Campaigns Differ.

What's become Of the old-fashioned man
who carried dripping oil torch and woreNa
bius and red oilcloth cape in the Blaine and
Logan campaign torchfight professions!
What's become of the methods OF political
campaigns Of yasteryear! What's become Of
the great horseback parades Of both parties,
when all the young bucks from nearby
townships came In O. nights on the plow horses
and rode two abreast down the street BY the
blaze of the oil torch and the blare Of the
brassey band?
They're gone.
Old campaign methods are out of style, like
bustles and hoopskirts. The custom of pla-
csrding- the windows Of the American home
with pictures of the head Of the family's ia
vorite candidate still exists. But even that
may cause trouble. now that father may like
the looks Of Harding, while mother favors Cox
And II there are voting children, look out
for complications
Yes, and what's become Of the old-time
pole-raising? Those were the days.
Todays presidential campaign has become
matter Of cold calculating. efficient organ
ization, and machine-l like execution. They
don't seem to be able to stir up the excitement
that they did when tho Cleveland and Hem

There has always been difference Of opin-

not make the news. It Is made by the people.
Naturally. when you pick up your paper and
read Of suicide the first question that comes
to your mind IL what caused the death. When
the newspaper neglects to tell how the victim
killed himself it fails in it, whole duty to its
readers. yet many papers are refusing to give
enlightenment on this detail in connection with
suicides. because Of the evil effects referred
to. Some day, perhaps, the press of the ma
ton will come to an Agreement on this mooted
question Doubtless 1t would be better for all
concerned were suicide details kept from the
