HILE it disseminates humor and satire for the multitude, punctur- ing the bubbles of social eccentricity and dealing correctively with human foibles, Jupce has serious con- victions as to various other matters and a well-founded political belief. Jupce wishes to avoid narrow partisanship, but it be- lieves in the policy of protection to American industries, which has been one of the potent factors of government that have made this nation great. It believes in this not because it is Republican, but because it is American! Jupce’s function as a promoter of good cheer, with an occasional sting for things that are the better for being stung, makes legitimate in its columns amusing references to the candidates of all political parties where such hits are pertinent. But JupGe can take no un- certain stand as to the industrial welfare of the country, and its belief in American protection leads it to deplore all policies which menace the present tariff. In pursuance of this conviction, dur- ing the period which remains before election, Jupce will publish amusing but telling arguments in pictorial form in line with its belief. The first of this series of pictures, under the significant title of ‘‘Dreamland,'’ appears on an- other page. A great many persons have been the- orizing and dreaming on this vital sub- ject.

The vacation sea- son is closing, and new thousands every day resume their labors in the cities with fresh vigor, because of a period of rest that meant recreation in the coun- try, by the sea or in the mountains. They show the true autumn “‘ginger.”’ There are many persons who do not take vacations and many others who do not work; but these do not count in the active world. Vacation is a good thing. It restores energy and impulses to new uses of en- ergy. It brightens the mental faculty, gives the muscular system new vigor, and solaces the nerves. In this era of tremendous activity—there is a zealous competition in every walk of life—the nerves often mean more in the race for success than mere muscle or a trained habit of mind. It is an age of friction in all departments of human effort, and friction ‘‘gets on the nerves.’’ Thus those who refresh themselves resume their work not only with renewed ambi- tion, but with the ability to realize upon aspiration. It Was Empty. Professor Petrie, who has made a con- siderable reputation by his excavations in Egypt searching for antiques, has found at Tarkham an article which he calls a New Year's bottle, an inscription thereon showing that it was a custom in times back of recorded history to make gifts of such bottles to heads of house- holds at New Year's. There may be lamentations when it is stated that the bottle found by the professor was empty. Brief Decisions.

The report that Russian anarchists had changed their tactics and were plot- ting to kidnap the Czar instead of kill- ing him the first chance they have was almost taking aa enough to be true, but it hap- pens not to be true. Assassi- nation as part of the Russian game of poli- tics has become so common and has been resorted to so frequently that it does not create sensations any longer. The Russian has become used to it. The abduction of the Czar and hie con- cealment in some secret place, while the anarchists were negotiating for conces- sions from the Russian government or from the Czar, who is an autocrat, would be a novelty in world politics and create interest in all parts of the earth. Everywhere there would be interest in learning how the Russian government would deal with such an action. Fol- lowing the examples of numerous other royal persons, the Czar, after he got out of the scrape, might write a book, giving the details of his life while in captivity, and, although he is said to have a personal fortune so large that there are only half a dozen men in Europe as rich as he, the income from this publication would not be any incon- siderable sum. There are publishers that would bid high for it. During the Civil War a plot was hatched to abduct President Lincoln and carry him to Richmond. It did not get beyond the conversational stage. In modern times there have been no abduc- tions of crowned heads, and, therefore, there is no precedent to guide any gov: ernment in dealing with an incident of that nature. comicbooks.com
