T I e There is no use talking, these corres pondent school lawyers are certainly up to snuff, L e S L PR P R What a blessing it is to have a stranger butt in and reform us every once in a while! ‘ 8 o & L If he blows himself up a few more times we shall be in favor of calling him capt Cowleski. et oo U e Nevertheless, we submit that it’s real mean in the other side to make one clown do all of their funny stunts. ‘ i s A Kansas City man was fined silo re cently for biting a lady, And yet some one is always getting bit in Kan-as. S e G A scientist in Philadelphia is trying to discover a harmloss narcotic. But what use has a Philadelphia man for a narcotic? vl R e Certainly, we will admit that we don’t know much about the constitution ot Ar kansas, but we are just naturally *agin the goverment, ’ A i i The paper trust informs us that the price has been advanced by reason of the greatly increased demand. We dont see how we are to get around that. e R ¢ 4B G B A o Wi It is said that 10,000 men in New York pay alimony regularly. Divorce is a lux ury that the rich wili have. i A Milwaukee polieceman had part of his uniform stolen while he was in church whither he is supposed to have gone in order that he might enjoy a siesta un molested. ——le- o P G~ The race feeling is rising high in Kan sas City Kan., over the recent killing of a white high school boy by a negro. The negro will also rise high if that Kansas mob gets hold of him, e N G S Soon we shall see an end of blue uni forms in the United States army drab be ing the color substituted. Poets who have been wont to make patriotic rhymes on ‘‘blue’” and ‘‘true’” will find “drab” and ‘‘grab’ a bit rude and imperialistic, ———— .

We must be up to date in all lines of industry. Let this be our motto:—Leesburg first, last and all the time. R AR R e o News dispatches state that Mr, Roose w¢lt and his protege, Booker Washington, were closeted together at a late hour re censly discussing the question of linch ngs in the south. Mr. Roosevelt could have called into conference many south ern white men who are as much opposed to lynching as he is, and who without doubt have given him more reliable in fornxafion than the Alabama negro. But, then, shat isn’t Teddy'’s style, _ The Unitad Ctates senate having a sec ond time adjourned without confirming Teddy's nominajion of Crum the said Teddy has given Crum another recess appointment. Verily our president doth love the Charleston negro.

The Japanese have landed on the Man churian side of the Yulu river, and won the first land battle of consequence. We may ncw expect war news, for there is likely to be something doing all the time. —— OMO e There are newspapers claiming to be Democratic that are saying more mean things about Bryan, Hearst and Tamma ny than they tan find occasion for saying about Roosevelt and the Republican party and whose constant efforts appear to be aimed at driving these two loyal Democrats and this poworful political organization awa+ from the Democratic party. And yet the help of these party factors will all be needed to elect a Dem ocratic president this year, and no sane mzn believes that the Democratic party can win with them arrayed againstit, i In this issue you will note the an ‘nouncement of Mr. D, A, Ragn for Rep resentative.
