How TO MAKE REPUBLIC

HOW TO MAKE REPUBLICANS.
Permit me to observe that he who
thinks that our estimable and high
ly-esteemed mayor doesn't know the
game of politics errs some.
Under the Hughes-Thompsonian
banner in the new tenderloin, Thirty
first street and east from State,
north and south for several blocks,
a one-eyed observer can see, march
ing arm-in-arm, figuratively, the
Protestant clergymen of the district,
the saloon men, the dive and resort
keepers, mere bangers-on, and most,
if not all, of the economically unde-
sirable class. In prominent church
presided over by a conspicuous friend
of the mayor you can have on any
Sunday a good, stalwart Hughes
Thompson sermon, plenty of criti-
cism, of the president, but not one
word as to the conditions existing
within a stones throw of the church,
in respect to Sunday sale of liquor,

Thompson cause, and other infrac4

itical job, regardless of the salary
attached, even though the campaign
expenses may exceed the emOlu-
ments involved. Note the placards
prominently displaying the union
label, in spite of the fact that the
candidate is a known labor foe.
Crooks are running for respectable
offices, emphasizing their honesty
in bold terms; lawyers indicted for
malpractice are determined to cap
tUTe the states attorneyship; tax
dodgers promise to be honest assess
Ors; ignoramuses aspire to be clerks
of high courts. Oh, what a shame
and a farce No wonder politics
sounds like polUtics and nearly spells
it. And, yet the poor voter swallows
the bait and ultimately pays for this
mismanagement. Yes, politics is be-
coming a profession nowadays; and,
while the voters are starving, the po-
iticians are pillaging the public
funds under color of Office.
Perhaps that is one Of the reasons
why prices are soaring; you see the
producer has to pay higher rates for
street car ads to meet the price offer
ed for it by the politicians and Office
seekers and the consumers pay it
eventually.

At the same time several other
