BRIEF DECISIONS Maybe before long the wind will again be whistling through the whisk- ers on male faces. King Alfonso of Spain, it is declared, is raising a pair of sideboards, and his example is being followed in Madrid, Paris, and London. Alfonso is in his way a nice little fel- low, but being a King, and especially King of Spain, ‘his head probably lies uneasy in a barber chair as well as else- where. Still, he is about the last per- son one would expect to see imitating the discarded populist fashion. a There are persons who will be sur- prised to learn that Dr. Cook is still lecturing, but, in the language of the theater, he is ‘playing small time.’" In Hopkinsville, Ky., as he was describing a fight with a polar bear to an audience, a swarm of bees invaded the hall and got traditionally busy, to the anguish of the doctor’s auditors. And yet they are not the only persons who have been stung. a Arizona has been declared a State by presidential proclamation. ‘That's no new thing for Arizona. It is the only member of the Union that has been twice declared to be a State by proc- lamation. On February 14th, 1862, Jefferson Davis issued a declaration that Arizona was admitted into the Southern Confederacy. In similar man- ner New Mexico and the Indian Terri- tory (now Oklahoma) were taken in— on paper. Neither of these areas went in so that you could notice it. On the fiftieth anniversary of the issue of the Jefferson Davis proclamation, President Taft declared to the world that Arizona was a member of the American Union —one and indivisible. a Life in Washington must these days be one constant round of pleasure to those with whom politics is the very breath of life. Besides Congress, with its debates, there are now in full blast at the nation’s capital Taft, Roosevelt, La Follette, Clark, Harmon and Wilson headquarters, where much handshaking is done and many tons of literature are daily sent out. One good effect of main- taining these headquarters is that the wages of the employes help them meet the high cost of living. But, otherwise, of what avail are they? The handshak- ing will get no delegates to either con- vention. Nor is it likely that the tons of documents sent out by mail will help to any extent. The fate of candidates will be decided by the news and com- ments of the reputable press. a Not long ago Senator La Follette— the man with the topknot—exploited his progressiveism in these words: ‘‘All the big business of the country is on stilts. We have got to bring it down; but to take all the water out of it at once would do much harm.”’ Business, big and little, is the life of the people who work for wages. The wandering La Follette would throttle business, which would mean suffering throughout the land; and he would not throttle it at one REMIN 583 1,011 117 Typewriter.

Writing GTON the Remington Torii setes during past seer fell act, but would protract the agony, and thus prolong the suffering. It is disrespectfully suggested to the pompa- dour Senator that he and not big busi- ness is on stilts, and that if he were taken down, and taken down all at once, it would be better for the country. a The Baconians now claim that Bacon revised and edited the King James ver- sion of the Bible, after the distinguished theologians and scholars credited with the translation got through. With | characteristic modesty, these persons do not go quite far enough. No doubt Bacon originally wrote the Psalms of David and the Epistles. a What do you know about Evans’? Have you tried it? Get Wise! William J.
