What you’re looking at

This page mocks the inflated self-importance of political convention delegates. "The Song of the Delegate" (poem by Minna Irvine) sarcastically claims that delegates—regardless of personal merit, wealth, or background—wield enormous power simply by virtue of their position. They "nominate" leaders and "make the wheels of fate go 'round," yet the poem's tone suggests this authority is absurdly disproportionate to their actual qualifications. The satire targets early 20th-century American political conventions, where delegates held genuine power in selecting presidential candidates. The poem compares ordinary delegates to historical giants (Columbus, Lincoln, Washington, Dewey), highlighting the gap between delegates' self-perception and reality. The "eagle's feather" and parade imagery mock their ceremonial pomp. The remainder of the page contains period advertisements and lighter humor pieces unrelated to the political satire.

The Song of the Delegate. . MATTERS not my name or age, The fashion of my clothes, The way I have my whiskers trimmed, The color of my hose, The balance due me at the bank, My native town or State, The nation waits upon my word— Iam a delegate. Columbus had a seat in front When Glory called the roll, And Dewey sank the Spanish ships, And Peary found the Pole, And Lincoln was a famous man, And Washington was great, But I am greater yet, behold! lam a delegate. The eagle’s feather in my hat, I proudly take my stand. Iam the show, the street parade, The elephant and band. I nominate man renowned Who will administrate; I make the wheels of fate go 'round— lam a delegate. —Minna Irvine. Time's Changes. “T reckon you see the old town lookin’ some diff’rent from what it looked when you left it thutty years ago,’’ said Uncle Eb Skinner to the native returning fora visit to the scenes of his boyhood. ‘*All o’ the back part 0’ Peevy's store is new since your day here, an’ that bay winder in the drug store was put in since you left us. The deepo used to be painted yeller instid 0’ red, an’ the town hall is het by steam now instid 0’ with stoves, like it used to was in your time. Them two iron hitch posts in front 0’ the post- office ain’t been there more than ten years, an’ that stone watering trough instid 0’ the old wooden one you remem- ber is another change. I reckon you’ve noticed that Hi Greene has raised his house a story an’ added a summer kitchen, That piazzy in front o’ the hotel is another change in the old town, an’, of course, you've noticed the new hoss sheds back o’ the church, an’ the broom shop wa'n’t here when you was a boy with us. It employs five hands reg’- lar an’ seven in the rush season. Time makes changes, as I reckon you have seen."" Good. Friend—‘'Then you had a satisfactory Season?"’ Theatrical manager—''Very! Two of our most antagonistic critics died. "’ Wants the Air. If you wed an aeroplane girl, Her weight in gold she’s worth. With little she’ll be satisfied— She doesn’t want the earth. 21 MW.

THE EXPERIENCED LAUNDRESS GIVES | ADVIGE*THOSE WITH LAUNDRY TROUBLES ASHING and ironing should not be anything like the task that they are made in many households. In fact, intelligently done there is little worry and the results are a delight tothe housewife. A great deal depends on the selection of the right materials.
