JOLTS AND JINGLES
By Ad Brown
Words.
Tho ship was badly scuttled
And tho crows wore sorely pressed.
But 'mong tho passengers one man
Was not at all distressed.
Ho sprang up to tho turret deck
Where everyone could see,
Then from his pocket took a speech
And thus ho read, read he:
"On ail this boat there Is but ono
Can savo you from tho sea,
And, gentlemen, I tell you now
That single ono Is me."
And quick tho volume of his words,
As fast as he could speak.
Assembled In a weighty mass
And plunged the blooming leak.
e
Ah, men there are who lead tho rest
In almost every walk,
But ono alono stands out supremo
In mighty feats of talk.
Ad Brown.
The Lake of the Dismal Swamp
(By Thomas Moore.)
"The made her n Rrave, too cold nnd
dump
For a soul so warm and true;
And she's gone to the Lake of the
Dismal Swamp,
Where all night loiitf, by a firefly
lamp,
She paddles her white canoe."
P
"And her firefly lamp I soon shall
see,
And her paddle I soon shall hoar;
Long nnd loving our life shall bo.
And I'll hide the maid in n cypress
tree,
When the footstep of Death is
near."
'Away to the Dismal Swamp he
speeds
His path wns rugged and sore,
Through tangled juniper, beds of
reeds,
Through many n fen when ilie fcr
pent feeds,
And man never trod before.
And when on the earth he sunk to
sleep,
If slumber his eyelids knew.
Ho lay, where the deadly vine doth
weep
Its venomous tear, and nightly fcteep
The flesh with blistering dew.
And near him tho she-wolf stirred
tho brake,
And tho coppur-snuke breathed i.i
his ear,
Till, he startled, cried, from tho
dream awake,
"OJ when shall I see the dusky lake,
And tho white ennoo of my dear?"
Ho Paw tho lake, and a meteor bright
Quick over its surfuco played
"Welcome," ho said, "my dear one's
light!"
And tho dim shore echoed for mnny
a night,
Tho nuinu of tho death-cold maid.
Till ho hollowed n boat of the birchen
bark,
Which carried him off from shoro;
Par. far ho followed tho moteor
spnrk,
Tho wind was high and tho clouds
wero dark,
And the boat returned no inoro.
But oft, from tho Indian hunter's
camp,
This lover and maid so true
Arc seen, nl tho hour of tho midnight
damp,
To cross tho hike by n firefly lamp,
And prtddlo their own ennoo.
LOSING AN
THOMAS Nasi know what ho was about whon ho first
caricatured tho Demooratio party as u ilonkoy. In tho
face of tho greatest opportunity it has over had. the party
continues to blunder in stupid, assinine fashion, and tho
emblem continues most appropriate.
Any progressive democrat could defeat President Taft
this year, yet the same forces that forced the nomination of
Taft over the protest of the rank and file of the republican
party, are endeavoring to force the nomination of a re
actionary democrat and so toss away the groat chance.
The' preliminary move is the effort to make Judge
Parker chairman of the convention and thus give the re
actionaries control of the organization. No ono could have
been named more distasteful to the rank and file of the
party in the west.
Bryan's bugle call to rally the progressives against the
selection of Parker has met with slim response from the
democratic candidates. As the time servers and pie-counter
politicians deserted the progressive cause in the Chi
cago convention, so are thev rallving about the Tanunanv
chiefs of reactionary politics at Baltimore.
"Whether supported or not, however, Bryan will keep
the faith and make the fight, single-handed if nooossarv.
Defeat has no terrors for him and he does not compromise
therefore he is a poor politician. Put ho has the confi
dence and esteems of the rank and. file of the democratic
party, as Roosevelt has of the republican party.
All that is necessary to insure the success of the third
party movement is the nomination of a conservative or a
reactionary at Baltimore.
PASSING OF THE CONVENTION SYSTEM
THE Chicago convention has witnessed the sacrifice of
Poosevelt for the petty personal ambitions of his fol
lowers. When the psychological moment for a bolt arose, when
it had been demonstrated that tho will of the voters of
the party was to be ruthlessly trampled undor foot by the
cjomiptlj manned "steam-roller." the Poosevelt leaders
threw him over and refused to follow him.
Governor ITadley of Missouri, thought he stood .1
chance of being nominee and would not walk out. Senator
Borah and others with senatorial elections facing them.
Governor Deneen and other governors considered their
own jobs, as did the host of postmasters needing reappoint
ment. Of all the leaders of the Poosevelt forces, only
Johnson of California and Plinu of Pennsylvania were
ready to follow their chief.
The republican convention is offering the people an
object lesson as to the part their wishes play in nomina
tions, and how little voice the people have hfthe selection
of a candidate.
Taft has been repudiated in every state where the
people were given a chance to express their decision, yet
Taft is to be forced upon them in spite of protest. The
people never have had any voice in the selection of candi
dates, but they arc just beginning to find it out.
This year's conventions probably mark the passing of
the convention system in the nation, as it passed in Oregon
and other states some .years ago.
Repudiation of the expressed wishes of the people
by the convention can have but one result the repudiation
of the convention hy the people.
Direct primary nominations will before long supplant
the part- conventions in the nation as direct election of
presidents will supplant the electoral college both advo
catcd by Andrew Jackson almost a century ago.

