tQ..A

If the supreme function of
tragedy be, as the Greeks de-
clared, to arouse in us pity and
terror, it is not as an artist alone
that Louis Raemaekers will go
down into history. The scathing
irony Of his caricatures stirs us,
by the subtlest of all methods, to
a sense of shame and of horror;
he has laid bare the very soul of
America in her passion of pro-
test against unbearable wrongs.

You may not believe it. But the fat head who won't listen to reas on when you are arguing with him is thinking the same thing of you.
 And just because your wife says: '1ts no use talking" don't get the idea into your head that she isn't going to.
 It often happens that a girl who doesn't need glasses has to go about with specks on her nose.
 Of course it is none of our bus mess. But what has become of the old-fashioned "off year. in pol- tics?
 The trouble with following the crowd is that when you get there it is all over.
 The man who thinks he knows it all had better say single. He won't get a chance to tell it if he gets married.
 During the courting days he signs because he cant hand her poem on her eyes And some years later he signs because he cant hand her a wallop on her beak. /
 A wife may not lack a sense of humor any more than a husband. But she is afraid that if she laughs she will grow fat
 There are all sorts of male ami mals in this world, including the man who would rather get married than work for a living.
 The reason why a boy likes to stay home from a circus and mind the house while the rest of the fam fly go is because his grandmother gets up at o'clock every morning and poses as September Morn" in a tub of water in the back yard

A CLOSED INCIDENT
(Douglas Island News.)

Douglas Island NeWs)
 The very emphatic in which the people at the polls Tuesday repudiated the efforts Of Wckersham and his henchmen to dictate the conduct of both Republican and Democratic affairs in Alaska practically makes of Wickersham closed incident AS a prominent Republican heard to say Wednesday, "It the death gurgle of Wickersham's political ambitions far as Alaska is concerned"
 With opposition in his own pary-or the party he has lately tackled tofor nomination, he es. saved to ball things up for the Democrats by creating split in their ranks and thereby placing in nomination whom he could more easily defea: his reckonngs went awry. Mrs, Hatcher inflated with of her influence over having sue cessully carried the nonpartsan issue of prohibition to a successful conclusion, returned to Alaska an avowed champion of Wckersham. So certain was she that her hold Alaskans firm they would unhesitatingly do her bidding, she counseled them to prostitute the primary election aw-told Re publcans to support Maloney and defeat Suzer at the primaries and then vote for Wickersham in the fall.
 The result of such political brgandage was that Republicans who but mildly inclined to support Wickersham became dsgusted and said, We will have of him., and they either did not vote for Delegate at the primaries Tuesday or if they did vote, they voted for Suzer and will vote for him again in November.
 The attempt to make joke of the primary law by the Wckites in Alaska has done to clear the atmosphere of political crookedness and has done for Delegate SulZer than could possibly have been accomplished for him by any other means The house which his enemies constructed had its foundation in the sand and it toppled over burying it's builders in the ruins.

The cost Of the trip stopovers and time consume his profits and conseouently the men break about even, no profit being realized except that the meat helps out wonderfully during open season for Alaskans who have lived all Summer fish and in Win ter on a straight bean diet
