A THREE-WORD SPEECH.
FARMER'S DAY.
CREAM FOR RAILROADS.
WALL STREETS TRINITY.
' John W. Davia mean to bold tho
short speech record, a wis, almost
pious resolution. H will "accept
his nomination in only four thou
sand words df talk.
Great moderation and aalf-con-trol,
you say. Yet In thirty-one
verses of the first and two Tersea
of the second chapters of Genesis
the Bible describes the creation of
earth and everything on it And
the whole thing, including the rest
on the seventh day, is told in about
ONE thousand words.
For brevity and beauty, candi
dates, editors, and especially ad
vertisement writers should study
the Bible, especially Genesis, Job,
Isaiah, and the Sermon on the
Mount. Any Presidential candidate
might make an acceptance speech
pleasing to 89 in 100 in three words,
as follows: "MEN ABOVE DOL
LARS." Salesmen are pouring into the
Northwest farming districts to sell
goods that stores will soon be sell
ing,, thanks to high prices for
wheat.
Stocks are going up. especially
railroad stocks. That has impor
tance for everybody. It means that
intelligent observers see good
times ahead.
Railroads seem to be the "lambs"
of our Government, and it remem
bers the injunction "Feed my
lambs."
Recently, when the farmer was
practically bankrupt, dozens of
banks in the Northwest doling
their doors, etc., it was suggested
that railroads might reduce freight
rates, at least on farm products.
Bat with whsat getajr up. tha
Interstate Ootnmerc Oommwioa
aays the Tana of farm 0091 &
increase a thousand million dollars
this year. Therefore, NO reduc
tion in freight rates.
The cream, off the top, must go
to the railroad.
Suppose tue farmers, for a
change, are getting a decent price
for tceir crops. The question in
vnlvsH Ara the ilroads c ha rar
ing too much? nSt what is this
farm making.
Great and fashionable Trinity
Protestant Episcjyal Church, stand
ing at the top of Wall Street, pub
lishes this report:
Last year's income, $2,148,681.
Present assets of that little band
of followers of the lowly Nazarene,
$18,828,068.
Yon note, "Carried to renewal
aaeount. 1186.762." .
The young man (see Matthew,
19th Chapter) that "went away
prrowfuT after being told, fcSll
that thou hast and give to the
poor," probably sits in Triintya
congregation, if there is anything
to the reincarnation ineory.
of the Episcopalian clergy, miser
ably underpaid, struggle to make
and meet.
. The world hears with amass
ment of two French filers setting a
new "duration mark," staying up
87 hours 59 minutes 10 seconds.
Put this clipping away for your
great-grandchildren. They will sea
a round a world machine, coming
down perhaps once a year for com
plete overhauling, landing passen
gers from smaller machines above
Paris, London. Yokohama, Bombay,
New York. ''All out." And the
trip all the way around will be
made in twenty-four hours only
1,000 miles an hour.
There NEVER comes a ttma
when a human being is of no use
to the world." I
The Greek philosopher, ninety
years old, that killed himself be
cause he stumbled on leaving ail
class, made a mistake. Be should
have said: "I may tumble, bat t
hall go on teaching."
Think of one Episcopalian chorea
keeping on hand thirteen millions
of undivided assets, while scores

The other day in New York a
young woman lay in a hospital
with both her legs amputated. That
was the price she paid for giving
birth to a child. 8HE might have
said, "The world has nothing more
for me." What she did say, was,
"I am delighted to lose both my
lags, if I must, as long as I have
mybaby."

It seams to me the time has
come for "viewin with alarm"
when wa spend more on elec
tions than it takes to buy a
farm. They've banished old
John Barleycorn, an' driv the
dope away, but the campaign
contribution crook is on the job
to stay.
It ain't no use to grumble at
the way elections goes, when we
practise rank dishonesty and
praise it, mercy knows! These
campaign contributions sorter
makes a voter feel that we'd
pass a law to stop 'em, if we
didn't love to steal!
I reckon ideas differ on the
prevalence of crime, but I'll
say she's epidemic jest about
election time. ... Of course, the
Press exposes an' the smellin'
squad probes in, but it's mighty
nigh impossible fer honest men
to winl
The campaign contribution is
the power behind the throne, but
the feller it is spent on is the
man to let alone: if political
promoters couid be landed in
the pen, we might elect a ticket
thats composed of worthy men!
