| Hesitate to Explain.
Funny how one single fellow can in
nocently cause a great deal of excite
ment, yet it happens sometimes. Here
is how it was done on one Of the main
streets of West Philadelphia:
The other afternoon young man
was crossing Fifty second street. He
held his head thrown back as if to look
at something high i'll the air. He stop
ped when he reached the sidewalk, and
three or four people came up behind
him.
After standing there a few minutes
the young man started up the street.
A little farther he stopped again. still
gazing up at the sky In a few min
utes thirty or forty people had assem-
bled. Apparently the young man was
a bit hard of hearing. for he paid no
attention TO the comments of the
crowd.
They followed him up the street. He
stopped once more, this time in front
of moving picture theater which was
letting out after the matinee perform

was his cue to spring joke. But still
nothing happened.
The young man, with the mob still
at his heels, walked on until he reach
ed a nearby public square. While the
spectators wondered he stopped at a
drinking fountain. took cup from his
pocket, filled it. drained it and then
looked around inquiringly at the
crowd.
Say, what's the matter?" said one
fellow who had kept up with the pro-
cession from the start

game law. He was sleeping at a
hotel and at about 2 o'clock in the
morning was awakened by the noise
of an automobile Looking out of
the window he discovered what he
took to be an auto loaded down with
deer or elk. The car had stopped in
the street at the hotel, and he imme-
diately dressed and went down. His
suspicious we're we'll founded, for
from under the bullying canvas which
covered the back end of the car pro-
truded two large rifles. Upon ap-
preaching the car he accosted the
two men and asked if they had been
hunting. Upon being informed that
they had, Mr.. Whitehead told them
he was game warden and he
guessed they we're the men he was
looking for and he would have to ex-
anime their load. The men then
said they we're just joking, that they
had come through from Montana.
However the deputy told them he
would have to see what they had
and amid their protestations proceed
ed to throw back the canvas. The
sight disclosed the back end of a big
car loaded to capacity with booze.

POLITICAL MONGGE1lSIu.

AS an excuse for the PROPOSE
ton that men may vote Ill the
Democratic primary tor Barret

election for Parker, We are tod
it is "a good rule of statecralt
to encourage minorlties to full eA-
preston.
There is no relation between
the rule and the proposition. A
proposition that is inherently dis
honest can stand the test of no
rules of stateclaft.
The Louisiana election laws
provide amply for the rights of
the minority. The law does not
undertake to compel any man,
even if he is registered as a Dem
ocrat, to enter the primary on
January 25th. It gives him full
liberty Of action. If he no long
er is in sympathy with Democ1a-
tic principles or if he thinks neith-
er Col. Pleasant nor Mr.. Barret
is of the stuff from which a sue
cessful Louisiana governor can be
made. he is free. in law and
morals, to vote in April for Mr..
Parker, without any loss of re-
spect.
But against the will of the So
called city organization and over
its protest, a direct. legal primary
was demanded and the General
Assembly of Louisiana. with the
Hon. N. c. Blanchard in the gov
ernor's office. enacted the present
law, making it compulsory for
the Democratic party to select it's
nominees by the primary method,
and forbidding the participation
of any voter in the primary who
did not take an oath that he was
a Democrat.

Arnold when he turned traitor to

1t is this very sort of offense
for which men are being lined up
against walls and executed in the
foreign armies.
There is no penalty in law
which can be enforced against
men who are guilty Of srch

Asked if he did not believe that
the sentiment for preparedness
was spreading throughout the
country, Mr.. Ford admitted that
> it was. but insisted that it was
"transitory and doomed to ulti-
mate abandonment"
"This growing cry, this crush
ing wall for preparedness is one
of the most dastardly influences
ever at work in this nation" he
said. 1T is a snake that every
clean, decent thinking man should
fight with every ounce of strength
there is in him.

Then it was that Mr.. Ford,

turned his words to an excoriation
of capitalism-a diatribe so in
tense that he involuntarily lifted
his shoulders from the car side
against which he had been lean
