THE POLITICAL POT By F. J. Kupfer. Tho actora arc now beginning to rehearse their parts on the political stage. They are prompt ed by their managers and coached to play the part to which he or she is assigned to meet the annrobation of the populace. Ambition in the human breast iaone of the frailities of nature. To bo admired and praised for deeds to better the fellow man lurks in the minds of every one who prides himself of his own importance to lead and show the way for weal or woo. And such being tho case in this free and grand republic the constitution provides that we arc all equal and to tho manner born; that we have the right of free speech, free proas anu free thoughts. These guarantees tiuugn are used only at the discretion of thoso who are or may be in the possession of an official capacity which tho public grants them nt stated poriods Wo speak of constitutional rights, and then wo are conBtnntly being romin dud by the politicians that wo must fight for freo speech and a free press. Wc have not fathomed this particular doctrine vfhy tiiis is necessary when tho declaration of independence tolls us that wo arc a free and inde pendent people. Hut then as I have started this article with the forthcoming national play to no enacted ly a now and un tried set of actors in which they will stagn that culobratod American play entitled " Re form, Efficiency, Economy and tho Duties of an American Citizon," wo will expuctto huar from each and ovory actor a complete mid versatile erudition of his policies, bin views, his methods, and ho possibly may forgot himself to depict uncon sciously tho intricacies of what is required in the makeup of a roul and genuine exponent of the principles of American citizen ship. ; Tho public, in the near future, should prepare itself to sou the political show in all its pristine glory. In a verv fow weeks the Drama will have it quota and each participant will havo thoroughly mastered his plea for man's and woman's suf frago. Of course wo all want to be there and thotimuscL and nil- 3 i i 4! ) L Architectural And Mechanical Drafting Rates by Hour or Contract 923 South Decatur Phone Columbia 108 vertised is May tho 21st of this coming year. The star performers in this great American drama are quite a few in numbers. In fact we are told that 5 presidental cand idates will be listed on the pro gramme, bach and every one are prize winners in their re spective occupations which they are in at the present time. Those who aro next in rank and will not have, according to tho Otiiia board prophcies antagon istic or friendly opposition. c??99 This m rather unfortunate and should not be encouraged, as the is a product of the state and of public expects to get all it can this city.
