If I remember correctly it was
Anna M. Pratt who gave to the'
world this gem :
I’rrsevernance I Can you »p 11 It?
And its meaning, can you tell it?
If you slick to what you're doing,
Study, work or p'ay pursuit!)!,
Every failure bravely meeting,
Brave y each attempt reptatu g.
Trying twice and thrice ami four tlmei,
You can spell it! You can spell it!
▲ nd its uiraning, you can tell it!

More than half the members
of Delaware’s regiment have re
turned to their homes, partly
because they were not given
sufficient food. It is hard to be
patriotic on an empty ssomach.
The government owes it to itself
to see that the men who are up
holding its cause in the Jand
and naval service are given
enough of wholesome fare to
keep them in good fighting con
dition.

Spain and Austria are the
Jonahs among nations—when
did noth or either win a battle?
Spain tried to destroy England,
and tlv n England saved Spain
from Napoleon. Poland saved
Vienna from the Turk, and Aus

when bolder robbers had her
savior by the throat.

The people have long since

What is the “Young Men’s
Democratic Club?’’
***
* We are told that the club held
a “stormy session” last night—
and that the fight came in the
fight for endorsement for candi
dates for political offices.
a «
I am told that this club is
composed of most estimable
young men, but that it is ex
clusive in its nature, having a
barrel of black balls that may
be used with deadening effect
on any candidate whose appli
cation has been approved and
whose name comes before the
club for final action.

♦
Shades of Jefferson and Jack
son! Fancy a white man and a
Democrat being black-balled
and excluded from any genuine,
real Democratic organization I

Democracy, indeed ! Gentle
men, you have a right to a social
club—you have a right to a po
litical club—you have aright to
an exclusi”e club and the free
use of the black ball in electing
your members, but every prin
cipal of Democracy cries out
against you using the name
“Democrat” m any secret po
litical organization. Stormy
times, indeed ! It’s high time
you were “enjoying” very stor
my times.
If you are Democrats and
have political aspirations or
pteferences, as all good Demo
crats should have, why come
out in the sunlight and make
your fight or advocate your fa
vorites as Democrats always do.
♦
Away with “Star Chamber’’
meetings, “Knownothing” or
ders and “Secret Political Clubs!’’
Yet if vou must have them,
don’t, in the name of Democr—
cy and Democratic principles I
beg you, cloak your dark lan
tern deliberations under the
banner of Democracy.
