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. * * * Dewey at dawn proved to be a killing frost for the Spaniard at Manila. * * ♦ 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 tria claimed a share of Poland when bolder robbers had her savior by the throat. * * a The people have long since learned that every 2X4 politi cian who hops and crows for “reform” is not above suspicion. 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.
