BINGING HIS LOVE ON THE BEAN.
The silly squashy rot and guff in the popular songs of the. day is lambasted in satire by the Fort Wayne News as follows: "The regular winter crop of 'song successes' is now being ground out by the publishing mills and preliminary announcements indicate that, as usual, all winners will scintillate with brilliancy and will be especially noteworthy of delicacy of expression, literary charm and ennobling thought. For instance there's 'My Hula Hula Love. Advertisements declare it is 'The one song that is ripe,to pluck now. Such sweet sentiment and such delicious
phrasing can only fittingly be expressed by the mtplc to which the words were set. Here's the chorus: ' '"Hula, oh Hawaii Hula, Smile on your Binga Zula, x Moonshines above. Sweet jungle dove. For you my love song is ringing, For you my bolo is swinging, p Come be my Hula, Hula love.' "It is presumed that the Zinga Zula is swinging his bolo for the pur-

It is a refreshing bit of news that wafts over the breezes from timber-

means of getting public Improvements the gentlement of the South Side Improvement association propose to use honey to catch the fly. Next week they propose to give a fish fry. A glance at the menu
makes our mouth water. When the mayor, the aldermen, county commissioners and hungry newspaper men set down to the festive boards of the Ridge roaders they will come, in contact with a summer feast fit for the gods. There will be fried perch, hot corn bread, green corn all covered with butter, water melon and Budweiser. For surely what would this feast be unless there was the invigorating Budweiser. We can almost see the Ridge roaders getting everything they want right away. Like the southern editor we are now In the kitchen with our feet on the stove. Bring on the victuals, the Budweiser and the cigars.

PAPERS AND POLITICIANS.
, The editor of the Fostoria, O., Times doesn't take mucn stock in the
criticisms of the politicians to the effect that the newspapers are trying to run the politics of the nation. He doesn't believe that the influence of the papers Is for evil, 'as Is so often claimed by politicians who have "been
found out." "The truth is," says the editor, "that politicians hate newspapers for the same reason that bats dread sunlight. The politician will tolerate a newspaper as long as the latter devotes itself to fulsome praise
of the candidate and to dense silence or forced apology when the politician is getting his graft In on the public."