LISBON, June 22. One man was

Tammen, charged with criminal libel,
Is docketed to begin In court hero
Monday, and from present Indica
tions It will bo ono of tho most sen
sational trials of tho kind ever held

Declares Kissing National Crime
GUTHRIE, Okla., Juno 22. Kiss
ing Is tho most dangerous things in
tho world, a national crlmo, and laws
should bo passed making it such,
according to Dr. George W. Howling,
a dentist of Lindsay, Okla., who in
corporated tho first society In Okla
homa to fight tho habit of kissing.
"I bollevo when peoplo aro edu
cated," said Dr, Bowling, "thoy will
learn to eliminate a groat part of
tho present habit of kissing.
"If you havo noticed It there Is a
tendency among more educated peo
plo to teach their children never to
kiss on tho mouth, but on tho cheek,

LOOKS LIKE TAFT WILL
BE WINNER FROM FIRST
CHICAGO, Juno 22. It seemed a
foregone conclusion last night that
Taft would bo nominated on first bal
lot. Although Colonel Roosovolt In
dicated tonight his numo will not bo
presented to tho "tainted conven
tion," if his wishes aro followed It
Is generally believed tho delegates
Instructed for him would offer his
name, despite his expressed desiro.
Tho Roosevelt forces havo not aban
doned a general fight In tho conven
tion and a hard struggle over tho
Texas and Washington delegates Is
expected.
With theso contests In front of
thorn and with tho platform to bo
adopted and with tho probability of
Its' bolng assailed by tho La Folletto
as well as tho Roosevelt faction, tho
leaders look forwurd with Bomo trep
cdltlon to accomplishing tho task be
foro htom by Sunday morning. The
platform makors tonight determined

LABEL CONFIDENT OF VICTORY
IN MATCH WITH ANDERSON
Abo Label, tin- stocky little San
Frnuclxco llKlitwelght boxer, who IiIin
an Important cuicagom-nt to fulfill
with ono Hud Anderson next Monday
night, was about town yesterday,
fculltiK, ho claims, as frisky as u two-yonr-old
colt. Ablo sold that his
condition was good and when asked
what ho thought of the outcome of
his coining o with Anderson Abo re
plied that ho had not git on that par
ticular mutter any too much thought,
as ho figured It would bo time
enough to gfvo it his full attention
Monday night,
"Hut If you are asking mo what 1
think of my own chaueim with An
derson, I may as well ho frank about
it and coiuo out and toll you that 1
will win; also that I did not travel
r.UO miles to como up to havo Hud
Anderson tench mo anything about
a game of which 1 am supposed to
know a little about myself. They all
look alike to mo Anderson nnd all
tho rest of them only boiiio of them
aro a little tougher than tho rest and
won't give up bo (iiisy."
And there Is a lot of truth In whnt
Abo says about all boxers looking
alike to him for ho surely tins met a
lot of tliem, dating way back when
Eddlo Hanloii was In ills prime to
the lutes product of pugilistic speed
marvels,. Wllllo Rltehlo.
Abo Is clovor and ho himself knows
It. Ills face does not show or bear
any earmarks that ho has been
through ovei ono hundred ring con
tests. Ah a rule, a clovor ring man
somehow or other always manages
to como out of a contest unscathed,
nnd tills may havo been Lnliol'B
lucky trait.
Both Label and Anderson havo
trained hard and faithfully and will
work out this afternoon at tho Med

thoso who havo not alroady watched
