POLITICAL SPOONING. 'HERE has been consider- able political spooning at Washington lately —espe- cially on the part of the insur- gents. If the insurgents think they are going to make Miss Republican jealous be- cause they have been holding hands with Miss Democracy, they are very much mistaken. On the other hand, Miss Democracy wants to know whether the attentions of the insurgents are serious. To quote the words of Sena- tor Rayner: What do our friends mean? Are they in earnest or are they simply flirting and coquetting with us? Is it merely a temporary engagement, or is it a permanent love feast? Is the senior Senator from Indiana (Beveridge), for instance, embracing us simply for the ecstasy and transport of the moment, or is he willing to unite with us in the bonds of holy political wedlock? Whenever we have voted with him I have noticed that he cast a radiant smile that is full of meaning in our direction; but is this merely the symptom of a momentary pas- sion or is it the token of permanent affec- tion? I do not know how the rest of my colleagues feel, but I am becoming weary of being fondled and caressed, only to be rejected and deserted when the supreme moment arrives. Miss Democracy is perfectly right in wanting to know what the insurgents mean by their attentions. The insurgents should not forget that it is a very serious matter to trifle with the affections of a woman. The time may come when the butler for Miss G. O. P. will say to the insurgents— even though bringing gifts— Not at home."* It is time for the insur- gents to stop spooning and declare their inten- tions as to their choice of parties. INSTEAD OF SWINGING A BIG CIRCLE IT WOULD BE BETTER TO SWING THE BIG STICK. JUDGE SPOON NUMBER PUBLISHED BY LESLIE-JUDGE COMPANY 225 Firtm Ave nut, New Your THERE is something wrong with Mr. Hearst if he thinks an editor can raise a hundred thousand dollars. Insurgents are mostly erring gents. A FUNNY SIGHT TO BRYAN, THE REPUBLICAN PARTY USED AS A STEPLADDER BY INSURGENTS TO DESTROY ITS PLATFORM. — “PRI PARTY PURITY IN NEW YORK. DIRECT primaries are re- ported to have been killed in New York by the Political bosses. Accord- ing to their statements Hughes is dead politically. They forget, however, that the demand for direct primaries comes not from Governor Hughes alone, but from the people. Consequently the de- mand will not vanish with his retirement to the Supreme Bench. The reforms of Governor Hughes are like Truth, which though crushed to earth shall rise again. SPOONING NOT IN THE CURRICULUM, = iW ONE may judge by the | contents of the under- | graduates’ publications, the average student gives a good deal of time to‘ the fair co-ed,"’ or to the “*non-co-ed'’ if the insti- tution excludes women. The college widow does not have her name in the uni- versity year-book, but she usually has had ‘as many men at her feet as any of the professors. However, times are chang- ing. Students—especially in co-educa- tional institutions—must confine them- selves to the courses given in the curriculum. Cupid must give his lesson after college days are over. To quote the reported words of President Osborn, of Des Moines College: I do not intend that DesMoines College shall be conducted as a mat trimonial bureau. You come here for other things than to spoon. . Your first duty is to study, and when you spend your time spoon- ing you waste your time and the time of others. Young men students must obtain the permis- sion of the faculty be- fore keeping company with young women. The practice of spoon- ing has gone too far and must be stopped.
