"John! John Dale! You know you are. not asleep a-ready. Did you bring home that medicine for the-ba by? No; forgot it just as you do everything else that concerns me and the children. - You can lislen to me or let it alone.oust as you Jllie, but I'm going to talk. It's the only time I have xto say a word to you "If it wasn't for tho papers, I'd never know anything. You do not think enough of me to tell me what happens in town or anywhere else. In fact, you don't read enough to know anything to tell. That little down tho street by that old bum and ex-saloon keeper is tho only pa per I ever see you reading. But, I thank you, sir, I can read. Women are getting independent in this bright and good day. We can have all the papers and magazines we want to read, if .we do have to sell butter and eggs to pay for them. I've Just been reading President. Roosevelt's speech delivered at Provincetown, and I don't care if you are a Democrat, I'll tell you to your teeth, it's a fine speech, I think the President is so brave and honest. Why, he just comes out and tells those trust-magnates that he is go ing to prosecute them to the bitter end. Ho doesn't fear Wall Street or anybody else. I have heard you say that you would have voted for Mr. Roosevelt if he had not been a black Republican. He's as white as you are, John if not whiter. I can tell you right now the women like him, and if they had a chance to vote for him they'd keep him in the White House another term, "Yes, you can grunt and make cut that you are asleep, but I know you're not. I read every word of Mr. Taft s speech made at Columbus, Ohio, and I admire it very much. He makes his position so very plain on the national issues. It seaui3. to me that any man ought to see politics as he does, except possibly John Dale and a lot of other tough-hided old Democrats who couldn't see a real truth if they were armed with telescopes and magnifying, glasses. I also read his address down in Oklahoma, and like the way he talk ed to those people. He told tlrem about their shameful gerrymander ing, and pointed out how the will of the people could be "defeated" under their proposed constitution by trickery and chincanery, and explain ed how there might be a majority of 10,000 for the Republican ticket, and yet there would be a Democratic legislature and two Democratic Sen ators. "No, Indeed, I'll not go to sleep until I get good and ready. I don't know anything about politics. Of coursenot; I'm a woman, and wo men arc not supposed to know any thing. That's right; abuse me. But you can't tell, to save your life, why you claim to be a Democrat and vote against those who are doing most for the country. Yes, my tongue, and It Is loose at both ends. But where is your loose? It's only loose when you are spinning some smut-: ty yarn down town or when you are yelling' yourself hoarse on the night after a local Democratic victory, won by throwing out negro votes. John, I really do believe you have the least sense -I mean good thinking sensci of any man I ever talked with. Yes, flare trp and get mad; that's you John Dale. "You know what a strong Demo crat Uncle Jud used to be well, I got a letter from Aunt Jane to-day stating that he had turned over. He was as big a fool as you ever was over Bryan and free-silver. You remember he declared that he was not going to have his hair cut un til Mr. Bryan or some other Denio-. crat of his views was landed in the White House. Well, Aunt Jane says his hair got so long he had to have it cut off. She says he was a Sight with his long, shaggy wool hanging about his neck and shoulders. "Well, what do I care if it is ten o'clock and you have to get up early. You know who has to get up. You'lLl lie right here until I get breakfast ready and drag you out of bed.' If you would look more into politics and quit being a fool about what you call Democracy, you'd be a far better, citizen. "There was a cartoon in to-day's paper which showed Mr. Bryan and old. Miss Democracy at the piano playing and singing as lovers are wont to do. Mr. Bryan is represent ed seated at the instrument with his head thrown back, his mouth wide open, and his fingers playing over the keys. Miss Democracy is stand ing close by his-side with her jnouth spread, looking like a love-sick swan. The book open on .the piano shows they are singing' that sweetest; 'of love songs, ''Love. Me and The World is Mine.' v 1" "Yes .it's foolish"; ! know; but If John Dale would study these simple lessons more, he'd be a much wiser man. : ' ."" .
