OLLA WELLS, Gold Democrat, has been elected Mayor of St. Louis. Mr. Bryan thinks that town has gone not wisely, but too Wells. [§ BOSTON they have had a milk war and a sym- posium on coon-songs, simul- taneously. We outsiders, be- yond the pale of the Hub, have no conception of what the strenuous intellectual life really is. BRER JOHN JASPER, the eloquent preacher and black Galileo of Richmond, Virginia, is dead; but his renowned solar hypoth- “de sun do move,” is still the only one that plumbs with Holy Writ. N OW THAT AGUINALDO has taken the oath of allegiance to the United States, we, hope he will use his influence to induce Don W. J. Bryan and the other anti-imperialist leaders to do likewise. eee COLONEL JOHN MOSBY, the famous Virginian “ guerrilla of our Secession War, now reckons that in that unpleasantness he “ was in the right, but cn the wrong side."" That is about the case with Colonel Aguinaldo of the Philippines. THE OFFICIAL sanitary reports from Havana show that the déath-rate there during the past year was the lowest on record, and that the Cuban metropolis is now entitled to a place on the list of the world’s health-resorts. If Governor-General Wood keeps up this sort of thing we shall have to begin sending our superfluous octogenarians down there to supply the cemeteries. eee ADAME FERROUH, the wife of Ali Ferrouh Bey, the Turkish Min- ister at Washington, has succumbed to the attractions of the broad ‘and asphalt ways of our national capital and become an enthusiastic wheel- woman. While, like a true daughter of Islam, she can and does obey her liege lord in all things, yet she has absorbed enough Americanism to have a lot to say about what the Bey shall command.

OAH RABY, the New Jersey Methuselah, who took up his residence on the Piscataway Township Poor Farm half a century ago, being then an octogenarian, celebrated his hundred and twenty-ninth birthday on April rst. At each recurrence of this ‘anniversary, for several genera- tions past, people have been in the habit of taking a “last look” at Noah, believing him not much longer for this world; but the old man fools them all. Noah was strictly temperate as a youth; but when he became a sturdy, full-grown lad of ninety his parents permitted him to drink whis- key and attend croquet-parties, and later they bought him a bicycle. He is opposed to trusts, and has never ridden in an automobile. Newspapers do not appeal to Noah Raby a little bit, nor does the current literature of the day meet with his approval—because he cannot read nor write. He is a Democrat. STAGE MISFITS. HY IS the American dramatic stage so cluttered up with irrelevant English and French plays, and scissors versions of novels that are not plays at all? JUDGE asked this question more out of curiosity than admiration, and from a Bleached Rodent got reply, even thus: “Our theatrical managers, forsooth, be notoriously averse to experimenting with unknown authors and untried material, but will go to any amount of trouble and expense to get hold of something, no matter what, that has been gratuitously adver- tised into public notice, no matter how. As the supply of machine-made Paris and London plays runs low and poor, be- sides being costly now that international copy- right relations have been established, the popular novels of the day offer an available quarry. Their characters are already in the minds, if not the hearts, of their country- men, so the ‘dramatiza- tion ‘does not have to be consistent in itself, but may be pitchforked to- gether anyhow.” Hence these tiers of empty seats, or dissat- isfied play-goers. COLONEL WATTERSON’S CARTOON. LONEL HENRY WA1 responded with aptness and grace to the Jupce’s invitation, suggesting that he should furnish a cartoon idea for this paper. The result, appears on our middle double-page of this issue, where Victor Gillam has given pictorial form to the specified conception of the distinguished Ken- tuckian, and with admirable effect. It is indirectly a reply to the Hon. William Jennings Bryan's “ anti-imperialistic” cartoon, which JUDGE. pub- lished a few weeks ago. As readers of the Louisville Courier-Journal are aware, Wattersonian Democracy differs from that of the Bryan brand in and particularly on the subject of Imperialism. ‘The infant Jonathan of 1801 has grown to the strenuous manhood of Uncle Sam in tot, and don’t let us nor any cther nation forget that fact. And now JUDGE takes pride and pleasure in announcing that the Hon, Albert J. Beveridge, Indiana’s gifted young Senator, has promised to lend a hand in this pictorial polemic. He will answer Mr. Bryan with a Republican cartoon broadside. Well, well! now that statesmen and intellectual potentates are thus taking up the pencil—and we note also that Rudyard Kipling has drawn a satirical sketch of General Lord Kitch- ener’s operations in South Africa—it begins to look as if Jupce, as the result of its own original proposition, would shortly find itself the nucleus of a World's Consolidated Cartoon Trust.
