ARTFUL POLITICIANS.
Tile success I'u I "peddler'’ is
usually I In.* most .-uere.-sfiil poli
tician. Look backward al all the
men you have seen elected liy the
popular vole and you will usually
iind'thcm In he easily iirst in the
gentle act 61' nibbing on soft
soap. It' a candidate has all the
virtues of a Bayard and he hath
not.the faculty of exposing them
to view all would avail him noth
ing. lie would walk down this
vale of tears unnoticed, unhonor
ed and unsung.
The next best qualilicaf ion for
political success is an unmitigat
ed gall. To have virtues and to
tell people about them requires
gall, while to publish virtues
which you do not possess requires
a limitless measure of Ihe same
quality.
There are could less good men
whose names never appear in
public because they have Ihe
crowning quality of kneeling be
hind the pillar while Ihe smug
faced Pharisee stands prating on
the platform.
There are various methods by
which the* politician of the pres
ent day practices his various arts.
One throws out a hint about “tak
ing care of you;” another breath
es his undying love for the na
tionality which has I lie honor to
claim you; another in a sweet,
offhand manner, tells a slury
which goes l<> show, just acci
dentally, you know, that he oncei
attended the same church, and !
another tells a story about Ihe
cute remark made by your John
nie.
Behind your buck lie tells his
real rn-ciuispiralor that he thinks
“Ik* has I bat fellow.”
The all is gradually hemming
mol'd refined, however. At one
time, not long after the "prole
tariat” had been given Ihe fran
chise, Ihe candidate walked into
the cottage and palled Mikey oil
the head while he expatiated mi
the bean!ifully intellectual lines
of Mikey’s physiognomy. .Mikey’s
dad at last began to got wise and
now the candidate has lo adopt
mure subtle mellmds. lie meets
Mikey’s father feeding his face oil
a gravel pile—llial is, while he is
silting on a gravel pile—and he
asks him for a match .iusl in Ihe
most casual way possible. (Juici
ly the ensuing conversation veers
around to* politics and Mikey’s
father biles.—Nome Nugget.
Secretary Bryan’s avowed l.at
in-Aniei'iean policy, briefly staled,
seems In lie a little mure uf Ihe
same.
T.asl year was a record breaker
in the matter of shipwrecks. The
Republican party is not without
company in its misfortunes.
The man who cracked a posl
oll'ice safe and got a canceled
stamp seems to he .justified in
thinking the world has it in for
him.
The announcement that a Long
Island boy lost both of his legs
for the second lime warrants the
suspicion that the nature faker is
abroad in the land.
The people of California seem
lo be determined to raise another
Japanese seal'd. ‘Why don’t Cal
ifornians stir up something new
in the way of trouble?
Willi l lie coming in of woman’s
sulTrafl’e, I lie ladies claim they are
no longer afraid of mice and men.
A club for the extermination of
the former has been organized
Jiack East. The club (rolling pin)
for the other has long been in
existence.

HUMANISM.
By George Matthew Adams. '
Isms are a part of the progress
of I lie race. Here’s the best -of
all. Humanism. Humanism, we
will say, is the art of ,jusl being
Human.
Get back to being Human.
To be Human is to be Your
self. through and through. And
anybody that tries to he Human
usually tries a lo| of things that
turn out to be, in the eyes of oth
ers who never think of being Hu
man, very silly and very blunder
ing. But I hat is the delight of iL
all. The big, strong people are
those who are unusually Human.
Get back to being Human.
The Man of Affairs that can
sde the feeling side of the fel
low who puls his coat on; the
Woman of Wealth and Society
who is able to be Human in the
presence of her kitchen girl—they
are following out the leaching
of Humanism.
Get back to Doing Human.
Evil Prosperity makes the Snob.
Adversity and Catastrophe make
the 'Human.
<iot back lo being Human.
There are fewer Human beings
in Business than there should be.
Because1 men forget that their
helpers are not machines, but
Brain and Heart and Blood and
Bone—and Feeling. If every man
who reads this little talk would
enter his office, today determined
to act like a Human being, think
what Happiness would be added
to this day. For to be Human is
to be Kind, Considerate, Gener
ous. Forgiving, Helpful, Inspir
ing, as well as to make Mistakes
and Err.
Get back lo being Human.
The most Human tiling possi
ble is to do your Best. And if
you happen lo do your worst—
,jusl forget it. and start all over
again. That’s being VERA Hil
lman. And when you DO win big
and glory in Success—without,
fail—remember lo help the near
est fellow to.you toward winning.
That’s being mighty Human, too.
Gel back lo being Human.

Arguments May Be Disputed, But
(<Facts Are Facts.”
It i a fact that Valdez beer is a food and not a tonic.
Ask any doctor you know. Valdez beer aids digestion. Use
it a few times with your meals and you’ll find we’re right.
If you drink beer you should use Valdez beer in preference to
others. First, because of its unquestionable high quality.
Second, because it is a home pr duct; brewed in your home
town and all who are interested in the growth and prosper
ity of Valdez should patroniz home products.
