SC WARTS on the face of justice” Is pretty good; coming as it does from a supreme-court justice. at ‘ RYAN is after Sullivan, Sullivan is after Bailey, Bailey is after Brya sort of ring-around-the-rosy affair. PENNSYLVANIA SHOULD STAND BY ROOSEVELT. RESIDENT ROOSEVELT two years ago, by an unprecedented popu- lar vote, was intrusted with a certain great work, That work is only fairly begun and the President’s term but half finished, . How disloyal it would be now, in the midst of his half-completed task, if the people, while professing unabated confidence, should turn from him and divest him of power for the balance of his term. Our Repub- lican congressmen and senators may not be all they might be, but surely President Roosevelt is in a better position than any- body else to judge of their value to his ad ministration. And the President has al- ready given his word to the country that he is satisfied to go on with congress as at present constituted to complete the work which he and it have so auspiciously be gun. Every Republican should find here a warning. Pennsylvania, for instance, is just now the storm centre of a factional struggle in the Republican party. More depends on Pennsylvania staying loyally in the Republican ranks than on any other state contest. If the Pennsylvania contest was a mere rivalry between Republicans the case would not beso serious, But when the Emery faction is working with might and main to deliver the Republican party to the Democracy, it behooves the Republican brethren to consider what the success of their efforts would mean. There can be no possible doubt that a fusion victory in Pennsylvania this fall would not only make the President’s task more difficult for the balance of his administration, but would give more comfort and hope to the Bryan Democracy in 1908 than any other political event that could happen. FOND DU LAG, Wisconsin, to the fore. Saloons there must hang up pictures of every town drunkard on their walls. NON-UNION beer at a labor convention nearly broke up the meeting. Why didn’t those men take hold and unionize that beer? R. BRYAN’S fifty-one-percent. rule on. monopolies is good. By the way, why doesn’t he enforce it on the talk-talk monopolists ?

FOR PRESIDENT—A $500 GRAMOPHONE. 'HE LONDON Tattler thinks the Democrats of the United States should nominate a combined gramophone and megaphone for the presidency. British advice generally rubs Uncle Sam the wrong way, but a little reflection must convince Americans of the reasonableness of this suggestion. The Londoner has noted the increasing ascendency of the orator in our politics. The man who can make fourteen addresses each day to audiences of from one to fifty thousand seems to have a cinch on all the best things the people have to offer. It must follow that if by some device a speaking apparatus could be made to reach not fourteen but one thousand audiences a day, election to high office would be advanced from a probability to a certainty. « There is no reason why, for example, Bryan could not gramophonically or megaphonically multi- ply himself indefinitely. Eventually we could learn to forget the human original and love the sheer Voice, the beautiful vocabulary, the repetitious uluiation now so dominant in popular politics. By alf means. let.us rig up a gramo- phone and nominate. it and send it out in time to hit up the county fairs this fall. AG eee N? NOVEL-TIES wanted in New Hampshire politics, is the way the Verdict reads, as near as we can make it out. eee WHEN Brother Weaver calls his reform party worse than the old gang, we should say reform is rather “on the hog.” THEY are still reading Mr. Bailey out of the senate. A senator should know better than to make money these days. MR:-TAFT is applauded for his constructive statesmanship. All right, but when Mr. Taft goes after a revolution his statesmanship strikes us as rather destructive as well. THE PEOPLE INSIST ON PAINTED CATSUP. HE pure-food hearings have developed some interesting facts. For in- stance, the American people want their catsup red and their pickles green. To meet this demand, the manu- facturers paint these things to please the eye of the consumer. This was all very well in days of yore, but in these muck- rack times, painted catsup has been like a red rag to a bull. It is well known that the favorite tomato sauce in its natural state is a dirty, greenish yellow. But aniline dyes or no analine dyes, the people have registered a verdict: Our catsup and pickles must be pretty as well as good. We take it that here is a lesson for these degenerate times. Food is not only for the stomach but for the eye. The ugly, blue-mass pill of our fathers had to give 3 way to the sugar-coated confection which now reigns in every medicine chest. If we could get at the roots of the matter we should probably find that the recent jungle furor was more a revolt of the eye against the shocking spectacle of the shambles than a protest on the score of cleanliness, comicbooks.com
