A Quiet Campaign.
The political campaign of 1904 prom
ises to be a record breaker tor its peace
and quiet. The press everywhere report
a lack of efith usiam in politics, and it is
als > true in this county. Even the most
prominent politicians in the county fail
to inspire the people with enthnsiam
while second and third rates are hardly
recognized at all. It is expected that
politics will be enlivened a little toward
the close of the campaign, yet no old
fashioned political tallies arc looked tor
this yeaß. '
This apathy is attributed to the lack
of a real live issue between the two great
partiee. The free silver issue which
made the last two campaigns famous lias
been abandored and the two side issues,
the tariff and imperialism, are too stale
to enthuse the people. The tariff is a
necessity and can lie called an issue, and
if educating and civilizing the Phili
pinoe is imperialism that is necessary,
too, in onr scheme of government, for it
is admitted that the Philippines are not
fitted for self government and, there
fore. cannot be abandoned by Uncle Sam.

who wants to sleep.
The latest fad In methods of walking
is called the gracile glide.. You fade up
the street lu a way that makes the foi>l
klller fairly perspire.
An enterprising Kansan now comes
to the front with a machine to com
press grasshoppers into bricks to be
sold for poultry food. Next.
The children are now abducting one
another aud demanding ransom. Our
country has its future Pat Crowes as
well as Us future Presidents.
