Why weather is SO frequently another name
for rain,
II it's showery on Sunday. you may make
little bot,
That Monday. on the whole, will be pre-

Then Tuesday will be influenced by Mon
days steady pour,
And Wednesday will, of course, be like the
day that went before.
When Thursdays rainy after this you'll
know the reason why,
And when it's gone you won't expect the
Friday to be dry;
Blame Friday II the Saturday turns road
ways Into hogs,
And sends another Sunday when it's rain
Ing cats and dogs

This lesson from learned son Of Meteor

Comparative price schedule:


Omaha, Nov. ITO the Editor Of
The Bee: Yes, the election is over, and
most of the socialist candidates were
defeated; but this was to be expected.
Popular apathy and ignorance made
it inevitable. That there have been
gains in the socialist vote, however, is
a foregone conclusion. That there
have been great gains Is entirely pos
sible. No party could make a cam
paign as the socialist party did and
fail to make itself felt in the election
returns.
But, whatever the vote. the social
list movement goes marching on. 1t
refuses to be sidetracked. 1t will not
purchase power at the price of princit
Pile. 1t maintains itself intact in spite
Of fake political issues and the noisy
sham battles of capitalist party can
didates. Its work is essentially one
of education, and its activity in the
political arena only incidental thereto.
For the socialist movement. while
mindful of the present, is building for
the future, and the hope Of the hu-
man race is in its fidelity.
