicate
their politics on much worse things
than pictures and songs. There's
lovely bunch of such folks in Chica-
go, anyhow
