The Teleeram has withheld any serious criticism of the present Leg- islature, but it warns the members thereof that if a bill abolishing the convict lease system is not passed the people are going to be very much dis- eatisfied. And it must be a bill with real intent to abolish the system, and pot some half-hearted measure dic- tated by the interests that profit by the perpetuation of this legalized elavery.

The man who is in debt is as a fly stuck fast to sticky fly paper. The more he struggles the tighter e sticks. He struggles until his| courage is gone, then he dies, and yet this is the condition of more than half the people of the United States today. More than half the people are in debt— that is to say, they are living beyond their means, or they are' gpending every cent. And the man who is spending every cent he gets is actually in debt and running in debt, for he is running in debt to his old age, when he won’t be able to make, and won't be able to spend, and when the spending of to- day means debt later. 5 Those that are in debt know what debt is. There is no need to tell them about it. First you owe $50 if you are a lit- tle man, or $50,000 if you are a big man. And then you owe $100—or $100,- 000 if you are big. For awhile you struggle and plan. You are going to pay it off soon. It ‘a a good thing to use “O P M,” that is to say, other people's money in the effort to get ahead. You tell yourself that all the big rien have used their credit and bor- rowed and gone ahead rapidly. It sounds very nice and plausible. But remember that you Keep get- ting in deeper. The fly lights on the flypaper, per- haps only one leg at first. He says this is nothing, and puts down the other legs to push himself off. And then he is stuck fast. And then he says to himself: *I will fly away from this flypaper,” so he begins flapping his wings. And both of his wings stick to the paper. rious entrances to the State’s tax col- lecting machinery, and that he comes out at the little end of the horn. ‘This is particularly true of the tax- payer who owns only a moderate amount of property. Sl President Wilson is not a success, for he has not won the approval of Claude L'Engle, who is much dissat- fied because 8o many Republicans are ctill holding office in lglpflda while there are so many more than willin’ Democrats.

But he wasn’t satisfied. There he is with his feet stuck a1d his wings stuck and only his head free. That fly feels about as independent and hearty as you do if you are in debt.

Following a baseball game, in which the Yankees came to ignomin- ous defeat, Irving S. Cobb, the hu- morist, approachedl Frank Chance and said: 5 “Would you mind if I gave your little surprise—a little treat?" “Not at all,” responded (‘hance. It might cheer them up.” “Well, then,” continued Cobb, ‘‘call them over here and I'll show them third base.” An Irishman, having gone out in| his nightgown on a bitter cold night to stop the howling of a dog, was found by his wife almost paralyzed with cold, holding the struggling dog by the tail, “Howley murder, Pat,” says she, “what would ye be afther doin’?” *Hush,” said Pat, ‘“don’t ye see Oi'm tryin' to fraze the baste.” Adam.and Eve A mother in Worcester, Mass., who had orthodox views, had told her children the Garden of Eden story, says the Chicago Record-Herald, The children were greetly impressed. One | afternoon, returning from town, the! mother found the palms and ferns had disappeared from the veranda. Going into the darkcned living room she saw one of her boys, minus cloth- ing, reclining under a big fern, while another equally clothesless was| standing by a polm. They enlight- ened her by explaining that they were playing Adam and Eve in the garden. At that minute her youngest boy, not 3, came into the room as nature had first given Lim to the world, ex- cept that he wore a silk hat on his head, and carried a cane. “And pray who are you?" askod the mother.
