Blessed are they who have um brellas for they shall not drown. The Bible says as a logical deduc tion, "he who eats must work.’* V * It's as liable to rai • as the sparks are to go upward. Is that man Orchard a peach or persimmon? ‘‘Hide me O my Saviour hide From the noise and h* <\ I'-urn of - city pride. While we think, wh are they, going to give Caleb Powers a new trial'* What is more irritating than to have a news boy poke a paper in vour face when you are both -dead broke* and hungry? The latest is to marry, get a divo'cj and court the same party and re-raarry. Gr at Scott! what manner of man is man? As we said before, just because a girl is a graduate, she is not necessarily “a sweet girl gradu ate.” Bryan is not much of a states. I man. Did you know he says the the things he thinks the southern co^tigent approves. The soldiers will invade Camp Lincoln today. The 8th regi ment will mobilize July 6, this is two weeks earlier than usual. People who don’t study need not expect to make good percen tage at their graduation. Nay they need not expect to graduate. The moochers are lying low in the shade, waiting for their prey, though patiently. It is only one year off. boys—you can afford *.o starve that long, eh? Don’t borrow the Forum. One thing is certain, Griffith belongs to the party that does things—did you known that this city looks better already? Honor to whom honor is due. What are yon women do with your thin and white dresses for it is written that there will be rain and cool weather all sum mer. We ask the saloon people to keep women and boys out of their places. If we report you to the mayor you will call it a “knock.” But we will do so or die. Robert Goodwin’s duty is to see that the streets are kept in good condition, so the police will not get their shoes soiled and the autos will have easy sailing thru at 10 miles per hour. You should not expect the democrats, as a whole, to do as well as Republicans, though there are some‘ mighty” good democrats, but they are too scarce to be a potential factor. Dr. O A. Seago, chief of po. j lice, is the kind of man we like— ne is making the office a business ^ study and we look forward to the bt st police regulation we hare 1 ever before had. The analytical meaning of ‘‘truth crushed to earth shall rise again” is you cannot keep a man down who has noble, high . and righteous aims. All good comes from God and hence must be a part of God. How do you like this subject for debate—Resolved that a Rep resentative in Congress Should VOTE on all Subjects According to his own convictions and not ac cording to the wishes of his Con stituents,” The Eorum chooses the affirmative. You politicians who desire the '■ office again should remember , that ‘‘peace hath her victories ' no less renown than war/’ and vheuevar you can favor a de serving person, do so. Note ‘de serving,’ the fault lies in the most undeserving and unmeri. torious too often carry off the spoic. Like Banquo’s ghost, the right shall not be downed. The men will have no serious objection to women ‘proposing,” as the leading New York ladies claim they hare a right to, but a proposal carries with it an obli gation, i. e., the one who propos es is supposed to support the one proposed to. A goodly number of women support their husbands anyway—and a majority of them are forced to support themselves even though they have strong, ' able-bodied husbands. — We hope the lawyers for the •■defense” in the Moyer murder trial will not take over 30 days with 3 days of grace to prove that Orchard is a liar or prove that his general reputation as to truth and veracity is bad. Maybe Orchard is simply telling the “facts in the case. ~.v r: ::: . .. *r TUCKER’S PLACE.
