E. Patton. Luont, TENN., MARCH 22, 1006 Beware of Jim-jams, Jo.! E READ in the paper what a hot time there was when Jo. Medill n, the recent convert to social- tely made his first appearance in ago before a socialist audience. He got a grand welcome. ‘Handkerchiefs were flung, men leaped in chairs and women screamed with hysterical vigor. It was nearly five minutes before the young orator could make himself heard.” Of what he said the only passage that has penetrated these wilds of conserva- tism w that Andrew Camegie is a drone, living off other men’s labor, and that whenever the socialists conclude to cut him off with a dime Jo. will be with them, That might happen—the Chicago socialists might conclude to cut Andy off and Jo. might be with them, without any very serious impairment of Uncle Andy’s income, or yet of his peace of mind. That, however, will take care of itself. What more worthy of comment is the picture offered of the immediate reward gathered by a likely young man of advan- tageous position, who takes up with doc- trines held with enthusiasm by vociferous. persons. To be cheered and shouted over for five-minute spells by a large audience of one’s fellow-creatures is to experience a particularly penetrating form of intoxication. We wonder a good deal what is the effect of such indulgence ‘on the gray matter of the brain, and how much of it a young nd with- out permanent impairment of his facul- ties, and how difficult and how painful is likely to be the process of getting back into a working relation with the sober realities of life. Jo. is an engaging young creature. We trust that his propensity for the kind of intoxication in which he is just now indulging will not last so long as to be- come a fixed habit. There great deal of reform jim-jams about just now, and some very decent fellows show symp- toms of being on the verge of it. Recov- eries are usually made in time, but the nerves are never quite so good after- wards.
